Full watch-a-long reaction: bit.ly/3fZB0WY
Liked both of you guys reaction. Now time to explain the end credit scene for both of you Eros aka starfox is the brother of thanos The reason they both look different is because Thanos was born with the deviant gene which caused him to look purple and bigger than the other eternals. Now the second end credit scene kit Harington character is the black knight and the person who speaks to him is blade
You didn't know if 5000bc was before or after thanos. I know what you meant but I still laughed
This movie was trash
Remember the celestial needed intelligent life to continue to develop, re-populate, and provide energy in-order to emerge. Thanos by wiping out half of the population across the universe would also stop all celestials from emerging. He was really trying to save the universe
Would you react to no way home
*Makkari is by far my favorite. They did a really great job displaying how fast and powerful a speedster can be*
I know, I’d love to see more of her and her relationship with Druig.
Best Flash vs Superman fight we've ever got in live action, and it's in a Marvel movie.
@@Frostbite08 💀😂
well of course, because connie. 🥰🥰🥰🥰👊🏻🙏
@@Frostbite08 ooooppp burn
I really liked how different this movie felt from other Marvel films. It may not be one of my favorites, but the cinematography and cast are some of the best the MCU has to offer. I think this movie gets a lot of undeserved hate.
definitely agree, i enjoyed the new characters and cinematography as well!
I honestly think all it needed was to be a series, that way they could properly build up each member of the Eternals (and maybe even delve a bit more into the sentient Deviant and the Celestials to make them feel like more of a threat). The cast was stacked, it just needed more character building that you can't really pull off in a single movie.
Completely agree. I loved the movie despite its faults.
Did the trailers do it no favors?
I completely agree. Good movie
Some reactors react to Arishem's confession and treat it like it's some villain's plan. He made it clear that it's just part of the cycle and Kingo makes a good point about how they'd be preventing other worlds from being created if they stopped it. Only reason Ajak went against it is because she tought of humans as a special case that deserved to stay alive for saving the universe.
And Arishem had the sense of not being rash on the issue and decides to give it some consideration, a villain typically would be overtly angry about their plan being foiled, but Arishem was like 'there might be some merit to what you said, I will evaluate and decide based off your own memories of them'. He more reasonable then most bosses I have had.
I think that it is pretty clear from the opening crawl (which I took for basically what Arishem told the Eternals/fact as far as the Eternals knew it) that Arishem is lying about a great many things, including how new suns and systems and such are made. So I do think it is, as you said, a villain's plan. He isn't creating worlds, he is doing something else with the new Celestials and therefore destroying worlds for (presumably) nefarious means. But that's just what I took out of it and am wrong more than I'd like so take it for what it is worth.
@@billycarvatt9722 Well time will tell which viewpoint is right I guess ;)
@@billycarvatt9722 I can understand how you could see it that way. I disagree mostly based on Ajax following along for as long as she did she seem to understand his “design.” And I felt like when Arishem tells Serci the “true plan” he was sincere. I think the deception was more for compartment mentalization for a successful mission. The leader needs to know everything in case of certain things but the grunts don’t as it could interfere with the mission. Also Arishem giving humanity a trial and not just immediately decimating earth makes me see him as not a villain
@@halohalo929 To me I have no doubt that Ajax believed Arishem, it is just a lie. I just don't believe for one second that Arishem is the only reason that new stars & systems is created. It would happen anyways. They may be doing that (creating suns & life), but only to make more Celestials. I have no idea if the true reason he wants more Celestials for just increasing their power/population or if there is some other reason he wants more Celestials.
As far has him giving humanity a trial, what does he care about humanity? The only reason he ever cared was because of the baby Celestial in the planet. It is dead so he doesn't have to do anything to humanity. I don't think he is vengeful or straight up evil, but I do think that there is another reason he wants more Celestials and it has nothing to do with the whole "we are the only thing that can create stars" narrative.
While i understand some of the criticism, i have to say, in my rewatch, the pace didn't bother me as much and now that i didn't need the exposition dumps to get the story, i could pick up a lot of details and hints of the twist, i enjoyed a lot more.
Also, this is one of the most beautiful marvels movies i've seen.
Edit: The jumps back and forth in the timeline of the movie liked a lot more too in my rewatch.
It gets better each time you watch because it's so much to uncover. I thought it was pretty good my first watch my second I thought it was really good my third I love it, this movie is so underappreciated.
I personally didn't mind the flashbacks even the first time I watched it.
Some movies just need a rewatch to fully appreciate the plot and pace of said movie!
@@E_btsot798 That's kind of the problem tho. You shouldn't have to rewatch a movie for it to be good. Most people don't rewatch movies they didn't like the first time.
@@Sm0kingGun according to whom that's what movies are for and if you missed something that's why you rewatch it
Yes Eros is actually Thanos' brother, which is interesting on several levels. First, since Eternals are synthetic in the MCU how would they have kids. Second, in being Eternals, that means Titan was (and technically still is) a host planet for a Celestial that will now never emerge since the population is extinct. Which raises the question of if there was more to Thanos' plan than just a personal conviction
Probably the one thing I really liked about this movie was that Thanos was right
Except his people completely died out without the planet being destroyed. So what caused their extinction?
Pretty sure he said it in the movie
@@MontgomeryWenis In the newly released deleted scenes of Eternals, it seems that Titan WAS destroyed by the emergence of a Celestial, so I guess Thanos' spiel about overpopulation destroying his homeworld was a simplification of what actually happened.
@@kristianberg4264 Thanos _WAS_ an Eternal, just like his brother.
That opening read by Nikki and the voice effect was everything 🤣
It was iconic!! 😂😂
Amazing
Kit’s character is the Black Knight. The voice was the guy that plays the new Blade.
I personally think that Blade, Black Knight, Moon Knight and Ghost Rider are going to form the group called Midnight Sons. Which fights the earth more supernatural threats like vampires, werewolves, witches, demons.. etc.
The actor for Moon Knight died last week from a ski accident unfortunately.
@@Soldrik_ are you thinking of the guy that was going to play Midnight Man?
@@Soldrik_ Oscar Isaac (who is playing Moon Knight) is alive and well. Gaspard Ulliel who plays Midnight Man in the series did unfortunately just die in a skiing accident.
The actor who died may not have been going any further in the series since he may die by the end. We will see when the series releases
I haven't watched many movies with Mahershala Ali, so it was impossible for me to recognize his voice.
I did know that he was going to be the new Blade, but I had to search imdb to find out who the voice was.
This is the second time Don Lee has played a charming lovable man with powerful strength who's willing to sacrifice himself for his loved ones. First was Train To Busan (the dad) and here (Gilgamesh)! This guy is so awesome.
A lot of people don't realize he was educated in the United States, but he went back to South Korea
Omg. I was almost in tears when he died in Train To Busan. He was my favorite so I knew he was going to die.
Yes. Ikaris’s eye beams have more in common with Cyclops’s optic blast than Superman’s heat vision. Good catch, Nikki.
Dane is Black Knight in the comics. He has a sword called the Ebony Blade, really powerful but comes with a curse. The voice was confirmed to be Blade, the vampire hunter.
That sword at the end is the Ebony Blade. Dane will become the next Black Knight.
That voice that spoke to him was Mahershala Ali as Eric Brooks/Blade.
Fun fact: Thena is Thanos and Eros' first cousin which would make her related to Nebula. Also, old friends with Thor. I hope they'll expand on that in future movies.
Me too
And gamora too !!
YEAAAAAA
Kit, Richard Madden, with a character named Sersi and the soundtrack made by Ramin Djawadi. So much GoT for us
The thing about the MCU with movies like this, imo, is that yeah it feels long and heavy, but after this they don't have to waste any more time developing these characters. We already know them now and when we see them in the future they'll get to do way more because it won't be so expository anymore for them. I.E. seeing Yelena in Black Widow dealing with family things, but seeing her in Hawkeye just getting to be her own character and be hilarious and badass because she was already developed in BW.
I agree
Agreed! We have to give time for these new characters no matter what. It’s only so much we can get out of characters while maintaining a storyline within it. We have to understand MCU is for the long game especially with new franchises. They’ll have time to grow and get to know more of them as phase 4 goes on!
38:41 you have to rewind to Theena's pep talk to Sersi. "When you love something, you to protect it. It is the most natural thing in the world." Icarus has loved Sersi from the moment they met.
Guys, the soundeffect when Gilgamesh knocked the Deviant "Bull" out broke me. I laughed so hard, watched it ten times.
Thanks for that. 🤣🤣🤣
I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie, even after reading all the criticisms towards it.
As far as action goes, this was most “superhero” in terms of action.
I'm glad that Chloe Zhao was allowed to do something different with this movie, but I can't help but wish it was a Disney+ show so we'd have time to get to know all the characters more.
Edit: holy crap, I'm not reading those replies
We have 7 thousand years to jump back in time and see all that. Maybe they decide to show us a bit more about each of them
Chloe Zhao is a fantastic filmmaker, but story and script fell way short of making a great film. This story should really have been told as a show, and the big names attached did nothing to left up this weak story.
honestly if we had an episode dedicated to each character, and still had flashbacks from present to future, it would be a lot like “once upon a time” from abc, which is one of my favorite shows ever
@@gabrielgabes5074 Honestly it would be amazing if they did that. There are so many stories that could be told and I’d love to see
I wish Zhao had remained true to the characters.
There is a theory that Thanos knew about the plan. Because in order for the celestial to be born there has to be a certain amount of life energy on the planet. So Thanos snapped, yes it did get rid of half of life everywhere BUT it also stops ALL the celestials being born and killing everyone else.
But like I said it’s a theory I heard.
I get that some people wanted this to be a series instead. Because there are 10 characters introduced but I kinda appreciate what they did in the movie. Yes, some parts were slow and some deleted scenes were kinda important tho if you check them out. Nevertheless it was still a good movie and doesn't deserve the low rating and hate.. The vibe of the movie really captures the characters involved, these are eternals and basically have godlike beings such as celestials, these aren't your typical street level marvel heroes. And I appreciate the effort of the Director's visions, We finally get to see a cosmic being presented accurately, not some huge floating head or a cloud... It's terrifying tbh. Also they made one of the best fight scenes in the mcu.. Fight scene with Makarri(the speedster) was so refreshing no slow mo effects but we het to see how deadly speedsters are, in real time. 💯
This felt very 'Art Film' with all the beautiful cinematography and sweeping scope of history, but melded with MCU characters and intent. A lot of the new phase is going to have nontraditional elements like magic and horror and it's going to be so exciting!
I was so glad to see this reaction! I personally love this movie a lot--like, a LOT--and found the pacing and flashbacks and whatnot fine. Not to mention the cinematography was beautiful. I loved the epic scope of it all and I thought the humor was well balanced. I actually think there are some other films in the mcu that are a little _too_ jokey at the wrong times. I just really, really hope the divisive reactions to this film don't deter Marvel from mixing things up.
Thanos actually delayed the emergence by eliminating half of the population keeping the Celestial from being born therefore keeping Earth from exploding. So, in a way, Thanos was the good guy.
Ya, when Nikki said Ikarus was siding with Thanos, I said to myself, “Huh uh.”
Thanos literally didn’t care about the emergence. Never did. Knew about it too. He wanted to destroy half the universe and when they dared to try and reverse it he wanted to destroy them all. The man was Hitler on acid.
I was excited to see y’all’s reaction just so I could hear Steven say “Jon Snoooooow” again. 100% here for it!
The whole "Why didn't they help against Thanos?" question that everyone loves to trot out every five seconds holds absolutely no water anyway. Tony and Strange didn't even know a thing about Thanos until literally ten minutes before he appeared out of nowhere and wrecked shop. Then the battle got whisked off to Wakanda's hidden country only known by a handful of people associated with The Avengers. Within a day or two of him first turning up, The Snap had happened. But the second any new character appears with a power, everyone thinks they not only automatically had knowledge of him coming that The Avengers didn't have, knew the fight had gone to Wakanda and had the means to get there in time to help out. It's ridiculous. The world AT LARGE had no idea what was about to happen, all they knew was there was a ship in New York with some aliens, and then not long after that, half the planet disappeared.
Except The Eternals were on Earth for 7000 years aiding the human race’s evolution… They’d know about Wakanda. Ikaris knew of Vibranium and asking Phastos if his table was made out it means this inventor/engineer of an Eternal has access to it. And if they wanted to intervene with Thanos, they could’ve definitely reached him. I’m just curious why Arishem wouldn’t be concerned with someone who is actively interfering with its plans by wiping out half the population.
@@KissablePurpleMonkey okay. So a ship appears in New York, then takes off back into space a few minutes later.
Within the space of a day (two, maybe?), Thanos arrives in Wakanda and The Snap occurs. How is anyone not already in that circle of people meant to have any idea where to go or what's even happening after the first encounter in New York? Are they just meant to know everything that's going on because the audience does? If they've been split up all this time, the fight would have been over by the time they all got back together. It took longer for them to reunite in this film than the entirety of Infinity War's happening.
The Celestials and Thanos' plan? THAT'S a proper question to be asking.
"Wait, that's super innapropriate!"
Damn straight. 7000 year old alien robots should not be cradle robbing our human men!
Well, technically they're actually millions of years old, as Arishem pointed out to Sersi when telling her the 'truth'.
No movie I have ever seen in my life has ever given me such an overwhelming and believable sense of scale both in physical terms and also in terms of overarching plot. You realize that EVERYTHING that has happened in the MCU, even the events of Endgame up until this point has been practically a footnote in the thousand plus page tome of the history of the universe.
Also the final Post Credit scene was of Dane Whitman (aka Black Knight in the comics) about to finally wield his ancestral weapon, the Ebony Blade aka one of the most powerful and feared weapons in all of Marvel comics. In the comics it is actually the weapon that decapitated a Celestial and that severed head became Knowhere from Guardians of the Galaxy. And when Blade showed up in voice only at the end it’s implied that they will both work together in the upcoming Blade movie.
I still can’t believe they got 2 of the Stark brothers to say “I love you Sersi.”🤣🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽
I agree with everything
If you haven’t already seen it, you should definitely react to Cruella. It’s actually really great, and goes surprisingly dark for a Disney movie. Not to mention that Emma Stone’s acting is incredible.
The cgi, music, story, cinematography, casts, and fight scenes from this movie is everything! So underrated!
12:30 The Rains of Castamere playing during Rob (Ikaris) & Serci... BRILLIANT!!!
Was I the only one who notest it?
That last post credit scene. That's the Ebony Blade. Kinda like the anti-Mjolnir. The more unworthy the wielder is, the more powerful it becomes
Fun fact, alongside both Kings in the North appearing in The Eternals - Ramin Djawadi (GoT) composed the soundtrack for this too.
33:37 a lot of reactors have missed the point that in a roundabout way, Thanos was right. Without the blip, Tiamat would have emerged weeks from Infinity War (considering time to increase global population after 5 years plus the half brought back).
Kang was also right to not purge the Avengers from going back into time. He wouldn't exist if they weren't allowed to.
Thanos was right. He may have massacred trillions across the universe but he also saved Earth and countless other planets from destruction by the Celestials.
That's just conjecture. Based upon new information about the Celestials. Thanos didn't really want to spare the Earth. It just happened to work out that way.
I felt more emotion for Gilgamesh dropping his pie than anything else in the movie.
😂🤣😂I am rolling with laughter at the “serious echo” that you added to Nikki reading the crawl! *It’s PERFECT!*
EVERY stereotypical chunk of exposition needs echo! ❤️😁😂😎
"WHHHHAAAsup everybody" and "Oh bitch! OH bitch!" are my favorite staples from every reaction 🤣🤣🤣
I loved this movie. This was such a huge story to tackle for people that know nothing of the comics. My biggest complaint was the lackluster chemistry between Sersi and Ikiris. Every other side relationship felt more genuine. I think it gets way too much hate.
I thought it was pretty clunky in the first 30 minutes or so, the delivery of all that information was not handled well at all. But past that point I liked it a lot. It's funny that the chemistry with Sersi and Ikaris was off because Gemma Chan and Richard Madden have been good friends for a long time.
To be honest, I feel like the missing chemistry actually worked in their favor. It really felt like two people dealing with the awkwardness of a past romance and I thought most of the flashback scenes were a little more genuine.
I think Thanos in the comics had a mutation from a Deviant gene that caused him to look different than Eros (Thanos's brother)
Makkari and Thena are my Favorites! Also, Ikaris gives me Evil Superman vibes for some reason.
Love the Game of Thrones callback with Dane and Ikaris (aka Jon and Robb)
Also, the voice at the end that said “You sure you’re ready for that Mr. Whitman?”
That was Mahershala Ali as Blade. Blade is another MCU movie soon to start filming.
In case you didn’t know, Mahershala Ali was in Mockingjay as Coin’s right hand man who had his legs blown up
The post credits really points to where the MCU is going in terms of opening up the movies to more cosmic stories. the end credits are interesting in that Pip, in the comics was a sidekick of Adam Warlock.And we know Adam Warlock was/ is planned to pop up in Guardians of the Galaxy ( we saw him being kinda born at the end of Duardians 2). And Dane Whitman in the comics is a character called The Black Knight, and that voice was Mahersalla Ali, who's gonna be playing Blade. I wish they'd shown his face.
I'm so happy that you guys reacted to this movie and out of all the reactions I've seen for this movie, your guys' are the one I was anticipating :)
The voice in Kit's post scene belongs to Blade (Mahershala Ali). Kit's character is known as Blake Knight and he wields the Ebony Blade (which was mentioned earlier in the movie by Sprite in a scene where Thena's wielding a sword in the Domo). The Ebony Blade is a cursed weapon forged by Merlin in the past, whomever wields the Sword becomes a hero - or a villain (just like in game of throne when they say that every once a Targaryen was born, a coin was toasted by the gods to decide if they would or wouldn't be mad). About the setting in the time line, Eternals is set right after Shang-chi! And... yeah, it's Harry Style in the 1st post scene. He's really Thanos' brother, since Thanos is partially an Eternal at some point, but he also has Deviant genes, which givens him his appearence - which is completely differente from his younger brother as you can see. It's expected that Kit Harington might comes back in MCU in Blade's movie (which will start its production later 2022)
The dramatic reading from Nikki! Loved it!
Fyi...Dane is going to be the "Black Knight." Fits for Jon Snow, I think. As for Starfox, he is Thanos's brother, The difference between the 2 brothers is that Thanos has a deviant gene that makes him look more like the monsters in this movie.
One laat thing...the voice talking to Dane is BLADE!!!
Don't worry, Dane is going to be an Avenger...eventually. 🤘😎
With the exception of Thena, who suffered repressed PTSD from her past planet journeys, I think had the rest been aware like Ajak, they would have all came to the same mindset.
It seems to me, by preprogramming them to follow their missions, they didn't have the capability to fight their programming, unless they had the full context of previous lives.
When Ajak confided in Ikaris the real deal, she set off the emergency default in Ikaris that would make him obey his programming from the Celestial.
Come the next world, with Ajak gone he would reset and not do what he did again, because he is programmed to protect Serci at all times and to fall in love with her. Perhaps the trigger for them to self evolve is a form of love. Knowing the facts, but at the critical moment, choicing to end his life instead of sacrifice hers made him real for the very first time. He evolved in that moment.
Unless they hint at Ikaris' body being created to withstand the sun and he just cocoons himself within it (Jean Gray/Phoenix style). Idk. There was no showing of his body melting or burning, just a bright burning light, so....
I had a big GOT nostalgic moment when seeing Richard and Kit back together on screen.
The two sexy Stark men. Robb's last words to Jon. "Next time I see you, you'll be wearing black."
Jon: "I always looked good in black." And now he'll be taking the black of a different kind. The Black Knight. This made me curious about Ikaris really being dead, or are we being misled, because they will run into each other again when they might have to square off or work together to defend earth or something.
I didn't know the voice at the end, talking to him off screen, was Blade. Thanks to New Rockstars for their easter egg videos for that tidbit. Now, we'll finally get to see how the vampire world will be weaved into the MCU.
Mobius from Loki, put it out there first when he mentioned the TVA arresting vampire variants, but this just became official.
Angelina was amazing in this movie, even though I was not taken away by this movie. I can still appreciate the fact that this will connect to the bigger story. Perhaps it will be more impressive to me after more of the next phase is revealed and I can see the importance of their part within it.
Even though, for now, this is at the bottom of the totem pole of my MCU movie list, it's still above the last one on my list...the hulk movie. It's like the shame of the family you don't want people to know about. It's so skippable, imo.
An Ikaris and Serci comparison to illustrate what I meant about alien A.I. becoming self aware of his choices because of love: Vision in Captain America Civil War. Hurting Wanda made him have a doubt and messed with his mission focus. As he said to Tony..."I got distracted." Tony: "I didn't think that was possible." Vision: "Neither did I".
I think the casting and visuals in this movie was PERFECTION!
Thanos's snap prevented the emergence. Thanos was a good guy. Thanos did nothing wrong!
well besides murdering people before the snap but yeah ironically he saved humanity
@@Spideymrw he was just preventing an emergence in other worlds, he didn't have the infinity stones yet to be more effective... but yeah
"Randy Orton." had me in tears! haha
Also yes, Eros/Starfox is Thanos his biological brother. Both are Eternals as are their parents. The reason Thanos looks the way he does is because he has a Deviant gene
44:00 Honestly, didn't find the movie's pacing bad. You NEED slow moments. Not everything needs to be high gear/speed all the time.
This movie got hate for being something else than EVERY freaking marvel movies. That's the only marvel movie I regret not seeing in a Cinema after Infinity War.
I really enjoyed this film. It was different and I appreciated that they tried something outside of the usual formula. Also, Arishem's voice was so cool. It rumbled the theater
The pacing is actually trash like they saying something that would happen, happen right after that sentence there no build up it terrible movie pacing now days are so bad this movie felt like 40 minutes
The fact that Steven answered "Randy Orton" instantanely cracked me up 😂
The voice at the end talking to Kit Harrington was "Blade". Which he has a movie coming out soon. Kit Harrington's character is "Black Knight" , and that sword on his desk the "Ebony Blade" . Sprite even ask Thena is she was playing with Ebony blade , and she said " no the Excalibur"
so fun watching films with you guys! love your reactions and commentary hehe
The voice was Blade and Kit is the Black Knight with the ebony blade. Thanos was born with the deviant gene which is why he and Starfox don't look alike. Their mother tried to kill him when he was born because she knew he was imperfect.
Always love your reactions.Encourage you to rewatch this movie.I enjoyed it so much more the second time since I had the background info already.
Oh my god I have been waiting for a reaction to this movie from you guys!! Thank you ❤️
Love this! You guys are the best!!!
"This Emergence thing almost feels like a much larger scale of what Thanos was doing." Quite the opposite, Steven. In fact, Thanos delayed the Emergence across the universe by wiping out half of all life. It could be argued that that was one of Thanos' goals...albeit in a retcon sort of way.
So funny when Cersi asked the class.. "Who can tell me what an Apex Predator is?" My immediate response was also "Randy Orton!" lol
Per Screenrant:
"A key question around the Eternals Dane Whitman credits scene is who was the voice that asked Dane if he's sure about taking up the Ebony Blade? The off-screen voice that speaks to Dane in Eternals' post-credits scene has been confirmed to be Mahershala Ali's Blade. Ali's solo MCU movie, Blade, which is coming in 2024, is the next most likely appearance by the Ebony Blade and Dane Whitman himself."
21:49 I liked seeing *Nikki* laugh at a joke, and then immediately comment how some of them are ill-timed. And then not 15 seconds later she's laughing out loud _again._ 😏
I wasn't expecting a lot from this movie, but I certainly didn't see the problems you saw. I thought it flowed quite well. _But hey, we all have our different perspectives._ 🤷🏼♂️
I quite like how it expanded the Marvel Universe. But I do wonder how they're going to handle this going forward. My expectation is that the _Eternals_ are not going to be quite as Earthbound as they had been.
I am bothered that the reception this film received will prevent Marvel from doing anything different going forward. They're going to stay to the same formula that is starting to get quite tired IMO.
As for your concern about including new characters, you just simply start with their origin story. Which is what virtually every Marvel hero was given. _Fantastic Four?_ They don't exist until they go into space. They don't have to *already* exist. _The mutants?_ Easily explained by any event that we saw in the past, having *suddenly* brought them about.¹
*Edit:* I recently saw a discussion about how _Spider-Man, No Way Homie!_ steps away from the standard Marvel _"sadness, and then a joke, sadness and then a joke"_ situation that *Nikki* pointed out. How it allows moments to _simply be._ I hope they take a lesson from that film.

¹ ─ Of course they can always be pulled in from the Multiverse.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just watching your reaction now and I love it lol the last end credit sounded like it’s fury to me
I really liked ETERNALS, it was almost not a superhero film but about Gods and their creators. The cinematography, score, etc was on WB level of production in terms of quality - like recent films Dune, The Suicide Squad, Doctor Sleep, and of course DC films akin to Man of Steel, ZSJL, etc - but the pacing was a bit off between characters and their motivations, and lacked some character development but they do have a really good foundation and bunch of characters for a sequel, so I welcome ETERNALS 2. This is a film that felt more matured, focused on plot instead of packing in action, Gods essentially trying to be more human in their justification as to stop Tiamut, like the Gods of Olympus trying to stop Cronus from destroying Earth.
Zhao' direction was great for this kind of MCU film; but 500 critics give it 48% compared to 10000+ viewers whom gave it 78% on RT, fan and viewer reactions matter more, they always have. A bad review hardly stops me from seeing a film.
I've joined in on ur last few streams, always a lot of fun with you two!! I can't wait to watch hawkeye with you guys! I genuinely think it will be your #1 favorite series from marvel so far. It is absolutely hilarious. xoxo
24:56 In India "Dishoom" is pretty much their version of 'Kapow'.
Thanos might have known the emergence was coming that's why he wanted to get rid half of livings things to delay the emergence in way see his point but he went about the wrong way
i gotta say i am OBSESSED with sersi’s powers the most. being able to transform any substance into anything else. it’s a lot like atom eve from invincible and she was my favorite from that show as well ahaha
Dane Whitman (Kit Harington) will be "Black Knight", his sword is the "Ebony Blade" and the voice in the off was Mahershala Ali, who is cast to play "Blade". 😉
This was the first watch along on Twitch I made it through the whole thing without falling asleep (because of time difference)
i genuinely got so excited when i saw this in my feed
Dane Whitman turns into the Black Knight, who wields the Ebony Blade! The voice who speaks off screen was the character, Blade!
Hi Guys! Glad to see you guys enjoying Eternals. On Kit Harrington's character, Dane Whitman. Dane's family history is indeed "complicated". They have been the inheritors of the legendary Ebony Blade. Their Ancestor was the original Black Knight in Arthurian Legends. When he wields the Blade, or it is bound to the Blade, it is said he has strength, agility, reflexes, at par with Captain America. The thing is, however, is that the blade is cursed. Every time the blade draws blood( or was it kills?), the wielder slowly goes crazy. I think i remember that the blade gets its powers by absorbing the souls of the people it kills. So basically, the person bound to the blade hears the babble of the souls the blade has killed over the centuries....
I personally really enjoyed this movie. Happy to see you guys reacting to it. Ikaris was my favorite Eternals
one of my fave movie from marvel
waahhh i've been waiting for this 🙇🏻♀🙇🏻♀
Oh hell yeah. I love this movie and nikki and steven always have a unique perspective. :)
I absolutely love your guys channel. So the voice that you heard in the 2nd end credit scene is Mahershala Ali as Blade of the MCU and Dane Whitman is the character best known as the Black Knight he is a descendent of king Arthur and that is the Ebony blade that he was about to touch. So in the Marvel back story goes as follows : anyone who possesses the ebony blade shall become immortal but will be cursed with a bloodlust due to chaos magic that dates back to the days of Merlin, and so Dane Whitman inherited this sword from his uncle Professor Nathan Garret who was the bad black knight prior
The sword at the end is the Ebony Blade, the Sword of Black Knight (goes into King Arthur/Captain Britain etc).
The voice at the end is Mahershala Ali, who was confirmed by Marvel as the actor who will play "Blade"
"Who can tell me what an apex preditor is?"
"RANDY ORTON"
I laughed so hard with that.
I really like this movie. Before seeing it I wasn't all that interested because it looked very different from the other MCU movies. There is a reactor who described the movie very well as "A love letter to humanity" which I understand and it is insightful and a very fitting observation. Here is what I think - the Eternals are pretty much gods because they've lived for thousands of years therefore, as we all know from Greek gods, they don't behave like humans, not at all. The movie has to portray that they are so unlike us but that for some reason they've decided to live among humans and so we get to see their take on humanity - it is a view from the outside as well as from the inside, but it is an immortal's point of view. When you see scenes of a city moving in accelerated time this is a little of what it might be like for them. Okay so they're very different from humans - but yet they're all familiar because they belong to the history of human civilization. This is a really good fit, a fantastic way to write these otherworldly beings into the MCU. I thought that they might just say it's an alternate universe, but they didn't. So I really like this movie in the right context. Regarding pacing, it didn't bother me a bit at first viewing but I was primed by that idea of what this movie was supposed to be about - it ponders a simple question, are they worth saving?
12:28 the rains of Castamere theme song omg, editing on point 😂😭
I did not get the problem with Angie. She’s an AMAZING actress, AMAZING! And gorgeous, obviously.
And, I think I would have been on the side of Kingo ( not Ikaris, his actions were too much). If the birth of a Celestial means I don’t know how many planets being born as well and the balance and continuation of the universe, well, that’s a lot more important than a small planet, in our case. But, in conflict with that, comes the point of, in that reality, we did fucking save the universe and destroyed Thanos ( who’s actually related to the Eternals in some capacity, with deviant genes, so they should have intervinde) we deserved a brake and also, 7 thousand years ago how could they have known that, but anyway, they are not gonna ran out of celestials.
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, absolutely DISGUSTING that guy being chosen to be the brother of big boy Thanos, absolutely horrible choice. We deserved a bad ass eternal-thanos-bro
That last man’s voice in the end credit scene is confirmed to be Blade’s voice, so that’s pretty fucking exciting!
daywalkerrrrrr!!!!🙏🙏🙏👊🏻😎🔥
So Kit plays Black Knight and that sword is the ebony blade and that mystery voice was Mahershala Ali’s Blade (who will be getting his own debut movie in the MCU soon).
The second I heard his voice in the theater. I yelled it out...
...........................................................BLADE! LOL!
Almost 50yo and Still Loving It!!!!
*Stop living so seriously and just be yourself, let out that Inner Child, and just Enjoy the Life You Have!*
been waiting for this one!
I enjoyed this move quite a bit when I saw it in theaters for the first time. I absolutely fell in love with it watching it a 2nd time when it came out on D+. Such a fantastic movie.
The voice at the end was blade now going to be played by mahershala ali and kit is going to become the black knight from the comics interesting on where there gonna go from here but I hope some of your questions where answered
You had me laughing out loud when Nikki's beginning narration was edited to sound "so celestial" DEAD** !! XD
It feels like I’m watching this movie with my favorite uncle and auntie. love it
The actress who played Sersi was from the moive Crazy Rich Asians! I actually really liked this movie! and one of the reasons I wated to watch this movie was because of the Bts song cameo i.e. Friends that played while they were on the plane ride... plus Sersi is my favorite character in the movie... and I love the actress too!
Plus I love how their names are of past heroes and heroines.. Like athena, and Giglamesh, and Icaras
Ikaris standing in the sunset "This looks like the beginning of a music video" Nikki is so funny lmaoo
The narration at the beginning is awesome
Thanos delayed the Emergence by snapping half of Earths population away but when Professor Hulk snapped them back the additional people all reappearing on Earth at once started the Emergence.
"Who can tell me what an apex predator is? RANDY ORTON."
Spit my drink laughing at the sheer enthusiasm
Kit Harrington I’m pretty sure he is getting his own Disney+ show
Thena was my favorite and I would love to see a series based on her.
yessssssss finallyyyy!! so hyped! cant wait to see your reactions :D
Enjoyed the read through in the beginning 👍
