However, one thing we weren’t 100% on was whether Marvel would go back to their traditional post credits scenes after Avengers: Endgame didn’t have a…

You know, you would think that, in 2019, people would be far more progressive than they were from, say, the early 1800’s. But, while most of the world is open to all races, genders, creeds, and orientations, there are still some low brow cave trolls out there who actually champion racist, sexist, and homophobic tendencies. Case in point; some ‘fan’ has reedited Avengers: Endgame to exclude all females, homosexuals, and even black heroes.

It has been a bit of a renaissance lately for our friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man. The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Spidey has been a breath of fresh air, giving us arguably the best, and certainly most comic accurate, version of Peter Parker with Tom Holland. Top that off with creatively unique, award winning, and inspiring Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, and the Wall Crawler’s time on the big screen has never been better. Now, as we approach the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Holland has a suggestion for a future installment that would probably cause fans’ head to collectively explode.…

But, their gamble paid off and Robert Downey Jr.’s interpretation of the playboy, philanthropist, billionaire with an amazing suit of armor won the hearts of fans all over the world. Throughout the course the MCU, we watched the character grow into a true hero, and his story arc came to an end in Avengers: Endgame, as he sacrificed his life to save the entire universe. We watched him fall in love, create a new…
