The reason why Infinity War was so successful is because it subverts expectations. We all expected our heros to win, but they didnt. In fact, half of them died.
This leads to a change in expectations for the next film, Endgame. We are all expecting characters to die. We are all preparing to say goodbye.
But what if thats what they want us to think?
Robert Downey Jr. said it himself: nobody is going to guess what's going to happen.
What's the most absurd expectation/prediction for Endgame?
Everybody lives.

‘The commitment and investment of fans to keep coming back, and keep being interested, keep being engaged, is what makes it worth it. It's the culmination of so many films. Different storylines... Different plots. And it is going to be epic!’ ~ Tom Hiddleston, 8th April 2018
Future of Marvel!
Believe me when i say, The Russo’s will blow me away with Civil War. Preferably, i enjoy both directors but Winter Soldier was one of the best sequels in recent memory, and i think The Russo’s are going to up their game with Civil War and Infinity Wars. May they survive making 3 awesome movies back to back! I will support them as long as they keep making awesome movies!
Film 5/365: Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie
Most people probably don't consider this a movie, but it says movie in the title, damn it. Basically, Alex accidentally wishes her parents never met and it comes true. They spend the whole movie trying to restore their parents memory in one way or another. Mostly from a wishing stone that grants one wish.
So basically, it's a pretty standard Wizards of Waverly Place episode, just elongated. I thought it was pretty obvious who was the bad guy from the moment they walked into the forest.
It was enjoyable as far as Wizards of Waverly Place goes. It had its emotional moments, and it's amusing moments. The lack of a laugh track was a relief. All in all, though, it wasn't too bad. I don't feel like reviewing such a small thing in detail.
