What a Joke

The Eternals are here! Oh that's rank! Really, they suddenly show up and Sersi gives a bullshit reason as to why they didn't stop Thanos. "We are only allowed to get involved when Deviants are messing up stuff." That didn't stop Druig from doing whatever he wanted. That didn't stop Phastos from making technology for humans. The Eternals didn't even just get involved in stopping The Deviants. They literally helped them farm and made them contraptions. Oh, looks like you are getting involved in human affairs even though it doesn't help you ward off Deviants. Like, how does farming help stop Deviants? A big wall around the city makes sense, but farming sure as heck looks they are just helping humans by doijg more than just getting involved when Deviants are involved. Somehow Sersi finds it …

Going into Eternals, the only thing most people were talking about was how this was the first "Rotten" MCU film and how audiences were likewise a bit letdown. And while the film isn't at the top of my favorite MCU film, it is also far from the worst. With a knock-out cast and a look into the history of mankind, this is a sprawling epic that, yes, is a bit heavy on the talking and explanation of things - but is also full of plenty of action, humor and emotional baggage. Director Chloé Zhao also gives this a more personal touch as the film goes a bit deeper than a typical hero film does.
Eternals, as the titles suggests, follows a group of nigh-immortal cosmic beings. They are sent far and wide to planets across the galaxy to cultivate life while also defending that life …
