PC culture or Retroactive Social Media Litigation?
April 26th, 2019 may seem far away. But when you think of it as only 100 days from now, it’s like we’re practically all already piling into the theater for Avengers: Endgame.
We’re nearly there, fam. A mere 144,000 minutes! Roughly 8.64e+6 seconds! And Marvel would like to remind you of this exciting fact.

Honestly, at this point in time, my emotions are all over the place regarding Endgame. It used to feel like we’d be waiting for this movie forever, but now something tells me those 100 days will pass quickly. Are you excited or starting to teeter on the edge of Endgame fatigue before we’ve even gotten a second trailer? Me too.
