As we get closer and closer to the release of "Infinity War"it seems that DC comics has been left in the dust. Not only did Justice League not meet many expectations but also got some rough rotten tomatoes score of 40%! Many assumed that after the wonder that was the wonder woman that DC was in good hands. Marvel, on the other hand, seems to have success after success.

So what is it that Marvel is doing that DC can’t? Is it that the juggernaut that is Disney has launched what has seemed to be a superhero franchise that cannot be defeated? Can Warner Bros even think to outsmart Disney and Kevin Feige? Who knows.

What I do know is that after 11 years, everyone and their mother will be heading off to the theaters on April 26th to see their favorite superhero take on Thanos. Marvels family-friendly angle not only appeals to younger audiences but also attracts older generations to the theater due to marvels light-hearted humor compared to the DC universes dark aspects. Yes, the Justice League did have more of a light-hearted theme to it.

Though I don’t think it was for the better. Attempting to beat Marvel at its own game will not only be ridiculous but might even prove fatal for DC movies as we know them. I for one love DC's darker edge and think they should stick with it, though that quality is what will inevitably turn the younger audiences away from them at the theaters. Not all, but most. Especially if DC continues to make their animated movies rated R.

In my personal opinion, Marvel might have better movies overall, but DC has the better material. The Batman comics alone have more memorable villains than all of the Marvel movies combined. Yes, Loki is a fan favorite, heck, I love him too. But there is no way he can compete with the complexity and depth that is the Joker.

Why choose sides when we can have both, right? So as the next few weeks pass after we all sit down and watch "Infinity War," what will be Warner Bros next move? The next movie we have from the DCEU will be "Aquaman" and who can resist Jason Momoa shirtless? I know I can’t, so as a hard-Core DC fan I will be there. The real question is how will they make a splash in a way that Marvel hasn’t already? And how will we relate to Aqua Man in a way that we hadn’t got to in the JL?

As aconnoisseur of comics my wallet is constantly empty as long as creative minds have the ability to make bomb material I won’t have money for a while. I will be spending the next couple of weeks praying that both Steve Rodgers and Tony Stark make it out alive, just as I know many of you will be doing.

So many questions, though we have so much time.

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.
