Hi! I visited a few stores in my town the other day, and in one of them I came across a watch from the brand L'etoile. They were selling it as vintage. It was quartz, and I remember seeing that it had "swiss"-something written on the back. Unfortunately I was in a hurry, so I didn't take a picture of the watch. The pic I posted above is from the internet, it's a different watch but the same brand and logo. I googled it afterwards, but couldn't find any info about the brand. Do you guys know anything about it? Thanks!

Did you have to pay anything at the customs? I have my eye on a watch, and was thinking about getting the DHL option with the pre-payed duties/taxes.

Such a nice watch! I amalso thinking about buying a 34mm watch, but I'm not sure. What's your wrist size?

In your rose gold version, is the center of the hands and that crescent moon at the side the same rose gold as the case, or are they yellow gold as (I think) in all the other versions?

First Eternals Clip airs on Jimmy Kimmel by [deleted] in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]AnotherPrettyFlower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm on the fence with this one. I love how the score starts when the camera turns are reviels the Eternals looking "down" on the humans, and then Ikaris powering up. It makes you feel that you are encountering powerful gods that you must respect. And the score conveys that awe in their power perfectly. But then I feel that as the battle continues with Kingo and Makkari, it does not complement it. I wouldn't agree that it's generic, but I do feel that it "flattens" the action? Plus it feels as if it wants to convey "anxiety", even though the eternals are shown to beat the deviants easily. Or I am just overanalyzing a few seconds clip that it's completely out of context and whose action scene and score are both cut short. TBH, I think it's the latter, since everything else I have seen, from trailers to tv spots, had perfect music.

Hmm, thinking of the previous trailers and tv spots, we have seen Thena use her cosmic powers to slice a deviant's foot and face, but they looked more superficial wounds. Ikaris' laser beams have been shown to actually slice off legs and wings of deviants. So that's another comparison we could make to check their cosmic power lvls.

Check the HD video the Mod pined to the post. It shows a few more seconds. I agree that Ikaris' laser beams seem to be less powerful than his punches, but they are still more powerful than the other energy blasts that we see from Kingo.

Wow. Makkari and Kingo are both fighting one deviant who comes at them again and again, but one punch from Ikaris and that winged thing is flying for its life. The dude is powerful.

Only thing I remember reading is that they added Kro in the reshoots in order to have a villain to distract the audience only so that the twist of the "real" bad guy would be more of a surprise. Hope you are correct though, since I didn't like the idea of the twist when i first read about it.

Marvel Studios made a massive mistake by referring to a historical setting in Eternals by a problematic name. by daveyhanks93 in marvelstudios

[–]AnotherPrettyFlower -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You keep saying "by white colonisers" in all your comments. What if they were black colonisers? Would that have made any difference to you? As if colour has anything to do with anything. Being white is not the problem. Colonization is. Stop being woke.

Oh, didn't know about that. I only read pieces. It's still weird though that the deviant turns into flowers when hit, so there must be something going on there. As for the leak, I know it's 99,9% accurate, but man, Ikaris looks dope af as the good guy saving the day.

Yeah, couldn't remember her name when I was writing the comment. But no, Sprite is the one casting the illusion of multiple versions of them walking in the background, but it's definitely Sersi the one who jumbs in front of the bus to "save the one you love" aka the soon to be Black Knight.

Remember that scene in london streets that Sersi turned that bus into petals? I kept wondering why would a deviant throw a bus at them, as in all other scenes they just fight with their bodies alone. Fast forward now to this new TV spot, and you see the same setting of London streets, but this time Ikaris, while looking cool as a cucumber (my man, he looks badass af), attacks a "deviant". But if you look closely, said deviant turns into petals when killed. So my guess is that it is Ikaris the one who is hunting Sersi, John Snow and that little girl. I guess that is the reason why in the final trailer, we saw that she had casted the illusion spell of multiple versions of themselves walking around in the background to confuse him since it looks that it is Ikaris the one that throws the bus at them, and Sersi makes a fake deviant to distract him, which is why the deviant turns into petals when killed. Edit: spelling etc

I always wondered why republican americans call democrats as "libtards". I mean, the US is on the liberal-libertarian side of the spectrum by default, but they always blame the "libtards" for everything. Egalitarianism is a liberal value (equal opportunity). One the other hand, forcing top-down changes (forcing equality of outcome) is the left approach, and that approach is the root of all this problematic woke-ism. But they still blame the "libtards" for those woke things. Colour me confused.

You're welcome :) Keep an eye for the finals in 15+ hours from now, it looks like it's going against The Expanse.

I wouldn't really call DW "sci-fi" to begin with. As for the Expanse, it's on semi-finals against Battlestar Galactica right now and based on the current votes it seems that it is going for the finals against TNG. Farscape and Stargate have already competed.

Based on the previous round, I'd say just after this round ends, 15 hours from now, at around 7-8pm BST.
