Marvel's Biggest Mistake

For the Disney powerhouse that is Marvel Studios, it still isn't perfect.

After 10 years of buildup, I finally was able to see the culmination of Marvel movie universe: "Avengers: Infinity War".

Honestly, I wasn't that emotionally freaked out as I expected.

The movie was really good, and I enjoyed it, but I wasn't left in complete and utter emotional turmoil as other fans have claimed. I thought that the "deaths" were completely undermined by the future of the franchises, and the line-up of movies tell a different story than the Marvel current standings.

I think Marvel has changed the meaning of what a movie is. This franchise has created a new way of telling a story, throwing out the old formula of a story taking place within two hours to stories taking place with multiple movies.

Personally, I think this throws out the age-old idea of developing characters and plots, instead of looking for a larger story that requires someone to view over 10 movies in order to slowly piece together what story is actually being told.

As much as I enjoyed having this overarching story to pick apart, once more characters started arriving on the big screen, I felt as though the character lost their sense of independence, and instead were more just cogs to help churn out the bigger picture of "Infinity War" and beyond.

For the future of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, I think the entire company needs to look beyond painting a bigger picture and just have some simple fun with their characters. Why can't there just be a movie about Howard the Duck or a random obscure character? Then instead of having hits that they play into a larger role, just have the movie be for simple fun.

This may make fans go insane trying to find small specks of a connection, but I think ultimately it will allow fans to find a greater appreciation for the stories that Marvel had been telling for decades.

Hey, I'd love to see that "Howard the Duck" finally come to the big screen, except it'd be a lot from the 1980's trash that Marvel attempted back in the day.

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.
