'Endgame' Theories and Spoilers
Okay, so as Endgame approaches we are left to analyze possible spoilers, rumors, and trailers shot for shot. So today, I am going to spout out what I would like to see, what I would do from a writer’s perspective, and I am going to lay out every spoiler I have read, that seems to have some validity to it. So this is your last chance to turn back, there will be SO MANY possible spoilers, and though nothing is guaranteed, some of you may be pretty pissed if you read this and then i’m right…

The Legacy of Iron Man
The first character that brought us into the world of the MCU as we know it was Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, and 10 years later, we couldn’t imagine anyone else bringing this character to life. He is truly his character, and if you watch interviews with him, he and Tony are certainly one. Sometimes it is hard to see where Tony Stark ends and Robert Downey Jr. begins, and we are lucky that we have someone who is willing to throw himself so fully into a character to spearhead the film franchise that would change so many people’s lives. There is much speculation as to what the MCU has in store for us and our characters in Endgame, much of it revolving around which of the characters that we love are going to survive the movie. This movie is going to be a heartbreaking, rough, hell of a three-hour journey and it's been rumored that only two of our original six Avengers are going to survive.

The Future of James Buchanan Barnes
Oh, the love of my life, James Buchanan Barnes, there are so many directions for the MCU to take his character after the resolution of Endgame. He could (and should) be the one to take up the mantle of Captain America (he is the other super soldier, I know falcon would also be comic book accurate but it makes much less sense don’t fight me on this), but as seen in Black Panther’s end credit scene, apparently White Wolf is an option for the future of Bucky Barnes (which makes no sense whatsoever but sure). So let’s talk about just how much of this character the MCU has left to explore.

'Infinity Gauntlet'—'Infinity War'
As we know the MCU’s Infinity War had little to nothing to do with the actual Infinity War comic. The cinematic story actually follows closer to Infinity Gauntlet and by closer I mean... There is an Infinity Gauntlet. Though neither comic book story line is really reflected in the MCU’s biggest Avenger’s movie, there are bits and pieces from Infinity Gauntlet that could possibly come into play in Endgame (whether we want them to or not).

'Captain Marvel' Review
I will start by saying that I did like the movie overall, all of its elements worked well together, and it was a technically cohesive movie that had a great rhythm and flow. Any problems I had with it were from a nerd perspective, not a professional one. The updated Marvel title sequence was a beautiful tribute to Stan Lee and caused me to start this movie through tears.

Scarlet Witch
Although we have an idea of what the next phase of the Marvel Universe will entail, the details are a bit murky, especially when it comes to the new mini-series events coming to Disney’s streaming service. The only one I am concerned about, however, is the future of Scarlet Witch. My favorite character, one of the most powerful comic book characters ever, and a very easy character to screw up if they don’t handle it properly.

Tom Holland Is the Best Spider-Man
The best way I used to put this was; Toby Maguire was a good Peter Parker, but not a good Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield was a decent Spider-Man but an awful Peter Parker. Of course, Tom Holland is an incredible Spider-Man and adorable Peter Parker. Upon further analysis, Toby McGuire is barely passable as Peter Parker and a just awful Spider-Man.

'Civil War'
The MCU has, of course, made many changes to the storylines adapted for the screen. The act of changing a story from one format to another can not be without challenges and of course changes, especially when condensing a Universe-wide series to a single movie.

'Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe'
All the things we love about Deadpool in a neat disturbing package. Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe has epic fourth wall breaks and all the characters you know and love dead. You would think a mini-series whose main storyline is all the characters dying would be sad and depressing, but in true Deadpool fashion, it's badass fight scenes and comedic timing alleviate the disturbing nature of the content. Add to that, most of the heroes (and villains) die in graphic but ridiculous ways, a lot of them being beheaded.

'Black Panther'
I have had this conversation many times, with many different people, but I normally get so angry I can’t formulate a solid argument—even though I’m right—so here we go. Certain people have told me that absolutely nothing in Black Panther's plot is political. Nothing... not the villain's entire motivation or 90 percent of his dialogue.
