BirdsFanBill Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 So I complained a few pages ago about feeling Marveled out, not really excited for new content. The other night we dropped by 8 month old off at my parents and went and saw Spiderman. Holy F it was amazing. The marvel is back running through my veins. Now I need to watch Eternals and Hawkeye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Spider-Man, Eternals will be a huge letdown. Some people liked it, others didn't but to watch right after Spidey as your next Marvel content might not be the best idea. Start with Hawkeye, it's at least light hearted fun. And has a couple tie-ins with Spider-Man No Way Home. If you haven't seen other Disney+ shows start there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good to know, will do Hawkeye first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye first will put a good buffer between the two movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Facebook friend put Eternals as one of this top 10 movies of the year and blamed anyone who didn't like it on wanting to see Avengers heroes or didn't like that 2 guys kissed. When several people said they didn't like it and stated why (not those reasons) he got all butthurt and said well I'm not going to debate there's too much negativity in the world. It's just a movie bruh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternals primary struggle is what I call fantastic four syndrome. Whenever you introduce a big team with parties each with their own personalities and interests you have to either focus on one character or devote sufficient time to developing each character. Avengers worked because it had 4 movies of character growth it could rely on (5 if you count hulk). Avengers doesn’t work nearly as well if you don’t have those precursor movies. Eternals needed to be a Disney plus series that really fleshed out it’s characters and motivations IMO. The story was relatively fine, there’s just too much that doesn’t get sufficiently developed that could have been if you fleshed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woke wasn't the problem. People are looking for "woke" in everything whether good or bad. Hawkeye wasn't woke just because it had a female character, and just because Eternals had diversity and a gay couple in like a minute of screen time doesn't matter either. And yes a series probably would have been better. I think these things are easier in the comics with all different versions of the characters, timelines, etc. This felt out of place in the MCU the way they've been going. Would have been better if it all took place before the Avengers showed up and they closed out that story leaving Earth without the Eternals to defend it...until...

Wonder if this movie introduces Namor to set up Black Panther 2? The one person I can’t figure out who it is but I think it looks like Captain Marvel fighting Wanda in the trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 With a marvel movies I find myself going in to them knowing the rough run time of the movie. I then want time to go really slowly and as time goes on I start looking at the time to realise the movie is nearly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBW Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Saw the new Spider-Man today. Really enjoyed it. It’s been out for a couple months so I guess it’s not a spoiler at this point but I loved the way they worked In the alternate universe spider men. I’m not really a fan of reboot after reboot, but this was done very well tying them all together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerpat Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Finally catching up on some of the recent Marvel stuff. Should finish Hawkeye this week. Eternals was pretty boring. I really enjoyed mapping out part they played in human civilization, but I never really felt that excitement I normally feel during Marvel for any of the scenes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
