At this point Marvel was having distribution problems I think, hence no Marvel during that week (after starting the post for the week after this I saw that I got all the issues by then, so I added them after posting this post initially).
Superman and the team made it to Warworld (things went very badly), Harley and Ivy were doing their best, the Outsiders had some future help in one of the Batman Urban Legends stories, and we got the second issue of Superman and Lobo. And for the Marvel ones: The Thing got a story set in the past, Betsy and Arthur were at arms, Morbius guested in ASM, Venom got a new run with Dylan being the lead, and Thanos had been voted the Prime Eternal.
Got a couple posters.
Eternals (2021)
November 4, 2021 – I just got out of Eternals! XD. I went into this knowing that the history of the Eternals wasn’t as similar as it could have been, compared to the comics, so I was a bit worried about that. Reducing their history from 1 million years (in the comics) down to 7000 was jarring. But I was still very excited for this.
Okay, so, this was fantastic! XD not as much Celestial stuff as I wanted, but I feel like that kind of movie could be in the future. This was dense as many of the people who complained about it have said. But I enjoyed that aspect. There are a lot of characters and we have to know them well enough to care about their stories. I think it did a good job of that. I still think it would have been better to have two movies, one set solely in the past and this movie’s story could have been set in present day. But eh.
Of course the problem with having so many characters is that one wants more time with each other them. There are certainly some characters who I wish they’d focused more on. But, I’m sure we’ll get to them in the future.
They did change aspects of what Eternals are and how they came to be. Power sets were changed too. Instead of each having an assortment of abilities, each Eternals has one main ability and of course all a prolonged lifespan.
Each Eternal had their own passions and personalities that we saw throughout the movie. Some changed and some didn’t too much in their long history.
I have to say, there were twists and turns I didn’t see coming. I think they worked well. Again, time will tell about certain aspects of those events.
There were a few references to the others in the MCU, though I will say, most of them are shown to us in the trailers. So don’t expect too many more.
I enjoyed the story and what they crafted it to be and even though it was different than what I had expected, it wasn’t jarring.
I certainly expect a sequel at least, though wouldn’t mind if it were to cross over with another MCU property.
Mid-credit scene: Yes! XD this was a bit spoiled for me, but so much happened in the movie that I basically forgot to expect it XD. It hints at a sequel or some such continuation.
End-credit scene: Yes!! This one was intriguing. I wasn’t sure what to expect for this one. I am excited about what it suggests though. Though I need to talk to a friend who’s also seen it to help me figure out some things XD. (Blade, it was Blade.)
I’m very ready for the MCU to be more cosmic since the cosmic beings are my favorite aspect of marvel conics. So, bring it on Marvel Studios!!
