godzilla43 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) this looks bad Edited May 25, 2021 by godzilla43 InfantTerrible and Larryw7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagekilz Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) It doesn't look 'bad' but it doesn't look 'good' either. This movie - I think - will succeed tremendously at the box office but it's still a niche cast of Marvel characters that the average comic-book movie-goer will likely forget about on the drive home. I'm looking forward to it however I don't have expectations either way. Edited May 25, 2021 by sagekilz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantastic_four Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Given that the Celestials will almost certainly be the origin story for mutants in the MCU then if we spend two hours delving into their designs on Earth and then see a post-credits scene teasing the product of their work being the X-Men then I'm guessing most of us will have plenty to think about on the drive home from the theatre.

I thought the same thing at first. But then when I went back to watch it again, it just looked like Sersi meets the Dane Whitman/Black Knight and not that he was flying around like a member of the Eternals. But time will tell with more reveals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muno42 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I look forward to the fancy writing to explain the Eternal's lack of effort even when there was a war waged at Avengers compound with Thanos' entire army. aardvark88, theCapraAegagrus and Larryw7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. It’s been 30 years, but didn’t they show up at the end of Infinity Gauntlet # 4? After all the usual superheroes had been defeated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drotto Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 My favorite contradiction in the trailer is they have guided humanity for thousands years, but choice to remain hidden, isolated, and will only come forward when the threat is large enough. I know that sentence is confusing, but so is the idea of guiding, but somehow not interfering. D84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatsby77 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Also - is Gemma Chan the first actor to play two different roles within the formal MCU? She previously played Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel... I mean sure...Chris Evans as Johnny Storm & Steve Rogers but just two years apart (three with the pandemic delay)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interfering to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyTheAbyss Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Everybody is asking the same question...why didn't they intervene when Thanos went bananas. I'm gonna put my theory in print in case I'm proven right... - One of Dr. Strange's scenario was getting help from the Eternals - The Eternals step in, beat Thanos, and possess the gauntlet - They then use the Infinity Gauntlet to take on the Celestials - The Celestials crew up, destroy the Eternals and wipe out mankind in the process ***I might be missing some important details but that's the gist of my theory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we are just not seeing the whole picture. It honestly sounded fine to me, and in fact pretty much basic screenwriting 101. It simply means they once were guiding/interfering (start of the movie) but then stopped for some reason. There might have been a very negative consequence to their interference that made them decide to stop doing so (this conflict is a perfect transition between Act 1 and 2 threshold), we then move into present day time where a new event forces them to regroup and rethink their original policy of non-interference again.
