My favorite line of the movie was when Ikaris told thena “you’ve never fought me” and thena replies without missing a beat “but I’ve always wanted to” I didn’t expect that response and the delivery was flawless
Best line of film!!!!
Yeah that line stuck out to me too! That when I knew it was about to go down!😅
Loved it too.
Same!
1000000000%
I actually liked the references to ancient mythology. It sounds right that ancient civilisations would look at Thena and over the years a whole mythology spans from that. That’s how mythology works, they’re not just made up stories, they originated from somewhere
Me too! I love exploring where mythologies come from in fiction. I wish they did that more in the Eternals.
kirby based his characters on ideas from the book "chariots of the gods" which was my generations "ancient astronauts" but without the bird hairdo. that book was huuuuuge, back in the day, along with "worlds in collision" and "pyramid power" and books on lemuria and atlantis. all poorly executed, i liked "we were not the first" as a better book, and some newer works by graham hancock. kkrby was clearly inspired to do his own version. the best book on this is called "hamlets mill" . ancient myths being ways to transmit astronomical knowledge.
Richard Madden was fantastic in the moment where he considers killing Sersi. You could really see him struggle between love and his duty/beliefs. Loved the way his eye beams flickered. But his solar suicide felt shoehorned and not really earned.
Would have been better for him to just fly off to brood in space until the sequel
I swear if they do some sort of "All Star Superman" thing in a sequel. That's going to be too much of a rip.
I get his suicide. He feels he doesn't deserve to live because he willingly, yet reluctantly, defied Arishem. He had complete faith in Arishem, but he helped in the death of a celestial.
@@ghost245353 You think he died?
Flying too close to the sun is the only way for a guy named Icarus to go out. You must be unfamiliar with the mythology if you thought that was shoehorned.
@@kennethmays8059 Are you replying to me? If so, I am very well aware of Icarus in mythology, thanks Kenny.
Gilgamesh didn't say that Kingo was like Batman, he said that his butler was like Alferd... Like a butler who does things for a superhero and know his secret. So is spot on the metaphor
what?.. I just saw the movie tonight, and I clearly remember someone mentioning batman in the movie.. seriously am I crazy or what
@@tenerife_sea someone did mention Batman, it wasn’t Gilgamesh.
why did grace miss this? weird. it wasnt the banter, it was the professional role. like Jarvis with tony stark in the comics.
@@tenerife_sea The did mention Batman, but the reference was “He’s like Batman’s Alfred”, not “He’s like Batman.”
Grace missed alot of things I feel, I think she just rants now to fill these 30min videos to make more ad revenue
I didn’t interpret them as being literal “robots”. The celestials are the creators of universes so they are probably able to make sentient beings from real flesh and bones, but have them be “robotlike” as in they have a preprogrammed purpose. So I don’t think Phastos could “open someone up” from the Eternals.
Maybe I missed something, but I never interpreted it as them being made from technology.
Also, it was established that the Celestials could make mistakes (ie deviants). Their designs weren't flawless (hence emotional Eternals).
I mean they always have been artificial beings but not mechanical so I don’t think they can be put in the same category as Ultron or Vision. They seem to be more akin to comic Adam Warlock in terms of biology.
Yeah exactly. I don't think they were robots at all. I imagine they were created as humans were too
@Kelvin Magnus The host is a comics expert and she certainly knows the original lore - but a lot of that was changed for the movie. But yes, I read it more as they were genetically manufactured beings, not robots, but the way they were shown in the reveal made it almost look mechanical, so that was confusing.
I definitely agree with everything you’ve said here but I am confused as to why the movie showed them as half-finished robot looking beings at one point. I don’t think they’re legit robots though so idk what the movie was trying to do there
I really loved that they centered on Sersi; she was seen as the most underestimated, the most passive, and yet had the most impactful and likely powerful ability of all the Eternals. It was really interesting to see her struggle between duty and the care she had developed for humans.
Good point I def agree!
Absolutely! She loved humanity the most and was the most deserving of becoming the Eternals' new "leader".
I liked Sersi's personality and the way Gemma Chan acted in the Babylon flashback, she seemed more empathetic to humanity in the flashbacks, I guess she became weary over the centuries and due to a lack of purpose.
So glad Gemma Chan got a better opportunity in the MCU after Captain Marvel
A farmers job is to deliver the meat...
She failed at her job. 😔
They were all PASSIVE. She was so bland... the main character with nothing! Blah! She was dry! Of course you thought it was good!
He's a butler to a superhero. Hence Alfred. Don't over analyze, it's not that deep 🤦♂️
No, he's a motherfucking valet!
"A butler is the chief manservant of a house and supervises other servants whereas a valet is a personal male attendant of a man responsible for his clothes and appearance"
Exactly if she can't have a clear understanding of the Alfred comparison then it makes her opinions so invalid
The Alfred line was pretty obvious. The older indian guy is basically Kingo's butler. You must have misunderstood that line.
I really loved Ikaris as an antagonist- a lonely and detached being who could never really connect to humanity in the same way as the other Eternals because of what he knew. He was a soldier on a mission, who felt he sacrificed too much to go back. It was a fascinating direction to take the character.
I kinda disagree. The retconning of the story made him a villain. Had they not retcon the story no one would have thought of him as a villain even after his action because of the key element of whst this movie is supposed to be: The Eternals are eternal.
Chloe made them immortal and ruin that plot entirely
@@joweydelanota7421 That's just a change from the comics, not a retcon of the story. Characters change from the comics all the time.
right! When Sersi in the beginning said, "It's beautiful isn't it." He says, "I'm Ikaris". He was very detached and at first, I thought it was bad acting but I understand it now. Same with Thena, she was a very unique character.
Of course the straight white male had to be the villain.
But then again the usual team villain, Druig is also a straight white male.
@@richierich7229 Of course somebody in the comments had to make it about that. Predictable.
I feel like I'm crazy because I found Eternals to be one of the most fascinating MCU movies to date. I LOVED the mythology and the characters and the visuals and the worldbuilding. I loved its ambition and how it tried to take the genre seriously. I think the religious and mythical elements (which I personally found to be the best thing about the movie) are also what will turn off a lot of people. It felt like a hybrid between Cloud Atlas, Darren Aronofsky's Noah and the Justice League. I do think it would have worked better as a two-part movie or a Disney Plus miniseries, but this movie is much, MUCH better than critics and some audience members are giving it credit for.
Or introduce most of them in a Disney+ series and then can leave the movie for the big events. Exposition could have been reduced, allowing for better pacing for the movie
I absolutely agree with you!!!
Totally agree with u
I agree with you, I liked Eternals even more than Shang Chi, and I loved Shang Chi!
@@sya I’m glad you liked the movie! Hello from New York! I have the same opinion as you pretty much.
LOVED the ending scene when arishem comes out of the clouds … the scale of him is so grand!!
"I will return with judgment." Then disappears thru a black wormhole.
What if Galactus showed up at the same time?
@@djoetma that’s who I originally thought it was lol
@@SpaceViking2000 Apparently they have a lot to do with each other (did some Fandom reading). So that Eternals Fantastic 4 crossover will probably happen...
Absolutely loved Makkari, easily my favourite character. She was a fun and cheeky character but was able to bring the heat too. Best speedster VFX I've seen in my opinion.
Usually I agree with critics, but this movie was AMAZING… it has some flaws , however not to a degree of low 50s…. Like the audience reaction (as of now) an 86 is an amazing score to represent how powerful the movie is
It around 250 votes now.. That's nothing.. It will get lower.. My guess is around 70%.. Maybe even lower
Because it's from The mcu. Seriously, get some taste.
@@nelly-gu2qq it's kinda irrelevant though most of the votes are reactions against the critics score. I think the thing people don't really understand is that with movies like this the critics opinion is kinda irrelevant and the only reason people are interested in what they say is because the want to hear someone praise a movie they like or they think they will like. In reality MCU movies are too big to fail at this point it would take a continuous pattern of failure stretching out years even cause a dent in the MCU
Please watch the movie, seriously I made this comment becauseI though that I was going to hate this movie… However, it was a pleasant surprise… My point is, that this is not worse than Dark World for example… at the end (In Costa Rica) everyone at our theater was clapping so… it depends on taste
@@javierecheverria838 I already saw it.. It's mediocre.. Nothing more
My favorite part of the movie was when Druig finally shuts up/knocks Sprite out 😂 such relief 😂
I know, that was my favorite part too
My favorite part is when Arishem appears on Earth
@@oatmeal7818 me too
It was timely. All that whining.
@@oatmeal7818 When I first saw that scene, I kept yelling to myself. WHERE’S THE NEAREST CAVE LOL.
It’s not inappropriate, Sprite has over 7000 years old for God sake, let’s be adults here.
I see where your coming from, but some of the things Sprite did didn’t make her seem very adult. Like when they went back to Sersi’s apartment, Sprites “room” was very childish. I would’ve appreciated the analogy/aspect of the character, if they’d better shown it in the flashbacks, or leading up to that scene.
Critics don’t know what they’re talking about when it comes to this movie, they all sound ridiculous because this movie was so good man, the whole theater was captivated.
I really liked how, at times, the movie went in a more cosmic horror style using the Celestials. The scale of them, and Tiamut emerging from the ocean with a muffled scream as Sersi is turning him into stone, was very impressive. The ending with humankind seeing for the first time a Celestial in the sky was also both terrifying and impressive. I think there is a lot of potential with future Eternals stories if they lean into that, especially if they work on more humour to balance the horror. The movie isn't perfect, still enjoyable imo, but is shaking things up story-wise for the MCU. The Emergence will be referenced in future projects for sure.
I thought she turned him into ice
I agree that I liked the visual of Tiamut emerging - even if it would totally have wrecked earth in reality. I don't care, it was stunning.
@@MariaVosa It's funny because Tiamut emerging wrecked the ocean, which case in point probably pisses Namor off, which leads to Wakanda Forever, Atlantis vs Wakanda.
I was in shock when we saw him in the sky like bruuuhhhh
@@tyrdunbar Marble.
I genuinely don't understand why critics keep saying it doesn't feel like an MCU movie... It literally does. You have the constant humor and jokes to break the tension, you have the big third act cgi fest, you have the "surprise villain," you have the random characters that are there just to set up future movies- everything about this was trademark MCU.
I’m in total agreement with you
Cuties is 88% for critics, satan's favorite movie.
No it doesn't. It literally feels like Snyder made a film of something he doesn't understand at all.
I feel like the reason it didn’t feel like a typical MCU movie was because most of it felt like an expose. However, I feel like the expose had to be done because the Eternals aren’t the most known group of characters that have been portrayed in the MCU. GotG is close but the writing in those comics were way more in depth then the Eternals has ever been.
Nearly every single superhero film ends with a third act cgi fest. Superhuman abilities can’t exactly be realized using practical effects.
I liked how a lot of them found their own ways to "cheat" the ways they were told to live their lives. Sersi might not have interfered in wars or big conflicts but she did interfere in protecting the lives of those immediately close to her. Druig thought he was doing a service to those people by removing them from all conflict. I don't know I just thought it was cool how some characters decided to not interfere in their own way.
Full disclosure I like the MCU films but I really don’t care for the action in them (I don’t need action to enjoy a film). But The Eternals is easily the my favorite MCU film because the film has a lot of story to it. The Eternals is poetic and beautiful.
At the end of the day these are comic book movies. Saying you dont care for action in these movies is liking saying you watch a horror movie but dont care for scary stuff. 🤷♂️
😒
Eternals is the best marvel movie. Breath taking and gorgeous
@@ramencurry6672
*It is definitely the most gorgeous movie to ever come out of Marvel, I was in awe* 👏🏻
I love how they filmed the speedster Makkiri, DC needs to take notes. They really HATED on Marvel speaking of the "critics," I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and I loved the different battle styles.
It's interesting cuz to me the Peter pan reference felt one of the more natural Disney references in all of the MCU. Definitely more natural to me than the Pinocchio reference in Ultron where that one to me made me realize "oh yeah Marvel is owned by Disney" but this Peter Pan one felt so much more natural that I was surprised it didn't work for some.
the panel in the comic where it's revealed is such a delight. i believe it was in Gaiman's run
Peter Pan and Pinoccio are no Disney IP originally.
I was amazed when Makkari jumped over Ikaris’s laser beams, it was beautiful!!
Seeing superspeed in real time is much more awesome than dragged out slowmo scenes
@@ayudan24688 agreed. Nor saying the slow mo is bad? But I prefer it the other way
The actress that played her was amazing
I don’t understand the hate. Eternals would fit well in the 70-79% score. The 50% is just unrealistic
I disagree, I think 50% is good. The movie was all over the place and was poorly explained
I don't understand it either... It's like ppl are looking for anything to criticize... And when they find it, they over exaggerate the issue
Nah 50% fits right. If you are honest with yourself you would admit that if this movie was unrelated to Marvel and had no references to the Marvel universe it would even rate in the 20%-30%s
48% now
I don't even look at rotten tomatoes scores. There have been movies that are good with a low RT score.
Gilgamesh asked Karun who he was and he told him he was “Kingo’s valet” or personal male attendant. To which Gilgamesh said “like Alfred”. He didn’t compare Kingo to Batman at all. But for those of us who have been watching you for years Grace, we understand how you as Queen of the Batman Stans would have missed that and took the reference personal.
But isn’t the inference Kingon is comparing himself to Batman? I think Grace’s point stands.
@@DannyBoydPhoto simpin ain’t easy
@@daynejoseph2366 that’s extremely dramatic, lol. Agreeing with someone is showing excessive emotion? Ok. I’m out of this conversation. Whack.
I wouldn’t go that harsh but yeah, I agree. I think if we just took it at face value, most people got the point Gilgamesh was trying to make with the Alfred line. We’re kind of just nitpicking about the quality of the comment at this point and I don’t think it’s that much of a big deal.
@@joeferrarini2851 what I do think is kind of a big deal though is Grace’s point on metaphors and how if we, as the audience, are suppose to accept the reality the film is creating, too many of the metaphors given don’t even work. On top of this, bringing in the DC franchise is suggesting what exactly? Getting their own parent company, Disney, characterization of Tinker Bell was even off. If we are to believe these ETERNALS are regal superior intelligent beings surviving thousands of years, how is it they’re misinterpreting modern literature so easily? I think it’s fair that if the strength of the film is suppose to be Marvel going high brow with Zhou, did Zhou reveal to us high brow was an overstatement?
I have to tell you Grace, from myself to everyone else that’s seen this movie, a LOT of people liked it. I don’t know what happened to cause a rift with critics and moviegoers on this one, but a bunch of the fans like it.
Nothing "happened", critics came to their senses a little 😉
I'm a huge MCU fan and this film didnt do it for me. 5/10
I’m bigger mic fan and it definitely did it for me
@@RioAntonio1 bigger? How much do you weigh?
@@will88TFs4Life Same. This is the first recent MCU movie to not do it for me since Captain Marvel.
Although I can acknowledge the flaws in the movie (some pacing issues in the beginning and a particular part of the final battle), I really enjoyed Eternals. I can see why it has such a mixed reception, but as someone who loves history, myths, gods and creation (I'm talking universe origins and other space stuff), the movie kept me hooked the entire way through. The Celestial stuff in particular were amaaaazing for me, and I just kept wanting more.
The one thing I wished they focused more on was the similarities between the Eternals and the Deviants. Deviants hunted life that threatened humans, and eventually began to attack humanity. Enter the Eternals who are now hunting the Deviants. They're essentially the same and serve the same purpose, except the Deviants evolved because they're organic beings. The Eternals are literally just upgraded Deviants, and it would've been awesome to see them come to that realisation themselves, and make that part of their motivation to challenge the Celestials.
well said. Focusing more on that would've made the movies miles better and deep
Patience, we got at least another film coming. They already set that up.
@@BenFrankarts Nope...
I agree but then again, we weren’t meant to sympathize with the deviants
@@justkiddin1980 you can deny it if you want, but they'll be back lol. cope. you didn't like it, but others did. can't wait to see the resurrection process, Ikaris have a family, the civil war. there's lots to explore, and i'm sure they'll have Chloé back eventually too.
Ok, finally saw the movie and I gotta say- I really dont understand the low scores and reviews its gotten. I LOVED eternals. The tone was so different from the rest of the MCU which offered more sophistication and more diversity. Something else has to be afoot here. This is actually (and get ready for it) one of my favorite MCU movies.
Grace: Why create a robot with empathy?
Also Grace: Watches every episode of a witch in love with a robot at 3am.
I- the shade
She was specifically saying why make a robot that’s supposed to destroy planets have empathy
@@benjihudson2768 that’s the flaw in celestial design, similar to what happened when Celestials created Deviants
This is one of the first mcu movies I’ve seen where the critics hate it and the audience loves it
Wouldn't really say they love it... But they love more as the critics.. To me it's mediocre
@@haridaspalleeri6765 lol it only has 250 votes... Wait for the final score.. Movies usually have 10.000+ reviews from audiences
So Far, Rotten Tomato Critics 51% Audience 86%. Never seen the MCU movie had this huge gap between the critics and the audience rating
@@haridaspalleeri6765 lol I don't care about the critics.. I am saying that 250+votes from audience is nothing.. And that the final score can be a lot different 🤷♀️
@@haridaspalleeri6765 lol said that people love it more than the critics.. I never said I cared about their opinion moron
Personally I really liked the break from the usual formula. Some of my friends who are casual viewers had said before that they would rank Shang Chi very lowly because it is to similar to many other MCU storylines.
Shang Chi is way better than the Eternals. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. The few who say they would rate a film low because they think the storyline is similar. Shang Chi’s storyline is way different than any other MCU film while Eternals is just a poor man’s Guardians of the Galaxy without the character or fun.
@@stellarhyme3 The Shang Chi story has been done a million times already what are you talking about.
THIS! Eternals was way better than Shang chi and black widow because of that
I'm not even gonna lie, this movie is sooo underrated. The characters are already given soo much depth, and i do care to see them all return in the future.
The unanswered questions, along with my caring for the characters makes me want a sequel for sure!
Druig, Makkari and Sersi are my faves.
I think it will get even better with rewatches and also future instalments. This film laid so much groundwork for the future. After a few sequels in the MCU watching this again will be even more pleasurable. I think Feige is playing the long game.
I loved Makkari but didn’t like Druig at all and couldn’t understand why she cared for him so much! Though when she went apeshit over his perceived death and started beating on Ikkaris, it was glorious to see.
my thoughts exactly! i’m glad the end of the film sets up sequel i’m actually excited to see where marvel and kevin feige are gonna take these characters.
Depth? WTF are you on about? You couldnt even get into any of their depths because there was no time. They were card board characters passive in this movie... Caring for the characters>? Who? Dork! Like you guys are jokes! The movie was trash! Cersei got stabbed by the horrid actress playin Sprite. ANd then oh well all is forgiven. Sprites character depth was so shallow, and not enough time. I want to be human, so I stab you. then all is forgiven. The other guy has a cult in the amazon rainforest. So likeable. The depth. They were shallow, passive trash characters. You have no idea what you are talking about! Trash trash trash! You dont know anything about Kirby who made the original comics. AT ALL! trash!
As someone who came from a very religious background I loved their discussion about free will and going against their gods. I've struggled with so much of the same and ended up connecting so much with this movie.
Thena, Makkari, Druig, Gilgamesh and Phastos, we're all my favorites!
One of the top 3 movies of the year for me alongside Dune and Shang Chi👌
10:55
"I've never seen anyone have a problem with their eye beams before."
Cyclops: Am I a joke to you?
That's what I was thinking when she said that! He can't even take his glasses off or he'll destroy everything he looks at. Thank you for pointing it out.
Cyclops was my first thought too. 🤣
I just finished watching Eternals. It was my most anticipated movie of this year and it didn’t disappoint. I was truly invested in the story and I wanted more. Time flew by and now I can’t wait to watch it again. Hoping that we’ll see them again in another movie soon
Eternals got better after watching multiple times. You pick up things missed from first viewing. It’s actually really good. I can’t wait to see what will become of this group in the future of the MCU.
This was one of the most enjoyable MCU films I've watched. It wasn't the best, but the visuals, music, location, characters, acting...it was all so enjoyable and will make rewatching it spectacular as well.
I agree . surprised from the reviews . This was enjoyable and the fight actions was perfect . And to me this is unexpected movie . We don't know who lives till the end . You love them . It was better than endgame to me .the fights better . Endgame was baddddd
its so funny seeing MCU fans call rotten tomatoes a stupid and inaccurate way to review a film but always use Rotten Tomatoes to shit on DC movies
This!
I know right. So bias.
Loved the movie, high 7/10.
(26:23) I found it odd accusing/blaming Chloe Zhao for introducing the Greek Mythology allegory within the MCU when it’s written into the fictional history of these characters in the comics by Jack Kirby, while simultaneously referencing past comic story lines of these characters.
Seems like selective perception for the sake of a joke, “what do you have against Ancient Greece, Chloe Zhao.”
She has nothing against Ancient Greece. Jack Kirby wrote it, and she honoured the comics in some way.
thats because Grace never read those comics. She also thinks Eternals are robots and didn't understand the whole sacrifice they made at the end by saving earth!
just came out of the theatre a few hours ago and if i’m being honest the movie got a 4.5/5 on letterboxd for me. there’s something refreshing and exciting about the direction that they took for these new bunch of superheroes. i love it to be honest.
Totally agree!
definitely agree!
My cinema wouldn’t stop talking during the credits! It seemed like everyone really liked it
Loved Eternals. Just watched it 3 hours ago. Absolutely loved it. Every scene was amazing to me. Definitely a 8.5-9/10 for me. I do understand why not everyone will have the same experience, that's why it's very important to go see it for yourself.
8-9/10? The hell u on. It's barely a 1/10 movie.
@@deusmachinima1189 Agreed. Not that good. I'd give it like a 3 or 4!
@@NasukaStar I agree it's never above a 3 and would never in a million years give it a 8 or 9 definitely a poor movie
Them being the reason for so many myths and legends makes sense. All of their names are close or exactly the names of heros from myth. I'd imagine that's what Jack Kirby based the characters on when he created them. Like why is that a criticism?!
That was the part I was the most excited for the movie but I was so underwhelmed seeing they didn't take time to explain this deeply. They could've point out how all the different deities in different cultures relate to the same beings that were the eternals and that the demons and other mythical creatures ennemies of gods were all deviants
@@Simon-it3ok I get that, I was excited about it too. I just found it weird that she didn't seem to like the little bit they did put in.
Absolutely loved this movie my crowd seemed really into it. I can see why others don’t care for it, but I think having a slightly divisive film is good for a fandom discourse, it keeps us on our toes! I would put this as the MCU version of a “cerebral sci fi/fantasy” which is also not as popular or profitable. But they made a movie for me at least!
This movie was more of a drama than an action film. Interesting take though.
I felt the same. It was awesome.
I thought it was awesome too lol probably a top 10 for me in the mcu maybe
Sheep crowd
I just hope marvel doesn’t abandon the characters bc they weren’t as profitable as other MCU movies. I adored this movie. Top 5! ⭐️
Eros showing up like "I'm here to talk about the 1 direction initiative"
I absolutely loved this movie. It's an 8 - 9 for me. I'll be seeing it again. Pacing issues at times but when it got going, it was so damn good. Actions, emotions, it had it all for me.
Why support race and gender changed characters?
Marvel Schill
I enjoyed it as well. It was so different from the traditional MCU films which was what I was hoping for. I loved the mythology and the commentary on humanity. I would definitely go see it again.
agree
Kirby intentionally based these characters on Myths and changed the spelling to rework where the myth came from. That was not Chloe.
The arrival of that celestial in the end... Damn... It was bone chilling.. And then he took them away and transported.. I had chills.
I was so upset that we finally had a Mexican superhero( super heroine even better) in the MCU with Ajak
only for her to be killed in the beginning 🙄Also I get they were basically just cosmic babysitters but I wish all Eternals were trained or had combat based powers( for example I love how they utilized Sersi in the Amazon fight)
They all do have offensive power. Even Sprite's illusions cause confusion and misdirection as well as means of escape.
DC has Blue Beatle he is mexican
Ajak will return. That’s what makes Eternals unique. They don’t really die. They can also change their sexes. In the comics, Ajak was a Latina female in her original first form.
We also have America Chavez now too.
"Kingo had his biggest discharge" definitely need context for that haha
I can’t wait to see the audience score. I was worried going in because of the critics score. But if these are the “negatives” that critics are pushing then it just seems like nitpicking. Our theater was clapping at the end, laughing at the jokes throughout, and “damnnnnn” at the action scenes. And freaking out during the end credits. I hope the audience is smarter than some of the critics.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Same! Our theater was loving it
Same at our theater which was sold out
I think this is gonna turn out well for Marvel.
Same at our theater. People loved it
Late to the party but Eternals is one of my favourite Marvel movies ever. It feels real, reflective of the real world and the characters are given real choice. All of them have their own autonomy on how they act as would be seen in complex moral issues displayed here. This makes the world expand and reflects the tone of, what I hope to be, the future of the MCU. Really showing types of people from all over the world and what we really see. It feels slick and luxurious, crafted with care. I am worries for the backlash and that it will delay future diversity and risk taking going forward. So many people have wanted to see themselves on screen and we have been forced to either fabricate what we wish was us or find fragments of ourselves in other characters. All in all, love this movie
I'm so interested to watch this review cause I just finished watching it and I loved it. It was so different and grand, I liked how all of these "gods" were incredibly flawed in their own ways, and the different types of relationships between the Eternals were so well portrayed. I think this is one of my favorite marvel movies tbh. Don't know what everyone else was expecting but this is all I could ask from an Eternals movie.
They each had such distinct personalities and motivations. It was beautiful to watch.
I totally agree. I don't understand the criticism. I absolutely loved this movie.
Kingo really said "I don't wanna fight" and he dipped... ngl it was a waste of a good character
Kumil got roided up for nothing.
Kingo: My Job here is done
Eternals: But you didn't do anyth-
Kingo: *Leaves*
I actually appreciated that, as it showed how even the Eternals themselves were divided. It made me feel like each Eternals truly had their own identity and beliefs.
I kind of liked though that in the end it was for the most part the "smart" team that had to step in and save humanity.
@@jking4973 Yeah. And I dont think that Kingo bailing was because he doesnt care about humanity..its just how do you go against your creator? Imagine if you're a christian and god came down to earth and said "Hey, this place is full of sin and Im gonna pull a Noah's Ark 2.0 and wipe out the earth"..like do you try and save people even if that goes against god's will knowing the wrath you may face?
I loved Eternals! For me 8/10 or maybe even more 🤔. I can't wait to see it again.
*I absolutely loved Thena, Ikaris, Kingo and Makkari. Eternals really was such an enjoyment to watch, I was in awe the entire time. I wanted a big final action scene but I felt like we never got it, still I can't wait for Eternals 2* 👏🏻❤
Everyone in my crowd LOVED IT. My boyfriend, a non-mcu fan, LOVED IT and he thinks it's one of the best films he's ever seen in the last 10 years. It meant a lot to me because we've been watching mcu content and he never got into but until now. He can't wait to see them again and neither can I!!!
Movie was trash. Period! Everyone in the crowd loved it? Oh you took a poll? Dork. It was trash. Period! You dont know Kirby!
@@lalareal180 um ok?
@@lalareal180 if you didn't like it that's fine, but there are also people that LOVED it. Period. Also, I just wanted a great movie, not a 100% faithful adaptation of Kirby's Eternals, none of the MCU films are 100% adaptation of the comics. Also yes we all loved it, bcz it was a small theater of around 70 ppl bcz it was a luxurious screening, we overheard people talked about how awesome it was. Dork.
I just got out of the theater and honestly loved it felt like an eternals comic and I happen to like the eternals haha
this movie was so good and great until the final act (where the battle on the island) when all the dialogue, decision and plot suddenly become so stupid and not natural at all
@@vijaz5559 how so? 🤔
@@natts i don't know how to explain it. the way the last battle commence is just dissapointing. the deviants are just a bothersome in the end and didn't kill anyone, basically becomes no threat and don't affect the ending much. ikaris is somehow weaker and not strong enough to deflect phastos weapons. and everyone on the final battle basically survives without casualty and just wins. i just.... don't know. even other marvel movies are more satisfying in the ending than this.
the build up was so great and the characters conflict is very intriguing. the deviants have their own mind, their own fear and feel the need to revenge their kind. but the ending doesn't live up to all of those build up.
@@vijaz5559 mmmmm the action was good everything else i’ll give you ig
@@vijaz5559 did you even watch the film? In the final conflict, there is only one powerful deviant (Kro, the one that learnt to talk after gaining more powers earlier in the film), and it ended up being killed by Thena, having killed two of the Eternals earlier on, with her turning the tables at the last second.
Ikaris wasn't weaker, it's just he had never fought other Eternals before. I agree that we could have seen more of Tiamut, the new celestial that was emerging, to raise the stakes, but that's a small quibble really.
MCU fans: it HURTS to be defensive, argh!!!
Star Wars and DC fans: first time hum?
Yes, luckily we know that the MCU is bland and mediocre anyway 🍻
I enjoyed it more than Shang Chi, it definitely was a different change of pace and seemed disconnected from the MCU and I feel that ended up being beneficial in the end
Haha "kingo had his biggest discharge!" 🤣 Love it
Loved Eternals! Every comic book movie has areas for improvment. So take it easy.. but this legit had fantastic human moments. Really good. Go see it. Genuinely enjoyable.
Ikr? Everyone is soo nit-picky. Movie was cool and different, after over 10 years of the same formula. Nice to see something fresh. Loved tying into myths and legends. Definitely seeing it in theaters again
For me its kinda bland.
@@P1V0TDude too many characters to get emotionally invested in
@@P1V0TDude not nitpicky, they've better taste.
@@P1V0TDude I am not nit-picky, when I criticize things like flat characters, lack of motivation, shitty villain and way way wayyyyyy too much exposition. No one has a problem with a bad looking cgi shot, but this problems are just tremendous.
In the comics Sprite inspires the Peter Pan creator with an illusion thus the reference
The way I laughed with the" Kevin feige the celestial" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just watched the movie, it blew me away. And the third act was SPECTACULAR imo, each Eternal got their time to shine and the ending is just crazy. Can’t wait to see what Repercussions this movie’s events will have for the future of the MCU
Oh I’m sure Tiamut damaged the earth. I can’t wait to see what happens with that.
Lauren Ridloff’s Makkari was Amazing!! By far my favorite character, the scenes with her were so amazing
They really were favorite example of super speed
I had great time watching this. After seeing the movie it’s obvious that it doesn’t deserve the RT score it has. I loved the chemistry between Makkari and Druig! Gave me little butterflies in my tummy. Druig was exceptional all around.
Pity they weren't the leads.
I loved them so much, totally understand about the butterflies, such natural intimacy and chemistry.😭
Druig. The goth Eternal. Lol. I liked his personality.
Jon Snow to Sersi: “So after all that, you still can’t change me into a giraffe.” hahahaha😂 🤣
Tbh, I had realllyyyyy low expectations. And because of that, I had a good time. It really doesn't deserve the lowest tomato scores. I think Eternals is Doctor Strange level of entertainment
I found it weird how underpowered the Eternals were. I mean it helped make them more relatable and heightened the stakes but still. There were a surprisingly low number of offensive powers in comparison to defensive powers in the Eternals. Like some of them had no chance to kill deviants but themselves but again this made that Ikaris twist more suspenseful. It reminded me of the boys with homelander or evil superman which I love.
I cant believe no one has mentioned that in a video yet or commented it!!! Like legit they were all underpowered to the point i feel like the avengers would destroy the eternals in a straight up fight! You got Hulk 100x stronger then the strongest eternal!.. iron man whos lazers did way more damage then ikiris eye laser! Fastow , no better then tony stark (yea he can make it out of nothing apparently, but i mean he didn't exactly make or come up with anything super extraordinary) Thena the best warrior probably would have lost to hella thors sister js, Sprite got nothing on strange, ikiris got nothing on strange, Hawkeye literally could have killed Ajax the eternals leader lmfao...that being said lets be honest wanda / vision /dr strange the hulk , or even thanons for that matter could have single handedly taken apart and killed off the eternals . Given they had the full insight into the eternals and powers each one had ,as the eternals had the knowledge of all the avengers..
I mean Thor withstands the blast of a dieing star/sun just to make a weapon...ikiris flys into sun to die..🤣
Captain marvel gets a blast from a infinity stone..shrugs it off
Ikiris blast druig with his strongesr eye blast... druig whos has no special powers other then mind control and is afraid ikiris will be his death..gets up and walks off the strongest eternals power move like he only got the wind knocked out of him 🤣🤣🤣 really!
@@drowdrizt21 you clearly haven't been paying attention. Every mcu hero is underpowered. Literally the avengers member's you mentioned would kill the eternals in the comics. Thor and hulk have literally already beaten Ikaris in the comics. Heck comic hulk beat the shit out of gladiator and gladiator beat hyperion and hyperion is an eternal that is stronger than ikaris so cool your jets boy.
Yeah i know why the nerfed them though,only Ikaris wasn't that nerfed.
Sersi for example shouldn't need to touch people to transmute them she uses range attacks like eye beams and energy blast but if she had that imagine, she would have stopped Ikaris right there.
yeah i agree it added a good element to it in my opinion. Some people were strong, some had defense, and some had abilities and it made them quite different and diverse between them all.
not underpowered, they were fighting beings of their own caliber
Ya know….. I kinda liked this movie and so did my wife. At the end I asked her who she liked out of all the eternals and to my surprise she found Druig the most interesting and I was like ….okay. Overall I enjoyed it it has problems but I still think they did a good job we both gave it a 7out of 10. Side note: Gilgamesh was great to me. They couldn’t of waited until he put his pie down to tell him the news..
Everybody in our audience felt the same way. About the pie.
She probably thinks he’s attractive lmao
Not hating on him I just couldn’t figure out his accent. It seemed like it was there and then wasn’t.
that pie looked yummy lol. My favorite was Ikarus, I've had a crush on Richard Madden since Cinderella lol
@@moisesibarra Lol probably does, I liked him in “13 reasons why” he just fell flat in this to me
grace you hit every nail on the head and express everything i thought, or even things i didnt realise but agree with.
Just saw it today! We loved it and loved the epic scope of it all! Really looking forward to the continuation!!
7:45 The comparison was simply about Kingo having a manservant. It's like saying that you shouldnt use the phrase "Just like Batman" about someone who has a impossibly cool car because the owner of the car doesn't have the same personality as Bruce Wayne. That's being a bit too serious about fandom, IMO.
I loved it! I felt for the characters, I understood their motivations, I liked the twist reveal about "bad guy", looked like a painting, loved the action. My only criticism is the Ballywood dance number i knew coming and expected a lot better, better music, hammier, better dancing, it was a huge let down
Yeah it was kinda lame, expected better
I hate Bollywood, or rather what it represents, so I'm glad that scene was somewhat muted
'Didn't we just do bracelets???' said with utter bewilderment, is hilarious.
I just watched it today. And I enjoyed it so much. Chloe did a great job directing and story wise. It was the best Phase 4 movie for me
If Marvel makes Eternals into an eight episodes show on Disney+, it may have become one of the best Marvel TV shows so far.
I said the same thing as I walked out of the theater tonight.
Agreed
💯
Funny enough I think you are right. But some themes definitely had to be changed. For example, I would have reduced the cast to only five. Make them only immortals and gods, get rid of the robots and aliens identity. Also don't make the earth an egg of an Eternal. And explain in a more detailed way why everyone is important, so the betrayals are granted and relevant to the story. Finally, use the Disney+ series to introduce mutants and inhumans as descendants of the Eternals and Deviants.
You're kidding
I went to eternals yesterday opening night (live in the netherlands). I think its still a good movie, but is started really slow to me. The end realy picked up and that made the movie for me i liked it a lot. And thank you grace for all the years of excellent content.
German subscriber here: I watched the film last Thursday with friends who are Marvel fans and we all enjoyed it. It is everything a Marvel film is not and that is exactly its strength.
I really enjoyed it. The epic scale was really breathtaking and the relationships between the characters was very poignant.
*RT SCORE:* it is at 86% audScore already. & the banned in china/many islamic states over the lgbtqx content: changes things. i didnt know it was still such a deal. & props Disney to not caving. -JC
You didn't know that was such a deal in those countries?
Also Disney very easily solved the problem in the past. Simply they cut these scenes as they are NEVER connected to the main plot on purpose. In Asia there are always 2 versions of the film: one sterilised for the cinemas and the uncut version U can find on the net.
Yeah I'm glad they are not caving either. Especially for such a small scene as well.
The Phastos taking down ikaris was the best part of the final fight for me. I loved the fight on the beach
As someone who grew up reading Greek and Roman mythology lt was lovely making the comparisons. I'm 63 so I come from a generation that grew up reading books 📚 and letting my imagination take over. Helps you to focus more I think 🤔
I actually thought Hayaks Ajax was the best character and acted in the movie.
The range of emotions! She was a leader but showed soo much compassion, that I've never actually seen such a leader.
And her flashbacks throughout the film was well done.
I didnt like Kingo at all, I actually found Kumail very stiff in his action sequences and in that Bollywood dance number.
I think people and Grace are taking the whole “They’re basics robots” to another level it shouldn’t be on. They are NOT ROBOTS, they’re still humans, just organic beings created with Cosmic energy by Arishem. He said this in the movie……
yeah it was very obvious, this is why sometimes a re-watch is needed.
Just watched Eternals and it's a 9/10 for me!!! The film is amazing.
Awesome fight scenes, great characters and explained the lore of the MCU and expanded it too! I can't believe how they tied this to Endgame too, have to watch it again.
Only downside is that, well, it takes time to get to know each character better, as much it could since they are still new characters but all of them are lovable in their own way. My favourite has to be Makkari, Ajak, Gilgamesh Ikaris and Thena.
I honestly got bored a lot of the time, glanced at my phone a few times. There were great moments, but not enough to keep me engaged the entire time. I think a great way to describe this movie is that you could take bathroom breaks you didn’t have to rush. Lots of people in my theater did that.
I just watched it and loved every bit of it. Can’t wait for the second one.
Ship of Theseus argument Marvel made earlier this year, regarding wiping Thena’s memory.
The MCU has reached a size and scale where you can’t have an apocalyptic event that is out in the open and not have a crossover at some point. I agree the lack of other mcu characters making cameos at the end was low key confusing.
Yeah that was definitely weird other characters would’ve been picked up on that immediately
No eye-beam struggles? Scott Summers: Am I a joke to you? ^^"
Just saw the movie and it was AMAZING. In love with the eternals after. Cant stop thinking about it. I really don’t understand the hate or people even saying it was mid it had a grand epic feel. And I could care less if another MCU avengers character cameo because the characters I traduced were just so compelling to me. Beautiful, stunning, epic cosmic scope
Better than shitty endgame of course
I want eternals 2
I found it weird that all the Eternals names referenced different parts of history but I liked having them be the inspiration it made me reframe my view and that was pretty neat
I saw the movie last night and I disagree with some of your comments and the critics in general... I really liked it, it was great, not the best MCU for sure but I do wanna watch it again!
Same it is in my top 10
Yess
I think if the build-up to Eternals had been longer it would have had more meaning. Remembering the years-long build-up to Avengers: Infinity War and the story being a fight to save half the people in the galaxy. Being able to learning the backstories of all the characters they meant something to all of us. And with Eternals being a couple of hours and the story being the destruction of the world in hands of people we really didn't know or trust. It was hard to feel like the ending had much meaning.
Personally, I thought it could’ve done better story wise and with the pacing. However the cinematography, music and representation was absolutely phenomenal!
Grace saying “This whole movie needed to focus” was the FUNNIEST thing in this review! 😂😂😂
You are literally the only one who's mad about the DC references honestly. Nobody thought the movie was referencing a crossover lmfao
Watched it yesterday. It was good and love the twists! Some of the characters are not developed well, but overall was good and interesting. Would love to see more makkari and thena!
The movie was just okay to me. I didn't really find myself caring for the characters much or feel stakes like I would have liked to. Also I have no idea how the Eternals managed to keep the Deviants away for so long because it seemed like they could barely handle them lmao. And they managed to kill a ton of humans too
They could barely handle them because Ajak wasn't there to heal them anymore.
