What It's Like To Be A Tough Guy That Cries At The Movies

Who started cutting the onion? I thought this was a Marvel movie!

What It's Like To Be A Tough Guy That Cries At The Movies

Gladiator matches are one thing. Wars amongst friends are another entirely.

Soon after "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" takes theaters by storm, we'll be graced with the long awaited, "Captain America: Civil War."

In one of the biggest superhero years on history, "Captain America: Civil War" seems to be the one that everyone is looking forward to, and thanks to the scarcity of trailers for it, all we've had to go off of is hype. Batman fighting Superman has been universally known as a battle we all want to see. But Captain America fighting Iron Man? Did Tony curse again?

Based off the trailers alone, we know how serious it's going to get between those two. They've always butted heads, but they've also had the utmost respect for each other and would gladly take a bullet for the other. Their dynamic is simple: act as a team and do what's best for the betterment of the people. You have Captain America who is full of nobility and honor without the ego, and then you have Iron Man who doesn't have a modest bone in his body and loves the credit, but has shown, as in "The Avengers," that if he has to give up his life to save everyone else, he will.

Which begs the question, "Why the heck are these two going to war with each other?" As the trailers show, they need to be put in check with all the destruction that's been caused by their actions. The Superhuman Registration Act is supposed to just that, as enacted by everyone's least favorite war hero, General Ross.

Tony Stark is game for whatever it takes to stop the chaos. Which, apparently in the trailer, involves turning the other cheek if a crime is about to take place. "I'm sorry, Tony. If I see a situation pointed south, I can't ignore it. Sometimes I wish I could."

The trailers heavily point to the emotional fights that will ensue between Captain America and Iron Man. I mean come on, who else isn't going to get emotionally involved in this scene?

But there's one thing people aren't looking at when in fact they might be the biggest player in the movie: Crossbones.

For those who don't want spoilers, stop now. I'm not going to spell out the nitty gritty, but one reason I'm expecting to have every guy I go with to bring tissue boxes is because of the Crossbones character.

At the end of "Captain America: Winter Soldier," we saw Brock Rumlow's character nearly burnt to a crisp, and anyone who's read the comics knows he becomes Crossbones.

There's also another factor at play that producers will not confirm or deny for the movie: death. The beatdowns at the end of both trailer strongly hint at the possibility of death in the movie. For those who read the comics, you know what I'm talking about.

I asked fellow Fresnan and Marvel Enthusiast, Garon Skinner, about his assumption from the trailers, "I think that Vision or Captain America will die in the movie. In the comics, while the movies have strayed away a tad from the comics, Vision was created by Ultron and has a brief time where he's actually a pawn under Ultron's control. They didn't do that in "Age of Ultron." I think there's gonna be a turn of events that will cause certain characters to switch sides."

He went on to say, "If Captain America does die, that'll be the last straw for Tony. Especially if it is Crossbones that kills him, although I don't think they'll do that because Captain America has become such necessary asset not only to the teams, but to the fans."

There won't be words if that actually happens. I mean I almost walked out of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" when (spoiler ahead) Han Solo died. I don't know how or why they would, but if they did get rid of Captain America, I'll be sobbing.

Prepare for possibly the most emotional movie you'll watch this year.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
