Comic book based movies and TV shows have taken over today's entertainment business. Here are some of the best moments we've seen.

5: The death of Gwen Stacey

The Amazing Spiderman 2 arguably wasn't the in the top 10 for greatest comic book movies in a long run, but one thing they did right (though it broke every Spiderman fans heart watching it) was the death of Gwen Stacey. Seeing Andrew Garfield break down destroyed nearly everyone even if they weren't satisfied with the film.

4: The death of Jason Todd/the second Robin and the introduction of the Red Hood

Batman has always had some amazing and well known storylines. If you mention Death in the Family to any Batman fan they would instantly know what you were talking about. In 2010 they released an animated movie about the story which is arguably one of the best Batman animated feature created to this day. With Jensen Ackles from the hit TV show Supernatural taking on the role of Jason Todd aka the Red Hood, they really couldn't find anyone better for the job. With the release of the Batman Vs Superman this last spring, which made a clear point to show the destroyed Robin costume- it makes me wonder if soon we will be seeing Jason in the DC cinematic universe sometime in the future.


3: Captain America vs Iron Man in Civil War

Captain America and Iron Man are basically opposites when it comes to nearly anything. So when in both the comics and the movie Stark signs the Accords, they obviously clash. The overall battle of the two was probably one of the greatest things to happen in 2016 on the big screen, though the comic series and movie ended on two completely different notes.


2: We finally see Deadpool in action

Nothing else really needs to be said.


1: Negan's Victim

One of the most devastating moments for fans of The Walking Dead was by far watching Abraham and Glenn being brutally murdered by Negan in the season premier at the end of October. Though they changed it so Glenn wasn't the only victim of Negan's attack, it was still a perfect rendition of the comic book.

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.
