Captain America Brave New World/Eternals

One thing I genuinely liked about Brave New World was how they had incorporated Eternals into this. They used the dead Celestial as the source for adamantium and we also got to see its giant body when Sam and Torres were fighting to prevent a war. It just made me kind of happy considering the fact that they scrapped Eternals for later on and made it so it wasn't for nothing and brought something into the MCU for the long run.

I liked Brave New World overall. It isn’t the best MCU movie or even the best one of 2025 but I still enjoyed it. It was cool seeing old plot points brought up again

I did enjoy how, we’re finally starting to see the piece and loose threads from movies past come together whether it was BNW or Thunderbolts*. A big issue that I’ve had with the prior phases is that they’ve dropped a lot of… stuff happening all over the universe with no hint of payoff.

I mean personally, I could’ve done with more multiverse traveling or seeing the other Earths. As of now, the only stories that deal directly with the multiverse are Loki, What If…, Ms. Marvel, No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness, Quantumania, Marvels, Deadpool & Wolverine and arguably Shang-Chi, First Steps, Zombies and X-Men 97 (counting out the movies from the Sony Spiderverse
). This out of 14 movies and 19 shows (including specials but not additional seasons) so far (basically 12 out of 33 movies and shows over 5 years, which wow!).

I’m happy we’re finally seeing payoff but I hope going forward the reduction of movies and shows (especially shows) will continue the trend of payoff.

Plus Fantastic Four's new movie.

It’s there under First Steps (figured it was easier than saying The Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four, Fant4stic or The Fantastic 4).

This is a controversial stance here, but I’ve found the Multiverse saga feels more fleshed out if you incorporate the Venom trilogy, the first two Deadpool movies, Morbius, and Kraven.

The only thing I didn't like was the buildup of Red Hulk. Like...it wasn't a surprise, if you watched the trailer you knew it was coming.

That’s not the movies fault, that’s marketing. Imagine how hard that ending would have hit if it hadn’t been spoiled. I also wish they’d stuck to the first design for Leader.

I am glad they salvaged something from the train wreck that was The Eternals. Considering that the original storyline would have introduced the X gene and mutants into the MCU, I understand the reason for changing it, but I personally would have delayed it closer to X-men and kept more to the original script which ties in to Thanos.

Sylar_Lives2025-11-16 07:09

Eternals wasn’t a train wreck if you view it from a world building standpoint. We learned so much more about how the Marvel universe functions in this one movie than we did in the previous two dozen or so. The characters were never the real focus. It’s basically the MCU Book of Enoch.

The main character of *Brave New World* is Thunderbolt Ross, and the main villain is the Leader, so it's basically a sequel to *The Incredible Hulk*. Plus the big MacGuffin of the story is the petrified corpse of the big bad from *Eternals*. But it's a Captain America movie?

I kinda feel like they should do something like that with Ant Man Quantumania. Maybe like having Cassie by herself helping the hero after she’s learned and grown from that movie

Sylar_Lives2025-11-16 07:04

This isn’t fair to Sam Wilson at all. He’s obviously not Steve Rogers but he still was the only one who could’ve talked down Ross the way he did. His pre Falcon background was being a councilor for military vets. He talked to Ross in a way that only his experience could have prepared him for, and only he could have succeeded in defeating the Red Hulk using words and empathy the way he did.

Say what you want about the Eternals story in general but there's no denying Chloe Zhao put in the work directing that movie and making it look beautiful.

Overall-Gaming782025-11-13 18:40

Exactly. It was a good movie! I just hate that they scrapped future stories for it.

Sylar_Lives2025-11-16 07:01

Scrapped is a harsh word when you consider how the movie you made this thread about touched on abandoned plot threads from The Incredible Hulk. The Eternals will eventually be revisited in some fashion.

Overall-Gaming782025-11-16 22:27

Fair enough. I just had heard a rumor about it being done until further notice is all.

P00PooKitty2025-11-13 14:11

Here’s the thing about Wilson Cap, his best stories are:

the realities of the avengers not getting paid and him basically being broke

That his being black is probably a bigger hurdle for him being accepted as captain than the lack of serum

Having to back the us government when it goes authoritarian

The legacy of the cap they want you to forget

This is shit that makes for a thunderbolts level movie over a middling movie and were some of the best parts of his show.

BravoLeader30002025-11-13 19:06

Hulk should've been in it, and the final fight against Red Hulk should've taken place on Celestial Island.

Sylar_Lives2025-11-16 07:07

I disagree. The whole point of the dynamic between Sam and Ross in this film was the approach that Sam’s councilor background taught him when dealing with unstable men of the military. Banner would have been a detriment here with his history with Ross.
