    The flawless trailer for Joker 2019 has already inspired fans to create tribute illustrations and art.

    Endgame for the Avengers

    Whatever It Takes

    The Marvel Cinematic Universe wraps up phase 1, 2 and 3 and begins anew..

    Send us your memes! enjoy@toomuch.media

    Who is still ALIVE?

    Tony Stark/Iron Man
    The trailer doesn’t give a lot of hope for Iron Man fans as he’s floating adrift in a spaceshift. He’s running out of air, and he ran out of food and water days ago. What a bleak way to start things off. Anyway, if you’re the type of person who enjoys looking at blurry set photos taken by people hanging out their window, you know he’ll come out of this ok, but he won’t be leading the fight.

    Steve Rogers/Captain America
    When Thanos wiped out half of life in the universe, we were all shocked. However, what was more shocking was seeing the clean shaven, babyface Steve Rogers in the Endgame trailer. I’m assuming his glorious beard was a living thing, and it got turned to dust during the Thanos Snap. RIP Steve Rogers’ beard, 2016-2018. Anyway, it’s very apparent that Rogers will be leading the charge in the next movie, even though in the trailer, his confidence is shaken.

    Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow
    Of course, Black Widow is back as well, and she’s spending plenty of time hanging with herBFF, Steve Rogers. She comes off as a bit more expositional during the trailer, but it’s obvious she’ll play a big role in Endgame.

    Bruce Banner/Hulk
    After Thanos punched the living hell out of Hulk, the green monster went into hiding, tired of doing Bruce’s dirty work for him. There isn’t one Hulk sighting in this trailer. In fact, we only see Bruce once, looking at MIA pictures of other heroes. While Bruce is nothing but brains, it’s gonna take some brawn to beat Thanos, so Hulk will be needed.

    Thor
    The overly-cocky Thor didn’t go for Thanos’ head in Infinity War because he wanted to get a few words in before the Mad Titan’s demise. This mistake led to half of life in the universe dying, so of course, Thor is not happy. We see him briefly, and he’s not in his costume and not near his ax, Stormbreaker. However, this team is going to need some muscle, and Thor is the man for the job… well, so is Hulk, but who knows if he’ll actually come back.

    Clint Barton/Hawkeye/Ronin
    Hawkeye has gone through some changes, as we briefly see him beating up people in Japan, most likely under the guise of Ronin now–as he looks exactly like his comic book counterpart. He was missing from Infinity War, and the team could have used his exceptional marksman abilities to fight off Thanos. And there you have it, every member of the original Avengers
    team is back.

    Nebula
    Nebula is briefly seen, later on, in the trailer, mourning the loss of her sister, Gamora. Wait, is she on the same ship as Tony? Why aren’t they hanging out? Her ruthlessness and abilities will come in handy when trying to take down her father, Thanos, during Endgame.

    Scott Lang/Ant-Man
    Finally, there’s the delightful Scott Lang, who somehow made it back from being trapped in the Quantum Realm, which we saw in the post-credit sequence of Ant-Man and the Wasp. However, Scott’s biggest obstacle is getting past security at the Avengers HQ, which has a really tall gate–in Scott’s defense.

    Avengers Endgame Team, so far: Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk(?), Thor,
    Ronin, Nebula, and Ant-Man.
    Can these heroes beat Thanos?

    Game of Thrones: Who’s dead and who’s alive?

    Jon Snow
    Jon Snow (Kit Harington) managed to capture a Wight and bring it to Cersei to prove that the creatures—and by proxy, the White Walkers—do exist. Having survived yet another encounter with the Night King, he is now headed back to his home of Winterfell—with his new lover (and, unbeknownst to him, his aunt) Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) in tow.

    Daenerys Targaryen
    Daenerys may have lost one of her dragons while saving Jon Snow beyond the Wall, but she survived the encounter with the Night King and his army. After brokering an uneasy alliance with Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), she is now headed to Winterfell with Jon.

    Cersei Lannister
    The Queen of the Seven Kingdoms has lost all of her children over the course of the series but still managed to elevate herself to queen. She now claims that she is pregnant. She reveals to Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) that she intends to double-cross Daenerys and let the Mother of Dragons’ forces tire themselves out fighting the White Walkers before attacking Daenerys herself.

    Tyrion Lannister
    After arranging a meeting between Daenerys and Cersei, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) is on his way to Winterfell with Jon and Daenerys, though he is concerned about the Mother of Dragon’s romantic entanglement with Jon.

    Sansa Stark
    After warning Jon about bending the knee to Daenerys, Sansa (Sophie Turner) takes over the day-to-day operations in Winterfell. She executes Littlefinger for
    conspiring against her family and currently rules over the North.

    Ayra Stark
    Arya (Maisie Williams) returns to Winterfell after avenging the death of her family members by killing Walder Frey. She and Sansa eventually decide to work together with their brother Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) as a wolf pack to survive.

    Bran Stark
    After arriving in Winterfell, Bran reveals that Jon is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark to Samwell Tarly (John Bradley). He then uses his powers to watch the Night King destroy a large part of the Wall and march south toward Winterfell.

    Jaime Lannister
    Disgusted with Cersei’s plan to attack Daenerys and Jon Snow when the fate of the entire realm is at stake—shades of the Mad King—Jaime walks out of King’s Landing. He rides to the North.

    Brienne of Tarth
    Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) witnesses the meeting between Jon, Daenerys and Cersei in Winterfell. When Cersei initially refuses to help Daenerys and Jon, Brienne pleads with Jaime to talk to his sister. She is now heading back to Winterfell.

    Theon Greyjoy
    After his sister Yara (Gemma Whelan) is captured by their uncle Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbæk), Theon (Alfie Allen) rallies the Ironborn to help him save Yara by
    proving himself in a battle. He is now sailing to the Seven Kingdoms to try to save her.

    Samwell Tarly
    Sam leaves the Citadel to tell Jon Snow that he has both Targaryen and Stark blood. He arrives at Winterfell where he and Bran piece together that Jon is the
    rightful heir to the Iron Throne.

    Davos Seaworth
    Ser Davos (Liam Cunningham) accompanies Jon Snow and Daenerys to their meeting with Cersei. He is currently on the ship back to Winterfell.

    The Mountain
    When Jaime challenges Cersei, she implicitly threatens to have The Mountain (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson) kill Jaime. However, Jaime calls her bluff and leaves King’s Landing. The Mountain remains with Cersei.

    Varys
    Varys (Conleth Hill) attended the negotiations with Cersei in the Dragonpit and is traveling with Jon and Daenerys back to Winterfell.

    Jorah Mormont
    With Sam’s help, Jorah (Iain Glen) cures his Dragonscale. He accompanies Jon first on his mission beyond the Wall to secure a wight and then to King’s Landing to negotiate with Cersei. He is currently sailing back to Winterfell.

    Melisandre
    On Dragonstone, Melisandre (Carice van Houten) tells Varys that she must return to Westeros because her fate is to die there. That’s the last time she appears in season 7.

    Euron Greyjoy
    Euron says during the meeting in the Dragonpit that he is going to return to the Iron Islands and wait out the war away from the White Walkers since they can’t swim. Cersei later reveals to Jaime that Euron is in fact procuring soldiers from the Golden Company for her.

    The Hound
    After threatening his brother, The Mountain, and demonstrating the Wight’s abilities to Cersei, The Hound (Rory McCann) sails to Winterfell.

    Bronn
    Bronn (Jerome Flynn), leading a group of Lannister soldiers, greets Tyrion, Jon and their allies in King’s Landing and escorts them to the Dragonpit. Tyrion offers to pay Bronn to join their side, and Bronn declines. Bronn and Podrick leave the Dragonpit before the meeting begins.

    Tormund Giantsbane
    Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) is guarding Eastwatch when the Night King orders the ice dragon to destroy the wall. But a recent trailer for the final season revealed that he did indeed survive the attack, though it is unclear how.

    Gendry
    When Jon’s forces are overwhelmed beyond the Wall, Gendry (Joe Dempsie) runs back to Eastwatch to send a raven to Daenerys. He collapses before the wall and conveys the message to Davos.

    Yara Greyjoy
    Yara is captured by her uncle, Euron Greyjoy, and paraded through the streets of King’s Landing. She is taken away by guards to be imprisoned. Theon rallies the Ironborn to try to save her.

    Grey Worm
    After leading the Unsullied to King’s Landing to ensure a peaceful parlay between the two queens and intimidate Cersei, Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) returns with Daenerys’ army to Dragonstone.

    Missandei
    After the meeting with Cersei, Missendei (Nathalie Emmanuel) sails with Daenerys to Winterfell.

    Daario Naharis
    Daenerys asks Daario (Michiel Huisman) and the Second Sons to stay in Meereen to keep the peace while a democratic government is established.

    Jaqen H’ghar
    Arya traps Jaqen (Tom Wlaschiha) and points her sword at him in the House of Black and White. He allows her to leave while also taking back her identity as Arya Stark.

    Beric Dondarrion
    Beric (Richard Dormer) is guarding Eastwatch when the Night King arrives with his dragon. In the Game of Thrones season 8 trailer, it’s revealed that he lived to fight another day.

    Meera Reed
    After bringing Bran to Winterfell, Meera (Ellie Kendrick) tells Bran that she has to return to her family home, Greywater Watch, before the White Walkers arrive. She observes that the real Bran died in the cave of the Three-Eyed Raven
    and then leaves.

    Podrick Payne
    Podrick (Daniel Portman) reunites with Bronn and Tyrion at King’s Landing during the meeting between Daenerys and Cersei. He leaves the Dragonpit with Bronn but presumably accompanies Brienne back to Winterfell after the tête-à-tête.

    Gilly
    Gilly (Hannah Murray) travels from Old Town to Winterfell with Sam in order to tell Jon about his true parentage.

    Lyanna Mormont
    Lyanna (Bella Ramsey) stays behind with Sansa when Jon Snow goes to Dragonstone to appeal to Daenerys.

    Ellaria Sand
    After Euron captures Ellaria (Indira Varma), Cersei imprisons Ellaria with her daughter, Tyene (Rosabell Laurenti Sellers). Cersei poisons Tyene and tells Ellaria that she will be kept alive to watch her daughter die and decompose.

    Qyburn
    Qyburn (Anton Lesser) tells Cersei she is pregnant before the meeting in the Dragonpit. He accompanies her to that meeting and examines the Wight that
    Jon Snow brings there. He presumably accompanies Cersei back to the castle afterward.

    Robin Arryn
    Robin, following the advice of Littlefinger, sends the Vale armies to help his cousin Sansa fight the Boltons. It’s unclear who is counseling Robin now that
    Littlefinger is dead.

    Hot Pie
    Hot Pie (Ben Hawkey) tells Arya that Jon Snow defeated the Boltons at the Battle of the Bastards, and Arya decides to travel home to her family rather
    than to King’s Landing to kill Cersei. She warns Hot Pie to be careful, and he says he’s a survivor.

    Eddison Tollett
    We last saw Jon Snow’s longtime companion Edd (Ben Crompton) greeting Meera and Bran on the Northern side of the Wall. It looks like he’s alive and
    leading the Night’s Watch, according to a recent trailer for the final season.
