I remember when I was nine years old, there was this movie that came out that I loved to pieces. I bought and read the novelization of the movie, even though I wasn’t a huge reader then. I even went as the main character that year for Halloween in 2008. That year was the year of Iron Man for me and my Marvel fever has not died down since then.

For a little under 10 years, my life has been blessed with 19 revolutionary movies that all take place in one world. For half of my short life, I’ve been going to theaters, sitting with my popcorn, and watching a new Marvel movie at least once a year, sometimes even twice. These movies have been a staple of my teenage years, and I think that’s why I love them so much.

I think that this love is a big part of the reason why Avengers: Infinity War did record shatteringly well at the box office. For a lot of people my age and younger, most of their lives have been dominated by Marvel mania, and that long-term connection to characters like Iron Man or Captain America makes this movie all the more important to see.

Another reason that Avengers and the MCU, in general, has done so well is the variety of audiences that it reaches. From the coming of age story in Spiderman to the cultural impact of Black Panther, the MCU has reached out so many different people of all walks of life, bringing all of these beloved characters together in Infinity War. The love and reverence that Marvel fans show these movies brought so many into the audience, and more because of the cultural impact that this movie has had.

Because Infinity War was the fastest movie ever to earn 1 billion dollars in the box office, and one of the first ever to target 2 billion, people have flocked to see this movie as soon as possible, before the spoilers take over Twitter and ruin the movie for them.

That’s what I believe is the reason that Avengers: Infinity War has done so well. It’s a record-breaking movie and for no other reason than that it is record-breaking, it will continue growing and growing.

And on another note, Marvel recently lent Thanos as a character to Fortnite Battle Royale for a limited time Infinity Gauntlet game mode. These two companies are both incredibly popular right now, and combining the two is unprecedented. Hopefully, I can resist playing this new game mode long enough to study for finals!

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
