Dr. Jackson is the love, Colonel O'Neill is the thunder.

Not my cup of tea at all. I couldn't even finish the first one because of Hardy's "performance." Woody's doesn't look much better.

I fell asleep and didn’t feel like rewatching what I missed. Will probably sleep through the sequel at some point.

Venom was a okay movie but a bad venom movie. Upgrade was good venom movie.

Upgrade was a much better movie than I expected. The fight scenes were fantastic.

I tried really hard but I can't stop myself from pointing out that James Spader played Daniel Jackson in the original Stargate movie and later went on to voice Ultron, who fought Thor in Age of Ultron.

Less direct, but Kurt Russell, who originally played O'Neill with two Ls, also played Ego in the MCU. This is less relevant because Thor wasn't in that movie and who hasn't played a character in the MCU at this stage??

I apologise for this post everyone...

Stupid nerd brain...

I want to start that but have 4 seasons of clone wars first.

Yeah, my understanding is that it's basically Clone Wars Season... 8? Whatever [actual Clone Wars seasons]+1 is. And I haven't watched much Clone Wars other than the Tartakovsky version. Which I should really go back to for the nostalgia trip now that it's on D+, come to think of it, but I guess it's not canon any more, if it ever was.

I tried to watch the PS3 Cut Scene version of Clone Wars a while ago-- somebody, might've been somebody around here, linked me to a rewatch podcast that seemed like it might be a good excuse-- only to bounce off a half dozen episodes in, half because the show wasn't that great and half because the podcast wasn't that great.

I've since heard folks say that it's got kind of a slow start and there are alternate watch orders that might make for a better introduction, but whenever I start looking into it, it starts feeling like homework really quick.

General response to Bad Batch is very positive so I'll take y'all's word that it's good. I may yet give Clone Wars another try one day, but I get the feeling I'll want to save it for some time when I'm in a very patient mood.

Just watch Rebels. The best part of every Star Wars show have been Rebels cameos.

You don't really need to watch any clone wars for Bad Batch. It starts right at Order 66 and goes forward from there.

Watched the first episode of marvel's Manmade Organism Design Only to Kill. Basically it is robot chicken but not funny. Or rather I didn't find it funny. I know of Modok but not much about him so maybe the jokes are lost on me.

I've got to episode 4 and it's starting to improve, comedies do take some time to find their rhythm properly imo.

If anything, I love this cast.

We have entered the phase of comics after I stopped reading them so I have no clue whatsoever what the heck is going on in any of them.

Looks pretty though

The Eternals have been around since the seventies, they’re just part of the cosmic MCU titles which have never been as popular as the normal superhero stuff.
The Eternals are basically the Earth’s version of the Asgardians, except they were products of genetic manipulation by the Celestials millions of years ago to create a race godlike humans to watch over humanity as it developed. The genetic fallout from this is also responsible for the mutant gene and the general tendency towards superpowers in humans.

The Eternals aren't new, they were just one of those weird-ass offshoots of the cosmic parts of Marvel that rarely showed up, like Guardians of the Galaxy when they came out. Sersi was all over some really bad 90s Avengers comics, and I know Cannonball of the X-Men at one point was revealed to be one, which is the only thing I knew about them. They're from the 70s, they just never got much mentioned in the normal parts of the Marvel universe.

I assumed the gag at the end about leading the Avengers was "from the comics?"

Wow, Robb Stark and Jon Snow.

Ok, I still don't know anything about them - powers, personalities, storylines. For the most part Marvel has been doing great movies so I will trust them but it is the first of the films to have no one I knew anything about.

lol, the Cannonball/External thing was such a mess.

They basically have ALL the powers, are immortal, and are indestructible. Some of them can choose to specialize in a power set and get even stronger with that ability at the expense of other abilities, but functionally all Eternals have the same powers. Which is all of them.

I imagine they might be toned down a bit for the MCU.

I will give Fiege a crisp 20 dollar bill to stop bringing up dead Ironman.

Well, they got rid of talking about Uncle Ben.

But Batman will never stop having references to his parents.

So… what have they been doing up until now, did they not notice the alien invasions and general apocalyptic happenings?

My question is similar: if losing half of their number to the blip didn't prompt them to interfere, what has happened to finally get them to act?
