Marvel- Marvel advertises the most exciting commercials for their movies. To top it off their movie are even better. Marvel movies keep me on the edge of my seat.
Best Products 2015
Apple watch-The apple watch made about a $1 billion in the year it came out. Apple's earnings for the Apple Watch has surpassed Apple's other inventions, including: iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other Apple products.
2k16-The best version of the whole 2k franchise. 2k16 is the most realistic game out of the whole series, showing the high graphic detail and seeing the players sweat. It makes you want to compete against other players and want to be the best player.
Worst Products of 2015
Hoverboard- although the Hoverboard is a good idea, the actual product is terrible. The Hoverboard is unsafe and actually a danger because it catches fire. There are tons of video about the unsafe invention.
Gun-shaped iPhone case-this new phone case is a terrible idea because gun violence is at an all-time high. Kids today already think guns are awesome, now they can have a phone case in the shape of a gun. They'll bring it to school and get suspended or even expelled and ruin their life in the future.
