Buddy you need to understand there are die hard fans from comics and they have been waiting so long to see there favorite characters in live action then they give them this which none of there's characters are how they act in comics so it kinder makes sense that people won't like this movies if you look at it from that aspect
The scene where Makkari is just going crazy on Ikaris is still one of my favorite speedsters scenes. Nowadays it's always slow-motion but something about just seeing her going fast as hell and the music really made it such a cool scene. That being said Days of Future Past still has my all time favorite speedster scene in a movie even with the slow-motion.
That voice at the very end that says: You sure you're ready for that Mr. Whitman, is a character called Blade who's gonna be played by Mahershala Ali. He's got an upcoming solo movie coming in phase 6 next year supposedly. Blade is a vampire hunter. There are 3 movies made in the late 90s/early 2000s with Wesley Snipes playing Blade...
This is probably my third favorite movie that came out post phase 3. Tonally, it's cohesive, it's got pacing reminiscent of comic books, and storytelling wise, it employs sa lot of in medias res, similar to the constantine movie.
The reason thena broke free from her spell fighting with the smart deviant is because he said the one word that was an anti-trigger to her mind fracturing: “remember”. It’s what Gil always told her when he was soothing her down. The deviant tried using Gil’s voice to manipulate her but wound up saying the one thing that broke her free from the spell; it’s poetic in a way
28:32 this song we may hear in next seasons of Fallout, if they continue using those songs that appeared in games, unless it already was in the show and I forgot. Great song guys ❤
I loved the sheer amount of imagination fuel in this movie. I know some people thought it talked too much, and the comic book fans thought they changed too much, but I loved it. The lack of follow-up so far is annoying, but the rumor is that the next Captain America movie will be about the world fighting over the remains of the dead Celestial.
So Jack Kirby's Eternals was very much inspired by Greek Mythology. Ikaris = Iccarus (flew too close to the sun), Ajak for Ajax (Greek Warrior), Makkari for Mercury (Messenger of the gods), Thena for Athena, (Wise advisor for the gods )Phastos for Hephaestus (Blacksmith of the gods), Sersi for Cersi (Witch/Transmuter) etc. Dane Whitman on the other hand has another identity in the Marvel Universe as wielder of The Ebony Blade. The Greek gods lived on Mount Olympus which was the tallest mountain in Greece. Hercules was the son of Zeus with a mortal making him a demigod. So he lived on earth while he was mortal. He was later made immortal after all of his labors as being worthy. Tiamat in Babylonian mythology was the personification of saltwater usually depicted as a dragon. Ultimately she was defeated by Marduk.
Not just Greek Mythology. Gilgamesh is a Mesopotamia hero, Sprite is basically Puck, Kingo is a Japanese character and Druig is named for the Celtic druids.
Actually, Kirby's comic book Eternals were a different group of beings from the Greek/Roman gods. They were similarly named and sometimes confused for the gods. There was some friction between them, but eventually Zeus allowed the Eternals to serve as earthly proxies for the gods of Mt Olympus. The MCU eliminated all of that by making the Eternals' city of Olympia merely a false memory.
I love this movie for many reasons, not like some people did not, I love it because its different from what we used to see from Marvel, and I love History, ancient Gods stories, and the creation of the universe, the Characters are mix of all the ancient gods from all the old civilization around the world, Babylon, Greek, Roman, Egypt, the Director is an Oscar winner, she win the Oscar before the release date of this movie, She win for a different movie, The Eternals in the Comics used to be so boring stories, they kept repeating the same story over and over again to keep the characters alive, it was a very challenging project for the Director, she changes all the boring stories in the comics to something more poetic, history, and the connection between humans and Gods
Learning about the Tigres and Euphrates in history in Africa still feels awesome. It is so weird when those ancient cities, artifacts and stories pop up in modern stories.
Ms. October has the key to a part of the hate to this move: basic knowledge about history, mythology and cinematography. It's not the best movie in history, but to me, is one of the best in Marvel's. When I watched one of the Blue Gates of Babylon (Ishtar) on the screen I was happy for the rest of the week. Same with some fresh dialogues, the colours, the narrative... I guess those haters are the same who consider GotG the best movies ever. When you have 14...
I like your comparison to X-Men, because of lot of other people I've watched complained there were too many new characters to keep track of in Eternals, but there weren't any such complaints about X-Men. I think the change of audience over time from X-Men to MCU has a lot of newer viewers liking MCU because it's usually solo outings first (Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, etc.) prior to the team up, so they had more time to know them and care about each one. I, too, hope they have some good plans for the Eternals, and now a lot of people are frustrated that they are building up to the next big-bad, but they haven't revealed much so far. Plus, now they have the TV series to flesh out things even more, and that's a lot of viewing. It seems to make each movie less significant, unless you're a "true believer" (Stan Lee's old wink to his fans), because there aren't lot of solo sequels anymore. I like everything to date, and am always happy to see more (waaaaay old school comic nerd here). :D
Knowing what the endgame of Eternals is, it blows my mind that Thanos actually saved everyone by cutting the population in half, and the Avengers put us back in jeopardy by undoing the blip. Crazy
That was only Earth, and Thanos cutting the population in half only delayed the Emergence by 70 years at most (assuming the Avengers hadn't brought everyone back). Earth's human population went from 4 billion in 1975 to 8 billion in 2022... Less than 50 years.
You do realise that in MCU there is life on billion of planets in billion of galaxies? Earth is not the only planet, so stop justifying Thanos, he errased half of the population in the whole universe, not just the Earth
@@Aaniel_al.Meara. exaxctly. The entire population of one planet (or even hundreds if that many Celestial eggs were finally ready) is nothing compared to half of all life across the entire universe. Thanos felt that life inevitably would grow beyond the capacity of its environment to support. That was his concern,which he stated. There was no other "hidden" agenda, and his solution (the snap) wasn't even a good one, it just delayed the same situation arising by 50 to 100 years at most. He was just a genocidal zealot.
Enjoy the movie Loved the reaction Your editor did a great job for his first go at it. It’s all about learning what TH-cam will allow and what they won’t, which I’m sure is an extremely tough job.
The only MCU movie to use comics from the actual characters in this movie! The intro credits used the Eternals comics! The only MCU movie to be filmed on location. This movie used the least cgi of any MCU movie ever! This movie is massively influenced by real world mythology! I loved every minute of this movie!
@@havok6280But are you a mythology and history nerd? No? Then you miss the point. The director is irrelevant in that case. You don’t get the references. Like how Mercury was the “god of thieves” and why. Because Sprite told stories. Mythology nerds get it.
This was a fun movie, but definitely done in a much different style. The level of scale that the characters deal with are bigger than what we've seen before. You have Spider-Man dong street level stuff. Other Avengers doing multi-world/galaxy stuff. And now Eternals going bigger than that. It opens up whole other parts of the Marvel Comics to come to the MCU. Its like you have to look at it with a much bigger lens. Its a lot to take in. There are about 20 Celestials in Marvel comics, so lots more room to explore there if they choose. Nah, this and X-Men are tied other than being Marvel. When you mentioned Ego, you were correct that he was a Celecsial as well. Not noticed by many is that the lead deviant became more and more human like after each one he defeated. The reason Thanos is purple, is because of his deviant gene as an eternal. The voice you hear at the end in the credit scene is that of Mahershala Ali, who is supposed to play Blade in the MCU Blade movies eventually.
@@havok6280 Celestials scatter the universe and are bigger than planets. Your right Infinity War dealt with the erasure of creatures across the universe. But the threat wasn't universal, the threat was just one really large strong man. I'm probably not explaining it right, but the concepts of the Celestials and what they do is grander.
And yea, Dane Whitman is the third character to use the codename of black knight, another marvel super hero comic called BLACK KNIGHT. He is the descendant of the original black knight and is the nephew of the supervillain black knight. He inherited a THAT mystical sword you see at thee post cred scene which carried a curse and took the Black Knight mantle to help restore honor.
Each eternal have different abilities and different classes, like 5 of them are Fighters, and the other are the Thinkers. Fighters: Ikaris- Leader of the Fighters, named after the Greek hero who flew almost to the sun- Flight, cosmic energy laser eyes and superhuman strength Thena- named after Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war- creates different kinds of cosmic energy weapons Gilgamesh- named after the Mesopotamian hero- creates cosmic energy exoskeleton and superhuman strength Kingo- named after a Babylonian god of war - shoots cosmic energy from his hands or fingertips Makkari- counterpart of Mercury, Roman god of speed and messenger of the gods- cosmic superhuman speed Thinkers: Ajax- Leader of the Thinkers and the Eternals, named after a Greek General or admiral and counterpart of the Aztec god of wind and life, Quetzalcoatl- superhuman reflexes and cosmic healing Sersi- named after the Greek sorceress- cosmic matter manipulation Phastos- counterpart of Hephaestus, Greek god of craftsman, engineering and fire- creates cosmic energy mechanical tools and weapons or technology Druig- named after and counterpart of the Druids, celtic priests- mind control and create the Uni Mind Sprite- named after the woodland sprites, type of fairy, more of a trickster- creates cosmic energy illusions.
Yes, Marvel Comics has the Greek Pantheon and the Norse Pantheon and The Egyptian Pantheon as well. But the point I was trying to make is that the Eternal character ideas draw on Greek mythology primarily as well as other cultural mythology.
18:00 there’s actually a newer comic story line called ‘A.X.E: Judgment’ The Celestials deem the mutants as a continuation of the Deviants/alternate versions of the Eternals. the mutants can remake themselves with their memories over & over, like how the Celestials use the World Forge to make the Eternals again & again 29:50 haha that’s the predominant theory. Thanos knew of the Celestials & used the snap to delay most of them being born. but when everyone got snapped back, it was a kick start to Tiamut emerging 36:30 hahaha SPIRIT BOMB 🙌🌎 41:30 that’s the voice of Mahershala Ali, cast as the new ‘Blade’
fyi, the Eternals purpose was to stop the Deviants from destroying the planet's life forms. In addition, protect the planet until it has established sufficient population to provide for the birth of the Celestial Tiamut.
Fun fact, the Eternals were NOT created by Stan Lee. They were created by Jack Kirby, who also created Captain America back in the1940's. The Eternals were supposed to be Marvel versions of DC characters, but seen as gods. (Ikaris = Superman, Thena= Wonder Woman, etc)
This has nothing to do with the movie 😂 but since one of the characters was in the show, I figured I’d say it lol. If y’all haven’t watched The Walking Dead yet, I’m sure alot of ppl would love to see y’all react to that!
Much appreciation to the new editor but I have to be honest, it seems like they removed majority of great scenes and for some reason, this video did not flow well like all your previous videos. Just putting in my 2 cents but I've never had any issues against your videos until now. It's almost like the editor didn't watch the movie and just used chatgpt to make random edits. Hopefully they improve to the same quality you've been putting out before.
I laughed every time they recognized something from mythology or popular culture as something from another intellectual propriety that was inspired by the same myths or stories.
I think its grossly underrated. It's a really good stand alone movie. The worse thing about it, is it came shortly after End Game, and people were still very upset about End Game.
No one was upset about End Game. It's one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. If people were mad about Endgame, how did Shang Chi do so well? This movie is properly rated. It isn't top-tier Marvel. It has to introduce too many new characters, it has a director with no action experience, and it has a complicated story and Mythology.
@@havok6280people were upset about how End Game broke everyone’s hearts and Eternals comes along, people were upset because how could there have been Eternals that sat back and watched Thanos wipe out half of existence. It was a huge MCU continuity hole that left millions baffled. They tried to explain how they couldn’t intervene and that left people more upset and confused. People being mad about End Game had nothing to do with the movie, it was the MCU continuity problem dropped on people’s toes while people were still reeling from End Game.
@HardParking it isn't a continuity error. It makes sense that eternals can only intervene regarding deviants. The issue is that Thanos has the deviant gene which is why his brother is an eternal. But few MCU fans are that familiar with the comics. More importantly, if you opinion was correct, why are No Way Home and Deadpool 3 two of the highest grossing MCU movies? If people were mad/sad after Endgame, why do some of the movies still do so well? The fact is people still enjoy Marvel content when it's good. The don't when it's mediocre or bad. Eternals is mediocre.
I actually had money invested in this movie through the comics. Dane White is an important character and hopefully we’ll see him in the future. I liked this movie as well but it was mixed in reviews. From this point on, the movies and shows will be a hit or miss.
Hey Octobers! I enjoy your channel very much, thank you! I wonder if you’re going yo react to The Big Bang Theory at some point (if you haven’t seen it). Now that you’re up to date with some of the pop culture classics I think you gonna like that show, it’s so much fun 🙂
Mesopotamia its in the south of Iraq, its when one of the greatest civilization started, like Sumer, Akkad, and Babylon after, this story its close to the ancient Gods of that time
Unfortunately, this is one of the threads that is likely going to end up getting cut as Marvel comes to terms with how they're doing at the box office these days. I would have been interested to see more about these guys, even if a lot of the performances were fairly... flat.
Don't get too attached to anything you see in this movie. Nothing is referenced in any other decent Marvel movie. Even the upcoming "Blade" is having HUGE issues with filming, with the main actor almost ready to walk. This movie has no place on the timeline, as apparently in every other movie that follows, nothing here existed.
I wanted this movie to be good, but the time jumps didn't help. I wish they did just one continuous story instead of 10 different exposition flashbacks.
PLEASE React to these Action & Comedies or Both: Starring Chris Evans Cellular The Ringer, Date Night, Big Stan, Netflix Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy, Netflix Jo Koy: Don't Make Him Angry, and Fire Up and The Family
Iv always loved ur reaction vids and still love , but idk about this one too much tbh , dont get me wrong still love u guys , but alot of talking about other things rather than reacting and following whats happening . alot of laughing too , for example u guys were refering alot to game of thrones and talking over the actual scenes ,laughing over sad and deep scences , also the editing and cutting out cool some scens just didnt feel right to me , i dont want to sound negative , iv been with u guys since iron man3 reaction and love u, i just care about the quality thats why my comment sounded like this keep it up
I hate this movie so much. It is a blight on the MCU and the first real signal that things were not right after phase 3. But I watched the reaction and gave my obligatory "like" because I love your channel and want to boost your algorithm. Plus, Mrs. October wearing a Def Leppard shirt is worth a "like" all by itself. :)
You guys do know you have missed some very important marvel movies that do come back into play right? Daredevil and elektra. Gotta watch in that order. It matters
Aaaaand of course the only non-color, non-gay, non-minority or non- disabled person in Eternals turns out to be the hidden villain. It has become a running Disney trope after the Endgame.
alot of fast cutting .one scene u were talking and in a second switching to another scene when u immediately talking about other things , wasnt very smooth , the editing wasnt my fav in this one ngl guys
In reality, the very first thing she said was South America, but I edited that out to not make her look as silly. I’m not throwing her under the bus telling you I’m just pointing out the fact that you should stop trolling my boy.
They helped humans evolve so ya that is why the mutations. Also I think the Inhumans may have been some of the reason too. Read that stuff a long time ago
In the comics the Eternals and Deviants were both the result of Celestial experiments upon early humans, they are different evolutionary branches from humanity. Eternals lived on Earth for 30,000 years in a hidden city called Olympia. In the MCU, Eternals are synthetic beings manufactured and programmed at the World Forge and Deviants are a reptilian-looking species of alien predators. Neither originated on Earth in the movie universe.
@@NeophyteNovice I'm a staunch defender of the MCU, I even appreciated Secret Invasion and feel it's unfortunate that many fans overlook its significant contributions because its viewership was minimal, at best. Another Disney+ disaster. However, The Marvels was a letdown, both critically and commercially. While Quantumania fell short of expectations, at least Ant-Man has two successful films out of three. Paul Rudd's performance in Endgame was outstanding. The decision to dismiss Jonathan Majors from Disney for a minor misdemeanor seems unjust, considering his impressive role in Loki and considerable talent. I was looking forward to what they had planned for Kang. Regarding The Eternals, I struggled to engage with it, and I needed multiple attempts to finish. The excessive number of characters and lackluster direction overshadowed the director's previous accolades. The future presence of these characters in the MCU seems unlikely as the franchise appears to have lost its momentum. Earlier phases built up to the monumental achievements of Infinity War and Endgame, but the recent standalone projects lack the same cohesive payoff.
This movie was pretty. My biggest IRK is that the BIG OLE THING comes out of the Earth and like yall said, that would F up the Earth spin and orbit. that thing is HUGE! What did it do to the internal workings of Earth??? Never discussed, not an issue, just move on to Harry Styles. What? I'd like to see the Eternals back but make them fit, which I can't see happening, and fix the IMO sloppy ending.
The last post credit scene is setting up Dane to take up the mantle of the Marvel character, Black Knight. The mysterious voice is the vampire hunter, Blade. The scene is a setup for not only a future Blade movie, but also a future movie on the Marvel team called The Midnight Sons.
The Eternals were never popular enough to keep a comic going. Then add Disney black, brown, yellow, red and vagina washing them and they lost the five fans they had. That's why this movie flopped.
I thought that this movie and a lot of the other movies in the next phase of the MCU were underrated. Some are better than others, some are great and some are only mediocre but not every movie can be as good as Infinity War or Endgame, and I think people came to expect quite a lot from the MCU. Maybe even a little too much? Yes there are issues where they seem to think they can slack on the writing as long as there's a diverse gay woman of color in the lead role, but they've yet to make a movie or television series that I didn't enjoy. But I'm just an old comic nerd that's still just happy as a clam that they can finally make superhero movies that actually look real, lol. I like to invite some of these people that slam the current MCU movies to watch some of the terrible old stuff like the Nick fury movie with David Hasselhoff, or the nearly unwatchable Captain America movie from the 80s, among others. DC movies were better, Christopher Reeves Superman, Michael Keaton's Batman, etc, but the Best thing marvel did before Blade was The Punisher with Dolph Lundgren, and the one with Thomas Jane later on, but now there are superhero movies and television shows all over the place and I for one and loving every second of it! Great reaction guys! I'm always looking forward to the next video! see you then.
It bugs me how much hate this movie got. I really enjoyed it. It may have worked for people more as a series, but idk how good the budget would be for that. I really enjoy this movie.
This movie deserves all the hate it got. My wife and I were in awe of how bad it was. We kept watching until the end because it was like a train wreck and we couldn't look away.
I think that this movie was definitely overhated it was overall a good movie my only issue was that we didn’t get to really know them apart from sersi but it was definitely one of the better movie to come out of phase 4
@@havok6280 i said over hated not overrated and I didn’t say it was better than any of those in my opinion it was better than most of the mini series and some movies it’s my opinion if it’s not your cup of tea good for you me and a lot of other people from what I’ve seen liked it
Overhated isn't a word so I assumed it was a typo. Again, this movie was at the bottom of phase 4. If you concede that it isn't better than the films I listed, it is by definition at the bottom. And if you throw in the TV shows, you think it's better than Wandavision and Loki? That is not an opinion held by "a lot of people". At least according to the IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes scores not to mention the box office. The fact that Disney nixed the sequel says they aren't high on this movie either.
This one should have been a Disney+ show. Too many characters and too much mythology to introduce in a two hour movie. Also the reason for not helping against Thanos is nonsense. In the comics, Thanos had the deviant gene.
The reason for not helping with Thanos worked in the movie universe. In the MCU there is no "deviant gene" because Eternals and Deviants aren't related evolutionary branches of humanity. The MCU changed Deviants into an alien predatory species who looked reptilian and Eternals into synthetic beings manufactured and programmed aboard the World Forge.
Movie was meh......there is some really good parts: like final fight, few characters: Starfox(Eros), Makkari, Dane Whitman(Black knight), Phaistos, Portrait of Celestials.....but was few bad things....TOO LONG end boring beginning, tooo much diversity in Eternals....Too much british!!! Bad performance of few actors: dude who played Druig was awful, Sersi should be powerful, brave not scary of everything, Ikaris as main villain(of course white dude)...and most people felt that isn't a MCU movie(Director fault)
Love you two but this was near impossible to watch. Spent the whole time mentioning game of thrones references that weren't game of thrones references. It's mega clear that y'all are currently watching GoT.
This was definitely the first biggest MCU flop. Like, nobody liked watching this movie, and there were so many possibilities for there to be awesome scenes in this movie that they never used. Even Kumail Nanjiani got ripped for this movie, and they didn’t even give him 1 shirtless scene.
The woke ideology was heavy in this one and it showed at the box office. Worst marvel movie until the marvels goes full woke and dethrones eternals as the worst marvel movie. The issue they deliberately punk every male character and make them weak or stupid. All the females are powerful and always has to save men. It would be fine and realistic if it happened maybe once or twice but now every film I just count every cringe scene and that never happened from iron man to endgame.
There was nothing "woke" about the Marvels. It was just a follow-up to the Ms Marvel series on Disney+ and didn't have any heavy-handed social messaging like the first Captain Marvel movie did. The Marvels was actually a pretty good, far more entertaining than most other Phase 4 projects. It's only major issue was a crappy villain, but that's nothing unique. IT flopped at the box office just because people expected it to be preachy (which it wasn't) and therefore didn't go see it,

Thanos felt that life inevitably would grow beyond the capacity of its environment to support. That was his concern,which he stated. There was no other "hidden" agenda, and his solution (the snap) wasn't even a good one, it just delayed the same situation arising by 50 to 100 years at most.
He was just a genocidal zealot.
Dane Whitman is a Marvel character. You can look him up. He becomes an Avenger!
W editor
Enjoy the movie
Loved the reaction
Your editor did a great job for his first go at it. It’s all about learning what TH-cam will allow and what they won’t, which I’m sure is an extremely tough job.
The only MCU movie to use comics from the actual characters in this movie! The intro credits used the Eternals comics! The only MCU movie to be filmed on location. This movie used the least cgi of any MCU movie ever! This movie is massively influenced by real world mythology! I loved every minute of this movie!
One reference you didn't get was that Icarus is famous for flying into the sun.
I love all the references. It's hilarious, I say keep it up.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this reaction!
As somebody who loves history, mythology, & historical influences, I truly LOVE this film. It’s in my PERSONAL top 5 for the MCU. But that’s just me.
Yep. Definitely just you. And I'm a Chloe Zhao fan. This movie is just a mess.
Out of curiosity, what are your other top 4?
@@havok6280
5: Guardians Vol. 3
4: Civil War
3: Eternals
2: Infinity War
1: Dr. Strange
Not just you. For the same reasons.
@@havok6280But are you a mythology and history nerd? No? Then you miss the point. The director is irrelevant in that case. You don’t get the references. Like how Mercury was the “god of thieves” and why. Because Sprite told stories.
Mythology nerds get it.
And how was it “a mess?” Why are these criticisms always so damn vague?
This was a fun movie, but definitely done in a much different style. The level of scale that the characters deal with are bigger than what we've seen before. You have Spider-Man dong street level stuff. Other Avengers doing multi-world/galaxy stuff. And now Eternals going bigger than that. It opens up whole other parts of the Marvel Comics to come to the MCU. Its like you have to look at it with a much bigger lens. Its a lot to take in.
There are about 20 Celestials in Marvel comics, so lots more room to explore there if they choose.
Nah, this and X-Men are tied other than being Marvel. When you mentioned Ego, you were correct that he was a Celecsial as well.
Not noticed by many is that the lead deviant became more and more human like after each one he defeated.
The reason Thanos is purple, is because of his deviant gene as an eternal.
The voice you hear at the end in the credit scene is that of Mahershala Ali, who is supposed to play Blade in the MCU Blade movies eventually.
How is this a larger scale than Infinity War? Half of all life in the Universe is greater than the population of one planet, Earth?
@@havok6280 Celestials scatter the universe and are bigger than planets. Your right Infinity War dealt with the erasure of creatures across the universe. But the threat wasn't universal, the threat was just one really large strong man. I'm probably not explaining it right, but the concepts of the Celestials and what they do is grander.
Love your reactions as usual 🤙🏾
Keep up the great work everyday
And yea, Dane Whitman is the third character to use the codename of black knight, another marvel super hero comic called BLACK KNIGHT. He is the descendant of the original black knight and is the nephew of the supervillain black knight. He inherited a THAT mystical sword you see at thee post cred scene which carried a curse and took the Black Knight mantle to help restore honor.
Each eternal have different abilities and different classes, like 5 of them are Fighters, and the other are the Thinkers.
Fighters:
Ikaris- Leader of the Fighters, named after the Greek hero who flew almost to the sun- Flight, cosmic energy laser eyes and superhuman strength
Thena- named after Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war- creates different kinds of cosmic energy weapons
Gilgamesh- named after the Mesopotamian hero- creates cosmic energy exoskeleton and superhuman strength
Kingo- named after a Babylonian god of war - shoots cosmic energy from his hands or fingertips
Makkari- counterpart of Mercury, Roman god of speed and messenger of the gods- cosmic superhuman speed
Thinkers:
Ajax- Leader of the Thinkers and the Eternals, named after a Greek General or admiral and counterpart of the Aztec god of wind and life, Quetzalcoatl- superhuman reflexes and cosmic healing
Sersi- named after the Greek sorceress- cosmic matter manipulation
Phastos- counterpart of Hephaestus, Greek god of craftsman, engineering and fire- creates cosmic energy mechanical tools and weapons or technology
Druig- named after and counterpart of the Druids, celtic priests- mind control and create the Uni Mind
Sprite- named after the woodland sprites, type of fairy, more of a trickster- creates cosmic energy illusions.
Yes, Marvel Comics has the Greek Pantheon and the Norse Pantheon and The Egyptian Pantheon as well. But the point I was trying to make is that the Eternal character ideas draw on Greek mythology primarily as well as other cultural mythology.
18:00 there’s actually a newer comic story line called ‘A.X.E: Judgment’
The Celestials deem the mutants as a continuation of the Deviants/alternate versions of the Eternals. the mutants can remake themselves with their memories over & over, like how the Celestials use the World Forge to make the Eternals again & again
29:50 haha that’s the predominant theory. Thanos knew of the Celestials & used the snap to delay most of them being born. but when everyone got snapped back, it was a kick start to Tiamut emerging
36:30 hahaha SPIRIT BOMB 🙌🌎
41:30 that’s the voice of Mahershala Ali, cast as the new ‘Blade’
No way home after Hawkeye can’t wait!!!
fyi, the Eternals purpose was to stop the Deviants from destroying the planet's life forms. In addition, protect the planet until it has established sufficient population to provide for the birth of the Celestial Tiamut.
Haha, it was nice to see you mention Oumuamua :)
Fun fact, the Eternals were NOT created by Stan Lee. They were created by Jack Kirby, who also created Captain America back in the1940's. The Eternals were supposed to be Marvel versions of DC characters, but seen as gods. (Ikaris = Superman, Thena= Wonder Woman, etc)
The family history Of Jon snow Is hes the Black Knight, powerful magic sword welding Hero Who in comics is an Avenger and a sersi love interest
I won't regurgitate the details, but this movie explains how they can bring Thanos back.
You guys only have to watch one Fantastic Four movies, then you should be caught up with everything before Doctor Strange 2.
Next Time we meet we All Black 🖤 And They Finally meet 😭
Shes turned it to admantium. Cause in cap 4 coming up that said to be the entire plot for that movie.
Alright well new editor so…gotta watch true detective 🤷🏻♂️
This has nothing to do with the movie 😂 but since one of the characters was in the show, I figured I’d say it lol. If y’all haven’t watched The Walking Dead yet, I’m sure alot of ppl would love to see y’all react to that!
I guess this isn't a spoiler. Dane whitman (Kit Harrington) is another Marvel character called Black Knight.
Tomorrow is the 31st Anniversary of JURASSIC PARK.
Btw this is what thanos was trying to prevent by deleting life he saw this happening
17:09 I can't wait for This Joker to show up in THE BATMAN Part 2
mystery man at the end is BLADE
Much appreciation to the new editor but I have to be honest, it seems like they removed majority of great scenes and for some reason, this video did not flow well like all your previous videos. Just putting in my 2 cents but I've never had any issues against your videos until now. It's almost like the editor didn't watch the movie and just used chatgpt to make random edits. Hopefully they improve to the same quality you've been putting out before.
Sir, you know damn well it didn't take Goku 15 minutes to make a Spirit Bomb....it took 15 episodes. Lol
I laughed every time they recognized something from mythology or popular culture as something from another intellectual propriety that was inspired by the same myths or stories.
Ikaris's conflict was the only thing I enjoyed and found provoking in this whole movie.
In this film Jon snow knows nothing until the end
I think its grossly underrated. It's a really good stand alone movie. The worse thing about it, is it came shortly after End Game, and people were still very upset about End Game.
No one was upset about End Game. It's one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.
If people were mad about Endgame, how did Shang Chi do so well?
This movie is properly rated. It isn't top-tier Marvel. It has to introduce too many new characters, it has a director with no action experience, and it has a complicated story and Mythology.
@@havok6280people were upset about how End Game broke everyone’s hearts and Eternals comes along, people were upset because how could there have been Eternals that sat back and watched Thanos wipe out half of existence. It was a huge MCU continuity hole that left millions baffled. They tried to explain how they couldn’t intervene and that left people more upset and confused. People being mad about End Game had nothing to do with the movie, it was the MCU continuity problem dropped on people’s toes while people were still reeling from End Game.
@HardParking it isn't a continuity error. It makes sense that eternals can only intervene regarding deviants. The issue is that Thanos has the deviant gene which is why his brother is an eternal.
But few MCU fans are that familiar with the comics.
More importantly, if you opinion was correct, why are No Way Home and Deadpool 3 two of the highest grossing MCU movies? If people were mad/sad after Endgame, why do some of the movies still do so well?
The fact is people still enjoy Marvel content when it's good. The don't when it's mediocre or bad. Eternals is mediocre.
I actually had money invested in this movie through the comics. Dane White is an important character and hopefully we’ll see him in the future. I liked this movie as well but it was mixed in reviews. From this point on, the movies and shows will be a hit or miss.
Did you know the knowhere skull in guardians is the head of a dead celestial
Hey Octobers! I enjoy your channel very much, thank you!
I wonder if you’re going yo react to The Big Bang Theory at some point (if you haven’t seen it).
Now that you’re up to date with some of the pop culture classics I think you gonna like that show, it’s so much fun 🙂
leon edwards is from birmingham, 40 mins away from me
So sad they ended this I would’ve liked to see where it went
Mesopotamia its in the south of Iraq, its when one of the greatest civilization started, like Sumer, Akkad, and Babylon after, this story its close to the ancient Gods of that time
Mesopotamia was where Western civilization started. Life started in the ocean.
Unfortunately, this is one of the threads that is likely going to end up getting cut as Marvel comes to terms with how they're doing at the box office these days. I would have been interested to see more about these guys, even if a lot of the performances were fairly... flat.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Don't get too attached to anything you see in this movie. Nothing is referenced in any other decent Marvel movie. Even the upcoming "Blade" is having HUGE issues with filming, with the main actor almost ready to walk. This movie has no place on the timeline, as apparently in every other movie that follows, nothing here existed.
I wanted this movie to be good, but the time jumps didn't help. I wish they did just one continuous story instead of 10 different exposition flashbacks.
PLEASE React to these Action & Comedies or Both: Starring Chris Evans Cellular The Ringer, Date Night, Big Stan, Netflix Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy, Netflix Jo Koy: Don't Make Him Angry, and Fire Up and The Family
❤❤❤
Are you guys going to watch scary movie 2?
Iv always loved ur reaction vids and still love , but idk about this one too much tbh , dont get me wrong still love u guys , but alot of talking about other things rather than reacting and following whats happening . alot of laughing too , for example u guys were refering alot to game of thrones and talking over the actual scenes ,laughing over sad and deep scences , also the editing and cutting out cool some scens just didnt feel right to me , i dont want to sound negative , iv been with u guys since iron man3 reaction and love u, i just care about the quality thats why my comment sounded like this keep it up
I hate this movie so much. It is a blight on the MCU and the first real signal that things were not right after phase 3. But I watched the reaction and gave my obligatory "like" because I love your channel and want to boost your algorithm. Plus, Mrs. October wearing a Def Leppard shirt is worth a "like" all by itself. :)
You guys do know you have missed some very important marvel movies that do come back into play right? Daredevil and elektra. Gotta watch in that order. It matters
Aaaaand of course the only non-color, non-gay, non-minority or non- disabled person in Eternals turns out to be the hidden villain.
It has become a running Disney trope after the Endgame.
alot of fast cutting .one scene u were talking and in a second switching to another scene when u immediately talking about other things , wasnt very smooth , the editing wasnt my fav in this one ngl guys
It's a cool movie, but it's not a marvel movie
Your girl was right. She was about to say the Middle East and you interrupted her to say Africa.
Ok thanks
In reality, the very first thing she said was South America, but I edited that out to not make her look as silly. I’m not throwing her under the bus telling you I’m just pointing out the fact that you should stop trolling my boy.
Mr. Editor, sir. You did a fantastic job of making a video about a horrible film still entertaining. ;)
They helped humans evolve so ya that is why the mutations. Also I think the Inhumans may have been some of the reason too. Read that stuff a long time ago
In the comics the Eternals and Deviants were both the result of Celestial experiments upon early humans, they are different evolutionary branches from humanity. Eternals lived on Earth for 30,000 years in a hidden city called Olympia. In the MCU, Eternals are synthetic beings manufactured and programmed at the World Forge and Deviants are a reptilian-looking species of alien predators. Neither originated on Earth in the movie universe.
You guys are probably going to get slammed for GOT spoilers! Hahaha
dude from silicon vally is fatastic! he is underrated and needs to be in more stuff.
This movie was the biggest flop in MCU history until Quantumania and The Marvels made it look like a big hit in comparison.
Just because it flopped doesn’t make it bad, this fan base has turned into some of the biggest cry babies I’ve ever seen
@@NeophyteNovice I'm a staunch defender of the MCU, I even appreciated Secret Invasion and feel it's unfortunate that many fans overlook its significant contributions because its viewership was minimal, at best. Another Disney+ disaster. However, The Marvels was a letdown, both critically and commercially. While Quantumania fell short of expectations, at least Ant-Man has two successful films out of three. Paul Rudd's performance in Endgame was outstanding. The decision to dismiss Jonathan Majors from Disney for a minor misdemeanor seems unjust, considering his impressive role in Loki and considerable talent. I was looking forward to what they had planned for Kang.
Regarding The Eternals, I struggled to engage with it, and I needed multiple attempts to finish. The excessive number of characters and lackluster direction overshadowed the director's previous accolades. The future presence of these characters in the MCU seems unlikely as the franchise appears to have lost its momentum. Earlier phases built up to the monumental achievements of Infinity War and Endgame, but the recent standalone projects lack the same cohesive payoff.
This movie was pretty. My biggest IRK is that the BIG OLE THING comes out of the Earth and like yall said, that would F up the Earth spin and orbit. that thing is HUGE! What did it do to the internal workings of Earth??? Never discussed, not an issue, just move on to Harry Styles. What? I'd like to see the Eternals back but make them fit, which I can't see happening, and fix the IMO sloppy ending.
😊😊
The last post credit scene is setting up Dane to take up the mantle of the Marvel character, Black Knight. The mysterious voice is the vampire hunter, Blade. The scene is a setup for not only a future Blade movie, but also a future movie on the Marvel team called The Midnight Sons.
The Eternals were never popular enough to keep a comic going. Then add Disney black, brown, yellow, red and vagina washing them and they lost the five fans they had. That's why this movie flopped.
I thought that this movie and a lot of the other movies in the next phase of the MCU were underrated. Some are better than others, some are great and some are only mediocre but not every movie can be as good as Infinity War or Endgame, and I think people came to expect quite a lot from the MCU. Maybe even a little too much? Yes there are issues where they seem to think they can slack on the writing as long as there's a diverse gay woman of color in the lead role, but they've yet to make a movie or television series that I didn't enjoy. But I'm just an old comic nerd that's still just happy as a clam that they can finally make superhero movies that actually look real, lol. I like to invite some of these people that slam the current MCU movies to watch some of the terrible old stuff like the Nick fury movie with David Hasselhoff, or the nearly unwatchable Captain America movie from the 80s, among others. DC movies were better, Christopher Reeves Superman, Michael Keaton's Batman, etc, but the Best thing marvel did before Blade was The Punisher with Dolph Lundgren, and the one with Thomas Jane later on, but now there are superhero movies and television shows all over the place and I for one and loving every second of it! Great reaction guys! I'm always looking forward to the next video! see you then.
It bugs me how much hate this movie got. I really enjoyed it. It may have worked for people more as a series, but idk how good the budget would be for that. I really enjoy this movie.
Why does she look like the Edibles just kicked in
This movie deserves all the hate it got. My wife and I were in awe of how bad it was. We kept watching until the end because it was like a train wreck and we couldn't look away.
I think that this movie was definitely overhated it was overall a good movie my only issue was that we didn’t get to really know them apart from sersi but it was definitely one of the better movie to come out of phase 4
Overrated by whom?
Better than Shang Chi? No Way Home? Dr Strange 2? Guardians 3? This was probably only better than Thor 4. Bottom tier phase 4.
This movie was at the bottom...but then The Marvels came along and said hold my 🍺
@@havok6280 i said over hated not overrated and I didn’t say it was better than any of those in my opinion it was better than most of the mini series and some movies it’s my opinion if it’s not your cup of tea good for you me and a lot of other people from what I’ve seen liked it
@@buckybarnes7458
I like it also
Overhated isn't a word so I assumed it was a typo.
Again, this movie was at the bottom of phase 4. If you concede that it isn't better than the films I listed, it is by definition at the bottom. And if you throw in the TV shows, you think it's better than Wandavision and Loki? That is not an opinion held by "a lot of people". At least according to the IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes scores not to mention the box office. The fact that Disney nixed the sequel says they aren't high on this movie either.
This one should have been a Disney+ show. Too many characters and too much mythology to introduce in a two hour movie.
Also the reason for not helping against Thanos is nonsense. In the comics, Thanos had the deviant gene.
The reason for not helping with Thanos worked in the movie universe. In the MCU there is no "deviant gene" because Eternals and Deviants aren't related evolutionary branches of humanity. The MCU changed Deviants into an alien predatory species who looked reptilian and Eternals into synthetic beings manufactured and programmed aboard the World Forge.
This movie gets a bad rap. Not the best but still entertaining.
Movie was meh......there is some really good parts: like final fight, few characters: Starfox(Eros), Makkari, Dane Whitman(Black knight), Phaistos, Portrait of Celestials.....but was few bad things....TOO LONG end boring beginning, tooo much diversity in Eternals....Too much british!!! Bad performance of few actors: dude who played Druig was awful, Sersi should be powerful, brave not scary of everything, Ikaris as main villain(of course white dude)...and most people felt that isn't a MCU movie(Director fault)
Love you two but this was near impossible to watch. Spent the whole time mentioning game of thrones references that weren't game of thrones references. It's mega clear that y'all are currently watching GoT.
@13:42 what did she saaaay
This was definitely the first biggest MCU flop. Like, nobody liked watching this movie, and there were so many possibilities for there to be awesome scenes in this movie that they never used. Even Kumail Nanjiani got ripped for this movie, and they didn’t even give him 1 shirtless scene.
You're so mad lmao. Ps. You don't speak for everyone 😂
You = 🗑️🤡🗑️
You could tell that this could have been good but it failed to do anything compently.
I'm nobody, because I liked watching this movie ;)
@@josefhorndl3469 👍🏾👍🏾
I really liked the movie lol
The woke ideology was heavy in this one and it showed at the box office. Worst marvel movie until the marvels goes full woke and dethrones eternals as the worst marvel movie. The issue they deliberately punk every male character and make them weak or stupid. All the females are powerful and always has to save men. It would be fine and realistic if it happened maybe once or twice but now every film I just count every cringe scene and that never happened from iron man to endgame.
There was nothing "woke" about the Marvels. It was just a follow-up to the Ms Marvel series on Disney+ and didn't have any heavy-handed social messaging like the first Captain Marvel movie did. The Marvels was actually a pretty good, far more entertaining than most other Phase 4 projects. It's only major issue was a crappy villain, but that's nothing unique. IT flopped at the box office just because people expected it to be preachy (which it wasn't) and therefore didn't go see it,
i love eternals
