How Many Times the Infinity Stones Have Been Mentioned in the MCU
Keeping track of the Infinity Stones is no easy task. From Asgard to Midgard, from Xandar to Vormir, the stones have been hidden, their presence mainly unknown to the galaxy except to a select few until it became everyone's top priority to stop Thanos from collecting them.
So which was the stone that caused the most chatter? We tallied up every mention of each Infinity Stone up through Avengers: Infinity War:
The first stone to appear in the MCU was the Tesseract. The Red Skull pulled it out of a church in Norway in Captain America: The First Avenger. The second stone to be seen was the Mind Stone. Encased in a shell and used by Loki to manipulate the minds of men, he created havoc and chaos in New York.
Fortnite’s Volcano Erupts and Destroys Tilted Towers
Today's Fortnite in-game event took players inside an interdimensional vault and saw the eruption of the giant volcano, resulting in the destruction of the long standing Tilted Towers.
A countdown appeared over the recently discovered vault at Loot Lake yesterday afternoon. After 24 hours, players gathered around the giant hatch and watched as it twisted opened, revealing a glowing purple light. Gliding into the vault transported players into a strange void where six tall pillars depicting previously removed weapons stood tall.
Players enthusiastically begging to bring the Drum Gun back moments before complaining it's overpowered.

Comparing the Finales: Endgame and the Battle of Winterfell
Warning: Full spoilers follow for Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones’ “The Long Night.”
Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones’ big Battle of Winterfell episode, “The Long Night,” had a lot to live up to. Expectations were high about how these cultural phenomena would bring long gestating storylines to a close. The pressure on both to provide fitting conclusions to the Infinity Saga and the Night King’s foreboding threat, respectively, meant that there was the potential that we would be left underwhelmed by their endings.
And now, with Endgame and “The Long Night” out in the wild, the question must be asked: Did these much-anticipated tales deliver on the protracted plot threads that have been years in the making? Or did they not justify the hype that surrounded them?

5 Consequences of Endgame You Didn’t Even Consider
Warning: Full spoilers for Avengers: Endgame follow...
Losing half of the world's population, including wildlife and other elements that would be absolutely crucial to ecosystems and the environment as a whole, is a catastrophe for sure.

After our remaining heroes in Avengers: Endgame learn the Infinity Stones are gone, and that there's no way (discovered yet) to bring back everyone who's been erased, the story jumps us five years into the forlorn future where the world is still in a stark and uncomfortable grieving period.
