Don McKellar is a writer and executive producer on this? That is such a jump from his seemingly scattered Canadian movie and TV career.

I’m interested to watch this. Feels a little like a couple of other shows that try this hard to be stylish period piece shows but I’m a sucker for that and I think being Vietnamese makes me always curious about seeing Vietnamese things in media. Though when I was younger I actively avoided war things.

I can see a beach being underwhelming. Incorporating the Celestial actively moving probably would’ve been fun but also a lot of CG floatyness. Even the beach has a little of that with the CG doubles.

That’s true. I think I liked that most blockbuster movie discussion falls into a middle ground rather than polarization but I also get that its’ just the fact of differing tastes. Admittedly that’s me trying to find a comfortable niche than having to deal with actual film opinions maybe

True. Or maybe throw in Sprite’s illusion powers to have some cool environments.

Yeah I can see how you would want to see a focus on the rest of the Celestials and everything and the last bit is on Earth. Which I do like but I get feeling underwhelmed about it.

I don’t have the habit of rewatching movies despite loving the MCU but I have rewatched Eternals. I’ll admit it’s part curiosity into seeing what I think works but I think it does benefit from...washing over you? Terrible way to phrase it but only thing I could think of.

I do think it’s better than most “big cg third act” but I also get that its a lot and uneven. And you have to accept that the Celestial is somehow keeping the world together while destroying a lot. Which for me is fine. At least there’s sci fi magic, I feel like Ultron making a city fly would be even worse

I’m not primarily a comics fan but I think the few people that like the Eternals probably hated it even more because it wasn’t Jack Kirby colorful and wild.

The one thing I’d say against this is I actually really like the grander moments that feel like they could only be done given the blockbuster budget. Because I like the MCU Disney+ shows (Secret Invasion was the most disappointing MCU thing for me personally) but they restricted by budget and format sometimes.

That’s true. Sometimes you just like something or hate something and there’s not much you can add. Same for the people who hate Eternals.

The way it’s hard to discuss online does remind me of trying to talk about the Last Jedi, another movie I liked but discussion goes into so many deeply entrenched ideas, that it’s really exhausting.

>It briefly worked for Chyna and that one lady that was on Boy Meets World!

Also I think the biggest thing is I actually like Sersi as a character? Like 90% of people who hate it, and like 50% who like it, disagree with me.

Finally a cult I can say I’m a part of! :D

Oh so bad.

I need to know how the Scion TC is doing

I genuinely enjoy seeing Liza Lapira pop up in things so really I don’t have much to add other than, heck yeah Liza Lapira.

I like in the intro that Retsuko only ends up on the island because she wanted a vacation from work. And gets stressed out that she’s taking time off from work. And that she doesn’t know anyone else on the plane but sees they know each other.

I thought she sounded a lot like Emma Stone in Elemental.
