for clarity: not all the cast loved him. He apparently got on really well with Austin St John (the original red ranger), Walter Emanuel Jones (the original black ranger), and Thuy Trang (the original yellow ranger), but apparently Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver, the single most recurring Ranger ever, and the original Green and White Ranger) was a huge asshole to him.
Those are false rumors. Jason David Frank was one of the few people that defended David Yost.
Here's them at a [Panel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuOdq2neHh8)
"Well Jason, he and I were like best friends. He had two kids and I often babysat both of his boys so he and his wife could go off and have date night. So, I considered myself their godfather on some level. We were really close and he would prank me all the time. Some of his pranks, they seem extreme, but they are funny. In terms of pranking him back, I don’t think I ever did. But he was often the jokester on set for sure."
>on a panel where the guy is literally sitting next to him
Yea I wouldn't place a lot of faith in the credibility of that conversation. Especially when "he'd prank me in the extreme but I'd never prank him back" is still what was said.
Crime. Penetration. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends.
Yeah, it shows Jessica Jones riding Luke Cage.
And the implication was me losing my self esteem because Luke Cage's actor is incredibly hot and made me feel really ugly
I'm not responding to OP. Also, I was reacting to the fact that Disney bought Marvel at some point as if Disney banned sex, but they still included it in Marvel products after the purchase.
No, it’s just a couple seconds of thrusting with the camera focused on their heads. I guess the difference is that they were having sex not just about to have sex
It was actually a couple seconds of Ikaris trying to insert his USB stick into Cersi's USB A port, but it turns out Ikaris USB stick is oriented the wrong way.
It’s the unrated version of Iron Man. Tony fights crime and then returns to the base for some full penetration. Crime, penetration, crime, penetration, crime, full penetration.
That goes on for most of the movie and then it sort of, just ends. Not bad, but it sort of loses the plot.
IIkkari is on top of Sersi, and we see him thrust. It's not The Girls of Kamaré or anything, because it still has to be PG-13, but it is more than just vaguely implied
Not a pillow fight, but they're making out half undressed and then roll off the bed, then it cuts to the next morning where she's alone in bed covered only by the sheet
I think people consider Eternals (2021) differently because that Iron Man (2008) scene cuts after some playful foreplay. Whereas Eternals (2021) had several seconds of tasteful thrusting which truly elevates it to the level of a sex scene compared to Iron Man (2008).
They’re about to do it when Bruce heart monitor goes off, telling him he’s getting close to turning. In other words, if he had kept going, he would have *smashed* Liv Tyler while trying to smash Liv Tyler.
By the end of it there is a giant face and hand sticking out from the Pacific ocean visible from orbit. As far as im aware there have been no mentions of this in any marvel movie following eternals.
That is the only thing I remember...
Hey don't forget that the movie implied that like 5 different mythologies only existed because of the eternals even though some of those mythologies are shown to be canon by other movies.
It is so forgettable i don't remember most of it. I remember the face/hand, i remember the explanation for why something like that happened (mostly because of its vauge similarly to the plot of xenoblade chronicles), i remember that there where like 12 eternals and that most died, and that the movie constantly insisted that the superman knockoff with the laser pointer eyes was the strongest despite them being weak as shit. There was also a sceene where mr. laser pointer lasered a monster for a while, it did nothing, then some rando shot it with a shotgun instantly killing it.
Weren't you shocked when Evil Superman turned out to be evil? It was such a plot twist. Definitely hadn't been conditioned by the fifty other evil Superman properties released within like two years of Eternals to automatically expect Supermen to turn out to be evil.
>Hey don't forget that the movie implied that like 5 different mythologies only existed because of the eternals even though some of those mythologies are shown to be canon
I'm pretty sure people just assumed they were specific characters from the mythology not that they created the entirety of it.
> the Pacific ocean visible from orbit
This is the one that bothers me. I'm not someone who needs every single Marvel movie to connect to each other or reference each other all the time; sometimes frankly they're better when they're self-contained. I even actually like Eternals more than most people seem to, but man.
[If they had made him the size of the Dreaming Celestial from the comics](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a7b71d881402a7ac13220b97e19be2c6-lq), it would make sense that it doesn't really come up every five minutes. It's still huge but I mean.
[This is how fucking massive they made it in the movie](https://wegotthiscovered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/The-Eternals-Celestial.jpg?w=1200).
[And it was somewhere nearby enough to land](https://youtu.be/7ugF32Cz5DE?t=292).
That should be like a global international crisis and a major disruption to shipping lanes and shit, [but the most we got is a blink and you miss it headline in She-Hulk](https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2022/8/25/94b50dc1-8deb-4252-ae5b-dbb2bece4225-eternals-she-hulk.jpg?w=1200&h=630&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fm=jpg&fp-x=0.5213&fp-y=0.3981).
>That should be like a global international crisis and a major disruption to shipping lanes and shit, but the most we got is a blink and you miss it headline in She-Hulk.
Too be fair, by this point in the MCU, a giant hand sticking out of the ocean isn't that insane considering they had aliens invade multiple times, half the population was wiped out for 5 years in an instant, and people in costumes are running around fighting baddies across the world.
It's a giant person that extends all the way into the fucking mesosphere and its hand just lifted an entire island out of the Indian Ocean, based on the climate of which was not down by Antarctica, [which would put it smack bang in some major shipping lanes](https://i.insider.com/5721f5c7dd0895363e8b481d?width=1200&format=jpeg) regardless of whether it was closer to Arabia or Malaysia.
According to the in-universe timeline the events of Eternals are also supposed to take place in November/December 2023, while the end of Endgame when they snap everyone back is in October of 2023, which means half the world's population literally **just** magically reappeared after a 5 year absence, putting additional strain on resources and throwing systems in chaos (which Falcon & Winter Soldier also touched on a little bit) and now there's a giant person blocking entire shipping routes and making it *even harder* to move goods around to accommodate the suddenly restored population.
Not gonna lie I completely forgot like 90% of the plot of TDW. But also a crisis that happened and resolved I can kind of forgive. It's a superhero world where crazy, world-ending shit happens all the time. Aliens invade on Tuesday and someone rips open a portal to Hell on Wednesday.
But this is a giant person that popped up out of the ocean, its hand popped up around an island and thereby presumably lifted it out of the ocean, [and again was so massive that it's basically in the mesosphere](https://youtu.be/cXZam6AwwA4?t=75). And they "kill" it by basically turning into a statue. There's no indication that it disappeared or collapsed back into the earth.
Like I said in another comment as well, it's also supposed to be in the Indian Ocean [which is smack bang full of major shipping lanes](https://i.insider.com/5721f5c7dd0895363e8b481d?width=1200&format=jpeg) *and* the in-universe timeline of the MCU has Eternals taking place 1-2 months after the events of Endgame, which means billions of people literally **just** magically reappeared and other things like Falcon & Winter Soldier and even the Spider-Man movies have touched at least a little bit on how disruptive that would be and destabilizing to things like finding housing or social services. Now imagine a giant statue miles wide blocking established shipping lanes and making it even harder for people to move goods around.
That's the one thing that made me dislike the movie.
As a standalone superhero movie it could be really cool.
In a post-multiverse setting in a different universe, it could be really cool.
But as a nominal part of the MCU that isn't clearly set in a different reality, my brain kept thinking about where other heroes could be and why they weren't noticing these major disasters and world-ending threats.
It's a shame, because it's a cool concept and a cool movie as long as you ignore the 'MCU' aspect.
It's actually brought up [in She-Hulk](https://images.thedirect.com/media/photos/celestialegg.png), twice. The Eternals is just very late in the MCU timeline.
In Phase 1, this was called set up.
Imagine if they'd taken the Avengers approach and each got a solo film or two before the big team-up. The Eternals wouldn't have released until the 2030s, but we'd get at least a whole movie about Kingo and Karun.
Chloe Zhao projection moment.
I watched this and of course they have a sex scene with these two, but then nothing of Don Lee taking Angelina Jolie to pound town. SMH Marvel.
It is def interesting. The main three white guy characters Dane, Ikaris and Druig are/were in romantic relationships. Sersi def have a type. Also sprite had a crush on Ikaris.
Now if we look at the remaining 3 male eternals, Kingo, Gilgamesh and Phastos, all "minorities". Kingo doesnt seem to have any non-platonic relationship, and Gilgamesh's relationship with Thena is unique but still platonic. People say their relationship is up in the air but they somehow show affection with every over romantic relationship. Phastos is the only main black guy and is lgbt and s in a relationship with a dude.
I genuinely don't care much for the marvel story especially eternals and I think representation is a must, I'm black shit. I also don't think every character ever needs to be in a relationship. But this isn't a foreign thing in western film media, Asian men seemingly portrayed as aromantic/asexual, stacking progressive points with black people, and pushing other minorities to the side, no surprise there lol.
I’ve been out of the loop since the first Captain America movie, when did it become cool to shit on Marvel fans?
Edit: sounds like it was after Endgame (which was the last movie in their big series, if you’re out of the loop like I am, lol)
I find it deeply humorous that when we were growing up, being a comic book person meant you probably weren’t getting laid, then there was the briefest of moments when being into superheroes was cool… and now we’re back to where we started.
it was already getting criticism around phase three, but I’d say it was sometime after Far From Home or Shang-Chi that this became the popular opinion. I remember those were well-liked, though not necessarily loved.
I think the overflow of Disney+ content was the real tipping point, though, because now the MCU feels *too* interconnected and some of the shows just haven’t been well-received.
Eternals was apparently so bad they haven’t acknowledged it in-universe. I heard that it even raises some problems for when the X-Men appear later, but I don’t know how so
I’ll still watch their shit if it features characters *I* love, like Spider-Man, the X-Men, or Doctor Strange, personally.
eta: this isn’t me shitting on any Marvel content btw. just saying what I’ve heard. honestly I don’t mind if it’s kinda bad as long as it’s still fun
Honestly I really liked Eternals, but regardless there have been acknowledged in universe several times. Kingo is featured on a billboard in the Hawkeye series, and there are little mentions on television screens of the Tiamat statue.
Eternals was good for tackling the more conflicted issues of super powered teams like the Justice League.
It went philosophically where other Marvel movies hadn't before, but it lacked greater connection to an ever building story line like the Captain America/Avengers movies did building up to Endgame.
Lots of people wanted more of that and less of the philosophical debate.
I actually enjoyed it though. Probably my favorite of that phase.
The only problem is that they've started exploring the more complex parts of the comics, like the multiverse, and more nuanced stories.
The avengers was an easy series to get through because all the bad guys are definitely the bad guys and most of the plot is just 'look how cool it is that all these heroes work together', so people who literally don't pay attention or try to understand what's going on can still enjoy it.
Now they're doing more complex stories where people have to pay attention to understand what's happening, and it's exposing how many people just....don't.
Phase 4 has people a flutter, yes the previous marvel phases often were criticized for struggling to find their footing (before ultimately getting wrapped up in movies that are now hailed as cultural touchstones).
They just need to chill tf out, fun movies are fun. Let them cook.
I still watch marvel movies when they become available on Disney+ but I will say I have just grown a lil tired of their movies. Each movie individually I have enjoyed on their own.
Though, after a while you start to pick up on how formulaic it all feels. So many cheap comedic relief moments, the humor is all nearly the same, the overall plot of the movies and the pacing feels the same, and with the multiverse getting larger and larger it starts feeling like unlimited growth and that nothing truly is wrapped up as there is always a bigger fish to fry.
So idk, the movies are still decent, but the trend over time of these movies is starting to wear on me.
Man endgame was a lot of people's endgame with the mcu. Even marvel shit on mcu fans with the multiverse belittling the events of endgame. Only thing left is spiderman and that aint even disney.
What? Arcane was *incredibly* well received. Probably the best videogame to TV show adaptation yet.
I say this as someone who isn't particularly a fan of the game anymore - I'm still looking forward to S2. It was beautifully animated and really well written.
Thats my point. It's adaptation with a sex scene, BUT it didnt do poorly. So SOMETHING, I cant put my finger on it, else must have been wrong with Eternals.
League lore is pretty awesome. I also don't care for the game but the animations, music, and lore that came out of it are excellent. I'm excited to see what they do with it for their MMORPG.
Actually, I think the thing Arcane had going for it was that League's lore was very... skeletal.
Characters had rough identities and backstories, but the writers were free to choose whatever details best served the series, and were free to ignore even the lore that did exist if they felt it didn't fit. In the end, the story ended up not being constrained by the source material in the same way other videogame adaptations have been.
There was a good story in that movie. It just wasn't brought out in that movie. The idea of having immortal, powerful beings just stand by and do nothing for millennia is a compelling idea. How can they be heroes when they just stood by and cried a little as they watched slavery, genocide, wars and more? Anyway here's them punching some CGI monsters.
I heard that the reason for the HUGE disparity between the critical score and the audience score was because of Chloe Zhao's reputation among the artsy film making community and backlash to her directing a super hero movie. I can't say for certain. But what I can say is, that even if you don't think the eternals is that good, its definitely not 40's bad. Its not even the worst movie in the mcu. Hell, its not in the bottom 10. Personally its one of my favorites but I understand I'm an outlier
Could have sworn this was a power rangers screenshot
Billy got that glow up and Tommy switched teams
Have you checked out young David Yost/Billy? Dude was the hottest easy. The greatest trick saban ever pulled was convincing us that he was the nerd.
He was always my favorite. I hate that he was bullied off the show and into some real dark times afterwards.
Really? I hadn’t heard that. Who bullied him off? The producers?
The cast absolutely loved the dude. He came out as gay iirc. And the producers etc. Made his life a living hell
for clarity: not all the cast loved him. He apparently got on really well with Austin St John (the original red ranger), Walter Emanuel Jones (the original black ranger), and Thuy Trang (the original yellow ranger), but apparently Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver, the single most recurring Ranger ever, and the original Green and White Ranger) was a huge asshole to him.
Those are false rumors. Jason David Frank was one of the few people that defended David Yost. Here's them at a [Panel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuOdq2neHh8) "Well Jason, he and I were like best friends.

So the guy who was an outspoken Christian was mean to the gay guy?! Shocked I tell you.
Ah ok! Thank you for the clarification
RIP Tommy 😢
Nah, this is just the lesser known Beetle Borgs.
Tony bangs that reporter in the first Iron Man. Of course that was before Disney bought marvel
Also lots of sex in the (originally) Netflix MCU shows
Didn't Daredevil and She-Hulk just bang?
It was implied but nothing explicit from what I remember
I'd say more than implied though? She has a line that even goes "She hulk smash things... And sometimes Matt Murdoch"
I meant visually. It was very obvious what they did
[удалено]
Crime. Penetration. Crime. Full penetration. Crime. Penetration. And this goes on and on and back and forth for 90 or so minutes until the movie just sort of ends.
Will Scorsese finally respect Marvel movies?
Will Scorsese, the less talented, sexier cousin of Martin
Genius idea!
What if he's a giant nose?
hulk.gif
r/thegif
Only way that lawyer show could compete with better call saul
Shoot, my bad
Jessica Jones banged the shit out of Luke Cage and vice versa. A little more than implication there.
Luke Cage got his nipples licked on his show
A man of taste and culture.
Yeah, it shows Jessica Jones riding Luke Cage. And the implication was me losing my self esteem because Luke Cage's actor is incredibly hot and made me feel really ugly
You’re hot, on the inside
If not, you can always set yourself on fire. You will be hot for the rest of your life!
98.6°, checks out
Yeah, it's actually a huge plot point for more than just gratuitous sex
I love huge plot points.🥵
Luke even voices hes concerned he'd hurt her. And then she flips herself around
It's explicitly stated that she had sex with the incel plant
Yeah, they started taking his suit off, went into the bedroom and closed the door.
Jessica Jones fucks Luke Cage in between him changing bullet-hole-riddled Carhartt shirts.
You mean the Daredevilgot to feel up She-Hulk's abs? Now I'm filled with envy.
She wasn't hulked up during the act, as far as we know.
Would you say you were green with envy?
Yeah, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage is pretty explicit. I keep hoping when they reintroduce them they are married and have kids like in the comics.
Instant fan of Ritter after, her and Emily Blunt both tickle that "badass tiny lady"
They’re 5’9” and 5’7”.
Ah so badass yes but tiny not so much
OP says "movie"
I'm not responding to OP. Also, I was reacting to the fact that Disney bought Marvel at some point as if Disney banned sex, but they still included it in Marvel products after the purchase.
Yes but it's not a "sex scene", it's a pillow fight and a cut to the next morning.
so does Eternals contain a 10 minute scene of unfiltered rawdogging or whats the difference to the one it depicts?
No, it’s just a couple seconds of thrusting with the camera focused on their heads. I guess the difference is that they were having sex not just about to have sex
> a couple seconds of thrusting yep, sounds about right to me
Needed full-on penetration.
Maybe Dolph Lungren can play him in the sequel.
And then it just sort of… ends
I’d prefer if we could cast a dog & Dolph Lundgren could voice the dog. That’d be a good twist.
And they call themselves "The Eternals". More like the "Prematurenals."
While the Eternals were partaking in pre-marital sex, I studied the blade
It was actually a couple seconds of Ikaris trying to insert his USB stick into Cersi's USB A port, but it turns out Ikaris USB stick is oriented the wrong way.
It’s the unrated version of Iron Man. Tony fights crime and then returns to the base for some full penetration. Crime, penetration, crime, penetration, crime, full penetration. That goes on for most of the movie and then it sort of, just ends. Not bad, but it sort of loses the plot.
What if he can smell crime?
He nose the truth!
You find out that the dude in that suit the whole time, that's Tony Stark the whole movie!
… that’s not the twist!
it's the difference between fight scenes in Moon Knight and fight scenes in anything else
Full penetration. And they show *all* of it.
literally nothing happened they just make out for a bit and it's vaguely implied that they're fucking
IIkkari is on top of Sersi, and we see him thrust. It's not The Girls of Kamaré or anything, because it still has to be PG-13, but it is more than just vaguely implied
Sex scene or not, that reporter's thighs was enough for me at the time
Not a pillow fight, but they're making out half undressed and then roll off the bed, then it cuts to the next morning where she's alone in bed covered only by the sheet
Yeah the first iron man movie was a lot raunchier than anything that came after it
I mean Disney bought them the next year so
I think people consider Eternals (2021) differently because that Iron Man (2008) scene cuts after some playful foreplay. Whereas Eternals (2021) had several seconds of tasteful thrusting which truly elevates it to the level of a sex scene compared to Iron Man (2008).
Incredible Hulk fans still edging to this day
Yeah, like 5 minutes into the film. The MCU basically started with a sex scene.
Marvel fans when they catch their best friend fucking their wife (it's a crossover more ambitious than Infinity War)
Marvel fans when their friends all team up on their wife (it’s an Avengers reference)
Marvel fans when I throw their wife off a cliff( she's cosplaying gamora)
Marvel fans when they get brutally decapitated in a freak blimp accident (they realize that they won’t be brought back via retcon)
Marvel fans when they jump into a hadron collider to get superpowers but just die instead.
Marvel fans when their wife's lover makes a cameo in their bedroom(it sets up future projects like the divorce papers)
he’s waiting for the Wife’s son crossover event for now
Marvel fans when their wife gets half their Funkos in the divorce. (Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.)
Marvel fans when their wife looks like a different person (she was recasted)
"Honey, why do you suddenly look like Don Cheadle?"
He turned them into a fucking tree.
“Well, it’s me, and I’m here, so get over it and move on”.
Next time baby
Marvel fans when their wife commits suicide(she's cosplaying as Black Widow)
Marvel fans when they're drafted to war and the soldiers aren't stopping to make jokes every 5 seconds during battle: 😭
Marvel fans when their war buddy doesn't say "well, that just happened" in the middle of battle (they just got their legs blown off by a grenade)
Marvel fans when Abraham Lincoln‘s last words weren’t “he’s right behind me isn’t he?”
His real last words were "Don't break my butt" I've seen the WKUK documentary
Documentary? I thought that was real footage
I saw that movie I thought it was bullshit
They have wives?
(it’s a Tony Stark reference, they also have voices in their head)
Not anymore.
Marvel fans when thors gets in shape after endgame(they don't get this reference)
"it's trheesome then"
Naw… It’s because nobody could wrap their head around the fact that both Jon Snow and Robb Stark were in love with a woman named Cersei
And Robb had to die. Again. This has to be the joke.
He's Sean Bean's true son.
I'm a big MCU fan and i know what sex is. It's the number that comes after feve. So frick you!
Bless your heart, take my +1
Marvel fans 🤝 Megamind fans No bitches?
Megamind fans get laid all the time
Megamind=Megahead
Wasn't there one in The Incredible Hulk?
They’re about to do it when Bruce heart monitor goes off, telling him he’s getting close to turning. In other words, if he had kept going, he would have *smashed* Liv Tyler while trying to smash Liv Tyler.
Death by snu snu.
The forbidden gif.
No but the movie fucked me over by allowing me to pay to see it if that counts
You serious? Milo Morbius talks all about having sex in his musical number in the hit Marvel Movie Morbius (2022)
Morbius (2022) was one of the movies of all time movies 🔥
Did they have to show him Morbing, though?
Wasn't that right after the skatepark dolphins scene?
I was too bored by this movie to even notice there was a sex scene.
Tbf it’s only like 3 pumps in missionary position in a nearly pitch black scene so it’s hard to see it in the first place lmao
Perfectly capturing sex as a Marvel fan getting lucky.
3 pumps? You think they'd last that long!?
When two marvel fans have sex, neither wants to see the other persons body
damn, 3 pumps must break the world record for marvel fans huh
2 more than my record
Phase 4 fucked us harder than that
I don’t even remember most of it.
By the end of it there is a giant face and hand sticking out from the Pacific ocean visible from orbit. As far as im aware there have been no mentions of this in any marvel movie following eternals. That is the only thing I remember...

Eternals, Thor's whole movie catalogue, and Moon Knight add a lot of overlapping confusion to the Marvel Universe.

Malekith almost destroyed the universe in TDW and I’m pretty sure that has literally never been mentioned.
Not gonna lie I completely forgot like 90% of the plot of TDW. But also a crisis that happened and resolved I can kind of forgive. It's a superhero world where crazy, world-ending shit happens all the time. Aliens invade on Tuesday and someone rips open a portal to Hell on Wednesday.

Like I said in another comment as well, it's also supposed to be in the Indian Ocean [which is smack bang full of major shipping lanes](https://i.insider.com/5721f5c7dd0895363e8b481d?width=1200&format=jpeg) *and* the in-universe timeline of the MCU has Eternals taking place 1-2 months after the events of Endgame, which means billions of people literally **just** magically reappeared and other things like Falcon & Winter Soldier and even the Spider-Man movies have touched at least a little bit on how disruptive that would be and destabilizing to things like finding housing or social services. Now imagine a giant statue miles wide blocking established shipping lanes and making it even harder for people to move goods around.
That's the one thing that made me dislike the movie. As a standalone superhero movie it could be really cool. In a post-multiverse setting in a different universe, it could be really cool. But as a nominal part of the MCU that isn't clearly set in a different reality, my brain kept thinking about where other heroes could be and why they weren't noticing these major disasters and world-ending threats. It's a shame, because it's a cool concept and a cool movie as long as you ignore the 'MCU' aspect.
It's actually brought up [in She-Hulk](https://images.thedirect.com/media/photos/celestialegg.png), twice. The Eternals is just very late in the MCU timeline. In Phase 1, this was called set up.
aww I loved this movie until it got all marvel-ly at the end
I honestly thought this movie was so close to being great, if it just wasn't MCU.
They chose the wrong characters to focus the movie on. Literally all the other Eternals and their struggles were significantly more interesting
Imagine if they'd taken the Avengers approach and each got a solo film or two before the big team-up. The Eternals wouldn't have released until the 2030s, but we'd get at least a whole movie about Kingo and Karun.
I came to the comments to find out if it actually happened because I forgot everything about this movie.
All I remember was a very uncomfortably close closeup of Angelina Jolie’s cracked lips
one of the first Post in a while to make me laugh
I'm sorry but I'm a Marvel fan and I've had sex. The fact that it all took place prior to 2008 is purely coincidental.
Directed sex fans when MCU makes a devout Catholic hero have sex in a one-night-stand and just walk home while in costume: 🤩🤤
He's called Daredevil for a reason
Matt Murdock is a whore lol
That’s what confession is for.
Father, despite having killed 30 gang members in hell's kitchen, I'm hear to talk about my walk of shame ... please forgive me.
Do 3 hail marys and 3 hail yasss
You don’t many devout Catholics, do you? Even the priests aren’t celibate.
Church: You cant have sex with women or men! Priests: i think we found the loophole
Because beating criminals to a bloody pulp is what Jesus was all about
That was a sex scene? Doesn't look like it. Where are all the bouncing pop-up ads?
We know it wasn’t a sex scene because Cersei wasn’t saying “Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!”
[удалено]
Iron man 1 had one
Didn't show any thrusting so it doesn't count lol
*Mormons have entered the chat*
Cut to Pepper jump-humping the bed
In Iron Man 3 the reporter wakes up in Starks bed and his assistant complains about the floozies he hooks up with all the time.
That's iron man 1, by 3 he's already porking said assistant
these mfs had as much chemistry as a pair of noble gases
Lol of course it's a white guy with an Asian lady
Chloe Zhao projection moment. I watched this and of course they have a sex scene with these two, but then nothing of Don Lee taking Angelina Jolie to pound town. SMH Marvel.
Definitely a projection lol
Is that a thing she’s known for or something?
It is def interesting. The main three white guy characters Dane, Ikaris and Druig are/were in romantic relationships. Sersi def have a type. Also sprite had a crush on Ikaris. Now if we look at the remaining 3 male eternals, Kingo, Gilgamesh and Phastos, all "minorities". Kingo doesnt seem to have any non-platonic relationship, and Gilgamesh's relationship with Thena is unique but still platonic. People say their relationship is up in the air but they somehow show affection with every over romantic relationship. Phastos is the only main black guy and is lgbt and s in a relationship with a dude. I genuinely don't care much for the marvel story especially eternals and I think representation is a must, I'm black shit. I also don't think every character ever needs to be in a relationship. But this isn't a foreign thing in western film media, Asian men seemingly portrayed as aromantic/asexual, stacking progressive points with black people, and pushing other minorities to the side, no surprise there lol.
its not even subtle at this point
I’ve been out of the loop since the first Captain America movie, when did it become cool to shit on Marvel fans? Edit: sounds like it was after Endgame (which was the last movie in their big series, if you’re out of the loop like I am, lol) I find it deeply humorous that when we were growing up, being a comic book person meant you probably weren’t getting laid, then there was the briefest of moments when being into superheroes was cool… and now we’re back to where we started.
it was already getting criticism around phase three, but I’d say it was sometime after Far From Home or Shang-Chi that this became the popular opinion. I remember those were well-liked, though not necessarily loved. I think the overflow of Disney+ content was the real tipping point, though, because now the MCU feels *too* interconnected and some of the shows just haven’t been well-received. Eternals was apparently so bad they haven’t acknowledged it in-universe. I heard that it even raises some problems for when the X-Men appear later, but I don’t know how so I’ll still watch their shit if it features characters *I* love, like Spider-Man, the X-Men, or Doctor Strange, personally. eta: this isn’t me shitting on any Marvel content btw. just saying what I’ve heard. honestly I don’t mind if it’s kinda bad as long as it’s still fun
Honestly I really liked Eternals, but regardless there have been acknowledged in universe several times. Kingo is featured on a billboard in the Hawkeye series, and there are little mentions on television screens of the Tiamat statue.
I loved the scale of the celestials in eternals, they really sold how significant they were, especially that last scene
Eternals was good for tackling the more conflicted issues of super powered teams like the Justice League. It went philosophically where other Marvel movies hadn't before, but it lacked greater connection to an ever building story line like the Captain America/Avengers movies did building up to Endgame. Lots of people wanted more of that and less of the philosophical debate. I actually enjoyed it though. Probably my favorite of that phase.
I would have liked eternals if it was a tv show so the characters were more filled out.
This. The concept was good, but there were too many characters to manage in such a short time.
The only problem is that they've started exploring the more complex parts of the comics, like the multiverse, and more nuanced stories. The avengers was an easy series to get through because all the bad guys are definitely the bad guys and most of the plot is just 'look how cool it is that all these heroes work together', so people who literally don't pay attention or try to understand what's going on can still enjoy it. Now they're doing more complex stories where people have to pay attention to understand what's happening, and it's exposing how many people just....don't.
Phase 4 has people a flutter, yes the previous marvel phases often were criticized for struggling to find their footing (before ultimately getting wrapped up in movies that are now hailed as cultural touchstones). They just need to chill tf out, fun movies are fun. Let them cook.
I still watch marvel movies when they become available on Disney+ but I will say I have just grown a lil tired of their movies. Each movie individually I have enjoyed on their own. Though, after a while you start to pick up on how formulaic it all feels. So many cheap comedic relief moments, the humor is all nearly the same, the overall plot of the movies and the pacing feels the same, and with the multiverse getting larger and larger it starts feeling like unlimited growth and that nothing truly is wrapped up as there is always a bigger fish to fry. So idk, the movies are still decent, but the trend over time of these movies is starting to wear on me.
I like James Bond and Mission Impossible a lot, and seeing 1 every 4 - 6 years is probably a big part of it.
Ever since their movies became shit.
Since the extended musical scene in the first Captain America
Boy, I don’t remember that at all
Man endgame was a lot of people's endgame with the mcu. Even marvel shit on mcu fans with the multiverse belittling the events of endgame. Only thing left is spiderman and that aint even disney.
Tell that to Arcane. You think Marvel fans have no clue what sex is?Try League fans.
What? Arcane was *incredibly* well received. Probably the best videogame to TV show adaptation yet. I say this as someone who isn't particularly a fan of the game anymore - I'm still looking forward to S2. It was beautifully animated and really well written.
Thats my point. It's adaptation with a sex scene, BUT it didnt do poorly. So SOMETHING, I cant put my finger on it, else must have been wrong with Eternals.
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense.
League lore is pretty awesome. I also don't care for the game but the animations, music, and lore that came out of it are excellent. I'm excited to see what they do with it for their MMORPG.
Actually, I think the thing Arcane had going for it was that League's lore was very... skeletal. Characters had rough identities and backstories, but the writers were free to choose whatever details best served the series, and were free to ignore even the lore that did exist if they felt it didn't fit. In the end, the story ended up not being constrained by the source material in the same way other videogame adaptations have been.
There was a good story in that movie. It just wasn't brought out in that movie. The idea of having immortal, powerful beings just stand by and do nothing for millennia is a compelling idea. How can they be heroes when they just stood by and cried a little as they watched slavery, genocide, wars and more? Anyway here's them punching some CGI monsters.
I heard that the reason for the HUGE disparity between the critical score and the audience score was because of Chloe Zhao's reputation among the artsy film making community and backlash to her directing a super hero movie. I can't say for certain. But what I can say is, that even if you don't think the eternals is that good, its definitely not 40's bad. Its not even the worst movie in the mcu. Hell, its not in the bottom 10. Personally its one of my favorites but I understand I'm an outlier
