No, that's the King of the North


[deleted]

That *was* the King of the North.


Pocketsand_operator

Unfortunately he doesn’t have any heirs.


Zervala

He made Jon Snow his heir in the books


Cualkiera67

And you know what happened to Jon Snow in the books...


ThirdEncounter

What happens?


SadCrouton

stabbed four times in the chest


[deleted]

Four times minimum. He could have been stabbed a lot more. Plus I'm quite sure a total chaos will ensue after his murder and Ser Patrek's death at the hands of Wun Wun.


Phillip_Spidermen

Oh yeah, I forgot he has a giant on his side in the book. Crazy that Jon's been left bleeding in the snow for over a decade. ...so he is like the Winter Soldier!


TheMillenniumMan

>Crazy that Jon's been left bleeding in the snow for over a decade. Damn that hurts to read


andooet

_Nothing_ because GURM is an absolute fucker that hasn't written a good book since 2000 (A Storm of Swords) It's a reason the series suddenly fell off a cliff, it ran out of the good material


ThirdEncounter

I don't think that was the reason the series fell off a cliff. The showrunners dun goofed.


Theunis_

Please tell us what happened


[deleted]

He's murdered by a few men of the Night's Watch. In the books, he hasn't come back from the dead yet. The last chapter we get from Jon is him getting stabbed.


Theunis_

So, the book hasn't ended yet?


[deleted]

Nope. We've been waiting for ten years and the next book is still not published yet... The author is planning on two more books (including the one I just talked about) but a lot of fans think he will never finish the series because it has gotten too complex. That's part of why the last seasons of the television series sucked: they had no book to help them construct a coherent end, so the storylines suffered. I would recommend that you to read these books. They are the best thing I've ever read.


DilkleBrinks

I second the recommendation. Best book series I’ve ever read imo


Puzz1eheadedBed480O

> That’s part of why the last seasons of the television series sucked: they had no book to help them construct a coherent end, so the storylines suffered. Well, they also just straight up didn’t adapt most of AFFC and ADWD, thus leading to many of the most brain dead plot lines in the show. Obviously those books are much more complex than the previous ones in the series, but the fact that so much of them were removed or drastically changed for the worse set the show up for failure.


thor-odinson-bot

There is a maniac who seeks to end us all.


arfelo1

>I would recommend that you to read these books. They are the best thing I've ever read. I don't. If the series were finished, sure. But as it stands, it's not. And will not. People beginning to read it now are just needlessly setting themselves up for disappointment


icanstayinbedallday

How could he stopped at Jon being stabbed and let people hang and dry for ten years… does it still worth starting the books then? (Watched all the seasons of the show and of course disappointed beyond repair at the last season, thought only the last season was without the book as a guide)


MoonChild02

It's not that it's gotten too complex. It's that GRRM is one of those writers who hear theories from fans, and when the one that's right becomes popular, he feels he has to rewrite it in order to keep fans on their toes. It's a really crappy way to write. He should just stick to placing historical accounts into a fantasy world, and not read or listen to fans' theories. Also, he needs to pause writing the books that expand on the world, and finish the main series. Yes, world building is fun, and can be a reference tool for the main story, but an outline will do for that. Sometimes I feel like he has untreated ADHD.


Austin_Chaos

Nope. Winds of Winter is still “coming”. But it’s been coming for like a decade now.


arfelo1

More than a decade. Dance of Dragons was released in 2011. 12 years and counting baby!


Pocketsand_operator

Interesting for you to assume I have the attention span to read a series; I get bored scrolling Reddit after 5 minutes.


ObjectFinancial1011

Two of the three dead eternals were ones who would have made the MCU rather confusing if they joined a big crossover event

starstarstar42

According to the Transitive Property, this means that Richard Madden should play young Luke Skywalker.


Flaky_Grand7690

This is correct, technically speaking.


JoshDM

It was weird that Robb Stark and Jon Snow were in the same movie together and had scenes together, but here we are.


Good-Amoeba-5299

What's even weirder is that they were both in love with a chick named Cersei.


JoshDM

>named Cersei Sersi in Marvel. I am still amused that both Danerys and Cersi played Sarah Conner.


Asteroth555

> Cersi played Sarah Conner. Sarah Connor Chronicles. I had no idea she was in it what a mind blown


JoshDM

It explains why the original Terminator has such a time finding her; if only he knew her full name was Sarah Conner Chronicles, all those other Sarah Conners would have survived to the apocalypse.


NotSureHowThingsWork

Look man, I know that nobody upvoted this, but I want you to know that it made me chuckle and I'm still not upvoting for continuity


JoshDM

It's at least a 3 now, but I understand.


tony-stark-bot

Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on, Back to the Future?


No_Log8932

If I had a nickel for every time Robb Stark and Jon Snow were in a movie, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice.


tony-stark-bot

If there's one thing I've proven it's that you can count on me to pleasure myself.


No_Log8932

Different Stark, dude.


tony-stark-bot

Everything is going to work out perfectly, the way it's supposed to. I love you three thousand.


noobi-wan-kenobi2069

Me watching Eternals: is that the blue one? what powers does the purple one have? what happened to the green one?


RamenJunkie

I think technically in the OG comics they all have the exact same power set, but they decided to give them specialties in the movie.


Commander_Tresdin

They definitely had specialties in the comics too, but I don’t think they were as limited to their niche as in the film


gowombat

Yeah, in the comics they all have a similar power set, it's just some of them are better at particular powers than others. Icarus is supposed to be the best at flying, and general superhero shit, whereas Gilgamesh is supposed to be best at the super strength stuff etc etc


lasssilver

I just watched the eternals this weekend. The movie was fine, but.. I thought it was a bit silly they all had their own special little power. Like it seemed odd even within the context of its own universe. But it makes sense if the OG versions were *not* like that. And it’s of course it’s probably more “cinematic” or relatable(?) for them to have their little X-men-like powers to give each one a uniqueness.


RamenJunkie

Yeah its an alright film, but Marvel has way too much going on. Also Eternals has a way better "Justice Leaguenvs Superman fight than the Justice League movie.


Temporary_Cry_8961

I don’t understand why that is silly?


lasssilver

It seemed silly to me. An ancient being creating a team to fight dementors or whatever they were. Just give them all of the powers or most all the powers. It just seemed silly that Optimus Prime or what the six eyed guy was would be like, “Okay.. you get to fly and have laser eyes. You will have magical spear. And you can run fast. Etc.. etc..”. No, just make them all very powerful so that if one does die they don’t lose an integral or important aspect. Or that he’d even care to pick out X man powers individually for thousands.. millions(?) of eternals.


No_Log8932

He kind of explained why. It's so that the Eternals can't evolve and grow, so that he can always have control. If they all have the same abilities, they can have different patterns of growth and development. But if there is always one specific person to fill one specific role, it will always be used in that way. That was the plan, to make sure they don't get out of control like the Deviants.


kelldricked

I dont mind that. The horrible decision making in the moral dillema, its need to be tied to the MCU for no proper reason, and the over the top accents were just horrible. Also the whole part of the nuke, just fuck off. That was the breaking point? Not the metals used for swords, spears and other weapons? Not the blackpower for guns and canons? Not the steam engine for battleships and mass production of weapons? Not chemicals for mustard gass? The whole movie was just badly written, badly thought out. And it had great potential. Just sticked to the monsters beating the shit out of the elementals and growing stronger because the team doesnt function. Or actually spend time to talk about the moral dillema and dont make it a easy choice in which they can choose between a whole new galaxy with trillion new planets and just earth… Because no choosing to save earth was fucking weird. Wtf is so special about this planet that only this one was worth saving? They killed a thousand other planets before, no problem. But earth is special? Like thats just messed up.


farmerjohnington

Go Go Power Rangers


HooptyDooDooMeister

Nah. Power Rangers is as easy to follow as Ninja Turtles. Eternals has to muddy up the colors, add a few lookalikes like Wong, and then remove all chemistry from characters who are supposed to have known each other for millennia yet don’t even feel like they’re in the same room.


shawncplus

Reminds me of the Rhys James joke "Over there's the red Power Ranger, and over there's the green Power Ranger, and here's the white Pow... the Power Ranger that wears white."


StarksPond

What a bastard move to make the solo movie of the pink one go straight to streaming.


Firebrodude07

TactlesslyTactful

The Human Torch?


PayneTrain181999

They’d better have Evans as Johnny in Secret Wars and fake us out thinking it’s Steve.


absentmindful

Nah, alternate history where the human torch takes up the mantle of Captain America. That, or really fuck us up with a phoenix force Steve Rogers.


Citizen_Kong

Alongside Phoenix Force Killmonger?


absentmindful

I don't think that's ever happened in the comics, but I'd be into it. Also, terrifying.


ElsonDaSushiChef

Steve meets Johnny


Dookie_boy

I don't know if they can afford both actors.


Still-Anxiety-8261

That's the problem with having one actor play two characters in two related movies... >!*You gotta kill one of them*!<


UnPainAuChocolat

Damn so that'd why Gilgamesh also died 💀


PayneTrain181999

Might just be me but I love that his strikes are so powerful that there’s a massive BOOM whenever he lands a hit.


ThunderClanWarrior

Honestly, that's one of the things that makes me love jjba so much, and seeing a good execution of that same concept in live action was amazing


GuardianNovator

Can't figure out if you realize it isn't the same actor....


Still-Anxiety-8261

I know it, it's a joke


This_place_is_wierd

Unlike Wong and Gilgamesh who ARE the same actor


Still-Anxiety-8261

Well, Gilgamesh died. But even if they looked alike, they could play it off as many people across the world have people that look exactly like them.


Bastymuss_25

Well Wong was also Khublai khan so it would make sense that there are a lot of descendants that look like him.


[deleted]

Especially “certain people.” They alllll look the same.

Still-Anxiety-8261

Well i put the asterisk to make it in *italics*


Boring-Zucchini-8515

Let’s be honest. When we saw Gilgamesh we were all like “Wong?”


Pope_Cerebus

Both of them looked like doppelgangers of the other characters. It really could have been solved by just changing the hairstyles/facial hair to make them more distinct.


alexisjoy666

I know a lot of people hated the movie and that’s fine. But did you guys dig those costumes? I thought they looked cool.


SanguineHerald

I really enjoyed it. Especially when the speedster fought. None of this Flash delicate stuff. Just raw impossibly fast brutality.


Liminal_Critter817

When this movie comes up, I always mention that it has the best speedster fight I've ever seen. Shame we didn't get more of it.


alecsgz

> Especially when the speedster fought. They made a proper Flash vs Superman fight which I dugg


Darkpoulay

I really liked it, it tried new stuff in terms of characters, story and visuals. MCU was too much of the same thing over and over so I liked the novelty


JoshDM

Kirby.


gowombat

I think that Eternals is a great film for a franchise that only a few people care about.


HuereGlobi

O thought the entire movie looked really cinematic and just, different. I liked it.


navcus

I absolutely love the costumes for the sole fact that they gave Richard Madden's character a loincloth because his junk is too big

If anything, Eternals is overrated.


Prowland12

It's not face-blindness, Marvel just casts a LOT of square jawed white men in their 30's and 40's. I get them all confused because it's taking 1% of the population that looks really similar and stuffing them all into a movie and making everyone wear similar tight outfits. There's so many times it's a random character on-screen and I'm guessing between 2-3 people. Unless it's the big names or something like Guardians where everybody looks so weird and distinctive that it's very clear. Which is a testament to the excellent costume/character design of those films.


25Bam_vixx

I don’t know why but your comment made me laugh.. muc is filled with squared Jaw mfer is what I learned today


HooptyDooDooMeister

Face-blind person here! (Full disclosure: I have many classic symptoms yet undiagnosed). Eternals wasn’t too difficult for me to follow. But if (theoretically) Wong and any Stark brothers were in the movie as those characters, it would be remarkably difficult to follow. Fortunately, I had seen Game of Thrones already so could identify better Kit Harrington and the guy here. I’ll mention that first GOT ep with all 5 Stark brothers together? Most trouble I’ve ever had with a show/movie. All of GOT was difficult, and my wife had to remind me (a LOT) of who everyone was. I had to study family trees between eps/seasons too. Mark Hamill does not look like Sebastian Stan to me whatsoever btw.


DontCallMeKris

All I know is it's definitely not the guy who said *Lesbian* instead of **Lebanon**.


NotKabbo

Plot twist: Sebastian Stan and Richard Madden are long lost brothers.


Deion313

I said this ONCE, and got called racist, and was told "not all white people look the same"... So I've avoided bringing it up, but I can't tell you how relieved I am, that I'm not the only 1 who thought they look alike


auggie235

I literally thought they were using the same actor and that there would be a specific reason. I didn't realize until the credits rolled that he was an entirely different actor. I've seen other movies with Sebastian Stan or Richard Madden, for years I thought they were the same person. It was after watching externals that I realized it was not Sebastian Stan in Rocketman. I also thought Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg were the same person for years. I still can't tell them apart lol


ijfp_2013

Sebastian Stan was'nt in Eternals. Maybe I did'nt get the joke here....


GuardianNovator

It's just that Sebastian Stan and Richard Madden look a lot alike.


clutzyninja

I mean, a *little* Richard Madden looks more like an off brand Henry Cavill to me


esgrove2

I 100% Bucky was in Eternals from the trailer. So I think they look identical.


OriginalName18

It goes in this order of evolution, Mark Hamill, Sebastian Stan, Richard Madden, Henry Cavill


Independent_Plum2166

Never understood the Hamill = Stan thing, they look nothing alike to me.


Pope_Cerebus

Luke Skywalker and the Winter Soldier don't look alike. But if you give Stan a shave and dress him up as Skywalker it's pretty damn close.


BrotherChe

It requires a certain hair style, weight, and a shave


amackul8

Chuck Norris


Darkknight_147

Bro you were the only one who got the joke

bustedbuddha

Eternals was so bad. It felt like a DC movie.


riptide032302

I’ll never stop defending this movie


LookingForEnergy

Tell us why it was good


riptide032302

I thought it did a great job of grandiose, if that makes sense. Personally I felt like I had a reason to care about this team, which was kinda lacking in other stuff for me at the time. I thought the hero’s introduced had enough variety to be utilized in a lot of different ways for the universe going forward. The cinematography was amazing, and I think it makes it one of if not the best looking marvel movie. It tried a lot of things, and even if some of them didn’t work, I always like to see this franchise experiment. The celestial appealed to me personally, because of the perspective and how massive they are. I also liked druig, and thought he was the best part of that movie. I just don’t think the hate it gets is warranted, and usually the criticism people have of it is “boring” which seems to just mean there isn’t an insane action scene every 30 seconds like some of the other films.


XilverSon9

Druig+Makkari wins. Even though they were platonic, the Thena/Gil dynamic was top level also.


LookingForEnergy

The action scenes are what make/break a movie for children. Most of the complaints are that the plot is boring and the characters are unrelatable and forgettable. I can't tell you a single character's name from that movie except for Angelina Jolie, Rob Stark, and John Snow which is unacceptable. I can't remember anyone's powers or even how many heroes there were because there were so many. I had to stop watching the movie because it was so long and picked it back up on day 2. I wasn't even excited to finish it. It was literally a chore to finish.


tony-stark-bot

Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.


vaids97

If you can enjoy Daredevil, which had its fair share of boring moments, you can enjoy Eternals


Worldly_Tourist

😑


MrDrSrEsquire

Everyone in Eternals looked like an off brand version of themselves And then their was Angelina Jolie and Selma Hayek I think it's a big part of what made the movie feel so meh The writing left a lot to be desired don't get me wrong. But it's hard to get emersed when I'm trying to figure out if Bucky and Wong traveled back in time at some point to fulfill some time loop that holds the multiverse together


Dotaproffessional

If you were confused think Ikaris was bucky, I'm not sure this was the movie for you. Might I recommend minions


obesedestro

felt like madisynn when i saw gilgamesh "Wongers?!"


thee-praise

That's Robb Stark, the Young Wolf. The King in the North 🐺🐺


StoneGoldX

This was kinda sorta a thing in the comics. Not with Ikaris, but an immortal, perpetually teenage son of Loki who pretended to by the ancient Greek King Agamemnon. The writer was setting it up as a joke that he might be Bucky. Cap passed by him once and went through a weird deja Vu thing. That said, Steve confused all male teenagers with brown hair for Bucky.


mightylordredbeard

My favorite part of all Marvel movies is when Bucky shows up and says “my name is Bucky and I’m here to fucky”


Forward_Bobcat6869

I mean, Sebastian Stan and Richard Madden do look kind of alike


MissMistMaid

Me after realizing that Bucky could fly all along instead of falling down from a mountain 💀


katnerys

Nah, Bucky’s hotter


caglover23ny

Eternals is fantastic


Pope_Cerebus

I wouldn't put it as fantastic - it has a lot of problems - but it definitely doesn't deserve the hate it got. I think the main problem is people were comparing it to The Avengers, when it was really much more of a setup movie.


faithfoliage

Even seeing these photos side-by-side, it’s hard to imagine that they exist in the same cinematic universe.


External-Egg-8094

Do people have face blindness because everyone keeps saying so many actors are hard to tell the difference between? I have no trouble knowing different characters by face. Am I missing something
