The dark secret at the core of the Eternals, what drove Phastos to nearly (accidentally) destroy the entire planet Earth

Free resurrections aren’t free, someone else has to foot the bill

I watched eternals, here are my thoughts

SPOILERS

Overall... it was okay, nice movie, would give 4/10. I have more thoughts and opinion about characters, so I would go about each of them. Not proof read.

Sersi

Main character with no personality. That's all I can say about her.

Ikaris

Bucky bait. Looks and acts like Bucky. Has his own "I'll follow you to the end" line. He's just a Bucky bait. His betrayal was a bit suprising but not that much. And then his suicide was kind of from nowhere . I feel like he also doesn't have personality. I don't like him. He has no emotions. He's just blank.

Thena

Precious baby. I like her. Her plot was okay but I feel like she also was a bait. I really like her name. The idea about calling her similiar to greek goddess? Love this. Great. She did okay. It wasn't painful to watch.

Ajak

Cult leader. Either Eternals where a cult or she started another one at some point in her life. I think she's supposed to be this "smart leader who knows evertything and is mysterious" but the cult leader vibes are stronger than her lovely aunt vibes and that lowkey kills her character.

Kingo

He gives me Shane Dawson vibes. Didn't like him from start but this started to change between middle and end of movie but I still don't like him. Sorry. He has kind of good plot about wanting to be like Ikaris but that imo wasn't explored enough. Him and that dude followed him had some good jokes and had some good jokes. So they're okay i suppose.

Sprite

Bruh. I liked her. Loved her from the start. Reminded me about kid Loki. Then the stupid as fuck plot "I love Ikaris" came up and I was done. Plot about wanting to grow up - good, great even, plot about Ikaris - why? She's 14, dude, she could go without it, no difference, she still could betray if you wanted. imo betrayal was at least a bit stupid and made no sense except "I love Ikaris". Loved her at start, then hated her, then liked her bit more. For my mental health I will ignore her plot about Ikaris.

Phastos

Best boi. Loved him from the start. As soon as I saw him. His name - same as Thena - love name and idea behind. And then he had a husband and a kid. Loved him more. He's so sweet. My fav character in whole movie. He's cool dad. Could have more screen time with family but that's okay. Love nonetheless.

Makkari

Didn't get much screen time. She was okay. Liked her relationship with Druig. Imo her character wasn't explored enough. Could been better if that would happen. Still okay character. I love that they casted deaf actor for deaf character.

Druig

We already had Bucky bait. He's Loki bait. Edgy teenager. I'm 85% sure he's bait for fangirls. So many similarities with Loki and this black haired dude from Star Wars. I was annoyed when he talked but had cute relationship with Makkari. Has punchable face. Fucking tumblr bait.

Gilgamesh

I liked him. He was so sweet with Thena. Then poof he died. And then they forgot about him. Like I don't think they told Phastos or Makkari about it. About Ajak - they told everyone, even not on screen, her death was important, they cried. And after Gilgamesh's death they said idk two things about him. I liked him. Why didn't he get some screen time? Why?

Overall characters are either not explored enough, annoying baits or have some stupid plot. Three characters i loved from this movie - one had stupid plot, second died. Like bruh. Bit dissapointed. CGI was good, liked stone hand at end. Main plot about Titanica however was this big boi inside earth called was okay. Plot about memories - also okay. Like I said 4/10. Could been better. At least they didn't ruin my boi Phastos.

Edit:

I was right about Druig. Eternals tag is filled with fanfics, he has so much fics already I hate this edgy teenager fucking tumblr fangirl bait but please don't @ me.

So, I finally saw eternals…

Overall, I liked it. I was already a really big fan of most of those actors so it’s always nice to see them together. Gilgamesh my beloved I cannot believe how much I love him. Richard Madden is a hottie and so is Gemma Chan and all of them really.

Can you tell I’m stalling? Cause I am. I was little disappointed in the writing. Sersi felt really flat to me, and I know Gemma Chan can be so expressive (I cry every time I see her in Crazy Rich Asians she’s phenomenal) so it was odd to see her be such a flat character. It was especially evident in her scenes with Richard Madden; we’re supposed to believe that Sersi and Ikaris have been madly in love for thousands of years and it just didn’t read to me. Marvel has a really hard time making believable romantic relationships. I kinda feel like all the characters were written like the audience already knew the base/heart of that character when we didn’t for a lot of them. I also thought there were too many obvious “marvel quips” that detracted from the investment in the story. During what should be a very emotional moment, Sersi’s phone goes off and her ringtone is Lizzo’s “Juice”. It’s Lizzo. I really wish marvel would pump the brakes on the “haha current pop culture reference you have to laugh” jokes, they date these movies even on release because of the time between filming and release and how fast pop culture moves now a days. Plus this movie hypothetically takes place in the future right? Like 2023-2024? And her ringtone is still Juice? There were a lot of these but that was the one that really rubbed me wrong.

I didn’t hate this movie, I liked it, it was totally different in some important ways and marvel really needs to branch out some more with their movies. But some of the clunky writing just really took me out of it and made it hard for me to feel attached to any of these characters (except Gilgamesh, he’s always the exception). I also feel like it was way too big of a story to cover in the first movie in this new franchise. I think the twist would have been way more compelling if they had one movie covering all or just one of the moment they show in the flashbacks and then in a future movie it’s revealed that they had been lied to, shocking not only the characters but the audience as well.

I think most of my gripes with the movie are in response to the strict overhead from marvel and not letting the creative team create a story that takes its time to be well developed, sticking a good director on a movie where too much and not enough happened at the same time isn’t going to fix it. Ive talked about it before, but the early marvel movies are really weird and all feel incredibly unique from each other, something marvel lost somewhere along the way. The first avenger and iron man 2 are completely different movies, but for some reason (the overproduced formula marvel/Disney forces these movies to follow) shang-chi and eternals don’t actually feel that different. Marvel has a lot to figure out right now and I feel like if they don’t sort it out before they keep pumping movies out interest is going to dwindle.

[ FOOD ]: after ensuring the receiver is safe and stable, sender brings them out a plate of food.

@gilghmesh | in an hour of need prompts

she sits cross legged on the couch. wounds patched. skin warmed. fears  q u e l l e d . and though she shakes just a little, the trauma of her day not yet all seeped out from her mind, she feels better. she feels SAFE. gilgamesh has truly made sure of that and sprite can’t thank him enough for the comfort he provides.

                       “ thank you. ”

it’s murmured. her eyes not quite focusing as her head lifts and her hand reaches out to take the food that’s offered. her lips quirk into that smile that everyone expects from the girl, mischievous and fun. it’s second nature; to smile that smile even when she has NO motive. 

[chasingstardustandmoonbeams]

Because this movie has an iron clad grip on me, I’m going to open up requests! Things have finally started to settle down a bit at my job, and I should have the time and energy to finally write again.

Things to know:

I will not take any requests for Sprite.

No smut requests

I encourage requests for Kingo (let’s be real, there needs to be more fics for him)!

I’m more comfortable writing for the guys, but I’m open to writing for the women.

You can make your own requests or use prompt lists from here, here, or here.

Send as many requests as you’d like! I’ll do my best to get through as many as I can.

𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓.    ➤    @gilghmesh​    sent:   [ HOLD ]:  having been bandaged and cared for by the receiver, sender unexpectedly reaches out to take their hand and hold it in a quiet, sincere gesture of gratitude.

the  effort  she's  pulling  to  try  not  to  SHAKE  as  she  tends  to  his  injuries  is  far  greater  than  she  realizes,  and  she  probably  looks  just  as  terrified  as  she  truly  is  (  so  much  for  not  worrying  him  ).    her  eyes  were  focused  the  entire  time  and  she  promptly  ignored  everything  else  around  her  as  she  makes  sure  every  single  injury  is  cared  for.    but  it's  then  that  he  takes  hold  of  her  hand  and  the  blonde  feels  as  if  the  air  had  been  sucked  out  of  her.    it's  a  strong  hold,  obviously  not  enough  to  hurt  her,  but  strong  enough  to  remind  thena  that  he's  THERE,  safe  and  sound.    the  touch  of  their  hands  always  spoke  much  more  than  words  and  calmed  her  down  like  nothing  else.    this  time  however,  it's  enough  to  make  her  legs  feel  wobbly  and  she  flops  down  on  the  seat  in  front  of  his,  placing  her  other  hand  atop  of  his,  before  she  lays  her  head  there.    her  eyes  fall  shut  as  the  tears  fall  freely  from  her  eyes.    this  is  all  your  fault,  she  keeps  thinking  to  herself.   

❝  i'm so sorry.  ❞
