Official 'The Eternals' Thread

Finally got around to see this, why tf they choose to focus on the 2 most boring Eternals with no chemistry??? Literally every other pairing in this film were better including Kingo and his assistant. This definitely should've been a series, the other characters needed to be fleshed out more. There was also NO excuse for not helping out with Thanos seeing as how it affected more than humans (they probably would've gotten washed tho because they don't look all that strong here.)

Finally got around to watching this joint, solid 7/10 movie. Could of been better, spent more time on the Eternals influence on mankind over the history.

Some fan service with maybe a Atlantis scene some King Arthur and some Egyptian stuff would of been dope but overall it was alright.

The Celestials being the Gods of Gods could of been expaned on more, Would of been nice to see Arishem vs Zeus,Odin and Vishnu like in the comics just to show what scale of power the Celestials are on.

you do realize that stopping Thanos would’ve meant the entire planet would’ve been destroyed right?

Earths doom was imminent. They’re not from earth. They were eventually going to leave. They were programmed to believe that this was necessary in order for the universe survival.

So who wins outta Ikaris vs Thanos without the Infinity Gauntlet? Choose wisely

Thanos. Thanos worked over Iron Man, Cap, and Thor without the Infinity Gauntlet in Endgame.

Watched some fan reviews of people just seeing it now that it's on streaming and they are mostly positive not understanding the poor reviews. Good movie just mid tier for a Marvel movie.

a few people that had no knowledge of the Eternals pre-determined that it was trash before the movie even came out. And that was the narrative.

MCU pre gauntlet Thanos is nerfed

No he wasn't. Pre-Gauntlet Thanos was the one that beat the breaks of Cap/Thor/Ironman.

Was referring to his comic to film

movie was absolute trash. Did a piss poor job of tying into the MCU or making me feel the stakes of the movie. Didnt like any of the characters. Ikaris, Ajak and Sersi might as well have been cardboard cutouts. Even Druig lacked the presence and menace associated with his character. You can tell Zhao had only rudimentary understanding of the characters.

I think the funniest part about this movie is that it makes literally the exact same mistake as the Eternals comics. That mistake is failing to make the Eternals matter in grand scheme of the MCU.. In a world with Asgardians and Gamma monsters, the Eternals fail to have any oopmh or weight. Its why in the comics, Jack Kirby orignally made it so that the Eternals didnt even take place on Earth 616 (the Universe of the Marvel Comics line) until editorial folded them into 616 (because the Celestials are badass).

When the Eternals have worked in the MCU (which isnt often), they work because writers like Gaiman and Gillen lean more into the Eternals connection to the Celestials. This movie tried to do that but really tried to push the "they inspired and protected humanity !" thing that falls apart the second you glance at it. You cant build the MCU as this trove of Easter Eggs and world building and then forcibly insert some Non charisma having pillars who were supposed to have been there, operating on a grand scale the whole time.
