When Angelina is on the screen, even if she isn’t speaking, you are just drawn to her. She is the Marilyn and Elizabeth of our time. She played Thena beautifully. And she proved she’s still THE female action star of our times. The woman is 45 years old and she’s still got it. She really knows how to move her body in an action sequence. Just superb.
Angelina Jolie really gave justice to this role. There's no other actress that could play Thena better than Angelina. I was impressed with Thena when she fought with Ikaris for the first time. She doesn't need to defeat him but she only occupied him while doing uni-mind later on.
Coz this is Pandemic era bro. Don't know yani?? Too much time about Quarantine. People are confused about vaccines. Still will you have time in the movie theater?? Plus you have your smartphone now with internet. You can watch this for free. Why should i go to movie theaters and pay 6-7 bucks if i can watch this in my smartphone for free?
@@jnmks But it's different since there's much anticipation for No Way Home. Characters were already cultivated during the first 2 films plus the fact that several known Marvel actors were reprising their iconic roles from previous Spiderman films. Eternals on the other hand are still unknown and this is their first movie in the franchise so yeah.
I think it's because, its a different type of Marvel movie, People go the theaters to watch an Marvel with High expectations and when their aren't expectations are fulfilled they start shit talking about the movie. Imagine if Avengers Endgame ended differently people would be absolutely flaming the actors, the directors and Marvel in general.
@@mindstone6883 Not a lot of people knows about GOTG before their movie too, they also introduced a lot of characters at the same time in the movie yet they executed that perfectly and now everybody loves them. I’m not saying Eternals was a bad movie…imo, it was just…okay for me. Visual and sound effects were top tier but it really suffers from pacing, character development and there’s just too much going on at the same time.
One thing about Angelina's portrayal that I loved and she spoke to was her feminine approach. It's makes her such an elegant warrior and therefore her movements just feel so flawless.
Angelina’s on screen presence is in another league compared to the rest of the cast. I didn’t know she could still move gracefully in action performances.
@@sippakornbunraksa4263 She Didn’t Use A Stunt Double. She Said She Trained In Ballet For A More Feminine Touch And Trained With A Wide Range Of Weapons For This Role. You Can Look It Up, It’s Many Articles About It.
Angelina Jolie is the right person to play Thena. She is one of the most skilled members of the Eternals. Her powers is to make handheld weapons used by cosmic energy she can think of😎🔥
@@fadhlissyafiqab4078 even being imprisoned for centuries and away from asgard she still has enough strength to break mjollnir with 1 hand, her weakest version is already stronger than thor. Thor’s like hela but he’s still powerful in infinity war without asgard. Without asgard it’s just their power level won’t increase anymore.
Yeah even the hand to hand is heavily CGI, like Thena and Ikaris' fight at 2:05 That being said I still think it's visually stunning and some of the cleanest CGI Marvel has used
Ikr, outside of Makkari I think they had to tone her powers down so she doesn’t outshine the others especially Icarus. If she was comparable in power or if her weapons could harm him easily then she definitely would have won. That or Thena just is one of the weaker fighters overall. Her, Gemma, and Salma’s acting completely carried the mess of a movie, I just wish Thena had more screen time. I want to see her in a more serious fight though where her skill really bridges the gap
Well she is the most proficient fighter amongst the group. Her combat skills are unmatched. She can take on Thanos head to head but not alone if that makes sense. She can give Thanos a huge struggle. But his physical strength would eventually overwhelm her. But the Eternals don’t fight alone thankfully.
Thena can easily be in the top 10 MCU heroes with the best fighting skills. Her fighting style is so smooth and graceful, like she's dancing with weapons. We need to see her facing more characters, just imagine the choreographies.
And I love how she's so skilled with all her different weapons. It really feels like a unique fighting style with each weapon she uses. Very nice choreography
@@alien1299 aye i wouldn't say this is the worst movie but i wouldn't say this is a masterpiece either. The visual and sound effects are top notch (well its marvel) but the plot aren't that good. It was a decent movie.
@@alien1299 It isn't the best. It's a good movie. It's beautiful. It's stunning. But the visual effects (CGI) looks fake. There's no weight in those scenes. Some of those scenes are really good, but most of them are meh. Again, stunning. Beautiful. Cinematography is high quality. But not the overall execution.
Thena's fighting style is really amazing and complex to deal with it, she always change her cosmic weapons every second during mid fight that is very hard for anyone to predict like changing shield into a spear axe for close range and power, if Ikaris didn't have strong endurance she would have cut him like butter easily
It opens up huge potential for her character since the weapons manifest is limited to her imagination. She could technically manifest projectile arrows to give her long range attacks.
For me, Thena will be a better replacement as Prime Eternals after Ajak than Sersi. But due to her unstable mental health condition (Mahd Wy'ry Disorder), it prevents her from taking Ajak's place as a leader of Eternals (Prime Eternals).
Jolie was the perfect actress for this character. I can see how throughout history so many civilizations worshiped Thena as a goddess, her grace and power is effortless.
The producers did actually offer her to do a solo movie for Thena, but she refused. She said she would still like to play the character in other movies.

I guess it’s because the pace and mood of this one are really different from others marvel movies. I was a bit sick of superhero movie after Endgame, but l like this one a lot. There’re so many characters and information, the length is reasonable. I felt like the characters could be developed more, that deviant had potential. The movie is pretty good as an introduction to something bigger. Probably average marvel audience is not expecting this.
There’s a lot I enjoyed about this film but there’s plenty to dislike about it. That being said, I definitely think it’s getting way too much criticism for what was a decent and overall enjoyable superhero film. Things I liked -Production value was amazing. Great CGI, beautiful shots -This partly due to the above but it had a different vibe the typical Marvel film, and although I enjoy the typical, it was refreshing to see something more artsy and overall serious even if it had comedic moments -Ikaris and Cersei. Liked their romance and loved how it served as the climax of plot. Ikaris not being able to kill Cersei and remembering how their love is entwined with the existence of Earth was heart wrenching and probably my favorite part of film -Ikaris in general was a good villain, understandable motivations and someone who despite doing bad things, clearly cares about the other eternals -Liked the variety of powers and how they were all useful in different ways Things I didn’t like -Tiamut’s emergence didn’t make sense. The process of his birth is supposed to destroy earth but he already starts emerging when Cersei turns him to marble and the world is fine so I don’t see why the rest of him emerging would change that unless his body is DRASTICALLY bigger and out of proportion -The eternals kill Tiamut and there isn’t much reflection of the consequence of those actions. Yes Arishem comes to potentially punish them but I don’t see the eternals themselves thinking about how they now definitely caused billions of life forms to not exist. The screenplay should’ve stuck with the putting Tiamut sleep plan (therefore the eternals would be hampering with the cycle of life rather than straight up stopping it) or put in the eternals actually mourning the harm they’ve done for the sake of earth. -Dane sucks. Classic example of telling and not showing. Something that doesn’t really bother me but I think probably is part of why the movie is being poorly received is because some see it as “woke” culture and revising at work. A lot of the eternals used to at least present as white. Again, this isn’t something I personally care about but I know this is the type of thing that tends piss off some people, especially long time fans of a series
I was so impressed with how Thena was such a fleshed out, stoic character that we wanted to root for and felt for even though she didn’t really have that much screen time or even solo screen time 👏🏼 Angelina did an incredible job with Thena, you can see that even though she’s not the star of the film, she cared a lot about it and the character
Can we just appreciate the fact that Ikaris is intimidated by Thena the most. In their fights where there were 3 vs Ikaris, Ikaris tries to disable Thena first always and ends up forgetting to engage the others which lead to him being hit. Really satisfying.
Hela is far too strong for any of the Eternals, Thor looks like he's a bit stronger than Ikaris but he was struggling against Hela even with Valkyrie's help.
This movie really shows diversity and point out that nobody is perfect, even for beings like Eternals. This may not be the best marvel movie but the cinematography, the CGI, messages and representations from each characters are perfect. Eternals became my number one movie when its first trailer came out. I specifically adore Thena, not because she’s beautiful or potrayed by Angelina Jolie (it was the other way around, Thena made me love Jolie), but she represents someone with Mental Issue sincerely in this movie. Thena is the Eternal who suffers Mahd Wy’ry (fractured memory and hallucinations, closest to Schizophrenia in human), became afraid of hurting her fellow Eternals, doubting herself whether she can believe her true self. On the other side, she’s a very strong warrior. This screams loud about someone (whether they suffer with mental illness or they are just a regular person) can be perfect outside but broken inside, they can be strong and fragile in the same time. Angelina herself had PTSD years ago and talked about it with Chloe, which then became one of the reason to develop Thena’s character from Angelina’s real experience and personality making her the perfect woman who potrays the warrior. I personally really attach to her because I feel like I can see myself inside her. Me, myself, developed mental illness and suffers from it for such a long time (I have Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression and symptoms of Bipolar) since I was around 13 years old until now (21) mainly from my unhealthy school and family environment. Thena and Angelina Jolie became the only woman figure I look up to from the time this movie released. I never look up to someone (even my parents, haha) for my whole life until I saw them.
There is so much story and character development in this movie. Completely undeserved hate against this movie because so much of the story flew over their heads. I feel so much for Ikarus in this story and the struggle here. Angelina played Thena with such Grace and elegance while maintaining her warrior spirit. Brilliant.
Just watched Eternals and Angelina Jolie was so fierce and stunning!!! 💕 Loved her blonde and playing as Thena✨ I hope they give her more killer fight scenes in Eternals 2
A lot of people claimed that Ikaris is stronger than her weapons but he’s clearly not. She can control the “cutting strength” of her blades. That’s why when she quickly expanded it while it was in his grasp he let go right away. Obviously her blades can cut through even the strongest characters bc she cut through the monster at the end. Also, when they fought Ikaris I don’t think anyone was trying to kill him 100%. And Ikaris wasn’t trying to kill them either.
Eternals are not very well known, Marvel must have shown the Celestial before the eternals, so they development would be welcome. Also this is not what really happens, Tiamult known as the sleeping celestial was a leader and was betrayed by Arishem and the horde, due damage suffered he stayed sleeping. Also is true Celestial are born on planet destruction and Galactus role is to prevent them from being born by consuming planets with their seeds.
I loved her portrayal of Thena. Angelina has always been my top fan cast for Wonder Woman, so it was nice finally getting to see her as a bad ass goddesses of battle
I forget how gorgeous, fierce and statuesque Angelina is. I watched Maleficent after this, and her presence is so demanding and powerful. She has sooo much charisma!
I was hoping for more screen time and a more prominent role for Angelina Jolie as Thena. Don't get me wrong, her performance was great and she is elegant and gracious like a Goddess already, but I was disappointed with how little she was given to do. Hopefully we'll see more of her in the sequel and that this movie links with our main MCU storyline more than it did here.
I thought she was given enough? Killed the main deviant, fought ikaris, and was the one going insane. Not bad for a movie with that many characters to introduce
@@DanteNeverWaits yea but until the end of the movie she didn't have a lot to do. It's still not perfectly clear what she was seeing ro remembering during her.. Whatever it is called. Her character development was minimal compared to the rest of the cast. Her dialogues were also less.
@@amanrehman8281 nah all of them got equal line and screentime, that's what wrong with critiques, they thought because the actor if famous they should be given more lines. The movie shows a great story and open up a whole lot of possibilities in the mcu, i didn't regret watching this
@@amanrehman8281 also, I don't think it is needed to show character development on her,it is a not about her character but an imperfect erasing of her memory,it doesn't need character development
She is basically The Wonder Woman of the team. As fast as Makkari is, or as powerful as Sersi, Ajak, Ikaris and Druig. Thena's speed, reflex and fighting abilities are unmatched. I wonder what she can do when she is at her peak.
I’m the comics, all the Eternals have the same baseline powers. Strength, durability, speed, etc. But they each have an ability like what the movie shows that each of them excel at better. Sersei and her transmutation powers can’t be matched by Thena or any other Eternal. Just like the laser beams Ikaris uses can be beaten by other Eternals. I believe that they are the same in the MCU. We just haven’t seen them in their full glory yet. Some other factors are at play preventing them from being at fullest potential. Maybe Arishem is to blame. Maybe they do evolve the more they use their powers. We have to wait and see.
As a comic book fan and a comic book movie fan Angelina Jolie was really dope in this.. I think and also know she could carry her own stand alone movie with this character. And i also don’t know why this movie was so hated. The movie was visually beautiful.
Thena is one of my favorite members of the Eternals! I love how strong she is, her story is interesting, I love her powers, and Angelina Jolie played her beautifully! She's amazing!!!
Well they set thena up as quite the warrior that everyone admires so obviously she's quite strong but id still say if ikaris really wanted to, he couldve beaten her handily but despite his threats, he didnt really want to kill any of them besides maybe Druig
I like how Thena just make close-range weapon instead long-range weapon like bow & arrow or even a whip. Also the scene when she kicking Ikaris is simple but really cool.
We should have got a series, would love to see more of Thena kicking butt, and her relationship with Gilgamesh, but even though how the plot was executed wasn't good the vfx and fight scenes were great
They are both ridiculously powerful. Both are actual Goddesses with immeasurable strength and battle experience. But Thena can create and manipulate Cosmic energy at will, heal with Cosmic Energy at will and she has been alive for 7,000 years fighting nothing but giant Demigods with super strength like the Deviants. Thena wins on strength and battle experience alone. The fact that she creates Cosmic Energy on top of all that, is too OP.
@@TonyLeviosa I also feel like thenas agility gives her more of an advantage. The way she moves makes it hard for people to block her attacks. Hard to say tho . But I think hela would hold her own, esp if they fought on Asgard. She was commander and helped Odin conquer the nine realms. She was stabbed multiple times and it didn’t even phase her. She also destroyed mjolner, wiped out the Valkyrie single-handedly and can pull her weapons out of thin air like thena. Thena I think only fights close combat and hela could be versatile. In any case it would be a great battle to see.
Hela is gonna win because she has more impressive feats, thena doesn't. This movie just didn't show it. Hela crushed Thor's hammer like it was nothing and also she is more versatile in weapon making and can send like a whole lot flying at Thena. Thena could be more powerful but this movie just doesn't show it. For now, Hela is clapping easily

The screenplay should’ve stuck with the putting Tiamut sleep plan (therefore the eternals would be hampering with the cycle of life rather than straight up stopping it) or put in the eternals actually mourning the harm they’ve done for the sake of earth.
-Dane sucks. Classic example of telling and not showing.
Something that doesn’t really bother me but I think probably is part of why the movie is being poorly received is because some see it as “woke” culture and revising at work. A lot of the eternals used to at least present as white. Again, this isn’t something I personally care about but I know this is the type of thing that tends piss off some people, especially long time fans of a series
I was so impressed with how Thena was such a fleshed out, stoic character that we wanted to root for and felt for even though she didn’t really have that much screen time or even solo screen time 👏🏼 Angelina did an incredible job with Thena, you can see that even though she’s not the star of the film, she cared a lot about it and the character
Can we just appreciate the fact that Ikaris is intimidated by Thena the most. In their fights where there were 3 vs Ikaris, Ikaris tries to disable Thena first always and ends up forgetting to engage the others which lead to him being hit. Really satisfying.
Makkari is probably the most dangerous tho tbh
I want to see Thena and Hela fight. They were both played by really good actresses and their powers are similar
yes i want to see that too
Oh that would be a treat for the eyes
Add the Ancient One to the mix and were gonna have a blast watching it.
Hela would kill her
Hela is far too strong for any of the Eternals, Thor looks like he's a bit stronger than Ikaris but he was struggling against Hela even with Valkyrie's help.
2:33 that Spartan kick is amazing.
That's Badass
And so satisfying 😆
The way she just switches to her different weapons is just too smooth
3:37 THAT LEAP WAS BEAUTIFUL
This movie really shows diversity and point out that nobody is perfect, even for beings like Eternals. This may not be the best marvel movie but the cinematography, the CGI, messages and representations from each characters are perfect. Eternals became my number one movie when its first trailer came out. I specifically adore Thena, not because she’s beautiful or potrayed by Angelina Jolie (it was the other way around, Thena made me love Jolie), but she represents someone with Mental Issue sincerely in this movie. Thena is the Eternal who suffers Mahd Wy’ry (fractured memory and hallucinations, closest to Schizophrenia in human), became afraid of hurting her fellow Eternals, doubting herself whether she can believe her true self. On the other side, she’s a very strong warrior.
This screams loud about someone (whether they suffer with mental illness or they are just a regular person) can be perfect outside but broken inside, they can be strong and fragile in the same time. Angelina herself had PTSD years ago and talked about it with Chloe, which then became one of the reason to develop Thena’s character from Angelina’s real experience and personality making her the perfect woman who potrays the warrior. I personally really attach to her because I feel like I can see myself inside her. Me, myself, developed mental illness and suffers from it for such a long time (I have Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression and symptoms of Bipolar) since I was around 13 years old until now (21) mainly from my unhealthy school and family environment. Thena and Angelina Jolie became the only woman figure I look up to from the time this movie released. I never look up to someone (even my parents, haha) for my whole life until I saw them.
This is a great comment. Genuinely thank you for sharing.
Best fight scenes of Angelina jolie since tomb raider 😍
An assassin, talking tiger, Eternal, No matter what character Angelina Jolie plays she always fought so beautifully
Ooohh yessss!! I've been waiting for this all Thena's fight scènes! Angelina Jolie certainly nailed this rôle!
❤️❤️❤️
Why are people so disappointed with this movie? I enjoyed every bit of this. I want more.
the fact that ikarus flinched three different times around her and while fighting her proves how scary her presence is
You can hear in Ikaris voice when he said "thena play nice" it's like thena is the only eternal ikaris is worried fighting with.
but only thena always wants it 🤣
@@akisantiago7765 Thena wants to fight everybody 🤣🤣🤣
But I've always wanted to 🔥
Yea right, I've noticed that Ikaris always talk loud(or maybe worrying? Dunno tho) when Thena want to fight him
There isn't a role in the whole entertainment industry that Angelina Jolie can't slay.
What about django
There is so much story and character development in this movie. Completely undeserved hate against this movie because so much of the story flew over their heads. I feel so much for Ikarus in this story and the struggle here. Angelina played Thena with such Grace and elegance while maintaining her warrior spirit. Brilliant.
The first one always get the hate.. watch the next one
I've been waiting thus for ages too. SHE IS A GODESS
Just watched this movie and loved it! However I wish Angelina Jolie had more screen time because she was absolutely captivating as Thena
I can watch this video on repeat for all day 🤩🤩
The way Thena smiled at ikaris when he was holding her down. Powerful
Sexiest smile, truly high passion
@@humanbeing645 awww 😭

@@aronjames2049 2:14 👊
@@anime_kid4896 Thanks 👊
Just watched Eternals and Angelina Jolie was so fierce and stunning!!! 💕 Loved her blonde and playing as Thena✨ I hope they give her more killer fight scenes in Eternals 2
ANGELINA STILL GOT IT!!! Her acting skills are incredible
that 3:37 scene was the most spectacular fighting choreography marvel has ever done. period.
Yes! Finally. I've been waiting to see all of Thenas powerful weapon scenes. My favorite Eternal. I wanted more of her
I've been waiting so long for this. Thena stans RISE!!!
A lot of people claimed that Ikaris is stronger than her weapons but he’s clearly not. She can control the “cutting strength” of her blades. That’s why when she quickly expanded it while it was in his grasp he let go right away. Obviously her blades can cut through even the strongest characters bc she cut through the monster at the end.
Also, when they fought Ikaris I don’t think anyone was trying to kill him 100%. And Ikaris wasn’t trying to kill them either.
Event tho they're fighting they still got some kind of family relay? Idk but yk💀
Maybe Makkari was trying to seriously hurt him but yes the others weren't not trying to kill him just contain him
Never heard of this character until this movie, but absolutely fell in love with her and Angelina was the perfect casting choice
Eternals are not very well known, Marvel must have shown the Celestial before the eternals, so they development would be welcome. Also this is not what really happens, Tiamult known as the sleeping celestial was a leader and was betrayed by Arishem and the horde, due damage suffered he stayed sleeping. Also is true Celestial are born on planet destruction and Galactus role is to prevent them from being born by consuming planets with their seeds.
I love how she moves so graceful. Like a deadly ballerina
Yes!!! Thena the queen, thank you for uploading
I loved her portrayal of Thena. Angelina has always been my top fan cast for Wonder Woman, so it was nice finally getting to see her as a bad ass goddesses of battle
Her fight scenes are so satisfying to me. And the part she said “But I always wanted” reminds me of her Maleficent haha the accent.
I forget how gorgeous, fierce and statuesque Angelina is. I watched Maleficent after this, and her presence is so demanding and powerful. She has sooo much charisma!
That moment where Makari catches Thena and then Thena protects Makari with her shield. The Eternals are a family
I was hoping for more screen time and a more prominent role for Angelina Jolie as Thena. Don't get me wrong, her performance was great and she is elegant and gracious like a Goddess already, but I was disappointed with how little she was given to do. Hopefully we'll see more of her in the sequel and that this movie links with our main MCU storyline more than it did here.
I thought she was given enough? Killed the main deviant, fought ikaris, and was the one going insane. Not bad for a movie with that many characters to introduce
@@DanteNeverWaits yea but until the end of the movie she didn't have a lot to do. It's still not perfectly clear what she was seeing ro remembering during her.. Whatever it is called. Her character development was minimal compared to the rest of the cast. Her dialogues were also less.
The Goddess 😍😘👑
@@amanrehman8281 nah all of them got equal line and screentime, that's what wrong with critiques, they thought because the actor if famous they should be given more lines. The movie shows a great story and open up a whole lot of possibilities in the mcu, i didn't regret watching this
@@amanrehman8281 also, I don't think it is needed to show character development on her,it is a not about her character but an imperfect erasing of her memory,it doesn't need character development
I just love that smirk she did when she held up her shield.
When you love something you have to protect it - Thena
She deserves to have her own movie.
Finally nobody ever made scenes of eternal thank you
because the movie was just released today
Is it legal to post these footage from films?
@@VashtheStampede007 yep because HD is out now
She is basically The Wonder Woman of the team. As fast as Makkari is, or as powerful as Sersi, Ajak, Ikaris and Druig. Thena's speed, reflex and fighting abilities are unmatched. I wonder what she can do when she is at her peak.
Yet gilgamesh is the only one who can stop her.
Her speed is surpassed thp
@@LolomoStrong no ilariscan aswell
@@LolomoStrong and makkariif she really tries
I’m the comics, all the Eternals have the same baseline powers. Strength, durability, speed, etc. But they each have an ability like what the movie shows that each of them excel at better. Sersei and her transmutation powers can’t be matched by Thena or any other Eternal. Just like the laser beams Ikaris uses can be beaten by other Eternals. I believe that they are the same in the MCU. We just haven’t seen them in their full glory yet. Some other factors are at play preventing them from being at fullest potential. Maybe Arishem is to blame. Maybe they do evolve the more they use their powers. We have to wait and see.
As a comic book fan and a comic book movie fan Angelina Jolie was really dope in this.. I think and also know she could carry her own stand alone movie with this character. And i also don’t know why this movie was so hated. The movie was visually beautiful.
She’s such a powerful yet elegant fighter! She steals the scenes she’s in!! 😍
Thena is amazing, a true goddess of war. Angelina Jolie is perfect for her
Her character is such a badass and her fighting is so angelic and satisfying
Thena really gave us EVERYTHING
Thena is one of my favorite members of the Eternals!
I love how strong she is, her story is interesting, I love her powers, and Angelina Jolie played her beautifully! She's amazing!!!
Eternals' fight scenes are really beautiful.
She's my favorite caracter.. I love every her scene..
She made it look quite effortless. Big ups to the CGI Department, it was superb
I couldn't really picture her as Thena at first but then I saw the movie, damn she was so beautiful and perfect for the role!
2:35 look at how he flinched. I still believe Prime Thena can kick his ass in the battle.
Well they set thena up as quite the warrior that everyone admires so obviously she's quite strong but id still say if ikaris really wanted to, he couldve beaten her handily but despite his threats, he didnt really want to kill any of them besides maybe Druig
@@khalduras784 but Druig survives so??
@@thejeangreysummers Yeah but he put more effort in shooting him than he has with any other eternal hence why i said "maybe druig"
Ikaris is the most powerful, thena is the 3rd maybe 4th
@@tommygarrosh2941 in MCU maybe in comic Ikaris isn't even in top 4
I love her take on having shapeshifting weapons. She really uses that ability creatively to its fullest potential
They should have let Angelina play Wonder Woman as well. She would have did her justice.
Nah, Wonder Woman mother
The way she jumped is satisfying, her moves is satisfying.
0:21
3:36
I like how Thena just make close-range weapon instead long-range weapon like bow & arrow or even a whip. Also the scene when she kicking Ikaris is simple but really cool.
Angelina is good at fighting movie too she did it before and this improve lot now
It's a good thing we haven't seen her real strength cuz that just mean's we'll definitely see more when they come back!
Nobody delivers a line like Angelina.
We should have got a series, would love to see more of Thena kicking butt, and her relationship with Gilgamesh, but even though how the plot was executed wasn't good the vfx and fight scenes were great
I LOOOOVED HER AS THENA
.JUST WISHED WE GOT A LITTLE.MORE..BUT I HOPE WE SHE ANGIE AS THENA AGAIN SOON!!🔥🫶👏👏👏
ALL scenes sersi Powers from eternals please
yasss, thnx for making thena's fight scene....still waiting for makkari, sprite and gilgamesh, my most favorite....
The franchisee could really blow up. They just need to make more movies
I swear she’s so good at being a bad ass in movies like this and Tomb Raider that i am convinced she can really whoop a persons ass.
now I want to see thena vs hela, imagine the goddess of war vs the goddess of death
They are both ridiculously powerful. Both are actual Goddesses with immeasurable strength and battle experience. But Thena can create and manipulate Cosmic energy at will, heal with Cosmic Energy at will and she has been alive for 7,000 years fighting nothing but giant Demigods with super strength like the Deviants. Thena wins on strength and battle experience alone. The fact that she creates Cosmic Energy on top of all that, is too OP.
@@TonyLeviosa I also feel like thenas agility gives her more of an advantage. The way she moves makes it hard for people to block her attacks. Hard to say tho . But I think hela would hold her own, esp if they fought on Asgard. She was commander and helped Odin conquer the nine realms. She was stabbed multiple times and it didn’t even phase her. She also destroyed mjolner, wiped out the Valkyrie single-handedly and can pull her weapons out of thin air like thena. Thena I think only fights close combat and hela could be versatile. In any case it would be a great battle to see.
Hela one shots. Thena got one shot by Gilgamesh and got wrecked by Ikaris. Hela stomped Thor. Different tiers dude
Hela is gonna win because she has more impressive feats, thena doesn't. This movie just didn't show it. Hela crushed Thor's hammer like it was nothing and also she is more versatile in weapon making and can send like a whole lot flying at Thena. Thena could be more powerful but this movie just doesn't show it. For now, Hela is clapping easily
I want to see Thena Vs Thor. The Goddess of War vs The God Of Thunder. Basically Shazam vs Wonder Woman in all their glory.
After 20 years from Tomb Raider, damn, she still got it and looks beautiful!
So classy Angelina is, I'm doomed with her expressions. Love you sweetie (it doesn't matter she's twice of my age).
She is phenomenal. Her action scenes were extraordinary. Loved to watch her. Can't wait to see Thena again in action in Marval movies.
I dont know why but I found my self fall in love with this character.
Love Thena!!! We need more of her
Thanos to Gamora: you're the fiercest woman in the galaxy.
Thena: hold my beer.
This movie as a whole might be a bit disappointing, but I absolutely enjoyed every minute of Thena scenes
EVEN IN FIGHT MODE, SHE STILL LOOKS MAJESTIC.
When watching the movie, i had goosebumps this part 1:14
Such a good movie! I feel bad I didn’t watch this at the movies 😢
Yeah, the critics were hating for no reason. This is really one of the better marvel films.
