I got into Marvel last year, during the early whispers of COVID-19 spreading globally, and I don't regret it. I watched every single Marvel movie, from the Toby McGuire's version of Spider-man (2002) to the latest, amazing show WandaVision; and I have never been more excited for the next phase of Marvel's TV shows. After Avengers: Endgame, fans that filled the theater to watch the cinematic masterpiece had sobbed after the credits had rolled. After such a fantastic, devastating and masterful film, what comes next for the MCU?

The answer is many, many good things to come.

WandaVision

Marvel Studios/ Disney Plus

I have to say that this is the best Marvel show ever created. It's honestly my favorite Marvel produced piece of art that was ever created, and if you haven't seen it, you must. Especially if you're a Marvel fan, it's a crucial beginning to the Phase 4 of the MCU and non-negotiable if you're a fan of good writing, good TV shows and good film. Not only is it the most popular TV show in the World, it's a dazzling reveal of the beginning of Phase 4 of the MCU.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

WandaVision centers around Wanda and her lover and husband Vision as well as their family, in their perfect life in Westview. But not all is at it seems, because as the show progresses further in the future from the 50s, sinister people and motives are revealed to be at play, with Vision suddenly being back from the dead, and a town of people being held hostage. It's a show about Wanda, now the most powerful Avenger in the MCU which is verbally confirmed in the show, and how grief can consume and destroy you, and everyone around you. From charming aesthetics of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s to fabricating a fictional fantasy world were your lover didn't die and you both could live happily ever after with a family of four, WandaVision is a must watch show.

As the beginning of Phase 4, WandaVision takes places just weeks after the end of Avengers: Endgame, and shows the result of the epic, unforgettable final battle with Thanos. People come back from the blip, unaged from 5 years when this disaster had began. Now everyone on earth is scrambling, as half the population is unaged and unmoved in time since then while the other half had to deal with the grief of the world spinning without their loved ones. Like Wanda and Monica in the main cast ofWandaVision, millions of people are struggling to understand what to do in this new, scarred world. It's brilliant, show-stopping, heartwarming and heartwrenching all in one show. Plus, who doesn't love a bit of magic in their life?

The Falcon And The Winter Soldier

Marvel Studios/ Disney Plus

The Falcon and The Winter Soldier premieres March 19th, 2021 which is two weeks after the end of WandaVision. I have high hopes for this show, and while I'm not as excited for it as I was for WandaVision or as I am for Loki, I'm excited to see Falcon and Bucky try to fit in Captain America's shoes. His wrinkly, precious old man shoes that he left for them after he lived a full life with Peggy Carter. Steve Rogers is arguably the main character of the MCU (of course, sharing the main spotlight with Tony Stark), am I'm interested to see what void is left, and how Falcon and Bucky can fill it.

Loki

Marvel Studios/ Disney Plus

Loki will follow Loki escaping with the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame, and under the careful watch and guard of the TVA (Time Variance Authority). Held by the the organization devoted to correcting the timeline, we're left to wonder hoe Loki will escape and what kind of mischief that out favorite villain (slash hero maybe? He does die for Thor) will get up to in his very own TV show. Space? Loki? Time-travel? There will definitely be chaos.

Personally, I'm super excited for space misadventures with our favorite villain. The show premieres two weeks after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.

Spiderman: No Way Home

Marvel Studios / Disney

I love Tom Holland. I love Zendaya. I was extremely disappointed in Spiderman: Homecoming and Spiderman: Far From Home. I hated the focus on high-school Peter, but nevertheless it was good. I'm sure everyone expects big things now that 1. Peter's identity is revealed to the public, 2. Aunt May is vulnerable now that people can find Peter, his school and his home. I'm super excited for this even though I was disappointed by the first two Spider-Man movies in this MCU, because this time Peter has to face serious issues and life threatening troubles and traumas. We're going to see a much more mature Peter Parker than ever before, and I can't wait.

And here are the rest of the shows that are coming up: Miss Marvel (about Monica, from WandaVision), Captain Marvel 2, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, What If? (an awesome animated show about different marvel movies with a twist on them), the delayed Black Widow movie, Shang-Chi, Eternals, Hawkeye and She-Hulk.

This article would be thousands of words long if I got into every single one of these shows, so I only covered the big names and what was coming out soon aka the trilogy and the eagerly awaited Spiderman: No Way Home. Out of the list in the previous paragraph, Doctor Strange has always been a favorite of mine and I'm interested as to what Eternals, What If and Miss Marvel will bring to the MCU. We have years of movies ahead of us, and I've got my popcorn ready to go.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
