Reactions To 'The Fate Of The Furious' Trailer

My thoughts about the new Fast and Furious Trailer

Reactions To 'The Fate Of The Furious' Trailer
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

I love the Fast and Furious Series and it is one of my absolute favorites. I have loved each movie more with each new release even "Furious 7," the one that broke my heart. The one that I cried when it ended for obvious reasons (Brian O'Connor driving off into the sunset, knowing that Paul Walker would never grace the silver screen again.)

Yesterday, "The Fate of the Furious" (Furious 8) trailer was finally released after over a year's worth of waiting. I've been excitedly awaiting the release of the new trailer and after watching it I have some seriously mixed emotions about it.

"The Fate of the Furious" is a whole new game compared to the previous 7 films. In the movie, Dom turns on the one thing that means more to him than anything else. Family. Hobbs, the one usually doing the hunting, is thrown in prison and plot twist (not really) Dom is once again being hunted by Hobbs. To me, even the idea of Dom turning on his family infuriates me and makes me not want to see the movie. I will definitely see the movie even though in the back of my mind I'll be mad about them choosing this plotline. I cannot ever imagine Dom turning on his family and I am honestly shocked that this was the plotline selected.

I both love and hate the new trailer but, I can only hope that Dom returns to his family for good. I don't expect Furious 8 to do as well as the others mainly because of this huge plot twist and because Paul Walker is gone. But I might be surprised about how well it turns out. Who knows. I can understand why the producers had to make such a drastic change because of the loss of Paul and also a main character, so that the franchise could continue to succeed and do well, but I do wish it hadn't been this drastic.I wish that in some way (and they might've done it) F8 will show how the family is adjusting to working without Brian and Mia, and maybe even a brief scene or two featuring Mia begging Dom not to turn on the family. With the release of this trailer I defintely am questioning the entire movie and if its worth seeing, but the only way to get my questions answered is to go to the Midnight Premeire in April 2017. Until my questions are answered I'll just fill the agonizing wait with the 7 other films.

I'll just leave this here. The franchise won't be the same without Paul Walker, but I can't wait to see what Vin Diesel has come up with as an actor and a producer.

Movies 9 and 10 have been tentatively scheduled to release in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
