As NC sports continue to improve, there remains a chance that the sports teams could hit a ceiling and lose their progress. A proposal to break through that ceiling seems almost insane but could solidify glory for all athletes. Through selecting and sacrificing one NC student, the athletic department could see a near quadrupling in state title appearances and victories.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), produces movies yearly; with epic, action-packed superhero and sci-fi films, the franchise holds an important spot in the hearts of all its fans. However, after the release of “Endgame,” a pivotal moment in the line of films, the original canon storyline closed — leading Marvel to produce lackluster films. While original Marvel movies “The Avengers” and “Iron Man" bombed the box office with massive earnings and shining reviews, newer Marvel films use unoriginal and worn-out ideas and tropes. Ultimately, the lack of creativity turns Marvel movies away from masterpiece status and toward epic failure.
