A Lineup For the Ages

A Battle Of Super Films: Marvel And DC

The Dawn of Superhero movies is upon us, and it's absolutely glorious.

I've never read the comics, or watched the TV series'. The exception to that is "The Flash" and "Arrow", which are both super good and I recommend them highly. The acting is good, great story-lines, and excellent value.

While Marvel has the movie market cornered and DC has the show market cornered, that may be changing soon. The "Captain America" and "Avengers" arcs are starting to slow down, which were massive money makers for Marvel. However, other single stories are starting to steal the spotlight, like the plans for "Black Panther"and "Black Widow", along with a new "Spider Man" movie and the impending release of "Doctor Strange", where Benedict Cumberbatch stops pretending to be a detective for a bit and starts pretending to be a wizard.

DC answered with "Batman V. Superman," which was received with mixed reviews. However, that was a first effort, and the impeding "Justice League"movie looks a lot more complete. "Wonder Woman" has everyone freaking out, and rightfully so. The movie looks awesome in its own right, and it features a strong female character as the leader of the narrative arc, who also can deal out some major ass kicking and world saving.

"Justice League" also unites some of the heroes we're familiar with, such as Ben Affleck's Batman, as well as some new ones. Wonder Woman, the Flash (played by a different actor than Grant Gustin, who is the star of the TV Series for some reason that escapes me), Cyborg, and Jason Momoa's rather terrifying turn as Aquaman.

A lot of people ragged on Aquaman for the longest time, and he was even spoofed in "Spongebob" by Mermaid Man, whose uniforms are remarkably similar if you look at retro Aquaman. However, Jason Momoa makes him a lot more formidable in the new trailer, where he pretty much throws Ben Affleck into a wall for daring to speak to him.

How can we forget the impending release of "Suicide Squad," where Will Smith and Margot Robbie take on the world as supervillains Deadshot and Harley Quinn respectively. Jared Leto brings a spark to the Joker that we haven't seen since Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight."

Be these developments as it may, it'll be unclear as to which franchise of movies will come out with a higher gross income in the end, but one thing's for sure; it'll be awesome to watch.

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.

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.
