There is so much information that is in this movie that is so compressed and for me that is why it is not everyone's favorite, for me this would have been so much better as a tv series that is at least two seasons long but that would never happen in order to do a series with these justices, it would need a big box office with money behind them so that the special effects would be of sufficiently high quality, for me this is not a bad film and is not among my top 3 worst Marvel films.

The worst film? You must not have seen Captain Marvel or The Marvels then, and I really liked this movie, it would have been better to have made a series, as it was a lot to absorb at once.

The voice at the end that asks Dane if he really wants to touch the Black Knight sword is not Nick Fury. It's Blade.

The man who plays Gilgamesh, is Ma Dong-seok, who played Sang-hwa in ‘Train To Busan’, the husband of the pregnant woman.

That's a shame about Shang-Chi, but I think you made the right decision. Re: Eternals, I truly don't understand how people can consider this the worst Marvel movie. No it's not perfect, and it definitely has its problems (mostly pacing), but it's also a beautiful love letter to humanity, with interesting and cool (IMO) characters and some gorgeous cinematography. I liked it a lot, personally.

Black Knight and Sersi were important Avengers at one point. I certainly would like to see them on the team.

mad wyry is just a memory overload. She remembers too much for one brain, so she gets disrupted and goes back to a previous-life... but when she's about to die in that life. That's why she mumbles things about dying planets.

This movie was a character study, instead of the usual action movie that most Marvel movies are. The movie is about the inter-personal relationships of the characters, and the conflict is this disagreement over what to do once they learned about Tiamut's emergence. Since it was different, a vocal minority expressed their dislike and try to make this the prevailing opinion, so Marvel won't make another movie like it.

What is interesting is nothing else that has happened in the MCU or any character in the MCU has any influence on the story. They did have to mention Thanos and why they did nothing for the audience then it was just jokes at the dinner table. The Celestial is a bit in other MCU movies, Nowhere is the head of a dead one, Star-Lord father is a Celestial but so little has been explained so if Arishem was something else it would not have changed this movie. This course does not include anything from the comics like that Thanos is an Eternal-Deviant hybrid I think it and Moon Knight are equally independent of the MCU. I like both of them and the theme is quite similar as a reflection of who someone really is when the discover an unknown part of themselfe. I wonder what the reception would have been if the was made independently and not as part of the MCU. I think for both the connection is a drawback because they are so different. At the same time that they are a part of MCU is quite a lot of free marketing.

This movie showcases a speedster the best. When she’s fighting Icarus, the look of her speed power in real time is a rare look for superhero speedsters.

The one thing about this move is I absolutely adore Kingo as a character. He feels maybe the most 'real' of any Marvel character. There's an old trope of good guys go "bad" and "ends justify means" and hard lines being drawn. And it's very refreshing to have a character who says "I believe in you guys, but not enough to fight my family." Because that would be hard. To have a close friend for your entire (extended) life. It'd be difficult to fight them and potentially kill them no matter your beliefs.

I realised... the story of Icarus was of a person who flew too close to the sun, right? and Arishem was the Celestial who created the first sun. Which is its own foreshadowing because Ikaris is too close to Arishem's plan which is why he turned on his fellow Eternals

@Whalewraith

5 ай бұрын

Is it artistic license or did Ikarus fly into the sun in about 5 minutes? Because that would certainly allow him to out speed Makari.

The implication of Thanos brother being an Eternal is that Thanos is then also an Eternal. The theory about it is that Thanos got Mad Wyry, and that is why he wanted to kill half of all living things in the universe, to prevent the birth of more Celestials which would destroy those worlds (and thus kill all the living things on them). Thanos wanted to kill enough life to prevent the Celestials getting enough life energy to be born.

There are levels of connectivity of what is to come in the MCU that are being stacked and will come together. Dane and the Sword are connected to the Dark supernatural in Marvel. As to the voice you thought was Fury, that is the Voice of the Vampire Hunter, Blade, who knows of that darker supernatural in Marvel (Dr Strange, the Scalet Witch, etc.). We are still in the build up in the Multiverse and the Galactic expanse of a grander story.

I really love this movie, the Cosmic stakes and personalities. It really brings a lot of imagination fuel. I am disappointed that there's been no crossovers with anything else to date, so the potential from both after credit scenes have gone unrealized, but the rumor is that the dead Celestial will be very important in the next Captain America movie, as the governments of the world try to lay claim to the minerals in it. Arasham's appearance in the sky at the end probably spawned several new religions. A terrifying moment for the half of the world that was facing that way.

fun fact: Druig's beaded bracelet (on his left wrist with his leather jacket) is actually Makkari's! Chloé herself confirmed to me Druig likes to "borrow" from Makkari from time to time (and took her bracelet). I love that detail, and that he still has it after all this time, especially since their relationship wasn't planned in the script at all, was added last minute to the film and Barry and Lauren improvised most of it! (Originally, it was supposed to be Druig and Sersi before Chloé saw Barry and Lauren's chemistry! 🤗)

I actually really liked this one and don't get the hate.

The reasonable poeple that didn't like it, like myself, won't deny you having the right to like it. I also like some trash movies. But imo nobody can not argue that there are too many characters with too little time to even care remotely about any of them. The Eternals, the Celestials, the Deviants. They wasted Salma Hayek on what, 2? flashbacks, the Deviant villain is arguably one of the worst in the entire MCU, even with people like Modok and The Marvels ones and imo the pacing is horrible. I watched it on DVD and i fell asleep after like 50 minutes. I am not a comic reader, but i usually read up on characters i don't know before going to the movie (like with GotG) and here we go again with the race-,gender,-whatever swapping and they did Icarus dirty. Not to mention that this movie is almost 3 years old, and no following movie or series has even mentioned them, or the celestial sticking out of earth.

Marvel did a better Justice League movie than DC did with this one and most ppl don't realize it. Oh, and madwyry is when the mind collapses because the mind can't handle centuries of memories, thus collapses on itself. And No, Druig didn't kill those ppl. He interved using mind control to make them stop fighting.

Music composed by Ramin Djawadi, who composed Iron Man, the first ever MCU Film. Also Gemma Chan who played Sersi, this ain’t her first MCU movie. She was also in Captain Marvel. She played the female Kree soldier. But I can’t remember the character’s name. And Tiamut helped the eternals kill him, because while he was growing in the earth, he was aware of everything that was happening in the world. Like Ajak and Sersi, he also loved the humans and he didn’t want them to die

That is part of the problem I have always had with the Eternals. "the eternals are the inspiration of some known myths and legends on earth" Except we have already established years earlier that these myths and legends were in fact based on real beings. Thor and the entire Norse pantheon. Hercules, Zeus and the entire Greek pantheon. The Egyptian pantheon (Bast in Black Panther and pretty much the rest of them in Moon Knight). In the comics, a lot of these beings had been around for many years before Jack Kirby came back to Marvel with his ideas about the Eternals. So the Eternals didn't inspire anything, other that the borrow the names of other god-like beings that already existed and make life confusing when Athena is a real character but so is Thena and they both have similar stories.

I love this film. One of my favorite marvel films because it’s so different. It’s a love letter to humanity. For a director to introduce us to Sonny new characters and so many places in history and time, and to still feel connected to these brand new characters is impressive. Yes it’s a bit rushed, but considering what Chloe Zhoe accomplished in this film is miraculous. Bravo! Aweome reaction Emme!!

I always find it strange that people overwhelmingly feel the Eternals were the “good guys” in this movie. They were the one fighting against the circle of existence by thwarting the birth of a Celestial. Sacrificing the many for the few. But eh I guess it it what it is

This is definitely not the worst Marvel Movie, although that was the opinion of some when Eternals first release. I agree that it is probably mostly at the fault that the concept would have worked far better as one of their TV shows to give it longer length to develop the characters. And I agree that it had quite a different tonal feel that didn't deliver the usual Marvel Movie feel, leaving some disappointed I suppose. The worst Marvel movies are still yet to come, but even those still have their fans. So we'll just have to see how you feel about them when you see them yourself.

This movie is the most underrated Marvel movie. Intro to some great characters, beautiful cinematography, almost perfect cgi (after everyone sh*t on phase 4 cgi), very cool power sets and costumes, etc. It is very dense (maybe overly) and subtle with its themes but that just means there’s a lot to appreciate, especially on multiple watches. It’s just so unique and subversive, it’s definitely not a carbon copy of so many other superhero pitfalls that I can’t help but appreciate it.

This movie gets better every rewatch.

I always liked Eternals. It's always cool to be introduced to a whole new group of heroes like the Illuminati but with Eternals, we got a whole movie version of it instead of cameos.

They were upset about the diversity within this cast. That's why the film was getting hate.

I like this movie. As a long time comics reader, there are a few things I didn't like but but overall It was good. People complain that Marvel movies feel the same. Then when they do something different they complain it doesn't feel like the other movies. You can always find something to nitpick about every movie made but people these days feel like their opinion is the only one that matters.

This is not the worst MCU movie, not by a long shot. That "honor" goes to Thor; Love and Thunder. While I don't know how anyone could argue with that someone probably will.

This movie is a love affair to mythology and history nerds. It’s the movie that caters least to the more childlike side of the genre, overall. It’s also a kind of riff on the whole “ancient aliens” shtick. If you instantly recognize Babylon, or the “war” that finally sends Druig over the edge, you’ll probably like this movie better than the average person did. If you understand the mythological references, like the speedster being the basis for the Greco-Roman “god of thieves” (among other things) because Sprite has been telling stories about her family across time, it’s a bit of a kick. The major flaw, imo, is the lack of real chemistry in the relationship the whole story eventually turns upon. Other relationships worked much better with far less screen time. And I honestly think putting two GOT actors in a movie with a character with a certain name was going to be a distraction. But I have a very heretical take on this particular franchise. This is the best iteration of the story. The original was sexist trash, Gaiman’s version set the stage for this one. But I, frankly, like the gender swaps. The original story by Kirby had a character who was nothing more than the scientist’s damsel daughter. Of course, I also blame Kirby for making Sue Storm (of the Fantastic Four) a useless bad stereotype for the first several years of her existence. It’s definitely not for everyone. But it’s an example of Marvel “doing something different” and getting shit on for it.

I think this movie is better than some of the other newer properties we've gotten. I do agree though. This movie would have been better as an extended disney+ show. The other big thing i didnt like was the lack of chemistry between sersi and ikaris. Although you can probably say that the lack of chemistry could be due to the fact that they hadnt seen each other in a long time. But the other Eternals couples had way better chemistry. Haha. Makkari and Druig Gilgamesh and Thena. In the sequel, we will probably see Gilgamesh and Ajak again. Since the MCU is showing the Eternals are essentially androids so they can always come back. Both of those actors also signed a multi movie contract when they were brought in. I also cant wait to see Blade (the lead actor is alumnus of my college)..hehe. He spoke at my graduation in 2016. And also ryan coogler who did the black panther movies is also a graduate of my college. :)

This movie had a couple big things against it that actually had very little to do with the quality of the movie itself. It had an indie director doing an MCU film, so all the artsy film snobs hated it on principle. It had a VERY diverse cast, so all the anti-diversity backlash people hated it. It's very different from all the MCU films that came before it. All together it was a recipe for disaster. But clearly, on its own merits, it is nowhere near the worst MCU film.

I'm bummed to hear about Shang Chi as I was really looking forward to seeing you react to that one. One of my favorites. I did enjoy Eternals, I think this may have been better served as a Disney Plus series to give each character more time to develop, and perhaps expand on each adventure the group had in different times in history.

All the hate is because of two main reasons is that it is too long and people said it's different from the rest but it is stupid reason because every marvel movie is always different like GOTG is a sci-fi comedy and Dr. Strange is a fantasy sci-fi movie. People are getting too dramatic these days. Also, each eternal is separate in two teams, like five of them are the Thinkers and the other five is the Fighters. I really like this movie because love the cosmic side of marvel and the mythology of it.

its not a spoiler because they annouced it later after that movie came out that the mysterious voice at the end of 2nd credit scene i Maharshala Ali who i mean for now will play Blade. Great actor

I literally don't remember one thing about this movie and I watched it more recently than when it was released.

There have been much worse marvel movies than this

I think there are two things Marvel could have done with the Eternals to make a better story. First of, they could have made it a series on Disney+ where the episodic format would feel more natural. Another thing they should have done is base it on a comic from 2006 that Neil Gaiman wrote. That series reintroduced the Eternals to the Marvel universe by revealing that something wiped the memories of the group members and they lived normal lives as humans. Using this setup would allow the audience to learn about the Eternals in a more organic way than all the exposition dumps this movie has and would require much less mental gymnastics to justify them being absent during the events of past movies

Never understood the hate for this film tbh, there arent many Marvel films that ive immediately hit replay after the film finished, this was one of them

I did not hate this movie. The people that hate this movie are the same people who hate Andor... I leave that up to people to think about why.

Thank you for this reaction. ETERNALS is a much abused and very important Phase IV film. Right after seeing LOKI SE01, where we are told that the Multiverse was sanctioned and controlled by He Who Remains, an immortalized human being from the 31st-century living in a citidel on an asteroid at the End of Time (a variant of Nathaniel Richards), ETERNALS presents yet another and seemingly CONTRADICTORY Marvel Genesis-creation myth. A host of questions follows: does the Prime Celestial Arishem the Judge know about the Kangs/He Who Remains and the TVA? If so, do they care? Or is He Who Remains above the Celestials? That seems hard to grasp... so how do these apparently disparate elements in the tapestry of story that is the MCU relate? The Eternals Sersi and Eros/Starfox (brother of Thanos) are both Avengers in the Marvel comics. Apparently, the Eternals who starred in this film were not the first to realize their freedom from the Celestials. As we see with Phastos on Earth, on Planet Titan, Eternals took relations with the indigenous apex species. That explains how Eros is a "brother" to Thanos. Also of note is that Deviants were presented somewhat unfairly in this movie. They don't only predate indigenous species of the worlds they invade, but somehow intermix with them, sharing Deviant DNA. Then a deviant-mutant line is produced with the Deviant DNA that out-competes their non-Deviant relatives. This is how the Skrulls became shapeshifters. And this explains Thanos -- he is not just a Titan, but a mutant Titan with Deviant DNA. And on earth, this Deviant DNA is the X-gene and explains the mutants. Another Avenger featured in ETERNALS is Dane Whitman. the Black Knight. His ancestor was ancestor Sir Percy of Scandia, a knight of the Round Table in Camelot. His family is cursed with the Ebony Blade. That's yet to play out... The voice speaking to Whitman is Eric Brooks, the Day-Walker vampire known as Blade.

before I watch this reaction just wanna say as far as the Eternals is concerned, I really liked the movie. Probably because it reminded me of just a super hero group movie which I seem to appreciate and wasn't aware of the negativity until after I had watched it. With that said, love the continued MCU reactions.

Thank you for your honesty about Shang Chi movie. It does show how genuine & trustful person you are.

I liked you reading the first moments of the movie. It was really relaxing. You should record audiobooks.

Ikaris immediately give me you know who vibes. Someday I wanna get a WWHD? bracelet.

I wish they make more films like Eternals, this is a great one.

I think the flaw in the movie was that they wanted to make an Avengers ensemble movie without all the back story movies first. It's not the Worst, but it is a lot to slog through.

Shang-Chi is a movie I bet most of us have seen. Why not watch it again, but instead of reacting, just hang out with a live "re-view?" Also, there are over 10 quintillion lives alone just in insects! (10 followed by 18 zeros.) Add to that plant, fungus, bacteria, land animals, etc. and that is a lot of life! This was not the worse Marvel film.... Any of the Hulk movies, or Thor: Love and Thunder are worse. (It is just me, but I also throw in any of the Guardian movies as well....) Both Icarus and Dane are played by two actors who starred in Game of Thrones (GoT). They played "brothers".The actress who plays their "sister" in GoT is married to Harry Styles. This was much more pleasant than I remember, and I wonder if it was more fun this time thanks to your commentary! So thanks!

MCU in this phase is in their best creative mode and just like any kind of media, most people are boring and they like to enjoy things that are safe and comfortable because it's something that they are familiar of. I experience this with my fav musicians and bands when they evolve into something more and great while the old fans bitch and whine about how much they change. They hide behind excuses like "I dont mind change if it's good" when they dont realize it's their own weakness that makes it feel bad. Now when I watch MCU, I excited for something new and unpredictable. Glad you like the movie. No superhero movie is perfect but I like The Eternals too.

One of the most unpopular marvel movies

The reason people didn't really like this movie, is mainly because they introduced so many characters at once and so much was shoehorned into the movie. Which is absolutely a fair criticism. It's essentially an Avengers level cast/movie in terms of how many people there are and the level of danger. Think of it as if the MCU started off with Age of Ultron, they start of right away with the main 6, then introduce 3 new characters and kill one of them off. I feel that it would have worked better as a series, with an episode dedicated to the arc of each Eternal and the finale being the events of the Movie in an extra long episode. Also for Arishem, they are known as "The Judge" and in short judges if a species gets to live or die. Tiamut being in Earth, Arishem and the Deviants going to Earth are about as close as this movie comes to the comics in outside of the Eternals themselves. In the comics, Tiamut goes to Earth, but decides to betray his mission to the Celestials and is trapped underneath Diablo Range, CA as punishment until he is discovered by a member of the Deviants (probably the talking one in the movie?) and his power is unleashed causing Arishem to come to judge Earth. Arishem also doesn't judge as a whole, he judges each individual and says that if there are more good than evil, he will let us live. But if there is more evil than good, then Earth is toast. There is a storyline in the comics that is ongoing(?) at the moment that has Arishem as the main villain against the Avengers and the rest of Earth's heroes, so we could see an Avengers movie about him in the future.

Ok... so the end credit thing with Harry Styles being the brother of Thanos... this means Thanos was an eternal. In the comics Thanos is half Eternal and half deviant (not sure how that would work here and they haven't said that in the movies). That's why he was super strong and tough, those were his eternal super powers. It's been confirmed by Marvel that Thanos' planet of Titan was destroyed in the emergence of a celestial just like Earth almost was in this movie. When Thanos and the other eternals of his planet figured out what was going on, he came up with a different plan than turning the celestial to rock or putting it to sleep... he knew that if half the population of the planet were gone there would not be enough resources for the Celestial to emerge (that is why him doing the snap 5 years before this put off the emergence on earth). But they didn't follow his plan of wiping out half the intelligent life on the planet and the emergence happened and now it is all broken apart, gravity is messed up and everyone is dead as we say in Infinity War. That's what drove Thanos mad. It broke him to lose everything he loved and imbedded in his mind the only way to stop other celestial emergences was to wipe out half of life all over the place. It's the reason he collected the infinity stones and did the snap as he knew he couldn't make it to all the planets. So he really was wiping out half the people to save the other people (no idea why the population wouldn't just double in a generation or so as it is want to do, but whatever... he's mad). Not arguing that 'Thanos was right' here, though he had a point... just not one he made well or seems like the best plan to me. But it explains a lot of why Thanos did what he did and what made him into the Mad Titan.

people didnt dislike this move they just have very, VERY hard feelings about prequels, give it time.

He did the same thing with The Inhumans. We won't even go into the plot holes like not doing a damn thing to stop Thanos; you'd think wiping out half the intelligent creatures in the galaxy would put a crimp in creating Celestials.

It should have been its own thing.

With their names sounding familiar, it's because the idea is that these beings have been around so long that they inspired myths.

This is not the worst marvel movie. It's just people don't like Eternals because it's so different from other MCU movies, but the casting, cinematography, fight scenes, cgi, and story is amazing! The worst marvel movie is Thor love & thunder and Ms. Marvel (There's a lot actually) Eternals deserve better.

*Hey Emme, did you know that Thanos is also an Eternal? His parents were both Eternals. You might be wondering, “Why does Thanos look like a purple potato?” Well, Thanos has a genetic disorder that turned him into a purple giant. This disorder is known as “Eternal Deviant Syndrome” Do you remember that quote from the Hawkeye series, “Thanos Was Right!”? I also believe that Thanos was trying to save Earth and other planets in the universe by controlling population growth.*

I absolutely agree that the style of this film was different compared to other MCU films and the lack of films that covered the back story of the characters did very much complicate matters. This isn't an MCU film that I hate. In my opinion, there are others that are complete car crashes compared to this one.

one of my favourite mcu films, I really enjoyed it. hope to see Ikaris resurrected and go against Arishem.

I didn't think Eternals was great, but I did enjoy it. If anything, it felt a bit too ambitious for a single movie. When it came out, one of my friends thought Eternals being a Disney+ series and Falcon & Winter Soldier being a movie (instead of the other way around) would have benefited both of them. One theory I saw for Sprite being stuck as a child is that she wouldn't be seen as a threat when arriving in new locations. She'd go first and start telling stories about the others so that they would be accepted when they arrived.

(Un-bliping gave enough energy (people) for the emergence to start.) Enjoyed your reaction! Thanos had a Deviant Gene (purple skin). You are my favorite Ohio-an(?)/ person from Ohio!

I loved this movie but where do they go from here.I really would like to see another one.And yup that definitely sounded like Nick Fury !!

Your reaction at 22:46 😂😂

Whoever claims this is the worst Marvel movie needs to go back and re-watch some of the others. Thor 2, Iron Man 3, even The Marvels is worse than Eternals by a lot. It's opinion of course, but Marvel still plans on doing a sequel.

I so couldn't get behind the hate for this movie. I legit really enjoyed it, it dared to be something different from the others. And Makkari's superspeed was legit the best that I've ever seen superspeed in tv/movies

This movie has better moral stakes than any other Marvel movie.

So again... for all those wondering why people think this this is a dumb movie: Imagine a situation where there are predators... and your solution is HEY! Let's get rid of those predators by sending MORE predators! Yeah... that is literally the plot.

In comics the defiants tried to enslave humanity. They over ran the planet. The celestials genetically engineered early primitive primates. Made them capable of fighting back and hunting down the deviants. Both species live apart from humanity underground cities. In one deviant city they live together.

This movie is only underrated because it produces a finality. Don't worry. Execs are trying to finance prequels as we speak.

7:16 I believe it's the opposite actually, there are so many things modern science get wrong about the ancient life, it would be so enfuriating to walk among so many wrong ideas all the time. 21:03 The Implication is that the myths we have are inspired by the Eternals. so according to this, Ikaris is the correct name, and over time the story changed the name to Ikaros

Dane whitman is black knight and that was the ebony blade no that wasn’t nick fury’s voice it’s blade

_eternals_ is a great film. the ikaris/sersi romance has no chemistry, but other than that...

I'm finding it somewhat amusing about all the issues that were had about having too many characters introduced at once, and not enough time to flesh them all out in the way MCU fans were accustomed. That is exactly what happened with X-Men, and there were no complaints then, or since. Of course, we are now all awaiting their arrival in the MCU. :)

This movie was great. The effects, the story, the cast (Marvel _really_ knows how pick their actors), how they worked history into it (another thing they're good at, such as in "Ms Marvel" and "Echo"). Don't know how I feel about Harry Styles/Starfox, but I'll wait and see how that goes😄. Along with the rest of the "worst" MCU films and series, this is one I've watched a few times already.

I think the popular consensus on this one... Is spot on. These characters are mostly lifeless and that's a shame. The actors are good but this tale is flat all around and making the Eternals seemingly immortal androids and then, space magic, they also can turn human? It's muddled all around and it robbed the Celestials of their comic origin importaance in the MCU. It's gorgeous to look at no diubt but that's not eniugh for me.

In my opinion, this story would have done a lot better as a series.

of all the movies in phase four i was so stoked to see you react to.. TWO movies...guess what those two movies were😂😂😂 edit: Glad you have seen it twice i guess😄

Honestly,, I actually liked it as well. I think part of the reason people didn't like it was because of the amount of exposition that was necessary to set up the movie. But I felt like I understood the characters and their individual motivations.

This movie literally justifies Thanos as a hero for remaining life rather than villain for dead ones. Still the hate though😢😢😢

I interpreted the Mahd Wrhy or however it's spelled as an extreme sort of PTSD in a way. Not a 1 to 1 comparison, but kinda similar.

It wasn't as bad as people said, but they massively underpowered them and it could have been better. For instance, in comics, All of them have all of the powers you see, and more. They just each have a specialty they've focused on for eons that becomes their strongest power

It's actually one of my personal favorite MCU films that were released after Endgame, although I agree that it would've been better off as a series.

So you’re not going to upload your Shang-Chi reaction on KZread?

Note my tone is playful, not accusatory, but to nitpick youd have to call it the worst MCU movie (if you think it is). Because the SONY Marvel movies still exist. And Morbius is the worst Marvel movie. And Im including the Placeholder Fantastic Four movie that they made to just maintain the rights that gets used as a joke in sitcoms like Arrested Development.

@@dracoargentum9783 Oh Bro I'm not even talking about F4. F4 was a masterpiece compared to Fantastic 4 1992 by Roger Corman (which is the one they reference in Arrested Development etc, it was basically a home movie made simply to maintain ownership over the rights which were acquired EXTREMELY CHEAP in the late 1980s) The movie was made SOLELY as a placeholder and was never even intended to be released, but so long as they could prove they were TRYING to use it, they could maintain their hold over the rights. F4 looks like the Lord of the Rings next to 1992 Fantastic Four. And I maintain it was better than Morbius. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6CE07uqddupYLw.html

I really liked Eternals, but I guess the themes where too high concept and thus many people simply did not understood it. Or if the got the leitmotif of taking accountability for one's life and decision was something the right wingers could not accept.

I think if they had done this as a series, it would’ve been better for me. I think that they really put way too much into the movie, and didn’t spend much time on the characters or their history.

The negative stuff helped me enjoy The Eternals a bit more. I definitely didn't hate it, but it could have been much better.

I'm in the "I liked it" camp, it's way better than Thor 4 (the only Marvel movie I'll never watch again!), lol. I'm also torn about making them artificial, I'm pretty sure they're organic in the comics...and that they gave raise to mutants....

Meh, just switch “First” with “Second” and it’s all good. Rarely anyone has ever gone to a second time watching and they remember all the spoils [unless this is a day-after rewatch] Heck, we’d rather watch your opinions and reaction to a movie that you have seen dozens of times, than skipping a movie. [after all, a person gets opinions about what they watch a dozen times]
