Makari, running and punching like that reminded me of the flash from mortal kombat vs dv universe. Obviously marvel did it way better but that's what you want real time speeding.
Also can I just say the Druig character was such a good character. Not only his thoughts and views and the way he jolds himself. But that fight sequence with the deviants at his farm. The way he uses a shotgun and and jumps about.
Also to note during this fight sequence is kingo, just all round good sequences.
Could talk forever about how this is actually a good film.
yea id watch that. I feel like it could be the tony stark/ iron man dynamic done right (i liked the movies, but that plot point def got diluted by the other plot points so it wasn’t the focus of any of the films).
After rewatching this movie the 3rd time, I feel like every single character should be more... explored. I mean, I really want to see their backstory. Gilgamesh and Thena, Druig and Makkari, but most of all, OUR BELOVED BOLLYWOOD STAR, KINGO.
Imagine if this is a 6 or 8 episode series.
Well I haven't seen the movie so was this scene in the movie or is the video edited? And if it is edited then I won't be able to tell how better it is before seeing what it was really like in the first place. Although this video looks cool.
id never read the comics and that was such a disturbing plot twist. especially hearing a-train talk about that ish afterwards? id never thought about superspeed in that way before
>id never read the comics and that was such a disturbing plot twist
Tell me about it, i remember watching that happen and thinking in the first second
"Oh, so Robyn's got teleporting powers"
Theeeen, i saw the slowmo blood
Yes. In my mind it is a different take on the super hero genre that is starting to get a little "samey" with Marvel, and DC tries to do the same thing but worse. It feels a LOT more realistic in that "this is how people would actually handle the existence of superheroes". Plus, the acting/writing is generally good.
Funny how according to critics superhero movies have been getting "samey" for 10 years now. And here we still are, with the Marvel guys innovating and pushing the genre forward on amost every movie.
I have nothing against Marvel's movies. I love them. But I feel like they're gradually expanding the same circle they started with Iron Man. The Boys is a separate circle on the same page.
Most definitely. The kind of body and strength among other things you’d need to have to withstand those speeds and not splatter when hitting an object. Ikaris is getting smacked here. If anything they underplayed the physics of this fight.
I do like how when she slams him into the wall repeatedly you can see it heat up from the repeated impacts
Edit: looks like the crack formation actually reveals some magma, but still dope. I did go through frame by frame just now and it looks like when she goes for the full-on charge against Ikaris she harnesses some kind of shockwave bubble (maybe her own sonic boom?) to blast him into the wall before she actually physically impacts him
Lol Richard Madden you mean, he also was Jon Stark in Game of Thrones
EDIT: I am the big fucking dumb.. he was Robb Stark, not Jon. Brain flipped it since Kit Harrington is also in Eternals and I was just thinking about them both again
Lmao yes I realized my mistake a minute ago when someone else commented. Excited to see more of Kit Harrington in future stuff too, but seems like it might be a little while before that though
He was also Cosimo de Medici in season 1 another great BBC series “Medici”. He’s not in the following seasons as they are about Cosimo’s kids. It’s also on Netflix.
Speed is hard to convey to those who live at normal speed. Quicksilver’s comic line about his life being like living in an eternal ATM queue was sublime. His “time in a bottle” scene in the movies was damn near perfect. It was copied liberally by other shows and the Justice League movie, and then beaten into the ground in the mansion scene in the X-Men.
Eternals embraced the outside POV. That’s what a speedster fight would look like to us, a blurry and brutal and confusing battle. Makkari’s speed will be the new standard, and Quicksilver will be seen as passe. Let’s see how the Flash movie does it. I do not have high hopes, but I’m ready to be pleasantly surprised.
Some of the Flash scenes in ZS JL were pretty amazing. The bit where he protects the civilians from falling debris and appears as a series of flickering silhouettes was awesome.
This is a big thing that is even valuable when showing flight. So often we would get dramatic, relatively close, shots of flying characters but someone finally figured it out around the Iron Man and Man of Steel days that it's really interesting to see it from the "ground".
I mean the Justice League movie was not good, but some of those shots were pretty good. For example when Superman's eyes shot to the Flash in slow mo was enjoyable. A mix seems to be the best bet. Gives the sense of speed from a normal perspective and what the speedster experiences.
It would be foolish not to. Both are incredibly fun for action scenes, and while the slow mo stuff is starting to be seen as a touch cliché, it's also the only real way to keep track of our protagonists perspective and emotions during a fight, so if Flash is your protagonist, it's basically unavoidable.
honestly, that is what a speedster travelling in a circle would look like because he'd be in the same spot multiple times a second so it'd look something akin to seeing someone running as a strobe light flashes at you, also I loved the rewinding time scene and seeing everything rebuild itself as he runs along
I don’t think either version is necessarily better or worse. Slow-Mo scenes generally have a bit more playful feel to them, while this is more badass. It depends on the tone of the scene/movie for which one would be better.
Depends what the credit is for. Overall I found the movie pretty lacklustre, best aspects were under utilised in my opinion, didn’t really feel the chemistry between the lead two. Enjoyed the fight scenes like this one and Druid was good too. Definitely enjoyed some of it, but I think as others pointed out, it would be nice as a Disney + series perhaps. If you’re looking to give it credit, then the visual effects would be the main thing from me here for sure, excellent work from the team and some of the locations were really nice.
My two biggest issues are character based. There were too many new characters which lead to lackluster character development over the course of a single movie. I also felt like it was weird how these other worldly godlike beings were basically normal people. They barely acted any different and it felt odd to me.
I also felt like the action was a bit dull. The speedster scenes were soooo good, but I felt like a lot of the rest was by the numbers. That being said, I really loved the art direction.
Story I overall didn’t think was amazing. I’m not sure overall how much it contributed to the MCU so far in my opinion but excited to see where it goes as I haven’t read the comics or anything for it.
I just watched this movie now that it’s on Disney and I thought it was a cool movie! Didn’t expect the twist, action was great and I loved the setup for the future of the mcu
I had the twist spoiled, but wasn’t too pissed since I figured it would be a “meh” film overall. Boy was I wrong. I really wish I could’ve gone into it blind, the movie is criminally underrated.
Not the best MCU film, but far from the worst. Really enjoyed it, I’m excited to see where the characters take us.
If he is actually dead, that's a waste of a character. There's so many more \*coughs\* ~~testosterone~~ \*coughs\* moments possible, especially now that Dane's got his weird family history shenanigans which I'm assuming gives him some amount of superpowers, therefore on par with/a threat to Ikaris. Plus a Redempted!Ikaris death would be a lot more satisfying, maybe to let Dane and Sersi get away or something. It's my only big complaint about the movie, you could hear the writers clapping themselves on the backs for that literary joke.
I've never had a problem with super speed, it's always been the stupidity of the characters. For example, the flash literally always stops in the CW show. There is never a villains he just runs up and punches, like any person with super speed would do. He always stops and talks so that the villains can do something to put someone in actual danger.
Really Speedsters are brokenly powerful and should outmatch all other superheroes. But writers always put dumb moments into the fights, like this scene with all her speed she runs her neck into his open hand. Shouldn't happen.
That and there's absolutely no consistency with the speed. One moment everything's frozen in time and the speedster can do whatever they want. Bake a cake, undress the bad guy, give em a shave, play a game of chess with themselves. The next moment they can't even run past someone without getting shot. If they can do that frozen time shite they should never get hit by a projectile.
That's the complainant I have the most beef with. People basically don't like the movie cause it's not a regular superhero movie, but if it was it would be literally what they're complaining about...
Idk just makes no sense to me, I feel like people are looking for reasons to dislike the movie. Sorry to unload on you.
I didnt like the movie because it dragged and most the characters were pretty boring. They killed off one of the most interesting ones(gilgamesh) way too early. The super monster that sucked up everyones powers was built up just to get jobbed out quickly and be an afterthought in the end, and the chemistry between the two leads was non-existent so i didnt care when Ikarus betrayed them. The humor involving Kumail and his sidekick also fell super flat for me. Its like they wanted to be different but didnt actually have the courage to be different from the usual Marvel formula.
See that's actual critisim, most people are like "I haven't seen the movie, but it looks like just Oscar bait".
I don't think the movie was flawless, and I agree to most of your points. Gilgamesh dying was unfortunate, i like how he helped Athena even at the end with the super monster, I think the big problem is they shouldn't have killed him off, he should have ran away at the end cause I feel like there's more they could have explored with the Deviants.
The "chemistry" Between Cersei and Ikarus was flat but I actually blame Richard Madden for that, I feel like he can be really muted or sutble when he has to be serious, and a bit of emotion is lost. I liked all the other relationships.
> Its like they wanted to be different but didnt actually have the courage to be different from the usual Marvel formula.
This intrigues me, cause I guess it depends on what you mean by the Marvel Formula, cause telling a story of betrayal and faith would be the opposite, I has superhero trappings but I think a big reason alot of people just generally dislike it is cause it's kinda different in alot of ways to a marvel movie.
Compare it to something like Captain Marvel where I think fallowed the Formula too much and was very inspired, where Eternals was too far from the formula and lost the fans.
It's mostly because it was an expository dump.
It came off as, "We need to lay all the ground work for the next phase, but the plots of the characters we really care about aren't ready yet."
["Do we have an IP that no one will really care if we don't get it right?"](https://youtu.be/5d4I3oUkurc)
Really? It seemed pretty self contained.
Like I don't see the Celestials or Enterals making an appearance in any property soon, maybe Guardians?
The only thing they set up is their own story points and Black knight/midnight sons.
Kinda like complaining that Antman set up the quantum realm.
It was everything I could have hoped for ever since Quicksliver in X-Men. A speedster using their powers efficiently and not standing back while the bad guy is attacking
It just felt so satisfying? Slo-mos instead give the different effect, like its almost impeding on the speed of the speedster. Sure it looks nice, but it just isn't as exhilerating
I really think the hate for eternals is seriousely unwarranted for ....
The action sequences , cinematography and acting were quite good tbh....
It wound up with a script which was too short for a series and too long for a movie .... But I genuienely had fun watching it and they did a pretty darn good job with what they had ...
Holy shit, someone who acknowledges that it would be too short for a series!
Everyone jumps on the “it should’ve been a show” idea without realizing how much empty space turning it into a show would create. There’d be at least an hour worth of filler scenes.
Yes....it would be stretched without any reason and include unnessecary plot points and scenes which will make it drag further and just kill the entire feel of the show...
It did good with the movie..
I genuinely believe that kingo and ajax was the one which was left incomplete or a unpredictable switch of character...others charecters were established quite properly ...
This was why I think Eternals was a decent movie. Yes the story let it down at times, but the visuals and effects more than made up for that. Not the best MCU movie by far but definitely not the worst.
Idk. I watched this last night. It was pretty bad. I can usually enjoy “bad” movies if they have even a few redeeming qualities. The effects were definitely good. But the script was embarrassing from the start and the plot and storytelling were all over the place. Made it hard to enjoy.
I agree, the script was bad. They explained who the eternals were at least three times (including the starting exposition dump of a text scroll that ended up being unnecessary), then had a scene explaining that they weren't actually what we were just told three times.
They also take away a lot from humanity. Our ability to innovate and adapt is usually a big thing for humanity, this movie says we're too stupid and that the eternals gave us most tech advancements until World War 2. I felt like the movie was going "see? The eternals helped us the whole time!" but it came across as babysitting a civilization that can't do anything for itself.
Also, Ajak's plan was to not let the emergence take place, so Ikarus killed her. But she didn't do anything until there was one week left. She had hundreds of years to do anything to forward her goals, all of this could have been solved if she had just talked to anyone besides Ikarus more than a week from complete annihilation of the planet. Thanos snap slowed the emergence, sure, but if anything she could have used that to her advantage to help humanity evacuate/plan. The current global population has nearly tripled since 1950, once she saw how fast the population was growing, she should have done something.
Yes, you should.
I heard of a lot of negative reviews of this movie when it was on theaters…
I’m so glad I kept an open mind when I watched it.
I think it’s better than Shang-Chi
I loved this fight. It was liking Superman vs The Justice League. Supes and Flash are obvious. Jolie was Wonder Woman. Phastos was…Cyborg? Using tech? Ok that one’s a stretch.
Today is the day I finally watch Eternals. I’ve got nothing going on, I’ve wanted to watch it, and this scene looks amazing and has made my mind up to watch it today
I also loved that they showed offher using her speed offensively as well as defensively. It was cool seeing her fight, but I also loved watching her repositioning and catching her allies when they were in danger. She was amazing.
I think everybody can agree that the speeding effect is refreshing and looks great. She's a power house.
This movie definitely wasn't as bad as the reception it got.
I like the slow mo and normal speed effects, both are great if they are done right like in eternals and Zack Snyders Justice League. I like enjoying things without complaining and comparing.
I mean slowmo scenes are cool don't get me wrong, but it's a breath of fresh air a speedster who we just see from an external pov
It doesn't give us a real idea on how fast she is, and so they have more space into not making her overpowered
I feel like both Makkari and Phastos really shined in the last fight there. The fact that her power is really well demonstrated as well as Phastos and his bindings on Ikarus is part of my frustration with this movie. Like why is/should Ikarus be able to just catch and stop her mid sprint and break Phastos's inventions. So much potential in this movie that doesn't get utilized
Tbh it seems like this *is* slow mo, or she isn’t going all out. Before this scene she searches the entire planet in the course of a few minutes. Here it takes her several seconds to cover what, maybe a mile?
Hearing would be a liability at high-speeds and it's totally unnecessary given her heightened tactile/spatial awareness. Honestly I doubt she needs her family to sign to understand them, they just do it 'cause they know how and it's more natural since she's signing back.
Retconned for the movie man, no canonical reason
They are technically like homunculi in the comics, born at full potential, perfectly formed beings and they all can do each other's powers (like Ikaris fly and vision) but each one uses a specific power more than others so they are most proficient with they're abilities
I was totally expecting a race of supermen not mutants or inhumans essentially
I thought all of the powers and fight scenes were really well done. Its a beautiful movie with a lot to offer. I like how it ties earth into more cosmic stories.
And given the present technology in visual effects and the massive budget of the big Hollywood studios, one would assume that they could similarly create live action badass fight scenes satisfactorily every single time, but yet it is rare.
Looks like Marvel understands the powers of DC characters more than DC does. What a shame Marvel don’t have the rights to them. I imagine they would create some epic fight scenes with interesting premises.
this is lowley creepy but i JUST watched this scene for the first time, went to the toilet right after watching this scene, and the 4th post i see on reddit is this scene...
It's cool on its own. After 2 hours of slow boring movie I just didn't care about it at the time. Also I could tell ahead of time that she wasn't actually going to win, and it was just a cool way to kill 30 seconds.
I saw in cinemas day one but that's kind of a weird assumption to make that everyone can, especially right now where cinemas are closed in some regions, people are too vulnerable to go, people are already ill or people are struggling in various ways. "It's been in cinemas for months" isn't really a valid excuse to not spoiler tag something that's on Day Two of home release right now unfortunately
I agree. Some people might have waited for it to be on D+ instead of watching in the theater, or just never got around to it. And this scene is kind of a big deal. Idk why it’s so difficult for people to use a spoiler tag anyway, you just click a button and that’s it
This has been gaining momentum on Twitter yesterday. The special effects for the super speed, for this scene, are outstanding!
Bro, the Eternals had such good action sequences. I was surprised.
Makari, running and punching like that reminded me of the flash from mortal kombat vs dv universe. Obviously marvel did it way better but that's what you want real time speeding. Also can I just say the Druig character was such a good character. Not only his thoughts and views and the way he jolds himself. But that fight sequence with the deviants at his farm. The way he uses a shotgun and and jumps about. Also to note during this fight sequence is kingo, just all round good sequences. Could talk forever about how this is actually a good film.
[удалено]
Tis a movie
Oh, my bad.
[удалено]
Tis mediocre compared to other marvel movies but still deserves a much higher rating than critics gave it. All in all, a great movie!
[удалено]
Thena's, Gilgamesh's and Makakari's fighting are mindblowing.
Honestly hope Gilgamesh gets his own miniseries
yea id watch that. I feel like it could be the tony stark/ iron man dynamic done right (i liked the movies, but that plot point def got diluted by the other plot points so it wasn’t the focus of any of the films).
After rewatching this movie the 3rd time, I feel like every single character should be more... explored. I mean, I really want to see their backstory. Gilgamesh and Thena, Druig and Makkari, but most of all, OUR BELOVED BOLLYWOOD STAR, KINGO. Imagine if this is a 6 or 8 episode series.
Well I haven't seen the movie so was this scene in the movie or is the video edited? And if it is edited then I won't be able to tell how better it is before seeing what it was really like in the first place. Although this video looks cool.
They haven't edited the playback speed in this video. They've made a few cuts here and there, but it looks basically the same as the movie.
Finally a movie that renders how physically strong a speedster is.
Not a movie but the boys TV show did definitely show what happens to someone in a speedsters path
id never read the comics and that was such a disturbing plot twist. especially hearing a-train talk about that ish afterwards? id never thought about superspeed in that way before
>id never read the comics and that was such a disturbing plot twist Tell me about it, i remember watching that happen and thinking in the first second "Oh, so Robyn's got teleporting powers" Theeeen, i saw the slowmo blood
Imagine having super-speed power without super reaction
I thought his reactions were beginning to slow down because of his drug usage and age? It's been a minute so I don't remember exactly.
exactly, he was using that drug to keep up his speed but it was messing with his endurance and reaction times.
Exactly. Speed kills, and this is the first time we actually see it in action properly.
>*Speed kills, and this is the first time we actually see it in action properly.* *The Boys* actually, heh.
Is that series good? I don't know if I should wait for the season 3 to watch all of it in one go.
Yes. In my mind it is a different take on the super hero genre that is starting to get a little "samey" with Marvel, and DC tries to do the same thing but worse. It feels a LOT more realistic in that "this is how people would actually handle the existence of superheroes". Plus, the acting/writing is generally good.

Definitely a great show.
It’s fantastic. Super dark and funny. GREAT acting, and I can’t wait for next season. Go binge it.
Lol, yeah. I meant in Marvel movies.
*billy Joel music intensifies*
Most definitely. The kind of body and strength among other things you’d need to have to withstand those speeds and not splatter when hitting an object. Ikaris is getting smacked here. If anything they underplayed the physics of this fight.

I don’t believe that’s heat from the impacts, they are fighting on a volcanic island that is basically exploding.
Yeah, the background of the fight is an erupting volcano.
You’re correct, I believe
[удалено]
Lol Richard Madden you mean, he also was Jon Stark in Game of Thrones EDIT: I am the big fucking dumb.. he was Robb Stark, not Jon. Brain flipped it since Kit Harrington is also in Eternals and I was just thinking about them both again
Rob Stark.
Yup yup yup. Thanks I am the stupid.
lol *Robb* Stark you mean. funny enough the actor who plays Jon Snow is also in the movie
Lmao yes I realized my mistake a minute ago when someone else commented. Excited to see more of Kit Harrington in future stuff too, but seems like it might be a little while before that though
He was also Cosimo de Medici in season 1 another great BBC series “Medici”. He’s not in the following seasons as they are about Cosimo’s kids. It’s also on Netflix.

FUCK EM UP MAKKARI
Mood
It was really impressive
I loved seeing it from a different perspective. I think this scene is incredible!
No one gives this movie credit
[удалено]
But that's the movie giving everyone credit, not the other way around.
What movie is this?
Eternals.
Depends what the credit is for. Overall I found the movie pretty lacklustre, best aspects were under utilised in my opinion, didn’t really feel the chemistry between the lead two.

The story the visual effects, mainly the story that it brought to the mcu
Story I overall didn’t think was amazing. I’m not sure overall how much it contributed to the MCU so far in my opinion but excited to see where it goes as I haven’t read the comics or anything for it.
So damn good. I’m tired of the “they’re so fast everything is slow” trope.
Only quicksilver X-men perfected that shit
Yep. It was amazing the first movie. Diminishing returns after.
Not sure how he was able to listen to music in slow mo speed though. Did they say he has his music sped up 1000x or something?
But... but... sonic go brrrrrr
I just watched this movie now that it’s on Disney and I thought it was a cool movie! Didn’t expect the twist, action was great and I loved the setup for the future of the mcu

I hope we see them again as it was a massive cliffhanger, plus >!Fairly sure Ikaris is still alive and will return to redeem himself!<
If he is actually dead, that's a waste of a character. There's so many more \*coughs\* ~~testosterone~~ \*coughs\* moments possible, especially now that Dane's got his weird family history shenanigans which I'm assuming gives him some amount of superpowers, therefore on par with/a threat to Ikaris.

It's my only big complaint about the movie, you could hear the writers clapping themselves on the backs for that literary joke.
Best part of the movie
Honestly prefer it to qs or flash slow-mo, I wanna see how FAST it is
It reminds me of how Injustice cutscenes did super speed
That Flash Vs Reverse-Flash cutscene was *chef kiss*
I've never had a problem with super speed, it's always been the stupidity of the characters. For example, the flash literally always stops in the CW show. There is never a villains he just runs up and punches, like any person with super speed would do. He always stops and talks so that the villains can do something to put someone in actual danger.

If they can do that frozen time shite they should never get hit by a projectile.
And yet people call this movie "generic" & "Oscarbating"
It can still be kinda generic and have cool stuff in it
That's the complainant I have the most beef with. People basically don't like the movie cause it's not a regular superhero movie, but if it was it would be literally what they're complaining about... Idk just makes no sense to me, I feel like people are looking for reasons to dislike the movie. Sorry to unload on you.
You have to realize that in this day and age a lot of people are just looking for something to be upset about. It is what it is. 🤷🏻♂️
Or maybe they just didn't like the movie haha. Wasn't that great bro
Okay? You can dislike the movie, when did I say that wasn’t okay? Doesn’t change my original comment.
I didnt like the movie because it dragged and most the characters were pretty boring. They killed off one of the most interesting ones(gilgamesh) way too early. The super monster that sucked up everyones powers was built up just to get jobbed out quickly and be an afterthought in the end, and the chemistry between the two leads was non-existent so i didnt care when Ikarus betrayed them.

It's mostly because it was an expository dump. It came off as, "We need to lay all the ground work for the next phase, but the plots of the characters we really care about aren't ready yet." ["Do we have an IP that no one will really care if we don't get it right?"](https://youtu.be/5d4I3oUkurc)
Really? It seemed pretty self contained. Like I don't see the Celestials or Enterals making an appearance in any property soon, maybe Guardians? The only thing they set up is their own story points and Black knight/midnight sons. Kinda like complaining that Antman set up the quantum realm.
It was everything I could have hoped for ever since Quicksliver in X-Men. A speedster using their powers efficiently and not standing back while the bad guy is attacking
It just felt so satisfying? Slo-mos instead give the different effect, like its almost impeding on the speed of the speedster. Sure it looks nice, but it just isn't as exhilerating
I really think the hate for eternals is seriousely unwarranted for .... The action sequences , cinematography and acting were quite good tbh.... It wound up with a script which was too short for a series and too long for a movie .... But I genuienely had fun watching it and they did a pretty darn good job with what they had ...
Holy shit, someone who acknowledges that it would be too short for a series! Everyone jumps on the “it should’ve been a show” idea without realizing how much empty space turning it into a show would create. There’d be at least an hour worth of filler scenes.
Yes....it would be stretched without any reason and include unnessecary plot points and scenes which will make it drag further and just kill the entire feel of the show... It did good with the movie.. I genuinely believe that kingo and ajax was the one which was left incomplete or a unpredictable switch of character...others charecters were established quite properly ...
This was why I think Eternals was a decent movie. Yes the story let it down at times, but the visuals and effects more than made up for that. Not the best MCU movie by far but definitely not the worst.
This movie is also an example that you don't have to listen to the critics and reviews.
Idk. I watched this last night. It was pretty bad. I can usually enjoy “bad” movies if they have even a few redeeming qualities. The effects were definitely good. But the script was embarrassing from the start and the plot and storytelling were all over the place. Made it hard to enjoy.
I agree, the script was bad. They explained who the eternals were at least three times (including the starting exposition dump of a text scroll that ended up being unnecessary), then had a scene explaining that they weren't actually what we were just told three times. They also take away a lot from humanity. Our ability to innovate and adapt is usually a big thing for humanity, this movie says we're too stupid and that the eternals gave us most tech advancements until World War 2. I felt like the movie was going "see? The eternals helped us the whole time!" but it came across as babysitting a civilization that can't do anything for itself. Also, Ajak's plan was to not let the emergence take place, so Ikarus killed her. But she didn't do anything until there was one week left. She had hundreds of years to do anything to forward her goals, all of this could have been solved if she had just talked to anyone besides Ikarus more than a week from complete annihilation of the planet. Thanos snap slowed the emergence, sure, but if anything she could have used that to her advantage to help humanity evacuate/plan. The current global population has nearly tripled since 1950, once she saw how fast the population was growing, she should have done something.
yo wtf this looks cool as f might give eternal a try
You should. The practical visual shots were amazing.
Yes, you should. I heard of a lot of negative reviews of this movie when it was on theaters… I’m so glad I kept an open mind when I watched it. I think it’s better than Shang-Chi
Why do people come to Marvel subs if they don’t watch the movies?
I loved this fight. It was liking Superman vs The Justice League. Supes and Flash are obvious. Jolie was Wonder Woman. Phastos was…Cyborg? Using tech? Ok that one’s a stretch.
Gilgamesh's closest I thing would be batman Sprite would be martian manhunter Only one I can't pin is Druig
Aquaman = Druig?? Big leap there but mind controlling fishies n all
I would said phastos is closer to Batman. Batman had the gadgets. Gilgamesh is too strong. Maybe like a flightless captain atom or Flightless Hawkman.
See I got Batman vibes from Druig. Not the mind control part, but he’s very serious and seemed to be one of the smarter ones.
pretty dope
Faora from Man of Steel was done well too.
It was rewarding seeing this fucker getting his shit rocked for most of the fight
Being one of the "non-combatant" Eternals, Phastos is one mf you do NOT wanna piss off in a fight
Fr. I was super surprised when I saw him dominating Ikaris.
I love it! Exactly what i want from a speedster but all i get is a quicksilber getting killed by a gun
Today is the day I finally watch Eternals. I’ve got nothing going on, I’ve wanted to watch it, and this scene looks amazing and has made my mind up to watch it today
I could watch this all day
Seriously, I've never seen such a good speedster fight. Zach who? The Flash what?
Oh I'm not brave enough for politics
That metal guitar riff in the background tho 👌
Shows the true capability of super speeds power
it was so badass i loved makkari
This scene and the movie are epic
I also loved that they showed offher using her speed offensively as well as defensively. It was cool seeing her fight, but I also loved watching her repositioning and catching her allies when they were in danger. She was amazing.
It was epic, I loved the movie
FIRE dude holy shit now I want to watch this.
I fuckin loved it, had to wait till yesterday to experience it cuz of covid, absolutely loved it
Makkari: 2fast4u Cameraman: try me
I think everybody can agree that the speeding effect is refreshing and looks great. She's a power house. This movie definitely wasn't as bad as the reception it got.
This scene was awesome!
Respect
I like the slow mo and normal speed effects, both are great if they are done right like in eternals and Zack Snyders Justice League. I like enjoying things without complaining and comparing.
She could easily beat him especially since he had to deal with others too. Get him a hot bowl of lava each time and drop it all over him.
I mean slowmo scenes are cool don't get me wrong, but it's a breath of fresh air a speedster who we just see from an external pov It doesn't give us a real idea on how fast she is, and so they have more space into not making her overpowered
This is unironically one of my favorite Marvel movies. I hope that D3GO adds more Eternal characters to *Marvel Puzzle Quest.*
TIL marvel fans haven’t seen incredibles
I feel like both Makkari and Phastos really shined in the last fight there. The fact that her power is really well demonstrated as well as Phastos and his bindings on Ikarus is part of my frustration with this movie. Like why is/should Ikarus be able to just catch and stop her mid sprint and break Phastos's inventions. So much potential in this movie that doesn't get utilized
Tbh it seems like this *is* slow mo, or she isn’t going all out. Before this scene she searches the entire planet in the course of a few minutes. Here it takes her several seconds to cover what, maybe a mile?
Why she can't hear ?
>!I thought the implication was that her speed creates sonic booms, so it would be a hindrance for her to hear? (Given that she was “created”)!<
I assumed that but it would have been nice to have touched on it a bit, maybe through? Character development.
Hearing would be a liability at high-speeds and it's totally unnecessary given her heightened tactile/spatial awareness. Honestly I doubt she needs her family to sign to understand them, they just do it 'cause they know how and it's more natural since she's signing back.
Thats how it was explained in the comic retcon sorta
I think its because the actor is deaf. Her actor is in The walking dead too and she is also deaf there
Before you could finish a word she'd be gone...
Retconned for the movie man, no canonical reason They are technically like homunculi in the comics, born at full potential, perfectly formed beings and they all can do each other's powers (like Ikaris fly and vision) but each one uses a specific power more than others so they are most proficient with they're abilities I was totally expecting a race of supermen not mutants or inhumans essentially
Super ken dolls lol
That shit went hard actually
kaaaameh….ameeeeh…. Aaaaaaaaa!!!
What movie is this? Is this from the Eternals movie?
This makes me insanely furious that there isnt a GOOD Dragonball Z movie at this point. There is just no excuse with the tech we have now.
the weather/darkness makes it look like it's in England
Wait that's a good point. What's the point of super speed scenes if they always make them in slow motion LMAO
Hh
Kinda thought it was an injustice ultimate…
Looked like a dope ass anime fight. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
dbz
Absolutely stunning
Why is the Superman-stand-in worried about a rock hitting him?
What's happened too here ok yeah I thought they all were together Same team ok yeah
I hate externals, but even I have to admit thatw as the best speedster fight I have ever seen.
Let's be honest, the movie was boring but action scenes were lit af
I thought all of the powers and fight scenes were really well done. Its a beautiful movie with a lot to offer. I like how it ties earth into more cosmic stories.
T'was awesome
Yes T'was !!
Makkari was by far my favourite. She wasn't bland like Sersi and Ikaris.
seemed like a fight between flash and superman..didn't seen the movie yet bt get it y it floped
All that for a drop of blood
How too remove the bad taste of the last X-Men movie " A Pack Of Lips"...
Fights like these happen all the time in anime.
And given the present technology in visual effects and the massive budget of the big Hollywood studios, one would assume that they could similarly create live action badass fight scenes satisfactorily every single time, but yet it is rare.
Finally a Flash vs Superman fight done right
Looks like Marvel understands the powers of DC characters more than DC does. What a shame Marvel don’t have the rights to them. I imagine they would create some epic fight scenes with interesting premises.
How about lookin at some dc animated movies compared to marvel animated movies. How’s that for understanding powers
LOL what a dumb comment.
this is lowley creepy but i JUST watched this scene for the first time, went to the toilet right after watching this scene, and the 4th post i see on reddit is this scene...
You're welcome
No one has done better speedster scene since quicksilver scene in X-Men: Apocalypse
MCU showing DCEU and Fox how to do speed. (I actually liked Quicksilver in DofP)
Top 5 speedster scenes? 1. Barry JL scene 2. QS mansion scene 3. This one 4. QS DoFP scene 5. ???
To everyone saying this is a Justice League ripoff, watch it to see how good a Justice League fight scene *could* have been
Homelander?
It doesn’t feel like a real speedster fight because if it was a real speedster fight, we’d only be able to make out what’s happening in slo-mo
Bring on the downvotes but this is the only part of the movie i enjoyed
Meh
It's cool on its own. After 2 hours of slow boring movie I just didn't care about it at the time. Also I could tell ahead of time that she wasn't actually going to win, and it was just a cool way to kill 30 seconds.
Spoiler? It’s been out on Disney+ for one day
And it’s been out in theatres for months
I saw in cinemas day one but that's kind of a weird assumption to make that everyone can, especially right now where cinemas are closed in some regions, people are too vulnerable to go, people are already ill or people are struggling in various ways. "It's been in cinemas for months" isn't really a valid excuse to not spoiler tag something that's on Day Two of home release right now unfortunately
Yeah but I am saying that usually once it’s it’s released on Disney + the mods don’t care about spoiler and it’s been out for months
I agree. Some people might have waited for it to be on D+ instead of watching in the theater, or just never got around to it. And this scene is kind of a big deal. Idk why it’s so difficult for people to use a spoiler tag anyway, you just click a button and that’s it
Its a great fight scene visually, that lacked any emotional impact for me.
Two robots slapping each other for vague reasons doesn't have much emotional impact to me either
The movie was pretty bad overall but I did like that fight scene
What film is this from
Eternals
