Marvel's Biggest Mistake

For the Disney powerhouse that is Marvel Studios, it still isn't perfect.

After 10 years of buildup, I finally was able to see the culmination of Marvel movie universe: "Avengers: Infinity War".

Honestly, I wasn't that emotionally freaked out as I expected.

The movie was really good, and I enjoyed it, but I wasn't left in complete and utter emotional turmoil as other fans have claimed. I thought that the "deaths" were completely undermined by the future of the franchises, and the line-up of movies tell a different story than the Marvel current standings.

I think Marvel has changed the meaning of what a movie is. This franchise has created a new way of telling a story, throwing out the old formula of a story taking place within two hours to stories taking place with multiple movies.

Personally, I think this throws out the age-old idea of developing characters and plots, instead of looking for a larger story that requires someone to view over 10 movies in order to slowly piece together what story is actually being told.

As much as I enjoyed having this overarching story to pick apart, once more characters started arriving on the big screen, I felt as though the character lost their sense of independence, and instead were more just cogs to help churn out the bigger picture of "Infinity War" and beyond.

For the future of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, I think the entire company needs to look beyond painting a bigger picture and just have some simple fun with their characters. Why can't there just be a movie about Howard the Duck or a random obscure character? Then instead of having hits that they play into a larger role, just have the movie be for simple fun.

This may make fans go insane trying to find small specks of a connection, but I think ultimately it will allow fans to find a greater appreciation for the stories that Marvel had been telling for decades.

Hey, I'd love to see that "Howard the Duck" finally come to the big screen, except it'd be a lot from the 1980's trash that Marvel attempted back in the day.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
