Why Avengers: Endgame Was An (Almost) Perfect Film

live.staticflickr.com

No film is perfect, but I feel as if Avengers: Endgame was as perfect as it could have been. The union of every character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has only been dreamt about, but somehow Marvel pulled off the most amazing series of events that was a perfect follow-up to Infinity War. Endgame was just the exact amount of un-satisfying and satisfying that left a profound impact on me.

The humor was top-notch and the nostalgia was serious. All the jokes in the movie were realistic and funny to the point where it seemed to distract the characters just enough from the pain and removed some out of the situation for the viewers to keep the movie a little light-hearted and not just dark at some points. The movie had perfectly timed nostalgia and put every scene together in a way that made the most sense. With the scenes that went back to the original Avengers and so many perfect scenes with Cap, everything was so perfect. Captain America's "Hail Hydra" line when he went back in time to retrieve the tesseract was one of the most insane and coolest lines in the whole movie and was so well-timed in a dire situation that added so much life to the movie.

The emotions were absolutely heart-wrenching. Whether it was Captain America accidentally finding himself in the office of his dream girl in 1970, or choosing to spend the rest of his life with her when he goes back in time to revert changes, Marvel did a great job of making you feel for Cap. And the whole movie is littered with scenes like this, but the one that really got me was when Black Widow sacrifices herself so that Hawkeye can survive, get the Soul Stone, and have a chance at seeing his family again. And we all know that no character can stay with a certain role forever, and that's why the sending off of Iron Man and Robert Downey was the most perfect ending that could have happened. Being introduced to his daughter, and him having to leave his family to save the universe was the best way to have him end his Marvel career. His hug with Peter Parker and his final moments before his death really hit home.

So thank you, Marvel, for bringing us one of the best and most ambitious films in history.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
