Sophomore Boris Ortiz, describes the process he went through to get at least one ticket on opening day.
“The tickets released during school time so I had to get my ticket during lunch time,” Ortiz said. “I managed to get a ticket for a late showtime, so once I got home I made sure to get another ticket for a Saturday event. I did not want to miss out on anything.”
After the first wave of people saw the film, the online community was flooded with spoilers. Social Media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. Others took to the public to shout out spoilers. A man in Hong Kong was reportedly hurt after he decided to reveal spoilers to the line forming for the next showing of Endgame.
The people in the line became angry with the man and it is known that he required medical attention. A single photo is circulating around the web that shows someone tending to the man’s wounds.
The incident occurs after the film directors, the Russo brothers, ask fans to not share any spoilers. Was the outburst of violence justified?
Marvel fan Daniel Valdez, 12, shares his opinion on the incident that occured in Hong Kong.
“At the end of the day it is just a movie,” Valdez says. “Although the situation might have been annoying, no one should have gotten hurt.”
After watching the film on opening night, there was differing opinions on the outcome of the film. Most students agree however, that even if they were satisfied with the ending, no one deserved to get the ending spoiled.
Nicole de la Fuente,12, shares her opinion on people who spoil movies for others.
“It is not fair to anyone,” De la Fuente said. “People spend years on the production and people spend years waiting. For someone to spoil something in seconds is not cool. ”
On Monday, the official end to the spoiler ban by the Russo Brothers was lifted. Now everyone can speak freely about the ending as they wish. The franchise continues to break numerous records and continues to be a popular topic to discuss among fans. Avengers Endgame represents the most recent action happening within the Marvel Universe, and allegedly the last of the saga.

Coming into Newspaper in the beginning of the year I had no clue who was going to be in the class. It was a game of trying to make new friends and finding out who I’d spend the rest of the year with. That’s when I noticed senior Francesca Ortiz and decided that she seemed friendly and a good person to talk to. I have never been more correct in my life. Francesca is a very kind and amiable person. She has a very good sense of humor and we quickly became good friends. As the year progressed I soon found out that Francesca has a love for fashion and all things shopping. She has vast knowledge over the fashion industry and is always up to date. If you ever want to go high end shopping Francesca is your person because she knows the best spots. Going out to eat is also another one of Francesca’s favorite pastimes. Her go to is either Korean BBQ or a nice bowl of pho soup. Above all Francesca adores traveling to Los Angeles and exploring the city. Getting to know Francesca has been a wonderful experience and I am very glad to call her my friend. I know that Newspaper won’t be the last journey we embark on together and I can’t wait to see what the future entails.
