infinity war – that lemon life

Far From Home

Hola everyone.

Yes. The Marvel fans among you read correctly. The day has come. The day I finally set another part of my Marvel fangirl free. And how I’ve been waiting for this, oh yes. So, today guys, I’d like to discuss with you the one and only Spiderman: Far From Home trailer that not only blew me away but also confused the hell out of me. So many questions, so many possibilities. Let’s go.

Okay, so first of all, here’s my little warning to all of you who haven’t seen Infinity War so far (what are you even doing with your life?): this post will contain A HUGE FREAKING MASS OF SPOILERS so please continue reading at your own risk. Also, from this point on, I’m kind of presuming that you’ve all seen the movie and are kind of familiar with all the possible theories for Endgame and how our heroes will fight the dust (ba dum tsss). Mostly because going through all of them would take way too long, an eternity even, so if you aren’t part of the matter, here’s a link to my favorite post-Infinity War video by New Rockstars, that goes through all the possible ideas for Endgame – click me.

And now that’s off the table, let’s get to the most important part – the trailer. Here it is, for all of you who haven’t seen it or just want to watch it again, which I would totally understand, I watched it three times in a row:

Like I said, the trailer is damn good, let’s make that clear, but also wHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????? Why is nobody sad? Shouldn’t they all be super depressed because half of the population recently vanished due to Thanos’ snap? Or because most of our heroes died? And why is everyone alive? Peter? Fury? And why is Happy happily flirting with Aunt May? Shouldn’t he be super sad because his boss, the man, the legend, the one and only Tony Stark aka Iron Man is either gone or still floating around in space? Which of course will never happen, because Tony is sacred and must be protected at all costs. Also, if they kill him, I’m gonna cry and sue someone. I don’t know who, but I’ll find someone. But besides that, there just has to be something wrong here. Can you smell it, guys? The secrecy and confusion in the air? I can. It’s lingering around like a perfume.

Okay, so, Spidey is alive. As we know from Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal, the movie is set literally a few minutes after the story of Endgame comes to an end and according to Feige “it was purposefully done like this. Like how the events of Captain America: Civil War impacted Peter as he was dropped off by Tony and expected to go back to continue his sophomore year, how the hell are the events of Infinity War and Endgame going to affect him as he, yes, goes back to his junior year?” But as we can see in the trailer, Peter is just doing fine, actually he’s acting like nothing ever happened. I mean, yes, he refuses to take his original Spidey-suite with him on his trip to Europe, so he can focus more on flirting with MJ (so cute), but that doesn’t mean much, even less when we see that May packs it for him at the end. Which again brings me to another question – where is the Iron-Spider suite? It would’ve certainly replaced the OG suite by now, I’m sure. So, again, what the hell is going on?

Since the trailer has been released, I’ve buried my head in YouTube and the mass of breakdown and theory videos for Endgame and Far From Home. And so far, I’ve heard enough different theories to fill a few posts with them, but for me, there are only two real possibilities:

Either the movie is set in another reality, like we’ve already seen in the new Spiderman: Into The Spider-Verse movie (which was mind-blowing, by the way), or the Avengers can go back in time in Endgame and make it so that Infinity War never happened, which would then explain why the Iron Spider suite isn’t in the trailer and why everyone is still alive and definitely not completely traumatized.

Of course, the second theory would also mean, that by releasing the Spiderman trailer, Marvel and Sony literally spoiled their own biggest cinematic event to date, which is Endgame, obviously. Which kind of annoys the frick out of me. I mean, I knew that there would be another Spidey movie and another Black Panther and another Guardians movie and so on, but still. As much as it hurt, I loved the ending of Infinity War. I loved how dark it had all suddenly become and how you could feel the hopelessness in the room. I loved not knowing who would actually survive and why and how. I loved the suspense. But now it’s just out there, the definite sign that Endgame will have the happiest ending ever and that everyone will survive and hippy-dippy, oh how aren’t we all happy.

And I don’t want that. I refuse to except it, to be honest. That’s why I’m currently hoping for the different reality explanation to be a thing. Or that Feige and Pascal simply lied to all our faces and that Far From Home is actually set right before Infinity War, which, honestly, would make the most sense, but oh well. Right now, we’ve got less than 96 days to wait until Endgame finally comes into the cinema and all of our questions will finally be answered. I honestly can’t wait. I’m not even exaggerating, I seriously have a countdown on my phone. Sorry, not sorry. That’s true dedication right there.

So yeah, there you go, my fellow Marvel fans and fellow readers. Those are all of my thoughts about the Spiderman: Far From Home trailer and what it could mean for Endgame and our favorite superheroes in a nutshell. As I said, I deeply love the trailer, but my head is literally stuffed with so many questions. And I honestly can’t wait for them to be finally answered. But what about you? Do you agree with my ideas or do you have other theories? Please don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts down below, I’d be so happy to read them all. And yeah, I hope you enjoyed this little post and that you’re all doing well. And, as always, I wish you all a nice week and thanks for reading. x

News News News

Hola everyone.

I hope you’re all doing good. Holy moly, I have so much to tell you, I don’t even know where to start. So, I think I’ll just start with the most exciting part – the fact that Avengers Infinity War is finally out and that I already saw it the day it came out and that it freaking blew me away.

So yeah, as you can see, it indeed was an experience. I just don’t know whether I enjoyed or just endured it. First of all I have to say that I waited for this movie to come out for months, seriously. Me and my friend hyped each other up every single day just to make the wait a little less painful. And then the day finally came. We had already bought the tickets one month prior to the screening and of course, it was completely sold out. We chose to watch it in IMAX as this is literally the format the movie was made for. And that’s true guys. I’ve never seen such a phenomenal quality. I mean, the movie mostly plays in space, somewhere on crazy, fascinating planets and there’s literally a racoon, Rocket, and everything still looks so real. This movie really is the peak of the Marvel movies, no joke. It doesn’t get more epic than that. At least when it comes to the movie itself.

Looking at the story and what happens throughout the movie, I’m not quite sure if I enjoyed those two and a half hours. It was more like watching your fan world fall apart. But I’ll of course keep all the information for me, Thanos demands my silence. But I can just tell you, that the movie seriously is something else. And, another unpopular opinion, I think that Thanos is a good villain. The best, to be honest. Because he doesn’t act out of pure joy or fun. He really thinks that what he’s doing is for a greater good and he truly believes in it. And I mean, he’s pretty much a total idiot, but at some point during the movie I really understood him. I understood the meaning of his doing. I mean, I don’t like what he’s doing or has done, but I get it. And that’s all I’m going to say for now. But please guys, go and watch this movie. It’s freaking fantastic and I love this whole universe with all of my heart.

Okay, so, that was that part. It probably won’t surprise you that I watched another movie in the last week, besides Infinity War. Another amazing movie called Stronger. Here’s a little description I found on Rotten Tomatoes:

STRONGER is the inspirational and heroic true-life story of Jeff Bauman (Jake Gyllenhaal), the man whose iconic photo from the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing captured the hearts of the world.

So yeah, that pretty much says it all. For me, the movie was a whole different experience. It made me sad and happy and angry all at once. And I’m not sure whether that was intended or not, but the movie really made me think. About society and the USA. I mean, this guy lost both of his legs and the world around him acts like he’s a hero and nobody sees behind that and notices that Jeff is falling into a dark hole, right into depression. At some point he doesn’t even care if he dies and all his mum and the rest of his family is interested in is when he’s finally going to do that interview with Oprah. I mean, how superficial and stupid is that? But that’s society and it’s so so sad. I can really just recommend this one to any of you who are interested in movies like this one. It’s really really good. And Jake Gyllenhaal is freaking fantastic, please finally give this guy his Oscar.

And last but not least, here are the most important music news of the past week. Nothing But Thieves have released two new cover songs to celebrate record store day. And holy moly guys, I was literally speechless when I listened to them, especially their cover of Crazy be Cee Lo Green. You all probably know the original version, it’s a classic, but I have to say, I honestly can’t stand it. I really can’t. But it seems like NBT made it their mission to change that. And god, I would’ve never thought that it was possible, but they seriously made it possible. I couldn’t believe my ears when I first listened to it. It’s basically one of the most epic songs I’ve ever heard and I want it to be the end credits song for Infinity War. God, that would be so amazing. And their other cover is freaking awesome too. I just love Conor’s voice so much. What an amazing band, wow. But hey, hear for yourself.

So yeah guys, there you are. Those are all the news I have for you, at least the most important ones. I hope you enjoy them. Oh, and please don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts and comments down below. And yeah, again, I hope you’re all doing good and wish you an amazing week. And, as always, thanks for reading. x

I have no words

Hola everyone.

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

He’s coming

Hola everyone.

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
