jesus christ i've been 100% on board since IM1 and have more than a bit of grounding in comics through the years but this seems to be leaning toward getting unwieldy for casuals and even semi-casuals. That video was a bit much.

That's a deep dive into the 70's comics. Cool as hell for a modern YouTube vid in my book.

Anyway, the classic Marvel lore is great. If you fuck up a movie based on it, that's your fault not the source material.

Didn't hate it, and it was a far cry from being Thor 2 levels of bad, but I would place it on the weaker end of MCU films. Felt like they were trying to fit way too much in the runtime of a single movie, so none of the elements had time to breathe, robbing things of their impact--'oh no, this character we've known for like five minutes died; how terrible.' I feel like this needed to be two movies: one that was purely historical, doing the whole 'the Eternals throughout history' thing, then a second one with them getting the band back together in the modern day.

RT user score is irrelevant right now. Why? Surprise!!! RT is, surprise!, manipulating it on behalf of Dickupyoursney. There's way too few reviews, they are filtering out the "bad" ones. And I question the legitimacy of the positive ones, a bunch of generic 5/5 crap (botted?, shills?).
And before someone comes and says "fixed that for you", here it is: RT is irrelevant.And I can't argue that.

Here's the end of the movie, if anyone cares. First video also shows last 15 minutes of the movie & the 1st after credits scene. 2nd video shows 2nd after credits.

Is this a bad movie or a bad mcu movie?

Mid-tier MCU origin movie with a lot of new characters and really big concepts (Celestials, cosmic MCU stuff). YMMV how that translates. Might go watch it again later this week myself.

he probably is asking how this ranks as a movie in general as opposed to an MCU film that Marvel fanbois circlejerk over.

It was a very dull movie. If action is your thing, you won't find much inside of this one. It's primarily a talking movie with neat visuals to aid in the talking story.
There are some fight sequences, but I think the only reason they exist was because Disney knew people wouldn't buy into a Marvel movie that had nothing but story. It was very boring for me, and that's a shame. I love Marvel movies, but this was a bust in my opinion.

On the upside, Gemma, the hot asian, is turning 39 at the end of this month. And she's gorgeous for being so old. Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie and Selma Hayek are showing their wear marks. They aren't the hot younger versions of our masturbatory past.

And Angelina was never "hot", but she was pretty. She's still pretty, but age is there. Hayek, on the other hand, is very grandmotherly now.

To whoever has seen this, are the Deviants in this just monstery shit or actual humanoid evil versions of the Eternals (like they're supposed to be)?

fml, watching a few minutes of that was enough to cure me of any desire to see this.

We used to joke about how next theyd cast a black one armed lesbian midget for max diversity.

instead we get a black deaf woman. A deaf Eternal. One of them has cosmic healing powers, but shes still deaf. ok

At first, they're monsters. One's a literal bull. One's a bird. There are quite a few cats or leopards (like those creatures in Avatar). But they all have magic vines. Their limbs are made up of the magic vines, and they're able to shoot the vines out and attack people with them. Then absorb their essence. Then once you absorb someone enough, you start to become them. One of the monsters killed an Eternal, and became humanoid.

What? You don't think about woke corporations making decisions based on pandering to the lowest demographic when you're getting your mail? That's lunacy!
Heh I have a life, one that doesn't care who's kissing who or why. Things totally forced I hate sure like that girl power moment in Endgame. However for the most part I could care less. A bad movie will be a bad movie no matter what.
