Twitter campaign wants Captain America, Bucky Barnes to be a couple

Fresh from an online crusade to give Elsa a girlfriend for Frozen 2, a similar demand has recently caught fire on Twitter.

Citing a report from TIME, the internet has now turned its attention to convincing Marvel to give one of its biggest stars— Steve Rogers a.k.a Captain America, a boyfriend.

The hashtag, #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend started trending on Tuesday, where fans expressed their desire for Rogers (Chris Evans) and his on-screen best bud, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), to partake in a romantic relationship.

The odd pairing was even playfully labeled by some netizens as ”Stucky”.

One Twitter user pointed out that having a ‘boyfriend’ in the movie is still pretty normal, considering there are powered individuals in the Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.

Meanwhile, Evans, who plays the man behind the shield, isn’t opposed to the idea of a romance between Bucky and Steve.

“That wouldn’t be so bad,” said Evans in an interview with E!Online. “It’s just never been part of my approach to the character. My subtext didn’t involve that dynamic. I think even with the first Captain America film you see how drawn he is to Peggy Carter. I thought I put all that in the final scene, but maybe I didn’t. Maybe I was just gazing at Sebastian too much.”

“Captain America: Civil War” is still playing in theaters, and has reportedly earned $347 million domestically, as of writing. Khristian Ibarrola

Google redeems spot as world’s most valuable company

Again, tech giant Google dethroned Apple as the ‘World’s Most Valuable Company’ by market capitalization.

Apple, Google’s competitor in the tech industry, experienced their shares sink below $90 (4,192 PHP) on Thursday, the first time since June 2014. As a result, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, overtook Apple on the same day.

Alphabet’s market valuation peaked at $498 billion (23.1 trillion PHP) , compared to Apple’s $494 billion (23 trillion PHP), CNN Money and Time noted.

Alphabet previously overtook Google last February.

For the past six months, Apple’s shares dropped nearly 20 percent due to the decline of iPhone-chip shipments, one of the company’s trademark products since 2007.

Other tech titans, Intel and Microsoft, also declared disappointing slump in sales this quarter. Reversely, social media giant Facebook and online shopping site Amazon bolstered higher earnings this quarter. Gianna Francesca Catolico
