Marvel Studios' The Eternals (November 6th, 2020)

[jye4ever]

Wow, if that truly is their explanation, then the MCU has given up on actual writing, storytelling and world building.

Spoiler

That doesn't even make sense. I'm pretty sure they are pretty technologically advanced as well and still could've helped. I guess they figured, **** it, the Wakandans got this...

Can't wait to see what lame explanation they come up with for Mutants/the X-Men.

Spoiler

Prof. X was mind controlling/blocking all Mutants as he hid the X-men on a remote island for training cause they weren't ready as a team or to reveal Mutants to the world. Or all the Mutants in the world all of a sudden develop their abilities at once, like the stupid Inhumans with the Terrigen Mist.

Yeah i’m not entirely certain if that is the explanation they are going with god I hope not lol

I think we all know that Black Knight is just a tease to sucker people in on a cool character that might do something.

 

[Sassafras]

Are we chalking Loki up as a flop already?

Am pretty singed but Loki doesn't have Spellman and his crew as writers, so will wait and see.

Looks excellent! Most promising thing on the MCU slate and written and directed by one of the most promising new filmmakers currently working.
Not sure what you guys all saw but this looks like it will be great.

I saw Jon Snow, a boring group of DIVERSE people in colored spandex, and CGI sparkly stuff. Already giving credit to the actors tho - to film that kind of thing am sure u spend a lot of time waving your hands at nothing.

Mostly tho for me, it's hard to get excited about uber-powered folks showing up late for the party. The only one who looks gawdlike is Angelina Jolie. Where's the Grandmaster when u need him? And bring back Kurt Russel - he's a Celestial...hey, maybe Starlord will show up, he's half Celestial.

Lol.

Thanos nearly killed everyone. The Avengers fought tooth and nail and took heavy losses. Lives and marriages were ruined, the world forever changed. Now meet the 2021 retconned all powerful good guys who could have stopped it all but chose not to...

 

[Khev]

Yep, lol.

It's like if the Rohirim finally showed up when Aragorn was on the throne and the hobbits had all returned home, lol.

Not for nothing Sassa but hand waving at nothing wearing spandex has been around since X-Men 1 in 2000 maybe even Blade in 1998 lol

Is that...is that actually a quote from some part of the marketing?

YES

No, not really, lol

YES

That would have been quite the self-own.

 

[Khev]

Just the fact that you weren't sure if it was a joke based on all that has been released thus far really says it all doesn't it, lol.

 

[jye4ever]

No matter how hard they try to explain the premise it just will not work it just won?t.

Not trying to be a debbie downer here boo hoo the MCU is now dead woke trash but there is no logical explanation why they didn?t get involved with Thanos.

Not getting involved to stop Bucky from falling off a train is one thing but freaking Thanos, a deviant no less, c?mon now!

But I bet the Eternals will go apologize to Isaiah for letting him go to jail lol

Maybe they are Eternals because they avoid the fight and show up after everything has been resolved.

 

[GaryPool]

Inhumans looked more interesting to be fair.

Maybe they were erased by Thanos? They are still living creatures, and Thanos erased half of ALL life.

 

[loki2371]

Inhumans looked more interesting to be fair.

I wonder if this was at all partially retconned from what Feige had already envisioned/planned for the Inhumans.

Inhumans sounded like it was gonna be his baby as he was a big fan of the group. Until he sacrificed them by handing them over to the TV division to prove they weren't worthy of being part of the actual MCU. And boy, was he right..

 

[loki2371]

Maybe they were erased by Thanos? They are still living creatures, and Thanos erased half of ALL life.

But only half would've been dusted.

Which means the other half said, **** it....

Maybe have of them suck tho. The little girl that runs fast? That's lame. Maybe she can do more than that?

 

[Khev]

Watch it end up being that Dr. Strange realized that of the 14 million outcomes the only one where they had a hope of winning was the one where every single Eternal was in the 50% that Thanos dusted and with such losers gone they finally had a chance, lol.
