Review of Eternals (2021) by Bobtahar — 06 Nov 2021
In the grand scheme of MCU... where do Eternals exist? I can't connect the dot... don't see how it move the current MCU timeline... felt very disconnected and separated. Eternals as the almighty demi gods are not that powerful actually... Thor can beat all of them easily.
It took them thousands of years to eliminate the Deviants. Thor and Hulk can do same things in 5 years easily. Eternals should not exist in the MCU... but seeing it as a standalone movie without thinking how it relates to MCU... I really like the movie.
It's a high concept movie similar to Dune where it centers around theologies... kinda biblical approach in telling the story of how the universe and human beings were created and evolve. I also believe the writers are afraid to delve deeper in the theologies aspect because they need to put this movie within the MCU and this made the movie feel uneven and all over the place.
Overall I enjoy the movie... the fight scenes are amazing and THIS IS ANGELINA JOLIE movie... I don't care about other characters.. if Marvel decide to write off the movie from MCU because of the worst MCU reviewed movie status... I don't care BUT Thena should live on in the MCU... she have the best power set among the Eternals. If you approach this movie thru MCU thoughts, I don't think you gonna like the movie but it still a recommendation from me 7/10.
Black Knight is a great Marvel character... can't wait to see Jon Snow become The Black Knight. In the comics he's also a member of The Avengers.
