The Eternals? Really? That is some pretty deep digging into the archives for stuff to adapt.

They still have good Marvel characters they haven't used. I grew up a diehard Marvel comics fan and just don't get this move. It's almost as bad as when they were trying to force the Inhumans.

I just need everyone to know I can go a long time without peeing. 3 hour 30 minute movie no problem. I’m sure that’s why they give you a huge cup anyway for emergency storage.

To an extent but Guardians of the Galaxy had way more runs than Eternals. I collected Marvel Comics as a kid, I came across Guardians comics. Eternals is something I don't know much about and I was diehard. It seems like they've had a few one year runs but never a long running series. I'm just shocked they aren't doing a few sequels to other movies then pumping out X-Men and Fantastic Four asap. You are right that Guardians were lesser known Marvel property when the movie came out. I personally wouldn't have thought to make that movie when they did but they had way more material to draw from. If they were going to do something lesser known, I'd love to see them go really out there and do Great Lakes Avengers. Big Hero 6 is weird because they didn't connect it to the MCU. I also didn't like that movie but that's irrelevant

Well, the GotG in the movie only barely resemble the comic versions. They drew only the barest minimum and mostly used the basic concept. They could do that here too.

Cease to Hope posted:The Eternals? Really? That is some pretty deep digging into the archives for stuff to adapt. One of the first characters rumored for it is Hercules, which makes it sound like they are merging the Marvel Greco-Roman pantheon with the Eternals. In the comics, they both confusingly co-exist with each other so Eternals speedster Makari and warrior woman Thena are separate characters from gods Mercury and Athena, with Makari and Thena being worshiped as Mercury and Athena in ancient Greece. Hercules is often confused by everyone, Eternals and gods included, with an Eternal known as The Forgotten One, because they went on adventures together a few times. I don't blame them if they want to keep it simple for the MCU. The movie is rumored to take place thousands of years in the past anyway.

You do Eternals to bring in the Celestials as a fake-out big bad and then something like Galactus as the real big bad of the next phase of the MCU. Though I don’t really know how even “devours entire planets” is supposed to compare to “wipes out half the life in the entire universe”. What higher stakes exist?

Time was I could jam down a extra large soda and popcorn though Return of the King without issue. Now I have to get up during an exposition scene in The Kid Who Would Be King like anybody else. I don't think they are making a judgement call on beer, they are saying it makes you need to pee more.

I stepped out of Captain Marvel during what I thought was a slow moment, and ended up missing Jude Law revealing he was evil. It wasn't surprising, I saw it coming, but it still would have been nice to see the turn.

Serious question, who’s actually left of note pre-Fox buyout for Marvel to use? Guardians were obviously not first stringer material but they were weird enough to have a hook.

A bunch of jokes and/or characters loathed after the dumb as gently caress Civil War.

Look having a beer or two at a movie is fine but if you are worried about having to take a leak because of it just smoke some weed before going into the theater instead.

THen in the modern movies you can have them as old men still kicking rear end for money. I mean if they can make hank pym the captain America of the 1980s, heroes for hire set in the 70s would be amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHzJSvVGn8k This movie is visually superior to End Game in so many ways that it is frankly embarrassing. Also, despite not having the stakes of half the universe being killed, it STILL feels higher stakes and more dire than anything in Infinity War.
