Looks like a very watered down version of Kirby's cosmic concept.


Downvote away, but as an old comics fan from the 70s and 80s, I thought the late Kirby stuff-- the late 60s early 70s DC (Mister Miracle, New Gods, Kamandi and OMAC) and mid-70s Marvel (Eternals) was lame and hackneyed. The Eternals, especially: Thena/Athena, Ikaris/Icarus, Makkari/Mercury, Sersi/Circe, Zuras/Zeus. I get where he was going with them being mistaken for the old gods, but it seemed sort of pointless to have this in the Marvel (comics) Universe WHEN YOU ALREADY HAD THE OLD GODS (Thor, Loki, Hercules, Odin) WHO WEREN'T REALLY 'GODS'... Of course this whole mess was eventually cleaned up and explained by later writers by retconning.

I wish the whole Eternals thing was never put into the Marvel (comics) Universe continuity, and thus would never have wound up in the MCU.

I have never missed an MCU movie in the theater YET, but this may be the one.

I was excited but unfortunately this doesn't look good. The suits look like CW uniforms plus the whole " we taught humans everything" i hate movies that put this in...sounds like Ancient Aliens on history channel.

Folks on Twitter have spotted a shield that looks like a prototype of Cap's.

Looks more like Wonder Woman's shield than Cap's.

Might end up being good but that trailer was pretty lame.

People comparing this to GOTG might be forgetting that the GOTG trailer created a ton of buzz for that movie.

I don't get the music selection. It made sense with Guardians of the Galaxy, but going back 1000's of year to show hunter gatherers how to grow crops? It's as lame as the Captain America, Iron Man line at the end.

That was my point in one of those race swapping threads. People freak out when a black person plays an anachronistic character, but say nothing when Elton John is playing over some appropriately cast scene set in medieval times. The trailer is going for a very broad idea of any historical reference.
