While everyone waits for the next blockbuster installment of The Avengers and for Marvel to give us all some official details, there’s no choice but to grasp at straws. 

Today, those straws came in the form of a Reddit thread that popped up (and was quickly deleted) that may have the info everyone desperately wants like a detailed description of the first trailer and the all-important title. Warning: Spoilers Ahead. 

That title, if the leak is to be believed, is Avengers: Annihilation and, let’s be honest, it could be better. Then again, considering Chris Evans and others are not signed on for more movies, Annihilation may prove to be appropriate. 

For the supposed details of that trailer, here’s a (rather long) description from the deleted thread. Whether it’s true or not, only time will tell but you can be sure everyone will be comparing this to the first official trailer from Marvel, whenever that finally drops.

Marvel Studios Logo appears. We get a glimpse of the Battle of New York from 2012 Avengers. Loki is shown looking shocked and baffled as he is on top of the Stark tower. There is a flash of a blue light as the camera pans back. (Cuts to black)

Next we see the Wakandan throne with M’Baku at the helm. He’s surrounded by his new kingsguard. (A mix of the hill tribe and Dora Milaje). Shuri and Banner are seen working on a new project in the lab. Black Widow, in full gear, is in Hawkeye’s family home from Age of Ultron. Basically everything is thrown all over the place and broken. Nat is studying some type of map with multiple photos and locations on it. A quick shot of Thanos is shown with a long sword, walking down an alleyway in New York City.

The next shot is a dark hooded figure with glowing eyes, aiming a bow and arrow before shooting towards the camera. (1-2 visuals of the Quantum Realm) Scott Lang (no suit) is shown running through a park dodging explosions. (Shot of Space) Thor and Valkyrie are aboard a Kree ship. Thor says: “If the stories are true, you’re our universe’s last hope. If such a thing even exists anymore”.

The next shot is an older, determined Tony Stark walking through the new SHIELD HQ’s (Avengers Facility in upstate New York). He’s in full SHIELD attire and carrying an orange briefcase. Banner (wearing spandex) is seen running from something, looking terrified. The next shot is Ant-Man appearing out of a flash of light and landing in a desolate place. We see it from his point of view from inside his helmet. He looks left to right and to his left again and says: “What in the-”. (Camera focuses on Vormir and its stars)

Next, a shot of Rocket and Nebula modifying some new weapons in the lab. Rocket says “When can we try this bad boy out?” They both smile at eachother and fist-bump. We get our first glimpse of Iron Man in his red and gold nanotech armor. Hulk falls from the sky and lands in front of him. Thanos, in full armor, smiles. Hulk smiles back.

The next shot is in Japan. War Machine, Nat, and Steve (in their full Avengers gear) are surrounded by The Yakuza. Hawkeye (Ronin) walks through everybody from behind them and approaches the Avengers. There’s an intense exchange of looks between Clint and Natasha (Next shot is at the Sanctum) Wong is communicating with Dr. Strange’s soul via portal. (Cuts to black)

Grey haired Tony Stark and Ant-Man are in a post-apocalyptic NYC. The screen flashes back and forth multiple times through multiple scenes. We see Captain Marvel floating with her fists on fire and her eyes lit up. Thanos in the soul stone with young Gamora screaming at him Loki and Thor fighting off Chitauri together. And Tony handing Steve a brand new shield in the Wakandan throne room. (Cuts back to Tony and Scott)

Tony opens the orange briefcase as Scott hands him an illuminated bracelet. Tony asks: “How?… Is this even possible?” (Iron Man and Ant-Man are shown travelling through the Quantum Realm. Tony and Scott are back in the battle of New York from 2012. The final shot before the title reveal is an Infinity Stone disappearing from Thanos’ damaged gauntlet. He abruptly gets up and puts on his armor. His face goes from extremely infuriated to a menacing smile.

Title reveal:Avengers: Annihilation

Stinger:The Hulk is training at the new SHIELD facility with Black Widow and Steve. Steve notices that Hulk has been training non-stop as of late, so he asks why. Hulk responds in Banner’s normal voice with: “My rematch is coming real soon, I can feel it!”

True fans who have been trying to sleuth out where Avengers 4 may bring our heroes post-Snap will likely find this at odds with the original comics. That’s no real surprise though, there are plenty of changes between the early 90s Infinity War plot and the MCU. 

Moreover, there seems to be some discrepancies with a previous reddit thread from the same guy who accurately leaked the plot of Avengers: Infinity War. You can check that thread out here and decide for yourself if this trailer matches that spoiler and, most importantly, if it all fits with what would make for a satisfying ending to this long and wild journey with Marvel. 

Creed II already has a trailer out in the wild (and it’s a good one), but oddly enough, we haven’t actually had that good a look at the bad guy, Viktor Drago.

Drago (Florian Munteanu) is the son of Rocky nemesis Ivan Drago, and from three new images released by MGM/Warner Bros. it’s obvious he’s every bit as jacked and intense as his father was in Rocky IV. 

Let’s remember what Creed II is about, specifically:

Life has become a balancing act for Adonis Creed. Between personal obligations and training for his next big fight, he is up against the challenge of his life. Facing an opponent with ties to his family’s past only intensifies his impending battle in the ring.

Rocky Balboa is there by his side through it all and, together, Rocky and Adonis will confront their shared legacy, question what’s worth fighting for, and discover that nothing’s more important than family. Creed II is about going back to basics to rediscover what made you a champion in the first place, and remembering that, no matter where you go, you can’t escape your history.

There might be something implied here about the sins of the father being visited on the son, but that would only work if Viktor Drago bites it at the end to pay for his father punching Adonis’s dad Apollo to death.

It’s probably going to be much more complicated than that. But it looks like Michael B. Jordan’s Adonis will definitely meet his match in this grim wall of pure muscle. 

Creed II is in theaters Nov. 21.

A few weeks ago, the FDA declared that vaping has officially reached “an epidemic proportion,” and announced that it’s shifting the focus of its anti-tobacco campaign from cigarettes to vaping.

But despite this, people literally can’t stop vaping. When they get bored of blowing Boston cream pie-flavored smoke rings, they find new flavors and new liquids to pour into their vapes, like Tide Pods (yes, the laundry detergent), and now, they’re moving on to “Healthcare Flavored” vape juices.

If you’re confused as to what a “Healthcare Flavored” vape liquid is, let me assure you that it’s exactly what it sounds like: Prescription drug flavors.

Apparently, a brand called HelloCig Electronic Technology Co., Ltd was cited for “unapproved new drug violations” by the FDA, because they put actual erectile dysfunction medications into the vape liquid, labeled it “E-Cialis” for blindingly obvious reasons, and sold it to interested vapers.

Of all the ways to treat erectile dysfunction, smoking Cialis is quite literally the last method I’d ever think of, so kudos to this company for their creativity. I mean, of all the ways to take a pill — including crushing it and dusting it over the affected area or absorbing it through osmosis in a pressurized bath — vaping it is one way most people probably wouldn’t think of.

Anyway, the FDA wrote in their warning:

Examples of claims for these products observed on the website that establish the intended uses of the products include, but may not be limited to, the following:

An advertisement for ‘E-Cialis HelloCig E-Liquid’ on Twitter and Tumblr state ‘Cialis’ with an image of the product and a partially undressed couple embracing. The caption states, “WOOOOW, Have you tried our E-Cialis? It is amazing LOL Check out: http://www.hellocig.com/e-cialis-hellocig-e-liquid-250ml.

Haha.

Aside from the Cialis flavor, HelloCig also sold one called “E-Rimonabant,” which is an anti-obesity medication that was banned for causing mental disorders. 

With both of these flavors, the FDA found traces of the actual medications in the vape juices, and both have been deleted from the site.

Furthermore, aside from being a weird way to take pharmaceutical medications, vaping isn’t even effective.

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a statement: “Prescription drugs are carefully evaluated and labeled to reflect the risks of the medications and their potential interactions with other medicines, and vaping active drug ingredients is an ineffective route of delivery and can be dangerous.

“There are no e-liquids that contain prescription drugs that have been proven safe or effective through this route of administration.”

The G-SHOCK brand is 35 this year, and in honor of its birthday, the popular watch brand has given collectors a glittering gift: the “Glacier Gold” version of its DW-5035E. 

This is just one new design G-SHOCK has put together. It’s also collaborated with designers and artists for other styles, turning out a rainbow of colors well worth a look from any serious collector.

The Glacier Gold DW 5035E combines tradition with up-to-date styling. Casio International has the details:

The commemorative models are based on the DW-5000, which features the iconic square shape of the G-SHOCK brand, the DW-5700, with its round shape that has been revived for the 35th anniversary of G-SHOCK, the GA-710, a popular big case model, and the GA-810, a mid-sized case model with three hands for optimum readability.

The back plate of all four models is engraved with a logo that identifies them as 35th anniversary models. The DW-5035E and DW-5735E feature a screw back, which gives the watches a hefty feel.

It’s a tasteful and unique design, icy clear resin with gold trim and the reliable construction expected from the brand. 

Clocking in at just $255 each, the G-SHOCK Glacier Gold is an ideally-priced choice perfect for formal and casual wear. Pick it up at a handful of stores or order online today.

The latest company to join the electric motorcycle landscape is Tarform, and their brand-new bike is pushing the limits with new technology, built with recyclable materials and 3D-printing on top of an all-electric powertrain.

The Tarform cafe racer is minimalist in style but packs a wallop on the road, doing 120mph for 90 miles on a single charge. That’s an impressive initial statistic for a bike, even if range estimates at a more realistic cruising speed would be useful for potential buyers. Still, there’s no denying the Tarform’s stunning good looks and need for speed.

Those good looks are courtesy of 3D printing done with recyclable biomaterials. The simplicity of the bike also allows for serious modular swapability, where parts can be easily changed and upgrades can be added later—so the Tarform’s open system allows for the owner to tinker and change things like a traditional, gas-powered ride.

The technology doesn’t stop there. Tarform has integrated sensors and AI to help keep the rider better informed on the road. That means notifications of surroundings on the bike’s bar-mounted heads-up display to help deal with blind spots caused by helmets and increase overall safety. There’s also app integration within the bike itself, allowing for notifications of charging and scheduled maintenance right on your phone.

If this looks like a lot of ambitious innovation for a company’s first effort, it is—but it’s being done by a company whose CEO comes with a Silicon Valley pedigree, so it’s easy to keep those expectations high. 

Pre-order the Tarform now for its release in late 2019.

Animal print may be having a huge resurgence in 2018, but the motif is a timeless one.And it’s for this reason that, when it comes to animal print outfits, there’s no discriminating who can or can’t wear one and there are no rules about how it must be done. 

With this in mind, we went looking all over for animal print outfits—evething that features leopard-, snake-, zebra-print, etc,—that have been seen on style stars from Beyoncé to Princess Diana to our very own Who What Wear editors. Some of us take a more-is-more, head-to-toe approach to the pattern, while others only stick to neutral colors and classic silhouettes. Whatever your preference, there’s no wrong way to try it for yourself. Scroll down and decide which approach feels most inspiring, then shop a few essential pieces to recreate it.

Next, take a look at the best outfits we’re recreating from Instagram that show off our fall-layering skills.

That headline promises a lot, so let’s get right into it! The $32 product in the title is underwear, specifically period underwear, and even more specifically Thinx underwear. The brand is not new (it launched in 2014), but I only took the plunge last April, and am so freaking fantastically in love with them, I decided it was necessary to spread the good word with a thorough review. I have bought friends pairs (and they’re not exactly cheap) for no other reason other than I wanted to change their lives too like some period panty fairy godmother.
