Eternals SPOILER Review - Easter Eggs, Ending Explained! 

Best line of film!!!!

Yeah that line stuck out to me too! That when I knew it was about to go down!😅

Loved it too.

Same!

1000000000%

Me too! I love exploring where mythologies come from in fiction. I wish they did that more in the Eternals.

kirby based his characters on ideas from the book "chariots of the gods" which was my generations "ancient astronauts" but without the bird hairdo. that book was huuuuuge, back in the day, along with "worlds in collision" and "pyramid power" and books on lemuria and atlantis. all poorly executed, i liked "we were not the first" as a better book, and some newer works by graham hancock. kkrby was clearly inspired to do his own version. the best book on this is called "hamlets mill" . ancient myths being ways to transmit astronomical knowledge.

I swear if they do some sort of "All Star Superman" thing in a sequel. That's going to be too much of a rip.

I get his suicide. He feels he doesn't deserve to live because he willingly, yet reluctantly, defied Arishem. He had complete faith in Arishem, but he helped in the death of a celestial.

@@ghost245353 You think he died?

Flying too close to the sun is the only way for a guy named Icarus to go out. You must be unfamiliar with the mythology if you thought that was shoehorned.

@@kennethmays8059 Are you replying to me? If so, I am very well aware of Icarus in mythology, thanks Kenny.

what?.. I just saw the movie tonight, and I clearly remember someone mentioning batman in the movie.. seriously am I crazy or what

@@tenerife_sea someone did mention Batman, it wasn’t Gilgamesh.

why did grace miss this? weird. it wasnt the banter, it was the professional role. like Jarvis with tony stark in the comics.

@@tenerife_sea The did mention Batman, but the reference was “He’s like Batman’s Alfred”, not “He’s like Batman.”

Grace missed alot of things I feel, I think she just rants now to fill these 30min videos to make more ad revenue

Also, it was established that the Celestials could make mistakes (ie deviants). Their designs weren't flawless (hence emotional Eternals).

I mean they always have been artificial beings but not mechanical so I don’t think they can be put in the same category as Ultron or Vision. They seem to be more akin to comic Adam Warlock in terms of biology.

Yeah exactly. I don't think they were robots at all. I imagine they were created as humans were too

@Kelvin Magnus The host is a comics expert and she certainly knows the original lore - but a lot of that was changed for the movie. But yes, I read it more as they were genetically manufactured beings, not robots, but the way they were shown in the reveal made it almost look mechanical, so that was confusing.

I definitely agree with everything you’ve said here but I am confused as to why the movie showed them as half-finished robot looking beings at one point. I don’t think they’re legit robots though so idk what the movie was trying to do there

I know, that was my favorite part too

My favorite part is when Arishem appears on Earth

@@oatmeal7818 me too

It was timely. All that whining.

@@oatmeal7818 When I first saw that scene, I kept yelling to myself. WHERE’S THE NEAREST CAVE LOL.

No, he's a motherfucking valet! "A butler is the chief manservant of a house and supervises other servants whereas a valet is a personal male attendant of a man responsible for his clothes and appearance"

Exactly if she can't have a clear understanding of the Alfred comparison then it makes her opinions so invalid

Good point I def agree!

Absolutely! She loved humanity the most and was the most deserving of becoming the Eternals' new "leader".

I liked Sersi's personality and the way Gemma Chan acted in the Babylon flashback, she seemed more empathetic to humanity in the flashbacks, I guess she became weary over the centuries and due to a lack of purpose. So glad Gemma Chan got a better opportunity in the MCU after Captain Marvel

A farmers job is to deliver the meat... She failed at her job. 😔

They were all PASSIVE. She was so bland... the main character with nothing! Blah! She was dry! Of course you thought it was good!

It around 250 votes now.. That's nothing.. It will get lower.. My guess is around 70%.. Maybe even lower

Because it's from The mcu. Seriously, get some taste.

@@nelly-gu2qq it's kinda irrelevant though most of the votes are reactions against the critics score. I think the thing people don't really understand is that with movies like this the critics opinion is kinda irrelevant and the only reason people are interested in what they say is because the want to hear someone praise a movie they like or they think they will like. In reality MCU movies are too big to fail at this point it would take a continuous pattern of failure stretching out years even cause a dent in the MCU

Please watch the movie, seriously I made this comment becauseI though that I was going to hate this movie… However, it was a pleasant surprise… My point is, that this is not worse than Dark World for example… at the end (In Costa Rica) everyone at our theater was clapping so… it depends on taste

@@javierecheverria838 I already saw it.. It's mediocre.. Nothing more

"I will return with judgment." Then disappears thru a black wormhole.

What if Galactus showed up at the same time?

@@djoetma that’s who I originally thought it was lol

@@SpaceViking2000 Apparently they have a lot to do with each other (did some Fandom reading). So that Eternals Fantastic 4 crossover will probably happen...

I kinda disagree. The retconning of the story made him a villain. Had they not retcon the story no one would have thought of him as a villain even after his action because of the key element of whst this movie is supposed to be: The Eternals are eternal. Chloe made them immortal and ruin that plot entirely

@@joweydelanota7421 That's just a change from the comics, not a retcon of the story. Characters change from the comics all the time.

right! When Sersi in the beginning said, "It's beautiful isn't it." He says, "I'm Ikaris". He was very detached and at first, I thought it was bad acting but I understand it now. Same with Thena, she was a very unique character.

Of course the straight white male had to be the villain. But then again the usual team villain, Druig is also a straight white male.

@@richierich7229 Of course somebody in the comments had to make it about that. Predictable.

I thought she turned him into ice

I agree that I liked the visual of Tiamut emerging - even if it would totally have wrecked earth in reality. I don't care, it was stunning.

@@MariaVosa It's funny because Tiamut emerging wrecked the ocean, which case in point probably pisses Namor off, which leads to Wakanda Forever, Atlantis vs Wakanda.

I was in shock when we saw him in the sky like bruuuhhhh

@@tyrdunbar Marble.

I see where your coming from, but some of the things Sprite did didn’t make her seem very adult. Like when they went back to Sersi’s apartment, Sprites “room” was very childish. I would’ve appreciated the analogy/aspect of the character, if they’d better shown it in the flashbacks, or leading up to that scene.

Seeing superspeed in real time is much more awesome than dragged out slowmo scenes

@@ayudan24688 agreed. Nor saying the slow mo is bad? But I prefer it the other way

The actress that played her was amazing

the panel in the comic where it's revealed is such a delight. i believe it was in Gaiman's run

Peter Pan and Pinoccio are no Disney IP originally.

I disagree, I think 50% is good. The movie was all over the place and was poorly explained

I don't understand it either... It's like ppl are looking for anything to criticize... And when they find it, they over exaggerate the issue

Nah 50% fits right. If you are honest with yourself you would admit that if this movie was unrelated to Marvel and had no references to the Marvel universe it would even rate in the 20%-30%s

48% now

I don't even look at rotten tomatoes scores. There have been movies that are good with a low RT score.

Or introduce most of them in a Disney+ series and then can leave the movie for the big events. Exposition could have been reduced, allowing for better pacing for the movie

I absolutely agree with you!!!

Totally agree with u

I agree with you, I liked Eternals even more than Shang Chi, and I loved Shang Chi!

@@sya I’m glad you liked the movie! Hello from New York! I have the same opinion as you pretty much.

Nothing "happened", critics came to their senses a little 😉

I'm a huge MCU fan and this film didnt do it for me. 5/10

I’m bigger mic fan and it definitely did it for me

@@RioAntonio1 bigger? How much do you weigh?

@@will88TFs4Life Same. This is the first recent MCU movie to not do it for me since Captain Marvel.

At the end of the day these are comic book movies. Saying you dont care for action in these movies is liking saying you watch a horror movie but dont care for scary stuff. 🤷‍♂️

😒

Eternals is the best marvel movie. Breath taking and gorgeous

@@ramencurry6672 *It is definitely the most gorgeous movie to ever come out of Marvel, I was in awe* 👏🏻

I love how they filmed the speedster Makkiri, DC needs to take notes. They really HATED on Marvel speaking of the "critics," I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and I loved the different battle styles.

But isn’t the inference Kingon is comparing himself to Batman? I think Grace’s point stands.

@@DannyBoydPhoto simpin ain’t easy

@@daynejoseph2366 that’s extremely dramatic, lol. Agreeing with someone is showing excessive emotion? Ok. I’m out of this conversation. Whack.

I wouldn’t go that harsh but yeah, I agree. I think if we just took it at face value, most people got the point Gilgamesh was trying to make with the Alfred line. We’re kind of just nitpicking about the quality of the comment at this point and I don’t think it’s that much of a big deal.

@@joeferrarini2851 what I do think is kind of a big deal though is Grace’s point on metaphors and how if we, as the audience, are suppose to accept the reality the film is creating, too many of the metaphors given don’t even work. On top of this, bringing in the DC franchise is suggesting what exactly? Getting their own parent company, Disney, characterization of Tinker Bell was even off. If we are to believe these ETERNALS are regal superior intelligent beings surviving thousands of years, how is it they’re misinterpreting modern literature so easily? I think it’s fair that if the strength of the film is suppose to be Marvel going high brow with Zhou, did Zhou reveal to us high brow was an overstatement?

I’m in total agreement with you

Cuties is 88% for critics, satan's favorite movie.

No it doesn't. It literally feels like Snyder made a film of something he doesn't understand at all.

I feel like the reason it didn’t feel like a typical MCU movie was because most of it felt like an expose. However, I feel like the expose had to be done because the Eternals aren’t the most known group of characters that have been portrayed in the MCU. GotG is close but the writing in those comics were way more in depth then the Eternals has ever been.

Nearly every single superhero film ends with a third act cgi fest. Superhuman abilities can’t exactly be realized using practical effects.

well said. Focusing more on that would've made the movies miles better and deep

Patience, we got at least another film coming. They already set that up.

@@BenFrankarts Nope...

I agree but then again, we weren’t meant to sympathize with the deviants

@@justkiddin1980 you can deny it if you want, but they'll be back lol. cope. you didn't like it, but others did. can't wait to see the resurrection process, Ikaris have a family, the civil war. there's lots to explore, and i'm sure they'll have Chloé back eventually too.

Shang Chi is way better than the Eternals. If it’s not broke don’t fix it. The few who say they would rate a film low because they think the storyline is similar. Shang Chi’s storyline is way different than any other MCU film while Eternals is just a poor man’s Guardians of the Galaxy without the character or fun.

@@stellarhyme3 The Shang Chi story has been done a million times already what are you talking about.

THIS! Eternals was way better than Shang chi and black widow because of that

Wouldn't really say they love it... But they love more as the critics.. To me it's mediocre

@@haridaspalleeri6765 lol it only has 250 votes... Wait for the final score.. Movies usually have 10.000+ reviews from audiences

So Far, Rotten Tomato Critics 51% Audience 86%. Never seen the MCU movie had this huge gap between the critics and the audience rating

@@haridaspalleeri6765 lol I don't care about the critics.. I am saying that 250+votes from audience is nothing.. And that the final score can be a lot different 🤷‍♀️

@@haridaspalleeri6765 lol said that people love it more than the critics.. I never said I cared about their opinion moron

I- the shade

She was specifically saying why make a robot that’s supposed to destroy planets have empathy

@@benjihudson2768 that’s the flaw in celestial design, similar to what happened when Celestials created Deviants

Totally agree!

definitely agree!

This!

I know right. So bias.

That's what I was thinking when she said that! He can't even take his glasses off or he'll destroy everything he looks at. Thank you for pointing it out.

Cyclops was my first thought too. 🤣

I agree . surprised from the reviews . This was enjoyable and the fight actions was perfect . And to me this is unexpected movie . We don't know who lives till the end . You love them . It was better than endgame to me .the fights better . Endgame was baddddd

I think it will get even better with rewatches and also future instalments. This film laid so much groundwork for the future. After a few sequels in the MCU watching this again will be even more pleasurable. I think Feige is playing the long game.

I loved Makkari but didn’t like Druig at all and couldn’t understand why she cared for him so much! Though when she went apeshit over his perceived death and started beating on Ikkaris, it was glorious to see.

my thoughts exactly! i’m glad the end of the film sets up sequel i’m actually excited to see where marvel and kevin feige are gonna take these characters.

Depth? WTF are you on about? You couldnt even get into any of their depths because there was no time. They were card board characters passive in this movie... Caring for the characters>? Who? Dork! Like you guys are jokes! The movie was trash! Cersei got stabbed by the horrid actress playin Sprite. ANd then oh well all is forgiven. Sprites character depth was so shallow, and not enough time. I want to be human, so I stab you. then all is forgiven. The other guy has a cult in the amazon rainforest. So likeable. The depth. They were shallow, passive trash characters. You have no idea what you are talking about! Trash trash trash! You dont know anything about Kirby who made the original comics. AT ALL! trash!

thats because Grace never read those comics. She also thinks Eternals are robots and didn't understand the whole sacrifice they made at the end by saving earth!

This movie was more of a drama than an action film. Interesting take though.

I felt the same. It was awesome.

I thought it was awesome too lol probably a top 10 for me in the mcu maybe

Sheep crowd

I just hope marvel doesn’t abandon the characters bc they weren’t as profitable as other MCU movies. I adored this movie. Top 5! ⭐️

8-9/10? The hell u on. It's barely a 1/10 movie.

@@deusmachinima1189 Agreed. Not that good. I'd give it like a 3 or 4!

@@NasukaStar I agree it's never above a 3 and would never in a million years give it a 8 or 9 definitely a poor movie

Why support race and gender changed characters?

Marvel Schill

I enjoyed it as well. It was so different from the traditional MCU films which was what I was hoping for. I loved the mythology and the commentary on humanity. I would definitely go see it again.

agree

They each had such distinct personalities and motivations. It was beautiful to watch.

I totally agree. I don't understand the criticism. I absolutely loved this movie.

They all do have offensive power. Even Sprite's illusions cause confusion and misdirection as well as means of escape.

DC has Blue Beatle he is mexican

Ajak will return. That’s what makes Eternals unique. They don’t really die. They can also change their sexes. In the comics, Ajak was a Latina female in her original first form.

We also have America Chavez now too.

That was the part I was the most excited for the movie but I was so underwhelmed seeing they didn't take time to explain this deeply. They could've point out how all the different deities in different cultures relate to the same beings that were the eternals and that the demons and other mythical creatures ennemies of gods were all deviants

@@Simon-it3ok I get that, I was excited about it too. I just found it weird that she didn't seem to like the little bit they did put in.

Everybody in our audience felt the same way. About the pie.

She probably thinks he’s attractive lmao

Not hating on him I just couldn’t figure out his accent. It seemed like it was there and then wasn’t.

that pie looked yummy lol. My favorite was Ikarus, I've had a crush on Richard Madden since Cinderella lol

@@moisesibarra Lol probably does, I liked him in “13 reasons why” he just fell flat in this to me

Yeah it was kinda lame, expected better

I hate Bollywood, or rather what it represents, so I'm glad that scene was somewhat muted

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Same! Our theater was loving it

Same at our theater which was sold out

I think this is gonna turn out well for Marvel.

Same at our theater. People loved it

this movie was so good and great until the final act (where the battle on the island) when all the dialogue, decision and plot suddenly become so stupid and not natural at all

@@vijaz5559 how so? 🤔

@@natts i don't know how to explain it. the way the last battle commence is just dissapointing. the deviants are just a bothersome in the end and didn't kill anyone, basically becomes no threat and don't affect the ending much. ikaris is somehow weaker and not strong enough to deflect phastos weapons. and everyone on the final battle basically survives without casualty and just wins. i just.... don't know. even other marvel movies are more satisfying in the ending than this. the build up was so great and the characters conflict is very intriguing. the deviants have their own mind, their own fear and feel the need to revenge their kind. but the ending doesn't live up to all of those build up.

@@vijaz5559 mmmmm the action was good everything else i’ll give you ig

@@vijaz5559 did you even watch the film? In the final conflict, there is only one powerful deviant (Kro, the one that learnt to talk after gaining more powers earlier in the film), and it ended up being killed by Thena, having killed two of the Eternals earlier on, with her turning the tables at the last second. Ikaris wasn't weaker, it's just he had never fought other Eternals before. I agree that we could have seen more of Tiamut, the new celestial that was emerging, to raise the stakes, but that's a small quibble really.

Kumil got roided up for nothing.

Kingo: My Job here is done Eternals: But you didn't do anyth- Kingo: *Leaves*

I actually appreciated that, as it showed how even the Eternals themselves were divided. It made me feel like each Eternals truly had their own identity and beliefs.

I kind of liked though that in the end it was for the most part the "smart" team that had to step in and save humanity.

@@jking4973 Yeah. And I dont think that Kingo bailing was because he doesnt care about humanity..its just how do you go against your creator? Imagine if you're a christian and god came down to earth and said "Hey, this place is full of sin and Im gonna pull a Noah's Ark 2.0 and wipe out the earth"..like do you try and save people even if that goes against god's will knowing the wrath you may face?

Yes, luckily we know that the MCU is bland and mediocre anyway 🍻

Oh I’m sure Tiamut damaged the earth. I can’t wait to see what happens with that.

Movie was trash. Period! Everyone in the crowd loved it? Oh you took a poll? Dork. It was trash. Period! You dont know Kirby!

@@lalareal180 um ok?

@@lalareal180 if you didn't like it that's fine, but there are also people that LOVED it. Period. Also, I just wanted a great movie, not a 100% faithful adaptation of Kirby's Eternals, none of the MCU films are 100% adaptation of the comics. Also yes we all loved it, bcz it was a small theater of around 70 ppl bcz it was a luxurious screening, we overheard people talked about how awesome it was. Dork.

I cant believe no one has mentioned that in a video yet or commented it!!! Like legit they were all underpowered to the point i feel like the avengers would destroy the eternals in a straight up fight! You got Hulk 100x stronger then the strongest eternal!.. iron man whos lazers did way more damage then ikiris eye laser! Fastow , no better then tony stark (yea he can make it out of nothing apparently, but i mean he didn't exactly make or come up with anything super extraordinary) Thena the best warrior probably would have lost to hella thors sister js, Sprite got nothing on strange, ikiris got nothing on strange, Hawkeye literally could have killed Ajax the eternals leader lmfao...that being said lets be honest wanda / vision /dr strange the hulk , or even thanons for that matter could have single handedly taken apart and killed off the eternals . Given they had the full insight into the eternals and powers each one had ,as the eternals had the knowledge of all the avengers.. I mean Thor withstands the blast of a dieing star/sun just to make a weapon...ikiris flys into sun to die..🤣 Captain marvel gets a blast from a infinity stone..shrugs it off Ikiris blast druig with his strongesr eye blast... druig whos has no special powers other then mind control and is afraid ikiris will be his death..gets up and walks off the strongest eternals power move like he only got the wind knocked out of him 🤣🤣🤣 really!

@@drowdrizt21 you clearly haven't been paying attention. Every mcu hero is underpowered. Literally the avengers member's you mentioned would kill the eternals in the comics. Thor and hulk have literally already beaten Ikaris in the comics. Heck comic hulk beat the shit out of gladiator and gladiator beat hyperion and hyperion is an eternal that is stronger than ikaris so cool your jets boy.

Yeah i know why the nerfed them though,only Ikaris wasn't that nerfed. Sersi for example shouldn't need to touch people to transmute them she uses range attacks like eye beams and energy blast but if she had that imagine, she would have stopped Ikaris right there.

yeah i agree it added a good element to it in my opinion. Some people were strong, some had defense, and some had abilities and it made them quite different and diverse between them all.

not underpowered, they were fighting beings of their own caliber

Better than shitty endgame of course

I want eternals 2

You didn't know that was such a deal in those countries?

Also Disney very easily solved the problem in the past. Simply they cut these scenes as they are NEVER connected to the main plot on purpose. In Asia there are always 2 versions of the film: one sterilised for the cinemas and the uncut version U can find on the net.

Yeah I'm glad they are not caving either. Especially for such a small scene as well.

They could barely handle them because Ajak wasn't there to heal them anymore.

Ikr? Everyone is soo nit-picky. Movie was cool and different, after over 10 years of the same formula. Nice to see something fresh. Loved tying into myths and legends. Definitely seeing it in theaters again

For me its kinda bland.

@@P1V0TDude too many characters to get emotionally invested in

@@P1V0TDude not nitpicky, they've better taste.

@@P1V0TDude I am not nit-picky, when I criticize things like flat characters, lack of motivation, shitty villain and way way wayyyyyy too much exposition. No one has a problem with a bad looking cgi shot, but this problems are just tremendous.

Pity they weren't the leads.

I loved them so much, totally understand about the butterflies, such natural intimacy and chemistry.😭

Druig. The goth Eternal. Lol. I liked his personality.

They really were favorite example of super speed

Same it is in my top 10

Yess

Unfortunately Eternals was meant to be a standalone film. But! I believe an Eternals Disney+ series is in the works. The actor Don Lee (Gilgamesh) is returning this summer for filming.

Yeah that was definitely weird other characters would’ve been picked up on that immediately

Avengers Endgame was long as well.

@@ronaldpeterson7717 yea but only fanboys rewatch endgame . Most ppl watch clips on RU-vid

isn't long good? get your moneys worth

I said the same thing as I walked out of the theater tonight.

Agreed

💯

Funny enough I think you are right. But some themes definitely had to be changed. For example, I would have reduced the cast to only five. Make them only immortals and gods, get rid of the robots and aliens identity. Also don't make the earth an egg of an Eternal. And explain in a more detailed way why everyone is important, so the betrayals are granted and relevant to the story. Finally, use the Disney+ series to introduce mutants and inhumans as descendants of the Eternals and Deviants.

You're kidding

yeah it was very obvious, this is why sometimes a re-watch is needed.
