I have a feeling this movie might be a fucking disaster.

Unfortunately I concur. Should have recasted T'Challa and went with what was originally scripted. Even Chadwick's brother agrees with the recast T'Challa crowd.

I really hope they lean heavily into Jeff Lemires run. It was so good.

Watched "Eternals" last night. 

 

It was fine. The concept of what the movie was trying to do was actually pretty interesting. However, in the third act Disney went:

 

"Welp, we gotta beat the shit out of something. WETA, ILM. . . 

 

"

 

I can certainly see why people didn't like it. I can also see why people enjoyed it. It was a movie that tried not to be a Marvel movie, till it had to be a Marvel movie.

I liked it for all the world building but you might as well expect it to Marvel eventually. It's what people paid for. Its what the books do.

@OPTIMUS124Yeah I watched it and I pretty much agree with everything you said. I'm into to lore so that will hook me. I also see how the average filmgoer would have been turned off by it. Honestly the biggest fault the movie had for me is that they had to put so much lore into the film. It almost seems like two films in one.

 

Side Note: Its weird seeing Richard Madden and Kit Harrington in a  love triangle with a character named Sersi.

I think that's the thing that is so frustrating. It was a lot of world building with some pretty epic threads. Then it kinda went into what I mentioned earlier. This may be akin to the original Star Trek movies. Even phases are the "yeah, I guess" movies with the odd phases being where all the magic happens.  

[RSG3]

I feel like that is also to be expected as the odd phases have to do the heavy lifting of set up, context, and introduction, while the even phases have the "easy" job of paying off all the set up in the odd phases.

The thing about the Eternals is they’re a very small group and rarely seen, even in the comics but, and I can’t stress this enough,  they’re extremely important in the marvel universe. 
 

I think the reason why the movie has been so divisive is because it does more world building and expanding than anything else. It’s a marvel comic more than a marvel movie. So this far into the “phases” the movie seems a little out of place. It feels like a movie that should have been towards the beginning of the MCU. (Imo the Eternals should have been introduced after the first avengers movie). 
 

For me the movie should have been presented as In sort of a “what we’re showing now is  SUPER important but not until later. Keep watching to find out”. Which it did, but I feel right thing wrong time. But it will likely pay off.  
 

For instance  how Adam Warlock was shown at the end of GotG V1 but nothing has been mentioned since but You have to remember Adam is one of the most important and most powerful characters in the marvel landscape (he’s literally an allegory for Jesus Christ). So while I’m sad they didn’t introduce him leading into infinity war/end game since he’ and thanos are so interwoven I feel him being done soon and dealing with the multiverse will be more interesting as we’ll likely get the evil version of him from the future, The Magus. 
 

Back in the topic of the actual movie; I personally absolutely loved the Eternals movie. Top 5? Naw. But upper mid definitely. It was super close on cracking my top 5 though.
 

My main gripe is as mentioned at the beginning of this, the Eternals are extremely important characters in the marvel landscape.  so I feel as much lore and universe expansion they bring to the table and crammed into the movie it should have been covered as a mini-series rather than trying to cram in all into 150 minutes.

I have an Eternal question. How did Sersi turn that thing into a fucking tree? She's not supposed to be able to do that and everyone point it put in the scene and then...nothing. they just move on like it never happened. 

 

The fuck was that?

I still need to watch the Eternals, I want to watch it on my good TV but when I get back from work I have the habit of falling a sleep crashing on the couch.

Moon Knight is a nut and can get pretty dark at times. This show has a lot of potential.

Think Marvels version of Batman but he gets his powers from an Egyptian snake god, named Khonshu, he has absolutely no issues with murdering people and, he has dissociative identity order.

I know they won't go beyond network TV level violence due to the family friendly nature of the D+ platform but I can't wait. It sadly does look like we won't get the Mr. Knight persona this season the way the trailer frames things.

I get it was the set up for the final act they just kinda blew past explaining it. I was wondering if I missed something. 

[BornWinner]

Actor Gaspard Ulliel has been reported dead after a skiing accident. He is to play Midnight Man in Moon Knight. 
 

 

Rest In Peace.

RIP and condolences to his family.

I think so, maybe older. I got it from a gallery page but provides no source.

[Wellman]

It could be older, I want to say Magik started learning under Dr. Strange and co during or just after the Bendis run on X-Men, so it could be anywhere from around that time. He is the one that introduced the idea of her learning magic from Dr. Strange.

Not to mention lately they have been censoring Illyana's cleavage.

Possible Multiverse of Madness spoilers

Apparently, Tom Cruise has been on the set as a variant of Iron Man (possibly Superior Iron Man). He was considered for Iron Man originally before they went with RDJ:

Michael Bay likes extremely large explosions and rediculous camera swings.
