Who Will Survive Infinity War? (and Who Will Die?) (SPOILERS)

Snap...

It has all come to this. At long last, in exactly one week, the Mad Titan will finally arrive and with him comes a conflict unlike anything Earth's Mightiest Heroes have faced before. There is a chance for them to prevail, but not without a cost. That's why in this post, I will go over the major players who I believe will survive this battle, who stands at a 50/50 chance, and who will sadly be crushed under the weight of it all...that is unless Thanos decides to give us a good 'ol snap of his fingers...in that case...they're fucked! Now without further adieu, let's begin: 

LIVES
Chris Hemsworth plays Thor in avengers infinity war Thor: If any of the OG Avengers are gonna make it out, I'm gonna go with the God of Thunder. He's been to Hell and back already (if the poster was any indicator) and I feel it's only going to get worse, so I think it would only be fair that he survives...at the cost of everything else...
Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow in avengers infinity war Black Widow: Alongside Thor, I feel Natasha has the best chance of getting out of this one in one piece. She may experience a whole lot of pain before getting there, but the odds are in her favor in my opinion. Plus, we still gotta get that solo movie of hers.
Benedict Cumberbatch plays Doctor Strange in avengers infinity war Dr. Strange: He's been shown to be in serious trouble in the last trailer courtesy of Mr. Ebony Maw, but I feel the mystical Doctor has a huge role going forward in the MCU, so I think he'll be alright. 
tom holland as spiderman in avengers infinity war Spider-Man: WELL HE BETTER!!! Personal feelings aside, I don't think the executives of the MCU are ready to let the web-slinger go. He's a long ways away from getting where he needs to be. Though don't expect him to come out unscathed, if that one promo is anything to go by. 
Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther in avengers infinity war Black Panther: With the success he's been garnering, I don't think T'Challa is going anytime soon, and there's a good chance he'll take up the reigns of becoming the Captain America (figuratively speaking) of the MCU alongside Dr. Strange's Iron Man (if that analogy makes any sense.)
Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch aka Wanda Maximoff in avengers infinity war Scarlet Witch: I don't see why it would be necessary to kill her off, and I think there could be potential for doing more things with her. That said, I can almost guarantee that she will experience great loss from this battle, so it's not an entire win for her.
Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka Falcon in avengers infinity war Falcon: I think at least one of Cap's buddies should make it out, and between him and Bucky, I think Sam has a better chance. I mean, someone's gotta take up the mantle if, well, we'll get to that...
Image result for Infinity War Mantis Poster Mantis: As sweet and innocent as she is, I believe, and particularly hope, that Mantis is a survivor of the chaos, and I'm sure she will be :)
vin diesel as groot and bradley cooper as rocket in avengers infinity war Groot: We'll get to Rocket later, but Groot is definitely among the safer ones when it comes to the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in in avengers infinity war Star-Lord: No way is Star-Lord dying. Honestly, out of every character in this film, I'd say he is the safest. 
letita wright as shuri in avengers infinty wardanai gurira as okoye in avengers infinity war Shuri and Okoye: Black Panther did a good job of making these two ladies way too popular to kill off at this time. 

50/50 (From Least Likely to Most)
Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer in avengers infinity war Drax: I honestly don't feel that any of the Guardians are going to perish in this film, and even if one were, I don't think it would be Drax, but seeing as though he's got a bone to pick with Thanos and isn't known for being one to plan ahead, he could stand to be in real danger.
Zoe Saldana as Gamora in avengers infinity war Gamora: Again, I think most if not all the Guardians are safe, but like Drax, Gamora could be in trouble due to her connection to Thanos, but I feel that may play a part in his inevitable defeat. 
vin diesel as groot and bradley cooper as rocket in avengers infinity war Rocket: Here is the character I feel will perish if they choose to kill a Guardian off. Rocket stands as the clear candidate since I feel there isn't much more that could be done with him, and given how he acted during Vol. 2, a sacrifice to protect the ones who are like a family to him wouldn't be completely out of character.
Image result for infinity war the black order The Black Order: This one's a clear 50/50, as while I feel Ebony Maw and Proxima Midnight will survive, Corvus Glaive and Cull Obsidian will most likely perish.
mark ruffalo as hulk in avengers infinity war Hulk: There isn't much that can be said about Bruce Banner. There is no clear path for him to take, as he will forever be burdened with the curse of the Hulk. Maybe Infinity War will be the chance he gets to gain the closure he deserves; to use his new power in a way that will be beneficial as opposed to detrimental, possibly at the cost of his own life. 
Image result for Infinity War Thanos Thanos: The Mad Titan himself. While I feel it would make sense to have him taken down by the end of this film, it would be rather wasteful if it were to happen before he gathered all the Infinity Stones, so while I feel he will be defeated, he'll most likely stick around to rear his ugly head once again. 
Image result for Infinity War Bucky poster Bucky: The Winter Soldier has finally reached full circle in his quest for redemption, and Infinity War will definitely show how that all plays out. What that could entail is a possible heroic sacrifice much akin to Rocket if that were to happen. Still, we may need him if...well, why don't we discuss that, shall we...

DIES
Don Cheadle as James Rhodes in avengers infinity war Rhodey: Here I was thinking Rhodes was going to be the big casualty of Civil War. It seems he's gotten better from that little mishap, so it's practically given that he's living on borrowed time, and that time has most likely run out...
paul bettany as vision in avengers infinity war Vision: The one character that everyone predicts is a goner, which makes sense given what is keeping him alive. When this will happen is debatable, but I am quite certain Vision is a goner.
Image result for infinity war loki Loki: Everyone's favorite God of Mischief is another candidate living on borrowed time, and I don't think it's possible for him to weasel his way out of this predicament.
benedict wong as wong in avengers infinity war Wong: I can totally see him not making it out of this, especially if he tries to save Strange from the clutches of Ebony Maw and fails.
karen gillan as nebula in avengers infinity war Nebula: Yeah, I can't see Nebula surviving this, though I can see her landing a detrimental blow to her father before she perishes.
avengers infinty war character posters Iron Man or Captain America: Here they are, the two big ones. There's only one thing that I can say for certain, two actually: one of them is NOT making it out alive, and killing both of them would be overkill. While Cap is the clear choice for many people, I feel Iron Man is going to be the one, seeing as though Infinity War will be a game changer and what better way to do that than to kill off the one who started it all. All in all, it doesn't look good for either of them, so bring your tissues ),:

And that's it for this blog, guys. Tune in for more on the way, and until then, get ready for the end.

The Walking Dead Season 8: 5 Characters Most Likely to Die in the Finale (SPOILERS)

This is it! All Out War is officially about to come to a close. Season 8 has been one heck of a roller coaster this entire year. It had an incredibly fast-paced beginning to the first half until it started to sag towards the end before hitting what appeared to be the show's ultimate rock bottom...until the second half swooped in to save the day. Overall, this season has done a lot to change the direction of the show as we know it, with Morgan crossing over into the world of Fear The Walking Dead, the Commonwealth from the comics possibly being introduced, and, of course, the death of Carl Grimes. Overall, the future has never been more uncertain, and it's even more unclear as to how All Out War comes to a close and, more importantly, who will make it out alive? With so much to consider, I give my predictions as to who will bite the dust as the smoke clears on this grand final battle, but before I do that, let me first do a quick breakdown of the ones who will surely make it out alive and those who are up in the air, to say the least...

SURVIVES
  • Rick
  • Daryl
  • Maggie
  • Michonne
  • Carol
  • Morgan
  • Rosita
  • Aaron
  • Jesus
  • Ezekiel
  • Enid
  • Siddiq
  • Dianne 
  • Nabila
  • Judith
  • Gracie
  • Henry
  • Cyndie (if she shows up at least)
DEBATABLE
  • Tara
  • Negan
  • Gregory
  • Jadis
  • Alden
  • Jerry
  • Any given Alexandrian, Hilltopper, Kingdomer, Savior, and/or Oceansider (if they choose to show up)
Now onto the list:

Related image 5. Scott: One of the recurring Alexandrians who outlasted his comic counterpart by a longshot, I feel that this will be the place for Scott to go, being one of the first major casualties in the surprise attack by the Saviors.

Image result for The Walking Dead Wrath Kal  4. Kal: The only character that I can predict for sure is a goner, it seems that Kal is being set to receive his comics death. Not much more to say, but you won't be seeing him for much longer.

Related image 3. Dwight: Heading into the major leagues now, we've got Dwight, who was a wild card for me throughout the entire time he's been on. From how it seems, he's not in a good place at the moment, and while there is always a chance for him making it out, the chances don't seem high. I hope he gets to prove how far he's come before he bites the bullet. 

Image result for The Walking Dead Wrath Gabriel 2. Gabriel: Poor Gabriel been through absolute Hell this season. The guy just really can't catch a break. Like Dwight, things aren't balanced in his favor. To be fair to the both of them, they fare much better than my number one pick...

Image result for The Walking Dead Wrath Eugene 1. Eugene: Eugene's been a particularly frustrating character this season. While I've always held onto the hope that joining Negan was a ploy, these last few episodes have broken my confidence in that being the case. There's still a chance, and even if his treachery is genuine, he'll probably change if the survivors decide to lock him up, but if a major character is set to die in this finale (and I assume there will,) then the mullet-wearing Judas has got to go. 

And that's it for this post, guys! Tune in for more coming your way :)
