And we’re back with a new “New Music Friday“. I hope you’re all doing good and had an awesome week. Just a little update from my side: this week has been pretty amazing and god, guys, the sun is finally out and it’s just so nice. Walking around in Vienna at night has been my favorite thing to do lately, it’s so warm. I’m also already looking forward to the weekend and I hope you are too and that this little selection of songs can contribute to your weekend playlist. Please enjoy.

Thought I Told You – The Academic
If you’ve been following some of my latest posts, then you know that this is the band I just saw live last week (here’s the post). And I mean, I loved their music before, but since then I’ve learned to really appreciate the fact that I got to see them live. They’re really awesome.
.

Standing On Ghosts – Two Door Cinema Club
Well, well, well. Who would’ve known that TDCC was hiding such a bop from me all these years. You guys know my relationship with this band and I just adore their music, especially their older songs, and this is one of those. They just recently released it again to celebrate the anniversary of their very first album. And thank god they did, because this here is freaking amazing.
.
.
Moving On – Sarah and the Sundays
This is one of the songs, that Spotify recommended to me and I just adore it. I mean, it perfectly fits this time of the year, when everything starts to bloom and become alive again. The perfect song to listen to while lying in the sun, maybe reading a good book or chatting with a friend.
.
.
Fresh Air – FLOWVERS
The same goes for this sun. Such a fantastic spring/sommer song. I don’t know how the algorithms of Spotify work, but hell, whatever they are doing, they are doing it bloody well. They give me exactly what I need.
.
.
Sad Boys / All I Wanna Do – TRASH
This here is one of those bands where I love listening to their music but never really go into my fangirl mode. But that doesn’t change the fact that their music is freaking amazing. And again, thanks to Spotify for recommending this and pretty much all their other songs to me, I owe you one.
.

Ride Or Die – The Knocks ft. Foster The People
Guys, if you want to listen to the spring/summer song of the moment, then you just reached the right place. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty convinced that it’s this one. I’ve seriously heard this song in pretty much every single store I’ve been to the past week. It’s literally everywhere. And the thing is, it’s actually so awesome. I mean, I love Foster The People and their sound is perfect for this song. It just fits.
.

Cos Love (If You Miss It) – Tom Rosenthal
I’m sorry guys, but it wouldn’t be a music playlist without Tom being a part of it. I just love his music so much. Tom, can you please go on tour, like, right now? Or at least when I’ve moved to the UK? Please. He’s literally my number one on my list of musicians I want to see live. I need to hear this song live. I need to hear all of his songs live. According to him, this song right here is the best song he’s ever written and I mean, I can’t deny that. It’s just so cute and romantic and sad. I love it.
.
.
So yeah guys, there you go. Those are the songs I’ve been loving the past days and weeks. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Oh and please don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts down below. And, as always, I wish you all an amazing weekend and thanks for reading. x
Beware, the title is no understatement. I really have no words. I’m speechless because of the new Infinity War trailer that came out today. I’ve watched it a few times now and I still can’t fully process it. I would have never thought that a movie would once get me this hyped up. I think I’ve never before wanted to see a movie as bad at this one. The wait is nearly killing me.
.
But on the other hand, I am not sure if I really want to experience everything that is waiting for me in that movie. After watching this new trailer, my panic and worries about Tony / Iron Man have increased by a thousand. But before I ramble on and on, let’s take a look at the trailer and once again summarize everything we know so far. Here are the two trailers for you to check out:
.
.
.
First of all, let me just say that the trailer is freaking epic and that Marvel is literally the biggest movie maker studio ever. They are the kings and queens of the cinematic world. They are the leaders. And don’t even try denying it. Just take a look at those two trailers and tell the truth – they are freaking amazing and this movie is going to break all the records out there. It’s going to be a movie nobody will ever be able to forget again, it’s going to be history. Ten years and eighteen movies and so many stories and so many characters all packed in one big movie. I. Can’t. Wait.
.
Okay, this had to be said. Let’s now really talk about the trailer. I have to say that in my opinion this trailer gives a little bit more information about that story of the movie. We see Thanos in a lot more scenes and Gamora, who essentially is his daughter, tells the world his plan about wiping out half of the universe with the help of the infinity stones – nice plan by the way. And then the trailer just goes into full action mode and we already get to see different scenes of fights and our heroes meeting each other and getting together. I think what’s most important here is that after watching both trailers, you can roughly tell which characters are going to fight together and at which places and when.
.
Like I already mentioned in my post/review of the first trailer (click here), I think that the movie will start off right at the end of the last Thor movie, where Thor kind of crashes into Thanos spaceship, which he will certainly fight and certainly fail. And that’s how he will meet the Guardians, as he will crash into their spaceship after meeting Thanos. Hulk, on the other hand, will fall straight down to earth and will coincidentally land in Doctor Strange’s headquarters in New York. As we all know, our beloved Spidey and my hero Tony both live in the same city, so Tony will kind of meet Hulk and Strange at the headquarters. And this brings us to the scene in NY with Spiderman climbing out of his school bus and seeing a spaceship in the sky, which of course belongs to Thanos, as he now knows where all the infinity stones are – and as Tony states in the trailer, they are with our heroes, so Thanos will fight to get them all, one after another.
.
I think, this strange-looking, round spaceship, that lands in New York, will somehow then move back to another planet, together with Tony, Spidey and as we now know from the trailer, Strange and the Guardians. And this is also the part of the movie that I’m scared of the most. Because you can see Iron Man and Spidey fighting Thanos and then we see Iron Man missing most of his suit, looking pretty devastated, and that’s the last scene we see Spidey in. Which reinforces my theory of Peter dying at this part and Doctor Strange bringing him back to life with the time stone later on (the whole bringing people back to life part is essential in the comics). And speaking of Strange, it looks like Thanos will also get his hands on him, which is also a completely new information to me. Let’s just say I was pretty shocked.
.
And the second biggest part of the movie then has to be the huge fight in Wakanda – where, as we now know, the soul stone is hidden, the last freaking stone. Oh my god guys, I nearly lost it at that part. I knew it was there, I freaking knew it. This is also why Thanos leads all of his forces and his armies to Wakanda, to find the last and most important, most powerful stone. And to find most of our heroes already waiting for him there – Cap, Bucky, the Black Panther and his badass crew, Iron Man in his big suit called the The Hulkbuster (which I hope he really is in), War Machine, Black Widow, The Falcon and so many more. Am I the only one already freaking out about this? Like all of them fighting together? Holy moly.
.
What happens after that is left for speculation, but I think they will keep the end for The Avengers 4. But I so goddamn hope that they won’t make an open end for Infinity War, because I might freak out completely then. Please don’t do this to us, Marvel. That’s like torture, no joke.
.
But I think if you know some backstories and just focus on all the different aspects of the trailers, some things do become clearer. Loki will indeed give the space stone to Thanos to safe his own life – which will probably mean the death of his brother Thor and himself too. Because let’s be honest, Thanos isn’t the guy to leave witnesses behind. I’m not sure what will happen to both Vision and Strange. It’s pretty much obvious that Thanos will get both the time and the mind stone, so I don’t know whether they will survive that or not.
.
And I seriously have no idea what will happen to Tony and Cap. I mean, both of their contracts will end after Avengers 4, Chris Evans wants to start working as a director and Robert Downey Jr. already said that he has some other movies planned (like Sherlock 3, which I’m seriously hoping will come true). So it’s pretty fixed that we won’t see them again as Iron Man and Captain America after Avengers 4. And yes, this is making me so damn sad… But let me just say one thing – if Marvel really kills Tony, I may or may not cry my eyes out and walk out of the cinema during the movie. I mean, I’ll of course get back in after one second, but it’s the thought here that’s important. I won’t be able to deal with Tony being killed. I was a wreck after Gwen died in the last Amazing Spiderman movie. But that was Gwen. And this is Iron Man. My Iron Man. My favorite hero. The hero that welcomed me into this whole Marvel cinematic universe. He’s the reason I started watching Marvel. I can’t loose him. They can’t just kill the one guy it all started with. That would be just cruel.
.
Besides that, I think we will get to know a lot more about Thanos, his backstory and so on, which I am also excited for – although I pretty much hate him for what he’s doing to my beloved heroes. And let’s be honest, the movie overall will be a crazy rollercoaster of fights, action scenes, funny jokes and a huge amount of emotions. I also just read an article that said that the whole movie was shot with IMAX cameras, which is like the highest quality you can get. Imagine what the whole movie is going to look like if just the two trainers look this good. I’ve already fixed the plan with my friend that we’re going to watch the movie the first day it’s out (April 26th) at our local IMAX cinema. It has to be IMAX. Everything else just isn’t good enough for this epic piece of a movie.
.
Well, I think this is everything I can say for now. When I watched the trailer for the first time today, I remember getting goosebumps literally everywhere. Like I said, I seriously have never been this excited for a movie. And I hope by sharing all of my theories and thoughts with you guys, I could also transfer some of this excitement to you. Also, please don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts down below, as I would really love to hear your opinions and theories. And until then I wish you all an amazing weekend and hope you’re all doing good. And, as always, thanks for reading. x
I know. Where the hell have I been? Honestly, I can’t even tell. I don’t really know why I just didn’t post anything the past week, somehow I just never found the right amount of time for it. I’m really sorry guys. But now I’m back and holy moly, I have so much to tell you guys, no joke.
.
First things first – the IELTS exam. To be honest, I think it went really really well. Especially the reading part was really easy for me and I’m already so damn excited to get the results this Friday. I hope I passed the 6.5 mark in every part, so I can start applying for the universities in London. Wish me luck guys. I’ll of course keep you updated.
.
Okay, and now the cinematic highlight of the past week – the trailer for Avengers – Infinity War. Oh my god guys, I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was for this trailer. I’ve been waiting for this for months and the day they told the world the trailer would come the next day, I was already at the edge. I remember counting down the hours and updating my Twitter search every few minutes in the hope of some news. And then, finally, there was it. God, was I excited. I mean, you guys know how much the MCU means to me. And as the last Captain America movie left me with quite some question marks and worries about the whole Avengers team, I was especially curious to see what my favorite heroes would be up to in the next movie. So, without further ado, here it is, the trailer for the cinematic highlight of the upcoming year:
.
Actually, I don’t even know where to start, there’s just too much to take in. Also, just to warn you guys, there are quite a lot of spoilers coming up, so please be aware of that. So, we all know that Thanos, the big, lilac guy, is on the hunt for the six Infinity Stones and is of course willing to kill anyone who tries to stop him from doing exactly that. We know that the movie will be playing in Wakanda, which we will get to know further in the upcoming Black Panther movie, in New York and somewhere in the galaxy. I think the movie will start off with Thor and Co. crashing into Thanos spaceship – which was hinted in the post-credit scene of Thor: Ragnarok. This of course won’t probably go well, so I guess that’s when Thor crashes into the spaceship of our beloved Guardians and Hulk into the headquarters of Doctor Strange in New York.
.
It can also be seen that Thanos is able to collect two Infinity Stones, the power stone, which we saw in the first Guardians movie, and the space stone, which is located in the tesseract, which Loki stole at the end of Thor: Ragnarok. In the trailer we can see him holding the tesseract and I’m guessing that he willingly hands over the stone to Thanos in order to save himself. I’m not quite sure whether this will truly save him or not, but we’ll see.
.
What especially shocked me was seeing Vision in his human form, which is like a completely new concept and a total surprise. That he and Wanda apparently are a couple now not so much, but that part really did surprise me. And then seeing him lying on the ground, someone trying to pull the stone out of his head. At that part it was kind of an obvious idea for me that he’d die, but I think that Vision will be one of the new Avengers, so killing him wouldn’t really work.
.
Oh and speaking about deaths – I think we really all have to buckle up for some cruel, shocking deaths that are coming up. And trust me, I’m probably more frightened than you are, especially as Robert Downey Jr.’s contract with Marvel is ending with the second part of Infinity War and, honestly, if they kill Tony, I might as well walk out of the cinema and cry for a week. Seriously, Marvel can’t do that to me. I would be completely devastated.
.
And apart from that I think that this movie will be a total rollercoaster. Because, as we all know, Doctor Strange has the time stone, so they can actually kill off whoever they want as long as they just have Strange to take them back. I’ll be totally done after watching that movie, I can already tell. But that doesn’t of course stop me from watching it the moment it is out here in my country, which is at the end of April 2018 to be exact.
.
But actually, I don’t think they’ll kill anyone “important” in the movie. I mean, they will probably “save” that for the second movie, after the Avengers have fought against Thanos altogether. As the MCU as we all know and love it will be over after this – but before you now get a heart attack, there will still be a MCU, just mostly with different and new characters -, I think they will come up with the whole team first to celebrate the past years and movies and stories.
.
Overall, I am so damn excited for Infinity War, I can’t even put it into words. Especially as I know that Marvel always comes up with the biggest surprises ever and I’m just so up for it. Can I please watch the movie next week? That would be amazing, thank you.
.
So guys, there you go. That’s one of the crazy things that happened last week, but I of course have so much more in store, so stay tuned. And please don’t forget to share your thoughts about the trailer. It is now the most-watched trailer with over 230 million clicks in 24 hours, so I guess some of you have probably already seen it themselves and I’m really curious about your thoughts and opinions. And until then I wish you all an amazing week. Oh and also a happy start of this years December. Christmas is literally just around the corner but so far I haven’t really been able to wrap my head around that, but I can already feel the christmassy feeling coming up. The snow helps. Oh, and, of course, as always, I hope you enjoyed this post and thanks for reading. x
