How the Movies Have

Unless you live under a rock, you have the Marvel movies are. They are some of th popular movies and series of all time! Whether that’s Th Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic 4, any Spiderman, and so many more, they are all Marvel. All these movies and shows have branched from the comics, the comics being started by American publisher Martin Goodman in 1939. Stan Lee was assigned by Goodman to create a superhero team in 1956 when DC comics started getting popular with their heroes like Flash and the Justice League. Lee worked with his characters, making them heroic and amazing heroes, but still showing their imperfections and flawed humanity. Having these characters that we know and love now being turned into movies and shows was amazing! From 2008, the first official Marvel movie Iron Man, to 2019 with Endgame, was the golden age of Marvel. With many characters dying, there had to be new superheroes to step up and carry on the Marvel franchise, but the fans have not responded as well to these new movies. Many suspect

it’s because of Stan Lee’s passing and not being there to help make sure it’s accurate. It could also be due that most Marvel movie producers/writers only do a few movies and dont stick around, causing the difference in most of the movies. Most hated Marvel movies according to “azcetral” are Ant-man and the : Quantumania, Captian America: Brave New , and The Marvels. Which are all new movies or st part of a series .

The viral internet meme “67" has taken social media by storm but most people don’t really know what it means.

HISTORY

The numbers paired in a sing song tone goes all the way back to December 2024, when artist Skrilla released his song “Doot Doot” the famous line he rapped in that song is “6-7 I just bipped right on the highway.” The meme continued until Feburuary, until it abrubtly stopped. Then in June the saying came back stronger than ever with adults talking about it now.

EFFECT ON MT

The meme has also taken over MTMS with even teachers ”fining” students at the end of the year for how many times they say the numbers together The term flooded TikTok — the app currently shows 1.1 million related videos and made its way into everyday texts and slang around the school.

What’s In YOUR Bag?

What’s In YOUR Bag?

From crumpled homework to mystery snacks, the contents of a school bag can say a lot about the person carrying it. While students might stash earbuds and energy drinks, teachers often juggle lesson plans, coffee thermoses, and an occasional stress ball. We took a peek inside the bags of both students and a teacher to find out what they carry and what these items suggest about their school experience.

You may notice that most of the leaves are green in the summer and spring, but how do they change in the fall? In the fall, leaves get less sunlight as the seasons change and get less chlorophyll, which causes the leaves to break down.

Article by: Lydia Hale

The lack of chlorophyll that the leaves get reveals the yellow and orange color that were already in the leaves. Darker leaves means a chemical change, and sugar gets stuck in the leaves and makes new colors. How fast or how much the leaves change depends on the location around the world and the temperature At some point, where the leaf is attached to the tree, a layer of cells develop and serves the tissue that support the leaf.

Temperatures above freezing in certain places will favor anthocyanin formation that produces bright reds in maple leaves, but early frost can make the red not so bright. Rain or overcast can tend to increase the fall colors of the leaves. Not all trees produce the same colors of leaves, the type of color each tree produces is because of the envionment, sunlight, and temperature which determains which colors emerge.
