- In this series, we look at the characters behind the Marvel Snap cards, recapping their origin, their powers, looking at how well they fit their card, and giving you something to read.
In this video we focus on debatably the most popular Eternal, Sersi.
Comic Sersei is like, Amora the Enchantress, but good, and MCU Sersei is like, benevolent goddess who walks among us.
What I find kinda funny is that before the movie, Sersei's modern art looked kinda like Rosario Dawson.... With Crystal of the Inhuman Royal Family hair.
No mention of the third most famous Cersei/Sersei, Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones.
I had a feeling someone would make this comparison as she does give off those vibes of that character in particular.
Comics Sersi is a fun feisty character. The MCU version was really watered down though Gemma Chan did her best.
Sersi as a card is amazing btw. I played a pretty basic progression for the deck she's in- Electro into Sersi, except I did it on Kamar-Taj, where there was already a squirrel token. I played Odin on turn 6, and by the end Squirrel and Electro had turned into Rock Slide and Legion, and ended up as Orka and Skaar. Every location was Kamar-Taj, my opponent had 6 Rocks in their deck, and a couple other things had happened along the way. It was a bonkers game.
Of course to balance that out she's created Modok at least once, and I still don't care. I adore this card.
I know that line-up of the Avengers she and Black Knight were on is far from the best -or- most popular, but I have a soft spot for it as that was who the line-up was when I started getting into the title.
That title is literally all I could think of when my husband asked who Sersi is. "Uhhh, she joined the Avengers?"
He wasn't one of the "official" Eternals but Starfox was on the Avengers first and he's an Eternal from Titan. I think he was a pretty good fit for a while.
Insert obligatory comment about how mind-boggling it is that ikaris isn’t in this season
Dude I still can’t believe that!!!
They’re saving him for the next eternals season so they still have someone interesting
I really liked the sweeping scope of The Eternals.
She sounds fun as does her card
12:34 Uh, looks like she stole Crystal's signature hairstyle.
Crystal also was with Black Knight for a time (although then married to Pietro, yes I'm still not over that).
@@ProjektTaku I'm curious now, how do you feel about Ronan?
@@alefalf197 fine I guess as, from my recollection, Crystal already annulled her and Pietro's marriage, although still kind of annoying to have her get married to The Accuser so shortly after his divorce. Quicksilver cannot catch a break man.
I thought the Eternals movie was fine, it had really good points and some pretty bad points. But I do think it would have at least been a little more enjoyable had Sersi had the lighter, more fun attitude she has in the comics. It seemed like Kingo was the only character who didn't mope his way through the whole thing.
It says nonliving even in the movie, but you see her making flower petals and turning a Deviant into a tree before the UniMind part of the movie.
Love the card! Just got it. Are you going to make the videos about older cards?
As a big Gaiman fan, I never liked his Eternals run. I liked the movie a lot more than the comic.
The Eternals movie had to do what they did, to make their context within the MCU at least plausible. They probably overdid keeping them mellow for too much of the movie, but when you have what are arguably the most powerful superbeings in the world, you have to explain why the heroes we know never encountered them and why they didn't help save the world/universe in the big universe destruction story you just told.
They are new casual datamine eternals variants
Nando the GOAT
11:36 In Bloodties Dane somehow recalls he already met Exodus, but he can't remember exactly when, nor who exactly he is.
I never understood why, since the story ended without that bit was explained, so...
Man, Kirby’s eighth pass at the New Gods is…tough to care about
I don’t have an issue with the MCU reimagining characters, but Sersi of all the Eternals… It’s like they knew she’s the most famous one so they made her the protagonist, yet also stripped her of the qualities that made her interesting to begin with. Every single other one I get in some way, there was a method to it, but with her it’s like they thought to just make her a very vanilla heroine instead of the fun one she originated as… why!? Don’t they know we love these character types that she is?
I don’t hate the archetypal hero that was presented, but… why make *Sersi* of all of them that? It’s such a waste of Gemma Chan’s talents, too… and this after casting her as a more complex villain from the comics - Minn Erva - who was also stripped of her nuance and stupidly killed off for reasons I don’t get.
4:20 was that spider-man
Nice
When are we getting a Captain atom video
mother
Was my comment deleted from this video?
17:35 definitely not an attack but more opening up conversation, as a person blazing my way through krakoa right now, trying to get caught up, I found AXE to be incredibly lackluster in terms of comic events of a similar scale. Especially considering Devil’s reign came out the same year, an event that in my personal opinion is leagues ahead in quality. I personally felt that while the event was not actively bad or unpleasant, it was definitely carried by the character tableaus of heroes and villains being judged near the end of the book. I did not feel that the rest of the overarching story was all that gripping, and certain tie-ins like starfox and iron fist felt incredibly bland to me although that may be more personal than some of my other issues. All in all, I’d say outside of the X-men main line books in the event, I didn’t find AXE to be all that great, but I’m interested to see if anyone (including Nando if you’re seeing this) would be able to enlighten me to a different perspective
I found AXE to be one of the better events from the past... Decade? An amazing character piece and probably the best illustration of how powerful the mutants were within the Krakoan era. Event after event have been absolutely terrible (Knull, whatever the Ben Reilly one was, etc).
But from your points I think we're looking for vastly different things from our comics. No shade.
@@Heimal totally valid, and to your point, I don’t necessarily have any affinity for the eternals as a concept, and the mutant parts of the book were easily the best parts. I appreciate your perspective :)
Can u do something on korvac plz
She was the evil queen of Westeros.
My secret theory is that the base art for most of the Marvel Snap cards is intentionally underwhelming to encourage you to buy variants
Honestly, some base art cards are really well made and better than many of their variants, imho.
@@myrmidon7 honestly I think they're mostly just pretty bland, rather than actively bad (there are exceptions though; I find both Black and White Widow genuinely upsetting to look at)
Not a great secret if you give it away in youtube comments
Cat.
So alternate universe Black Knight is the ultimate incel....
:I(D
Movie ruined her.
