Eternals The Eternals General Disscussion and Speculation thread

Regarding the alleged plot leak - I look at it this way - there was a similar writeup of Endgame’s plot online the day before it came out. People HATED it. And go figure, the three-hour movie was a lot better and more emotional than the page-long bullet point list made us think.
 
Great, then let me have my opinion.

You don't need the aid or assistance of others in holding your opinion. You are capable of doing that entirely of your own right.

Now, if what you are really asking is "Stop questioning my opinion": no. You are free to hold and post whatever opinion you wish, and others are free to point out flaws in that opinion. And frankly, its rather rude to demand that others stop disagreeing with you.

Not sure why you and the other poster are bringing this back up but since you both have then I will post my opinion again. I do firmly believe that the Black Knight will be seen in this movie.

Have a great day to the both of you.
 
So...how about those Eternals?

I hoped the leaked plot for the movie is 100% fake because I find a lot of that hard to believe. It also doesn't fit Marvel's M.O. in regards to introducing new Superhero teams.

basically the Eternals are scattered by the end of the movie, with some dead, some in outer space and some on Earth. That doesn't make any sense. Look at the Guardians. They became a team at the end of the first movie and together for the second movie. They were together at the start of Infinity War and at the end of End Game, with the addition of Thor and the subtraction of Gamora. The core team of Peter Quill, Drax, Rocket and Groot as well as Mantis and Nebula will be the team that drops Thor off in Love and Thunder and when they go find Gamora in Guardians 3. The Eternals need to go the same route.

The plot is very similar to one rumor surrounding the Inhumans movie before Feige put the kibosh on the project. In that rumor
The Inhumans were Kree sleeper agents waiting to be activated with an Earth invasion. They would then fight with the humans and go on to build Attilan or something.
Either the Eternal rumor is false or this is a story Feige REALLY wants to tell.
 


I hope the Eternals trailer drops after Zhao wins the Oscar for Best Director :woo:.

I even wonder if the teaser would mention her "from academy awars winner Chloe Zhao". They never mentioned directors in the trailers before, but the timing coudnt be better.
 
ACADEMY AWARD WINNER CHLOÉ ZHAO.

 
2x Academmy Award winner Chloé Zhao.



 
Eternals getting delayed was a blessing in disguise. These awards are definitely going to help give the movie more buzz beyond being an MCU movie.
 
I do expect the teaser in May. At first I counted more on a Spiderman-trailer, but Venom 2 needs to get a trailer first and they won‘t overshadow Venom with their own movie.
I bet, now that Disney has more flexibility again, that they release every month a teaser or trailer.
Also: they probably use the Oscar Buzz for Chloe

I‘d say 05/10/21
 
Marvel can go ahead and release the trailer now with the words "by Academy Award director..."
 
I think that would overshadow Shang Chi - also, I guess the trailer for What if... comes first

Honestly I doubt the Oscars were watched by much this year. So while her win is nice to add to the credits for Eternals, it’s not like average Joe will know who she is.
 
Did Marvel explain why they swapped Eternals and Shang-Chi in terms of their releases? I’m fine with it; I’m just curious why Marvel did that. I know that COVID messed up everything but I’m just curious if there were scenes they still had to shoot for this that got delayed or if there is some other reason.

Because cinema restrictions will hurt Eternals more since it has more high box office potential, imo.

Hmm, yeah, I could see the logic behind that. I hope both get big $$ though (unless they’re bad).
 
While I believe that Shang Chi, Blade and Moon Knight should have interactions with other established MCU characters right away, I think the Eternals should wait.
 
Imho they should use this movie to enrich the mythology in the MCU.
If they really tell a story over thousands of years, then they should use this opportunity to reflect on some mythological themes like Atlantis, Lemuria,the Darkhold, Rama Tut, En Sabah Nur (perhaps - in the sequel), Wakanda ..
Establishing the history of Asgardians, Olympians, Egyptians
It would make the MCU deeper than it already is

Seeing the first Avengers with Odin, first Black Panther, first Ghostrider, Agamoto...would really be something

Great interview. Still have doubts about how good this movie will be, but glad to hear she was able to stick to her vision of it.
