I took Sersei calling the statue “Charlie” as an indication that the two had known each other when Darwin was alive

I LOVE the Makkari scenes, every scene she's in makes me excited, not just because of the speedster stuff but she just exudes this energy that I enjoy watching.

I just realised "Phastos" = Hephaestus. It makes so much sense. Thena, Ikaris, and Gilgamesh are easier to place in terms of the names.

This movie should have been a series. It had everything going for it to be a series. Large cast. A family dynamic. Lingering questions on what they've done in the time they were separated. An exploration on how they've affected the history of the Earth. Etc etc. Tl;dr Should have been a series.

I will say seeing the celestial’s on the big screen was definitely worth the watch. As a comic book fan seeing these larger than life ultra powerful beings was a marvel(no pun intended). And to think this is probably what Galactus will be like.

I think Ego is the reason why Arishem created the Deviants and then the Eternals. Ego feels like an incomplete Celestial who's growth was stunted because intelligent life on his world was wiped out before he could fully grow.

I like seeing that even the weaker Eternals still have their own skills outside of their main powers. For Example, Druig clearly being able to hold his own in a fight, and clearly being stronger than any just regular human.

Not sure what it is but I absolutely love the way they've done the celestials. The sheer size of them had me in awe in every scene they were in, especially the scene where Arishem is staring at Earth, looked so eerie

Fun Facts: - The director confirmed there is indeed a full Karun footage - Chloe Zhao said that if the movie is liked, she's not opposed to bring certain "world-devouring" enemy in the sequel.

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.

"Ikaris might be a bad guy" Calvin always instinctive! 😊😅

43:50 very true, most characters don't become mainstream until they're in the mcu. Guardians of the Galaxy, Thanos, Thor, even Iron Man was classed a B list hero before being introduced.

Seeing the Celestials on big screen was worth it , it really gave me chills whenever they appeared on screen

A Blade, Black Knight and Moon Knight team up would be awesome.

One of the things I really really loved was the fight scenes with the speedster. It didnt have the obligatory slow motion running scene that all speedster movies and tv shows have, not that theres anything wrong with those scenes its just we've seen them over and over. It was a nice change of pace to see someone fight using their speed in *real time* it made the fighting so much more intense!

The reason why the lighting and vfx shots looks amazing in the fight scenes and places is because they really went to those locations on Earth and not use heavy green screen. This is by far the best looking movie of the MCU that doesnt look like they are in front of a green screen

I went with 0 expectations in after I saw the critics, feared it could go overboard with so many new characters and fall flat. But I liked the characters, the visuals and the pacing. It wasn’t boring at all. The fight scenes were very smoothly filmed without stupid cuts every second. The Deviants looked surprisingly great, the humor was there and well dosed in scenes, the music was pretty good. I also liked the idea with the flashbacks being on different major cities throughout time. Every character got some time to shine - so the awsome cast was not wasted (except maybe Kit Harrington but he will return anyway so..) I get why many marvel fans won’t like this one - as it is not as quirky and adventurous as Shang Chi or a fanservice galore like Spider-Man, but it’s nice to see that they went for a different feel this time.

I really liked this movie, I can understand that it is not every one's cup of tea but I think it is underrated at this point. It gets more hate than it should.

Also just watched this for the first time and have no idea why it got mediocre reviews. Really enjoyed it a lot and Marvel needed something that felt different from the standard superhero formula.

A not so popular opinion, Eternals is a great movie. Just finished watching it on Disney+. And to simply put-Not every marvel movie has to be tons of action. Some just tell a story. The unique story telling of this movie gives it a tonal and aesthetic difference from other marvel films making it fresh. Its visually arresting scenes alone makes the movie worth watching-from the godly scope of the Celestials to the grounded real-world locations. This is honestly one of my favorites MCU movies. Top 10 easily. The scene between the Eternals at the Aztec empire almost made me cry. It was fascinating how "human" and how much of a complicated family they really were for being "superheroes”. It touched on so many themes: destiny, duty, authority, self-determination, hope. Every character represented a slightly nuanced view of humanity and I was invested into each one. All of them had different motivations and it really added depth. It had amazing dialogues and complex characters like Thena and I'm impressed with how well they made me care for them. Even though the movie is lore-centric, it did not fall behind on the actions either, they gave us the best speedster fight from my girl Makkari and beautifully choreographed combat from Thena. Chloe Zhao made the magnitude of the story work. A very beautifully presented movie and one that I am happy with. I was always invested and even the end credits were interesting to watch. Eternals is better than critics are saying and this is why sites like Rotten Tomatoes shouldn’t be taken as gospel. I will not deny that the movie has its flaws, there are missteps but I like the way it set upped repercussions for future MCU movies. Could the movie have been better if it was a series or trilogy? Probably yes, only for more character development. We would have loved to see Phastos losing trust in humanity then finding love, see Druig slowly descending into tyranny, sprite finding the beauty of humanity and being envious of it and so many more. BTW, I completely love Druig, he’s the character I attach most with, he is my bias among the Eternals haha. Who’s yours?

Loved this movie. I think the greatest strength is that it's so completely different from the usual MCU formula. I can see how some may not enjoy that as much, which is fine, but I dig it.

It wasn’t included in your reaction but I really loved the scene where Druig cries when talking about how he’s witnessed so many wars and so much death and he has the power to stop it and prevent it but wasn’t allowed to. Really loved that moment.

No one: Calvin: "The Deviant can heal?🤔..Icarus is a villain."

Karun needs to come back in the blade movie, he's gonna freak out with the vampire stuff.

This movie was a lot of fun. I loved Makkari's fight with Ikaris. The music was awesome there. Though I do wish I had more time with some characters. 150 minutes long and yet I felt it was rushed.

Seeing Mikari is so good, she’s easily the best looking speedster we’ve seen in media, the moving normal speed while everyone is standing still is overplayed, it’s nice seeing someone moving fast and hard hits. This is the best flash vs superman fight we’re probably going to see in live action lol

Gilgamesh (Don Lee), clearly drawn from Mesopotamian mythology and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of humanity’s oldest recorded stories, telling of the mighty hero-king and his travels, including his hunt for immortality. In the movie, Gilgamesh proved to have the raw strength worthy of going down in legend but also proved to have a far more gentle and caring side to him as he cared for his partner Thena over the centuries as her mind crumbled under the weight of repressed memories.

This movie doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. It's not perfect, there's definitely some pacing issues but it's still one of the best MCU movies and as someone who was losing excitment about the MCU, this one got me hyped again.

I didn’t really get the complaints about this movie. I love the character interactions, Ikaris is a great villain. And the role of the Deviants is interesting and thought provoking. Big fan of this movie

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.

Given the introduction of Eros as Thanos brother is clear they are going with his comic origin: that Thanos is an experimental mix of Eternal and Deviant and that's why he looks like that and he is so powerful yet he has a twisted sense of morality and universal balance, kind of like a corruption of the Eternals and Celestials philosophy and mission. I would love seeing Thanos's origin and the destruction of Titan in a sequel, maybe make Galactus the being that killed that planet as a rogue Celestial.

Absolutely love this movie. The characters feel so real and human, there’s so much beautiful thematic elements, and the score and visuals are top class. Definitely my favorite MCU product ever alongside NWH

I'm not a comics reader for the Eternals specifically so I might be wrong, but they specified INTELLIGENT LIFE was needed for the Celestial to grow. So my assumption is that something about the intelligence of humanity allows the Celestial to hatch. In a very magic or spiritual sort of way, I imagine it means that the consciousness of 8 billion ish sentient life forms are what will feed or generate enough power for the Celestial, since it couldn't happen with the dinosaurs or any non sentient life forms.

Eternals is actually a breath of fresh air. It’s different from the usual Marvel movies and I like it

Saw this in IMAX and it was totally worth it. Such great effects, art design, and spectacle.

Arishem really pulled up on Earth like wtf!! I was shitting my pants on that scene

Mr. Mahershala Ali's voice is smooth as it gets. Looking forwards to seeing him as Blade

1. Eros/Starfox, the reason you recognize him Eric is because that is the musician, now actor, former and most popular member of One Direction, Harry Styles 2. Dane Whitman is a character known as the Black Knight and the sword is passed down through his family and if ur not like a good person, it has a tendency to turn you bad like(at least in the comics) his uncle who was the previous black knight and was evil

in mythology "Tiamat" is a Dragon and the embodiment of saltwater and the primordial sea, also the band "Dissection" have a line about Tiamat in their song "Black Dragon" that reads "Tiamat, Queen of the formless deep, the eleventh seal is now broken, hark to your children's invocations and awaken from your dreadful sleep", just as an fyi

Hands down my favourite Marvel film. I loved the indie film narrative storytelling that earns its action scenes. Bold, dense, compelling. I want the sequel announcement.

After a second viewing of Eternals, I actually enjoyed it. I think I was too harsh on it the first time around. The soundtrack is what stands out the most to me! Love it Ramin Djawadi is phenomenal at his craft.

Saw someone saying Thanos has a form of Mahd Wy’ry. He’s an eternal with deviant bloodline. His whole purpose was to cut the amount of life in half but because his mind kept collapsing after being alive for so long, it went from him thinking it was to prevent the celestials into him doing it just because there wasn’t enough resources. Hence why he didn’t think of making more resources and only saw it right to cut the amount of life in half. It’s also stated in the movie that the blip, slowed the process down and it only started back up when everyone came back.

Whenever I’ve asked the people who say they didn’t like the movie One of their biggest criticism is that it feels too “woke”. Which to me is pretty crazy considering how little time they devote to any real agenda pushing. I think just the mere existence of diversity is an affront to some people

druig bashing sprite's head with a rock is fucking hilarious bro💀💀💀

The Harry Styles and Blade after credit scenes were awesome!

For me personally, I really like the movie. It connected with me, but at the same time I can see why people dislike it. I even told my friends (who are Marvel comic and movie fans) who haven’t seen the movie yet that I wouldn’t be surprised if they were bored with it.

None of them knew who Harry Styles was, that’s so on brand for these guys hahaha I love nerds so much.

Definitely the best depiction of a speedster we’ve seen in film

With all his star/sun imagery, I love that Icarus is essentially a reverse Lucifer. The powerful golden-boy who fell from grace because he couldn't rebel or think for himself. I'm not too well versed in the comics but all the books I've read characterize Icarus as an "arrow", a straightforward tool, a stoic hammer that sees every problem as a nail. It wasn't a stretch to turn him heel, and I'm so delighted I genuinely didn't see it coming.

Eros is a eternal, Thanos is as well but with a deviant gene therefore he looked the way he did. Also, hence why Thanos was so damn tough to bring down and only shed a tiny speck of blood against IronMan. Yes they are in the comics real brothers. 💙💛

They actually explained the whole celestial needing significant amounts of energy to emerge in the trailer for Eternals but they cut that scene out of the movie. The trailer specifically said that it was the energy released from all of life being snapped back into existence at once that kick started the emergence. That specific energy serge was also something the avengers discussed in the beginning scenes of Endgame (I think Rocket was the one who brought it up).

Marvel: 'So kit do you want a lot of screen time in the movie' Kit harington: 'I said I don't want it' 😂

Tp kinda answer the question concerning Tiamut's birth: The Celestials require intelligent life, which can be seen as a force or qn energy. I don't think it's an active thing but rather like an egg that requires warmth to hatch. I really loved the movie. It was a character driven story like we haven't seen in the MCU before. The mainfocus wasn't the deviants or even Tiamut hatching, but how love and friendship and family works in a way. And I really enjoyed those characters, because everyone of them had a standpoint, a point of view. There are some criticism I have - mostly that I wanted more Makkari. But then again it's amazing that she was the last Eternal we met and yet so many people fell in love with her character. But I think the characterisation was really beautiful and interesting. Ikaris might be seen just as a bad guy traitor, but he saw the rest of his family betraying their cause. He thought he was doing the right thing. Or Kingo, who had faith in Arishem, but decided against working against his family. Sprite, who was clearly almost angry at humans for showing her what she couldn't do but also angry with Arishem for making her that way - and she picked her side for her love and almost obsession with Ikaris.

31:57 this moment really made me think that we now know who made the Ten Rings

I was surprised how easy it was for me to memorize the names of the characters so quickly. I thought I was going to be like, "Is the narrow-eyed guy kingo? What the heck was that deaf girl's name again?" I think that shows how well Chloe Zhao familiarized us with the characters.

Re-watching this movie makes me appreciate how well they showed a speedster's powers, especially after the last failed attempts in the DC universe. Makkari is the best speedster I've seen in the cinema in a looong time!

This was the first movie I saw in the cinema since 2019 and it feels like one of the few films where it really matters to go see it in a giant screen

I fucking love this film. I get it’s a little slow but that’s to be expected with how many characters there are, but holy shit is it good

I was so invested with the characters and story of this movie. The stakes were big, characters were likable (even Icarus and Sprite in that old fashioned GOT kinda way) and I just really enjoyed this movie a lot! Can I also say that Sersi's transmutation of the celestial at the end is a giant treat! Also, shout out to the stuff this movie sets up for future Marvel stories.

4:53 One of my favorite musical moments in the MCU: those ethereal choirs heralding the arrival of the visitors from the sky. Gives me goosebumps every time. @_@

Just saw this yesterday. Was a very entertaining movie. Loved Thena. and my favorite scene was when Druig molly whopped the ever living crap out of Sprites head and for some reason it was so satysfying and funny at the same time I could not stop laughing for a good 10 min. Edit: just watched the video. The guy talking to Jon Snow in the end credit scene is the new Blade.

There’s no way Calvin guessed the twist in the beginning. He had to have atleast seen certain scenes before this😂

I think this is one of the best mcu movies, there’s so much heart in it.

- I liked this movie, it stands out from the general concept of superheroes, it is unique, the landscape,camerawork,casting, ost, everything is on top - I also liked that Thanos was right without knowing it, having prevented Arishem's plan by preventing population growth by reducing it, and it turns out all the lives of mankind were meaningless because their goal was to irrigate the earth to eventually become a victim for the birth of Celestial! - Eros is a kind of galactic womanizer, he was with the Avengers, and in some comic book arcs he saved Thanos. - The Black Knight (Kit Harrington) collaborated with Blade)))

Karun Uncle was the real MVP of the movie

I personally loved this movie, when I came out of the theater I couldnt believe how much I liked every character and the way they connected them to humanity, especially how well done the phastos family scene was. The deviant plot didnt have the best conclusion but everything else was great for me, the cinematography and more technical stuff really amazed me on the big screen and I dont usually pay much attention to that

always amazed at how much people miss when watching a movie. like 90% of there confusion/complaints are explained in the movie.

Just watched Emergency Awesome who says they have brought out deleted scenes. He says they explained Starfoxs relationship to Thanos. He was an eternal and wanted to stop the emergence on Titan by getting rid of half the population but was unsuccessful. Starfox and Thanos were part of the 10 celestials sent to Titan. Really is nteresting.

15:58 Eric's concentrated look is me any time Marvel drop lore, plus ultra levels of focus 😂

I enjoyed the movie. Its fresh and different from other mcu movies and beautifully shot. Love the cast too.

I really enjoyed this movie, I feel like the majority of the negative reviews came from a combination of those with too high expectations, wanting more action, not invested enough in the MCU to absorb all the information that’s dumped on the viewer and of course the typical bigotry when you have such a diverse cast Not to say that it’s perfect or that there aren’t plenty of people who just didn’t like it for perfectly valid reasons because of course there are, I just think that the valid criticisms were blown out of proportion by those other groups

When Richard Madden first appeared, I started shouting “King in the North!” “Young wolf!” and “The North remembers!”

I went in to this movie wary (Mahd Wy’ry 😉)because of the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it. It was super dense and definitely not a movie I could pop on for fun any day of the week, but it left a positive impression on me for sure. I’m glad I’m one of the ones who liked it.

Because of the popularity of homelander and omni man, and the cinematography of eternals. I Immediately knew icarus was the main villain

The energy surge lost from the Thanos snap suddenly stalled the growth of the Tiamut. But when the second snap happened, it brought all those back in a sudden burst, after 5 years of those left behind continuing to grow, with the sudden return in the hull snap, it was too much energy! Is what I understood from the explanation when they explained.

I adore this movie. Top 10 MCU for me and second favourite movie of phase 4. I love all their unique power sets but I think Phastos’ are my favourite. He just comes out with some badass weapons during the beach fight.

Think of it as Tiamut suddenly getting years worth of power in an instant, that in turn powered the emergence to take a leap forward.

I've heard the theory that Thanos was also an eternal and knew about Celestials, that's why he wanted to eraise half of population (instead provide more food and stuff) so new celestaials just couldn't be born. That theory blown my mind :D

Heres the easiest way to explain Celestrial growth while inside a planet. Each time a person dies, is when Tiamut subsumed their life essence

If you paid attention at the beginning when you heard the story of the Celestials being told as the Eternals were arriving on Earth you noticed what they knew of the Deviants prior to learning what the truth was about their mission. The Celestials lied to them about the origin of the Deviants and their own existence so it is quite safe to assume they lied about other things. They claimed to exist before the Infinity Stones and I don't think that is true. They told the truth about their purpose which is to create more life throughout the Universe, but they exist to try and stop Galactus as his purpose is to eventually consume all life energy in the Universe and then explode as the big bang to begin the next one. In the comics Galactus is actually the first being to exist in this Universe ( Even before Eternity who is the living embodiment of the Universe itself ) and was the last survivor of the previous one. He can not truly be classified as a "Villain" as he is not good or evil, he just is. What began with the events in the latest Spider-man film and will continue in the next Doctor Strange film will be opening up concepts from the Marvel Universe into the MCU that are very hard to grasp mentally. In one What If: Avengers story line from back in the 1980's a villain known as Korvac killed almost every Avenger before he was defeated, but they all died in the end with the death of the entire Universe and in the comics there are supposed to be an unlimited number of alternate realities, but since one was destroyed completely that meant there was one less than and infinite number. How do we even conceive of how many that is? I mean if there were an infinite number and one was destroyed how do you come up with a number to say how many are left. How do you go from an uncountable number to a countable one just because one is now gone? Btw, the guys in charge at Marvel comics eventually figured out the mistake they made by eliminating one alternate reality and wrote a story to bring that one reality back by having cosmic level characters such as Phoenix, Dr. Strange and several others break through the barriers from their own realities to the destroyed one that they represented as just empty white space and there they found the Ultimate Nullifier, which was used by a mind controlled Captain America to destroy the original reality and they used it to recreate that reality sacrificing themselves in the process and so they were now back to an infinite number of realities. Even though the math still made no sense people stopped thinking about it. How could taking one away from an infinite number suddenly make a finite number? Would that not really mean there was a finite number to begin with? People think time travel questions hurt your brain, but this one is worse.

It's not the watcher who was speaking off screen it was Mahershala Ali's blade!! Chloe Zhao confirmed it

Really surprised by this movie, i don't know why i heard so many negative things. Even from reviewers/reactors that i usually trust. Well they lost my trust because this was highly entertaining and a great looking movie. Shame people talked it down so much, hopefully doesn't hurt the future cuz i want more

Eternals is a pretty dang good movie with some beautiful imagery & themes and it did not deserve to be hated on just because a lot of people are simpletons and can’t broaden their skewed horizon, this movie has its flaws but people treated it like it was as bad as WW84…I’ll die on this hill

My first time seeing it was Wednesday night too so I am so glad you guys doing a reaction. A lot of these channels put up internals content months ago like everybody went to the movie theaters amidst covid

The argument was Cosmic energy. The more people inhabits the planet the more cosmic energy available for the emergence to happen. They talked about it in the plot sipnosis. Cheers guys

My favourite parts of these videos is the conversation/review after the reaction. Its like a fun mini movie podcast basically. Love em

I really hope that you guys achieving 1M subs this year. Keep the spirit and stay healthy!

A popular theory that was born from Thanos being revealed to be an Eternal, or at least the brother of one, is that he suffered from the same type of illness as Thena did and he knew that for some reason that killing half the population would save the lives of so many people but he didn’t know why so he invented the resource explanation to justify it

I really enjoyed this movie. A high-powered cameo or tie-in like Thor would probably have won over the naysayers. He's had a few run-ins with the celestials. After seeing Makarri, Quicksilver sure got shafted though..

I genuinely don't understand the bad reviews this movie got. it's in my top 10 MCU movies, possibly top 5. and Makari is probably my favourite live action speedster ever

I appreciate the philosophical debate at the end of this video! More than any other Marvel movie in recent memory, this movie had me talking and arguing with my friends about philosophy coming out of the theater, lol.

Thank you for reacting to the Eternals. I saw it a few times in IMAX and it was glorious. Enjoyed your reaction and discussion afterwards

This movie is a breath of fresh air to the MCU and I gotta give props to Marvel for trying something new. Say what you want but the cinematography is gorgeous, the score by THE MAN Ramin Djawadi is amazing, and the actors did their job wonderfully. I love Makkari, Sersi, Thena and Phastos the most. Can't wait to see more of Eternals in the future!

Really enjoyed this film, seems alot of the hate, that I've come across anyway, is from people who've grown accustomed to the usual MCU formula and don't watch many slower paced films/ character driven stories/dramas, obviously not everyone, but for the most part that I've seen that is the case

my reaction to this movie was basically "this is justice league but better." They've got wonder woman but with a far cooler moveset then just 'she's strong' They've got green lantern but he's not an asshole and he uses tech instead of holograms, and his creations are permanent. They've got the Flash but she doesn't look stupid when she runs and the speed effects have power rather then being floaty. They've got Injustice Superman, but NO CAPES. And they already work amazingly as a team, as Eric says, and there's an incredible super-powered battle at the end.

Did you guys notice that Empire Strikes Back was playing on the tv in the plane??? And that is BLADE!!!

This movie definitely isn't perfect, but I think it sets up a potentially really good sequel, especially now that there's less characters to focus on

Makkari´s (the speedster) scenes where pretty nice i hope "The Flash" the movie can keep up and Ikaris flying didn´t look like he was on a string. It was a beautiful movie. Everybody is going to be an actor :D

I laughed so loud at that Ikarus joke in the beginning especially with that edited in laugh after it 😂
