Avengers: Endgame Review
By: Riley Endgame is an amazing and thrilling movie that hit the top of the box-office this year, it earned over 2.5 billion dollars in just 8 months. With a 94% on rotten tomatoes Endgame became the highest rated movie of 2019 by a landslide. Endgame is the 4th and final Avengers movie and it exceeded expectations from Marvel fans around the world. Avengers: Infinity War was the first of the 2-part story… kinda Marvel Avengers was the first Avengers movie then came Avengers: Age of Ultron followed by: Infinity War and Endgame, of which the final 2 started their own story about the mad Titan, Thanos. Thanos is a large purple skinned alien-man whose' overall goal is to wipe out half of the Universe’s population so that the other half may thrive with the resources saved from the first half disappearing. The Avengers goal is to stop Thanos from killing millions of innocent people. But Thanos isn’t strong enough to destroy half of the Universe alone so he seeks out The Infinity Stones, Those are powerful stones that each have a different role in keeping the Universe alive. There are 6 different stones. One controls Time, another controls Space, another controls Souls, The fourth controls Reality, another controls Mind, and the last controls Power. If Thanos gets his hands on all 6, all he needs to do is snap his fingers and half the Universe turns to dust. By the end of Infinity War he has gotten all of them and snapped. With half the Universe gone forever, the remaining Avengers give up. 5 years later Ant-Man returns from The Quantum Realm. The Quantum Realm is a world that only people incredibly small can get to. At the end of Ant-Man and The Wasp, Scott Lang (Ant-Man’s real name) is in the quantum realm, meanwhile Thanos has just snapped and all 3 of the people who were supposed to pull him out of The Quantum Realm (The Wasp, Hope Pym, and Hank Pym) have been turned to dust, leaving Scott stuck in The Quantum Realm until someone gets him out. When a mouse runs across the control panel for the portal to The Quantum Realm Ant-Man is zapped out of The Realm and is now 5 years in the future from the point he entered through the portal. Realizing it’s been 5 years he looks around for his daughter who thought he had been wiped from the Universe after the snap. Ant-Man is determined to save everyone who disappeared after Thanos’s snap. He finds the last Avengers and tries to convince them to defeat Thanos. A few of the Avengers agree and then their off to try to get the rest to join them, with a lot of convincing they get every Avenger left to help them… except Iron Man whose started a family and is happy with life, Ant-Man shares that it was 5 years in the real world but in The Quantum Realm it felt like 5 hours meaning that time travel is possible, again.. Iron Man is opposed to the idea. So the Avengers leave. Later that night Tony Stark (Iron Man’s real name) is messing around in his lab/basement and accidentally creates a time machine, realizing that Peter Parker (Spider-Man’s real name) who is like a son to Tony can be saved (he got snapped.) In the morning Tony drives to the Avengers lab where they have been testing time travel. Tony tells them that he figured out time travel and their amazed, but they make a plan to stop Thanos. After a lot of thinking they decide that they will split up into teams: Black Widow and Hawkeye will get The Soul Stone, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Captain America and Hulk will get The Mind Stone, The Space Stone, and The Time Stone, War Machine and Nebula will get The Power Stone and Thor and Rocket Racoon will get The Reality Stone. While Nebula and War Machine are getting The Power Stone, Thanos from the past finds them and takes Nebula hostage in his ship while the past Nebula (who’s evil) pretends to be the normal Nebula and go to the present day with War Machine (who doesn’t know that it’s the wrong Nebula.) When they get back everyone else is there with them and they make a replica of The Infinity Gauntlet (the glove Thanos used to hold The Infinity Stones because if he touched them he’d die) and they put The Infinity Stones into the replica to try to snap their fingers in order to reverse the effects of the original snap that destroyed half the universe, but not just anybody can snap with the glove on, they need someone strong enough to survive the power of the stones when they snap. Hulk volunteers and they decide that he will snap. Eventually he snaps but as soon as he does the Thanos from the past comes to the present time because the fake Nebula messed with the time machine and got him there to destroy the universe. Thanos attacks their lab and the whole building collapses, when their under the rubble Thanos decides that he’s just going to wait for the Avengers to come to him, after a little while Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man are out of the rubble and watching Thanos from afar. They decide to go after him so they run up to him and try to kill him. The 3 Avengers are losing terribly and Captain America uses his shield to try to block one of Thanos’s attacks but Thanos breaks through his shield and Captain America is left defenceless. Thanos punches Captain America and he goes flying, with nothing to fight with Captain America puts out his hand and Mjolnir (Thor’s hammer that nobody can lift unless their “Worthy”) comes flying to him and he catches it. Thor and Iron Man are surprised but they continue the fight, Thor uses StormBreaker (His new battle axe) Captain America uses Mjolnir and Iron Man uses his suit. They fight for a while but by the end Thanos is about to win… Until portals open and hundreds of thousands of heros and the Wakandan Soldiers that got snapped all come through the portals. They thought they were going to defeat Thanos but then he summoned his own army to fight back. A huge fight scene broke out and by the end of it Thanos had The Infinity Gauntlet and the stones were in it, he said his signature line: “I am inevitable” and he snapped! But nothing happened…. he was confused.. He looked at Iron Man and he was wearing the replica of The Gauntlet that he made and all The Stones were in it. Iron Man said HIS signature line: “I am Iron Man” and snapped his fingers, when he did Thanos and his entire army turned to dust, but Iron Man was left Extremely injured from the power of The Stones and he died… a few days later there was a funeral thrown for him and the movie ended.

Shazam Review
By: Riley and Ziggy Shazam is an okay movie about a 14 year old boy named Billy Batson who is summoned by an old wizard and is given powers. After he gains those powers he slowly but surely discoveres that all he needs to do to activate his powers is say Shazam. Then he gets turned into a 40- year-old dude with the abilities of flight, speed, invincibility, strength, and the power to conduct electricity. At the end it comes down to sharing the power of Shazam with his foster siblings to try to stop the bad guy Dr. Thaddeus Sivana. Adventure Time is a fun and exciting show that always has a lot going on. The show takes place in the land of “Oo” which is split into 4 kingdoms. One kingdom is called The Candy Kingdom, another is called The Ice Kingdom, another is called The Fire Kingdom, and the last is called The Slime Kingdom. The 2 main protagonists are Finn The Human and Jake The Dog. Finn is a normal human who’s quest is to become a hero, and Jake is a magical yellow / orange dog who can stretch almost infinitely.
Finn and Jake adventure through the land of “Oo” defeating bad guys and going on adventures.Their nemesis is the Ice King, he is the ruler of the ice kingdom. Ice King has an army of penguins the main penguin is named Gunter, and he is Ice King’s top companion. Ice King is known for capturing the princesses of the other kingdoms, so Finn and Jake have to rescue them. The ruler of the Candy Kingdom’s name is Princess Bubblegum, she is pretty much the main princess for most of the show. The ruler of the Fire kingdom’s name is Flame Princess, she has a very original name. Her father is evil and wants her to destroy Finn and Jake. The ruler of the slime kingdom’s name is Slime Queen, also a very original name. Her kingdom is more of an underground kingdom. She is in love with Finn and whenever Finn saves her from Ice King she asks him to marry her Finn doesn’t like her very much and always tries to let her down easy. Finn and Jake live in a tree house, with A LOT of gold in the bottom floor from their missions. Adventure Time was a really great and loveable show Sadly is ended on the 3rd of September 2018.
