You knew the Avengers: Infinity War ending might be tragic. You knew that some of Marvel’s greatest heroes were going to die. But you probably expected Captain America or Iron Man to bite the bullet. Instead, some of Marvel’s newly minted heroes like Black Panther and Spider-Man disappeared. It was a shocking twist, bu...
Throughout the Marvel films, Thanos has worked to gather all six Infinity Stones so he can destroy half of all life in the universe. In the Infinity War ending, the Avengers try to stop him, eventually killing Vision in order to destroy the Mind Stone inside his head. But Thanos simply uses the Time Stone to reverse th...
Thanos has won. When he snaps his fingers, people and aliens alike begin to disintegrate. In a stunning sequence, many of Marvel’s superheroes slowly turn to dust. Okoye cries out as her king, Black Panther, dissolves. Rocket tries to grab on to Groot as he watches his friend die — again. Spider-Man, still just a teena...
All told, billions of people vanish, and 12 heroes disappear: Black Panther, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Star-Lord, Groot, Drax, Mantis, Nick Fury and Maria Hill.
It’s all rather devastating — until you look at a calendar of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movies and realize that Spider-Man, Black Panther and the Guardians of the Galaxy cannot be gone for good. Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 is due out in 2019. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set for 2020. Black Panther just ...
There is an intriguing scenario in which directors Anthony Russo and Joseph Russo really did kill off all the recently cast heroes. Avengers: Endgame could play out like HBO’s The Leftovers: The remaining heroes deal with the emotional and philosophical fallout of half the world disappearing. Shuri could become the new...
But that probably won’t happen because Thanos’ seemingly random culling wasn’t so random after all. The characters who remain at the end of Infinity War offer a clue about the plot of Avengers: Endgame.
Losing was all part of the plan. Doctor Strange watched millions of possible futures before the Avengers fought Thanos. He tells Iron Man that he sees only one future in which the heroes ultimately prevail. Conveniently, he doesn’t offer any details about that actual scenario. But Doctor Strange probably figured out th...
And then there’s the way that our heroes “died.” Floating into the aether feels less permanent than a stab wound or an explosion. Just imagine that stunning disintegration sequence in reverse, the pieces slowly coming together to regenerate the heroes we thought we lost.
Which brings us to the real-world reasons that all the young heroes will return despite the Avengers: Infinity War ending. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth have all starred in three solo movies in addition to multiple Avengers films. Their Marvel Cinematic Universe contracts are up after Avengers: End...
So what might the Avengers 2.0 look like? Spider-Man and Black Panther will return, and perhaps Black Panther will recruit his sister Shuri or warrior Okoye to the new Avengers team. Cap’s sidekicks Bucky Barnes or Falcon may become the new Captain America. Perhaps Valkyrie, Thor’s new ally from Thor: Ragnarok, will vi...
And soon, Marvel Studios will get some new superheroes for its toy box. Disney and Fox are currently merging, and soon Disney will own the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four. Rogue, Storm and Wolverine have all teamed up with the Avengers at some point in the comics, so a future film crossover is possible.
As for the rest of our heroes, Doctor Strange probably returns. An end-credits scene from his solo film hinted at a sequel. And there’s a good chance Gamora comes back too. Nebula survived the culling and will prioritize resurrecting her sister over saving the universe. Perhaps they can use the Soul Stone to revive her...
How Gamora and the rest of the Marvel heroes actually reach Thanos, I have no idea. But they will. They are called the Avengers after all. And now they have a lot of people to avenge.
Jesus came and stood among his disciples.
Anywhere else in the Gospel story and this would not be a strange statement. It must have occurred countless times before this particular moment, yet this time was different. This time, the presence of Jesus in the midst of his disciples was not only unexpected, but it was seemingly impossible.
It comes as no surprise to us—the modern audience. We have likely been here before. We know the story. Jesus was supposed to be dead and the disciples were now afraid for their own lives. Their fear was not unreasonable; the person in whom they had put their trust, whom they had believed to be the messiah and whom they...
It might be difficult for us to imagine ourselves in the place of the disciples. How many of us have risked our lives for something that we believe in or followed after? Have we ever been seriously threatened for our beliefs? How would our lives of faith be challenged and ultimately changed if our lives were actually o...
In the midst of their fear, Jesus came and stood among his disciples.
How astonished they must have been! Jesus, the one whom they believed was not only their Messiah but their friend, was alive and standing in their midst. How could it be? What great reversal, beyond the bounds of possibility, had occurred in the natural order of things?
Jesus must have sensed their bewilderment. The first words he spoke to his friends were “Peace be with you,” reassuring them that his presence in their midst was not an illusion or hallucination. He really was alive. Their belief was not misplaced. The story was not over. Their hopes had been resurrected with Christ.
Put plainly, Jesus tells the disciples that they cannot remain in the comfort and safety of the home in which they had gathered. His story isn’t over, and because of this, their story wasn’t over yet either. This was always the plan, and the next step would require them to go out into the world and share the good news ...
I wonder if this request made them even more afraid. I wonder how you or I might have responded if we would have been gathered there with them. In our modern context, sharing our faith with others can be a vulnerable experience, but most people we might encounter in our day-to-day lives have at least heard a portion of...
While disbelief had to have been at least one of the expected outcomes, they probably didn’t expect it to be the response of one of their own. Yet the next line in our passage reveals that Thomas, one of the twelve disciples, had not been present with the others when Jesus came and stood in their midst. While the other...
Thomas often gets a bad rap. We, who have the benefit of reading this story with a fuller knowledge of what would occur, often dismiss Thomas’ unbelief, assuming that we would have been less hesitant to believe or more faithful in our resistance of reasonable doubt. We too often afford ourselves the benefit of the doub...
But is doubt a weakness? Or is it simply an opportunity, a space, a possible fertile ground in which faith might grow and ultimately blossom?
Perhaps Thomas understood this when he said, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” Thomas knew what had happened to his friend and Messiah. He, like the other disciples, had carried the weight of fear and doubt that cam...
I cannot blame him. Can you? Who among us would not have responded in a similar fashion?
A week later, the disciples were gathered together again in the same house where they had last seen Jesus. Only this time, Thomas was with them. During the last encounter, the doors of the house were locked, but this time the doors were only shut. Perhaps this small detail offers some clue that while the disciples stil...
The Greek word we translate to “doubt” is ἄπιστος (apistos), which means unfaithful, faithless or unbelieving, without trust in God. Jesus is touching on something deeper here than Thomas simply doubting that the person of Jesus was no longer dead and had resurrected. Jesus was touching on Thomas’ belief or lack of bel...
Jesus’ words, “Do not doubt but believe,” are aimed not only at Thomas, but also at all those who encounter this passage, and are struggling to believe that God is able to do the thing which God has promised—call our world into new and unending, resurrected life.
Thomas responds, saying, “My Lord and my God!” This too should be our response, as we so often find ourselves in Thomas’ shoes, struggling to believe and remain faithful when the world around us often seems hellbent on its own destruction rather than resurrection and new life.
Because what other choice do we have?
We believe not because we have seen his wounds or placed our hands within his side, but because we have seen Christ in the face of another, who has also not seen or touched Christ, but lives their life in such a way that Christ has been made present in our midst.
We, just like the first disciples, seek safety and too often let fear paralyze us, but it is in gathering together that Christ is made known. Jesus continues to stand among his disciples, beckoning us to believe not only in his resurrection but also in our own and in the resurrection of the whole world.
Behold, all things are made new.

No-bread sandwiches inhabit a small corner of our culinary present, but the surprise factor makes them all worthwhile. The ingredients are tasty enough to satisfy without added carbs.
Let’s see, a no-bread sandwich. How diabolical is that? It makes sense if you’re low on bread, or tired of the usual stuff between two slices.
This is perfect for what we call a “light lunch,” one that is satisfying but won’t spoil your trip later to the chocolate yogurt smoothie shop with whipped cream and sprinkles.

More than 160 Duncanville High School students are returning to school a day after a dress code crackdown sparked outrage with students and parents.
Students who spoke with NBC 5's Ellen Bryan before school Thursday said some of them would continue to be in violation of the dress code to protest the administration's policies.
Duncanville administrators said violations include: Piercings, large belt buckles, untucked shirts, different colored jackets and other issues.

Conduct crackdowns take place a few times a year and have targeted class tardiness, among other issues.
Student who are protesting the dress code said they will continue to show up in violation of the rules for the rest of the school year -- no matter how many suspensions they are given. The protestors are now making a movement to try to get the dress code repealed, using a Change.org petition with over 200 signatures th...
As students returned to school Thursday, school administrators said while they did turn some students away for violating the dress code, the school day has been "normal" and orderly.
Administrators refused NBC 5 requests for interviews on Thursday because they say there was nothing different today from the policies they said they've enforced all year.
"This is what my student got suspended for," said Angela Salerno. "He just didn't shave for one day and this hair stubble is what his suspension letter said. That's ridiculous."
Salerno's son, who is a junior at Duncanville High School, is just one of more than 160 students who were suspended because of dress code violations.
Word quickly spread of the suspensions, triggering chaos in the hallways among the students.
Video shot on mobile phones showed students running through hallways. Another video showed a student throwing a trash can into the middle of a crowded hallway. Posts on social media services like Twitter and Instagram described a "food fight" at the school.
Duncanville police were called to the school to help get things in order, but no arrests were made.
Students who were able to get back into dress code were allowed back in class. But many of the students could be found anywhere but the classroom Wednesday, like Shania Hornsby.
"I didn't have a problem with taking out my nose ring, that's not the problem," said Hornsby, who is a senior at Duncanville. "The problem is why you didn't enforce this all school year?"
"As far as a warning, we have been enforcing it all year long," said Dr. Andre Smith, who is the principal at Duncanville High School.
But many students said they were never warned about dress code violations this school year.
"All year and you're going to wait three weeks until they get out of school to suspend hundreds of students — makes no sense," said Salerno.
The principal told NBC 5 students are held to high expectations.
"I think it's part of our responsibility to help students adhere and reach those expectations in school and outside of school," said Smith.

Locky ransomware continues to evolve to evade security tools.
Researchers have catalogued the changes made to one of the most common pieces of ransomware over the course of this year, showing how sophisticated the development of such tools has become.
Ransomware has become one of the biggest menaces on the internet: one analysis puts the total cost of the file-encrypting malware at $1bn for the whole year. Cyber-criminals have found that encrypting someone's files, usually by tricking them into clicking on a malicious attachment, and forcing them to pay a ransom to ...
However, as law enforcement and security companies are increasingly targeting ransomware, the developers of the malware also have to adapt.
Researchers at security company Forcepoint have listed the changes to Locky, one of the most common pieces of crypto-ransomware.
Once hit by ransomware, users' files are held to ransom until payment is made: Locky requires users to pay using the Bitcoin currency, which helps to hide the Locky affiliates' identities from law enforcement. Typically the amount requested is between 0.5 to 1 Bitcoin, somewhere around $400 to $800.
Security company Check Point said Locky was the second most prevalent piece of malware worldwide in November, and there appear to be several different groups who use and distribute unique builds of Locky.
On February 15, the first samples of Locky were seen, but since then the malware has grown in functionality - for example it can now display its ransom request in 30 different languages from Finnish to Vietnamese.
By June, Locky had added anti-analysis tricks aimed at frustrating automated security tools and started using new file extensions.
In July it added support for offline encryption using embedded RSA keys, in case the malware is unable to communicate with its command and control structure. In early September, some Locky samples stopped using command and control altogether, instead relying solely on the offline encryption mode. Later in the month, on...
Carl Leonard, principal security analyst at Forcepoint, said Locky has been a growing menace in 2016, thanks to its constantly changing distribution techniques.
It's unknown who is behind the malware, but researchers speculate that it could be one individual or a very small team, perhaps two or three people. Whoever is behind it, the developers update the software to evade security tools, he said.
"Locky is sophisticated in as far as the cryptography has been very well implemented. Most ransomware have flaws, however minor, in the way they implement the cryptography," said Leonard.
"When we originally published their Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) we saw them immediately stop distribution, modify their DGA to be more secure and less predictable, and then start up distribution again a few days later. They also frequently change their network traffic patterns, and implement anti-analysis feature...
Welcome to the Dew Sweeper, your one-stop shop to catch up on the weekend action from the golf world. From the professional tours, trending news, social media headlines and upcoming events, here's every golf-related thing you need to know for the morning of April 24.
Kevin Chappell enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2016, posting five top-three finishes and earning $4.5 million in prize money. However, he was unable to find the winner's circle, and entered 2017 still searching for his first career PGA Tour victory. Following a rough start to the season (zero top 30s in his first 11...
For Chappell, the performance answered questions about his ability to finish, and served as sweet redemption: at the 2011 Texas Open, he lost by one stroke thanks to a 5-5 finish.
Which seems to be a pattern this year. Sergio Garcia capturing his first major at 37, Dustin Johnson finally winning at Riviera after five previous top-4 finishes, Adam Hadwin and Hudson Swafford grabbing their breakthroughs...suddenly, Phil Mickelson's 30-to-1 U.S. Open odds look pretty enticing.
Golf, she is a heartless paramour. Unable to secure his tour card by a single stroke in Hilton Head, Ian Poulter needed a top-38 finish in Texas. Alas, the Ryder Cup heavyweight stumbled to a 75 in Round 1, ultimately missing the cut and losing his full-time PGA Tour status.
"I think it's been slightly overdramatized," said Poulter of his situation. "Obviously I'd loved to have finished up and got it done this week. However, that hasn't happened."
Poulter is scheduled to play in this week's Zurich Classic. However, the 41-year-old will have to rely on past champion's status and sponsor exemptions to compete going forward. We'll undoubtedly see Poulter at some point after New Orleans. But as he conceded himself, when that will be is anybody's guess.
Rory McIlroy married Erica Stoll this weekend in Ireland, with fellow golfers Sergio Garcia, Shane Lowry and Padraig Harrington in attendance. Not only did the couple celebrate their vows in a castle, but Stevie Wonder and Ed Sheeran performed during the reception. Puts that Billy Joel cover band that worked your weddi...
McIlroy is off on a 10-day honeymoon, and plans to return to action at the Players Championship.
Thanks to his mouth-watering muscle off the tee and aggressive mindset around the green, many anointed Brooks Koepka as golf's "next big thing" in 2014. While he's certainly been very, very good -- evidenced in seven top-15 finishes in majors -- Koepka hasn't quite breached the sport's upper echelon just yet, with one ...
Luckily, Koepka righted the ship at the Masters (T-11) and showed Augusta was not an aberration, racking up seven birdies in his first 12 holes to fire a final-round 65. The effort was good enough for a runner-up finish in San Antonio, his fourth silver medal in two years.
"I'm playing really well. It's hard to win out here. I think everybody knows that," Koepka said on Sunday. "Feel like I'm really knocking on the door of getting the second win, and hopefully it comes soon."
Few rival Koepka in terms of talent, power, and touch. What's kept him on the periphery is inconsistency, ranking 185th in bogey average. (To illustrate the stat's importance, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler are atop this category.) If he can alleviate these mistakes, the 26-year-old -- as he proved on ...
Post surgery, Tiger's focus on "healthy lifestyle"
Tiger Woods underwent his fourth back surgery since 2014 last week, although this operation was drastically different from the previous three. The fusion procedure is designed to lessen spasms and lower back pain, issues that have hampered the 14-time major winner.
Also different: the response from Woods' team.
