The reason why 2012’s The Avengers was so amazing was because it took 6 characters that were introduced in previous movies and teamed them up to fight together, it did not introduce all 6 of the Avengers at once in the same movie like the Eternals did, instead it connected previous movies that already each introduced their respective protagonists, and teamed them up in one big movie that’s connected to their introductions, therefore not wasting or cramming time with exposition. Now none of us knew who these 10 Eternals were before this movie, so they had to cram their introductions into the first hour and it most certainly didn’t work, which is why you’ll see so many people saying it should’ve been a disney + series

This story did not need a reason for them to be diverse. They are robots made by a celestial. They could be made to look like what ever the Celestial wanted. So he was creative and made them look all kinds of ways. Why is this a problem? The divers casting simple comes from a desire to feature diverse actors, it literally has little to do with the story. So why get all upset about it not living up to some need for a logical reason to have multiethnic or not have one for that matter?

That does sound like a better alternative on paper, but considering what the creators had in mind for this movie, the lack of experience of the cast and crew, and emphasizing "THE MESSAGE" over good storytelling, I wouldn't be surprised if they found some way to screw it up. Honestly, I could see them fumbling around entire episodes complaining about how hard and pitiful it is being a "diverse" person instead of advancing or highlighting the plot in any meaningful way. The purpose of this movie was to indulge in "representation", not tell a good story. Giving the creators more time would not have magically fixed the fundamentally flawed approach to this project. It would have just created MORE hamfisted emphasis on the "diversity" of the cast, because that's what the purpose of this movie was. In summary, Eternals is not a movie, it is a WOKE commercial.

The rule of 'not inteferring' is literally delaying the celestials birth because of the wars and death that went on, had Ultron's plan succeeded, it would have stopped the Celestial outright.

@@MjolnirsPower if you have a setting, where The Secret is actually working, gods happen to be creations of people's collective imagination, manifested in real world. Hence they are born and grow in power with the numbers of their respective cults' numbers and die with said cults.

So many cool things in there and awesome concepts but they just either weren’t properly explored or they were but they weren’t set up well so we don’t care enough about them.

Though runner ups were when - Celestial Guy comes to Earth in the end credits scene, tells protagonist girl that he won't destroy Earth, and then procedes to tell the protagonist girl that he will probe her memories to decide if he will destroy Earth. - Dementia Lady's dementia is said to be because she's remembering the previous planets that got destroyed and is trying to kill the other Eternals to stop the Celestial from awakening. Then she still tries to kill them even when she knows that they are trying to stop the Celestial from awakening - Deviant Antagonist claims to have assimilated all of Punchy-man's memories, says that he wants to protect his deviant race, then proceeds to try and kill the Eternals in the climax when he know that they are trying to stop a world ending event that would annihilate the remaining deviants on Earth.

So, logically, they should have allied with thanos, and either secured their "No-dusting" passes, or convince him to eliminate all the deviants for the betterment of balance. Realistically, Thanos' Plan affects them just as much as the rest of the universe. Then again, they are robots sticking to their programming to a fault, I suppose.

I don't know, I honestly didn't hate the movie, I did kind of like it, but again, I said kind of like it because it does have problems. Because there's too many characters in this movie, they don't get enough development for us to care about them, I can see that they tried and unlike other films that have too many underdeveloped characters, I give this movie props for at least trying, but it wasn't enough. I was not a fan of the whole going back and forth to tell the story, it gave me a Man of Steel feel to it, and made it a bit of a mess just like in Man of Steel. Characters do have their own personality at least, the action is well done, it looks nice, it does have its funny moments, and the story was quite compelling that it made interested to see where it was going, even if the end results weren't particularly great. So while not one of my favorite MCU movies, I would still take it over Captain Marvel, the first two thor movies and Avengers 2 Age of Ultron any day. Its a 7/10 for me.

The number of ‘cool ideas’ they tried to fit into this movie rivals that of the number of characters. It should have started as a series to introduce the characters so people could actually know who they are, let alone care about them. The evolving deviant would be a better fit as a serial antagonist. It could all lead up to their realization of the emergence and what their true purpose is. Then have it lead into the movie where they face the moral dilemma or something. Not a super original idea but likely would have done better that way. It’s funny how by trying to fit so many concepts into the short runtime it just seemed to move so slowly.
@captbuckyohare55852 жыл бұрын
If you go back and watch the very first trailer for Iron Man, when Marvel had to earn and graft for your attention, it spends 2/3s of its runtime establishing who Tony Stark is, his personality, his job, his flaws, his humour, and then it hits you with the inciting incident that changes him forever. It gives you reasons to care about him, the bastard that he clearly is, and shows just enough of the film's driving plot points to give you an idea of where it might go, before it wallops you in the last 30 seconds with the action, the armour, and soundtrack. It gives you reasons to want to follow the character and see how his story unfolds. Now compare that to the new Phase 4 characters, and you'll see the marketing is focussed solely on the brand, worldbuilding, and the promise of spectacle. The promise of a new Marvel thing, instead of selling characters. Because it's about the brand now, not the characters. So just open wide and consume the product.

Thanos is an Eternal with Deviant genes so technically the Eternals should have been doubly involved in stopping him. Edit: the Deviant gene is definitely a thing in the MCU because Thanos is from Titan (the eternals homeworld) and his brother Eros (played by Harry styles) is an Eternal but without the Deviant gene, so only one of them inherited the gene.

It is an interesting idea, since so many people have this odd view that, apparently, folks under the age of 18 by even a single day, especially young ladies, are all innocent babies, but reaching legal age suddenly results in a huge mental and emotional shift overnight where all bets are off. The idea that, holy shit, someone who doesn't LOOK 18 might have ideas and thoughts and proclivities of an adult seems impossible to some, and it would be an interesting problem for characters to overcome.

A major problem i had with this movie was that there were no stakes. Everyone knew the celestial would be stopped, if the earth was destroyed their be no MCU or any further movies, people aren’t stupid enough to think that the celestial will birth and the entirety of the MCU ends right there. There were also no internal conflicts or smaller external conflicts to make anyone care about the characters.

I think that's a parallel to the bible. Samael God best Angel who become lucifer. But here it's the opposite since God is here the celestial. But it should have been 3 movies. 1) origin story: see all their traumas and why one is that strong. End scene teasing he will sacrifice the ppl if needed 2) they fight the monsters and discover the truth, and then the strongest and a few others chose to side with the celestial. The "good" ones are deafeated and hide deciding to Ask for human help. 3) they call upon the New Heroes to fight and save mankind. They defeat the celestial. But in its last breath they realize it was afraid of something and you have the next phase set up. That's how I would have done it anyway but I am not a scenarist

They wanted to show that a White man betrayed the non-Whites and women. (While of course the Black man is the great inventor. Not Whites who actually invented things, when Blacks couldn't even invent the wheel or the sail.) So they made him stronger so it would take a while to defeat him, to work on making the audience hate him, evil White man as he is.

There was A LOT of potential: the deviant "smart" bad guy, the whole Icarus betrayal, Athena's madness, even the Cersei & Icarus vs. Cersei & the KitH character. All of these story-line opportunities were mishandled. This is down to the director, and possibly the writers, and certainly the studio. As I sat in the theater, I realized that I was watching 3 openings to the movie, and this had me concerned that "they" didn't know what they wanted from the film, and by then end this concern was confirmed.
