What It's Like Watching 'Infinity War' As A Non-Comic Girl

I mean the movies are fun, but I'm eternally confused.

What It's Like Watching 'Infinity War' As A Non-Comic Girl
Marvel Studios

Everyone loves a Marvel movie. But, it’s safe to say not everyone loves them equally. Here’s what it’s really like to watch Marvel’s "The Avengers: Infinity War" as a girl who isn’t exactly a comic book aficionado.

1. Did they really just kill Thor in the first five minutes?

No really, did they? Because, if so, I’ll just go ahead and see myself out.

2.Wait, is Tony Stark going to be a dad?

The answer so far is no, but OMG Avenger babies are just what this franchise has been missing, bring me the Iron Man onesie LET’S GO!! I will now think of the adorable prospect of Avenger babies for the next 15 minutes of this movie.

3. Who is that?

Sorry, I haven’t seen the movies for all these obscure characters. Why is Benedict Cumberbatch doing an American accent, and why is that Asian man rambling about his fancy necklace?

4. Wow, the Hulk has really mastered his impression of my dad.

*yells violently* NOOO! (just kidding love you Dad!)

5. Thor’s alive!

I knew it, I knew he wouldn’t abandon me in this dark, cruel world like that. I can watch the rest of the movie guys, false alarm.

6. Why do I personally relate to Drax’s reaction to seeing Thor?

“This is not just a dude. You’re just a dude. This is a man. A handsome, muscular man.” Like, same @most guys at my school.

7. Where’s Captain America?

He has about 15 minutes to appear on this screen or I will be making an abrupt exit. Thor can only do so much on his own.

8. Wait who is THAT?

That man has a glowing rock on his forehead, and I am so confused. Wasn’t he red last time? And single? And made of plastic??

9. Oh heck yes, Captain!

Steve Rodgers just single-handedly improved my life. Also, Scarlett Johansen is blonde, that’s new.

10. This guy and his green girlfriend are actually really sweet!

Aw, he promised to kill her if her evil purple father ever tried to take her! It’s romantic in a sad, weird space movie kind of way. Do you think their kids would be her color or like a mix of their two skin tones? Like maybe a nice pastel green!

11. This purple guy is a real jerk.

Now that we’re a solid 90 minutes into this movie, I think I finally understand his plan and wow SOMEONE is a real Debbie-downer!

12. Wow, Thor really is just not going to die in this one is he?

He just got incinerated and is now crispier than the chicken strips I had on the way here, but he’s still going strong. That’s my boy!!

13. Wait who is THAT?

I don’t even know who I don’t know anymore.

14. WAKANDA FOREVER!

The Black Panther seems like the type of man you would take home to mother. And then mother would try to steal him because wow that is an attractive man.

15. Excuse me, everyone, but those strange dogs seem to be kind of kicking your butts.

I thought we were supposed to win. I thought that was how these movies worked.

16. Thor with glowing blue eyes and lightning bolts is everything I didn’t know I needed.

I just…I’m at a loss…YES MA’AM!

17. I’m sorry did Thor just NOT save the day?

That’s not allowed! His magic hammer was supposed to fix everything! And if that didn’t work, what about his dashing smile and rugged good-looks? You’re telling me that counts for nothing?

18. I just spent three hours of my life in this dark room to watch these people lose.

I didn’t even know who half of them were, but that doesn’t make me any less mad.

19. Is my dad really going to make me sit through an hour of credits for a two minute clip at the end?

Yes, yes he is.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
