No Post-Credits Scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron
Of all the MCU post-credit stingers, it's hard to top the non-epic epicness of the shawarma scene at the end of Marvel's The Avengers. Which is partly why director Joss Whedon and Marvel head Kevin Feige decided not to include a post-credit tag at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Yep.
In a recent interview with EW.com, Whedon explained that he and Feige tried to come up with something but ultimately went the other way. "It didn't seem to lend itself in the same way, and we wanted to be true to what felt right," he said. "The first rule of making a sequel is take the best moments and do something else. Don't do the Indiana Jones gun trick again differently. Just go somewhere else. Don't try to hit the same highs, because people will sense it."
7 Ways to Kill Deadpool
Marvel has been heavily promoting the fact that Deadpool will be dying in tomorrow's Deadpool #45 -- the 250th Deadpool comic ever published -- but the thing is, from what we've seen in the comics thus far, Deadpool is really impervious to death.
Whether due to an unfairly prodigious healing factor or the result of a Mad Titan’s jealous curse, Wade’s ability to survive the non-survivable cements his status as the cockroach of the Marvel U. However, following the recent demise of another nigh invulnerable mutant (RIP), we’ve come to realize that maybe it’s not that he can’t die — it’s that no one has ever done it right.

Lava Tubes Large Enough to House Cities May Exist on the Moon
Lava tubes on the Moon large enough to house cities could be structurally stable enough for human habitats, according to a theoretical study presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
It’s been long proposed that volcanic structures could be used in future missions and industrial operations as manned lunar bases. The empty tubes are ideal candidates to host self-enclosed habitats as they reduce the construction needed for heavy shielding, provide environmental control and protection from cosmic radiation and meteorite impacts.
