the relationship that shined the most was either Druig and Makari or Thena and Gilgamesh. Allot of people dismiss the fact that Gilgamesh gave up his chance at small freedom in order to be her care taker and was the only one strong enough to defend himself from her attacks.
Fun fact is that “Drakkari” wasn’t planned by Chloe Zhao; she was planning to hint at Druig and SERSI having possibly had a fling in the past. It’s because Barry Keoghan and Lauren Ridloff had TREMENDOUS chemistry (they actually improved the loving Bradbury, to the surprise of the other cast and crew) that Zhao and the screenwriters changed their plans to capitalise on them getting along so naturally.
So glad they didn't end up implying Sersi and Druig was a thing...too much of a trope for the foil of the leader to have a love triangle with the leader's girl and this movie was great at subverting most tropes. Because Druig and Ikaris are absolutely foils to each other.
@@thuirthiawindsong also, I notice Druig never uses his mind control on other Eternals. Is it that he does not want to, the consequences too severe, or is it that he can’t? The movie never answers that. He didn’t even attempt to defend himself against Ikaris. He was such a sitting duck. 🤣
Literally Makkari is the best! And I did not expect to love her relationship with Druig. I don’t much care for speedsters in general cuz they bore me but Makkari was sooooo fun to watch! So dynamic! The romance scene between Sersi and Ikarus was actually really uncomfortable for me. Maybe I didn’t like the way it was framed. And I totally thought Ajak couldn’t be dead! I was like okay…Ajak…is coming back. Just…waaait for it. 🤣 They got us gooood. That plane CG was so bad like first Charlie’s Angel CG bad 🤣 Gil is so damn soft I fricken love how he cares for Thena. I cried several times in theater. Because of these two as well as Phastos’s loss of faith after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and seeing Druig caring so much for humanity but not being able to do anything. I feel that so deeply.
By far the best looking Marvel movie! The magic of having real sets combined with cg makes the imagery stunning and the world feel real! The moment when Tiamut breaks the waters surface gives me chills! So does seeing the scale of the Celestials to everything! Gives me goosebumps! This film took visuals to the next level! Shoutout to Chloe and the CG Artists! Also, the plot and m0vie in general wasn't bad. It was really good! one of my fav's. idk what the critics were going on about.
I don't understand why a lot of people are saying bad things about this movie. For me it was a really good movie and all the reaction I saw on RUclips were positive. I understand that people not necessarily have to like this kind of movie but the bad things they are saying about Eternals is very exaggerated. I am anxious to see what is coming on the future of the Eternals in the MCU.
Snowflakes. Someone on twitter actually looked up most of the bad critics to this movie & majority of them are legit straight white men, proving what Brie Larson said years ago about movie critics is right. They don't like diversity & minority in film industry & this movie has that, even if they handled it well without forcing them in ur face. This movie has flaws ofc. Mainly the pacing & some of the characters development & the plot could have been written better. But it's no way terrible or a mess like all these people are saying. It's pretty good. Esp with such crowded actors & big history they've. I think they'd make an Eternal tv show to solve this issue. It'll make them & their history on earth fleshed out even more.
@@resurgingflame and people keep denying this lmao. There are people who are very fragile about representation and they keep denying it. My dad who's catholic hated this movie for the gay kiss part and that ruined the entire movie for him. like bruh. if that happens in a normal household, what more inside these powerful cishet white men organizations.
This is by far my least favorite MCU movies. It was a struggle to get through the first half, though I found it picked up in the second half. I just thought it managed to be boring AND trying to do too much at the same time. I mean, I loved the sfx, I generally loved the broad strokes of the plot, I loved the representation, and Makkari's speedster stuff is my favorite depiction of speedsters ever. The sfx of Celestials... hoo boy! But it was such a struggle to sit through.
Well the androids who only had one job, to safeguard and ensure the cycle of life, and who selfishly abandoned said duty so that new universes, worlds, and species now won't get a chance to exist like we once did from the previous cycle... they seem like bad guys to me.
Thena is also the cousin of Thanos in the comics. I also enjoyed this movie. They did a great job making it seem like they all knew each other for millennia. I agree on the ships. I loved Gilgamesh and Thena.
I've heard complaints of the movie lacking of fight scenes. Like do people seriously expect a fight every 5 seconds in a 2 hour long movie? Especially since it's introducing a team of new characters Like seriously
Omg I’ve heard that too, feel like those people have a short attention span tbh. This movie did really story building while still having great fight scenes I thought
@@MonicaCatapusan these people are used to complaining over anything good. people are selfish in modern society and only want what they want.... its hard to make a movie for general audiences when people are so opinionated and narcissistic our society sucks when it comes to good media these days because someone will ALWAYS COMPLAIN! i loved this movie
@@LilGRaven you bring up such a good point - i noticed similar complaints about loki and their “filler” episodes not having enough action or shocking dramatic scenes. instant satisfaction doesn’t always work. storylines, character arcs and world building takes time to grow properly, and sometimes the slow burn pays off in big ways.
@@clarradactyl7791 social media has made people impatient. they dont have the attention spans as they used to, to be able to sit through character driven moments, all they are expecting are the big boom boom spectacles.
I love the title of this video and I wholeheartedly agree. This movie was great and the cosmic implications are so awesome and that last scene with Arishem splitting the sky...ooohhhh...chills. Loved it. Cannot wait to see where the Eternals pop up next.
The thing about Ikaris stance it's that while it is a betrayal of his "family" it is not without any basis or even wrong if you view it from the POV of the greater good... And it wasn't just him like you said; Sprite has her feelings towards Ikaris but even before that moment when she went with Ikaris she showed that she was in favor of the Celestial's original plan; so was Kingo, he didn't take part on that later fight because he wasn't going to fight against his family but he did actually sided with Ikaris' stance. He obviously displays blind allegiance towards Arishem and the Celestial's designs but that doesn't mean that he is wrong and he did tried to stay true to his beliefs without hurting the rest of the Eternals, he did what he did to Ajax to force the rest of them to remain occupied enough for the emergence to happen, he could've easily went around the world killing all of them one by one and that would've 100% made sure that the emergence will happen without problems. And I think there is one big part of his motivation that people seemed to miss or perhaps the movie failed to make it more clear; He not only respected Arishem and the Celestials as creators but he also feared them (very rightly so) and mostly he feared what Arishem was going to do to them and specially Sersi if they went against his plan... When they went to see Druig and they were talking he voiced something very important about his character and his motivations when he said to Sersi that he was afraid of what her desire to stop the emergence was going to do to put her in the crosshairs of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse, specially the line he says to her: "I'm not powerful enough to protect you from him"... Ikaris is very confident in himself and he is clearly the most powerful among them, among the most powerful characters in Marvel, but he is not blind to the fact that if Arishem wanted to hurt Sersi there is not a fucking thing he could do to protect her.
very good point about ikaris fearing the repercussions! i think ultimately ikaris was influenced both by the fact that the eternals were meant to follow the celestials' orders and that he believed he was doing what was necessary for the greater good. of course, he never felt the same love for humanity that sersi (and a couple others, like phastos and ajak) did but he didn't support the celestials because he thought humanity didn't deserve to be saved. like you said, if he was really that evil he could've picked them off one by one, or just allowed the deviants to kill them all. there's a lot of nuance to his character and while it's understandable for the other eternals to lash out at him and label him as a betrayer, a coward, etc the complexity of his actions shouldn't be ignored.
he almost succeeded also, but it was obvious he wasn't gonna be able to kill sersi. He even tried. He's willing to sacrifice anything for the 'greater good', but draws the line when it comes to sersi.
100% agree to this comment, everything said is true. I loved Ikaris unlike many people, but his motive wasn't so bad, it's just the betrayal of family that didn't seat well with me. N I think this is another reason he killed himself, he knew he couldn't protect sersi after wat they had all done.
THIS! Especially the last part. A lot of people keep saying he had that toxic masculinity strength shit going on but no, he was scared because he knew what the consequences would be. And his point was only proven when Arishem does pull up on them at the end of the movie and no one could do anything, just slumped over like dolls that had their batteries taken out. He knew utterly helpless they would be when - not if - when Arishem showed up. So, in his own way he was trying to protect them from that judgement.
@@nebullae A lot of people be making wild takes about Ikaris (he underminded Sersi's leadership or he was a dick to the others or even that he was abusive), straight up ignoring his nuance and complexity so that their hate for him and headcanons work. It's really frustrating. You don't need to love or agree with him but don't reduce a well written character into a one-dimensional villain.
I called it Megamind instead of Unimind. 😂 And yes, omg. I agree with the whole Ikaris-Sersi love story being lacking. The scene where Ikaris was crying in front of Sersi was supposed to be heartbreaking because they were in love for thousands of years but it did nothing for me. 😬 I was just like "okay Ikaris, eat shit" 😂
Yeah honestly the could have not been in love and the plot would still be fine. There relationship was given no attention to the point where i really didn’t care about them
Megamind is great😂 Looool literally!! Richard Madden’s acting is phenomenal don’t get me wrong, but this scene still did nothing for me because I couldn’t care less about their relationship😭
Thank you for watching it. Eros has the power to manipulate peoples emotions like when he fights in the comics he makes the bad guys all happy and stuff.
it's 2 & 3 weeks after endgame. so before shang-chi and hawkeye. endgame happens somewhere in the summer. then wandavision happens, tfatws too. hawkeye & spiderman nwh ending is in December. I'm guessing shang-chi would be like October the same year
I love Druig so much too ❤️❤️ Also it’s nice seeing the movie with clear lighting. Also I love seeing Sprite appreciation since I’ve seen Sprite dislike for last 3 months
I’ve read somewhere that Ikaris is supposed to portray the male gaze. If you look all of their “falling in love” scenes, Ikaris is always looking at Cersi, but she doesn’t really look back at him.
Because Sersi is so easily loveable. She is compassionate and kind and wants to help people. It's really easy for Ikaris to fall in love with her. And the movie makes it a little plausible that she'd fall in love with him because he's trying for her (learning the human languages to be closer to her and letting her guide him through being among the humans...after not trying for 4500 years of course, but we'll gloss over that) but he never really gets it, so anything she feels for him is built on an unstable foundation.
I agree, I think a lot of it is he’s in love with her and she’s no longer in love with him. Like we get a sign that he was enraptured with her the moment they came to life whereas she was in love with Earth first. He was always going to choose her and she was always going to choose humanity
Found my fellow Drukarri ship crew! And I can't, everytime whenever Druig's on screen, I can't contain my excitement and fangirl. Same sis! This movie was amazing too!! Great reaction~~ ^^
My problem with the "sex on the beach" scene is that it's not necessary at all. The previous scene told us everything we need to know about their union. In those few minutes they could have shown us something relevant to the story or to some other character's development.
i really enjoyed this movie too! it’s so cool to see the MCU show something different. love the exploration of themes in philosophy & theology. such a beautiful film with epic music to go along with it as well!
Yes!! I think people just enjoy the basic story telling formula that the MCU is known for and are thrown when the directing and writing branches out to try new things. I loved the directing of Eternals and I think it’s a great origins movie
I liked this movie a lot more the second time watching it. I don’t know why everyone hates it so much. Lol. Druig was my favorite character too. Him and Makari had way more chemistry than Ikaris and Sersi. I love seeing Marvel delve more into this type of territory.
The thing is, Makkari & Druig are hotter with just a few moments of nuzzling and snuggling, then Ikaris and Sersi having a sex scene and most of the screen time. That’s a problem. Now, I don’t know how they would solve that, but I am glad Chloe Zhao added the Drukkari romance into the movie. Seeing how everyone is supportive of Ikaris and Sersi’s relationship, to the point of Ajak playing matchmaker, yet with Druig they don’t support him at all with his OBVIOUS crush on Makkari, says a lot about family dynamics and tension. I mean who calls someone “my beautiful…” unless they have feelings for that person? Ajak seems to see Druig as her least favourite. Yet… she knew he was right more then he even knew. She seemed quite pissed off with him and does not play match maker for him, even to just distract him. When it looks like Makkari FINALLY realizes she is in love with Druig after 2000 years, Kingo explicitly says he does not like them getting together and Phastos is straight up surprised. (For a speedster to take 2 millennia to realize she in love… girl, what are you doing?) Kingo was even supportive of poor Sprite and her unrequited feelings, but for Druig…nope. Nothing. Druig was totally the black sheep of the family.
Ikaris and Sersi give me first love vibes. But only on Sersi’s part… its like a younger woman and slightly older more experienced man. Her and Dane have more of a connection for sure.
Only druig, phastos, and thena disliked Icarus. Kingo admired him, sprite was crushing on him, sersi liked that bland Icarus D, ajax I guess thought he was the leader, makkari was okay or neutral with him, Gilgamesh teased but didn't dislike him
I think ajak viewed him as a prodigy for her or like a son as she’s a maternal figure for all of them which makes sersi’s line “she loved you she loved you” hurt more along with the line “I’ve led you down the wrong path”
I thought that when Phastos clamped Ikaris to the ground, the rings holding him were just a bunch of the "bracelets" (they were siphoning off his power), and one stayed on him. With Sprite, Druig could have put one on her after he knocked her out. They explain it as, Tiamut joined the Uni-mind and they were ALL connected to Tiamut. So, no bracelets needed.
People who think it’s boring just have short attention spans tbh, they want fight after fight with zero story building🙄 I think the balance was great especially for an origins movie
Eternals was reviewed bombed before it even came out in theaters there are many articles written about that and that heavily skewed the critic ratings. Until they change the format and make sure people have actually watched the movie before you can rate and review it don't take it seriously. The audience rating is 80% so that's what really matters. It's not the best MCU movie but it's nowhere close to the worst.
FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED THE SMALL DETAIL OF IKARIS AND THE SUN BEING BEHIND HIM IN ALMOST EVERY SHOT OTHER THAN ME AND RELATE IT TO THE ORIGINAL STORY AND YES THE BLACK KNIGHT HAS A DEEP LORE.....
Kingo is another of the Eternals without a clear parallel to a deity. One influence might have been Dionysus, god of theatre and wine. This influence can be seen through Kingo’s love of performance; he’s spent his time on Earth acting in movie after movie for a century, passing himself off as his own grandson to maintain the illusion of agelessness. This combined with a sense of flamboyance suggests Dionysus could be Kingo’s inspiration.
I think they noticed, they just didn’t care as Druig was the family reject. I was so distracted by Druig and Makkari’s chemistry the first time I saw the movie. I was frustrated that Ajak didn’t support Druig, like she supported Ikaris when it came to romance. Then I realized, it’s because she does not exactly like him. (Probably because she knows he’s right and he is basically a thorn in her side.) She didn’t tell him to go to parties either. Then she breaks up the team when she couldn’t reign him in. When Druig is mind controlling the village, Sersi literally tells him he’s better then this. That’s all he can do! Blame Arishem. It was only when it looked like Makkari would return Druig’s feelings did anyone have an opinion about it. It was either surprise or disapproval.
fun fact about druig and makkari relationship in the movie. When they started filming their relationship wasn't planned but after seeing the chemestry between Barry (Druig) and Lauren (Makkari) Chloe Zhao decided to add it.
(45:39) for me personally, I kinda like it. Like very well done casting Harry Styles as Eros in this one. And I hope that they'll get a sequel to this. Also Spider-Man: No Way Home Digital Release will be on Feb 28th and I hope that I will see your reaction to that movie too (46:27) that is the Ebony Blade that the Black Knight used in the comics, and Mahershala Ali had a uncredited voice cameo as Eric Brooks/Blade
So it's a big deal to touch the Ebony blade because all wielders of the of the Ebony blade are cursed as soon as they touch it. More than that, the curse is unique to each wielder, so Dane doesn't know exactly what will happen and there's no going back. That's why Blade is asking him if he really wants to go through with it.
Did anyone notice that when the Eternals die their pigmentation becomes kinda gray just like Vision when he died? I wonder does this point to a future interaction between Vision and the Eternals?
I wont lie. I love the commentary. Need more like it. But can we talk about the boss of a female Makkari is? It's obvious that she wasnt going to handle Ikaris. But the effort.. speedsters and teleporters are hands down the best powers out there. I am not sure why cats are hating on this movie.. maybe its cause marvel has changed lives lol.. and when Endgame happened its like ok.. lets tug at the heart strong. All in all.. loved the movie and its not a blockbuster.. but served a good phase in the marvel platform.
I absolutely loved this movie, it's been my most anticipated Movie of 2021 and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The story, The visuals, the feels and humor all balanced well for a movie of this scope. I've seen it a number of times and will see it again and again. Loved your commentary btw.
maybe the reason every other ship in this movie was better than Sersi and Ikaris is exactly to foreshadow that his love isn't all that pure, just like he isn't a good guy in the end. to me, it seems like the only relationship with clear power dynamics. not even Gilgamesh and Thena, that are literally caretaker and person-cared-for, have that.
Druig (Barry Keoghan) is an Eternal who can control other sentient beings, a power he primarily uses to control humans and stop them from fighting as he sees fit. His inspiration may have come from the Greek deity Dolos. Dolos is a minor deity known for being a spirit of mischief and trickery capable of deceiving others into following his will and even tricking the other gods. While Dolos isn’t known to control minds, his trickery and skilled manipulation make it likely that he was at least partially the inspiration for the movie’s version of Druig.
I think that the memory issues by Thena were more from the fact that her memories were being erased incorrectly rather than having too many memories; which is why when the "disease" was mentioned Ajax said the only cure was to have memories erased because the issues were a sign that they were not fully erased.
The thing is, the rest of the Eternals don’t know about the memory erasure. They just think she is delusional, when in actuality she’s remembering her traumatic past on other planets.
druig hated ikaris, phastos disliked him, thena was unsure whether to trust him or not, gilgamesh and makkari were neutral, kingo admired him, ajak adored him, sprite and sersi loved him. This is how it looked to me.
Aww people are so wrong just because it get a lot of hates and they have different opinion than me .wah wah wah wah It deserve hate not a lot but it does when the whole running time of the movie is all about love story sprite, sersi,ikaris, dane and druig and makkari they're too focus on that.I don't know if I'm watching marvel movie or a love story movie..Long flashbacks with unnecessary scenes,lame jokes lastly terrible acting by some (not gonna name drop)to avoid arguments. So yeah hate people who don't like this movie drove away the MCU fans who's just critizing this movie just because it has a lot of flaws..
@@Ustupid22 Personally the acting was great and so was the movie. There were some cringe worthy moments i must admit but please do not insult the actors and actresses because if you think about they still got the role and that says a lot so please once again if you don't like the acting then you should audition and we shall judge your acting skills.
@@abdullahalsarraf7291 Like u said personally that's ur own opinion don't get pissed off by people's opinion cause I'm not piss by yours believe all u want to to their acting And I'm gonna assume ur not familiar with constructive critism..
@@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 now you're against girls? I understand not liking it for that cause I don't like too much changes to the comics either but I still loved the movie.
One of the Eternal’s strongest warriors, Thena (Angelina Jolie) has roots in the Greek goddess Athena. The movie even suggests that Thena was the model for Athena in the MCU, having inspired the ancient Greeks after spending time with them. The patron goddess for Athens, Athena was the Greek goddess of war and wisdom and one of Zeus’s oldest children. Thena’s ability to manifest weapons and her skill with using them makes her the perfect Eternal to embody Athena’s warrior side, while the sage advice she gives to Sersi in the final act of the film shows that she also possesses plenty of her own wisdom.
I got to say, druig and makkari are the best duo and no one can ever argue otherwise, like COME ON GUYS! Makkari is the only one that makes him smile. Also like the thinkers don’t need to know how to fight that’s the thing, druig can easily kill anyone by controlling them to simply snap their necks and Phasos has all the smarts he needs
I was worried that I wasn’t going to like this film because of all of the bad reviews. Although at times I was really confused by the lore of this story I did really enjoy it. I LOVED Druig and Makkari so much and Thena and Gilgamesh were the best platonic soulmates 🥺. I’m excited to see these characters again :)
I got to see Eternals in the cinema with my friends. I fell asleep for a few minutes but my friends woke me up, that's what I like to call the power of friendship.
Definitely more rewarding on a rewatch. I think that's my main gripe with this movie. That said, I completely agree with your comment about the acting selling Ikaris and Sersi's relationship rather than the plotting. I guess we can see why he fell for her but never really get a sense of what she sees in him? I do like Richard Madden's acting when he's wrestling with his emotions at the end though. I love how the differences in the Eternals themselves reflect the diversity in humanity. Not just looks but faith and behaviour too. Kingo being "with" Ikaris but unwilling to use might to enforce his feelings is such a brave choice in a superhero movie and I love that he sticks to his (finger) guns and doesn't show up to "save the day". I think this movie gets better the more I see it. There's so much to chew on. Thanks for another great video. Love your channel! (Also appreciate your running commentary on the editing process on Twitter. 😂)
@@MonicaCatapusan What can I say? You're a deeply entertaining personality! RUclips is lucky to have you. P.S. I just realised you're from Cebu and that's so damn cool because it's one of my favourite places in the world. It's just been long enough ago that I was there for me to recognise Visayan. Ooops. Salamat sa imong talagsaong buhat.
"There's gonna be sand in her coochie" NGL, I had the exact same reaction, initially. XD But nthen later I realized that she can just turn it into water. Being an Eternal has its perks. 😂
samee. I did what most people told me to and lowered my expectations, and then realized i didnt have to, it would've been alright if i didnt lower my expectations. It's the most hit or miss movie marvel has realized to date and dare i say it hit me like a truck
I am a comic book geek. I like the change they made with the characters. I also thought it was intesting how Ikaris being associated with the sun would be the one to be loyal to Arishem prime Celestial, who just so happen to have created the sun. Druig, Makkari, Ajak, Gilgamesh and Thena were my favorite. Angelina Jolie (Thena) composes an opera aria when with each movement. She is just so graceful. Druig and his love for humanity, Makkari is just so beautiful and pure. She deserved more screen time. Gilgamesh and Ajak.. Who doesn't love a momma bear and poppa bear figure? Also I gotta give it up to my two beautiful fellow latina's in this move. I am a half latina as well. 💜💜
Ikaris' only mistake for me was him letting the Deviants kill Ajak. He couldve restrained her if he wanted to and just alerted the other Eternals that he'd found more Deviants to keep them distracted. Im also pretty sure he's not dead too. They"re really trying to tell me that these beings hand created by Celestials and full of 'unlimited cosmic energy' could be killed by our sun? I really respect them for trying, but you dont cast Richard Madden in a role like this and have him be a 1 and done, theyll be back in the sequel for sure.. him, Gilgamesh and Ajak.
Ikaris isn't dead, but I'm pretty sure the body he flew into the Sun is gone. Ajak isn't dead either. They are synthetic beings, with the plans for their bodies and their memories safely stored at the World Forge (But not their memories of Earth, unless Arishem did periodic downloads).
@@CyGea yes i don't believe ikaris as a character will never return (not to mention that'd be a huge waste of the talent that is richard madden), but the ikaris from this film is probably gone. i think the most obvious way to bring him back is for a duplicate ikaris (possibly upgraded?) to be presented by the celestials. the unfortunate thing would be that THAT ikaris would not have the same memories as the one who flew into the sun, but perhaps that's a good thing considering so many people prefer druig/makkari and thena/gilgamesh over ikaris/sersi.
@@nebullae i mean i loved the potential ikaris had in this movie i also love richard madden but it's probably better if this ikaris is gone, he wouldn't have been able to bear the regret of even attempting to kill sersi, not to mention killing other friends.
Part of Ikarus and Sersi’s emotionless relationship is that Ikarus barely grows past being a prime objective following artificial intelligence. So it doesn’t connect with us emotional beings.
Dane Whitman in the comics is the black knight and that sword is called the Ebony blade it's one of the most powerful weapons in the marvel universe. It can kill celestials
Ppl are annoyed by Sprite, but I feel sad for her. Imagine being a kid for 7000 years, y’all be rebelling being treated like a kid at 18, imagine HER?!
Oh for sure! And honestly the worst she does is injure Sersi. I think the movie does a really good job of showing us why she makes the decision that she does as well, and not just because of her feelings for Ikaris
@@sabinakulagina2594 ah, I see. I love the MCU and i wanna read the comics ‘cause it sounds interesting. BUT, there are a lot of versions out there and I don’t know where to start...
I really liked it a lot, too! Not my favorite of the recent MCU movies let alone MCU movies but it’s really a good watch and progresses the over arching story forward in an interesting way. That’s what’s important
@@MonicaCatapusan so I liked Black Widow (it definitely didn’t have the best climax or villain but still) and I’d put Eternals above it. So for the newest movies with none of them being had I’d say it goes. Black Widow, Far From Home, Eternals, Shang-Chi, No Way Home If you ask me, between Eternals, Shang-Chi and No Way Home, this new phase is fresh and fun as ever.
Eternals is great! While there are plenty of fair criticisms much of the ‘hate’ the film received was manufactured by the usual suspects that have problems with diverse casts.
You know as a black person i find that defense offensive because I know that the movie is boring and you using it as an excuse for its criticism makes us look bad
@@sethgriffin3754 Boring to YOU. But, yeah, a lot of the whining is butthurt white boys who do this with every movie where a straight white dude isn’t front and center. She didn’t find it boring. In fact, few reactions here seem to have that problem. Maybe it’s just a little to cerebral for all y’all.
the thing I find most interesting about the whole thing is that Ikaris was so closed minded and his need to protect his family is what cause him to miss out on the things right in front of him and it goes to show him killing himself reveled how he felt about it, just goes to show he wasn't a bad person he was just loyal to the wrong person (Areshim) I also feel like with Sersi and Ikaris being in love is saying that it was just instant because of how long they've been alive I think who we see together in age and time is who always been together weather its fast or slow and this came to me when I was reading something and with Sersi and Ikaris the love may have been so deep that there was no actual falling in love but more of instant love where it didn't really take much but that's just my opinion
IMO sersi and Dane are a better match. Even ikaris and thena have more of an enemies to lovers chemistry. Thena and Gilgamesh/druig and makkari are my fav ships
17:40 So far, I heard this takes place the same time as Spider-Man: Far from Home. Kind of makes sense why Shield/Sword believed Mysterio being from another universe when all this is going on lol
I agree this film was incredible, totally underrated I think gemma chan was remarkable in this more than captain marvel. I'm so glad you decided to give it a chance, Can't wait to see more. I also recommend either Final Space or The Dark Crystal Age Of Resistance the prequel series to the film The Dark Crystal. Both are underrated masterpieces and I think they would be great additions to your creative channel Or evan the Godzilla films. Can't wait to see you have next keep up the great work you rock!!
Believe me, Harry Styles is actually PERFECT for Eros. Especially with the type of person Eros is. As for Thanos, he's not part Deviant. He's full blood Eternal, but is mutated by the Deviant Syndrome. It's just made him look like a Deviant.
Thanos isn’t deviant. He’s full eternal. He just has a mutation that makes him look like a deviant. Just like someone who may be black but has an albino mutation.
22:34 That question of whether Sersi could do that the whole time is explained later in the movie near the end, they were getting so close to the Emergence, so all of them were connecting to Tiamut, and he was making them stronger unintentionally, so all of them got more powerful as the movie went on. I think that was what happened, because they said that's why they survived all the previous Emergence's because they would connect to the Celestial being born right before they emerged. So they were doing that every time, They were only a couple of days away from the Emergence(7 days) so it makes sense that their power increase was due to Tiamut. Also I love Druig as well. I didn't care much for him until we saw all the scenes of him and Makkari together. They really did steal the movie for me. Apparently Druig's powers aren't just mind control, it is a kind of Telepathy, he can sense the motives and thoughts of those around him and influence them, That's why when Icarus came into the room and they were asking him questions, he wasn't really responding about them but Druig immediately knew that Icarus had killed Ajax. Also I have an idea that when Phastos was talking to everyone and Druig bumped Makkari's shoulder that he read her mind and that she had thought of something and he thought it was funny so bumped her to let her know he heard and that's why they looked at each other and giggled. That or they were just being playful, but I think it really changes a lot of scenes with them when they are being all cute.
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but after the Eternals comic book was canceled in the 70s, the Thor books finished the saga, So wearing Mjölnir is appropriate for this movie.
I just watched the movie and I really liked it. It was fun to watch definitely not perfect but I would watch it again. And I agree screw the critics. Can't wait to see the future for eternals. Also I am glad I didn't watch this movie in the cinema with my mom like I had planned.
Don’t forget to submit any questions to my community post for my Q&A video! I’m hoping to film sometime next week✨
Will you be watching Euphoria season 2 bestie?
Hey If you want you should react to the maze runnner movie it’s pretty good I think you’d like it☺️🔥
And I enjoyed this movie too
And I agree on your opinion with the sex scene and the love story
Please 1 day watch coco from Disney + age 6
the relationship that shined the most was either Druig and Makari or Thena and Gilgamesh. Allot of people dismiss the fact that Gilgamesh gave up his chance at small freedom in order to be her care taker and was the only one strong enough to defend himself from her attacks.
RIGHT RIGHT!
Oh for sure! Gilgamesh is 100% my favourite character and doesn’t get NEARLY enough praise or hype
Agree even though the Sprite/Kingo, Ikaris/Ajak, Ikaris/Sersi, Kingo/Ikaris, Sprite/Ikaris relationships were also interesting to me
Man I love him so much.
@@MonicaCatapusan I hope he comes back! It's possible since Eternals in the comics die and come back in the world forge all the time
Her being blown away by Druig throught the entire movie was LITERALLY ME. 😍
Yes girl, I feel you! 👏🏼
Fun fact is that “Drakkari” wasn’t planned by Chloe Zhao; she was planning to hint at Druig and SERSI having possibly had a fling in the past. It’s because Barry Keoghan and Lauren Ridloff had TREMENDOUS chemistry (they actually improved the loving Bradbury, to the surprise of the other cast and crew) that Zhao and the screenwriters changed their plans to capitalise on them getting along so naturally.
wait so Sersi was supposed to have 3 love interests? 😅
@@sabinakulagina2594 gaddamn Gemma Chan getting all the dudes 😂🤣
So glad they didn't end up implying Sersi and Druig was a thing...too much of a trope for the foil of the leader to have a love triangle with the leader's girl and this movie was great at subverting most tropes. Because Druig and Ikaris are absolutely foils to each other.
@@thuirthiawindsong also, I notice Druig never uses his mind control on other Eternals. Is it that he does not want to, the consequences too severe, or is it that he can’t? The movie never answers that. He didn’t even attempt to defend himself against Ikaris. He was such a sitting duck. 🤣
the first time i watched this movie, I fell in love with Drukkari, Druig, AND Makkari. absolutely perfect couple
Honestly!!! And we only get like 3 scenes with them😭 We were ROBBED
Druig’s voice made me melts like a butter. “You’re gonna have to make me” yes girl I know you think it’s hot too
His voiceeeee honestlyyyy
Literally Makkari is the best! And I did not expect to love her relationship with Druig. I don’t much care for speedsters in general cuz they bore me but Makkari was sooooo fun to watch! So dynamic!
The romance scene between Sersi and Ikarus was actually really uncomfortable for me. Maybe I didn’t like the way it was framed.
And I totally thought Ajak couldn’t be dead! I was like okay…Ajak…is coming back. Just…waaait for it. 🤣 They got us gooood. That plane CG was so bad like first Charlie’s Angel CG bad 🤣
Gil is so damn soft I fricken love how he cares for Thena. I cried several times in theater. Because of these two as well as Phastos’s loss of faith after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and seeing Druig caring so much for humanity but not being able to do anything. I feel that so deeply.
druig is such a complicated dude lol u never know what he's thinking
@@inzaghiscornsalad7034Except when he is with Makkari 😂.
By far the best looking Marvel movie! The magic of having real sets combined with cg makes the imagery stunning and the world feel real! The moment when Tiamut breaks the waters surface gives me chills! So does seeing the scale of the Celestials to everything! Gives me goosebumps! This film took visuals to the next level! Shoutout to Chloe and the CG Artists! Also, the plot and m0vie in general wasn't bad. It was really good! one of my fav's. idk what the critics were going on about.
Critics were butthurt just because of the genesis theory in the movie and the LGBT sequences,and in reality the movie was great...
This movie had Captain Marvel syndrome, being attacked by snowflakes
Best movie 20 oscar deserve this and 10/10 best movie ever made in human history, that is captain marvel.
Same here. It’s my favorite marvel movie
@@nerds4life19 It wasnt cause of that
You’re absolutely right! I hadn’t noticed that Ikaris was always in front of the sun like that. That’s definitely foreshadowing!
Pun intended?

Ikaris die of covid. He didn't get his booster.
I first thought it was just a clever reference to the Ikaris story but turns out it meant more than that👀😅
I don't understand why a lot of people are saying bad things about this movie. For me it was a really good movie and all the reaction I saw on RUclips were positive. I understand that people not necessarily have to like this kind of movie but the bad things they are saying about Eternals is very exaggerated.
I am anxious to see what is coming on the future of the Eternals in the MCU.
Snowflakes. Someone on twitter actually looked up most of the bad critics to this movie & majority of them are legit straight white men, proving what Brie Larson said years ago about movie critics is right. They don't like diversity & minority in film industry & this movie has that, even if they handled it well without forcing them in ur face.
This movie has flaws ofc. Mainly the pacing & some of the characters development & the plot could have been written better. But it's no way terrible or a mess like all these people are saying. It's pretty good. Esp with such crowded actors & big history they've. I think they'd make an Eternal tv show to solve this issue. It'll make them & their history on earth fleshed out even more.
Best movie 20 oscar deserve this and 10/10 best movie ever made in human history
@@resurgingflame and speaking of tv show
The writer say they are interest of making an eternals tv series
And yeah i do think it's a great movie
@@resurgingflame and people keep denying this lmao. There are people who are very fragile about representation and they keep denying it. My dad who's catholic hated this movie for the gay kiss part and that ruined the entire movie for him. like bruh. if that happens in a normal household, what more inside these powerful cishet white men organizations.
This is by far my least favorite MCU movies. It was a struggle to get through the first half, though I found it picked up in the second half. I just thought it managed to be boring AND trying to do too much at the same time.
I mean, I loved the sfx, I generally loved the broad strokes of the plot, I loved the representation, and Makkari's speedster stuff is my favorite depiction of speedsters ever. The sfx of Celestials... hoo boy!
But it was such a struggle to sit through.
The biggest thing I appreciated about Eternals was there was technically no bad guys, just drama and conflict over purpose.
The guy who threw his family in with monsters to die seems like a bit of a bad guy to me.
Well the androids who only had one job, to safeguard and ensure the cycle of life, and who selfishly abandoned said duty so that new universes, worlds, and species now won't get a chance to exist like we once did from the previous cycle... they seem like bad guys to me.
“My beautiful, beautiful Makkari” 😭
He melts me every time
Thena is also the cousin of Thanos in the comics.
I also enjoyed this movie. They did a great job making it seem like they all knew each other for millennia. I agree on the ships. I loved Gilgamesh and Thena.
I really hope they get reincarnated again
No shit sherlock
I've heard complaints of the movie lacking of fight scenes. Like do people seriously expect a fight every 5 seconds in a 2 hour long movie? Especially since it's introducing a team of new characters Like seriously
Omg I’ve heard that too, feel like those people have a short attention span tbh. This movie did really story building while still having great fight scenes I thought
@@MonicaCatapusan these people are used to complaining over anything good. people are selfish in modern society and only want what they want.... its hard to make a movie for general audiences when people are so opinionated and narcissistic
our society sucks when it comes to good media these days because someone will ALWAYS COMPLAIN! i loved this movie
@@LilGRaven you bring up such a good point - i noticed similar complaints about loki and their “filler” episodes not having enough action or shocking dramatic scenes. instant satisfaction doesn’t always work. storylines, character arcs and world building takes time to grow properly, and sometimes the slow burn pays off in big ways.
@@clarradactyl7791 social media has made people impatient. they dont have the attention spans as they used to, to be able to sit through character driven moments, all they are expecting are the big boom boom spectacles.
I love the title of this video and I wholeheartedly agree. This movie was great and the cosmic implications are so awesome and that last scene with Arishem splitting the sky...ooohhhh...chills. Loved it. Cannot wait to see where the Eternals pop up next.
The thing about Ikaris stance it's that while it is a betrayal of his "family" it is not without any basis or even wrong if you view it from the POV of the greater good... And it wasn't just him like you said; Sprite has her feelings towards Ikaris but even before that moment when she went with Ikaris she showed that she was in favor of the Celestial's original plan; so was Kingo, he didn't take part on that later fight because he wasn't going to fight against his family but he did actually sided with Ikaris' stance.
He obviously displays blind allegiance towards Arishem and the Celestial's designs but that doesn't mean that he is wrong and he did tried to stay true to his beliefs without hurting the rest of the Eternals, he did what he did to Ajax to force the rest of them to remain occupied enough for the emergence to happen, he could've easily went around the world killing all of them one by one and that would've 100% made sure that the emergence will happen without problems.
And I think there is one big part of his motivation that people seemed to miss or perhaps the movie failed to make it more clear; He not only respected Arishem and the Celestials as creators but he also feared them (very rightly so) and mostly he feared what Arishem was going to do to them and specially Sersi if they went against his plan... When they went to see Druig and they were talking he voiced something very important about his character and his motivations when he said to Sersi that he was afraid of what her desire to stop the emergence was going to do to put her in the crosshairs of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse, specially the line he says to her: "I'm not powerful enough to protect you from him"... Ikaris is very confident in himself and he is clearly the most powerful among them, among the most powerful characters in Marvel, but he is not blind to the fact that if Arishem wanted to hurt Sersi there is not a fucking thing he could do to protect her.
very good point about ikaris fearing the repercussions! i think ultimately ikaris was influenced both by the fact that the eternals were meant to follow the celestials' orders and that he believed he was doing what was necessary for the greater good. of course, he never felt the same love for humanity that sersi (and a couple others, like phastos and ajak) did but he didn't support the celestials because he thought humanity didn't deserve to be saved. like you said, if he was really that evil he could've picked them off one by one, or just allowed the deviants to kill them all. there's a lot of nuance to his character and while it's understandable for the other eternals to lash out at him and label him as a betrayer, a coward, etc the complexity of his actions shouldn't be ignored.
he almost succeeded also, but it was obvious he wasn't gonna be able to kill sersi. He even tried. He's willing to sacrifice anything for the 'greater good', but draws the line when it comes to sersi.
100% agree to this comment, everything said is true. I loved Ikaris unlike many people, but his motive wasn't so bad, it's just the betrayal of family that didn't seat well with me. N I think this is another reason he killed himself, he knew he couldn't protect sersi after wat they had all done.
THIS! Especially the last part. A lot of people keep saying he had that toxic masculinity strength shit going on but no, he was scared because he knew what the consequences would be. And his point was only proven when Arishem does pull up on them at the end of the movie and no one could do anything, just slumped over like dolls that had their batteries taken out. He knew utterly helpless they would be when - not if - when Arishem showed up. So, in his own way he was trying to protect them from that judgement.
@@nebullae A lot of people be making wild takes about Ikaris (he underminded Sersi's leadership or he was a dick to the others or even that he was abusive), straight up ignoring his nuance and complexity so that their hate for him and headcanons work. It's really frustrating. You don't need to love or agree with him but don't reduce a well written character into a one-dimensional villain.
Let’s all take a moment to collectively simp for sleeveless Druig
So happy I wasn’t the only one😭
35:31 no one's paying enough attention to Lauren's _raw voice._ that's the equivalent of a shout, a shriek of pain. Duuuuuuuudes.
I called it Megamind instead of Unimind. 😂 And yes, omg. I agree with the whole Ikaris-Sersi love story being lacking. The scene where Ikaris was crying in front of Sersi was supposed to be heartbreaking because they were in love for thousands of years but it did nothing for me. 😬 I was just like "okay Ikaris, eat shit" 😂
Yeah honestly the could have not been in love and the plot would still be fine. There relationship was given no attention to the point where i really didn’t care about them
Megamind is great😂 Looool literally!! Richard Madden’s acting is phenomenal don’t get me wrong, but this scene still did nothing for me because I couldn’t care less about their relationship😭
I really liked the film! of course it wasn't perfect, but way better than I heard it described by others
Oh for sure! It’s definitely not perfect but I was so surprised at how many people HATE it😭 I think it’s great
Druig and Makkari ughhhh the best ship 🖤😭
They’re everything to me
Fucking loved this movie, glad I actually sat down and watched this instead of listening to reviews
Yesss!! It’s so good! It’s not perfect of course but I loved it so much, it’s up there with my top MCU movies tbh. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video✨
This is a video of Monica simping over Druig and Ikaris and I 100% support that
I’m not even ashamed😂
Thank you for watching it. Eros has the power to manipulate peoples emotions like when he fights in the comics he makes the bad guys all happy and stuff.
Can't wait to see him use that ability
He's also... not a very good person despite being superhero. At one point he was put on trial for abusing his powers
@@JBWinter but it was Thanos who was controlling his mind.
If you’re curious when this took place, it’s after Shang Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings but before the tv series Hawkeye!
oooh! i was wondering about that, thanks for sharing 🧡
it's 2 & 3 weeks after endgame. so before shang-chi and hawkeye. endgame happens somewhere in the summer. then wandavision happens, tfatws too. hawkeye & spiderman nwh ending is in December. I'm guessing shang-chi would be like October the same year
I love Druig so much too ❤️❤️ Also it’s nice seeing the movie with clear lighting. Also I love seeing Sprite appreciation since I’ve seen Sprite dislike for last 3 months
I’ve read somewhere that Ikaris is supposed to portray the male gaze. If you look all of their “falling in love” scenes, Ikaris is always looking at Cersi, but she doesn’t really look back at him.
Because Sersi is so easily loveable. She is compassionate and kind and wants to help people. It's really easy for Ikaris to fall in love with her. And the movie makes it a little plausible that she'd fall in love with him because he's trying for her (learning the human languages to be closer to her and letting her guide him through being among the humans...after not trying for 4500 years of course, but we'll gloss over that) but he never really gets it, so anything she feels for him is built on an unstable foundation.
Phastos said Ikaris always underestimated Sersi.
I agree, I think a lot of it is he’s in love with her and she’s no longer in love with him. Like we get a sign that he was enraptured with her the moment they came to life whereas she was in love with Earth first. He was always going to choose her and she was always going to choose humanity
Excellent point.
Found my fellow Drukarri ship crew! And I can't, everytime whenever Druig's on screen, I can't contain my excitement and fangirl. Same sis! This movie was amazing too!! Great reaction~~ ^^
All the Drukkari stans have gathered under this video😂 and thank you!🥰
My problem with the "sex on the beach" scene is that it's not necessary at all. The previous scene told us everything we need to know about their union. In those few minutes they could have shown us something relevant to the story or to some other character's development.
That’s exactly it. You can imply it so easily but they chose to do this pointlessly instead
i really enjoyed this movie too! it’s so cool to see the MCU show something different. love the exploration of themes in philosophy & theology. such a beautiful film with epic music to go along with it as well!
Yes!! I think people just enjoy the basic story telling formula that the MCU is known for and are thrown when the directing and writing branches out to try new things. I loved the directing of Eternals and I think it’s a great origins movie
Eternals commentary? NO
50 minutes of Druig SIMPING? TOTALLY
You got me😭
I liked this movie a lot more the second time watching it. I don’t know why everyone hates it so much. Lol. Druig was my favorite character too. Him and Makari had way more chemistry than Ikaris and Sersi. I love seeing Marvel delve more into this type of territory.
What territory space? Done. Love? Done💀
of course druig-makkari won it but i refuse to give up on ikaris-sersi lol i be crushing on them
The thing is, Makkari & Druig are hotter with just a few moments of nuzzling and snuggling, then Ikaris and Sersi having a sex scene and most of the screen time.
That’s a problem.
Now, I don’t know how they would solve that, but I am glad Chloe Zhao added the Drukkari romance into the movie.
Seeing how everyone is supportive of Ikaris and Sersi’s relationship, to the point of Ajak playing matchmaker, yet with Druig they don’t support him at all with his OBVIOUS crush on Makkari, says a lot about family dynamics and tension. I mean who calls someone “my beautiful…” unless they have feelings for that person?
Ajak seems to see Druig as her least favourite. Yet… she knew he was right more then he even knew. She seemed quite pissed off with him and does not play match maker for him, even to just distract him.
When it looks like Makkari FINALLY realizes she is in love with Druig after 2000 years, Kingo explicitly says he does not like them getting together and Phastos is straight up surprised. (For a speedster to take 2 millennia to realize she in love… girl, what are you doing?)
Kingo was even supportive of poor Sprite and her unrequited feelings, but for Druig…nope. Nothing.
Druig was totally the black sheep of the family.
Ikaris and Sersi give me first love vibes. But only on Sersi’s part… its like a younger woman and slightly older more experienced man. Her and Dane have more of a connection for sure.
Only druig, phastos, and thena disliked Icarus. Kingo admired him, sprite was crushing on him, sersi liked that bland Icarus D, ajax I guess thought he was the leader, makkari was okay or neutral with him, Gilgamesh teased but didn't dislike him
no u didnt do sersi like that-
I think ajak viewed him as a prodigy for her or like a son as she’s a maternal figure for all of them which makes sersi’s line “she loved you she loved you” hurt more along with the line “I’ve led you down the wrong path”
I thought that when Phastos clamped Ikaris to the ground, the rings holding him were just a bunch of the "bracelets" (they were siphoning off his power), and one stayed on him.
With Sprite, Druig could have put one on her after he knocked her out.
They explain it as, Tiamut joined the Uni-mind and they were ALL connected to Tiamut.
So, no bracelets needed.
I love this move! I know some people think it’s boring but like you said. Haters can hate. ❤️
Definitely not boring with great action sequences but the characters were very lackluster
People who think it’s boring just have short attention spans tbh, they want fight after fight with zero story building🙄 I think the balance was great especially for an origins movie
Whenever Druig comes on screen, I keep laughing because we're both simping and I'm almost always saying the same thing as you XD we're hopeless
There’s no saving us from this😭
i am sooooo relating to her reactions cause when i first watched eternals i too was simping for Druig the entire time
He was so distracting😭
Eternals was reviewed bombed before it even came out in theaters there are many articles written about that and that heavily skewed the critic ratings. Until they change the format and make sure people have actually watched the movie before you can rate and review it don't take it seriously. The audience rating is 80% so that's what really matters. It's not the best MCU movie but it's nowhere close to the worst.
THANK U🤗
78% audience score it decreased
FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED THE SMALL DETAIL OF IKARIS AND THE SUN BEING BEHIND HIM IN ALMOST EVERY SHOT OTHER THAN ME AND RELATE IT TO THE ORIGINAL STORY
AND YES THE BLACK KNIGHT HAS A DEEP LORE.....
I absolutely loved this movie lmfao😭my sister cannot go a second without saying “I need Eternals part 2 NOW”
Kingo is another of the Eternals without a clear parallel to a deity. One influence might have been Dionysus, god of theatre and wine. This influence can be seen through Kingo’s love of performance; he’s spent his time on Earth acting in movie after movie for a century, passing himself off as his own grandson to maintain the illusion of agelessness. This combined with a sense of flamboyance suggests Dionysus could be Kingo’s inspiration.
they want us to focus on ikaris and sersi but makkari druig thena and gilgamesh got me, they're so wholesome
Funny because Harry Styles and Barry Keoghan both starred in Dunkirk (which is the war movie you was talking about).
"druig and makkari. the end" LMAO same girl same
All you need to know tbh😂
druig always looks at makkari like he's getting married to her every single second and NOBODY noticed lol
I think they noticed, they just didn’t care as Druig was the family reject.
I was so distracted by Druig and Makkari’s chemistry the first time I saw the movie. I was frustrated that Ajak didn’t support Druig, like she supported Ikaris when it came to romance. Then I realized, it’s because she does not exactly like him.
(Probably because she knows he’s right and he is basically a thorn in her side.)
She didn’t tell him to go to parties either. Then she breaks up the team when she couldn’t reign him in.
When Druig is mind controlling the village, Sersi literally tells him he’s better then this. That’s all he can do! Blame Arishem.
It was only when it looked like Makkari would return Druig’s feelings did anyone have an opinion about it. It was either surprise or disapproval.
@@LadyScaper exactly, ajak was part of the problem
Drukkari supremacy shall reign forever!!! Wonderful video reaction.
Also, shoutout to you on the ATLA reference on the Firelord.
fun fact about druig and makkari relationship in the movie. When they started filming their relationship wasn't planned but after seeing the chemestry between Barry (Druig) and Lauren (Makkari) Chloe Zhao decided to add it.
Love how they used ASL signs for The Second time in the Marvel universe
Looove
(45:39) for me personally, I kinda like it. Like very well done casting Harry Styles as Eros in this one. And I hope that they'll get a sequel to this. Also Spider-Man: No Way Home Digital Release will be on Feb 28th and I hope that I will see your reaction to that movie too
(46:27) that is the Ebony Blade that the Black Knight used in the comics, and Mahershala Ali had a uncredited voice cameo as Eric Brooks/Blade
eros till yet giving off a fun spontaneous energetic fluff 'i'll make a dad joke every ten seconds' vibe, couldn't have done better casting
So it's a big deal to touch the Ebony blade because all wielders of the of the Ebony blade are cursed as soon as they touch it. More than that, the curse is unique to each wielder, so Dane doesn't know exactly what will happen and there's no going back. That's why Blade is asking him if he really wants to go through with it.
I don't know why sersi didn't turn the sand into a blanket. Like anakin said, "I don't like sand. Its rough, coarse, and gets everywhere"
She had no mind to spare about small thingy, you know? 😉
@@eunwolfuxian9353 well given the reason why Madden has to wear that skirt in front with his uniform.... 😂
Did anyone notice that when the Eternals die their pigmentation becomes kinda gray just like Vision when he died? I wonder does this point to a future interaction between Vision and the Eternals?
I wont lie. I love the commentary. Need more like it. But can we talk about the boss of a female Makkari is? It's obvious that she wasnt going to handle Ikaris. But the effort.. speedsters and teleporters are hands down the best powers out there. I am not sure why cats are hating on this movie.. maybe its cause marvel has changed lives lol.. and when Endgame happened its like ok.. lets tug at the heart strong. All in all.. loved the movie and its not a blockbuster.. but served a good phase in the marvel platform.
I think people didn’t like it because it didn’t feel like a typical marvel movie and didn’t follow the formula that people are used to
Love she going crazy everytime Drukkari is in scene! 100% represented
I absolutely loved this movie, it's been my most anticipated Movie of 2021 and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The story, The visuals, the feels and humor all balanced well for a movie of this scope. I've seen it a number of times and will see it again and again. Loved your commentary btw.
maybe the reason every other ship in this movie was better than Sersi and Ikaris is exactly to foreshadow that his love isn't all that pure, just like he isn't a good guy in the end. to me, it seems like the only relationship with clear power dynamics. not even Gilgamesh and Thena, that are literally caretaker and person-cared-for, have that.
Druig (Barry Keoghan) is an Eternal who can control other sentient beings, a power he primarily uses to control humans and stop them from fighting as he sees fit. His inspiration may have come from the Greek deity Dolos. Dolos is a minor deity known for being a spirit of mischief and trickery capable of deceiving others into following his will and even tricking the other gods. While Dolos isn’t known to control minds, his trickery and skilled manipulation make it likely that he was at least partially the inspiration for the movie’s version of Druig.
I think that the memory issues by Thena were more from the fact that her memories were being erased incorrectly rather than having too many memories; which is why when the "disease" was mentioned Ajax said the only cure was to have memories erased because the issues were a sign that they were not fully erased.
The thing is, the rest of the Eternals don’t know about the memory erasure. They just think she is delusional, when in actuality she’s remembering her traumatic past on other planets.
druig hated ikaris, phastos disliked him, thena was unsure whether to trust him or not, gilgamesh and makkari were neutral, kingo admired him, ajak adored him, sprite and sersi loved him. This is how it looked to me.
Thank you. Critics and haters are wrong but each to their own. I loved it too! Loved your reaction!!
Aww people are so wrong just because it get a lot of hates and they have different opinion than me
.wah wah wah wah
It deserve hate not a lot but it does when the whole running time of the movie is all about love story sprite, sersi,ikaris, dane and druig and makkari they're too focus on that.I don't know if I'm watching marvel movie or a love story movie..Long flashbacks with unnecessary scenes,lame jokes lastly terrible acting by some (not gonna name drop)to avoid arguments.
So yeah hate people who don't like this movie drove away the MCU fans who's just critizing this movie just because it has a lot of flaws..

@@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 now you're against girls? I understand not liking it for that cause I don't like too much changes to the comics either but I still loved the movie.
One of the Eternal’s strongest warriors, Thena (Angelina Jolie) has roots in the Greek goddess Athena. The movie even suggests that Thena was the model for Athena in the MCU, having inspired the ancient Greeks after spending time with them. The patron goddess for Athens, Athena was the Greek goddess of war and wisdom and one of Zeus’s oldest children. Thena’s ability to manifest weapons and her skill with using them makes her the perfect Eternal to embody Athena’s warrior side, while the sage advice she gives to Sersi in the final act of the film shows that she also possesses plenty of her own wisdom.
I got to say, druig and makkari are the best duo and no one can ever argue otherwise, like COME ON GUYS! Makkari is the only one that makes him smile. Also like the thinkers don’t need to know how to fight that’s the thing, druig can easily kill anyone by controlling them to simply snap their necks and Phasos has all the smarts he needs
I was worried that I wasn’t going to like this film because of all of the bad reviews. Although at times I was really confused by the lore of this story I did really enjoy it. I LOVED Druig and Makkari so much and Thena and Gilgamesh were the best platonic soulmates 🥺. I’m excited to see these characters again :)
I got to see Eternals in the cinema with my friends. I fell asleep for a few minutes but my friends woke me up, that's what I like to call the power of friendship.
Druig is the epitome of Hotness. Huhu. I'm such a simp for Druig and Makkari ..✨✨ non the less the movie was so great. Love you reaction 🤩
Yeah!!! I don’t get why so many ppl hated this movie me and my family came out of the theaters hyped and shocked 😭💀
Literally I loved it coming out of the cinema and then went on Twitter and read al the terrible reviews like what????? I am confusion
Definitely more rewarding on a rewatch. I think that's my main gripe with this movie.
That said, I completely agree with your comment about the acting selling Ikaris and Sersi's relationship rather than the plotting. I guess we can see why he fell for her but never really get a sense of what she sees in him? I do like Richard Madden's acting when he's wrestling with his emotions at the end though.
I love how the differences in the Eternals themselves reflect the diversity in humanity. Not just looks but faith and behaviour too. Kingo being "with" Ikaris but unwilling to use might to enforce his feelings is such a brave choice in a superhero movie and I love that he sticks to his (finger) guns and doesn't show up to "save the day".
I think this movie gets better the more I see it. There's so much to chew on.
Thanks for another great video. Love your channel! (Also appreciate your running commentary on the editing process on Twitter. 😂)
Yes the rewatch was much more rewarding! Omg you follow me on Twitter😂 I’m happy I’m keeping you entertained on both social media apps😂✨
@@MonicaCatapusan What can I say? You're a deeply entertaining personality! RUclips is lucky to have you.
P.S. I just realised you're from Cebu and that's so damn cool because it's one of my favourite places in the world. It's just been long enough ago that I was there for me to recognise Visayan. Ooops. Salamat sa imong talagsaong buhat.
"There's gonna be sand in her coochie"
NGL, I had the exact same reaction, initially. XD
But nthen later I realized that she can just turn it into water.
Being an Eternal has its perks. 😂
Sersi's OTP is clearly Sersi/Earth
Yeah
When i finished the movie i was like
"SCREW THE CRITICS , TOP 2 ON MY FAV MCU FILM"
TOP 2?! Lmao i know it’s all opinion but this movie was easily more flawed than more than two marvel movies
i didn't get the hate this movie got. like its not amazing, but its in the top half of the MCU catalog for me.
samee. I did what most people told me to and lowered my expectations, and then realized i didnt have to, it would've been alright if i didnt lower my expectations. It's the most hit or miss movie marvel has realized to date and dare i say it hit me like a truck
Top half is definitely where I’d rank it. It’s not my favourite but it’s top tier for sure
I am a comic book geek. I like the change they made with the characters. I also thought it was intesting how Ikaris being associated with the sun would be the one to be loyal to Arishem prime Celestial, who just so happen to have created the sun.
Druig, Makkari, Ajak, Gilgamesh and Thena were my favorite. Angelina Jolie (Thena) composes an opera aria when with each movement. She is just so graceful. Druig and his love for humanity, Makkari is just so beautiful and pure. She deserved more screen time. Gilgamesh and Ajak.. Who doesn't love a momma bear and poppa bear figure? Also I gotta give it up to my two beautiful fellow latina's in this move. I am a half latina as well. 💜💜
Ikaris' only mistake for me was him letting the Deviants kill Ajak. He couldve restrained her if he wanted to and just alerted the other Eternals that he'd found more Deviants to keep them distracted.
Im also pretty sure he's not dead too. They"re really trying to tell me that these beings hand created by Celestials and full of 'unlimited cosmic energy' could be killed by our sun? I really respect them for trying, but you dont cast Richard Madden in a role like this and have him be a 1 and done, theyll be back in the sequel for sure.. him, Gilgamesh and Ajak.
Ikaris isn't dead, but I'm pretty sure the body he flew into the Sun is gone.
Ajak isn't dead either.
They are synthetic beings, with the plans for their bodies and their memories safely stored at the World Forge (But not their memories of Earth, unless Arishem did periodic downloads).
@@CyGea yes i don't believe ikaris as a character will never return (not to mention that'd be a huge waste of the talent that is richard madden), but the ikaris from this film is probably gone. i think the most obvious way to bring him back is for a duplicate ikaris (possibly upgraded?) to be presented by the celestials. the unfortunate thing would be that THAT ikaris would not have the same memories as the one who flew into the sun, but perhaps that's a good thing considering so many people prefer druig/makkari and thena/gilgamesh over ikaris/sersi.
@@nebullae i mean i loved the potential ikaris had in this movie i also love richard madden but it's probably better if this ikaris is gone, he wouldn't have been able to bear the regret of even attempting to kill sersi, not to mention killing other friends.
They can easily be recreated
Part of Ikarus and Sersi’s emotionless relationship is that Ikarus barely grows past being a prime objective following artificial intelligence. So it doesn’t connect with us emotional beings.
Dane Whitman in the comics is the black knight and that sword is called the Ebony blade it's one of the most powerful weapons in the marvel universe. It can kill celestials
Ppl are annoyed by Sprite, but I feel sad for her. Imagine being a kid for 7000 years, y’all be rebelling being treated like a kid at 18, imagine HER?!
Oh for sure! And honestly the worst she does is injure Sersi. I think the movie does a really good job of showing us why she makes the decision that she does as well, and not just because of her feelings for Ikaris
@@MonicaCatapusan exactly!
i really wish they would go with the comics on this part bc originally it was a punishment for her
@@sabinakulagina2594 ah, I see. I love the MCU and i wanna read the comics ‘cause it sounds interesting. BUT, there are a lot of versions out there and I don’t know where to start...
Druig in the leather jacket was just 👌, I’m a simp I’ll admit it
Join the club😭
I really liked it a lot, too! Not my favorite of the recent MCU movies let alone MCU movies but it’s really a good watch and progresses the over arching story forward in an interesting way. That’s what’s important
Precisely! It doesn’t deserve the hate it gets at ALL. I can understand critiquing a movie but I personally loved this one a lot
@@MonicaCatapusan so I liked Black Widow (it definitely didn’t have the best climax or villain but still) and I’d put Eternals above it. So for the newest movies with none of them being had I’d say it goes. Black Widow, Far From Home, Eternals, Shang-Chi, No Way Home
If you ask me, between Eternals, Shang-Chi and No Way Home, this new phase is fresh and fun as ever.
Ahhh I was waiting for you to react to this!!! Love druig and makkari
“She’ll be fine, she does parcours.” Bahaha that had me wailing
Eternals is great! While there are plenty of fair criticisms much of the ‘hate’ the film received was manufactured by the usual suspects that have problems with diverse casts.
What do you mean? This movie was hated by the same critics that normally love diversity.
That being said I enjoyed the movie, and it was diversity done right.
You know as a black person i find that defense offensive because I know that the movie is boring and you using it as an excuse for its criticism makes us look bad
@@sethgriffin3754 Boring to YOU. But, yeah, a lot of the whining is butthurt white boys who do this with every movie where a straight white dude isn’t front and center. She didn’t find it boring. In fact, few reactions here seem to have that problem. Maybe it’s just a little to cerebral for all y’all.
Honestly, being black doesn’t mean you’re not a fucking homophobe. So take your straw man into a back alley and abort it.
the thing I find most interesting about the whole thing is that Ikaris was so closed minded and his need to protect his family is what cause him to miss out on the things right in front of him and it goes to show him killing himself reveled how he felt about it, just goes to show he wasn't a bad person he was just loyal to the wrong person (Areshim) I also feel like with Sersi and Ikaris being in love is saying that it was just instant because of how long they've been alive I think who we see together in age and time is who always been together weather its fast or slow and this came to me when I was reading something and with Sersi and Ikaris the love may have been so deep that there was no actual falling in love but more of instant love where it didn't really take much but that's just my opinion
Dane"Jon Snow " Whitman has way more chemistry with Circe and I actually cared when he saw her get taken away instead of everything Icarus did
Oh 100%
I don't want to hear any bad words for a wholesome movie. This is the Eternals gang. 😆
My unpopular opinion and MY taste I have put Eternals and Captain Marvel in my personal top 5 of MCU since they just spoke to me!
Don't fully agree with top 5, but I think too, they are way better than their average rating out there.
Drukkari all the way! Also your eyeshadow is just… gorgeous!
The title though: PREACH SISTA! SCREW THEM HATERS! 👏
Yes love the eternals! Can’t wait for their next movie!
IMO sersi and Dane are a better match. Even ikaris and thena have more of an enemies to lovers chemistry. Thena and Gilgamesh/druig and makkari are my fav ships
17:40 So far, I heard this takes place the same time as Spider-Man: Far from Home. Kind of makes sense why Shield/Sword believed Mysterio being from another universe when all this is going on lol
I loved it too i don't understand the critics the visuals are stunning
I agree this film was incredible, totally underrated I think gemma chan was remarkable in this more than captain marvel. I'm so glad you decided to give it a chance, Can't wait to see more. I also recommend either Final Space or The Dark Crystal Age Of Resistance the prequel series to the film The Dark Crystal. Both are underrated masterpieces and I think they would be great additions to your creative channel Or evan the Godzilla films. Can't wait to see you have next keep up the great work you rock!!
Believe me, Harry Styles is actually PERFECT for Eros. Especially with the type of person Eros is. As for Thanos, he's not part Deviant. He's full blood Eternal, but is mutated by the Deviant Syndrome. It's just made him look like a Deviant.
I just watched this movie, perfect timing! And I definitely liked this movie as well. :)
Thanos isn’t deviant. He’s full eternal. He just has a mutation that makes him look like a deviant. Just like someone who may be black but has an albino mutation.
22:34 That question of whether Sersi could do that the whole time is explained later in the movie near the end, they were getting so close to the Emergence, so all of them were connecting to Tiamut, and he was making them stronger unintentionally, so all of them got more powerful as the movie went on. I think that was what happened, because they said that's why they survived all the previous Emergence's because they would connect to the Celestial being born right before they emerged. So they were doing that every time, They were only a couple of days away from the Emergence(7 days) so it makes sense that their power increase was due to Tiamut.
Also I love Druig as well. I didn't care much for him until we saw all the scenes of him and Makkari together. They really did steal the movie for me. Apparently Druig's powers aren't just mind control, it is a kind of Telepathy, he can sense the motives and thoughts of those around him and influence them, That's why when Icarus came into the room and they were asking him questions, he wasn't really responding about them but Druig immediately knew that Icarus had killed Ajax. Also I have an idea that when Phastos was talking to everyone and Druig bumped Makkari's shoulder that he read her mind and that she had thought of something and he thought it was funny so bumped her to let her know he heard and that's why they looked at each other and giggled. That or they were just being playful, but I think it really changes a lot of scenes with them when they are being all cute.
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but after the Eternals comic book was canceled in the 70s, the Thor books finished the saga, So wearing Mjölnir is appropriate for this movie.
I just watched the movie and I really liked it. It was fun to watch definitely not perfect but I would watch it again. And I agree screw the critics. Can't wait to see the future for eternals. Also I am glad I didn't watch this movie in the cinema with my mom like I had planned.
