Today's UPDATES

This is Breaking News: I'm headed out to see Spider-Man: Homecoming, the latest installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as you can never get enough Marvel movies these days. This will be special for me because as I get to see Peter Parker in his early days in High School and there's no telling what else I'm going to see in this movie, but I can tell it's going to be amazing from beginning to end. Now with the 2017 MLB All-Star Game taking place in Miami tonight, it's only fitting that for our MaxSports topic, the Home Run Derby last night. New York Yankees newcomer Aaron Judge won the Derby scoring the most runs in the first round with twenty-three, then in the semi finals he scored thirteen, and in the final round Aaron Judge defeated Minnesota Twins player Miguel Sanó 11-10. Something about this makes last night's Home Run Derby the most diverse one there is and how the rules and bracket work it makes it even more fun. Now there's only one way that the MLB can top off what it did last night and that's with the All-Star Game tonight with the winning league will get home field advantage in the World Series later this year. So the being said, let's take a look at the results.

For our #TwitterTrend story, we're going to discuss how the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand, and it's worthy noting that it will continue this way into the Cable TV Network Freeform, which is owned by ABC and Disney. This network for younger viewers is bringing in two MCU series next year in 2018, with Cloak & DAgger and the other being the New Warriors. Yesterday, the full cast of the New Warriors was revealed by many reports and people everywhere on Twitter have been clamoring about it, when I say it, I could not believe my eyes. I fought the cast would be much younger than expected, but this seems a bit much, on the cast we have Milana Vayntrub as the famous Squirrel Girl, Derek Theler as Mister Immortal, Jeremy Tardy as Night Thrasher, Calum Worthy as Speedball, Matthew Moy as Microbe and Kate Comer as Debrii. It will be very interesting as to how Freeform will bring Marvel into its forum, the big question is: Can their series be just as good as the ones on ABC and Netflix? Well we will have to wait next year to find out, in the meantime, let's get to the tweets.

If you reading this right now, I am probably gone to see Spider-Man: Homecoming, I'll be back tomorrow to talk about the movie. We all wonder how this movie will do in theaters and it didn't take us long to answer that question, Spider-Man: Homecoming has received a 93% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes and has made $256.6 million dollars at the box office. If that weren't enough, before the movie was released last Friday, we received word that the first four minutes of the movie can be seen online as a "Civil War Vlog" which takes through when Peter Parker found himself caught in the middle of the Avengers Fight back in Captain America: Civil War. Now if you wish to wait until you see the movie to check out the first four minutes, then that's all right, but if you choose to see them now, then WebChoice has provided the video for you along with a little news from IGN.
