ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Film comic

Well, let's start with comics. Do you know what comics are? They are like stories with pictures in them. They show you what's happening in the story. They often have superheroes in them, like Spiderman, Batman, and Superman.

Now, let's talk about films. Have you ever watched a movie? Films are like longer and bigger versions of comic books that you can watch on TV or at the cinema. They are usually made with real people, not just drawings.

So when we talk about a film comic, we mean a comic book that is made based on a film. It tells the story of the movie using pictures and words, just like a regular comic book. It's a way to keep enjoying the story even after you've seen the movie.

Sometimes, the opposite happens too. A comic book might be turned into a movie. This is called a movie adaptation of a comic book. It's when the filmmakers take the story, characters, and world from the comic book and use them to create a movie.

In summary, a film comic is a comic book that tells the story of a movie, and a movie adaptation is when a comic book is turned into a movie. Both are great ways to enjoy your favorite stories!
