Marvel's Eternals: Comic vs Movie Comparison 

I agree, as beautiful as these kind of ethereal flowing designs are. I would love to have seen a version with these crazy colors and patterns.

Like with Thor Ragnarok on the scenes in Sakaar?

@@uncannydcmarvelous5732 Except not cheap and flat looking.

@@uncannydcmarvelous5732 pretty much yea, my biggest complaints of the film would be the lack of that look, and the massive amount of exposition. That said I still really enjoyed it.

We are doing a adaption of a very specific story, but we want to change everything.... what was the point in doing the adaption?

We see them briefly appear in Guardians of the Galaxy.

@@nicholasdickens2801 not in the same way though

Could have been a lot better based on the Jack Kirby comics

@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Oh they could. Sadly Disney play it very safe and so do Marvel Studios to an extent.

@Lujack Shaw They look like transformers in every iteration.

oh i did not know about it they did confirmed blade is coming

I was hoping Boyega would be cast as Blade to focus on the English element of his character. I'm excited to see what Ali is going to do with the character.

I thought the offscreen warning was Dr. Strange.

He used to be British not anymore, ever since Blade movie his American

Is blade Wesley snipes? No? Then it isn’t the Daywalker.

Solo credit for Eternals in the opening credits. EXCELLENT :-)

He would have HATED what Disney did to his Eternals.

No! That wouldn't be enough

For his comics? Sure For this trash movie? Absolutely not

@@afish5538 This was a great film. Trash? What's wrong with you?

yup he was obsessed with chariots of the gods too bad von daniken was a total fraud

@@thewkovacs316 reminds me of ancient aliens where apparently in that show humans are incompetent and every achievement was because of aliens

@Adone so is Chariots supposed to be fiction or more like Zecharia Stichin with ‘plausible supposition’ in his ‘The 12th Planet’?

@Adone ahhh, because 1974/5/6/7 (i forget when it was published) stichen work posits that A) we are the result of the gilgamesh-being-made-human-by-way-of-the-anunaki and 2) the planet Mardok is missing from our cosmology and that the asteroid belt is that planet (or tiamet, i forget because by the last three to five chapters Zecharia sits proudly atop Mardok’s dick and i bypassed much of his pro mardok propaganda).

@Adone so yeah, speculative ‘non’fiction.

The biggest problem with the movie is that it had too much. Too many characters and few scenes with each of them, at the end you feel detached from the story that goes bonkers in the third act.

I've noticed that too. He's putting the intro out of date haha.

Svelt

SLIM IT UP

Batgirl Cassandra or Wonder Girl Cassandra would beat the hell out of Ajax(Lesser). The bigger Ajax was a challenge for Batgirl Cassandra.

Worked for Guardians of the Galaxy

@@Underthegun897 Unfortunately, Guardians had charisma and Gunn...this one has greyish filters and wannabe intellectuality

@@leonelril3230 this movie was entertaining

I feel like part of it is that they needed to set up the celestials, and possibly the deviants, for however they're folding in the mutants

@@leonelril3230 it just depend on the director, Chloe Zhao basically ruined it if it went with other marvel formula,it would have been great

From what I understand, there's still Deviants out in the universe, just not on Earth now. Hopefully a sequel will have Ransak and Karkas.

I mean...He DID steal a healing power strong enough to bring humans back from the dead, so it's not impossible to bring him back, or go with a Deadpool-style "all those body chunks grew new bodies, and now there's 20 of us"

Dan O'Bannon, who wrote Alien, was influenced by comics.

@@Archeopteryxman421 interesting

Kirby was really influenced by the book Chariots of the gods. And Ridley Scott was influenced by the book as well.

They were both drawing from the same well: Vin Danikens Chariot of the Gods.

I had the same thought when I watched the movie today. It allows the actress to remain in the MCU without trying to ignore her aging, or recasting the character for every movie. They made a Peter Pan reference, and I saw a strong reference to Pinocchio at the end.

MCU didn't care of Kirby's great work,they racebended every character in the movie and made an Eternal gay but in comics it is quite opposite

Definetly would have preferred more Kirby inspired deviants. The cgi monsters seem generic.

@@thedamndoor45 so he was straight? Well i don't see the problem in trying to modernize the characters but they falied

I am afflicted with a purist reflex when it comes to the visual design in comics, in cases I felt they worked, and Kirbyesque designs are invariably scrapped in the flicks. Occasionally, altering costume designs is in order, but, usually, imo, when something LOOKS good, you don't mess with it. I think most of Kirby's stuff should be visually translated in movies more faithfully than they are. Instead of turning everything into NASCAR.

I loved the comic too. This is nothing like the eternal. When most everyone is a different race gender or sexuality it loses any resemblance

@@robvangessel3766 or in this case turning the Celestials into Neon Genesis Evengellion. And making a hero character a bad guy. And bringing in stuff from Earth X as if the regular Marvel universe does not have enough stuff to draw from to make a movie. More and more I'm convinced that phase 4 is a hard pass for me.

The actors did well and I thought the storyline was good but the movie was very poorly executed, too long, and the weakest MCU movie to date. The "updating" for modern audience makes absolutely no sense, especially considering they are crafted beings by celestials who would not care about diversity.

@@ransakreject5221 Kingo's comic backstory was awesome. Then they completely changed everything about him for no reason.

YES

Glad I scrolled down, I was just gonna post that but I was like dude if I know that, there are a hundred nerds who got there before me, haha.

@@KingofCrusher well at least 56 so far

@@KingofCrusher And the nerd that pointed this out is well named....

@@RickReasonnz LOL I didn't even notice that, hilarious.

I also was hoping against hope we would see Karkas in the film.

Me too.

The poor reviews? I thought those got deleted by rotted tomatoes leaving only review bloat?

i agree it was a pretty good movie and completely subverted my expectations

Good movie, my whole theatre was lit up.

@@FloresRain oh? I thought it hadn’t been released yet

And doubtful. Makkari is Marvel, Barry Allen is DC.

@@thefurrybastard1964 I think he was joking. 😂

@@errorcode6168 Probably.

@@thefurrybastard1964 nope that did actually happen

@@yodaiam6996 If it did, cool. I never came across it.

Eh, it's more complicated than that. The Sentinel was indeed the inspiration for 2001, but Clarke and Kubrick created the expanded outline that would become 2001 together and then separately created the book and film at the same time. One just happened to get released before the other, neither is the "original".

What is a king if not god walking among man -Edgy dc characters that i forgot the name

I was kinda looking for this comment, because I didn't know if they were doing Gaiman's run.

They ALWAYS said that 'bout JKK lol

I agree. They did a great job of giving each character their own personality and quirks. I adore the idea of Gilgamesh as a great chef.

It is amazing. I would recommend it. And it is absolutely beautiful.

Maybe cause it is, can like a bad story but it's not great

AMEN!!!

They couldn't keep the elements from the comics because the SJWs would have bitched seeing it's not diverse enough

@@robquin1525 What the hell are you even on about? Because the movie is already diverse with how the entire cast is comprised of most diverse groups of people like a deaf black woman, a Pakistani man, a gay black man, an Irish man, etc. Also, people like you who complain about SJWs have brain rot and your South Park profile pic proves this.

@@robquin1525 I feel like a lot of conservatives have a hard time just enjoying alot of popular media because of the increase of inclusiveness. Conservatives tend to make everything a political debate. And before you say "adding poc and queer characters into movies IS political!" - It's not. They're normal people just like everyone else and deserve to see themselves represented on screen just as much as white straight people.

Personally, that's always made sense to me. I mean, all Eternals are capable of Matter Manipulation, so it only seems natural that they could change their gender if they felt like it. But from what I remember, when an Eternal is "killed", their "soul" basically gets transported to their Activation Machine where their new body gets created (although it takes a while) and from there, the Eternal can decide to change their appearance including skin color and gender (Sprite is a sort of exception in that they could change gender but not really their base looks, always looking like a child). That's basically how I understood it. One thing that has confused me though is Eternals and their breeding habits. Like, I've heard conflicting sources about their breeding and reproduction thing. On one hand, I've heard that Eternals basically can't reproduce with one another but they can reproduce with other species but their offspring would only be like the non-Eternal parent's species and won't inherit any Eternal powers. So the children of an Eternal and a human would result in humans with at best, peak human physical abilities. But if that's the case, how exactly was Zuras the father of Thena then? The other source I heard is that Eternals can breed with each other and stuff but as nature's way of balancing the scales, their reproduction rate is extremely, extremely low. Like, a lot of species evolve faster than it takes for Eternals to reproduce, _that_ low of a reproduction rate. Although that makes me wonder why they never just came up with some technology or found some magic that they could use to help them with their fertility problems. Do you get what I mean by this?

@@ajiththomas2465 Yes I do, but I think it might have to do with the Celestials or the collective unconscious the Eternals share more than anything else.

@@jakepalermo9181 So do you think that Eternals can reproduce with each other or can new Eternals only be made by the Celestials? Like, how is Zuras the father of Thena? Did he reproduce with a female Eternal in order to have Thena? Or was Thena created by the Celestials and gifted the role of being Zuras' "daughter"? And why haven't the Eternals figured out a way, through advanced technology or with the help of magic users, to increase their fertility and reproduce more Eternals?

@@ajiththomas2465 Probably that last part. It sounds like the guy in charge who speaks to Celestials can call in special favors. Best guess anyway.

My problem with that is it makes the previous stories stupid. If Sprite could have changed her appearance from the beginning, then she didn't have to wipe the others memories and all the previous runs starting with Gaiman don't make sense anymore.

It’s just because of the actress and they didn’t bother to offer any explanation behind it

@@Jack-rj4kd It’s actually self explanatory. She couldn’t run supersonic without hurting her ears, so she’s designed to be deaf so she can run. It’s a more realistic angle for a speedster
