Finally. A focus.
Eh, for how long though. GotG seems fairly standalone as that's wrapping up a trilogy that several actors have stated will be their last appearance and i'm more excited for Secret Invasion than I am for The Marvels (although do we know who the villain is in that movie?). I actually don't mind the standalone path Phase 4 took, just saying for those hoping for a focus all the way around in Phase 5... I wouldn't hold my breath.Finally. A focus.
Upon rewatches, Eternals has really grown on me and not everything has to reference something as long as you are building something, which I feel that film did. We've gotten so spoiled that we expect there to be a constant connecting narrative all the time while at the same time many fans of the MCU thought Avatar 2 was gonna bomb.I just needed a point to all of it. I want something to justify watching all of these products that isn’t purely referencing previous films (or worse… referencing almost nothing… Eternals).
I like Eternals....as a TV show. It just makes more sense that way with how they story is told but its kinda weird we might not see any mention of a giant head in the ocean until......Captain America.Upon rewatches, Eternals has really grown on me and not everything has to reference something as long as you are building something, which I feel that film did.

My point there being, I think Feige realized how deep into the MCU they were and how high the barrier of entry would be the deeper they got with them not just having movies but TV shows that he decided to use Phase 4 as a reset to allow new fans a chance to come in without feeling like they have to watch 30 movies. Avatar 2 succeeded despite going 13 years between films in part because you could go in cold without having seen the first movie and you were fine. It also transcends language barriers in many ways , but not having to watch x amount of movies +this series and that series on Disney+ in order to know what's going on certainly helps.
It's no wonder the only billion dollar film of Phase 4 was NWH. You could watch that movie not having seen either of the Tom Holland movies or any other MCU movie and just strictly been a casual movie goer that saw the Tobey Maguire version of Spider-Man 20 years prior (or being someone who liked Garfield's Spider-Man) and you weren't missing anything. That was a movie that anyone could jump into and enjoy if they had seen even one spider-man movie in their life or even if they hadn't. It was sort of a movie about brotherhood and the loss that the three of them have had to endure because of being who they are. It was also just a flat out fun movie.
Is it the fault of Eternals as a movie that there’s been no mention of that or is that more on Feige? That’s the one and only thing I’ve been bothered with them not talking about/connecting.I like Eternals....as a TV show.

I know we get surprises of old characters and plots returning sometimes and i do love that but.....like this a huge event that I dont think anyone one will talk about in the MCU at all this year and to me that feels like poor world building.
But I think people like this trailer because its more serious, looks more interesting then past antman films (love the first one but it follows the generic hero origin story, so get why not everyone does), will easily have the best villain of any of the antman films and Scott looks like a hero vs.....what we have been getting in the MCU which feels like more like they are just doing things just because vs being heroic.
Like Wanda, Kate Bishop, Thor, Miss Marvel, and even moonknight all feel like the characters have a selfish motive for doing the right thing in the end, while Captain America always felt like he was standing for the right side whenever he choose to act
Yeah thats more on the MCU. and Kevin.Is it the fault of Eternals as a movie that there’s been no mention of that or is that more on Feige? That’s the one and only thing I’ve been bothered with them not talking about/connecting.
It's why some movies are blocked in China. Top Gun: Maverick got blocked there because Tom Cruise had an American Flag on his jacket.Sadly it’s because Jen Gil doesn’t have any lgbtq+ scenes
that’s literally why movies are blocked in China and it’s disgusting to me
There’s no hype for it at all.Early screening reviews being so mixed really isn't good for this film.
