Quick warning- lots of spoilers to follow. If you haven't seen Infinity War, don't read this yet. And go watch it, because it's seriously awesome. Then come back and read this.

With that out of the way, Infinity War has finally come and it ends on a devastating cliffhanger. Like most Marvel movies though, it also gives us a hint of what's to come with a post-credits scene. In this one, just before disappearing, Nick Fury manages to send out a call for... someone. But who is it? Well, that's what I'm here to explain.

Longtime Marvel fans will recognize the symbol on Fury's phone as Captain Marvel's. For those who don't know about her, it's a stylized version of this:

Known as Carol Danvers publicly, she's a superhero who can probably be best described in abilities as being comparable to the MCU equivalent of Superman. She can fly and send out energy beams, and she's super strong too. Someone like her is going to be needed to take on someone as powerful as the mad titan Thanos and so it's definitely a good thing Fury called her in.

The questions you might have now are how does Fury have contact with Captain Marvel in the first place, and why didn't he call her sooner? Both good inquiries. To answer the first, we'll have to wait for the Captain Marvel solo movie starring Brie Larson in 2019 but the short answer is that he probably worked with her at some point when he was still young and had both eyes. The Captain Marvel movie is set to be an origin story, so we'll likely learn more about this when it comes out.

As for why Fury didn't call her right away? This is harder to answer and it will most likely be elaborated on in the next Avengers film, but it's possible that he didn't think it was necessary. Perhaps he sees her as something of a fail-safe, only to be called in for the greatest of crises due to how much power she has to be potentially destructive. It's also possible that since SHIELD is less in control than it used to be prior to the events of Winter Soldier, he wasn't as aware of how dangerous Thanos was until it was too late.

So there you have it, the rundown on one of the newest heroes to be hitting the MCU. For extra context, see Kelly Sue DeConnick's excellent run of the Captain Marvel comics starting with In Pursuit of Flight.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
