Another thing I love to do as a huge fan of superheroes is create merchandise to show off my favorite characters.
My aunt owns a Cricut machine, so the options to create whatever you want is endless.
I got my creative juices flowing and decided to create some merchandise from “Wandavision,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” and “Daredevil.”
My cousin and I have a very similar relationship to the character of Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier and Steve Rodgers/Captain America.
I thought something fun to showcase our relationship and friendship would be to make Captain America and Winter Soldier t-shirts.
I tie-dyed two shirts inspired by Cap and Bucky and then made a logo to put on the shirt of them with their iconic line “I’m with you till the end of the line.”
I’m also a Starbucks lover so I bought some of the reusable cups from the stores and put my own designs on them.
The first cup I made was inspired by “Wandavision.” One of my favorite characters is Vision and I absolutely feel in love with the quote he told Wanda in Episode 8- “What is Grief, if not Love Persevering?” The front of the cup matches the icon Vision drew on a map when Vision and Wanda were looking for their forever home to start a family.
The other cup I created was based off of one of my newest favorite superheroes-Daredevil. I started watching the show on Netflix and absolutely fell in love with the characters of Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson. Foggy and Matt have been best friends since college and have always talked about starting a law firm together. Foggy didn’t know the Spanish word for lawyer (“Abagado”) and accidentally called them “avocados.” The joke became a running gag between the two best friends and now they are two of the best “Avaocados at Law” in Hell’s Kitchen.

I’m the type of person who loves to showcase whatever types of fandoms I’m in.
A couple years ago, a girl named Leslie Kay came up with idea of “Disney bounding” for fans of Disney.
“Disney bounding” is when someone creates inspired outfits by certain characters based off of color schemes or style of the characters.
Most of these outfits can easily be made from items in your closet.
I thought a fun task would be to see what superheroes I could come up with from items in my closet.
Spider-Man:Everyone’s favorite web-slinger follows along the lines of a red and blue color scheme. I channelled my inner Peter Parker and decided to follow my outfit and the same fashion as his suit. I wore a blue flannel with a red cami as an accent for the top. On the bottom, I wore navy blue pants that match his suit with red converse that matches his shoes. I added my glasses as a little extra to match the nerdy side of Spider-Man.
Nightwing: Inspired by dink Grayson, Nightwing’s outfit has a very simple blue and black color scheme. I personally own quite a bit of blue so finding the right shade of blue was the real challenge. I decided to wear black leggings, converse and cardigan to match the black of his suit. I added a blue cami and scrunchie as accents to match the blue bird on his chest.
Winter Soldier: Making a comeback from serving in World War 2, Bucky Barnes finally got to experience what it’s like to be in modern society. Winter Soldier was such a fun outfit to create. I wore a grey sweater to match his signature arm along with black leggings and combat boots to show the historical background in the outfit. Special shoutout to two of my closest friends for the addition of the leather jacket. For the final touch, I wore a red scrunchie to accent the red star on his arm.
Batman: Straight from Gotham City, the next superhero I was inspired to find an outfit was based off of Batman. Similar to Nightwing, Batman also follows a very basic color scheme. This was the easiest outfit to make because I wore black leggings, converse and cardigan to match the black of his suit. I added a yellow t-shirt to match the symbol of his bat in the center of his suit.
Daredevil: Based off of one of my personal favorite superheroes, I did an outfit inspired by the “Man with no fear” or otherwise known as “The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.” The character of Daredevil has a strong red color scheme with some accents of black, so that was the main focus of the outfit. I wore a red and black flannel and red leggings to embody the suit. The black converse matched the same color as his shoes. The black cami underneath serves as more toward the accents of his suit. To top off the outfit, I added a red scrunchie and red sunglasses to represent his cowl.
Kid Flash: To match “The Fastest Man Alive,” Wally West aka Kid Flash was one of the easiest outfits to create from my closet. His suit follows a simple yellow top and red bottom. I matched the same outfit as he did. I also decided to make this look a little more sporty than my other ones because Kid Flash is a runner. I personally don’t own any yellow shoes so I added the white converse as a neutral tone to bring the outfit together.
Wanda Maximoff: The outfit I inspired my look on is from the Scarlett Witch herself in her first MCU movie- “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” This look can follow along the lines of “disney bounding” but could also be used for cosplay. To bring Wanda to life, I simply used a black dress similarly to the one she is wearing in the movie. To represent the red jacket, I added a red cardigan to the dress. Finally, I brought the piece together by wearing some knee high boots very similar to the knee highs she also wears in the movie.

As a MCU fan, you know about there are so many different ways to experience the current 22 movies the cinematic universe has to offer.
Due to the recent pandemic, Marvel hasn’t been able to release any new
movies in the theaters. So during this time, I decided to rewatch my favorite heroes in action to relive some of the best moments!
One of the unique viewing options (and my personal favorite) is watching all the movies in chronological order.
As someone who has seen most of the movies in release order, this was something that I had always wanted to do. Thanks to Disney+, I was able to conquer this task.
One of my favorite things about watching the movies in chronological order, rather than release date is how seamless the movies follow one another. In release order, the movies tend to skip different times and it’s a bit harder to figure out how things flow together in the timeline.
The mid and end credit scenes also play into the telling of the story. Each of those scenes elaborates a little bit more of the story and usually serves as a sneak peek for what is to come.
The adventure begins in 1942 with Steve Rogers as he becomes the hero known as Captain America. Jump forward to the 1990s and meet Carol Danvers and her journey to become the infamous Captain Marvel.
The story continues with the movie that started the entire MCU as you follow Tony Stark as he creates one of the famous heroes in the movie “Iron Man.”
At the end, you finally reach the big finale that every single movie before it was led up too. “Avenger: Endgame” is the three hour movie event where all the superheroes you grew to love come together for one big epic adventure to finally defeat Thanos.
While there are so many different ways that you can enjoy the movies whether you watch them in release order, phase order or chronological order, you can still experience the action and stories that the MCU has to offer just the same.
This weekend marked the first conclusion for Marvel in the start to their “Phase 4” of the cinematic universe. In honor of the finale coming out on Friday, I celebrated by having a viewing party along with my family. We made a […]
This weekend marked the first conclusion for Marvel in the start to their “Phase 4” of the cinematic universe.
In honor of the finale coming out on Friday, I celebrated by having a viewing party along with my family.
We made a snack inspired by the show and found a recipe on Marvel.com for a drink that was also inspired by the show.
In the very first episode, “Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience,” Wanda and Vision have guests over for dinner. The only problem is, they have never had to cook dinner before. Wanda decided to prepare a classic for their guests- Breakfast for dinner.
We decided to make toast and waffles in the same style that Wanda did as she served her guests while playing the song “Yakety Yak” by the The Coasters (also featured in the first episode).
Inspired by the 60s, Marvel.com created a recipe for Sokovian Iced Tea (Sokovia is the country where Wanda is from). All that the drink called for was Iced Tea and Lemonade powder with some cherry Kool-Aid mix.
The drink was a success and everyone was ready to witness the grand finale from the past eight weeks. It was a fun way to celebrate the show along with my family.
If you are interested in trying the Sokovian Iced Tea for yourself, you can find the recipe here: https://www.marvel.com/articles/culture- lifestyle/wandavision-sokovian-iced-tea-recipe
