Then Mrs. Griffin and I will wait until it doesn't cost $30 to watch.

I get it, they spent kamillions to make it and they only made it to make money. But Disney will never suffer from loss.
Maybe actually make some people happy after a year of global shit-sucking, instead of just using it as a motto for the park. Give out some free movies, because the goddamn merchandise will more than cover their asses.

Not gonna lie, this is the first I've ever even heard of this character. Of all the dozens of Marvel characters who got movies made over the past couple decades, Shang Chi is the one I know the least about. He probably popped up in some comics I read over the years but never in a major enough role to leave an impression. But the movie still looks cool, or at least a second attempt at a martial-arts story after the Iron Fist show let everyone down.

Yeah, I might have passed by him at some point over the years but don't remember. The Legends figure that came out with the Demogoblin wave is badass and made me look into him. But I still haven't read anything.
And I dug Iron Fist.

I think the Eternals might be the most selfish dicks in the universe. Not sure about this one, not feeling it at all.

I fell asleep halfway through that trailer, and it's not even two and a half minutes long. Mrs. Griffin says she thinks it looks interesting, but she's German, so her opinion doesn't count.

I read someone say it looks like that shit Inhumans show with a bigger budget and I have to agree. No interest in this or Shang Chi.

Hmm, I think the trailer looks really cool. I dig the indie vibe Zhao seems to bring to it, at least in that short little teaser. And I wouldn't bet against Marvel at this point, or really ever. Everyone thought Guardians was gonna be their first failure and look how that turned out.
And the only Eternals comic I've read is the Neil Gaiman miniseries from a while back, and it was great. I can't really remember the plot but I think part of it was that the immortal super-people had forgotten who they were, so that could be the answer to why they didn't do anything to help out when half the universe got killed.

That's it. It's not that I don't have faith in Marvel. This just felt very cold and detached. I mean, more than them actually being detached from everything that was happening. It makes me wonder if they were also stricken by The Snap and lost people, and this shook them into action...after everyone came back. Meh, see it's still weird. Not like I'm not gonna watch it anyway.

I've never seen or read American Gods. I should really do that. And since that was also a Neil Gaiman joint, I wouldn't be surprised if he used a similar "Gods who forgot they were gods" plot when he did the Eternals miniseries in the 2000s.

Yeah, I've only read the book, long ago. If you do, OK, get Anansi Boys, to go along with it.

I got some serious "Brazil" vibes from the Loki's first episode. This show looks like it could be really fun, and yet stylistically unique from both WandaVision and the Sam & Bucky Show.

The actress who plays Sylvie is distractingly hot.

And then there's this.
So it's just versions of the universes Strange looked in on, and centered around the Infinity Stones? Alright.
