MCU phase 4 rumor and discussion thread

[BenGrimm]

As much as I love the MCU, Eternals will end up being their biggest bust, imo. Characters that I have heard of since the 70s and can't tell u jack sh!t about. I guess u can say the same about the Guardians and they had 2 great movies. But, I knew who their were and always thought their were cool. Then the MCU locked down Chris Pratt, made him the star of the GoG, added humor and absolutely nailed it. No, when I was first introduced to the Guardians, in Marvel Two in One, starring the Thing and a guest star every month, there wasn't any humor, but they were bad-a$$ and interesting. The Eternals have never been cool, bad-a$$ or had any chance at any humor with their boring characters. Seems like a recipe for a disaster, imo. We will see, but even with the great cast this movie has, I still have no interest in seeing this movie because I've never gave a sh!t about the Eternals or any comic that they have ever been in. If the MCU can make me care about these characters and this movie, I will never doubt Feige or MCU ever again. I hope they prove me wrong, but I doubt it. They are not even human or real super heroes, more like gods (well, I think, like I said, I have never bought one of their comics and rarely even read one where even one Eternal guest starred in), so that makes them almost unrelatable. Need to stick to what works, Black Window looks damn good to me, characters like Natasha are what I wanna see. I feel like the Eternals are a poor man's New Gods or even Inhumans (we saw how that ended up), just my opinion, I could be wrong

Im not overly familiar with Eternals either but they do have a Neil Gaimen story to pull from on top of the Kirby elements it originates from.

To compare it to GotG, the version that appears in the movie isnt even the original version of the group (doubtful the group in a Marvel Two-In-One). The MCU version was only launched in the comics 5-6 years before the first movie.

Yeah, that Guardians team only had Yondu, in it from the movie. I think they were led by a dude named Vance Astro and they were from the future. Ben Grimm was walking in a fog in NYC (Yancy St.?) crying about Alicia Masters and then one of the Guardians show up, (Starhawk, maybe ?) and the adventure begins, early 80s style. I can't believe I remember that comic so vividly, those Guardians were new to me and fascinated me. Nothing I have ever read or seen has fascinated me about the Eternals. Although, I do love Gaiman's Sandman and have read most of his novels, Neverwhere, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Stardust and Good Omens (Gaiman co-wrote it with Terry somebody and imo, underrated, good show on Amazon, too). If anybody can make me like the Eternals, it would be Gaiman, so I guess I should check it out. Thx

Most people had never heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy, including me. And when the one guy I know that knew of them explained they had a talking raccoon I rolled my eyes. And that turned out awesome. And Chris Pratt was hardly the star he was before he took the role. Most knew him as the fat comic relief on Parks and Rec.
