#Eternals #EternalsReview
Studio: "Look at how diverse and different each character is!"
Audience: "But how do they interact with each other?"
Studio: "Interact? But look, they're diverse!"
Audience: "What is this plot about?"
Studio: "Plot? No, just focus on the different, see they're all different."
Audience: "When does Ghostbusters Afterlife come out again?"
Hopefully... never. Never release it. I would be just fine if that never comes out. It looks terrible. Not as bad as GB'11.... just a different type of bad.
@@James_Bee huh, looks pretty good to me
@@James_Bee You're on something. It looks great. And there is no GB'11, so I can only presume you mean Feigbusters, the failure from 2016.
"But diversity!!!"
What else?
"... there's something else?"
🤣🤣🤣
I've said it before: If Feige wanted to do Eternals, it should have been a streaming series. The ten characters of the ensemble would have been given the time to have their personalities fleshed out more effectively. The Deviants could have received better depth and motives as well. They could have been more than animated globs of green vomit. A feature film just doesn't have enough time to accommodate such a large cast. Of course, if it had been made into a streaming series, it would have to compete with other series using the "dysfunctional super family" concept like The Boys, Umbrella Academy, and Invincible. Eternals is missed potential, that's my two cents.
But they just HAD to keep things clear for hit televised productions like.
Black Falcon and the missed point.
Get the white wizard the fuck outta here, we have vaginas to promote.
Ruining the multiverse in 3 easy steps.
And who can forget.
What If the writing was just always bad?
How could they possibly make room for a concept that has been tested time and again as actually working pretty fucking well in an episodic format if you just take the time and care it needs to function? You're a loose cannon with crazy ideas friend.
I actually like Eternals better than Black Widow, and Marvel Studio taking high risk, but I agree to someone when he said Eternals is beautiful but not a beautiful movie. Also the Celestial were the highlight of the movie, every time they show up, you feel the scale of danger especially when Arishem show up in the post credit. I hope they made a Disney + show about each character first about their adventure after they disbanded and before the team up, so you could feel their humanity and emphatize with them but I will still give the movie 7/10.
Well, a large cast of main characters have been done justice before, like for example, The Lord of the Rings...
The problem mainly comes when the one trying to make this changes on important/main story elements since it creates continuity problems..
This is why I believe that if your going to "adapt" something to a movie, be it a book or comic, you should stick to what is the original creator intended, with only minor changes for things like viability and movie runtime, and try to avoid major changes in character motivations and backstory.
@@Warren_Peace Yeah lord of the rings is like, three HOURS long, and the cast isn't really that big. Like sure there's a generous handful of characters, but there's THREE movies in the series that was based ON A BOOK that already developed the characters and because of that, we already KNOW for a fact there's gonna be two more movies. So because of that we can spend the first movie just developing the IMPORTANT characters and we can keep the other ones in the background until it's their turn. Even still, with a 3 hour run time we can give some needed character to the less important ones so they have a good foundation for the next movies.
This movie is stand alone, not as long, and has TEN characters that are all EQUALLY as important because the entire premise of the movie is there's TEN Eternals that all have the same job on the same planet with the same goal on one unified team. You can't just go "These FIVE Eternals are just, not important so we can ignore them" THEN WHY ARE THERE TEN ETERNALS, JUST MAKE IT FIVE!
See how badly this DOESN'T work? Like imagine if in the first Avengers movie Steve and Tony were the ONLY characters that had more than 5 minutes of screen time.
Doesn't work, does it? Even the VILLAIN in this movie exists for like, a couple minutes tops. The other villain isn't even a villain, he's just DOING HIS JOB which for some reason the Celestials decided the Eternals WOULD decide is bad and they can't program them to be ok with it, so they keep erasing their memories and lying to them....... This movie's a mess.
@@haku8135 Granted, that LotR has give or take 30 minutes more run time, but to claim that the cast is "not that big" is stretching it. You got 4 Hobbits, 2 Men, 1 Elf, 1 Dwarf, and 1 Maia in the Fellowship alone. Even if we discount the next 2 sequels in LotR, the Fellowship of the Ring got a solid build up for its casts, complete with character arcs and motivations, heck this is even true with other secondary characters including all the antagonists. Any of the LotR film can literally stand on itself even without the other 2, that is how good it was.
The Eternals are based on a COMIC BOOK, so they are also fully fleshed out characters with plenty of lore to base it on and since this is the MCU, we also know there are going to be more movies after this. So by your own reasoning, they could literally develop IMPORTANT characters on exactly the same manner. In fact, they did exactly that with the earlier MCU phases.
The Eternals movie is NOT a stand alone. It was never intended to be, since it was made as a part of the MCU Cinematic Universe. So your subsequent reasons of "lacking time" or how "halving the cast" is not an option is, by all intents and purposes, irrelevant.
As for how the BBEG(Big Bad Evil Guy) was portrayed in the Eternals movie, again they should have taken their cue in LotR. Heck, it was literally only a "Burning Eye" on top of a tall tower, and it imposed more personality than the Celestial or even Icarus.
Wait, wouldn't Bucky be the first disabled hero in the MCU? He's an ex solider that lost his arm must use a prosthetic and suffers from PTSD.
A likely response from some idiot or another out there: "But he's a white male, so that doesn't count."
Security, we have a problem over here. This one isnt complying.
I think Captain Marvel is the first disabled hero. She's got MSS
If terminal RBF counts as a disability, Carol Manvers qualifies as Marvel's first handicapped hero, right?
@@1977dajmo rbf?
I know he wasn’t in the movies themselves, but Daredevil did the disabled superhero thing first. From the sounds of it, he did it better.
Don’t forget about Madam Web who is blind and Echo who is deaf, and now the Phoenix. As many characters as marvel create they forget that they created them already. Marvel is a joke
Yeah marvel throwing shade at DD wtf man. Not cool marvel.
Bucky and Rhodey also did it before she did, but that doesn't fit their narrative.
@@Instinct3000x Even that's part of the narrative.
They'll tell you "NO, it was ALWAYS like this! There was ALWAYS politics being shoved down your throat! That's what all entertainment media is FOR."
While forgetting the difference between politics in a show, and shoving real life politics INTO a show. Yes, the storm troopers are basically nazis, we know, but that's NOT the same thing as making a practically DIVINE being whose friends can alter matter on an atomic level and do all kinds of other crazy shit at will DEAF for no reason other than "Look we have a deaf girl!"
It is not the first disabled character as much as a REAL disabled actress. She is deaf in real life and communicates through sign language. Marvel was trying to bank on that "achievement".
"Look at us, we brought a real deaf actress and she played a heroine. Where is our brownie points?"
pissing on Kirby's source material is never a good thing.
then again, i doubt he would be onboard with all of this woke shit.
Jack Kirby literally co-created the X-Men
@@loganrepasky3652 and?
@@KardboardKenny X-Men is was inspired by the Civil Rights movement. The definition of woke shit
@@rohhhann trying to compare the civil rights movement to this shit is laughable. Lee and Kirby played it cool and low key. Besides, If it's the same thing, then why does only 'muricans have this shit pushed on them. Seems to me, the CCP don't play that game.
@@KardboardKenny Magneto and Professor X were inspired by Malcolm X and MLK. Mutant discrimination was a metaphor to better understand and empathise with the civil rights struggle. Yes because the CCP is too busy ethnic cleansing their muslim population to care about human rights
Eternals really should have been a series. Ten new characters in one movie that's a tall order.
Except a whole series of these boring pieces of garbage would have been a serious snoozefest.
@@bunnywithakeyboard7628 Then it's precisely what I need to cure my insomnia.
It might have worked as the next big story arc. Piecemeal the Eternals in as the new heroes get introduced and this movie's climax be the big ending to it all.
It could've been a 3 episode special that introduced the characters, that way when the movie came out it could focus more on the plot rather than trying to introduce 10 characters and an entire plot to follow
Eternals as a series really would have worked better.
Between this and Batwoman, the universe sure loves punishing Thomas for some reason.
I’m sorry but I can’t help but laugh at that 🤣🤣.
That's his name!? Lol
I can never get enough of you editing yourself into the thumbnail, tbh there was so many characters you would have fit right in
He's my favorite character.
So you can get enough? “I can’t never…” is a double negative making it a positive. You basically said ‘I can get enough of you editing yourself …’. Thought you should know.
@@MamaMOB you don't get invited to a lot of parties, do you?
Just saw the movie here, and it was fantastic! How does it rank? Eternals was better than ALL Fox comic movies. All of them. The best Disney/Marvel movie adaptation .... period. Eternals is better than ALL Raimi Spider-Man movies. A must see! Awesome end credits. It will blow your mind!
@@tubesockvii2351 you don't know anything about the comics, do you?
Don't worry, Thomas. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is right around the corner and people are already excited too see it.
Don't get your hopes up, it's a Hollywood movie... Wokeness is right around the corner.
@@TodaywithJulius That's why hoping for that movie too be not woke. At least be like Stargirl good.
@@dontemorgan1517 I feel it. 🤞
@@TodaywithJulius We will see. Wokeness is an over used term as it is
"First hero with a disability in the MCU."
Daredevil: "Allow me to introduce myself."
The Eternals in the comics is a tough cast and story to follow because it is so freaking complex. But it's also pretty cool if you know it. Adapting them to the big screen from scratch was going to be tricky to begin with, but it's made more so when they seem to have fundamentally changed who and what they are from the source material. For example, they're not aliens from another planet. They're native to Earth....they've always been here. Hence their name. And Makkari isn't deaf. She lost her speech, hearing, and powers because of something she did. But then got everything back during resurrection. (By the way, in the comics Hawkeye IS deaf. So they could have done the whole "first disabled superhero" thing a lot sooner.) And there are things that SHOULD tie them into the MCU and what has come before. They should be tied to one very important character in particular....but it seems like they changed that relationship as well.
I get that the MCU and the comics is different and they have to change things to be able to condense it into a 2 hour movie or whatever. But the changes they did make, I don't understand why. Did they really think they could create comic characters better than Jack Kirby?
IT's ok to be different. It's another thing to be 20+ movies in and dropping stink bombs. Then they should have built them first. Maybe they should have sprinkled them in, in the last 4 marvel movies. Well, i ain't no MCU major studio head, but....well, representation, am i right?
Obviously, Chloe Zhao thinks she can. She's an Oscar Award Winner. 10 protagonist characters having thousand years of human historical evolution. Imagine from Mongul's Empire to Napoleon to World War 2 to current days, crammed in just 2 hours & 40 hours. No one thinks it's possible, except her.
Hawkeye is only deaf in ONE ear. Turns out that's what happens when you, you know, get stabbed in the ear with an arrow shaft. Not a fun time for Clint.
Still, they should've just put THIS on Disney+ as an episodic series. Such a large cast and so much history to cover, it makes way more sense than trying to cram it into 2 fucking hours. It'd probably break less than Loki did at the very least.
I actually like Eternals better than Black Widow, and Marvel Studio taking high risk, but I agree to someone when he said Eternals is beautiful but not a beautiful movie. Also the Celestial were the highlight of the movie, every time they show up, you feel the scale of danger especially when Arishem show up in the post credit, Celestial just commanded your attention. I hope they made a Disney + show about each character first about their adventure after they disbanded and before the team up, so you could feel their humanity and emphatize with them but I will still give the movie 7/10.
Arent the eternals from another planet? Like a sister race to thanos or something? Also Makkari in the comics is a guy?
"Gemma Chan is....Asian" - that was the most important part to the producers
She's more robot than anything.
@@berserkasaurusrex4233 😂 ikr
Why TF did they give an Asian actress a British accent 😂🤣🤣🤣
Imagine Awakafina with a British accent or that Shang Chi dude 😂
She’s there to have sexy time with white men.
He has more character in that thumbnail than the actual characters… 😌
Facts
…IN THE MOVIE!
XD
Thanks. I just wish I hadn't needed to crop out nearly half the cast in the shot lol.
This movie was based on the retconned version of the comic... which sucks.
Seriously, whyyyyy?
Retcons have gutted otherwise great characters and comics and alienated fans. Nine times out of 10 the retcon is about some new writer needing to "make it their own". So instead of being creative and working within the canonical framework they eviscerate the history of the story.
Let me get this straight, they gave the speedster eternal a disability just to say that it’s the first disabled superhero ever lmao. Hey Marvel meet Daredevil the first blind/disabled character that was introduced in 1964. Smfh damn I think that they forgot that there is a movie about him as well.
Well, the first hero with a disability to appear in the MCU movies... unless you count Bucky and Rhodey, which apparently they don't for some reason.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 that’s a fact my brother you definitely right
Also notice how they always have to say it´s the first (insert whatever demographic) IN THE MCU/IN A SUPERHERO MOVIE because there were so many disabled, gay, strong female, black, Asian,.... characters in the movies they had to create their own subcategory of movies to be able to brag about their "firsts". :D
So if the eternals are basically robots, why would the celestials make one of these immortal god like beings no be able to hear, and only communicate with sign language?
Because if she could hear, and communicate during battle, it’d make her better able to perform her task of killing Deviants.
Oh, wait, that’s another reason NOT to do that…
The real reason is because they wanted to have a disabled character on the group, because Bucky is so easily forgotten that they didn’t even bother finishing his storyline in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
@@bunnywithakeyboard7628 So if you want a disabled character, how about a Daredevil movie? Well a new Daredevil movie. He is pretty clearly disabled and his stories are pretty easy to fit into a reasonable length film with decent pacing and action scenes.
@@MyMagnificentOctopus Honestly cause Daredevil is straight, white, and catholic, which are all no nos currently. Despite how much I would like to get more of Charlie Cox's Daredevil I just can't trust Disney not to ruin it.
@@MyMagnificentOctopus They wanted to make the first disabled superhero in the MCU, like they claim. They failed because they’re so ignorant of the MCU that they don’t even know about Bucky. That was the point I was trying to make.
hehe I can just see it - "We got an oscar winning director, which will make this an oscar winning superhero movie!" as they forget about The Hulk
Dont forget, Kevin Feige also was quoted saying that the director made the best pitch in Marvel movie history.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall during that pitch meeting. It must have been something to behold, considering how the movie turned out. I guess something got lost in the translation.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 that or Kevin is delusional
I think Kevin feige is losing his touch
In the original origin of the Eternals, Celestials experimented on some cave people and created the Eternals and the Deviants.
DC and Marvel keep messing up Jack Kirby's works. 7 or 8 is maxed you should have on-screen examples of Avengers and Justice League.
Im disappointed that Ma Dong Seok aka Don Lee Basically got thrown to the side.. He's such a charismatic and interesting actor in korea.... Train to Busan, The Bros, Bad Guys (tv show)...
I'm convinced you only thought Shang-Chi was praise-worthy because Batwoman has completely broken you :D :D :D
Shang-chi may not have been great, but it was at least fun. The Eternals, on the other hand...
@@godlikemachine645 I'm glad you enjoyed it... but definitely wasn't fun. so far nothing in Phase 4 has been good (I'm really hoping they get back on track with Moon Knight)
@@Num1n0us I'm actually worried most for Moon Knight... I have the feeling Marvel will butcher him, like Sony did to Venom.
also, why does a celestial tell Sersi the whole truth about their purpose (which involves a genocide…) if that makes the Eternals likely to oppose the project ? would it not be in his interest to say nothing or to lie so that the Eternals fulfill their mission?
I love how he doesn’t even look out of place in the thumbnail. No insult to his sense of style but dear god The Eternals costumes are just soooooo boring and bland. 😂
I’m assuming that was his intent but still… hilarious.
The Eternals are what happened when Jack Kirby read Chariots of the Gods. They were supposed to be these uber powerful beings whose exploits inspired stories about gods and demigods.
Like Hancock.
Kirby meant them to exist outside of the Marvel Universe, because he knew their existence made no sense in a world where there are ACTUAL GODS walking around, and where people can get superpowers from a bug bite. But Marvel wouldn't have it, and inserted them into their shared universe in the pages of the Mighty Thor, of all places.
Marvel has never known what to do with them because they fit like a square peg in a round hole, leading to them never getting involved in any major events, which in turn leads readers to not care about them.
And since Feige's phylosophy is to follow the comics as closely as he can, the exact same thing is happening in the MCU
“As closely as he can”. Lol
Frankly Loki pretty much killed any interest I had in any story in the MCU forever, since we learned anything in the MCU has only one explanation "Kang did it" nothing means anything anymore, Eternals included.
And then he chose to let a complete fool named Sylvie kill him, which has already had horrible consequences just thanks to What If. The Watcher had to break his oath and the multiverse was nearly destroyed already, and the new versions of Kang aren’t even back yet.
It was them completely nerfing and simping Loki for me. We didn’t come for Loki Karen, we came for HIM
As soon a ''multiverse'' shows up, I am kinda done with it. Chrono Trigger, a game I used to play and like as a kid already had time travel paradoxes and stuff in it. As a child it was hard to follow and even now as an adult it is. However, this whole multiverse concept should have been a very small thing that was happening here and there, but it got so much blown out of proportion that things are now starting to not make sense anymore. Things happen just because it can and has no value of why it is happening. Just accept it and move on is pretty much what these Marvel movies are saying to everyone. Especially when a diversity thing is involved, the viewer just has to accept it and move on without questioning it. This movie might be fun for a child to watch because, it's a super hero movie but as an adult or fan of Marvel, all it will do is making you question what the hell this was all about.
Like, if the Earth was so important to these so called ''Eternals'' then why haven't they never shown up to protect Earth to other threats that could have potentially destroyed Earth many, many times before? Answer: Because it wasn't a Celestial that was doing it...so here you go, some reason and now off you go!
@@bunnywithakeyboard7628 dido
@@galacticcactus5530 dido
Maybe a project like The Eternals or The New Gods would work better instead of as of a movie and as a TV show. Perhaps an anime to really push the issue of how far the story could really go.
First disabled superhero character in MCU? What about Charles Xavier?
Your thumbnails always cracks me up 🤣
I'm not sure if it's just me, but this movie seems like it's trying to be like a DC movie. I already saw Justice League (both versions), and that movie was pretty good.
Eternals is overly ambitious and with how dull and bland the story is, it's barely average in my eyes. It sucks when Spider-Man seems to be the only movie phase 4 has to rely on.
How could you like Beta-chi and Marvel’s Katy?
I liked Gemma Chan as Mia in Humans.
so WHY eternals dont interviene when EGO a celestial wnated to delete all life in universe?
Pardon my pun, but making the speedster deaf was tone deaf as a coherent story telling device. Without spoiling the overall plot of the film, given what is at first stated about the Eternals and their mission, juxtaposed to what we as the audience later learn is their TRUE purpose, you have to ask yourself in either case....WHY would you create a DEAF speedster? Given what they're' here to do and accomplish on earth why send a supposed God-like being to a planet with a defect that would impair their ability to assist their allies when they say....run miles in seconds and put a monumental sized gap between them and anyone else?
At what point would you not take a step back and realize the implications towards how this character would function in the story's plot? They need to openly communicate in times of battle but the speedster were to run off on her own putting literal miles between her and the rest of the Eternals how does she end up communicating with them in times of danger or great need? The story even has a point at where this kinda comes up and all the deaf speedster can do is give this painfully funny shriek and all it did was completely kill the seriousness of the moment. The entire film seems to have diversity for the sake of diversity giving ZERO thought to the story and it shows. Not even mainstream critics could give this film a pass. The movie has literally become the check box meme. Just go down the list checking boxes on diversity and inclusion, who gives a shit to the actual story or characterization of the Eternals themselves? Do they fill our quota??? Good! On to the next story beat! This film deserves all the failure in the world.
They just wanted diversity whether it made sense or not. In this case, the diversity was the direct cause of it NOT making sense. Why would the Celestials create an Eternal with a disability like that, which presumably they could easily fix, especially when this would directly impact how effective she would be in the field? When moving at super speed, one would need to be hyper aware of their surroundings, right? It's a lot harder to do that when you can't hear. It just makes no sense.

It's funny when you think about the indian guy, that is ABSOLUTELY USELESS for the entire film.
He does NOTHING, remove him and you will have the same exact story.
Damn, even the little girl has some sort of purpose...
WHY DID THE BLACK GUY HATE SUPERMAN? IN THE MOVIE HE SAYS "I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO CLIP YOUR WINGS" OK? WAS THERE A CUT SCENE WHERE THEY HAD BEEF? OR MAYBE SHOW HIM JEALOUS OF SUPERMAN.
Isn't this marvel?
I remember Thorias had expectations for this movie. Seeing this is sad.
I didn't hate it but I didn't like it either
I have a lot of patience so it wasn't hard for me to pay attention.
it might have been better to make it a two-parter by first showing them living through history then the present.
Sad really because eternals had so much potential to be great but man oh man it was so disappointing
Daredevil is the first disabled superhero! 💯

🤷
If you like bland forgettable mediocrity hidden behind eye candy, then you will like not only the eternals, but most of phase 4.
I had a good laugh reading the comments of Marvel movie fans, trying their hardest to defend and validate this movie. The fact that they and Marvel are calling this movie "The best movie in the world", really sent me.
Very well done. Taken separately, I like every actor in the movie. Guess it's like food, I like pepperoni, I just don't like it in my cereal.
Hollywood: only thing that matters is all the boxes ✅
I don’t know why anyone thought this movie might be great?! It’s pretty clear that the MCU ended .. with endgame.
This is kinda like if after the 3rd installment of ‘Lord if the Rings’ they immediately announced the NEXT installment, despite the fact that it was all done. And the next film is the adventures of some random nobodies you didn’t care about. But even so .. the adventure has ended, time to move on to something different.
And the retconning of the universe that’s been happening is ludicrous. Oh, there’s ANOTHER secret society running the world?!? .. where were they during ALL of the potential world ending events?!?
What a waste of money, time and creativity.
I have never seen this movie and I never will 😆

HOW ABOUT HAVE HIM GO OFF INTO SPACE SO HE CAN BE BROUGHT BACK?!!! FUCK THIS MOVIE!!! I'M GLAD THEY CANCELLED THE SEQUEL!
Why is an immortal godlike being deaf? That seems like something that shouldn't happen when you have that much power.
The woke don’t make things happen because it makes sense in story. They just throw garbage together so they can say it’s in the movie. Thus why they always make so much trash that doesn’t make sense.
But to answer your question, the reason is that they wanted to have a disabled superhero.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: Bucky only has one arm. The thing is, he’s so easily forgotten that they didn’t even bother to finish his storyline in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
@@bunnywithakeyboard7628 Funny how the woke always praise Winter Soldier as one of the best MCU films but none of them seem to remember anything about Bucky or the plot.
I guess alcoholism, PTSD, multiple personalities, a total lack of powers while fighting supervillains, polio induced muscular atrophy, whatever made Thor so stupid after Dark World, and the parasite eating Brie Larson's personality just weren't enough disabilities for "representation".
Right? Really doesn't make sense, at all. That the filmmakers didn't think about this or didn't care because DIVERSITY was the only thing on their minds says a lot about why this movie is the way it is.
It kind of sucks because I liked the actress playing the deaf speedster, but the Celestials creating an Eternal with such an obvious and easily correctable flaw like that just doesn't track.
My wife actually wants to go see this movie....... the things you do for ❤....
Feige didn't ignore his instincts. He explicitly stated several times that this was the direction he wanted to take the MCU. Woke directors directing woke content.
This is what he wanted, this is what he got.
Feige: Makkari is the first disabled superhero in the MCU!
Bucky: am I painted or what?!
Daredevil: tell me about it.
Daredevil:
Over all I agree with your assessment. There was some potential in this movie and it should have been a two-parter: 1) to flesh out who the Eternals are and give us a sense of what the stakes are. 2) to actually connect it to the MCU because the Emergence should have major ramifications on the world at large. Also I need to mention that it was really nice visually. One of my gripes in the inconsistency of their powers like I can't tell how physically strong they are because it keeps changing from scene to scene.
The director of the "Eternals" should have looked at the examples of the "Magnificent Seven" movies by John Sturges and Antoine Fuqua. It would have helped immensely.
Dc is gonna milk anime More.have you seen trailer to Catwoman:hunted yet? It even has batwoman but she seems less annoying
Hey, atleast we have Dune.
And Last Night In Soho.
Any chance you are going to suffer through High Guardian Spice for our amusement when you are done with season 3 of Batwoman? Just like Batwoman, High Guardian Spice also does not care about anything but its diversity. But from what I heard, it is only 95% trainwreck.
Here is a clip to get you excited: ruclips.net/video/odnXmyFb2gg/видео.html
The HGSpice must GFTO!
"Danger is like a flock of birds" is actual dialogue in the show. Are we really so cruel as to subject Thorias to that?
Who am I kidding, of course we are.
This is so bad Thorius might go stand in front of Alec Baldwin.
Let's hope Ghostbusters is good.
They should have made it a series, so that they could develop the characters better.
Or just not wasted the time at all
Given WandaVision, Falcon and Winter, and Loki... are you sure about that?
I say that not having seen the movie.
Actually, they can also introduce them as a group rather than a single character as a whole, introduce eternal as team eternal and not introduce them 1 by 1 like power rangers, only introduce each of them roughly in the beginning and go in depth as a group
I kinda like the movie was pretty fun my favourite character was ikures
The last time I heard a vcast talked about this way was the dwarfs in The Hobbit.
Where half the cast is known to be unimportant side characters, and it’s easy to figure out which is which
You have hit most, but the cinematography is good?! Everybody is back-lit most of the time showing a grey face, what the hell. Look at Dune (2021), even the ugly baron looks great in it.
Unlike you Thorias I _have_ *become* not okay with females in lead roles, particularly combat-heavy ones. I don't plan to support any such movies for the next ten years unless I see another exceptional character like Ripley or Lucy, and after those ten years if Hollyweird hasn't fixed their shit it will continue
Gemma Chan is better acted than this film could be. Hello Crazy rich Asians.
Did they hire the same writer in Star Wars?
Lovey dovey scenes in the middle of a battle don't go well if it's not executed well.
Hmm..so FYI, Richard Madden's character Ikaris is the actual leader in Eternals. Sersi was one of many side heroes.
If Ikaris is the leader in the comics, then what they do with him in the movie makes even less sense.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 ahh..well..you know, wah-men and all that jazz 😏
The movie was not perfect, but I still enjoy it.
I miss Tony/RDJ
This movie could've been split into 2 movies, a trilogy, or a series on Disney+
So Daredevil don't exist in this universe he is a blind superhero
Release the Zhao cut! lol
No, please don't 🤣
Say you're a super-powerful cosmic being that can create superpowered beings just like that to serve as the instruments of your will. Why would you make one with superspeed and not give her hearing, thus severely impeding her awareness? Was that intentional, or did she start with hearing but got damaged?
More than likely, the screenwriters just didn't consider this because DIVERSITY was the only thing on their minds.
Here's something else they didn't think of: Salma Hayek's character has healing powers... so why can't she fix the deaf girl's hearing? Anyone? Anyone?
Sorry but this sounds boring AF
Spoiler review next please
“she’s Asian and... looks at things”. 😄😄😄
I loved his video! Every second of it! Also I’m seeing this movie later afternoon.
Gemma, People keep telling what a great actor she is, but the only thing i know her from is humans, where she is a wooden robot with over acting emotions when she displays them.
She seems to be a sign not to watch a Marvel film. She was in both Eternals and Captain Marvel.
The only things I've seen Chan in are this movie and Captain Marvel, and I couldn't even remember who she was playing in that one. Apparently, this disappearing-into-the-movie problem is a recurring thing with her.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 She had a small part in one David Tenant Dr Who episode, where she was pretty forgettable. I know she was in Humans, but I never saw it.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 And there are a number of gifs of her making out with Katie McGrath, so I guess she did that on some British TV series. (Supergirl fans must be outraged she got to Lena Luthor first.)
It was a box of crayons
honestly DC has handled their "celestials" so much better. with the likes of Lucifer being it's own thing with it's only real connection to DC was that cringe arrowverse crossovrer.
DC hasn't..... really, HANDLED celestials.
Lucifer was done well, but that's just ONE slice of the pie.
They fucked up Darkseid already, so that's a big piece that's gone to shit.
Other than that, they really haven't touched on the celestial aspects of the DC multiverse.
I mean we haven't even gotten any Lanterns yet, and the very little we've seen of them leads me to believe they fucked THEM up as well. Cause..... where the fuck are they?
My favourite part of The Eternals was when Egon told the others to not cross the streams.
I agree with this review but I also enjoyed the movie. Mainly because I can see it had so much potential. The pieces were there but unfortunately didn't get fleshed out. Druig being frustrated and left. Instead of exploring more they cut on to the next scene. Phastos losing faith in humanity and utterly destroyed by the fact he helped create the nukes and instead of exploring more tgey cut on to the next scene. There are also alot of deeper thoughts in the movie but again, weren't explored thoroughly because the movie bit more than it could chew.
Anyways. Good review!
OH, so you're saying the Villain is a heterosexual, blond white man? Oh, The Deviants. (Heterosexual for sure!)
You were pretty warm with the first guess actually.
ummmmm....1st disabled hero??...Professor X....DareDevil???...ummm yea. Hey Thoris we know who you are man, so do not give any power to the ists or phobe idiots. Stay strong man, we gotcha! :)
My guy he said first disabled hero in the MCU not all time. None of the characters you just named are in the MCU.
@@monaco0042 Daredevil is. i take you've never seen the show.
@@monaco0042 yea I know but just wanted to point out that in the super hero universe , you kinda get tired of 1st evers and thousands of years old, demi gods does it make any sense truly? However I do see your point. :)
Actually, I got so sick of them claiming that this movie has the first disabled superhero in the MCU that I fixed it with my time machine.
Now there’s a character Bucky, called the Winter Soldier, that has only one arm.
As soon as everyone realizes time has changed, they should quit saying that.
@@bunnywithakeyboard7628 OMG!!! I totally forgot about Bucky.
Gemma Chan is the main character? Looks like the usual bait-and-switch is happening with making white guy in blue central on all the advertisements.
Like I said, that was partially by design. They were setting up a twist in the story that, unfortunately, wasn't all that surprising anyway.
My question is this. The Eternals are suppose to be superior god like beings, yet one of them has a hearing disability? man, i call bull$4IT
Maybe the Celestials were on a bathroom break when they made her? Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't make sense. Too bad because I actually liked the actress who played the character.
Why wasn't this a series? Bizarre creative choice to make it a movie.
They should have just made a tv series about them, each episode would be about a different character and once that was done and we knew each of them individually maybe then they could do a movie, where they all tackle something together, basically how the beginning of the MCU was: Ironman, Hulk, Ironman 2, Thor, Captain America and then Avengers, except instead of being a movie for each character, just do a episode of a tv series...
That's how I've been saying that Disney's handling of Star Wars probably ought to have been done from the start. Instead of diving right into a trilogy movie project set decades later and skipping over all the context of what happened in between, start with some smaller projects to establish some lore and worldbuilding first before leading into a bigger project later. A number of different shows and one-off movies could have gradually introduced us to some new characters and established a timeline of events following after the original movies. Each project could have had its own distinct perspective focus (the early days of the New Republic, the power grabs of Imperial remnants like the "First Order", the rise and fall of Luke's new Jedi order, and other perspectives like some powerhouse in the criminal underworld or whoever else). And then eventually when a bigger project has many of the characters that were introduced in those small projects all crossing paths we would have cared more about those characters.
I've seen people criticize the idea, saying that we shouldn't want everything trying to emulate Marvel's formula. And that's fine. But I still think that for Star Wars it would have worked better than what they actually gave us. If we still would have ended up getting something like The Mandalorian amid those smaller projects, it would have fit in quite nicely as part of that kind of worldbuilding effort. Granted, the approach could produce some duds as well. Maybe we still would have gotten something like the idiotic trash heap that is the Resistance cartoon series, for example.
...
Anyway, yeah, I haven't seen the Eternals but it sounds like Disney overlooked what made the MCU's massive ensemble cast work in the first place and jumped straight to the team-up movie with this entirely new (as far as 99% of the MCU's audience knows) cast of characters instead of taking their time to build them all up properly.
Ohh I’ve been waiting for this review ever since the first trailer dropped earlier this year!
Edit: after seeing all the trailers and promos, Makkari (that’s the deaf speedster) seemed to be my favourite character too! Though I am a little biased since super speed is my favourite power.
Aight, but hear me out: due to the curvature of the Earth and the Law of Angular Momentum a super-speedster should go flying uncontrollably into the air provided they didn't reach planetary escape velocity first. Also they'd really fuck up everything they stepped on - the Flash's feet hit the ground at basically the speed of light thousands of times a second, the forces involved would turn pavement into a cloud of rapidly expanding Alpha Particles.
@@the_inquisitive_inquisitor that’s actually seems true! Super speed is incomprehensibly OP which is why every fictional franchise invents it’s own rules for super speed because as you say, realistically, it seems Impossible. Flash literally said in the justice league flashpoint animated movie that the speed force allows him to break the laws of physics although I’m not sure if that is the case for the movies. Though I’m not sure if that is the case for Makkari even though her top speed is the speed of sound.
@@shaheersajid4504 Lol super-speed without some kind of super-strength/durability equals a human hand grenade. All your joints would just explode from the strain
@@the_inquisitive_inquisitor all speedsters have super human physiology and super endurance.
The actress did a lot with very little. That the Celestials would create a deaf Eternal in the first place really didn't make sense, but the actress was charming enough that I went along with it. I wish they'd done more with her.
Thorias ‘Thank god, a review without Batwoman..’
After Eternals ‘AAAAARRRRGGGHHgghhhhhhh!!!!’
Heard negative things about this movie going into it, so i dident have any high hopes, but i think its a totaly OK movie.
I cant reccomend you spend money and time going to see this in the cinema, but catch it on streaming.
6.5/10
You should review KUNG FU HUSTLE
The Eternals? More like The Generics.
Boringggggg!!!!!!
Never..NEVER put a WOMAN in THE directors Chair
downvoted for annoying background music
Role description: being asian and barely dating Jon Snow. Others: Exist.
Really good critique..You explained it better than anyone else...btw..The voice @the end of the stinger is the Daywalker,Mahersala Ali...They owe you that much..You're welcome.
*_Senõr Fiege "IT'S THE WOKETASTIC EVENT OF THE YEAR!!"_* 🎉🍾🎊
So basically, they made another Aang Lee 'Hulk ' type movie?
MCU fanboys really believe this is a thinking man's superhero movie. It's diet Zack Snyder at best.
The Eternals: exists. That's exactly the problem. Its excessive and superficial at the same time...which I wouldn't call an achievement.
Just saying: subscribed! :)
