Eternals - MOVIE REACTION!! 

Raw Rider Patrons can watch the Full Length Reaction HERE: blindwavellc.com/eternals-movie-full/

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.

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

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.

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

Also, if you think about it even with Thano’s snap, five years the population was still growing. Then when the other half came back it probably helped Tiamut hatch.

Love this movie. It's probably the most beautifully shot movie in the MCU and somehow they had me invested in ten new completely different characters. That is an incredible feat to be honest. Hopefully we get to see them in the future and Feige doesn't take the hate it got to push them to the side.

One of my favorite Marvel movie to date. The black hole teleportation scene in the cinema was pure sexual pleasure.

With Thanos being an Eternal (with the deviant gene) do you think he uncovered/knew about the emergence which is why he wanted to erase 50% of all life in the universe? Maybe to delay it until he finds a way to stop it permanently? Just a thought. To answer the question about Eros being Thanos' brother, Thanos is an Eternal but with the deviant gene which is why he looks the way he does.

They said that at the end of that post credits scene the voice is Mahershala Ali who will play Blade in the mcu.

They changed much of the background info on the Eternals. In the comics they are modified offshoot of humanity created by the celestials so are the Deviants and the mutates and the mutants. Also their are 100 earth Eternals. They all have the same powers, flight, telepathy, limited matter manipulation, teleportation, super human strength, invulnerability, they don't age, and they can be resurrected. They do develop certain abilities more than others.

I actually loved the Eternals

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

The Harry Styles and Blade after credit scenes were awesome!

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

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.

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. 💙💛

Still don't get the hate for this movie. Not perfect but it's different and enjoyable

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.

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

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😂

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

- 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)))

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

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

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

I feel like I lost a part of my brain trying to listen to Aarons' complaint. They, Celestials, need intelligent life to grow on the planet to be hatched. As humans begin to evolve, the Celestials also gain more energy to be created. When the snap happened, delayed the emergence. Then Endgame happened, bringing everyone back which caused the emergence to start again. Putting him to sleep and evacuating everyone would take years and years to do. Pretty simple premise. It kind of disregards the other huge problems like pacing and overall structure.

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

Thena inspired Athena Gilgamesh inspired Gilgamesh Ikaris inspired Icarus Sprite inspired Peter Pan Ajak inspired Ajax Phastos inspired Hephaestus Kingo inspired Kingu Druig inspired Dolos Makkari inspired Mercury Sersi inspired Circe Kro inspired Kronos

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

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

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 finally watched it myself and gotta say, I just don't get the hate this movie got from the critics. Sure it has its issues , but i believe its a decent B- type movie

I don't get the criticism of this film. I mean, I guess it could be because of a lack of "action/quips" but it was amazing. It told a wonderful story of faith/duty/loyalty vs love/family/right. I absolutely loved it.

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

Eternals was unnecessarily overhated, I’d like to hope it has nothing to do with the diversity of the cast/characters. It certainly wasn’t a flawless movie but we can’t deny the visuals were just 🔥. It’s hard to introduce so many characters in an already developed universe, not enough time to “bond” with them. Perhaps it would have been better if it was a series, dedicating each episode to each Eternal. Regardless I found the movie to be quite enjoyable. Can’t wait to see what’s up next for the characters!

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

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.

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

Omg it was so frustrating listening to y'all talk about the significance of the population of earth and the celestial hatch but missing the key part about advancement of humanity being a factor in it hatching too 😂

Just watched on Disney+ , I enjoyed it … I don’t get the hate I see online but yeah solid movie to me

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

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

I don’t understand the hate the movie is getting.. I thought it was really good.. easily top 5 for me

I truly liked this movie. There were moments where it wasn't as great but overall it was good. Does not deserve the hate.

My only issue with the film is the editing in some of the dialogue scenes. I could feel the micro-edits done to tighten things up, and some scenes felt far too rushed. As long as the movie already is, I think it's to the film's detriment that it's not a little longer. I'd really like to see a longer version with some scenes restored to their original length. That issue aside, I loved the movie.

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 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.

I loved this movie and I almost didn't watch because of how people are hating on it but I don't get the hate I think people are just being sheeps and hating on it because they saw others doing it

Karun Uncle was the real MVP of the movie

I enjoyed the movie, but it didn't blow me away. There were too many characters to adequately explore all of them. It leaned a little too much on telling instead of showing, from the opening text crawl, to them talking about their relationships with each other, to the exposition information dumps. It probably would have worked better as a miniseries instead of a movie.

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!

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

I still don't understand why this movie got shit on so much. I'd put it in the middle of the pack of MCU movies. I feel like this might be another Man of Steel situation where people hated it at first then eventually realized it's actually really good.

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

Been waiting on this one. Not gonna lie, this may be my new favorite MCU movie, and that’s not something I’ve said since 2015.

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
