Guys, she's here! The new Captain Marvel trailer has finally dropped and people are loving it. If you're not a Marvel fan, you may not understand why this is so important, so we'll explain. Let's just say this movie sets up a serious smackdown for Thanos in the next Avengers film.

Captain Marvel, or Carol Danvers, is a United States Air Force officer who eventually ends up with her DNA fused with that of a powerful alien. We won't tell you how, because spoilers. The fusion gives her incredible strength, the ability to fly, pre-cognition, and a few more handy little upgrades. Historically, Captain Marvel has been one of the strongest and most progressive heroes, male or female, within the Marvel Universe. At the end of Avengers: Infinity War, during the end credits, Nick Fury reached out to Captain Marvel for help.

Her powers and her hybrid DNA may be what turn the tide against Thanos' powers, but first we have to introduce her and for that we get a whole movie. The trailer is set squarely in the '90s, which we can tell because there's a Blockbuster Video and Nick Fury still has both eyes. Also we're pretty sure there's a nod to Top Gun with one or two of the scenes. Carol, played by Brie Larson (you might know her from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), already has her powers but doesn't seem to know how to use them, what they are, or who she is.

The trailer doesn't tell us much except that Nick and Carol are trying to figure things out, that aliens are involved, an old lady gets punched in the face, and Carol's powers are EPIC.

Check it out.


Twitter is in love and they're not afraid to show it.










Mark your calendars, folks. In 2019 we'll finally find out why that old lady got decked in the face!

We can all agree that there is something to appreciate about every country in the world, but there are arguably some countries that appear to have their ducks more consistently and happily in a row than others.

While it would be easy to let pride get in the way and continue to do things the same way, the more productive thing would be to learn from the countries who have figured out a better way to do certain things, whether it's healthcare, food banks, or other services.

People Reveal Which Universally-Loved Films They Absolutely Loathe

Every year, at the end of the Academy Awards, while the auditorium erupts in cheers upon the announcement of the Best Picture winner, as they are somewhat obligated to do, many viewers at home instead shake their heads and raise their eyebrows.

That's if they don't throw popcorn or worse at their TVs.

While those who did so when La La Land was announced as the winner in 2017 would end up getting their revenge in what remains one of the biggest blunders of Oscar history, others are still reeling at some past winners, which they believe were more worthy of a Razzie than an Oscar.

Taste being subjective, plenty of people still find themselves confused by some films which won countless awards, received across-the-board raves, and are considered classics or masterpieces, but they find to be utterly unbearable.

Often finding themselves in an unpopular minority and having to keep their opinion to themselves, similar to Seinfeild's Elaine Benes and her unique disdain for The English Patient.
