Highlights From San Diego Comic Con 2017

When Nerds Attack

This past weekend, San Diego Comic Con happened. For those who don't know what SDCC is, it is one of the most anticipated fan events of the year. It is where casts from upcoming movies and casts from popular TV shows go to share news, trailers, exclusive footage, and more to fans. Here are some of the highlights from SDCC that are sure to get you excited for the next year in film and TV.

1. Thor: Ragnarok trailer

The third installment in the Thor films has a star studded cast, including Cate Blanchet and Jeff Goldblum, and Mark Ruffalo returning as the Hulk/ Bruce Banner. The trailer is filled with color and introductions to some new fierce characters. Also, the Hulk finally speaks! You can watch the trailer here:

2. Marvel's The Defenders trailer

Marvel has now had four shows on Netflix, those shows being Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. Now, all four heroes are coming together to form The Defenders in this new show, to protect New York City, mainly Manhattan. Joining the cast will be Sigourney Weaver playing the villain. Here is the official trailer from SDCC:

3. Avengers: Infinity War teaser trailer

The third Avengers film is going to be huge. The Guardians of Galaxy will meet the Avengers for the first time, joining forces to defeat Thanos, a villain who has been slowly building up to this moment in the MCU for years with the Infinity Stones. Unfortunately, the teaser trailer that was presented to fans at SDCC has not been released online to the public, but according to fans who were there, the teaser shows a big battle with the Guardians and Avengers fighting alongside each other against Thanos.

4. Justice League extended trailer

Moving onto DC, an extended trailer for Justice League was released at SDCC. Batman and Wonder Woman are recruiting a team of metahumans, including The Flash, Aquman, and Cyborg in this new trailer you can watch here:

5. Kingsman: The Golden Circle trailer

The sequel to the first Kingsman movie arrives in theatres this September and once again stars Taron Egerton and Colin Firth. Joining them in the cast will be Halle Berry, Julianne Moore, and Channing Tatum. The trailer is full of action and looks like a really exciting sequel. Watch the trailer below!

6. Stranger Things season 2 trailer

Obviously, Stranger Things was a huge hit when it premiered on Netflix last summer and people are waiting impatiently for season 2 to premiere this October. Fans were treated with the official season 2 trailer at SDCC this past weekend and it shows the gang of kids still being haunted by the Upside Down and looking for Eleven. Also, the use of "Thriller" by Michael Jackson as the music in the trailer was quite a fitting touch.

7. Blade Runner 2049

The second trailer for the sequel to 1982's Blade Runner was actually released before SDCC, but of course there wast still a panel for the movie. The trailer shows that its cinematography is very much like that of the original film. Harrison Ford will be reprising his role as Rick Deckard, alongside Ryan Gosling who will be the new star of the franchise.

I don't know about you, but I am quite excited for the next year in movies and television.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

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.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

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.
