SCREW THE CRITICS!! Haters can hate. I liked this one | Eternals COMMENTARY | Monica Catapusan 

Don’t forget to submit any questions to my community post for my Q&A video! I’m hoping to film sometime next week✨

the relationship that shined the most was either Druig and Makari or Thena and Gilgamesh. Allot of people dismiss the fact that Gilgamesh gave up his chance at small freedom in order to be her care taker and was the only one strong enough to defend himself from her attacks.

Her being blown away by Druig throught the entire movie was LITERALLY ME. 😍 Yes girl, I feel you! 👏🏼

Fun fact is that “Drakkari” wasn’t planned by Chloe Zhao; she was planning to hint at Druig and SERSI having possibly had a fling in the past. It’s because Barry Keoghan and Lauren Ridloff had TREMENDOUS chemistry (they actually improved the loving Bradbury, to the surprise of the other cast and crew) that Zhao and the screenwriters changed their plans to capitalise on them getting along so naturally.

the first time i watched this movie, I fell in love with Drukkari, Druig, AND Makkari. absolutely perfect couple

“My beautiful, beautiful Makkari” 😭

Druig’s voice made me melts like a butter. “You’re gonna have to make me” yes girl I know you think it’s hot too

You’re absolutely right! I hadn’t noticed that Ikaris was always in front of the sun like that. That’s definitely foreshadowing!

Literally Makkari is the best! And I did not expect to love her relationship with Druig. I don’t much care for speedsters in general cuz they bore me but Makkari was sooooo fun to watch! So dynamic! The romance scene between Sersi and Ikarus was actually really uncomfortable for me. Maybe I didn’t like the way it was framed. And I totally thought Ajak couldn’t be dead! I was like okay…Ajak…is coming back. Just…waaait for it. 🤣 They got us gooood. That plane CG was so bad like first Charlie’s Angel CG bad 🤣 Gil is so damn soft I fricken love how he cares for Thena. I cried several times in theater. Because of these two as well as Phastos’s loss of faith after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and seeing Druig caring so much for humanity but not being able to do anything. I feel that so deeply.

By far the best looking Marvel movie! The magic of having real sets combined with cg makes the imagery stunning and the world feel real! The moment when Tiamut breaks the waters surface gives me chills! So does seeing the scale of the Celestials to everything! Gives me goosebumps! This film took visuals to the next level! Shoutout to Chloe and the CG Artists! Also, the plot and m0vie in general wasn't bad. It was really good! one of my fav's. idk what the critics were going on about.

The biggest thing I appreciated about Eternals was there was technically no bad guys, just drama and conflict over purpose.

Let’s all take a moment to collectively simp for sleeveless Druig

Thena is also the cousin of Thanos in the comics. I also enjoyed this movie. They did a great job making it seem like they all knew each other for millennia. I agree on the ships. I loved Gilgamesh and Thena.

I don't understand why a lot of people are saying bad things about this movie. For me it was a really good movie and all the reaction I saw on RU-vid were positive. I understand that people not necessarily have to like this kind of movie but the bad things they are saying about Eternals is very exaggerated. I am anxious to see what is coming on the future of the Eternals in the MCU.

Druig and Makkari ughhhh the best ship 🖤😭

The thing about Ikaris stance it's that while it is a betrayal of his "family" it is not without any basis or even wrong if you view it from the POV of the greater good... And it wasn't just him like you said; Sprite has her feelings towards Ikaris but even before that moment when she went with Ikaris she showed that she was in favor of the Celestial's original plan; so was Kingo, he didn't take part on that later fight because he wasn't going to fight against his family but he did actually sided with Ikaris' stance. He obviously displays blind allegiance towards Arishem and the Celestial's designs but that doesn't mean that he is wrong and he did tried to stay true to his beliefs without hurting the rest of the Eternals, he did what he did to Ajax to force the rest of them to remain occupied enough for the emergence to happen, he could've easily went around the world killing all of them one by one and that would've 100% made sure that the emergence will happen without problems. And I think there is one big part of his motivation that people seemed to miss or perhaps the movie failed to make it more clear; He not only respected Arishem and the Celestials as creators but he also feared them (very rightly so) and mostly he feared what Arishem was going to do to them and specially Sersi if they went against his plan... When they went to see Druig and they were talking he voiced something very important about his character and his motivations when he said to Sersi that he was afraid of what her desire to stop the emergence was going to do to put her in the crosshairs of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse, specially the line he says to her: "I'm not powerful enough to protect you from him"... Ikaris is very confident in himself and he is clearly the most powerful among them, among the most powerful characters in Marvel, but he is not blind to the fact that if Arishem wanted to hurt Sersi there is not a fucking thing he could do to protect her.

I've heard complaints of the movie lacking of fight scenes. Like do people seriously expect a fight every 5 seconds in a 2 hour long movie? Especially since it's introducing a team of new characters Like seriously

I love the title of this video and I wholeheartedly agree. This movie was great and the cosmic implications are so awesome and that last scene with Arishem splitting the sky...ooohhhh...chills. Loved it. Cannot wait to see where the Eternals pop up next.

Fucking loved this movie, glad I actually sat down and watched this instead of listening to reviews

This is a video of Monica simping over Druig and Ikaris and I 100% support that

Im all about Drukkari! Their relationship is so pure and I love how he calls her his "beautiful beautiful Makkari!" Everything you said about them deserving more screen time, I agree 100%

35:31 no one's paying enough attention to Lauren's _raw voice._ that's the equivalent of a shout, a shriek of pain. Duuuuuuuudes.

Thank you for watching it. Eros has the power to manipulate peoples emotions like when he fights in the comics he makes the bad guys all happy and stuff.

If you’re curious when this took place, it’s after Shang Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings but before the tv series Hawkeye!

Eternals commentary? NO 50 minutes of Druig SIMPING? TOTALLY

I’ve read somewhere that Ikaris is supposed to portray the male gaze. If you look all of their “falling in love” scenes, Ikaris is always looking at Cersi, but she doesn’t really look back at him.

"druig and makkari. the end" LMAO same girl same

I love Druig so much too ❤️❤️ Also it’s nice seeing the movie with clear lighting. Also I love seeing Sprite appreciation since I’ve seen Sprite dislike for last 3 months

Whenever Druig comes on screen, I keep laughing because we're both simping and I'm almost always saying the same thing as you XD we're hopeless

I agree, I think a lot of it is he’s in love with her and she’s no longer in love with him. Like we get a sign that he was enraptured with her the moment they came to life whereas she was in love with Earth first. He was always going to choose her and she was always going to choose humanity

I really liked the film! of course it wasn't perfect, but way better than I heard it described by others

I thought that when Phastos clamped Ikaris to the ground, the rings holding him were just a bunch of the "bracelets" (they were siphoning off his power), and one stayed on him. With Sprite, Druig could have put one on her after he knocked her out. They explain it as, Tiamut joined the Uni-mind and they were ALL connected to Tiamut. So, no bracelets needed.

I called it Megamind instead of Unimind. 😂 And yes, omg. I agree with the whole Ikaris-Sersi love story being lacking. The scene where Ikaris was crying in front of Sersi was supposed to be heartbreaking because they were in love for thousands of years but it did nothing for me. 😬 I was just like "okay Ikaris, eat shit" 😂

i am sooooo relating to her reactions cause when i first watched eternals i too was simping for Druig the entire time

My problem with the "sex on the beach" scene is that it's not necessary at all. The previous scene told us everything we need to know about their union. In those few minutes they could have shown us something relevant to the story or to some other character's development.

I love this move! I know some people think it’s boring but like you said. Haters can hate. ❤️

Funny because Harry Styles and Barry Keoghan both starred in Dunkirk (which is the war movie you was talking about).

i really enjoyed this movie too! it’s so cool to see the MCU show something different. love the exploration of themes in philosophy & theology. such a beautiful film with epic music to go along with it as well!

Found my fellow Drukarri ship crew! And I can't, everytime whenever Druig's on screen, I can't contain my excitement and fangirl. Same sis! This movie was amazing too!! Great reaction~~ ^^

FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED THE SMALL DETAIL OF IKARIS AND THE SUN BEING BEHIND HIM IN ALMOST EVERY SHOT OTHER THAN ME AND RELATE IT TO THE ORIGINAL STORY AND YES THE BLACK KNIGHT HAS A DEEP LORE.....

Only druig, phastos, and thena disliked Icarus. Kingo admired him, sprite was crushing on him, sersi liked that bland Icarus D, ajax I guess thought he was the leader, makkari was okay or neutral with him, Gilgamesh teased but didn't dislike him

Love how they used ASL signs for The Second time in the Marvel universe Looove

Ikaris and Sersi give me first love vibes. But only on Sersi’s part… its like a younger woman and slightly older more experienced man. Her and Dane have more of a connection for sure.

I absolutely loved this movie lmfao😭my sister cannot go a second without saying “I need Eternals part 2 NOW”

I liked this movie a lot more the second time watching it. I don’t know why everyone hates it so much. Lol. Druig was my favorite character too. Him and Makari had way more chemistry than Ikaris and Sersi. I love seeing Marvel delve more into this type of territory.

they want us to focus on ikaris and sersi but makkari druig thena and gilgamesh got me, they're so wholesome

druig always looks at makkari like he's getting married to her every single second and NOBODY noticed lol

I don't know why sersi didn't turn the sand into a blanket. Like anakin said, "I don't like sand. Its rough, coarse, and gets everywhere"

Eternals was reviewed bombed before it even came out in theaters there are many articles written about that and that heavily skewed the critic ratings. Until they change the format and make sure people have actually watched the movie before you can rate and review it don't take it seriously. The audience rating is 80% so that's what really matters. It's not the best MCU movie but it's nowhere close to the worst.

Did anyone notice that when the Eternals die their pigmentation becomes kinda gray just like Vision when he died? I wonder does this point to a future interaction between Vision and the Eternals?

(45:39) for me personally, I kinda like it. Like very well done casting Harry Styles as Eros in this one. And I hope that they'll get a sequel to this. Also Spider-Man: No Way Home Digital Release will be on Feb 28th and I hope that I will see your reaction to that movie too (46:27) that is the Ebony Blade that the Black Knight used in the comics, and Mahershala Ali had a uncredited voice cameo as Eric Brooks/Blade

Love she going crazy everytime Drukkari is in scene! 100% represented

Thank you. Critics and haters are wrong but each to their own. I loved it too! Loved your reaction!!

Kingo is another of the Eternals without a clear parallel to a deity. One influence might have been Dionysus, god of theatre and wine. This influence can be seen through Kingo’s love of performance; he’s spent his time on Earth acting in movie after movie for a century, passing himself off as his own grandson to maintain the illusion of agelessness. This combined with a sense of flamboyance suggests Dionysus could be Kingo’s inspiration.

Druig in the leather jacket was just 👌, I’m a simp I’ll admit it

I think that the memory issues by Thena were more from the fact that her memories were being erased incorrectly rather than having too many memories; which is why when the "disease" was mentioned Ajax said the only cure was to have memories erased because the issues were a sign that they were not fully erased.

“She’ll be fine, she does parcours.” Bahaha that had me wailing

Yes love the eternals! Can’t wait for their next movie!

i didn't get the hate this movie got. like its not amazing, but its in the top half of the MCU catalog for me.

I got to see Eternals in the cinema with my friends. I fell asleep for a few minutes but my friends woke me up, that's what I like to call the power of friendship.

Ppl are annoyed by Sprite, but I feel sad for her. Imagine being a kid for 7000 years, y’all be rebelling being treated like a kid at 18, imagine HER?!

So it's a big deal to touch the Ebony blade because all wielders of the of the Ebony blade are cursed as soon as they touch it. More than that, the curse is unique to each wielder, so Dane doesn't know exactly what will happen and there's no going back. That's why Blade is asking him if he really wants to go through with it.

druig hated ikaris, phastos disliked him, thena was unsure whether to trust him or not, gilgamesh and makkari were neutral, kingo admired him, ajak adored him, sprite and sersi loved him. This is how it looked to me.

"There's gonna be sand in her coochie" NGL, I had the exact same reaction, initially. XD But nthen later I realized that she can just turn it into water. Being an Eternal has its perks. 😂

Eternals is great! While there are plenty of fair criticisms much of the ‘hate’ the film received was manufactured by the usual suspects that have problems with diverse casts.

The title though: PREACH SISTA! SCREW THEM HATERS! 👏

Yeah!!! I don’t get why so many ppl hated this movie me and my family came out of the theaters hyped and shocked 😭💀

fun fact about druig and makkari relationship in the movie. When they started filming their relationship wasn't planned but after seeing the chemestry between Barry (Druig) and Lauren (Makkari) Chloe Zhao decided to add it.

One of the Eternal’s strongest warriors, Thena (Angelina Jolie) has roots in the Greek goddess Athena. The movie even suggests that Thena was the model for Athena in the MCU, having inspired the ancient Greeks after spending time with them. The patron goddess for Athens, Athena was the Greek goddess of war and wisdom and one of Zeus’s oldest children. Thena’s ability to manifest weapons and her skill with using them makes her the perfect Eternal to embody Athena’s warrior side, while the sage advice she gives to Sersi in the final act of the film shows that she also possesses plenty of her own wisdom.

Ikaris' only mistake for me was him letting the Deviants kill Ajak. He couldve restrained her if he wanted to and just alerted the other Eternals that he'd found more Deviants to keep them distracted. Im also pretty sure he's not dead too. They"re really trying to tell me that these beings hand created by Celestials and full of 'unlimited cosmic energy' could be killed by our sun? I really respect them for trying, but you dont cast Richard Madden in a role like this and have him be a 1 and done, theyll be back in the sequel for sure.. him, Gilgamesh and Ajak.

I was worried that I wasn’t going to like this film because of all of the bad reviews. Although at times I was really confused by the lore of this story I did really enjoy it. I LOVED Druig and Makkari so much and Thena and Gilgamesh were the best platonic soulmates 🥺. I’m excited to see these characters again :)

Ahhh I was waiting for you to react to this!!! Love druig and makkari

Yeah When i finished the movie i was like "SCREW THE CRITICS , TOP 2 ON MY FAV MCU FILM"

Drukkari supremacy shall reign forever!!! Wonderful video reaction. Also, shoutout to you on the ATLA reference on the Firelord.

My unpopular opinion and MY taste I have put Eternals and Captain Marvel in my personal top 5 of MCU since they just spoke to me!

Druig is the epitome of Hotness. Huhu. I'm such a simp for Druig and Makkari ..✨✨ non the less the movie was so great. Love you reaction 🤩

I absolutely loved this movie, it's been my most anticipated Movie of 2021 and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The story, The visuals, the feels and humor all balanced well for a movie of this scope. I've seen it a number of times and will see it again and again. Loved your commentary btw.

I wont lie. I love the commentary. Need more like it. But can we talk about the boss of a female Makkari is? It's obvious that she wasnt going to handle Ikaris. But the effort.. speedsters and teleporters are hands down the best powers out there. I am not sure why cats are hating on this movie.. maybe its cause marvel has changed lives lol.. and when Endgame happened its like ok.. lets tug at the heart strong. All in all.. loved the movie and its not a blockbuster.. but served a good phase in the marvel platform.

I loved it too i don't understand the critics the visuals are stunning

Druig (Barry Keoghan) is an Eternal who can control other sentient beings, a power he primarily uses to control humans and stop them from fighting as he sees fit. His inspiration may have come from the Greek deity Dolos. Dolos is a minor deity known for being a spirit of mischief and trickery capable of deceiving others into following his will and even tricking the other gods. While Dolos isn’t known to control minds, his trickery and skilled manipulation make it likely that he was at least partially the inspiration for the movie’s version of Druig.

love makkari

Part of Ikarus and Sersi’s emotionless relationship is that Ikarus barely grows past being a prime objective following artificial intelligence. So it doesn’t connect with us emotional beings.

Thanos isn’t deviant. He’s full eternal. He just has a mutation that makes him look like a deviant. Just like someone who may be black but has an albino mutation.

I really liked it a lot, too! Not my favorite of the recent MCU movies let alone MCU movies but it’s really a good watch and progresses the over arching story forward in an interesting way. That’s what’s important

I just watched this movie, perfect timing! And I definitely liked this movie as well. :)

the thing I find most interesting about the whole thing is that Ikaris was so closed minded and his need to protect his family is what cause him to miss out on the things right in front of him and it goes to show him killing himself reveled how he felt about it, just goes to show he wasn't a bad person he was just loyal to the wrong person (Areshim) I also feel like with Sersi and Ikaris being in love is saying that it was just instant because of how long they've been alive I think who we see together in age and time is who always been together weather its fast or slow and this came to me when I was reading something and with Sersi and Ikaris the love may have been so deep that there was no actual falling in love but more of instant love where it didn't really take much but that's just my opinion

girl this video made me subscribe to youu, I had so much fun!!

IMO sersi and Dane are a better match. Even ikaris and thena have more of an enemies to lovers chemistry. Thena and Gilgamesh/druig and makkari are my fav ships

17:40 So far, I heard this takes place the same time as Spider-Man: Far from Home. Kind of makes sense why Shield/Sword believed Mysterio being from another universe when all this is going on lol

I am a comic book geek. I like the change they made with the characters. I also thought it was intesting how Ikaris being associated with the sun would be the one to be loyal to Arishem prime Celestial, who just so happen to have created the sun. Druig, Makkari, Ajak, Gilgamesh and Thena were my favorite. Angelina Jolie (Thena) composes an opera aria when with each movement. She is just so graceful. Druig and his love for humanity, Makkari is just so beautiful and pure. She deserved more screen time. Gilgamesh and Ajak.. Who doesn't love a momma bear and poppa bear figure? Also I gotta give it up to my two beautiful fellow latina's in this move. I am a half latina as well. 💜💜

22:34 That question of whether Sersi could do that the whole time is explained later in the movie near the end, they were getting so close to the Emergence, so all of them were connecting to Tiamut, and he was making them stronger unintentionally, so all of them got more powerful as the movie went on. I think that was what happened, because they said that's why they survived all the previous Emergence's because they would connect to the Celestial being born right before they emerged. So they were doing that every time, They were only a couple of days away from the Emergence(7 days) so it makes sense that their power increase was due to Tiamut. Also I love Druig as well. I didn't care much for him until we saw all the scenes of him and Makkari together. They really did steal the movie for me. Apparently Druig's powers aren't just mind control, it is a kind of Telepathy, he can sense the motives and thoughts of those around him and influence them, That's why when Icarus came into the room and they were asking him questions, he wasn't really responding about them but Druig immediately knew that Icarus had killed Ajax. Also I have an idea that when Phastos was talking to everyone and Druig bumped Makkari's shoulder that he read her mind and that she had thought of something and he thought it was funny so bumped her to let her know he heard and that's why they looked at each other and giggled. That or they were just being playful, but I think it really changes a lot of scenes with them when they are being all cute.

I got to say, druig and makkari are the best duo and no one can ever argue otherwise, like COME ON GUYS! Makkari is the only one that makes him smile. Also like the thinkers don’t need to know how to fight that’s the thing, druig can easily kill anyone by controlling them to simply snap their necks and Phasos has all the smarts he needs

Dane"Jon Snow " Whitman has way more chemistry with Circe and I actually cared when he saw her get taken away instead of everything Icarus did

Definitely more rewarding on a rewatch. I think that's my main gripe with this movie. That said, I completely agree with your comment about the acting selling Ikaris and Sersi's relationship rather than the plotting. I guess we can see why he fell for her but never really get a sense of what she sees in him? I do like Richard Madden's acting when he's wrestling with his emotions at the end though. I love how the differences in the Eternals themselves reflect the diversity in humanity. Not just looks but faith and behaviour too. Kingo being "with" Ikaris but unwilling to use might to enforce his feelings is such a brave choice in a superhero movie and I love that he sticks to his (finger) guns and doesn't show up to "save the day". I think this movie gets better the more I see it. There's so much to chew on. Thanks for another great video. Love your channel! (Also appreciate your running commentary on the editing process on Twitter. 😂)

I literally have no clue why people hate this movie it’s incredible

My second fav marvel movie and my fav youtuber ahh i love it

Sersi's OTP is clearly Sersi/Earth

This movie is spectacular

Drukkari all the way! Also your eyeshadow is just… gorgeous!

The looks just get more epic each time
