The trailer for Marvel's highly anticipated finale to the first three phases of the MCU has dropped today! As a result, there are a lot of things that were discovered about Avengers: Infinity War ! 1. The Soul Stone could be in Wakanda A major part of the new trailer shows many of the heroes protecting Wakanda from Thanos and the Black Order's army. Thanos wouldn't waste his time attacking a city that has no use to him, so why is he attacking Wakanda? Wakanda could be a hiding place for the last infinity stone, the Soul Stone. This theory is also supported by the Black Panther trailer when T'Challa is shown walking around some sort of spiritual realm. This could be possible with the Soul Stone. 2. Captain America gets his shield back After the events of Captain America: Civil War , Captain America leaves his shield behind after Tony tells him that he doesn't deserve to have the shield. Now that Steve is back and the world needs Captain America, ...

Once again, The Walking Dead completely drags out the cold opening. They are just beating a dead horse when they show Gregory in terms of flashbacks.  We already know what he did, why he did it, and why we hate him, so why waste that much time on a flashback? It doesn't help that his character is so unlikable and has no redeeming qualities. Once the episode started to get going, I had a great time! After waiting 4 episodes we finally get to see what Gabriel is up to and it is worth it. Gabriel was introduced way back in season 5 and since then has been a hit or miss character. I didn't think his character was all that interesting after being around him for 2 seasons, but this new episode proves he isn't the old Gabriel we know. We get a nice throwback to how far Gabriel has come since he was first introduced and his interactions with Negan were the best parts of the episode. These two characters are polar opposites and now they are stuck together and...

The Walking Dead aired 'Just Some Guy' last night and it was the fourth episode of season eight. 'Just Some Guy' focused on Ezekiel and his downfall. The episode starts off with a familiar scene. Ezekiel is once again making his "and yet I smile" motivational speech. However, the scene takes a dark turn as the audience goes from seeing the Kingdom army cheering and surrounding their king to the Kingdom army dead and piled on top of their king. This scene had emotional depth for Ezekiel but failed to deliver an emotional response towards the nameless army. The special effects crew did a great job with this scene and the episode as a whole. This episode had much better special effects than the previous episodes and I didn't see anything that made me feel disconnected from the show. It was interesting to see Ezekiel so broken. Ever since his first introduction, he has constantly put on a show for the good of his people. He never broke charact...

The Walking Dead aired 'Monsters' last night and it was the third episode of season eight. 'Monsters' was the first episode this season to disappoint me and cause a loss of interest. First off, the cold opening was extremely weak. It was choppy, disorganized, and edited awfully. I'm not sure what the producers were trying to do, but it didn't work. The opening consisted of several fades to black and confusing voiceovers for no apparent reason. I really thought something was wrong with my TV or my network. Audiences were also given more motivational speeches as if we don't know what the characters are fighting for. We already know the impact of the war and what is at stake, so do the characters in the show, so there is no need for constant reminders. This cold opening should have been left out or edited in a completely different way. It was not a good start to a mediocre episode.   After last week's cliffhanger, I was extremely excited to...
