oh fuck oh now they changed my childhood hero makkari

makkari meant so much to me because of his gender and race playing such a huge part in his stories and therefore my stories

such as that one story about uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>HEYYYY WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE RACE AND GENDER OF IMMORTAL RESURRECTING ALIEN RACE FROM COMICS
There, let's just get this out of the way.

sounds like a big steamy shit

Marvel Studios does diversity right. By changing the race and gender of characters no one gives a shit about then they can keep around white characters like the Fantastic four and Wolverine.

there are rumors she is shooting this partially on 16 mm filmstock
eternals was based on chariots of the gods, the first ancient aliens theory book, a 16mm documentary using the same film stock was made about the theories in the book
so eternals will be a documentary set within the mcu about the eternals and celestials

This really does say it all

we'll see.
i think you are way wrong.
the 3rd in command of marvel doesnt like the term X-Men and feige brought up mutants at comic con not X-men

BASED

>casting is reportedly underway for the MCU's first transgendered male-to-female character.
Thats for Thor 4, not Eternals

I guess it is a little annoying how they changed the races/genders for no reason and probably won't give them crazy Jack Kirby looking costumes but I just don't give a straight fuck about this team or this movie.

That actually sounds interesting, but I doubt Marvel will deviate from their successful formula.

>The movie will feature LGBTQ+ characters and casting is reportedly underway for the MCU's first transgendered male-to-female character.

Hells yeahs, can't wait for the bashing threads.

yeah, dc still has some integrity left

Considering this is the MCU it ends up not mattering at all since they would have changed the characters personalities so much that their only resemblance to the originals would be the name anyways.

>yeah, dc still has some integrity left
>marvel lite
lol

I don't like classic Jack Kirby characters either, fellow casual. Let's shit on anyone who does.

Good one

HA

They aren't changing the race of a single Fantastic Four. Wanna bet?

The Eternals threads are already fun because it is incredibly obvious that the ragers have no fucking clue who the characters are this time around.
Ha!
DC went from edgy nonsense to an MCU knockoff.
Fuck comic book movies.

It's weird. I'd never in my life heard anyone complain about the team being called X-Men. Literally the only person I've heard call it problematic was that bitch at Marvel Studios. And now we've got more gender neutral titles like House of X and Powers of X coming out.

Based and redpilled.
Who is you favorite Eternal?
Mine is Phastos because he has a hammer. I am really mad about how he is a black man now.

I would say do it to the Thing, since he's always rocky after transforming so no one gives a shit as long as his personality stays the same, and he's also not a blood relative like the Storms. He is already a Jew though.

The Thing and Reed are the only acceptable options unless they want to black both of the siblings this time around.

Well, at least they didn’t fuck with Ikaris’ casting. That’s... something.

He's jew so there's no way {{they'll}} black him.
Maybe if he was a redhead and speaking of that MCU Daredevil will probably be black.

>console wars fagboy
Yikes

LGBTQ+ characters like how Endgame did? Lol.
>MCU's first transgenseres male to female character
Lol bet it's just a dude who turns into a girl and not an actual guy playing a girl. Marvel won't do this shit if they want the Chinese audience.

>Gilgamesh
>a mighty warrior
>is fat

great casting right there

GIRUGAMESH

Not to mention this was a good chance to cast a middle eastern looking fella due to the myth and shit but for some reason they went with a chink.

>Black male is pitch black
>Black female is so light that she almost looks hispanic
Every fucking time.

>Reed
I hope not, I don't want interracial.

Jews don't seem to care about seeing a lot of representation of themselves on the screen. They'd rather work in the shadows and let people forget about them.

On the other hand it would make Namor, etc., cucking him more palatable.

I hope we get something surprisingly good. Using characters literally gives a shit about gives a lot of room to push boundaries and possibly do more than your standard marvel fare.

I expect we get standard Marvel fare, but because it stars characters literally nobody gives a shit about it bombs

Gilgamesh is the wrong kind of Asian. Are there no Arab actors in Hollywood that could have played him?

I gotta wonder how they are going to work into the dialogue Kingo reminding people he is Pakistani, not Indian.

Angelina has been a spooky skeleton lady for like a decade now and is not really a draw to me, but I'm sure Bendis is goddamn orgasmic given that Maria Hill and Daisy Johnson were both clear attempts to cast her into a Marvel Movie.

I don’t really know anything about these guys

Bendis is too busy taking over DC to try and finally get a shot at movies to care about that.

There's no confirmation either way.

Did they just race swap an Asian Character for a Black character and Vice Versa?

>Reed are the only acceptable options
> Reed
They still need a striaght white guy to be the new Tony Stark. They can't afford to racebend him. He will definitely be white.

She doesn't at all look Hispanic

Why is it only pandering when characters aren't straight white men?

yes they do, just not as characters

I hope they don’t make Richard Madden put on a fake accent.

Makkari was supposed to be a bro in Kirby's run. He and Sersi had memorable personalities. Turning him deaf is wrong.

>so eternals will be a documentary set within the mcu about the eternals and celestials

would explain why Elysius was described in that leaked casting sheet as a "wise historian". They maybe using "Karen" aka the human to start like the original Kirby run and tell the story.

>and feige brought up mutants at comic con not X-men

he literally said to IGN that the names were interchangeable

oh man i am all about the jack kirby characters, loving one means you have to love all of them equally, i especially love how makkari did the and the time he uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>and probably won't give them crazy Jack Kirby looking costumes

they probably will

>Mine is Phastos because he has a hammer. I am really mad about how he is a black man now.

Phastos was always black

>Now

not if they make Namor Asian

He doesn't look fat to me user

Attached: 160728074731.116-650.jpg (650x950, 254K)

no. Phastos was always black. They turned Gilgamesh into an Asian and turned Kingo (Japanese) into Kumail Nanjiani.

Did they kill the Eternal in the comics so they can bring them back to life looking like their MCU actors?

Absolute unit.

Her father is Mexican

Hispanic is not a race. There are white hispanics, black hispanics, asian hispanics etc.

>The U.S. Census Bureau defines the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race" and states that Hispanics or Latinos can be of any race, any ancestry, any ethnicity.

What are “asian hispanics”, Filipinos?

A Filipino born in Puerto Rico is Hispanic.

>ALIEN RACE
Confirmed for not reading the comics

Thanos, Odin, Living Tribunal

>Get the Middle-Eastern guy for Samurai
>Get the Asian guy for the Middle-East Legend
Why?

The Eternals is shaping up to be everything I was worried about with the New God's. I have no hype for this

So they just choose to forget Wonder Woman, Aquaman being Brown and that Suicide Squad had a multi cultural cast ?

"edgy nonsense"
you mean accurate to source material you soi cacksual

You guys are really going to pay money for this?

>asian namor cucking black reed
the salt would be hilarious.

I like the guy who’s gonna play Gilgamesh in Train to Busan so yeah

No one is attracted to (most) dark black women, look at any rap video, the dancers are all light creamy mocha mixed girls.

>rap videos are the baseline for beauty
I'm sure a billion Asians are all fucking women who've been plastic surgery'd into Greys, too.

Everyone knows that if it's not Based Marvel it doesn't matter

first of all the name are confusing as fuck, second 8 new characters we're suppose to love who do what again in comics?, and 3rd why?

Attached: yazam.jpg (600x599, 67K)

I haven’t watched a hip hop video in well over a decade so maybe things have changed since, but in the 90s/early 00s most rap music videos had brown or dark skinned black girls.

>hopes
It will be good.

>expectations
It won't be good.

House and Powers have the X stand for Ten and Xavier though dumbass. They’re still called the X-Men. It’s not different to X-Force or X-Statix not having men in it. And they’re decades old.

Why the Eternals are uglies like the Deviants?

Impressive how you almost managed to make the dumbest fucking post ever made on this site

All you needed was a "sneed" and it would've been perfect

To cut DC's new gods movie off at the knees. Even if it's bad they're hoping theatergoers will go "oh DC's just copying that bad movie."

Nice try but Marvel isn't reactionary like DC is

>The main villain is rumored to be Druig, a rogue Eternal who joins forces with the Deviants. Keanu Reeves is reportedly eyed for the role.
the movie looks bad, I'm only interested in the big cosmic shit that surround all that I couldn't care less about these

I really don't understand Marvel/Feige's decision to take an indie/art-house director whose most recent film was a docudrama hybrid about a rodeo rider recovering from severe head trauma and have them direct an adaptation of a comic book.

My only guess is that they wanted the brownie points of hiring a Chinese-American female director.

That and indie directors are easier to control

Most MCU directors come from low budget indie backgrounds. The worst thing you could do though is get an indie director to do one of these and let them go hog wild on it which is what a certain other studio did and why there hasn't been a trailer for a certain movie that's out in a few months

I still wish the MCU and/or DCEU were director-driven rather than franchise- and lore-driven. GOTG and Aquaman's strengths were in that they let the directors go hog.

Well lucky you

At least Ikaris still white. Where is Sersi? I only care about Ikaris, Makkari and Sersi.

February 2020 isn't strictly "a few months" away, you know.

I'd assume that the marketing push will start up before New Year's. Maybe sooner, like around Thanksgiving.

Madden is sexy.

Mike and Jay pointed out in their Once Upon a Time in Hollywood review that the setpieces in MCU films are done before directors are even hired so they wondered what's the point of hiring them.

That's not exclusive to Marvel Studios. Most blockbuster map out their action setpieces in advance due to tight shooting schedules.
