The Super Thread - All Things Marvel/DC/Etc

I saw reviews saying the first half of Eternals was better and then it got predictable and bad but I had the opposite experience. I had no idea who any of these people were or why I should care until they actually started interacting and tackling challenges together.

Overall, I give it a C+. It felt very DC to me but, by the end, I liked the ensemble. I’m looking forward to a sequel. I’m also begging comic book movie makers to please never make me watch an all CGI bad guy that looks like a buff turtle without a shell ever again. #steppenwolf #whoeverthatdeviantwas
 
We watched Eternals last night. It was okay. Definitely on the lower tier. All the criticisms I've seen are valid. Too many characters. Too much going on and a bit of a retread of other movies. Visually, it was great. The Celestials were cool to see on screen and it will be interesting to see how they work them into the MCU. It definitely sets up Galactus. If it's any indication of how the movie was, both kids fell asleep during it and that hardly ever happens.

I thought Eternals was awesome (caught it last night). Just the fact that it was....different was a breath of fresh air. I found myself really liking some of these characters. Makari's awesome, Phastos is awesome, Gilgamesh and Kingo cool
I was expecting Druig to turn on them the whole movie, and was pleasantly surprised that he got some character development and is one of the survivors. When Icaris flew into space I was expecting him to just exile himself, and appear in the next Captain Marvel or Guardians movie. When he flew into the sun I thought damn, he really did sign a 1 movie contract.
Biggest downside is probably how generic the deviants are. That "grey cgi super-villains" trope is becoming more apparent every year.

Overall and im very excited by the ending and how splintered the team is. Who knows what the plans are for them in the future, is there even gonna be an Eternals 2?

I'm far more pumped for this than I ever would have expected to be about a Dr. Strange movie had you asked me at pretty much any point in my life up until the last year or two...

I wasn't sure how they keep the hype up after Infinity War / Endgame, but they just keep ramping it up. This is going to be good. Seems that Disney + is sure going to be essential viewing for this, especially the What If series.
 
So I hear Patrick Stewart's voice and it looks like Strange is brought before a TVA type tribunal. Illuminati perhaps? Also, Wanda is fighting what looks to be the Human Torch but I think that's a red herring and it's actual Nova or some Captain Marvel variant. This one feels like it's going to packing a lot in it.
 
Anybody watching Peacemaker? Was a little put off by the intensity of the first episode and the lack of likable characters, but it's turned out to be a really enjoyable ride. Vigilante has so many great moments. I do love Guardians, but it's nice to see James Gunn not restricted by a PG-13 rating.
