The biggest cinematic event of the year is hitting late this month. There’s less than two weeks between now and when Avengers: Endgame hits theaters. However, the film’s conclusion has been leaked online, so spoilers for the whole thing are up in the wild. Here are some ways you can protect yourself from the biggest spoilers.
Avoiding Avengers Endgame Spoilers
Social Media
One of your best bets might be a full-blown social media blackout. No one wants to accidentally scroll past a major spoiler on Facebook, Twitter or Reddit. As such, simply staying off of those sites ad apps could be the right call. In the case of Reddit you can just avoid Marvel-related subreddits until you’ve seen the movie, at least.
On Twitter, you can mute certain words or phrases manually. Consider muting the Avengers keyword in particular if you’re worried about getting spoiled. You can set it to mute indefinitely or for a set duration. Either way, you won’t see mentions of the chosen keyword for as long as its muted.
Your Friends
Depending on how friendly or unfriendly your buddies are, they might inadvertently expose you to spoilers. If your friends are sort-of jerks, consider just avoiding them until after you’ve seen the movie. Otherwise, just let them know you’re really trying to avoid spoilers and don’t want to discuss any leaks with them.
At the Theater
Some people are just trolls and will try to spoil the film for you while you’re in line at the theater. Consider pre-purchasing your tickets online so you don’t have to stand in line for a while. You could even skip the concession stand if you want to double down on not exposing yourself to potential trolls who would shout spoilers.
For those of you considering spoiling the movie for people who are excited to see it: shame on you. Let people enjoy things without wanting to ruin it for them.
Avengers Endgame hits theaters in the US on April 27th. Tickets are on sale now.
Avengers: Infinity War ended on a crazy cliffhanger. If you haven’t seen it yet, consider this a massive spoiler warning for every movie in the MCU! Alright, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into it. Here are the ten things we want to see in Avengers 4. This is everything from returning heroes to new characters to plot points we think would be super fun. Alright, let’s dig in!
Our first entry is a longshot, but we want it none the less! After Thanos is done and dusted and the smoke clears, the MCU will get to go back to normal. Well, sort of. How do you follow up Thanos? Galactus, obviously. We’re not saying that the MCU should just dive straight in to another larger-than-life crossover right away, but a hint of things to come would be awesome. Who better to herald the coming of Galactus than his very herald? We’d be okay with him showing up for a brief post-credit sequence, just to cash in on the recent Fox acquisition.

Banner and the Hulk haven’t been getting along too well lately. After getting thoroughly thrashed by the Mad Titan, the Big Green Meanie has been avoiding conflict altogether. Instead, Banner’s picked up the torch and has been handling this situation himself. However, if the Avengers are to overcome Thanos, they’re going to need their Hulk. We’re excited to see Banner and Hulk resolve their issues and come together to save the world one more time.
Hawkeye was under house arrest during the events of Infinity War, which is ironic, given that he would much rather be at home anyway. However, given the way these stories work, there is a one hundred percent chance that Hawkeye’s wife and kids got Snapped out of existence. And Clint is going to be pissed. And we can’t wait to see him go full secret agent-mode on the Mad Titan.
When Nick Fury realized what was happening, he pulled the final trump card out of his sleeve. He activated his retro 90’s pager and called in Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel, AKA Carol Danvers, is one of the mightiest heroes in the Marvel Universe. She’s got super-strength, speed, flight, energy manipulation and more.
We’ll get properly introduced to her when her movie comes out in March of next year. However, we’re most excited to see the super-powerful badass turn Thanos into a purple smudge and wipe that dumb look off his ridge-chinned face.
Adam Warlock

Odds are good that there will at least be a cameo from Marvel’s literal golden boy. We’ve actually already seen Adam’s origins: The Sovereign, secondary antagonists of Guardians Vol. 2, had “Him” created as a last-ditch effort to get back at the goofball Guardians. In the comics, Adam Warlock is a huge part of the formation of the Infinity Watch. His role in stopping Thanos was rather pivotal in the comics, so he may well appear in the next film.
The only thing giving us pause on this is statements from James Gunn that indicated Warlock would play a large role in Guardians 3. However, following Gunn’s controversial firing, those plans may or may not have changed.
Ant-Man and Ghost

Following the excellent Ant-Man and the Wasp, we learned more about the Quantum Realm and the power set of Ghost. Also known as Ava Starr, Ghost is a superhuman with the power to phase in and out of various states of matter. As such, she might be one of the only superhumans capable of getting in close and handling Thanos without just being obliterated.
Meanwhile, Scott has been stranded in the Quantum Realm thanks to the Snappening, which is a fascinating development. We’re excited to see what role Scott will play in opposing Thanos, given that the Quantum Realm is outside of time and space is meaningless there. That means two of the six infinity stones have no power there.
Thanos and Doctor Strange have both already shown that the Time Stone is capable of some serious temporal trickery. In Doctor Strange’s solo outing, he fought Dormamu to a standstill with the stone’s power. In Infinity War, Thanos undid Vision’s death, only to slay him again in far more brutal fashion. These incidents give us hope that the many deaths in Infinity War can be undone by the heroes. We want to see more from Doctor Strange, Spider-Man and Black Panther, after all!
We’re very excited to see the original Avengers assemble one last time. While many of the heroes of the MCU have been dusted by Thanos, the main Avengers squad is still standing. And that, friends, is bad news for the Mad Titan. They underestimated him once, which means that they won’t be pulling their punches this time. However, we’re more than a little worried, as it’s unlikely all of our favorite heroes make it out unscathed this time.
It seems quite likely that Iron Man, Captain America and maybe even Hulk or Thor might bite it in the next film. They’ve all lost a lot, and they’re likely all determined to stop Thanos however they can. Even if they are capable of undoing the damage he’s done, it seems most likely that it will come at a heavy price. After all, if the team just undoes the damage and everyone is okay, what was the point?
This will likely lead to the torch being passed to new Avengers. Bucky might take up Cap’s shield. Peter could become the new “tech guy,” inheriting Tony’s gadgets. Doctor Strange could fill in for Thor, as he’s the mystical member of the team.
The climatic scene of Avengers 4 needs to be Tony Stark killing Thanos. The MCU has all led up to this final battle, and Tony’s been haunted by Thanos for six years. It would only make sense to have Tony bring the final blow to Thanos. We fully expect it to be a massive team effort, with Captain Marvel, Thor, Hulk and Captain America paving the way. However, the very last hit, the killing blow, needs to go to Tony. Even if it results in Tony himself dying to make it happen, he deserves to land that last shot.
And then… another ten years of awesome super hero adventures!
Im sure by now you have read our Smartphone spotlight on the OnePlus 6, gotten all the great details and may have even considered picking one up. Why wouldn’t you, its big, beautiful with all the power of Luke Cage. Well hold up, first off its not really easy to get in the states. They don’t just sell them at the Best Buy here, you have to order it off the internet from china. Now before you do that there is something else you should know, There is a special addition Avengers Infinity War OnePlus 6. If this has your spidey senses tingling check out the details.
The price is a meager $660, terrific deal even Peter Parker could afford. For that you will get the special edition 6, which is essentially the OnePlus 6 aside from a few cosmetic changes. There’s different textured back, that’s a “custom 3D aramid fiber-textured glass body, with Gorilla Glass 5 coating. It looks like something Shuri would have concocted. There is a well placed and stunningly official looking Avengers and Marvel logo on the back of the phone, near the bottom. I like the way this phone looks like it was crafted elegantly from a blown off piece of Winter solders arm.
Special Edition What
Yes, its nice looking, what else makes this special. First off you’re getting the 8GB/256GB RAM and storage combo if you’re buying the Avengers model. You’ll have to pay $660 for it a $31 premium over the regular model that offers the same specs. Besides it being really cool looking You also get a special retail box and a special case that has Iron Man’s mask printed on it. In each of these cool marvel boxes you get a special medal.
Tell Me More About this OnePlus 6 Avengers Medal
Yes ill do just that. This medal comes in the box. Yes each OnePlus 6 Avengers phone in each box contains a random Avengers medal. There are 6 random medals. Getting all six different medals by June 30th will get you into a draw for a 100,000 yuan ($15,700). You can’t get the medals you lack without buying additional OnePlus 6 Avengers phones. If your doing the math, you would have to spend a lucky $6,600 with a 1/36 chance of getting all different medals.
The Final Thought
I love to geek out, for the 5T they released a Star Wars edition. For some reason the The Avengers: Infinity War edition featuring a Kevlar-style patterned back along with a gold Avengers emblem and color-matched mute switch seem so much cooler. I kinda want it, I just need 5 more of you to jump on this. We can combine the medals and maybe with the 100,000 yuan. In my best Captain America voice… Who is with me?
