Bring On The Superheroes

Levels of excitement rise in the midst of the upsurge of superhero films

Bring On The Superheroes
Comic Vine

The chest of comic superheroes has been opened by both Marvel Studios and D.C. Comics within these past couple of years and there's no going back. We, the superhero-loving public, are being graced with even more of these epic superheroes within the next couple months to look forward to. So, levels of excitement are bound to be rising and falling within the minds of the public as we begin this journey through the worlds of the superheroes...

The guide to the levels of excitement:

*****= Jump-out-of-your-seat exhilaration.

****= "Can't wait to start watching!"

***= "Hoping this movie lives up to expectation" excitement.

**= Worried apprehension.

*= "Eh, I'm not so sure."

1. Wonder Woman (2017)

*****

Let's be honest, this movie reaches EXTREME levels of excitement, like out-of-your-seat-the-whole-movie excitement. The day of June 2nd brought us the much-anticipated Wonder Woman (2017) movie which has now topped the box office for two weeks in a row and has scored a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. Between the Wonder Woman backstory and then the action-packed scenes of Diana taking charge with her godly powers, I was thoroughly impressed and not to mention totally empower by this film.

2. Black Panther (2018)

*****


We first saw Black Panther, also known as T'Challa, in Captain America: Civil War (2016) and audiences were thrilled to see the emergence of a new empowering character to the Marvel scene. Now that the movie is coming out in February 2018, I, for one, can hardly wait to see his backstory and what evils he will face in order to defend his kingdom. Not to mention the intense levels of excitement at seeing the full extent of his powers which have already promised to be very cool.

3. The Defenders (2017)

****


Netflix's TV series based off of Marvel characters of Jessica Jones (2015), Daredevil (2015), Luke Cage (2016), and Iron Fist (2017) are teaming up to form one miniseries called The Defenders. These superheroes will come together to defend New York City against the evils that threaten to destroy it. This miniseries, which becomes available for streaming on August 18th, promises to be epic as we will see how each of these superheroes work together in the collision of their stories. After binge-watching each of the characters' TV series, my levels of enthusiasm are reaching the edge of my seat in anticipation. Get ready to binge-watch people!

4. Justice League (2017)

***


Ahhh, finally, this November we will see the Justice League team come into fruition outside of a cartoon. However, after the responses to Superman V. Batman: Dawn of Justice (2016), we might be a little worried about this movie as no one wants to see it fail. But, with the success of Wonder Woman (2017), we can keep our hopes up that this movie is going to be just as great as the trailer promises. I mean we are going to see Batman and Wonder Woman working together to form an epic league of superheroes. What could go wrong?

5. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

**


Alright, here's where enthusiasm levels drop a little. Marvel's Spider-Man character is being remade again in this movie that reaches theaters on July 7th. We've already been introduced to this new Spider-Man, that promises to stay even more true to the Marvel comics, in Captain America: Civil War (2016). It was pretty cool to see him teamed up with all of the Avengers. So, this movie could go either way, but let's at least hope that this Spider-Man will stick. I mean third time's the charm, right?

Thus, here we wait, on the edge of our seats, hoping that each of these superhero movies (or TV Series) will live up to the expectations that have been building since childhood. And it is here that the excitement continues to grow.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
