An Outlet: Part 3

27 May, 2018 - Avengers Infinity War

I woke up at 8AM today. Impressive.

There was a reason for it tho. Alex and I finally went for the Avenger Infinity War movie! We went to the theater by Alex's two wheeler and reached about half an hour early. The movie was supposed to start at 11:00AM.

The mall which housed the theatre was practically empty and there were very few people entering the theatre, which I was glad for. Because we noticed some walls full of movie posters and we spent quite a lot of time taking pictures of an alongside those walls.

We saw the movie and..... was it just me or did everything go too fast? I mean the movie was brilliant but maybe I expected a little more gore from the climax? I guess disintegration could mean that those super heroes actually died. But for me, unless I see gruesome death (like Loki's), I see a chance of them coming back which then does not make their 'disintegration' remain thaaaaaat shocking. 

Anyways the people who died:

Heimdall
Loki
Gamora
Vision

The people who got distintegrated:

Black Panther
Spider-Man
Doctor Strange
Bucky
Falcon
Wanda
Star-Lord
Groot
Drax
Mantis
Maria Hill
Nick Fury

People who survived:

Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hulk
Black Widow
James Rhodes
Rocket
Nebula
Okoye
M'baku

After the movie, we went to eat burgers at a (now) popular burger joint. I went for a double patty classic chicken burger while Alex ordered a two times bigger chicken and bacon one (He loves bacon a bit too much. He reacts to bacon the same way I react to BTS). The burgers looked and tasted DELICIOUS! I'm definitely going to visit that place another time. Probably when I have the money to spend on it.

Speaking of BTS, I saw BTS' Burn The Stage EP 6. Ofcourse, I found a YouTube video on it and even though it skipped quite a lot of parts, I wanted to watch it so I did.

So in this episode, RM opens up about the time they had to apparently cancel a show in Beijing in 2015 because of his health problems and how guilty he felt thereafter. There was a point where he said "But I don't like criticisms". That got me. One reason is because yes, I have that problem too. But with them, it's that they are global super stars now and even when they weren't, they were still Idols and were in the public eye. And when you are in the public eye, you're bound to get criticisms. Even if you know this fact, it still hurts. And it must have hurt RM too. He is just brave to continue what he is doing despite the criticisms.

Then we got to see some of their fun times which was great. RM and V seemed to have gone for a calm walk in a park by the beach and I'm quite happy to see that. I'm sure they must have opened up to each other when the camera wasn't on them. The four Js (Jungkook, Jin, Jhope, Jimin) on the other hand, went to the aquarium and played games in the gaming room and seemed to have an energetic time. Suga, however, felt comfortable going to a gadget store all by himself which is cool too.

After that, we hear Jungkook, Suga and Jhope talk about what they were confident in before their debut, what they got training for during their trainee days and their apprehensions in doing things they had never done before. Suga said that no one had expected them to be so famous and I've heard that quite a few times. But what I didn't know was Suga didn't want to be famous earlier. He just wanted to make money. I kind of get him tho. With the background that he comes from, making money was the priority, not being famous.

Towards the end, Jin said that he is happy and he wants to be positive and that makes me feel really great. I constantly need a reminder to be positive and I'll probably get that reminder from Jin.

We saw them practicing for their solo performance (each performance is different from one another and each of them is great!) and also tweaking their performance to fit the small stage.

I saw their recent 'Bangtan Content Guide's which showed the levels of being a BTS fan. It's safe to say, I've passed all levels. The levels are:

Level 0: Watching BTS Music Videos and listening to their other songs (this wasn't part of the video but you won't be interested in the next levels unless this one is complete)
Level 1: Follow BTS Social Media
Level 2: Watching BTS Social Media clips including BANGTAN Bombs and Dance Performances
Level 3: Watching BTS on Variety Shows especially on V App
Level 4: Watching BTS Festa which releases every year on their debut date, 13th June.

One good thing this has done is to confirm that I'm not missing out any type of content that BTS produces. Cause when I had just started getting into BTS in December last year and January this year, I had started watching all these compilation videos and each time I was like "ooh which video is this a part of?" or "Oh, BTS has this series as well?!"

But now I know it all.
