I would love an extended version when released on Blu-ray or a director's cut or something. i dont care how long it is i would have wanted more story...
you should read the comics the history so much richer and better. Movie was too much going back and forth also felt like the movie could've been more a series
That’s probably what they thought when they (tried) to make a series involving The Inhumans awhile back. It had so much potential but unfortunately it just fell flat 😕…
They are supposed to get a Disney+ Series prequel to the movie, it was confirmed to be in development so hopefully they can put it together quickly to get the same cast!
Would have loved to see the scene of Thena slicing through the silk sheets make it into the film as it would hv been visually-stunning to see in cinema. There was another trailer scnes of Thena surrounded by smokes & leaping through the air that I don't remember making it into the film, & that also would hv been cool to see.
@@andrechad1 Ahh. The smoke scene seemed familiar but I couldn't place where in the movie I had seen it so I figured I was probably just familiar with it from the trailers. I definitely would have loved to see Thena slicing thru the silk sheets tho.
I was sad to see Gilgamesh die, but Ajak had a scary death, I wonder if because they were sucked out by Kro, if they could ressurect, like the Celestial said they could without the memories. Also, the first scene, of the deviant eating a human was savage! If the whole movie was violent like that, with deviants ripping apart Ajak and Gilgamesh, this could be the most shoking hero movie ever, with deep horror, danger and gore. But I liked how it was done, but the deaths were not so beliavable.
I guess they are robots/sleeves in Altered Carbon, their cosmic energy got sucked away by the deviant, memories get backup and re-download to new sleeves.
I find the more I think about Eternals, the better it gets because it introduces so many awesome concepts to the MCU. Walking out of the theater I gave it a C+, but after giving others the highlights and seriously reflecting on it, i upgraded it to A- .
It's certainly deep and heavy and demands further analysis. Plenty of philosophical angle and real life metaphors. Like you said, can't really grade it based on first impression or one viewing.
Finished watching Eternals today at AMC Theatres and the second viewing again makes the experience a whole better than the first viewing for sure because you get to see more of the little details within the film that will play a huge part for the overall storyline. I think what I love about Marvel's Eternals is the lengthy exposition and it fits this film really well because when you are talking about Gods such as the Celestials, lots of exposition is required as the Eternals explain to the audience as to how everything was created. When Kevin Feige said that Sersi would be the key, taking the lead in this film he was right all along. The whole concept of how life was created with Arishem planting seeds within each world(s) and sacrificing them for the great good felt like they were necessary evil. Bring Jack Kirby's creation to the screen is a tough act and the risk kind of paid off nicely especially with Chloe Zhao helming this project. Kirby's world in general is huge and you need a director who understands that giant universe and Chloe Zhao fit all those categories. The heart of the story is Sersi and Ikaris where they have this on again off again relationship which is complicated due to Ikaris' duty to the Celestial(s). The beauty of this film is that it explores the grey area and you sense that with Ikaris, Sersi, Phastos, Gilgamesh, Druig, Makkari, Sprite and especially Ajak. The Ajak-Ikaris relationship is integral to the story because you get that mother-son relationship between both characters. The concept of protecting life, sacrificing life is the question that the Eternals face and the catalyst is Ajak. One of my favorite scenes between Ajak-Ikaris is her explaining to him about humans should not be sacrificed for the emergence and the scene with Ikaris especially with his face where he doesn't say anything was just beautiful. You need emotional content and Richard Madden's Ikaris delivered it perfectly. When it came to Ikaris in every scene you see emotional content very similar to another character in the BBC series Bodyguard. Even the other Eternals had their own nice emotional journey and for me Gilgamesh-Thena storyline really hit me close to home because Gilgamesh could've had a normal life but gave that to protect Thena due to her dementia. Gilgamesh is all about chivalry. When it comes to the Deviants they kind of reminded me of the Sentinels from the Matrix especially with the way they moved just very fast. The whole concept with the creation of Eternals and Deviants is creating balance in the universe kind of manipulative by Celestials. They are definitely devious and more needs to be explored for future storylines. One thing that surprised when watching the end credits was seeing David Kaye the Canadian voice actor from Beast Wars, Beast Machines and X-Men Evolution voicing the Celestial Arishem. I never saw that coming at all. When it came to the mid and post credit scenes both were really good as the universe just gets bigger and bigger since we could see some sort of team-up between the Eternals that escaped, Dane Whitman and maybe The Daywalker as they try to save their friends from Arishem. This movie really opened the doors for more Eternals storyline easily since so many questions need to be answered, needs closure because that cliffhanger ending left with more questions than answers. I am curious to see what the next chapter is going to be for the Eternals because the tagline saying "Eternals will return" to me says we could get a sequel for this film or they could appear in other MCU films. Again second viewing also makes the experience a whole lot better than the first viewing. For it's an 8 out of 10.
Great synopsis and the first one I‘be seen that has picked up on how Richard Madden portrayed the emotions he was feeling through physicality. Those who said his acting was wooden missed the point. He was the stoic loyal soldier who didn’t question his orders but his physical reactions gave away how he was conflicted and the affect Sersi and how she saw humanity had on him
I just watched the movie thinking that it was gonna be bad BUT it’s actually amazing and my favorite mcu movie , it’s not a typical mcu movie in the slightest and it’s a good thing , it feels refreshing and it broadens the mcu with its mythology and makes it feel like mcu is a real universe with multiple sides just like the real world , the movie is more character driven than action packed and that’s great cuz we’re gonna have a lot time with these characters to get great action scenes but you only get one shot for a first impression and see who these characters are and using that shot to introduce them as “humans “ lays a stronger foundation for them as characters, they did a great job
I'm glad they stuck w/ the 10 Eternals - Vampiro sounds like he would have felt misplaced from the team anyway, and if anything I would have enjoyed any extra time to be spent on developing the characters that *did* make it into the film (Druig's cut fight scene, the Eternals' relationships - Sprite Ikkarus & Sersi, Druig & Makkari, Gilgamesh & Thena, Ajak & the others, etc).
First time seeing it, I was perplexed and couldn’t stop thinking about it. Went to see it again and realized this is my favorite film of this genre. I think what people hate about the film is that Death and longing are so prevalent in the film. I only hope they will make another one with the same cast. Fingers crossed.
SOME MCU fans didn't like it because it felt more like a DCEU (Snyderverse version) one: less humour, more "broken" and non-perfect characters, slowerpacing... BUT the main problem with the movie was, IMO, actually, its US (mostly) promotion. Talking about "inclusiveness" and "diversity" over Story and characters ("we have a gay couple that will save lives" WTF did it had to do with the film ?). And when people complained about it (or questioning the changes made from the Comcis) they were called all kind of "phobic" and "cist" names instead of being answered "give the movie a chance", "you'll understand it when you see it"... Insulting your core audience is NOT the best way to ask for their money. Had they talked about the film instead if its feared "forced woke message", Eternals would have been more successful. Because the changes and diversity were (MOSTLY... NOT ALL BUT MOSTLY) justified by the story and storytelling... despite drastically changing the lore of the Comics.
The movie is good, not perfect but I'm pretty sure this would have been perfect if it was a Disney Plus series. I love the Eternals and they all look and feel interesting. Just wish we would have seen them more.
if it was a Disney plus series there would be a better story as they would have been more time to present it as a typical Disney Plus Marvel mini-series is 6 episodes. Maybe 5 or 6 hours of content.
And more of Makkari beating Ikaris into the wall. And even more of Makkari and Druig’s relationship. Those two barely got any screen time, but they completely stole the show
I liked Eternals a lot. Origin story films are always burdened with too much exposition, but the burden of introducing 10 new characters and the deviants and the Celestials..... It was a lot of information that needed to be conveyed. A lot of the exposition was done visually, not purely in boring dialogue, and that was an Herculean challenge that Kaz and Ryan tackled brilliantly in their script. Chloé Zhao ,Rhamin Djawadi and Ben Davis made an incredible team with a vision that came through on the screen as well as any Marvel film has done. The film is not one of the light comedic films that Guardiens of the Galaxy, Thor, Ragnorok and Shang-Chi get to be. The nature and scope of the story is so much bigger than that style of filmmaking would support. Brilliant film in my estimation. Amazing, brilliant film. Never thought the Eternals or the Celestials would ever make it to the movie screen, but that's why Kaz and Ryan were the right team to develop the idea and Chloé and her team were brilliant executing the idea.
Another key difference is that in the trailers Ajak explicitly says that the return of half of the population is what provided the necessary energy to trigger the Emergence. In the movie, she never mentions that kind of mechanics -- they cut that part, and now it feels like she is just sayig that the fact that humans managed to do something like that is part of what makes us special and, thus, worth saving. While she doesn't say those exact words, the editing cuts from her saying humans brought everyone back to her reflection on how we love and create and feel etc., leading to the worth saving conclusion.
I wish they kept the boxing scene with Druig because him simply saying he can’t do it to Sersi was kind of weak and strange as if he didn’t care enough because he did not seem like he was unable to keep fighting with her as the scene implied
I enjoyed it. But they did ajak wrong. She’s a massive leader in the comics only riveled by Aeros. She gets dropped by ikaris? And Gilgamesh, a comic characters who’s brute strength rivals Thor’s get fucked by a worm of a tail? Then ikaris for some reason goes “ya fuck y’all” then back to “ok nevermind I die now” like huuuuh? It was fucking awesome don’t get me wrong. The eternals were one of the “lesser known” heroes I wish they had on the big screen (still praying for sentry & Hyperion & please god let gladiator be shown in some Thor movie). But they got done dirty bruh.
That’s what I thought as well. I think it would’ve been better to keep Ajak alive, introduce the idea of stopping the emergence, and have Icarus maybe team up with the Deviants only to end up betraying all of them altogether. Gilgamesh should’ve been kept alive. Killing Gilgamesh was a stupid idea. They should’ve had him and Thena fighting Kro at the end. That could’ve made for a bigger fight scene. If they had to kill Thena or Gilgamesh, then they could’ve took that opportunity then. The thing that bothered me the most was Icarus realizing what he did was wrong after all the bullshit he pulled off. And Sersi, I love her, but girl- he left you after 5,000 years, only to find out he knew about the emergence all along, he KILLED your leader, allowed Gilgamesh to die, betrayed you, and had Sprite practically stab you. Oh, and he also had the intent on killing Druig… and you still had the audacity to place your forehead onto his? Girl. I would’ve knocked him out and turned him into a tree too.
I mean they aren't really totally done away with, since they are synthetic and sersi was shown like a million copies of her in the world forge, and their memories are also in the world forge, so they can be resurrected easily. That aside, Salma Hayek said she has more MCU titles in her contract, idk if they are flashback scenes or more superhero stuff post resurrection though. Would be dope to see them back again on screen as their respective characters.
@@ankushdutta5564 The ones who died can return-- minus their memories on Earth. This will, essentially, make them different characters than the ones we were introduced to in this movie.
I would have loved to have seen what the alternate endings could have been. As for how this ranks in the Marvel films, for me it is a solid entry behind Thor Ragnarok. It does something different and has a lot to take in story wise or visually which I enjoyed. The fights were not the best in the MCU but they were also far from the worst.
I loved eternals so much! All the characters were amazing and I wish we had more time to have gotten more information on all of the characters throughout history! I wish the movie had the thena/Angelina Jolie silk scene! I love Angelina Jolie and her character thena was amazing! I wish we could have seen more of her XD
I wonder if some of the other gods such as Loki are descendants of the Eternals with Loki having similar personality and powers to Sprite, Sersi with her transmutation abilities parallels to Doctor Strange. Also with Phastos and the hand movement technique that he uses to create his inventions are again similar to Doctor Strange where the hand expression movements to create spells is call Tutting that Jay Funk created and taught the actor. I am curious if Jay Funk was the trainer for Brian Tyree Henry in this film.
This is not a deleted scene but they mention many times that they have lived in Athens (Greece) and many of them are inspired in Greek gods so I would like to watch them in this period
I don't understand why many critics and an awful lot of people, mostly MCU fans hate this movie. Honestly the movie is quite good . Not as good as No Way Home or Endgame but good.
I really enjoyed this movie as it was so different from others in the Marvel universe. I thought the chemistry and dynamic between all the characters was explored very well. The visuals and camera angles were shot beautifully and I felt the movie had a lot of heart and soul with a good balance of action and especially enjoyed the twists and turns the movie displayed. It was a great visual ride and have watched it several times now and keep seeing things I had not noticed before. I hope Marvel continues this trend with well told character stories as well balancing these films out with action scenes.
I really like the movie, it was amazing to see it in the cinema, and now again on DISNEY+. I never watch trailers because I don't want spoilers. It was very different from what I expected. I love the different concept of a group of Heroes who not only have flaws, but a real fall-out over how to handle it, and the fact that some got killed in their 1st movie (a little GOT vibe). Marvel succeeded again in presenting something different instead of telling stories again & again & again with only a little variation (yes I mean DC)
in an interview lauren ridoff said that all of them filmed a scene with harry styles where they were awaken like the first scene of the film. I think that was suppose to be a alternate ending scene that would have showed all of them at the world forge which would also confirm that other versions of ajak & Gilgamesh are still alive
I feel like the scenes that should've been kept in are the scenes exploring the characters like Phastos and his kid talking on the Domo. Sprite and Makkari talking and Makkari explaining her love for humanity. And the scene with Sprite and Dane at the museum. Also, I wish they gave Kro some horns because he has Horns in the comics, and the horns would've been a cool nod.
The shield seen in Gupta empire (India) is a traditional war (defence) weapon and nothing related to Cap's shield. Alternatively, Cap's shield (as a weapon) may have been inspired by actual shield shown here... Respectfully, either you are not aware of the existence of this actual shield or writing anything just for the sake of it.. 🙏
I would have loved to have seen 12 Eternals because that would be even more reminiscent of the majority of mythological pantheons. It's always 12 major deities. Even the legend of Atlantis mentions it. It's even on the Major Arcana in Tarot.
I love the movie so much for the diversity and love the characters and the cast so much. Still have shocking moments. But I wished it was a 2 Part movie instead of all in 1 movie. There wasn't enough scenes for some of the eternals to shine. That's the saddest part. Some of them didn't even get to fight in the movie.
I think Ikarus didnt die, he go to the sun bcs he want to have time to be alone. Ikarus go to sun not for suicide, bcs its his home if i read the story. Sorry if im wrong but thats what i get from the movie.
I'd say Thena is more like Psylocke than Wonder Woman, but idk much about DC. I just don't remember Wonder Woman being able to manifest all kinds of different weapons, whereas Psylocke can.
#Eternals is way way way better than #AvengersEndgame. My top 5 MCU MOVIES ARE 1. #TheWinterSoldier 2. #InfinityWar 3. #Eternals 4. #DoctorStrange 5. #TheIncredibleHulk
i didnt go to the cinema to watch this movie after reading what the critics said right after their privileged movie preview. Damn those critics who rated the movie a low down! they took away the opportunity of those who would have had otherwise watched it in full cinematic glory or would have skipped it for the lame and silly shangchi and the ten rings. Eternals is an epic and a masterpiece ! i enjoyed every moment of it, despite having ten new characters introduced in a single movie, it is like watching an Avenger Assembled movie! i am definitely looking forward to Eternal 2 and damn the critics whom i am going to trace them down and write them off completely , i am not going to miss it at the cinema the next time round!
Movie should have had more mentions or ties to the MCU universe then it did. Alone if you were not told this was a Marvel movie it would seem it like had nothing to do with it. Most of the references in trailers were not even used. They should have had cameos or flash back something to show they were around the last 13 or so movies but hiding in plain site. Beautiful movie, just feels out of place.
I watched Eternals after I watched Shang-Chi, to be honest I prefer Shang-Chi over Eternals, maybe because its more energetic while Eternals is calmer, both of the cast’s film are amazing especially Eternals, it isn’t an easy job to make a character stood out when there’re so many main characters in one place, they’re shining in their own respective ways (for me especially Richard Madden’s acting when Ikarus throwing Ajak and seeing how Ajak being killed by the deviant, was really 👏, I like the complexity of his character the most), the proportion of screen time of each Eternals’s characters were equals, we could understand the story easily, but for me there’s something missing from Eternals, I felt the story were being rushed. It’s like Shang-Chi really fit to be a standalone film while Eternals more fit to be a tv series, like WandaVision and Loki, maybe I get used to watch each of personal character until they merge together, like in the Avanger, which I saw the background story of Captain America, Ironman, and Thor first and then watched them together in one film.
This was a huge stretch… cap never went back in time to get the idea for the shield ! 😂, Howard stark made a shield, many shields in history were circular… or even could have just studied ancient texts or books.. a shield is just common sense !
These marvel films need to be 3 hours long with a break in the middle…..so much gets cut out I feel they only do it for timing, I say make our enjoyment last longer 👍🏼😉
I loved the Eternals - so many characters to use in future stories, and all of them with lives spanning centuries, each with scope for so many life experiences and interactions. The film packed much more emotional heft than many Marvel films and it deserved a better reception from fans and general cinema goers than it got. I think history will treat it better than the critics did upon release.
Thena is my favourite eternal so I agree with that. I also agree with Salma Hayek having such a small role. But, since Eternals are synthetic life forms created by Arishem (and Salma Hayek is a very well-known and talented actress) I doubt she's gone for good.
There are no dots to connect when it comes to that Shield remember over a millennium Warriors and soldiers carry Shields and a lot of them you Shields as their main weapon those soldiers were called paladins
Maybe captain america went back in time to give them idea of the shield…… 🤣🤣🤣🤣. All circular shields look like that. No need for a time heist to grasp that concept.
maybe some of these post credit scenes can be used in other Marvel films and maybe some of the deleted scenes can be reworked into a Eternals sequel or a Eternals special edition.
I loved the movie, not just for the Girrrl powwwer and the diversity without stereotypes, but the acting ! the action! likable, nuanced characters! But the best part for me was the underlying story/message. I am really looking forward to the next one, especially with my favorite Harry S.
So by ranking now.. I enjoyed the fight sequence and overall visual story telling of Shang-Chi first, then Eternals next.. Infinix War and Endgame were really amazing, but these ones had a better fight sequence for a SUPER Hero movie..
I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I already know a few of them die which REALLY surprised me because aren’t they like main characters?? Thought they’d be part of marvel longer
When they show the deviants in the old days, there were deviants with wings, different shapes etc. I don't understand why in the modern day that it requires the big deviant to grant the other evolved forms by transferring eternals' powers?
SPOILER WARNING I also noticed that the trailer has been edited so that it seems that Ajak is alive the whole time! I was shocked to see her death so soon :')
the scene where Sprite makes the fireworks in the sky - ive seen it in the trailers and also quickly in this video - was that in the actual movie? I didnt catch if it was
4:43 I agree with this I liked the movie, the plot is really good but they couldn’t really show characters personalities and it’s hard to understand why they did what they did(which I wouldn’t say since spoilers)
Same. Sadly, it's the maturity and measured pacing that led to many determining it was boring. There are many who lack the necessary focus and maturity which would have allowed them to appreciate this beautiful addition to the MCU.
Do you think any of these deleted scenes should have been in the movie?
I would love an extended version when released on Blu-ray or a director's cut or something. i dont care how long it is i would have wanted more story...
I love This movie a lot.
If any of these scenes were to be in the main movie, you wouldn't have had much to create your own most amazing video... Badoof 🤩🤝👍
I would love the scene in Gupta Empire.

Yes 🙌🏻
Yeesss.. Eternals is amazing
I totally agree!!
Yuppppp

she barely spoke and looked like an old hag, as did hyak
@@steve8450 nobody asked for your irrelevant opinion
@@steve8450 you're sad boi
Agree. The only problem is Angelina Jolie has mentioned that she wouldn't want a standalone movie about Thena. Let's hope she changes her mind.
@@KW-sm2rt I love Angelina Jolie but I don’t think a Thena stand alone movie sounds very enticing.
With so many characters, the Eternals would make for an epic series
If it would have stayed 12 ETERNALS instead of 10 yeah I agreed a series would have been great to give each character a background story
That’s probably what they thought when they (tried) to make a series involving The Inhumans awhile back. It had so much potential but unfortunately it just fell flat 😕…

It had “potential” to appeal to obsessed fans. Certainly the Inhumans didn’t appeal to the rest of humanity.
i know right!!!!
Would have loved to see the scene of Thena slicing through the silk sheets make it into the film as it would hv been visually-stunning to see in cinema.
There was another trailer scnes of Thena surrounded by smokes & leaping through the air that I don't remember making it into the film, & that also would hv been cool to see.
The leaping moment was in the final part of the film, when she was fighting Kro (the Deviant) in a cave on the beach.
@@andrechad1 Ahh. The smoke scene seemed familiar but I couldn't place where in the movie I had seen it so I figured I was probably just familiar with it from the trailers.
I definitely would have loved to see Thena slicing thru the silk sheets tho.
We did get the shot of her holding the gold sword minus the blank eyes
I was sad to see Gilgamesh die, but Ajak had a scary death, I wonder if because they were sucked out by Kro, if they could ressurect, like the Celestial said they could without the memories. Also, the first scene, of the deviant eating a human was savage! If the whole movie was violent like that, with deviants ripping apart Ajak and Gilgamesh, this could be the most shoking hero movie ever, with deep horror, danger and gore. But I liked how it was done, but the deaths were not so beliavable.
I guess they are robots/sleeves in Altered Carbon, their cosmic energy got sucked away by the deviant, memories get backup and re-download to new sleeves.
Yeaa ajax and Gilgamesh death so fricking heart wrenching ;-; I literally shaking when I saw Gilgamesh slowly dying and nobody can't help him T.T

I liked Eternals a lot. Origin story films are always burdened with too much exposition, but the burden of introducing 10 new characters and the deviants and the Celestials.....
It was a lot of information that needed to be conveyed. A lot of the exposition was done visually, not purely in boring dialogue, and that was an Herculean challenge that Kaz and Ryan tackled brilliantly in their script. Chloé Zhao ,Rhamin Djawadi and Ben Davis made an incredible team with a vision that came through on the screen as well as any Marvel film has done. The film is not one of the light comedic films that Guardiens of the Galaxy, Thor, Ragnorok and Shang-Chi get to be. The nature and scope of the story is so much bigger than that style of filmmaking would support. Brilliant film in my estimation. Amazing, brilliant film. Never thought the Eternals or the Celestials would ever make it to the movie screen, but that's why Kaz and Ryan were the right team to develop the idea and Chloé and her team were brilliant executing the idea.
I truly liked the movie. Definitely liked it more than Black Widow ( I had such high hopes for that movie).
Would love to see Thena scene and Gilgamesh also needed more screen time.
I sure hope he comes back somehow....Ajak too
Another key difference is that in the trailers Ajak explicitly says that the return of half of the population is what provided the necessary energy to trigger the Emergence. In the movie, she never mentions that kind of mechanics -- they cut that part, and now it feels like she is just sayig that the fact that humans managed to do something like that is part of what makes us special and, thus, worth saving.
While she doesn't say those exact words, the editing cuts from her saying humans brought everyone back to her reflection on how we love and create and feel etc., leading to the worth saving conclusion.
I need to rewatch this but I’m looking forward to more of the Eternals.
Same here!!
CHLOE, release the directors cut !
I wish they kept the boxing scene with Druig because him simply saying he can’t do it to Sersi was kind of weak and strange as if he didn’t care enough because he did not seem like he was unable to keep fighting with her as the scene implied
need more druig and makkari scenes. thats it
I enjoyed it. But they did ajak wrong. She’s a massive leader in the comics only riveled by Aeros. She gets dropped by ikaris? And Gilgamesh, a comic characters who’s brute strength rivals Thor’s get fucked by a worm of a tail? Then ikaris for some reason goes “ya fuck y’all” then back to “ok nevermind I die now” like huuuuh?
It was fucking awesome don’t get me wrong. The eternals were one of the “lesser known” heroes I wish they had on the big screen (still praying for sentry & Hyperion & please god let gladiator be shown in some Thor movie). But they got done dirty bruh.
Thing is, since Arishem has all of their memories stored in the forge he can always 'resurrect' them.
That’s what I thought as well. I think it would’ve been better to keep Ajak alive, introduce the idea of stopping the emergence, and have Icarus maybe team up with the Deviants only to end up betraying all of them altogether. Gilgamesh should’ve been kept alive. Killing Gilgamesh was a stupid idea. They should’ve had him and Thena fighting Kro at the end. That could’ve made for a bigger fight scene. If they had to kill Thena or Gilgamesh, then they could’ve took that opportunity then.
The thing that bothered me the most was Icarus realizing what he did was wrong after all the bullshit he pulled off. And Sersi, I love her, but girl- he left you after 5,000 years, only to find out he knew about the emergence all along, he KILLED your leader, allowed Gilgamesh to die, betrayed you, and had Sprite practically stab you. Oh, and he also had the intent on killing Druig… and you still had the audacity to place your forehead onto his?
Girl. I would’ve knocked him out and turned him into a tree too.
I mean they aren't really totally done away with, since they are synthetic and sersi was shown like a million copies of her in the world forge, and their memories are also in the world forge, so they can be resurrected easily. That aside, Salma Hayek said she has more MCU titles in her contract, idk if they are flashback scenes or more superhero stuff post resurrection though. Would be dope to see them back again on screen as their respective characters.

The ones who died can return-- minus their memories on Earth. This will, essentially, make them different characters than the ones we were introduced to in this movie.
I would have loved to have seen what the alternate endings could have been. As for how this ranks in the Marvel films, for me it is a solid entry behind Thor Ragnarok. It does something different and has a lot to take in story wise or visually which I enjoyed. The fights were not the best in the MCU but they were also far from the worst.
I loved eternals so much! All the characters were amazing and I wish we had more time to have gotten more information on all of the characters throughout history! I wish the movie had the thena/Angelina Jolie silk scene! I love Angelina Jolie and her character thena was amazing! I wish we could have seen more of her XD
uhm... a shield is just a shield... not some Miracle defense system...
I wonder if some of the other gods such as Loki are descendants of the Eternals with Loki having similar personality and powers to Sprite, Sersi with her transmutation abilities parallels to Doctor Strange. Also with Phastos and the hand movement technique that he uses to create his inventions are again similar to Doctor Strange where the hand expression movements to create spells is call Tutting that Jay Funk created and taught the actor. I am curious if Jay Funk was the trainer for Brian Tyree Henry in this film.
In the comics they sort of are. The main reason why the gods left earth was a decree from the Celestials.
@@joeparrigen4982 interesting.
This is not a deleted scene but they mention many times that they have lived in Athens (Greece) and many of them are inspired in Greek gods so I would like to watch them in this period
Yeah that’s in the comics mcu never really follows the comics
I want to see more from them!! Definitely on my top 5.
I don't understand why many critics and an awful lot of people, mostly MCU fans hate this movie. Honestly the movie is quite good . Not as good as No Way Home or Endgame but good.
I really enjoyed this movie as it was so different from others in the Marvel universe. I thought the chemistry and dynamic between all the characters was explored very well. The visuals and camera angles were shot beautifully and I felt the movie had a lot of heart and soul with a good balance of action and especially enjoyed the twists and turns the movie displayed. It was a great visual ride and have watched it several times now and keep seeing things I had not noticed before. I hope Marvel continues this trend with well told character stories as well balancing these films out with action scenes.
Just a quick FYI, round shields existed in many cultures looking before Cap's famous shield was made.
I really like the movie, it was amazing to see it in the cinema, and now again on DISNEY+. I never watch trailers because I don't want spoilers. It was very different from what I expected. I love the different concept of a group of Heroes who not only have flaws, but a real fall-out over how to handle it, and the fact that some got killed in their 1st movie (a little GOT vibe). Marvel succeeded again in presenting something different instead of telling stories again & again & again with only a little variation (yes I mean DC)
Eternals movie is so awesome of a movie. I love this movie a lot. Best marvel ever.
I know it pisses me off how most say it’s trash ?????
@@jimdanote1672 SAME HAHAAHAHA loved thr movie
nah
I can’t tell if you’re trolling
just to inform you, shields have been a part of history before roger was even born. So it makes no sense that roger goes back in Gupta period.
I would actually watch an extended edition of this movie but doubt marvel wants to go down that rabbit hole lol
Samee here haha
It was a good introduction to unravel the next to come 👍! Loved it
i really wish movies would add the deleted scenes! the deleted scenes always look so good!
in an interview lauren ridoff said that all of them filmed a scene with harry styles where they were awaken like the first scene of the film. I think that was suppose to be a alternate ending scene that would have showed all of them at the world forge which would also confirm that other versions of ajak & Gilgamesh are still alive
I feel like the scenes that should've been kept in are the scenes exploring the characters like Phastos and his kid talking on the Domo. Sprite and Makkari talking and Makkari explaining her love for humanity. And the scene with Sprite and Dane at the museum. Also, I wish they gave Kro some horns because he has Horns in the comics, and the horns would've been a cool nod.
The shield seen in Gupta empire (India) is a traditional war (defence) weapon and nothing related to Cap's shield. Alternatively, Cap's shield (as a weapon) may have been inspired by actual shield shown here...
Respectfully, either you are not aware of the existence of this actual shield or writing anything just for the sake of it.. 🙏
She probably didn’t know
Thanks for review Eternal ☺️☺️☺️
I would have loved to have seen 12 Eternals because that would be even more reminiscent of the majority of mythological pantheons.
It's always 12 major deities.
Even the legend of Atlantis mentions it.
It's even on the Major Arcana in Tarot.
I loved the externals. I hope Chloe continues with Eternals 2.
Seriously? Lot of debate about gupta empire soldiers wielding a shield? Shield is a very popular war instrument in India 🤷
I love the movie so much for the diversity and love the characters and the cast so much. Still have shocking moments. But I wished it was a 2 Part movie instead of all in 1 movie. There wasn't enough scenes for some of the eternals to shine. That's the saddest part. Some of them didn't even get to fight in the movie.
I really only wanted Ikarus to live tho. Rob Stark just keeps dying.
I think Ikarus didnt die, he go to the sun bcs he want to have time to be alone. Ikarus go to sun not for suicide, bcs its his home if i read the story. Sorry if im wrong but thats what i get from the movie.
@@Jannisigma i hope so but, I don't think they are that durable to withstand the sun. The penance of isolation does make sense though.
Ikaris = Superman
Thena = Wonder Woman
Makkari = Flash
Phastos = Cyborg's engineering + Green Lantern
Druig = professor X
Sprite = Loki
Ajak = Wolverine's healing
Kingo = Iron Man's projectile without suit
I'd say Thena is more like Psylocke than Wonder Woman, but idk much about DC. I just don't remember Wonder Woman being able to manifest all kinds of different weapons, whereas Psylocke can.
of course they cut the Mention of Spider-Man, thanks to Sony
Do you ever think that maybe the shield was just never recorded in history and stark just came up with the same idea 💡 lol
So many scrapped scenes. No wonder it felt... Chopped af.
I really liked this movie because it combines history with the story
#Eternals is way way way better than #AvengersEndgame.
My top 5 MCU MOVIES ARE
1. #TheWinterSoldier
2. #InfinityWar
3. #Eternals
4. #DoctorStrange
5. #TheIncredibleHulk
The silk one is so amazing😭
i didnt go to the cinema to watch this movie after reading what the critics said right after their privileged movie preview. Damn those critics who rated the movie a low down! they took away the opportunity of those who would have had otherwise watched it in full cinematic glory or would have skipped it for the lame and silly shangchi and the ten rings. Eternals is an epic and a masterpiece ! i enjoyed every moment of it, despite having ten new characters introduced in a single movie, it is like watching an Avenger Assembled movie! i am definitely looking forward to Eternal 2 and damn the critics whom i am going to trace them down and write them off completely , i am not going to miss it at the cinema the next time round!
Movie should have had more mentions or ties to the MCU universe then it did. Alone if you were not told this was a Marvel movie it would seem it like had nothing to do with it. Most of the references in trailers were not even used. They should have had cameos or flash back something to show they were around the last 13 or so movies but hiding in plain site. Beautiful movie, just feels out of place.
I watched Eternals after I watched Shang-Chi, to be honest I prefer Shang-Chi over Eternals, maybe because its more energetic while Eternals is calmer, both of the cast’s film are amazing especially Eternals, it isn’t an easy job to make a character stood out when there’re so many main characters in one place, they’re shining in their own respective ways (for me especially Richard Madden’s acting when Ikarus throwing Ajak and seeing how Ajak being killed by the deviant, was really 👏, I like the complexity of his character the most), the proportion of screen time of each Eternals’s characters were equals, we could understand the story easily, but for me there’s something missing from Eternals, I felt the story were being rushed.
It’s like Shang-Chi really fit to be a standalone film while Eternals more fit to be a tv series, like WandaVision and Loki, maybe I get used to watch each of personal character until they merge together, like in the Avanger, which I saw the background story of Captain America, Ironman, and Thor first and then watched them together in one film.
the original deviant designs are literally nightmare fuel!!!!!
I loved the Eternals movie.
This was a huge stretch… cap never went back in time to get the idea for the shield ! 😂, Howard stark made a shield, many shields in history were circular… or even could have just studied ancient texts or books.. a shield is just common sense !
Wish they made this into a series like Wandavision instead a film to flesh out more of the characters & story without it feeling rushed or packed
These marvel films need to be 3 hours long with a break in the middle…..so much gets cut out I feel they only do it for timing, I say make our enjoyment last longer 👍🏼😉
I loved the Eternals - so many characters to use in future stories, and all of them with lives spanning centuries, each with scope for so many life experiences and interactions. The film packed much more emotional heft than many Marvel films and it deserved a better reception from fans and general cinema goers than it got. I think history will treat it better than the critics did upon release.
This movie is so cool and fun to watch. I really love rewatching it. Druig is so handsome!
Two things disappointed me... Salma Hayek's pitifully small contribution and not nearly enough Thena fight scenes.
Thena is my favourite eternal so I agree with that. I also agree with Salma Hayek having such a small role. But, since Eternals are synthetic life forms created by Arishem (and Salma Hayek is a very well-known and talented actress) I doubt she's gone for good.
There are no dots to connect when it comes to that Shield remember over a millennium Warriors and soldiers carry Shields and a lot of them you Shields as their main weapon those soldiers were called paladins
Has anybody watched till after the credits because there’s a clip at the end that shows a hint into the next movie a lot of Mabel movies have it
Yes, the end credits were a great setup for a sequel, it also introduced the brother of Thanos, eros
Why dont they make extended version. That will be great
I love how they reference Batman and Superman
IKAROS WAS THE BEST AND MOST STRONG ETERNAL!!! I LOVE IKAROS AND THOR...THE 2 STRONGEST OF MCU!!!
Marvel at Sprite picking her nose at 5:32
Amazing video 👍
I hope they get a series
If you know the history of India, you may not wonder about the stupid shield.
I liked it too! I love how so many myths and legends can be traced back to them throughout human history.
my favourite scene was when arishem appears in the sky and people start running, that just looked like the world could have ended just then
It's sad they cut that scene out, seems more important than that Bollywood dance could have taken that out instead, oh well
Maybe captain america went back in time to give them idea of the shield…… 🤣🤣🤣🤣. All circular shields look like that. No need for a time heist to grasp that concept.
I would of love all deleted scenes be added back they were some great scene cut
So I was right all along?!
I never realized they were grouped as thinkers and fighters.
maybe some of these post credit scenes can be used in other Marvel films and maybe some of the deleted scenes can be reworked into a Eternals sequel or a Eternals special edition.
Really good movie. I suspect it will be extremely underrated.
I loved the movie, not just for the Girrrl powwwer and the diversity without stereotypes, but the acting ! the action! likable, nuanced characters! But the best part for me was the underlying story/message. I am really looking forward to the next one, especially with my favorite Harry S.
While I was watching this movie all I could think about was the deleted scenes and script revisions
Every time I saw that celestial leader he felt like a boss I. Thought he was gonna squish them when he appeared I got terrified
So by ranking now.. I enjoyed the fight sequence and overall visual story telling of Shang-Chi first, then Eternals next..
Infinix War and Endgame were really amazing, but these ones had a better fight sequence for a SUPER Hero movie..
I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I already know a few of them die which REALLY surprised me because aren’t they like main characters?? Thought they’d be part of marvel longer
Great video, Jan!!! Too bad this movie looks like a recap of an entire season of a series. Too ambitious for its own good...
Grown up ppl and the entire film industry went infantile...
Since I am not fimilar with the externals, I believe keeping the silk scene would really helped.
When they show the deviants in the old days, there were deviants with wings, different shapes etc. I don't understand why in the modern day that it requires the big deviant to grant the other evolved forms by transferring eternals' powers?
I wish there would have been more Scenes with druig and makari
I would've loved to see the boxing scene
SPOILER WARNING
I also noticed that the trailer has been edited so that it seems that Ajak is alive the whole time! I was shocked to see her death so soon :')
the scene where Sprite makes the fireworks in the sky - ive seen it in the trailers and also quickly in this video - was that in the actual movie? I didnt catch if it was
It was in the movie. She utilized the fireworks while telling a story. I belive it was during their time in Babylon.
@@eme.261 thank you! I’m going to watch again soon :)
Few scenes from Eternals felt like MAN OF STEEL
4:43 I agree with this I liked the movie, the plot is really good but they couldn’t really show characters personalities and it’s hard to understand why they did what they did(which I wouldn’t say since spoilers)
I wish to know more about the personality of the characters and their power limit
Jesus those creature designs were fantastic. Another missed opportunity.
I loved ETERNALS!!! It is the best if the MCU films and felt very mature
Same. Sadly, it's the maturity and measured pacing that led to many determining it was boring. There are many who lack the necessary focus and maturity which would have allowed them to appreciate this beautiful addition to the MCU.
