"Dense With Mythology" omg that is exactly what I want from Marvel. Action is wonderful, Marvel's low-key weapon is to spin world-building. We haven't seen such (another quote) "dense" material since blip moments in Guardians and little other moments here and there. From Loki ep 6 and the Ancient One's lessons to random comments about the MCU past in the films. Nothing like what I am expecting and hoping for with Eternals. I want action, I also want lots of things to unpack.

She also mentioned in her pitch that she wanted to show the infinite in the small things. John doesn't understand now comics work. Super human activity is part of the that universe. Like Tony said, the epic forces that Morgan has to deal with. There's even things like superhero insurance and a company that cleans up after batlles.

I’ve watched you guys for a few years, and I must say, I wish I could hear Schnepp’s thoughts on the movies we’ve had the last couple years. That man is missed. I’m looking forward to eternals. I’m not running out of the house to see it though. Dune and bond are first on my list. Thanks as always John.

The more I hear these reviews (minus Variety's because that's spoiler filled), the more my anticipation grows. It's a shame Jon Schnepp is no longer with us.

Rob is awesome. Love to hear his comments. Always.

I'm SO happy to hear how this film is being received. _So many_ hateful channels out there made it a point to crap on the casting, calling it "woke" and predicting and hoping for it's failure. They did the SAME THING for both _Black Panther_ as well as _Shang Chi,_ actively predicting their failure... and then ending up having to grudgingly back pedal once BOTH those films did better than expected. I don't understand why these people make SUCH a big deal when other races are cast. It doesn't affect the quality of the story and it's not hurting anything, but these channels and the people who support them seem to bizarrely take this as a "personal" attack. I remember one channel in particular said of _Dune_ in his review, "It has 'woke' casting but despite that it was a good film." Wow...really??

To your point I think that their reactions are appropriate in the MCU. They’ve seen Thanos, they’ve seen Thor and the Guardians and all these larger than life gods in their world. A monster on the streets or super beings isn’t really new to them. Realistically it’s an appropriate reaction

^this. The humans in the MCU mirror the humans in our reality. We've seen so many superhero movies, we've seen so many monster movies, we've seen so much CGI, that we're essentially jaded to all but the most novel or spectacular thing. Look at the chorus of people saying how sick they are of "comic book movies." John is yearning for a young, innocence that no longer exists. It'll be interesting if Marvel is attuned to this zeitgeist, and phase 4 will ride it to some conclusion.

Iron Man 3 wasn't a true Marvel movie either. It was a Shane Black movie.

I feel like Eteranls, irrespective of the commercial performance, will have a lukewarm response from the audience as in the case of Batman Begins, Watchmen, Cloverfield, etc. but with time and rewatching it will gain a Cult status.

Yes! Ive been wanting a series about people going through the snap. Imagine a dark series maybe it shows a different family every episode

Rob has me very very hyped for this with his reaction. I enjoy Comic Book films but I loooove thoughtful science fiction.

I disagree with johns take on, everyone has powers. The entire X-men franchise delved into that and it’s gonna drive him nuts when mutants are introduced. I feel like he’s basing marvel on Spider-Man alone, like he used as a description. Sure, Spider-Man is the neighborhood hero and they gawk and take photos in amazement. But, as a whole, the comics only used Spider-Man that way. Everyone else was known and world ending events happened daily. So it seems he’s basing it off movies and not the source.

I think he is probably right to base it off the movies and not the source. The movies evoke real life questions where comics very often have understanding that their plotline is like a bubble I'm very concerned that X-Men / mutants being a phenomenon in the general populace in the MCU as opposed to ridiculously rare (like one in several million) will wreck the relevance of the existing MCU characters. People will assume Black Panther is a mutant , Spidey, Thor , AntMan, Hawkeye (they'll think his vision is enhanced) and so on and if we are to believe the existence of mutants tears apart the fabric of society that will be what's at the forefront of the MCU, story arcs will come second unless they leave this as a conceit for a short time and then have mutants stop a calamity that would have ended Earth You have far more scope for longevity if there is a justice league or avengers where the members are from around the globe because it's just so uncommon to be this exceptional

Great observations and explanations without giving anything away Rob. Loved your perspective on the MCU. Also the living beings and their perspective of the cosmic events happening.

Love Robs thoughts! Can't wait!

Soon as marc said " a series about the humans reacting" I thought of Marvel's. A series with Phil Sheldon would be a great way to keep the mcu grounded an fresh

That was definitely the Great synapsis of a movie if ever heard! Genuinely

The MCU meets Prometheus with the engineers being the main characters sounds like an awesome movie to me. I'll probably be one of a few real Eternals fans in that theater.

About the giant running in the street, i saw a clip explaining why people weren't freaking out or why the street was coincidentally empty. Sprite creates illusions so the people not being there was her...also in the trailer, you can see she created countless of herself and cersie in that particular scene. Other than that, i totally agree with rob that they have to tell a story from the humans point of view.

She actually used Denis Villeneuve shots from Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 to pitch the movie, she said so.

The heroes with superpowers in the MCU are 100 at best. Earth's population in 2023 is like 8 billion people. The percentage is literally 0,00000125%. We are just seeing the movies with heroes in them. So stop this nonsense about every 7-11 having 4-5 superheroes in it. If you can't comprehend numbers, that's not the MCU's fault. Rob (as always) is spot on. The MCU started as our world but now it isn't. It's closer to the comics world than ever. People are aware that super powered heroes and villains exist. That's not good or bad. It's the natural evolution of a world full of marvels (amazing series that Rob mentions as well).

But, Kevin and his team aren't putting these characters because they want to and just say oh wow here's a Marvel character, let's put him or her in.

Great reaction - very interesting! :) Can't wait to see this! I must say, I understand the concerns and certainly would like an X-Files like show, though to a point I think AoS was that. Maybe an Agents of Sword show with Monica Rambeau, Darcy Lewis and Jimmy Woo. :) BUT in all honesty, as somone who never really read comics and who wondered what can they do after Thanos, I couldn't be more happy about the direction they are going. The movies and TV Shows are creating so many characters I care about - really taking the time to introduce new heroes and villains and fleshing them out that it offers such a wonderful and rich playground to play in. In the first phase they were so dependent on the characters and actors and they did the heavy lifting, but now the MCU can exist even when major characters exit like Cap, Iron Man and Black Panther. And wity what happened in Loki, which blew my mind, the door is always open for different versions of heroes or villains to reappear in a way that makes sense. It's incredible to me that they still manage to not drop the ball with this ever expanding universe, but for me they really haven't yet. And the important thing is that the new additions are human and emotionally connected. We have the more galactic stories, we have fantastical and magical realms, we have the quantum realm, we have multiverses, we will get Maya inspired 'Atlanteans', we have Wakanda and Madripoor. Very distinct and diverse settings. The movies are getting more inclusive and culturally sensitiv and carry a lot of RL importance with representation. I really can't wait for what they have planned. I am 31 and I am in awe with what they are doing. I marvel at what they have achieved - I don't think anything will be able to replicate this interconnected universe as much as they try - it's a unicorn.

Wow thanks for this spoiler free 20 min review/discussion

I disagree with John's point about overcrowding the MCU. In these movies, I have no attachment to the random NPC's. In The Avengers, I didn't care abour NYC, I cared about the Avengers and whether they survived. So with a cast of characters so damn huge, it makes the world feel lived in in a way that allows me to connect with a huge assortment of characters and get more invested in their stories

Great comments Robert. I am old enough to have read the 1st Eternals.

Awesome Review

Be funny if “Mad Jim Jaspers”, Rob Jefferson from Comics Explained favorite character, appears in the universe.

its a new take on mcu, refreshing after more than a decade of back to back content. its good thing actually because if everything happened on the same plate if will be saturated overpopulated, so mcu needs another separate plate to fill the table while continue to expand the size of the table as well.

The question posed by John about the MCU and his concerns with it becoming overcrowded.. and the subsequent response by Rob was some of the best discussion and analysis of the MCU I’ve heard in a while.. as a mega MCU fan I admit I often think how if I lived in this world I’m sure I would become so desensitized from all of the craziness at this point that it wouldn’t feel as awe inspiring and epic as it should.. Rob is 100% correct the MCU needs something to ground it back down to a human level and give some heart felt perspective of what the average person is going through.. in a similar note I’ve seen people discussing something about the MCU Spider-Man movies and what they were missing (I personally think they are great and I love them but this would be a really good idea) and that is the people of New York backing and showing love for their hero. The other movies had these moments where everyday NY citizens ended up saving/showing appreciation for the hero in a very emotional and inspiring way. Not having stuff like this in the MCU kinda makes the world feel detached in a way… one of my fav scenes from Infinity war actually was when Tony went out on the street and was helping and checking on people before going to fight maw and obsidian

RMB is exceptional.

First time I'm hearing it described as action packed. Others at the premiere have said it's a very low level action movie that only cranks it up just a bit but not on the level of Shang Chi or other Marvel movies. VERY interesting.

Your frustration about to much extraordinary in the mcu, I actually enjoy that because it feels like the comics. Like an extraordinary world.

I am an above average marvel movie guy..and i like typical marvel movies but for a change i am really excited for something new..i didn't know about these characters but for some reasons i am really excited for this and to see new super heroes...

I haven't seen the movie yet, but has a big Marvel comic's book fan and collector I can say that The Eternal in comics are also different than the Avengers or X-mens or Guardians etc in almost every. So I believe the it makes sense that The Eternal looks different than everything we saw in MCU until now. I'm looking forward to see it very soon.

17:11 Great idea Bob

In regards to John's fear of overpopulation dulling the wonder in the mundane, I think that we can look to how people reacted to the increasing population of superheroes in comics. The comics will always be more overpopulated than our films, because our films are based on comic properties. If people in general don't get tired of overpopulation in comics, they will adapt to the increasing roster in film. What MCU looks like it is doing is following the precedent set by comics. When a planet is too small to contain the characters, bring in the galaxy. When the galaxy is too small, bring in the universe. When the universe is too small, bring in the multiverse. And if the comics are able to maintain a sense of wonder while having a FAR larger shared universe, the films theoretically can too. It also opens interesting story opportunities. In a world where gods walk openly, the mundane IS extraordinary. Maybe that is the real hidden lesson of comic and movie universes: we spend so much time looking for the wonder in the mundane that we may forget that the mundane itself is a thing of wonder.

Marvels would be amazing. The 198 and Morlocks series' as well. The Order of The SHEILD on Disney+ would cover the bases Rob mentioned.

Watched it with my husband we both liked it but wish they had done more with the diviants becoming more aware.
