Blind wave not sure if you’ll see this but could you react to Smallville it’s a very great shout I think you’ll really like it
I really want to see the MCU version of Whistler played by old man Wesley snipes
Thanos really saved his lil bro only.
Kang & He who remains have satanic schematics....
47:45 Tiamut was probably going to feed on all of us when he hatched completely; like the powerpoint Cersei reviewed on how a Celestial is born just blew up the planet, but mechanically I think they’re a fresh newborn in need of external nourishment
I took Sersei calling the statue “Charlie” as an indication that the two had known each other when Darwin was alive
thank you. At first, I was like um ok. But it purposely shows his longevity to show she new him when he was alive
I thought that was fairly obvious
@@DC3328 lol i thought so too but the boys seemed thrown off by that dialogue in their reaction
@@alecfigueroa5769 Yeah they actually seem thrown off quite a bit. I like watching them a lot but damn I be screaming at the screen sometimes when they discuss stuff lmao
lol, that never occurred to me:)
I LOVE the Makkari scenes, every scene she's in makes me excited, not just because of the speedster stuff but she just exudes this energy that I enjoy watching.
Same! You know she's just good vibes and kindness by the way she acts
She was more bad ass power wise then Berry ever was
Makkari and Druig have amazing chemistry in this movie. Favorite couple in the movie.
@@cedric13 she is also not human and built by a celestial.
Not that I'm complaining, but this question just popped into my head. If the eternals are made artificially, does that mean Makkari was designed to be unable to speak?
I just realised "Phastos" = Hephaestus. It makes so much sense. Thena, Ikaris, and Gilgamesh are easier to place in terms of the names.
also makkari - mercury
Yep, they almost all are connected to some sort of myth or ancient religion. Phastos = Hephaestus. Ikarus, the Greek myth of the boy who flew too close to the sun. Thena = Athena. Gilgamesh...is Gilgamesh, a king of the ancient Sumerians who was fabled to have immense strength. Sprite is a reference to fairies. Druig is...I think...supposed to coincide with the Welsh word for "dragon" (Ddraig). Sersi is a references to the Greek goddess named Circe who also can transform things. Ajak is Ajax the Greek mythic hero. Kingo is...well, nobody knows from what I can tell, but the best guess I've read is that his name is a reference to a very minor Babylonian god named Kingu.
@@ms_scribbles Well firstly, Circe was an enchantress, not a goddess. Second, Ajak also inspired the legend of Quetzalcoatl from Mesoamerican myth.
Also, fun fact: Sprite not only also helped to inspire the myth of Puck, but (in the comics at least) they also inspired the creation of Peter Pan when they performed their illusions in front of J. M. Barrie.
I thought Druig was supposed to be from the being “Druid”
@@cassecorrea That was the connection I made. It would link the Irish accent too. Actually, I wonder is there even an in-universe reason for Eternals to look/sound like they belong to different ethnic groups from Earth.
I like seeing that even the weaker Eternals still have their own skills outside of their main powers. For Example, Druig clearly being able to hold his own in a fight, and clearly being stronger than any just regular human.
I like druig a lot. He's pretty 😎
And how Ajak fell off a tall cliff, but manages to land safely.
@@abbeyBominable123 Exactly, she’s not a fighter like ikaris or Thena, but if she needs to she can get something done.
@@kingcasso8611 yea I kind of didn’t like what they did with ajak she’s actually a warrior in comics.
@@Cream-2128 exactly, she is on a God level in comics, i mean He, coz he is originally male in the coMics.
I think Ego is the reason why Arishem created the Deviants and then the Eternals. Ego feels like an incomplete Celestial who's growth was stunted because intelligent life on his world was wiped out before he could fully grow.
That's actually a great theory.
That is a really good theory.
Didn’t he make the planet though
Except ego started as a brain floating in space, not as a sentient planet.
Great theory, not heard it before either which is rare with marvel
Fun Facts:
- The director confirmed there is indeed a full Karun footage
- Chloe Zhao said that if the movie is liked, she's not opposed to bring certain "world-devouring" enemy in the sequel.
I really hope they move forward with these guys story regardless of how the movies received I think marvels made enough highly profitable movies they can afford a few that don’t blow up at the box office. I personally loved this movie and just about every performance in it.
@@ypurdad I love it too! Is sad so many people didn't like it :/
Dunno if it's a fun fact, but I think Eric would really enjoy knowing Zhao's vision of Ikaris was inspired/influenced by Snyder's Supes.
@@ypurdad Feige doesn't care about critical reception when it comes to a sequel. If he has a plan he intends to execute it. If he just said "ok no more movies" as soon as one got badly reviewed we would've been done with the MCU with The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor The Dark World, Age of Ultron, etc. Reception on those movies are infamously not pleasant. This is slightly different since its the lowest reviewed out of ALL the movies (which is bs, AntMan 2 is FARRRRRRRR worse), but I have no doubt Feige is sticking to his plan.
@@ypurdad well this movie earned more than black widow lol $400 mill and it was like top 12 for box office of 2021 i think.
This movie should have been a series. It had everything going for it to be a series. Large cast. A family dynamic. Lingering questions on what they've done in the time they were separated. An exploration on how they've affected the history of the Earth. Etc etc. Tl;dr Should have been a series.
I HAD THIS SAME THOUGHT!!! It would've been way more fun to see their misadventures through the ages (with the big plot sprinkled throughout), then the lighthearted moments could shine more and not get in the way of the more serious moments. Would also give us more reason to care about ANY of the characters (Icarus and Ajak especially, so the audience could feel genuinely betrayed by his actions later)
I mean what movie in the MCU wouldnt be better as a tv show if the budget was enough?
@@immanuelivanovich8638 a small handful. I think I can only make a case for Spider-Man though because he lends himself to any form of linear episodic format. Maybe antman too but I don't see it working out for anyone else
@@enigmatic6370 Comparison: Fox Daredevil and Netflix Daredevil.
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps I get what you mean but it's still a 50/50 on if it turned out good according to the crew behind and daredevil also lends himself to episodic formats. I depends hero to hero like I can't in my head see Iron man or captain america in a live action TV show because of the scale of their individual stories and how they operate.
Same way I thought the inhumans series was so bland I'd rather it be a movie to cut out x y and z. It's all case to case I suppose
Also the 2003 movie was done by 20th century fox not Sony
"Ikaris might be a bad guy" Calvin always instinctive! 😊😅
I will say seeing the celestial’s on the big screen was definitely worth the watch. As a comic book fan seeing these larger than life ultra powerful beings was a marvel(no pun intended). And to think this is probably what Galactus will be like.
so true, the final scene was sick af in the cinema
Yeah it was truly terrifying. They really up-ed the ante on Antagonist power lol.
Yep, that scene at the end was genuenly scary. To see the scale like that.
Pun intended
Its definetely interesting as a concept, but what bugged me, it wasnt at all in the movie. Coming from critics I thought there is too little action in Eternals and they dont like it, because it focuses more on the character, than effects, but it was quite the opposite to my suprise. Everything was beautiful as hell... But I couldnt care less. Main character was bland, instead of showing emotions and making connections to others, Sersi was just focused on throwing the same exposition on people over and over and moving the plot forward. I didnt feel characters at all, until they clash in third act, but it was hard to only start caring about them 20 minutes before the movie ended.
This is the second time Don Lee has played a charming lovable man with powerful strength who's willing to sacrifice himself for his loved ones. First was Train To Busan (the dad) and here (Gilgamesh)! This guy is so awesome.
Here's hoping he's resurrected as The Forgotten One in a sequel.
I like to think Marvel casted him BECAUSE of Train to Busan.
Oh he's played that role many, many times. As a hard nosed cop bringing down a crime syndicate in The Outlaws, as a husband punching half of Seoul in the mouth on his way to rescuing his kidnapped wife in Unstoppable, as a deity in Along With The Gods 2 . . . the list goes on.
The Don Lee cinematic universe
I love Don Lee and just before watching the movie I said out loud "he better not die this time". Should've known better, but his characters are still the best :'))
Not sure what it is but I absolutely love the way they've done the celestials. The sheer size of them had me in awe in every scene they were in, especially the scene where Arishem is staring at Earth, looked so eerie
I was literally frightened & had goosebumps for a long while because of that scene.
cosmic horror always gets me
One of the things I really really loved was the fight scenes with the speedster. It didnt have the obligatory slow motion running scene that all speedster movies and tv shows have, not that theres anything wrong with those scenes its just we've seen them over and over. It was a nice change of pace to see someone fight using their speed in *real time* it made the fighting so much more intense!
Seeing the Celestials on big screen was worth it , it really gave me chills whenever they appeared on screen
Same dude. It’s was glorious.
Fun fact, in the comics Arishem is titled "the Judge" which circles back to when he said he would return for judgement (I'm not sure if the word title is correct in this context because in the comics all the celestials have something attached to their name : Tiamut the Communicator, Eson the Searcher etc...)
My only regret is not seeing this in IMAX or IMAX 3D.
The best and only formats to see this movie in.
This is really big "I saw thing from comics, I clapped!" vibes lol
I never saw MCU.. Up until Loki released on Disney+ and it's trailer looked stunning. So I searched and realised that it is a whole lotta movies before that.. Watched all the previous ones in a month. But now since i ama huge fan of Marvel,I want to experience it on big screen because many people said that Shang Chi on big screen was next level ( which I again watched on mobile) .. I haven't watched no way home so no spoilers please.. I asked my 4-5 friends and my brothers but no one follows Marvel..
Now the issue is that I really wanna watch Dr. Strange 2 in cinemas but I got no friends...
I don't wanna go alone but also really really wanna watch it on big screen.
What to do guys😭😭
P.S.- Sorry for long comment.
A Blade, Black Knight and Moon Knight team up would be awesome.
I think i've heard that the Ghost Rider would be joining eventually too. Maybe we can have the Midnight Suns
@@Elliecesa yeah I forgot about ghost rider , but which one Johnny blaze or Robbie Reyes ?
I really want to see Oscar Isaac and Mahershala Ali acting together. Two incredible actors.
@Fzzd
I also want to see Elsa Bloodstone in that group.
@@Bulls3ye86 she’s one, that I haven’t seen on the big screen. Like, I hope she’s part of The supernatural Dark Avengers initiative.
The reason why the lighting and vfx shots looks amazing in the fight scenes and places is because they really went to those locations on Earth and not use heavy green screen.
This is by far the best looking movie of the MCU that doesnt look like they are in front of a green screen
43:50 very true, most characters don't become mainstream until they're in the mcu. Guardians of the Galaxy, Thanos, Thor, even Iron Man was classed a B list hero before being introduced.
I really liked this movie, I can understand that it is not every one's cup of tea but I think it is underrated at this point. It gets more hate than it should.
Please have standards. It's pretty bad lol
Hard agree. Like it's not the greatest MCU movie or anything but it is not even close to being the worst MCU movie like some people want you to believe.
I totally agree. It's hated way too much, I think it's in the better half of marvel movies
I don’t think you understand what the word “underrated” actually means…
@@za-ir5ni better then most dc movies😂😂
It wasn’t included in your reaction but I really loved the scene where Druig cries when talking about how he’s witnessed so many wars and so much death and he has the power to stop it and prevent it but wasn’t allowed to. Really loved that moment.
It's always emotional when people who aren't emotionally expressive get emotional
No one:
Calvin: "The Deviant can heal?🤔..Icarus is a villain."
As soon as I saw him fighting that thing, the way he was interacting with the others, and his general body language, especially when it came to Ajak's death, I was also fairly certain that Ikaris was an antagonist. One of the first things I guessed right in the movie.
Also just watched this for the first time and have no idea why it got mediocre reviews. Really enjoyed it a lot and Marvel needed something that felt different from the standard superhero formula.
Exactly!! But I feel with time, people will start warming up to this movie. It’s like a literal breath of fresh air
Because the Deviants didn't amount to anything of consequence, and didn't give enough of an explanation why the Eternals did not interfere with Thanos.
@@gabrielcarrasco9078they literally explained why they didn’t interfere with Thanos: they were told they couldn’t.
I went with 0 expectations in after I saw the critics, feared it could go overboard with so many new characters and fall flat.
But I liked the characters, the visuals and the pacing.
It wasn’t boring at all. The fight scenes were very smoothly filmed without stupid cuts every second. The Deviants looked surprisingly great, the humor was there and well dosed in scenes, the music was pretty good. I also liked the idea with the flashbacks being on different major cities throughout time.
Every character got some time to shine - so the awsome cast was not wasted (except maybe Kit Harrington but he will return anyway so..)
I get why many marvel fans won’t like this one - as it is not as quirky and adventurous as Shang Chi or a fanservice galore like Spider-Man, but it’s nice to see that they went for a different feel this time.
Good review, the movie wasn’t my favorite but not as bad as the critics made it out to be.
Yeah I'm in the same boat, honestly preferred the newer take on the MCU format, as much as I enjoyed No Way Home, felt too fan servicey and relied on nostalgia a little too much.
Critics hates it but not the fans(atlest most of the fans)
yep i dont know why its considered the "worst" film when its far better than thor: DW
Nearly everything you said is actually wrong. It's incredible. The fight scenes sucks, very CGI heavy. The Deviants looks absolutely generic. The humor is terrible. Music was nothing special. Every character was underdeveloped. Marvel fanboys really need higher standards and not just accept schlock.
Eternals is actually a breath of fresh air. It’s different from the usual Marvel movies and I like it
100% me too
I appreciate Chloe Zhao for this
Comicbooks are suppose to have different themes. Horror, action, cosmic etc.
@@hamhockbeans which the MCU are only just figuring out, barely. They say Dr Strange 2 will be a horror movie but… I have little hopes it’ll be any different from every other comedy-fested generic action movie with cool visuals
@@barakaafrobama6519 they never confirmed Dr.Strange 2 to be a horror movie. It’s just going to have a horror *feel to it sort of speak. There’s a difference. Also, the x-men (Jean Grey, Prof. X and Magneto) and Mr. Fantastic are heavily rumored to be in it as well with the same actors from the Fox x-men films.
Gilgamesh (Don Lee), clearly drawn from Mesopotamian mythology and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of humanity’s oldest recorded stories, telling of the mighty hero-king and his travels, including his hunt for immortality. In the movie, Gilgamesh proved to have the raw strength worthy of going down in legend but also proved to have a far more gentle and caring side to him as he cared for his partner Thena over the centuries as her mind crumbled under the weight of repressed memories.
A not so popular opinion, Eternals is a great movie. Just finished watching it on Disney+. And to simply put-Not every marvel movie has to be tons of action. Some just tell a story.
The unique story telling of this movie gives it a tonal and aesthetic difference from other marvel films making it fresh. Its visually arresting scenes alone makes the movie worth watching-from the godly scope of the Celestials to the grounded real-world locations. This is honestly one of my favorites MCU movies. Top 10 easily.
The scene between the Eternals at the Aztec empire almost made me cry. It was fascinating how "human" and how much of a complicated family they really were for being "superheroes”. It touched on so many themes: destiny, duty, authority, self-determination, hope. Every character represented a slightly nuanced view of humanity and I was invested into each one. All of them had different motivations and it really added depth. It had amazing dialogues and complex characters like Thena and I'm impressed with how well they made me care for them.
Even though the movie is lore-centric, it did not fall behind on the actions either, they gave us the best speedster fight from my girl Makkari and beautifully choreographed combat from Thena.
Chloe Zhao made the magnitude of the story work. A very beautifully presented movie and one that I am happy with. I was always invested and even the end credits were interesting to watch. Eternals is better than critics are saying and this is why sites like Rotten Tomatoes shouldn’t be taken as gospel.
I will not deny that the movie has its flaws, there are missteps but I like the way it set upped repercussions for future MCU movies.
Could the movie have been better if it was a series or trilogy? Probably yes, only for more character development. We would have loved to see Phastos losing trust in humanity then finding love, see Druig slowly descending into tyranny, sprite finding the beauty of humanity and being envious of it and so many more.
BTW, I completely love Druig, he’s the character I attach most with, he is my bias among the Eternals haha. Who’s yours?
The point at the start, “not every marvel movie has to be tonnes of action”. This movie has more action scenes than most marvel movies. I don’t know why I don’t like this movie, was rlly Excited for it but came out the cinema like “meh” which I don’t usually get from marvel.
My problem was that the pacing of the movie was weird. And the writing was not as good as some of the other MCU movies. It’s was just lacking. And I got bored with some of the characters. Namely Ikarus and Sersi. Angelina Jolie did a fantastic job. She took a terrible script and managed to still give an emotional performance for her character. Even the moments when she didn’t have lines, her facial expressions alone were enough.
I agree and I wish that people would be more open minded to their favorite franchises taking risks
@@BG_Wingzz nah
...unfortunately, your analysis of the movie's context depth doesn't translate through the plot once the movie start playing. Its still has very obvious signs of execution being off throughout the pacing. Mostly viewers would get bothered by Thena's odd mental jerking reasons that don't go well in particular scene plots like she pose as one of the powerful Eternal characters so what's up with that shit. If she represents the human mind conflicts its poorly done.
Loved this movie. I think the greatest strength is that it's so completely different from the usual MCU formula. I can see how some may not enjoy that as much, which is fine, but I dig it.
Agreed, like in comic books, not every film should look and feel the same. They (Feige) should allow for different artistic approaches in the MCU. As much as I love the proven MCU formula, it starts to get old after more than 10 years and half a dozen new entries every year (movies and tv series). Comic books are still alive, because they allow writer & artists teams to find their own voice and style. I hope this also happens in the MCU in the next decade.
I absolutely loved it too! I was actually worried cause so many people I know were excited for it but then didn't like it. I definitely have some things I didn't like and feel could have been done better but overall I thought it was excellent.
@@ChimBrouer exactly
I wholeheartedly agree! I look forward to "different" formulas for Phase 4 projects.
Even if the formula is the same. All the movies literally have different storylines and are not the same. Gtfo with this formula criticism.
No movie I have ever seen in my life has ever given me such an overwhelming and believable sense of scale both in physical terms and also in terms of overarching plot. You realize that EVERYTHING that has happened in the MCU, even the events of Endgame up until this point has been practically a footnote in the thousand plus page tome of the history of the universe.
Yep! I watched it at home on my large flat screen and the first appearance of Arishem made me feel SO FUCKING insignificant. It was incredible.
That's why I think upon the arrival of other films in the franchise, the rewatching quality of this film will increase immensely. That is MCU's forte after all, when you rewatch a film after later instalments, you feel like a sense of structure and continuity so it becomes satisfying and you feel like the effort and time you put into this universe pays off. With this big of a scope, Eternals have the effect on the cinematic universe that no other film in the franchise has. Feige knows what he is doing.
@@dresdenwarlock7978 this feeling times 1000 when i was fortunate to see it in IMAX. I was like oh shit ok then we're nothing to it
Karun needs to come back in the blade movie, he's gonna freak out with the vampire stuff.
This movie doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. It's not perfect, there's definitely some pacing issues but it's still one of the best MCU movies and as someone who was losing excitment about the MCU, this one got me hyped again.
what hate? I try not to read or watch anything until I watch the movie Only thing I didn't like that much is the excess of humor.... Which marvel does a lot.
It’s alright. Could’ve went deeper. I mean, were humans really so good? Not from the flashbacks. Remember Druig? So to kill the Celestial was a waste according to the movie. We needed to see more interaction with modern humans to see the change of heart. I mean Ajak was killing planets for over a million years. So what about earth was different? They should’ve explored that instead of having time spent on Deviants. The deviants were pointless. Even the main one had no arc!
@@Keliiyamashita we had 10+ years of modern day humans in the exact same universe as this movie.
I’m fine with it, it’s not that bad, it ain’t no Black Widow but it is NOT one of the best MCU movies.
@@Rfono97 I think we needed to see the Eternals appreciating that more. They sure seemed to see a lot of human conflict and atrocities, so what made us more special than the intelligent species on the loads of other planets Ajak & co. were okay with destroying?
Seeing Mikari is so good, she’s easily the best looking speedster we’ve seen in media, the moving normal speed while everyone is standing still is overplayed, it’s nice seeing someone moving fast and hard hits.
This is the best flash vs superman fight we’re probably going to see in live action lol
With the way DCEU is headed your right... smh
She is indeed the best looking speedster. Her powers look good too.
@@MarkHogan994 spittin
"This is the best flash vs superman fight we’re probably going to see in live action lol"
I thought the exact same thing, better than Justice League's fight
Makkari is supposed to be a male smh.
Mr. Mahershala Ali's voice is smooth as it gets. Looking forwards to seeing him as Blade
I hope he says Mother Fuckas always tryna skate uphill😎
Given the introduction of Eros as Thanos brother is clear they are going with his comic origin: that Thanos is an experimental mix of Eternal and Deviant and that's why he looks like that and he is so powerful yet he has a twisted sense of morality and universal balance, kind of like a corruption of the Eternals and Celestials philosophy and mission. I would love seeing Thanos's origin and the destruction of Titan in a sequel, maybe make Galactus the being that killed that planet as a rogue Celestial.
I took it as Eros was assigned to Titan, like our Eternals were assigned to Earth, and became close friends with Thanos.
Saw this in IMAX and it was totally worth it. Such great effects, art design, and spectacle.
This movie was a lot of fun. I loved Makkari's fight with Ikaris. The music was awesome there. Though I do wish I had more time with some characters. 150 minutes long and yet I felt it was rushed.
Makkari’s fight with Ikaris was stunning in theatre.
Is that the fast girl? That was my favorite fight scene, speedsters attacking something will never cease to be an amazing visual, they can do so many things with their speed.
@@Randomyoutubecommenter Yeah. Speedsters fights are great, though I was scared for a bit there. Invincible was on my mind
@@Randomyoutubecommenter Ieah but what did she do? I keep watching the scene and, correct me if Im wrong, shes not hitting Ikaris or the Deviants. Its like shes running and stopping. And the force of the air in front of her is hitting the enemy.
@@Antwannnn yea I believe she’s making a sonic boom so basically the energy from the sonic boom is pounding into her enemies as she stops right in front of them
I didn’t really get the complaints about this movie. I love the character interactions, Ikaris is a great villain. And the role of the Deviants is interesting and thought provoking. Big fan of this movie
A few things. The main one being everyone at the time was obsessively sniffing another superhero's red and blue jock waiting for a trailer to drop, another being the same sex couple shown on screen, the change-up from the typical MCU film format, the emotional beats were a bit sparse and swapped for world building. I loved this film through and through but the haters were ready for a Marvel movie to "flop" so any bad or non-positive press or opinions the film got were immensely louder than the fans that enjoyed it.
Probably because the plot doesn’t make any sense and the characters aren’t very likeable or memorable
@@captainpep3 what about it didn’t make sense
@@captainpep3 The plot makes perfect sense, it's just hard to follow and told in a weird way with all the jumping back and forth between time periods
I thought the pacing was really strange at some parts, but given the sheer amount of content and exposition this movie needed to get through I think they did the best they could. The Deviants were a letdown tho, they scratched the surface of some interesting themes like Kro growing into sentience and the similarities between Eternals and Deviants, but all this gets kicked to the wayside in the final act and Kro just kinda ends up like a generic baddy.
Absolutely love this movie. The characters feel so real and human, there’s so much beautiful thematic elements, and the score and visuals are top class. Definitely my favorite MCU product ever alongside NWH
My fav are still the winter soldier & gotg
Whenever I’ve asked the people who say they didn’t like the movie One of their biggest criticism is that it feels too “woke”. Which to me is pretty crazy considering how little time they devote to any real agenda pushing. I think just the mere existence of diversity is an affront to some people
Most people are gullible, if there are those who say the movie is woke because of the diversity of the cast, they are bound to believe it without watching the movie. They can't even decide for themselves.
I don’t really like the film, and it being “woke” is not the reason.
It’s just that the plot is too big and thus boring and not feeling personal. Also too many characters to feel attached to anyone.
The only thing that did make me raise an eyebrow is the idea of a superpowred being created by a god having a disability. Seems to be no good in universe explanation for that. I nonetheless enjoyed her character a lot.
Weird that its considered "woke" to represent an actual variety of people that exist in the world, lol. I guess some people would prefer that only people exactly like them are represented in film
I'm not a comics reader for the Eternals specifically so I might be wrong, but they specified INTELLIGENT LIFE was needed for the Celestial to grow. So my assumption is that something about the intelligence of humanity allows the Celestial to hatch. In a very magic or spiritual sort of way, I imagine it means that the consciousness of 8 billion ish sentient life forms are what will feed or generate enough power for the Celestial, since it couldn't happen with the dinosaurs or any non sentient life forms.
That’s pretty much it. Humans emit a very small amount of cosmic energy and the egg was absorbing all that throughout the years till it was ready to pop
You're absolutely right. It needed a specific amount of intelligent life and earth had reached the right population for the celestial to emerge.
@@rafaelantoniobazzanadossan9451 Could the judging of Earth by the Celestials give us mutants in the MCU?
thats exactly how i interpreted it from the movie.
Yeah, you right, it's pretty obvious, i dont know why the right person in the video dont get the point. He didn't give attention to the movie
After a second viewing of Eternals, I actually enjoyed it. I think I was too harsh on it the first time around.
The soundtrack is what stands out the most to me! Love it
Ramin Djawadi is phenomenal at his craft.
Photography is great too imo
yes the theme is great
Yeah, his work on this and Game of Thrones is just amazing. Great music.
Hands down my favourite Marvel film. I loved the indie film narrative storytelling that earns its action scenes. Bold, dense, compelling. I want the sequel announcement.
They actually explained the whole celestial needing significant amounts of energy to emerge in the trailer for Eternals but they cut that scene out of the movie.
The trailer specifically said that it was the energy released from all of life being snapped back into existence at once that kick started the emergence. That specific energy serge was also something the avengers discussed in the beginning scenes of Endgame (I think Rocket was the one who brought it up).
1. Eros/Starfox, the reason you recognize him Eric is because that is the musician, now actor, former and most popular member of One Direction, Harry Styles
2. Dane Whitman is a character known as the Black Knight and the sword is passed down through his family and if ur not like a good person, it has a tendency to turn you bad like(at least in the comics) his uncle who was the previous black knight and was evil
Saw someone saying Thanos has a form of Mahd Wy’ry. He’s an eternal with deviant bloodline. His whole purpose was to cut the amount of life in half but because his mind kept collapsing after being alive for so long, it went from him thinking it was to prevent the celestials into him doing it just because there wasn’t enough resources. Hence why he didn’t think of making more resources and only saw it right to cut the amount of life in half. It’s also stated in the movie that the blip, slowed the process down and it only started back up when everyone came back.
The director, Chloé Zhao, has stated that Eros is only the *adopted* brother of Thanos, so for all we know all the Titans just looked like that in the MCU. But regardless, Thanos has no Eternal or Deviant heritage this time around. Otherwise it'd probably be a major plot hole that the Eternals didn't interfere in the Infinity War if they were able to recognize Thanos as a Deviant.
@@tandnmom100 no he looks like that because of his eternal-deviant gene mutation that made him have the deviant syndrome that deformed him. but naturally all eternals on titan are human-looking, also eros isnt 'adopted' they are actually biological siblings.
@@BaldwinIV_of_Jerusalem In the comics yes, but in the MCU nothing of the sort has been stated, only that he is a dude from Titan
@@Soutar3DG yes but a lot of thanos's strength and power comes from his mutated genes. if they made him not an eternal-deviant it would make sense because of how underpowered he is in mcu but it wouldnt explain why was he able to survive the infinity gauntlet snap (hulk with gamma ray mutated genes were incapacitated), he also destroyed the stones which *nearly* killed him but he still survived it. also why does he look like that because if everyone in titan looks like that it would just ruin titan and his whole backstory in comics, mcu does go different ways compared to comics but changing the whole race of people of a 'planet' is too far.
So wait, if Thanos has Deviant traits then why couldn't the Eternals fight him?
Arishem really pulled up on Earth like wtf!! I was shitting my pants on that scene
in mythology "Tiamat" is a Dragon and the embodiment of saltwater and the primordial sea, also the band "Dissection" have a line about Tiamat in their song "Black Dragon" that reads "Tiamat, Queen of the formless deep, the eleventh seal is now broken, hark to your children's invocations and awaken from your dreadful sleep", just as an fyi
For me personally, I really like the movie. It connected with me, but at the same time I can see why people dislike it. I even told my friends (who are Marvel comic and movie fans) who haven’t seen the movie yet that I wouldn’t be surprised if they were bored with it.
Dude, couldn't of said it better myself. It's one of those films where I think everyone who likes it can see why a lot of people don't and the people who don't like it can see why a lot of people do. It's a film I think we can at least all agree is a step to something bigger and better, kinda like how Captain America The First Avenger led to Captain America The Winter Soldier.
This ! I understand why people don't like it, but i personally REALLY REALLY like it. It could've been better, sure, but i still like it regardless the flaws.
@@fellowspacemarine6657 thats where you are wrong. The People Who dont like it dont understand, nor do they respect, someone Who likes it.
At least thats my experience reading comments. They insult everyone Who likes the movie
The Harry Styles and Blade after credit scenes were awesome!
Yes I love them
4:53 One of my favorite musical moments in the MCU: those ethereal choirs heralding the arrival of the visitors from the sky. Gives me goosebumps every time. @_@
I was so invested with the characters and story of this movie. The stakes were big, characters were likable (even Icarus and Sprite in that old fashioned GOT kinda way) and I just really enjoyed this movie a lot! Can I also say that Sersi's transmutation of the celestial at the end is a giant treat! Also, shout out to the stuff this movie sets up for future Marvel stories.
With all his star/sun imagery, I love that Icarus is essentially a reverse Lucifer. The powerful golden-boy who fell from grace because he couldn't rebel or think for himself.
I'm not too well versed in the comics but all the books I've read characterize Icarus as an "arrow", a straightforward tool, a stoic hammer that sees every problem as a nail. It wasn't a stretch to turn him heel, and I'm so delighted I genuinely didn't see it coming.
I really liked that Ikaris wasn't even really a villain in terms of motivation. He does have a point about the trillions of unborn lives if a Celestial is never born. Also loved that the Celestials weren't really depicted as bad guys
I fucking love this film. I get it’s a little slow but that’s to be expected with how many characters there are, but holy shit is it good
druig bashing sprite's head with a rock is fucking hilarious bro💀💀💀
Marvel: 'So kit do you want a lot of screen time in the movie'
Kit harington: 'I said I don't want it' 😂
Tp kinda answer the question concerning Tiamut's birth: The Celestials require intelligent life, which can be seen as a force or qn energy. I don't think it's an active thing but rather like an egg that requires warmth to hatch.
I really loved the movie. It was a character driven story like we haven't seen in the MCU before. The mainfocus wasn't the deviants or even Tiamut hatching, but how love and friendship and family works in a way. And I really enjoyed those characters, because everyone of them had a standpoint, a point of view.
There are some criticism I have - mostly that I wanted more Makkari. But then again it's amazing that she was the last Eternal we met and yet so many people fell in love with her character.
But I think the characterisation was really beautiful and interesting. Ikaris might be seen just as a bad guy traitor, but he saw the rest of his family betraying their cause. He thought he was doing the right thing. Or Kingo, who had faith in Arishem, but decided against working against his family. Sprite, who was clearly almost angry at humans for showing her what she couldn't do but also angry with Arishem for making her that way - and she picked her side for her love and almost obsession with Ikaris.
Eros is a eternal, Thanos is as well but with a deviant gene therefore he looked the way he did. Also, hence why Thanos was so damn tough to bring down and only shed a tiny speck of blood against IronMan. Yes they are in the comics real brothers. 💙💛
I thought Thanos was an alien race called titans.
@@Nekotaku_TV For MCU or Earth -199999, Thanos is a titan. In the comics or Earth 616, Thanos is a child of two eternals but has a deviant syndrome. Titan is an Eternal colony - the original commentor information doesn't matter for our MCU since they have changed it from the comics (from our knowledge)
@@tvxyzn correct
I was surprised how easy it was for me to memorize the names of the characters so quickly. I thought I was going to be like, "Is the narrow-eyed guy kingo? What the heck was that deaf girl's name again?" I think that shows how well Chloe Zhao familiarized us with the characters.
Definitely the best depiction of a speedster we’ve seen in film
This was the first movie I saw in the cinema since 2019 and it feels like one of the few films where it really matters to go see it in a giant screen
Just saw this yesterday. Was a very entertaining movie. Loved Thena. and my favorite scene was when Druig molly whopped the ever living crap out of Sprites head and for some reason it was so satysfying and funny at the same time I could not stop laughing for a good 10 min.
Edit: just watched the video. The guy talking to Jon Snow in the end credit scene is the new Blade.
yeah, Angelina had much more to do in this, I was surprised. And she was great!
Re-watching this movie makes me appreciate how well they showed a speedster's powers, especially after the last failed attempts in the DC universe. Makkari is the best speedster I've seen in the cinema in a looong time!
I think this is one of the best mcu movies, there’s so much heart in it.
31:57 this moment really made me think that we now know who made the Ten Rings
15:58 Eric's concentrated look is me any time Marvel drop lore, plus ultra levels of focus 😂
Just watched Emergency Awesome who says they have brought out deleted scenes. He says they explained Starfoxs relationship to Thanos. He was an eternal and wanted to stop the emergence on Titan by getting rid of half the population but was unsuccessful. Starfox and Thanos were part of the 10 celestials sent to Titan. Really is nteresting.
- I liked this movie, it stands out from the general concept of superheroes, it is unique, the landscape,camerawork,casting, ost, everything is on top
- I also liked that Thanos was right without knowing it, having prevented Arishem's plan by preventing population growth by reducing it, and it turns out all the lives of mankind were meaningless because their goal was to irrigate the earth to eventually become a victim for the birth of Celestial!
- Eros is a kind of galactic womanizer, he was with the Avengers, and in some comic book arcs he saved Thanos.
- The Black Knight (Kit Harrington) collaborated with Blade)))
Eros in Greek mythology is the god of love and sex. It's where the word "erotic" comes from. I assume it's why he compliments Thena on her beauty.
Западные не ставят скобки в конце предложений чтобы подчеркнуть интонацию, это чисто снг-шная тема.
I personally loved this movie, when I came out of the theater I couldnt believe how much I liked every character and the way they connected them to humanity, especially how well done the phastos family scene was.
The deviant plot didnt have the best conclusion but everything else was great for me, the cinematography and more technical stuff really amazed me on the big screen and I dont usually pay much attention to that
I'm still angry for the deviant plot, he just became self conscious and they killed him off why
@@giuseppepiuma1965 I mean he did just want to kill everybody and everything. Sentience isn't a redeeming quality if you're just going to use it for destruction
@@Echidna23Gaming who talked about redemption? Sentience could be a pivotal point for his character development and they wasted it
Think of it as Tiamut suddenly getting years worth of power in an instant, that in turn powered the emergence to take a leap forward.
Yea that’s how I took it. I mean billions of people popped up on the planet all at once
None of them knew who Harry Styles was, that’s so on brand for these guys hahaha I love nerds so much.
I really enjoyed this movie, I feel like the majority of the negative reviews came from a combination of those with too high expectations, wanting more action, not invested enough in the MCU to absorb all the information that’s dumped on the viewer and of course the typical bigotry when you have such a diverse cast
Not to say that it’s perfect or that there aren’t plenty of people who just didn’t like it for perfectly valid reasons because of course there are, I just think that the valid criticisms were blown out of proportion by those other groups
I enjoyed the movie. Its fresh and different from other mcu movies and beautifully shot. Love the cast too.
Because of the popularity of homelander and omni man, and the cinematography of eternals.
I Immediately knew icarus was the main villain
I adore this movie. Top 10 MCU for me and second favourite movie of phase 4. I love all their unique power sets but I think Phastos’ are my favourite. He just comes out with some badass weapons during the beach fight.
The energy surge lost from the Thanos snap suddenly stalled the growth of the Tiamut. But when the second snap happened, it brought all those back in a sudden burst, after 5 years of those left behind continuing to grow, with the sudden return in the hull snap, it was too much energy!
Is what I understood from the explanation when they explained.
I went in to this movie wary (Mahd Wy’ry 😉)because of the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it. It was super dense and definitely not a movie I could pop on for fun any day of the week, but it left a positive impression on me for sure. I’m glad I’m one of the ones who liked it.
Yeah, my mind was collapsing under the weight of all those reviews. It was almost too much to handle.
I think the reviews are somewhat justified. I felt that the movie was very oddly structured and paced and the reveal would be more interesting if it was made through Thena's memories resurfacing instead of a giant exposition dump. I'm torn, I wanted to like it and the visuals are great but I have big issues with the writing. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though.
@@hawkins347 I don’t claim it to be a masterpiece without flaws, but a 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, rating it as the worst movie in the MCU? Not by a long shot imo. I’ll take Eternals over the generic-ass “Ant-Man and the Wasp-esque” MCU movies any day of the week. The reviews worried me for that reason. We’ve all been saying that we want to see these movies trail off of the repetitive, generically-fine cookie-cutter path, and explore new stuff. Then they finally do and everyone shits on it. Looks like we’re getting sucked right back into the Marvel cookie-cutter cabinet. Hopefully they pay more attention to the audience reception than the critics’.
@@brennanbarber7469 Oh I agree with you. It's not on the bottom for me either, and I'd probably give it about 60%, and I appreciate the beautiful cinematics and trying to veer from the formula, but I think it deserved a better script. It felt to me like somebody wrote out the big set pieces in Babylon and Tenochtitlan first and then struggled connecting them to the present day story. And the story follows a formula of introducing a concept and then explaining it in a flashback and this repeats about three or four times. I think it could've been structured better. Maybe it could've benefited from being a mini-series, just to pace it a bit better and let us spend more time with the characters. Giving it 47% is definitely overdramatic, though, I've seen way worse movies in my life.
@@hawkins347 Personally, the lowest I could give it is a 70%. I thought it was super enjoyable, I was surprised how well the family dynamic was expressed on screen despite only just being introduced to every single character that appeared in the movie lol the action was some of my favorite. I’m very very much looking forward to seeing where the story and characters go from here. This movie EASILY beats Shang Chi for me. I know I’m in the minority but I’d almost go so far as to say I disliked Shang Chi.
I've heard the theory that Thanos was also an eternal and knew about Celestials, that's why he wanted to eraise half of population (instead provide more food and stuff) so new celestaials just couldn't be born. That theory blown my mind :D
New celestial would still be born, thanos erasing half of life only delayed celestial emergence on every host planets.
If he wanted to stop celestial from being born, he would have need to completly erase all life on celestial host planets or destroy them
@@bashengatheblackmanta7003 Thanos erasing half the population was potentially his first step. He would then stop the population from growing too much or else the same resource shortages would happen again. He only destroys the stones because his viewpoint changes so there was likely more to his plan
@@ryaniswhoiam5695 l think erzsing half of life was his plan all long and then retire after he succeeded which is what he told the heros he would do
@@bashengatheblackmanta7003 very true, perhaps he hoped the universe would never reach that level of population again or that someone else would be his successor and use the stones if the population grew too high
@@bashengatheblackmanta7003 erasing all life on celestial host planets or destroing them would be complitly agains what Thanos want to do all long, He killed people to make "better" universe if he destroy celestial's host planet Arishem will find another planet for celestial to be born. Only erasing population or killing the celestial will stop this. I agree with you that erasing half of life was Thanos plan all along but when he's telling why he is doing this he always says that he want to bring balance to the universe - stop overpopulation and provide resources to feed the other half. Same result could be achived also by providing resources.
always amazed at how much people miss when watching a movie. like 90% of there confusion/complaints are explained in the movie.
if there's that much confusion, then the film did not do well communicating the information. personally I found it overegged, less would have been more for me.
@@Joy_56 you clearly don't undestand what I said or chosen to take half of what I said and try to spin it a certain way. 90% of the complaints they have are answered in the movie, not that 90% of the movie is confusing.
@@darththor3982 you right. just like why human can raise the celestial, the answer is in the movie. They didnt pay attention to the movie
My first time seeing it was Wednesday night too so I am so glad you guys doing a reaction. A lot of these channels put up internals content months ago like everybody went to the movie theaters amidst covid
This movie is a breath of fresh air to the MCU and I gotta give props to Marvel for trying something new. Say what you want but the cinematography is gorgeous, the score by THE MAN Ramin Djawadi is amazing, and the actors did their job wonderfully. I love Makkari, Sersi, Thena and Phastos the most. Can't wait to see more of Eternals in the future!
It's not the watcher who was speaking off screen it was Mahershala Ali's blade!! Chloe Zhao confirmed it
Butler from Dane Whitman a.k.a the "Black Knight"

I don't get the criticism of this film. I mean, I guess it could be because of a lack of "action/quips" but it was amazing.
It told a wonderful story of faith/duty/loyalty vs love/family/right. I absolutely loved it.
If you paid attention at the beginning when you heard the story of the Celestials being told as the Eternals were arriving on Earth you noticed what they knew of the Deviants prior to learning what the truth was about their mission. The Celestials lied to them about the origin of the Deviants and their own existence so it is quite safe to assume they lied about other things. They claimed to exist before the Infinity Stones and I don't think that is true. They told the truth about their purpose which is to create more life throughout the Universe, but they exist to try and stop Galactus as his purpose is to eventually consume all life energy in the Universe and then explode as the big bang to begin the next one. In the comics Galactus is actually the first being to exist in this Universe ( Even before Eternity who is the living embodiment of the Universe itself ) and was the last survivor of the previous one. He can not truly be classified as a "Villain" as he is not good or evil, he just is.
What began with the events in the latest Spider-man film and will continue in the next Doctor Strange film will be opening up concepts from the Marvel Universe into the MCU that are very hard to grasp mentally. In one What If: Avengers story line from back in the 1980's a villain known as Korvac killed almost every Avenger before he was defeated, but they all died in the end with the death of the entire Universe and in the comics there are supposed to be an unlimited number of alternate realities, but since one was destroyed completely that meant there was one less than and infinite number. How do we even conceive of how many that is? I mean if there were an infinite number and one was destroyed how do you come up with a number to say how many are left. How do you go from an uncountable number to a countable one just because one is now gone?
Btw, the guys in charge at Marvel comics eventually figured out the mistake they made by eliminating one alternate reality and wrote a story to bring that one reality back by having cosmic level characters such as Phoenix, Dr. Strange and several others break through the barriers from their own realities to the destroyed one that they represented as just empty white space and there they found the Ultimate Nullifier, which was used by a mind controlled Captain America to destroy the original reality and they used it to recreate that reality sacrificing themselves in the process and so they were now back to an infinite number of realities. Even though the math still made no sense people stopped thinking about it. How could taking one away from an infinite number suddenly make a finite number? Would that not really mean there was a finite number to begin with? People think time travel questions hurt your brain, but this one is worse.
There’s no way Calvin guessed the twist in the beginning. He had to have atleast seen certain scenes before this😂
It was terribly predictable.
Evil superman is kinda a in trope rn
People were predicting Icarus was an antagonist ever since the first trailer.
I was thinking there was something fishy about Icarus from the beginning. 🤷♀️
@@Dustin314 only because of that scene in the trailer where he's in ajaks place shooting lasers. these 4 don't remember the trailer
Karun Uncle was the real MVP of the movie
A popular theory that was born from Thanos being revealed to be an Eternal, or at least the brother of one, is that he suffered from the same type of illness as Thena did and he knew that for some reason that killing half the population would save the lives of so many people but he didn’t know why so he invented the resource explanation to justify it
sick theory
This is a movie that gets better with each rewatch because there’s so much on the first watch. Saw it in theaters twice then on D+ and I really like this film.
Also in the credits when on Brian tyree Henry’s name the photo of the arm with the rings around it looks very similar to the ten rings.
Really surprised by this movie, i don't know why i heard so many negative things. Even from reviewers/reactors that i usually trust. Well they lost my trust because this was highly entertaining and a great looking movie. Shame people talked it down so much, hopefully doesn't hurt the future cuz i want more
Same
It just critics who are hate the movie, mostly of fans actually enjoyed it.
@eosll or people just enjoyed the movie?? Not everyone is a fanboy lmao
@@DanielFernandez-gv6iy No you literally have to be a fanboy to enjoy it. Or an idiot. Or both.
@@za-ir5ni not everyone is going to like the same shit as you. It’s not that serious. I do something productive with your life instead of getting butthurt at what people You don’t even know like.
The argument was Cosmic energy. The more people inhabits the planet the more cosmic energy available for the emergence to happen. They talked about it in the plot sipnosis. Cheers guys
What i meant was, in theory we all have some cosmic energy. So the more people the more cosmic energy available. Once there was enough life on earth to create the emergence, Thiamut would come out.
Eternals is a pretty dang good movie with some beautiful imagery & themes and it did not deserve to be hated on just because a lot of people are simpletons and can’t broaden their skewed horizon, this movie has its flaws but people treated it like it was as bad as WW84…I’ll die on this hill
Also, if you think about it even with Thano’s snap, five years the population was still growing. Then when the other half came back it probably helped Tiamut hatch.
Really enjoyed this film, seems alot of the hate, that I've come across anyway, is from people who've grown accustomed to the usual MCU formula and don't watch many slower paced films/ character driven stories/dramas, obviously not everyone, but for the most part that I've seen that is the case
True. Episodes of the Marvel shows that build the story, get the biggest complaints also.
@@marshsundeen 100%
@The Cracked Lenses I disagree. You learned more about the characters in those episodes. A lot of people complained about the first two episodes in Hawkeye, when we were meeting Kate Bishop and setting up the story.
I just found the characters and story-telling very messy, with a lot of weird things included that are distracting and aren't explained or just are pointless.
@@maleficking6556 I definitely agree there are some flaws and I'd never claim it to be a perfect movie, I also think there's an issue of too much and repetitive exposition, but its still a very enjoyable watch, for me at least, and I don't think it at all deserves the bombardment of bad reviews as if every marvel movie doesn't have it's flaws
My favourite parts of these videos is the conversation/review after the reaction. Its like a fun mini movie podcast basically. Love em
my reaction to this movie was basically "this is justice league but better."
They've got wonder woman but with a far cooler moveset then just 'she's strong'
They've got green lantern but he's not an asshole and he uses tech instead of holograms, and his creations are permanent.
They've got the Flash but she doesn't look stupid when she runs and the speed effects have power rather then being floaty.
They've got Injustice Superman, but NO CAPES.
And they already work amazingly as a team, as Eric says, and there's an incredible super-powered battle at the end.
The "looking stupid when he runs" and "floaty" was all _intentional_ though, it would get weird when you are moving that fast.
EDIT: Also, they deliberately did the "magic speed protection" here where Makkari can save you without you dying from the G-forces.
Thank you for reacting to the Eternals. I saw it a few times in IMAX and it was glorious. Enjoyed your reaction and discussion afterwards
I really enjoyed this movie. A high-powered cameo or tie-in like Thor would probably have won over the naysayers. He's had a few run-ins with the celestials. After seeing Makarri, Quicksilver sure got shafted though..
Makarri was utterly amazing
They could meet again in the future
I genuinely don't understand the bad reviews this movie got. it's in my top 10 MCU movies, possibly top 5. and Makari is probably my favourite live action speedster ever
One fan theory I heard about Ego is that he was a Celestial seed that failed to properly develop. Perhaps some disaster befell the planet he was gestating on that the Eternals present failed to stop, leading to its destruction. Arishem then figured Ego was dead, and moved on. Ego, however, survived, and without a source of life to draw energy from, he was unable to mature, meaning he just became a Celestial brain floating aimlessly through the universe, until he built his planet, and even then, the Celestials likely didn't even think to look for him. That said, I'm guessing if Ego's plan came to fruition, they would've noticed, and Arishem would intervene.
On that note, one way they could incorporate Galactus into the MCU, is that he could be another rogue Celestial, who draws power by consuming the seeds within planets.
I really hope that you guys achieving 1M subs this year. Keep the spirit and stay healthy!
One of my favorite Marvel films for sure! I love the potential the characters have and definitely want to see more of them
It’s funny that you just released this, because I just watched Eternals last night on Disney+!
I love your Star Wars Rebels reactions, so it was cool to see your reactions to Eternals.
I appreciate the philosophical debate at the end of this video! More than any other Marvel movie in recent memory, this movie had me talking and arguing with my friends about philosophy coming out of the theater, lol.
