Why is no one talking about the scene were Druig and Ikaris trade the book and Twinkies??? It screams older golden child and annoying edgy younger sibling.
And the fact that Druig probably used the book as a conversation starter with Makkari
I liked Ikaris and Sersi’s relationship. I see a lot of people hating on it in order to support Gilgamesh and Athena or Druig and Makharri. We have a love story that is millennials in the making. Ikaris IS the strongest eternals BECAUSE he is a soldier. His only purpose to loyally follow arksham and be his perfect soldier. Sersi was never given a direct purpose which was why she was able to connect with humans on a such profound level and had so much freedom. They fell in love and stayed together for millenniums. Ikaris only felt “normal” or human when he was around her. He loved her so much, he couldn’t bear the thought of lying to her for a second longer and left. Obviously he is not going to care about humans and the earth. He sacrificed the one thing that made him happy just so he could keep being the soldier he was made into. Sersi still loved him till the moment he flew away. I for one thought they had a lot of chemistry contrary to everyone’s complaint. Even when they were fighting and the others HATED him except for sprite, Sersi never stopped loving him and he choose his love for her over completely his mission/ sole purpose. Even if it meant he wasted centuries not being with Sersi for nothing. If he had try to kiss her I’m 99% sure she wouldn’t reject him at all. He couldn’t live with himself afterwards because who was he outside of being a soldier? outside of loving Sersi? He was an empty shell so he did what he thought was best and flew into the sun. I personally doubt that he’s dead. I think it would be a waste to throw away such a powerful character none of the eternals could defeat. Sure they got a few licks in, but he was beating they ass like nothing. The only one who stopped him was Sersi and that was because they loved each other and would never lay a finger on the other one. He was an amazing character because he was so flawed and complexed. All the eternals we’re flawed in one way or another. So that’s my rant lol.
So everyone’s saying how they came out of the movie preferring Makkari/Druig over Sersi/Ikaris, and yeah while they’re cute and I ship it, Ikarsi just have me in even more of a chokehold.
Ignoring their tragic ass ending, I just love the dynamic of awkward, innocent first love where both are utterly nervous and terrified of fucking it up because they have no idea what they’re doing but also super excited and eager and so much in love. That trying to find how you fit with another person, slow but steady, until one day you’re seamless like it’s always been easy and effortless. Both imperfect but filling the spaces of the other perfectly.
rip to richard and gemma’s attempts at making me fall for ikaris and sersi’s romance story because all my boy druig had to do was say in his wonderful accented voice “my beautiful beautiful makkari” and gently press his forehead against hers for me to be in the theater like
the words “my beautiful, beautiful makkari, did you miss me?” will forever live in my head rent free. im afraid i won’t ever be able to be in love because that just made my standards even higher
I kinda miss Eternals but at the same time I think I was on whumpblr for a little too long / I had seen Druig’s name pop up so often there that I just assumed something big happens to him…so safe to say I’m a little bit disappointed in that aspect.
Aside from that, acting was so freaking good !! And the story was sick and the whole movie is so pretty and they all deserve the world (druig x makkari otp xx) except that one iykyk
I’d like to believe I’ll re watch it eventually, especially since it’s out on Disney+ finally, idk
