      I quite liked it I understand why it's hated by some people but I still like it. Honestly Druig was my favorite character outside of Karoum cause picking him would be like asking why would win in a fight A Celestial or some random guy just chilling on a park bench

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  4 месяца назад

      Love Druig! And I really like Karun, too!

    The main issue I have with the Eternals is that the *entire* movie felt like it was exposition leading into another movie. It didn't feel like it was a standalone, it didn't feel like the conflict in the movie was resolved or even all that important to the story. It felt like it was the middle movie in a trilogy where we didn't get the first or third movies.

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  4 месяца назад +2

      Interesting, thanks for sharing!! I personally disagree, but I understand where you're coming from. I think for me, the exposition worked very well within this movie and I thought the ending felt satisfying (Celestial sticking out of the ocean notwithstanding). But then again, I have differing views from many on what I consider a "complete" movie, so totally fine if we disagree on this point (I think Across the Spider-Verse and Dune: Part 1 both feel VERY incomplete, but I know I'm in the minority on that). Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

    i always wished i found the community that appreciates this movie like i do. this movie is one of my favorite messages told in the mcu. my only complaint was execution and the script. it could’ve been more than just its silly bits, but i appreciate how aspiring was with phenomenal vfx visuals.

    • @AccessBlockbusters

    I agree with so much of this! The moral dilemma that each of the Eternals face was so impactful to me. The way that each of them grapples with the toppling of their faith and belief system creates such a unique conflict that we don't really see that much in the MCU. The moral struggle they all face creates an interesting dynamic between the characters and raises cool questions about morality, obligation, and loyalty to a cause/ your family.
    I also agree that the cinematography and character design of Eternals sets it apart from the rest of the MCU in a brilliant way. The story FEELS epic with its extensive lore and timeline, so it makes sense that the visuals would reflect that nature of the story.
    Great video!

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  4 месяца назад

      So glad you enjoy the movie like me!! I think even if people didn't like the movie, there's a space for a different kind of MCU film that feels deeper and richer, and I really do hope there's a sequel. Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your thoughts!!

    The best part of Merkari is how the CGI team portrayed speedsters using their power.

    Love the movie. Am waiting for part 2. Only criticism was the death of Gilgamesh and the introduction of Starfox. I hope they have a serious Thor in movie 2 if they decide to make it.

    Despite the mixed reviews from the film, the sequel was cancelled/transformed into a Celestial-centered project or the storyline transferred to the development of Thor 5. The film would’ve been better if it was presented in 4:3 aspect ratio like the 2021 rerelease to BVS & ZSJL. I still like the film luckily.

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  Месяц назад +1

      Interesting! I know there a lot of rumors about "Eternals 2" but I don't think anything's been confirmed. I don't think the aspect ratio for me has ever changed my enjoyment of a film but I respect that it would for you! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!

    eternals is the last marvel movie and even show that I truly enjoyed, with the exception of gotg3.
    I always thought it's the most unique out of all the marvel movies, less quirky humor and beautiful cinematic and the combat scene always felt intense. No idea why it got all the hate tbh

    • @AccessBlockbusters

    I read the comics initially and although I knew they would change stuff to make it more modern I felt they lost some of the epicness of the comic story lines.
    So I came in with higher expectations and was met with a messy port.
    I don't totally hate it like some people but I am not motivated to rewatch either and that is rare.

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  4 месяца назад

      Totally fair! Glad you were able to share your perspective, we don't get too many people on the channel who've read the original comics. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!

    This movie right away became the barometer to use for if something was REALLY terrible we saw for me and my friend of "Well it wasn't as bad as the Eternals." I struggled to stay wake during this movie, it was somehow 3 hours long and yet it felt like none of the characters had been fleshed out at all. It sits somewhere on my top 10 worst movies I have ever seen, just not sure where exactly.

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  4 месяца назад +2

      And that's totally fair! The movie is not going to hit us the same ways, and that's why they're pieces of art--but I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us! Thanks for sharing!

  • @Superwise
    @Superwise 4 месяца назад +1

    Great video as always!
    It's an average/mid movie to me with hella plotholes, but never thought it was bad and can still rewatch it and find some enjoyment in it.
    It has a different feel and vibe for the MCU that I rlly like bout it.
    Post credit scene with Blade is dope af.

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  4 месяца назад +1

      Totally fair! I remember we talked about the movie way back when it came out (can you believe it was nearly 3 years ago?). It's a movie that doesn't hit for everyone, and in this case, I think that's totally fine and the MCU should take some risks in that vein. Also yes, the Blade scene was great, but man... where is he??? Hopefully we see Ali before 2026..

      ​@@AccessBlockbusters Fr 2021 MCU was such a fun era and seems like so long ago.
      I'm dying for this Blade movie, man. If it makes no significant progress this year, they just gotta can it 😭

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  4 месяца назад +1

      Yeah.. I’m just ready for Feige to have a fresh start after the Multiverse Saga if he still even wants to do this. Imagining what he could do with a Mutant Saga if he had the kind of control he did w the Infinity Saga is so exciting

    • @Superwise
      @Superwise 4 месяца назад +1

      Yeah I feel like things will be more cohesive and overall stronger in the next Saga, which is said to be the Mutant Saga. Chapek gone, no demand of excessive output. It'd be nice for Marvel to be universally loved again lol. @@AccessBlockbusters

  • @darrellwaller6205
    @darrellwaller6205 4 месяца назад +1

    I didn't care for the movie, BUT it does raise the question: WAS THANOS RIGHT? By eliminating half of life in the Universe it would have staved off the Celestials. Think about it.

    • @AccessBlockbusters
      @AccessBlockbusters  4 месяца назад +1

      Very interesting point! I think the answer to that question depends somewhat on whether the Celestials become villains in the MCU. I think right now, in a very cold, unfeeling, utilitarian sense, birthing new Celestials is justified (TO THEM - not speaking for myself). I doubt Thanos was thinking about that (could be wrong! Could be retconned). So it depends, because also, it seems to me that staving off EVERY Celestial could be disastrous as well. We won't know until we get an Eternals sequel... I think the question of Thanos being "right" is more dependent on Thanos' views of overpopulation rather than his belief that birthing Celestials would be dangerous (again, could very well be retconned). Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
