Let’s get right to it — I thought yesterday’s Apple event was a monumental success. Yes, it was light on some details like pricing and availability, but why would that stop Apple from hosting an event to announce these incredibly important new initiatives? Why let terrible tech reporters continue to spew hot takes when Apple can take control of the narrative?

And now what are we talking about after the event, how bad Apple’s original shows are going to be, and how Goldman Sachs is evil? Or are we talking about that incredible new Apple credit card is with zero fees and a cool interface, an effortless way to subscribe to and consume some of the best magazines while supporting great journalism, and the fact that we will finally be getting a modern, gorgeous interface to enjoy TV and movies that will free us from our cable provider?

In the hotly anticipated upcoming movie Avengers: Endgame, our favorite heroes will ultimately prevail over Thanos. This simple fact isn’t even a spoiler anymore at this point. When the mad Titan snapped his fingers and wiped out half of all life in the known universe, we all knew that the Avengers would somehow undo all that damage in Avengers 4. Then our gut feeling was confirmed many times over, but the most conclusive evidence came in the form of two slip-ups. First, Sony producer Amy Pascal confirmed that the events of Spider-Man: Far From Home will take place chronologically immediately following the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. Considering Spider-Man turned to dust when Thanos snapped his fingers, that’s all the confirmation we needed to know that the deaths in Infinity War would be undone. If you’re hard-headed and you need further confirmation though, you need only look to the first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home. Not only is Peter Parker alive, but look at everyone around him in the trailer. Do they look like half of everyone around them just turned to dust mere moments ago? Not at all.

So yeah, we know that the snap will be undone and the Avengers will find a way to defeat Thanos. The question, of course, is how are they going to pull it off? We’ve seen hints time and time again that time travel will play a role, and we can confirm conclusively that the Quantum Realm will be important since the second Avengers: Endgame trailer shows the remaining heroes in Quantum Suits like the one Hank Pym needed to travel to the Realm in Ant-Man and the Wasp. Now, however, a new leak reveals a pivotal scene in Avengers 4, and it spoils a pivotal moment in the movie relating to how the Avengers will defeat Thanos. It should go without saying, but you should stop reading right now if you want to avoid the major Avengers: Endgame spoilers that lie ahead.

The Apple Watch Series 4 is a fantastic upgrade, but is it really a must-have compared to last year’s model?

UFC superstar Conor McGregor, in a very Conor McGregor move, has announced his retirement from MMA via Twitter. The former two-division champion has had a rough few years and has been in hot water as of late after public outbursts landed him in legal trouble.

Most recently, McGregor was charged with robbery and criminal mischief after taking a fan’s smartphone and smashing it on the ground outside of a hotel in Florida earlier this month. He was arrested and released on bond.

For NASA, March 29th was going to be a history-making day at the International Space Station, with the first all-female spacewalk in human history. Astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch were scheduled to perform a variety of tasks on the exterior of the space station and it would have been the first time that two female astronauts carried out the delicate work in tandem.

Now that history-making event has been cancelled, and it’s all due to the fit of the spacesuits.

In a new update, NASA reveals that a change has been made to the spacewalk lineup and Koch will now be joined by Nick Hague, who just completed a similar spacewalk on March 22nd.
