As we get closer to the release of the biggest event in Marvel Studios history, we’re finally starting to get a better picture of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in Avengers: Endgame. A new official photograph released for a promotion by Orville Redenbacher gives us our best look yet at the new costumes for the Avengers, showing some the new looks for Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, and more. Take a look in the image below. This new image comes hot off the heels of the official synopsis for Avengers: Endgame being released, teasing the conflict the heroes will face in their attempt to undo the damage wrought by Thanos: “After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos’ actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.” While there’s a severe lack of firepower on the heroes’ side after the events of Avengers: Infinity War, but they’ll be getting some back up from Carol Danvers after her debut in Captain Marvel. But a character as powerful as her prevents some challenges, as directors Joe and Anthony Russo recently revealed during an interview with CinemaBlend. “It’s always a concern of ours about overpowering characters, because the reason that people relate to these characters is their humanity, and that they’re flawed,” said Joe. “And the reason we love working so much with Captain America was that he was limited, and his heart was his superpower, you know? So we’re all acutely aware of the dangers of having an overly powerful character. we like sensitive storytelling, so… we found a thoughtful way through it.” The directors spoke about how they looked at this challenge as an opportunity. “That’s what kind of fires us up, I think, on a storytelling level, to be honest with you,” said Anthony. “Because when you do have powerful characters, you have to work that much harder to find their vulnerabilities and complexities. And Joe was mentioning on a storytelling level… and keep the stakes high! “Because that’s where those characters are vulnerable. And actually, that makes for great drama, and you run in that direction. As storytellers, that’s been one of the most fun things we’ve had working with these characters is figuring out ways into them where they are vulnerable and they aren’t all powerful.”
Boo The Pomeranian — once dubbed “World’s Cutest Dog” — has died. Boo’s owner posted the news Friday night, saying, “With deepest sadness I wanted to share that Boo passed away in his sleep early this morning and has left us to join his best friend, Buddy.” Boo was a fixture on social media … mixing it up with celebs, attending meet and greets with fans and gaining more than 16 millions fans on Facebook. Boo’s brother Buddy died in 2017. In Friday’s post, Boo’s owner said, “Shortly after Buddy died, Boo showed signs of heart issues. We think his heart literally broke when Buddy left us. He hung on and gave us over a year. But it looks like it was his time, and I’m sure it was a most joyous moment for them when they saw each other in heaven.”

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit museum that hosted Aretha Franklin’s public visitations after her death is again holding space for her — this time with an exhibit featuring photographs, videos and the red shoes she wore at the first funeral viewing that drew global attention. Billed as a “tribute to the Queen of Soul,” ″THINK” opens to the public Tuesday at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and runs until Jan. 21, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The show is a prelude what the museum envisions is a larger, long-term exhibit that would debut late next year or in early 2020. And both could be a proving ground for a permanent museum honoring Franklin and her family. “My aunt used to always talk about having a Franklin family museum,” Franklin’s niece, Sabrina Owens, told The Associated Press. “That’s not on the immediate horizon, but I thought this would be a good start to it.” The first show aims to capture and celebrate Franklin’s life in an intimate space that’s designed to change and offer surprises over time — much like its subject did. “This mirrors the way she was — keep on adding things to a collection, giving people something different to look forward to — just goes along with who she was as a person,” Owens said. “She just always wanted to change, keep herself relevant.” In addition to the candy-apple red shoes, the exhibit includes a replica of the matching red dress she wore at the visitation. It also features video from various performances and appearances. Visitors are greeted by a large video monitor with three clips playing on a loop, including her scene-stealing turn singing “Think” in the film “The Blues Brothers.” The images and artifacts span her life — among them a photo of her birth home in Memphis, Tennessee, a framed copy of the first record she cut in her longtime home of Detroit and a close-up shot of her singing “My Country ’Tis of Thee” at President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration. It also includes images captured by The Associated Press during her visitations, funeral, and interment. Museum officials say the cultural landmark takes great pride in hosting the exhibit, as well as maintaining a connection with Franklin, who died Aug. 16 at 76. The museum says roughly 31,000 people came through to see her during the Aug. 29-30 visitation period. Given how recently she died, museum officials say it was important to capture and present some of those elements “of residual grief and love” for the inaugural exhibit. “We’re trying to continue from the viewing the emotional experience we witnessed — see the emotional connection people had with the Queen and allow people to feel that,” said George Hamilton, the Wright’s interim CEO. The feelings came rushing back to Gloria Easley, 68, who came from Chicago on Friday with her sister. The women thought the exhibit had already opened to the public, but Hamilton welcomed them nonetheless. “When I came in and walked through the door, I was a bit taken aback,” said Easley, who said she spoke by phone on numerous occasions with Franklin’s late father, the Rev. C.L. Franklin, and met the singer at gospel trailblazer Mahalia Jackson’s 1972 funeral in Chicago. “I got a little emotional, having flashbacks listening to her voice.” Easley, who first “fell in love” with the young Franklin’s voice on radio broadcasts of her father’s services, told Hamilton that the exhibit hits the right notes. “You’re doing it in the right way and for the right reasons,” she told him. For the current and planned future exhibit, the museum is working with the Franklin family on creating something that encompasses her life and its impact. “Aretha was obviously important to the world and important to Detroit,” said museum board member Kelly Major Green. “We want to be able to express that appropriate and commensurate with the legacy that it is.” Franklin’s niece believes it’s a great way to start sharing that legacy. She adds that the exhibits and the public’s response to them ca...
Any NBA player’s dream is to be sponsored by Nike. Nike has 11 of the 15 highest paid endorsement deals in sports, including contracts with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, etc. LeBron just signed a lifetime contract that is worth upwards of $1 billion. Stephen Curry, on the other hand, refuses to work with Nike and his reason why will blow your mind… Signing Curry should’ve been the easiest thing in the world. He had many ties to Nike even before he played in the NBA. His godfather, Greg Brink, worked for Nike. Curry also wore Nikes growing up and throughout his entire college career at Davidson. When he was drafted 7th overall by the Golden State Warriors, no one doubted that he was going to sign with Nike… And that’s exactly what happened. Nike signed him to a 4-year deal that lasted up until 2013. In 2013, when Curry scored a career-high 54 points in Madison Square Garden, he wore Nike Zoom Hyperfuses. He saves that pair of sneakers to this day at his house to remember just how far his career has gone. It was his breakout year, setting the single-season record for 3-pointers made in the process. Of course, Nike had to re-sign him.. right? Following the end of his Nike contract in 2013, he was free to hear pitches from other companies, but Nike still owned the rights to match any deal that was made to him. Nike set up a meeting with Curry and his father, former NBA player, Dell Curry, at the Oakland Marriott, the same building where the Warriors practiced. Steph said it was a bit awkward hearing a pitch from a company you’re already signed to, especially since you’re familiar with some of the people in the room. The way that Nike is structured is they have tiers of athletes. The top tiered athletes had preferential treatment, which included the likes of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Once the meeting began, it was crystal clear to both Steph and his father that they weren’t a top priority to Nike and weren’t even close to being considered in the top tier of the company… The entire presentation by Nike was poorly planned and made Curry appear as an afterthought to other big-name athletes. According to Curry’s father, NBA alumni Dell Curry, the first sign of disrespect was when the Nike representative giving the presentation mispronounced Stephen’s first name, calling him Steph-On instead of Steph-En. And the worst part was, NO ONE else in the room representing Nike corrected him. But that wasn’t what turned Curry away from Nike forever, it was something much, much worse… As the meeting progressed, it became clear that Nike didn’t value Curry as much as others. They awarded youth development camps to Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis instead of Stephen Curry. Irving was drafted in 2011 and Davis in 2012, 2 and 3 years after Curry respectively. The ability to help young players meant a lot to Curry, who could see himself in some of the players that attended those camps. He attended Chris Paul’s camp when he was younger and wanted to give back to kids who were in his position. But that wasn’t going to happen with Nike… It’s possible that Nike simply did not have enough room for Curry, given that Irving plays the same position and had a certain swagger and cool image that Curry might have lacked at the time. Whatever the reason, nothing should’ve excused Nike for the next mistake they made during their re-signing presentation to Stephen Curry. It could possibly go down as the biggest blunder in sports marketing history just by the sheer lack of disrespect it took to make the mistake.. brace yourself for it… During the presentation, one of the Powerpoint slides had Kevin Durant’s name on it. The slide was literally the same slide used for a presentation to Kevin Durant and they forgot to change the name to Stephen Curry. This was the ultimate sign of disrespect. Curry and his father stopped paying attention after that. Nike, even after the horrendous mistake, still had the audacit...

Viewer Discretion Advised One aspect of Artificial intelligence isn’t taken seriously. Today, media pieces such as video games and cartoons usually depict the world we live in. Animated series predicting real-life events years in advance isn’t an uncommon phenomenon. Some believe these things to be coincidental or ironic. Many claim their express reluctance or incapability to associated in “childish things”. Light-hearted partaking’s invoke heart hearted responses at times. Of course, some adults put childlike things behind them after some time. Though, teenagers and adolescents alike retain some youthful characteristics concerning “inward” things. In continuation: cartoons, video games or anything concerning animation, ADULTS are the creators thereof. Therefore, these adults conceptualize and dissect ideas and themes with younger viewers in mind. However, some children are more perceptive. Older individuals can also become knowledgeable concerning learning through youthful entertainment. Albeit, those involved in the information technology fields may take an interest. Those involved with Design, production, scripting, developing or anything technical collectively craft complex puzzles and graphic illustrations that intrigue our psyche. By applying strategy to video games, a younger technical or average individual could come to understand what they couldn’t conventionally. People don’t understand every scripted line. Some find themselves not realizing the dirty jokes and subliminal sayings that animations utter until quite some time, if at all. Viewers of media broadcast and public airings of all sorts: should use childish reasoning as interpretation. In a sense, this is already done. When speaking about faith or childlike belief, most adults immediately become uneasy. The title “wishful thinking” is used to stereotype certain believers. A child’s perspective is disregarded on account of anxiousness or the unrealistic views of a willing and open-minded interpretation, usually by the self-imposed opposition. Dog Duo The dual Watchdogs games are in anticipation of becoming a Trilogy. The first introduction of Watchdogs was rather monotonous, offering little to no substance concerning an interactive experience through the eyes of a “hacker”. It only introduced players to another way of creatively creating mayhem and gore, using a night rider derived character nonetheless. The revamped sequel offered a wider range of strategically analytical gameplay. Watchdogs 2 was everything we hoped the inaugural would be. Gameplay evolved a step above the previous versions. Also, the venue receives a relocation. The setting is moved from the cold dark streets of NYC to the sunny scenery of Northern California. Although the location changes, waves of traffic concerning the technology, data, and the populace respectively remain intact. A new group holds authority over “DeadSec” operations. Deadsec is composed of numerous skilled hackers: acting as “crusaders”. They act as “Watchmen”, fighting against “the system” for the benighted and the uninformed. One named Marcus Holloway serves as the new main character of the game. In addition, he acts as leader and lead-field worker of DeadSec. Marcus takes player 1, and friends (if applicable) through the invisible cyber world around us. The complexity and depth of technology become realized through the game’s storyline. Everything “conspiracy theorist” warning concerning Privacy comes to an unnerving realization. Now can you recall any error message on any of your devices?
