Avengers: Endgame

  In Avengers: Endgame, the heroes that survived Thanos’ snap from the end of Avengers: Infinity War deal with the emotional and psychological aftermath of the event. 5 years later, Scott Lang comes out of the Quantum Realm and suggests time travel through the Quantum Realm to undo Thanos’ snap. Tony is able to figure out time travel and the heroes recover the stones. When they return to the current time, Hulk snaps with a new infinity gauntlet to restore the lives lost literally by Thanos’ hand. Seconds afterward, a time-traveling Thanos makes his return and destroys the Avengers facility. While the rest of the heroes recover the big three, Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America, each take on Thanos in combat. After Thanos knocked both Thor and Iron Man unconscious Cap is able to hold his own for a bit and then the Mad Titan beats him up a good bit, even ripping apart his vibranium shield in the process. As Cap slowly recovers himself Thanos’ army is beamed down to the ground. Then...

Avengers: Infinity War

          In Avengers: Infinity War, during their travels to Earth, the Asgardian people encounter Thanos and his children known as the Black Order. Thor, Hulk, and Loki try to prevent him from being able to use the space stone, which was the Tesseract, but are proven powerless against Thanos. Once the Great Titan, Thanos, successfully retrieves the stone, he destroys the ship, leaving the bodies of the Asgardians that were on that ship, along with the unconscious Thor, to float off in space as they continue their search for the rest of the Infinity Stones. Later on, the Guardians of the Galaxy find him and bring him aboard their ship. While catching them up on the situation, Thor holds up the spoon with which he is eating his food and realizes that he needs a new weapon to replace his broken hammer, Mjolnir (see Thor: Ragnarok) in order to be able to take on Thanos, so he takes Rocket Raccoon and Groot with him to Nidavellir. While there, they help a dwa...

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Image
          In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Hank Pym, in a conversation with his daughter, Hope, recalls the time that he lost his wife, Janet, on a mission to stop a missile. She had to shrink into the Quantum Realm in order to do so. This event took place a few decades prior to the conversation. Hank thought that Janet might have died that day, but once Scott Lang returned, he thought that it might be possible that Janet is still alive. And if that’s possible then it’s possible that they might be able to bring her back from the Quantum Realm. Hank, Hope, and Scott spend the remainder of the film buying parts and building a Quantum tunnel to be able to do just that. Scripture tells us that Jesus will return someday (1 Thessalonians 4-5) and that He will come like a thief in the night. It instructs us that we must be ready for His return (Matthew 24). To be ready, we must simply do as He has instructed us before His ascension into Heaven. We must go into all the ...

Thor: Ragnarok

          In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor, the god of thunder, faces the most personal challenge of his 1500 years of life up to this point. He returns to Asgard to find that his brother, Loki, has used his magic to exile Odin, their father, from the kingdom only to take the throne himself, disguised as Odin, and his best friend, Heimdall, is in hiding from Loki for being wrongly accused of treason. Then, once Thor exposed Loki’s magical scheme to the people of Asgard, the two brothers went to Earth to retrieve the real Odin from exile only for them to be told that they both have an evil older sister before witnessing their father’s death. Immediately after this tragic event, this evil sister, Hela, makes her entrance. Thor ends up tossing Mjolnir, his hammer, at her only for her to catch it and destroy it. Throughout the rest of the film, Thor struggles to fight without his beloved hammer. There’s even a moment where he reaches for it out of instinct only to imm...
