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.

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.

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.

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.
