The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s biggest mistake in 11 years and 21 movies is humanizing Thanos as the villain in Avengers: Infinity War. The MCU kicked off more than a decade ago with Iron Man in 2008, and Marvel Studios is gearing up to release Avengers: Endgame, which is said to conclude the story the entire franchise has been telling so far.

After the conclusion of season 1 of The Mandalorian in December 2019, Disney+’s Marvel series WandaVision will be released earlier than expected, coming sometime in 2020 rather than 2021. Marvel fans had expected one show, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, during 2020 after producer Kevin Feige announced Marvel’s post-Avengers: Endgame slate, but the inclusion of WandaVision’s promotional still in a sizzle reel of Disney+’s 2020 offerings confirmed that two MCU shows will appear on the service this year....

The company beat analyst expectations, which had estimated that Q4 earnings per share would come in at $2.19. Revenue for the full year is also up 23% to $18.9 billion.

Mastercard’s full-year EPS was reported at $8....

While the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had as many 23 films released in the last decade and more, there have only been three full trilogies, of which Thor will become a tetralogy soon. The first two completed series were that of Iron Man and Captain America, and there’s been a constant argument over which was better. Since we probably won’t be having any more entries in either series, now is the best time to stack the two against each other to put the debate to an end....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE5wCBb7GwI&list=UUZPiiUjDlrBv4jiiRqk5dSA At its BUILD conference, Microsoft officially unveiled its personal assistant for Windows Phone named Cortana. The similarities to Siri are rather uncanny (and three years late) but in some areas, Siri could definitely learn from Cortana’s feature set. Cortana certainly does a good job of cloning Siri’s appearance and functionality. However, it goes further by allowing third-party applications to do tasks and answer questions as well. For instance, you can ask Cortana to add a film to your Hulu watch list with natural language....
