Whatever It Takes (to Get Avengers Tickets)
Tickets for Avengers: Endgame can be yours, right now. On Tuesday, Marvel Studios finally made tickets for the next Avengers movie available for purchase.
It was a long wait, but “True Believers” are finally getting their tickets for Endgame. Some of them, anyway. Due to the demand and sheer volume, Marvel fans on social media expressed relief that they got through the long queue, or major frustration that they didn’t. As comedian Daniel Howell tweeted, “successfully booking tickets for endgame was more challenging than the Avengers actually defeating Thanos.” Read more.
What’s Next: Avengers: Endgame will be released in theaters on April 26.

Welcome Back to The Twilight Zone
You click on these links with the mouse of imagination. Beyond it is a review from another dimension. You’re moving into an article of both shadow and substance.

We Got Like, Urghp, an Update, Morty
Ricky and Morty Season 4 is going great if you ask series co-creator Justin Roiland, who tweeted an update that it’s not only happening but that it’s “amazing.” (Snuffles, the family dog, might also make a return in the new season.) A new commercial, unrelated to the new season, was also released by Adult Swim on March 28. See Roiland’s updates here.

It’s like Bird Box but without sound. That’s the best way we can describe Netflix’s The Silence, a new horror movie that will begin streaming on April 10. Like A Quiet Place, we’re pulled into a world ravaged by monsters who track victims by sound. The film stars Stanley Tucci and Kiernan Shipka. See the trailer here.
