Marvel movie eternals and wow

After watching the movie, I think there is a similarity between the setting of eternals and wow.

the celestials basically titans, eternals are basically titan watchers.

maybe blizzard borrowed some of the story from eternal comics

if azeroth is ready to come out, will she destroyed the planet?

Its all based on ancient mythology, there isn’t a new idea under the sun.

Really?

Never taken a creative writing or mythology literature class?

These themes are hardly unique to Marval or WoW.

Oh man…Tolkien, Lovecraft…pleaseee

WoW took a lot from those 2 lores before Comics, if you read the Simarillion, you’ll find how the middle earth was form by Eru and the Ainur singing and creating all life but Melkor Also known as Morgoth (Sargeras ) created all the bad things and he was the first dark lord, Saurom was just a lieutenant (Saurom like a titan watcher)…etc

Also all the Old Gods / Void comes from Lovecraft.

this. literally everything is reused and cliche.

it doesn’t matter how original you try to be, it’s already been done before.

Maybe so, but the Eternals and WoW don’t own and didn’t create that story concept of titan worlds or construct keepers. Fantasy stories constantly take inspiration from each other, they all do it. And Blizz has taken a lot from many stories and mythologies. But they give it the WoW unique spin and flavor to make it their own.

For the future we currently don’t know what happens to a planet when a titan hatches. But we can likely assume Azeroth will be fine, they’re not just going to destroy the planet. The titan will probably just magically teleport herself out.

I know I was watching the Eternals, and kept grinning cause I just thinking someone’s getting sued over this.

No.

Though I’ve read enough 40k to write a novel on my own if I really tried.

It took me 3 days to watch that thing; it was the most boring movie ever, and long. I would make it close to 40 minutes or so and just get too exhausted.

With some movies, you want the extended addition, that one I wanted the “brevity cut.”

Tolkien also borrowed from ancient legends and stuff. That is why you can’t sue over “orcs”, “elves”, etc.

Wait until you find out about the old gods and H.P. Lovecraft’s writing.

I really tried to enjoy Eternals but I thought it was kind of boring? I loved the cast. I just didn’t get invested in the movie.

It was like watching paint dry, but more slowly. :wink:

If they edited it to 90 minutes I think it might be OK; it is rare for me to say that as I have the Extended Lord of the Rings trilogy and love that.

I wonder if it could be like the Snyder cut of Justice League, though? I watched Justice League and thought it was bad. Then I took a chance and watched the Snyder cut and it was such a GREAT MOVIE!

I thought the movie was okay. I don’t regret watching it, but didn’t want to rewatch it again, let alone risk 3 hours to do so.

Maybe I’ll revisit it this weekend.

Same ol story just told in different ways

Eternals just took it to new levels of borrowed… and not just taken from mythology, but seems also from DC comics. How else do you get a Superman in a marvel story.

Never did that
