I cant wait for the post secret wars reboot. The only thing I'm checking for is Spiderman and X-Men although I'm cautiously optimistic about X-Men. They are in the process of reshooting captain america 4 because the action scenes didn't cut it in a test screening. The problem is they are tried hard to appeal to the casual general audience and abandoning the fans who know these characters.
You know what they say about trying to please everyone
This photo shows the Statue of Liberty seen from the torch. The torch has been closed to the public since 1916 when it was damaged in an explosion caused by German spies.
The event is known as the Black Tom explosion, which happened on July 30, 1916. At that time, the United States had not yet joined World War 1, but they were selling weapons to the Allied powers.
Germany sent saboteurs to destroy production lines and supplies. Around 100,000 pounds (45,000 kg) of TNT were stored on a barge on the night of the explosion. Guards noticed small fires and left, fearing an explosion.
At 2:08 am, the first and biggest explosion occurred. It was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, equivalent to 5.0 and 5.5 on the Richter scale. The blast was felt in Philadelphia and shattered windows in Times Square.
The explosion caused $20,000,000 in damages and claimed four lives. This incident turned public opinion against Germany and eventually led the United States to join World War 1 on April 16th, 1917.

The lady circled in red was Lucy Higgs Nichols. She was born into slavery in Tennessee, but during the Civil War she managed to escape and found her way to 23rd Indiana Infantry Regiment which was encamped nearby. She stayed with the regiment and worked as a nurse throughout the war.
After the war, she moved north with the regiment and settled in Indiana, where she found work with some of the veterans of the 23rd. She applied for a pension after Congress passed the Army Nurses Pension Act of 1892 which allowed Civil War nurses to draw pensions for their service.
The War Department had no record of her, so her pension was denied. Fifty-five surviving veterans of the 23rd petitioned Congress for the pension they felt she had rightfully earned, and it was granted.
The photograph shows Nichols and other veterans of the Indiana regiment at a reunion in 1898. She died in 1915 and is buried in a cemetery in New Albany, Indiana.
In 1863, Civil War veteran Jacob Miller was shot in the forehead at Brock Field at Chikamauga, Georgia.
He had the following to say about it:
"When I came to my senses some time after I found I was in the rear of the confederate line.
So not to become a prisoner I made up my mind to make an effort to get around their line and back on my own side.
I got up with the help of my gun as a staff, then went back some distance, then started parallel with the line of battle.
I suppose I was so covered with blood that those that I met, did not notice that I was a Yank, (at least our Major, my former captain did not recognize me when I met him after passing to our own side).
I suffered for nine months then I got a furlough home to Logansport and got Drs. Fitch and Colman to operate on my wound.
They took out the musket ball. After the operation a few days, I returned to the hospital at Madison and stayed there till the expiration of my enlistment, Sept. 17, 1864.
Seventeen years after I was wounded a buck shot dropped out of my wound and thirty one years after two pieces of lead came out.
Some ask how it is I can describe so minutely my getting wounded and getting off the battle field after so many years.
My answer is I have an everyday reminder of it in my wound and constant pain in the head, never free of it while not asleep.
The whole scene is imprinted on my brain as with a steel engraving. I haven’t written this to complain of any one being in fault for my misfortune and suffering all these years, the government is good to me and gives me $40.00 per month pension."

REMEMBERING JULIUS "SHO'NUFF" CARRY
Julius John Carry III (March 12, 1952 – August 19, 2008) was an American actor. He made his acting debut in the 1979 film Disco Godfather starring Rudy Ray Moore. He played Sho'Nuff in the 1985 martial arts film The Last Dragon. At 6'5" he was perfect for the part. He also acted in the films World Gone Wild and The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh.
Carry appeared primarily in numerous television roles, including Dr. Abraham Butterfield on Doctor, Doctor and the bounty hunter Lord Bowler in The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. He also appeared on shows such as The Jeffersons, Benson, Murphy Brown, Family Matters, Hill Street Blues, 227, A Different World, The Hughleys, Moesha, Cosby, Half & Half, Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place, and Boy Meets World.
Carry grew up in the Lake Meadows neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Carry attended Hales Franciscan High School, where, at age 15, he joined the Spartan Players, an acting group. He discovered a love of acting with the group, performing in plays such as Hamlet and West Side Story. After touring the country with the Spartan Players, Carry joined the Chicago Actors Repertory Company, performing with them for four years.
He attended Quincy College, but only for one year. His family encouraged him to move to California and live with his uncle in Los Angeles to "get back on [his] feet."
Once in Los Angeles, Carry entered Loyola Marymount University, where he received a bachelor's degree in film and TV production.
He stayed at the university, and completed a master's degree in communication arts.
In the TV series The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. with Bruce Campbell, which aired in 1993 and 1994, Carry played the part of Brisco's one-time rival and fellow bounty hunter Lord Bowler (a.k.a. James Lonefeather), who then became Brisco's best friend and sidekick. Carry also portrayed the main villain Sho'nuff in the film The Last Dragon.
Carry's final appearance as an actor was in the season one episode "Eating The Young" on the CBS series The Unit in 2006. He had also guest starred on three episodes of the ABC/Disney sitcom Boy Meets World, once as a college professor and later as Sgt. Alvin Moore, father of series regular Angela Moore (Trina McGee). As a result of Carry's death, the character of Sgt. Moore is revealed to have died as well (off-screen) in the years between Boy Meets World and the second season of its sequel series Girl Meets World, which aired on Disney Channel.
Unfortunately, Carry died at his home in Studio City California on August 19, 2008 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56. Carry is survived by his wife, Naomi; a brother, Ronald; and his mother, the Rev. Helen Carry.
Taimak, who played Leroy Green in The Last Dragon movie, shared fond memories of the man who had everybody saying the classic line, ”Who’s the baddest mofo in town?” Because Julius was so committed to his role as ‘Sho-nuff,’ he reportedly created tension with Taimak.
According to Taimak, Julius would walk around in costume on the set all the time, never coming out of character. To create authentic tension, Taimak said Julius would walk up to people and stare them down as only ‘Sho’nuff’ could. He would apparently rip stuff off the wall to maintain his mean persona.
In a video, Taimak shared how he often laughed at Carry III’s antics to which Julius responded. He also said that Julius constantly pushed his buttons to create anger between them because Julius knew that Taimak didn’t have any animosity toward him in real life, so to get the best out of him on film, Julius created tension on set, with the hopes that it would eventually translate on camera.
