I'm hoping to also see a young Thanos in a flashback scene.

Cool cameos will be the only way I watch this movie in a reasonable amount of time.

You don't care about Eternals at all?

They've had their moments.

But yeah, they are pretty damn obscure. Then again, so was GotG, as other member mentioned here.

Yea Guardians of the Galaxy was obscure and it turned out great. MCU is good with cosmic stories.

MCU is good with stories.

DC is bad with stories.

They're both good with stories

It's WB's DC division that blows at times.

Not as a whole, no.
Same w. The Inhumans and New Gods.
I like certain individual characters from each franchise but find the franchises themselves meh.

I don’t mind obscure. I actually enjoy learning about new characters.
In this case though, I know too much about the characters!

Understood.

I'm willing to give them a chance, even though my "knowledge" is limited to their most noteworthy feats and Gaiman's run.

I’m looking forward to how you and the others end up reviewing this!

YouTube video

^^^meh.

Looks OK. A hell of a lot better than the other trailers.

I'm still looking forward to seeing the movie.

Wow! Stoked! And I hate the Inhumans New Gods, Eternals bullsit, weirdo nonsense usually. This looks great.

"You guys have been here how long; and you've never helped why?"

"We were told not to."

Hero 101 you shitty bastards.
The good guys always disobey orders to go out and do the right thing.

Not going to lie though. I lol'd when he broke the table at the end.

I've never really cared for the Eternals, so this could end up being a pleasant surprise for me if they can pull it off well.

That's like Uatu too, He won't get involved and end major threats in the Marvel universe because of stupid rules.

Um, the preview implies why, the Celestials instructed them not to interfere in human affairs with one exception and when a Celestial tells you to do (or not do) something, you obey.

Anyhow, this looks like it might be decent.

Looks dope.

I actually know nothing about Eternals. But this trailer got me stoked.

Also talk about star studded.

this looks really good

guy would've been proud to watch

Expanding on Robs point. MCU Eternals seem to be extremely advanced synthoids/AI constructs similar to, but much more advanced than Vision, shown when I believe Ajak was shown getting a power core inserted into her chest and then "activating" for the first time. So their prime directive was probably "Only protect humanity from Deviants".
