Eternals scene messed me up

I am a man in my mind 30s and I know that when characters die on screen, usually no one is really hurt. However I have a trigger when a character is fighting in futility against what kills them.

It happened in Saving Private Ryan, and it happened in The Eternals. The scene in Druig's village where Gilgamesh died, just thinking about it affects me so much. Even the scene at the end where Thena nearly died but kills Kro holds zero catharsis for me.

I have been told that talking about it helps make the feeling not so intense.

The MCU and the SSU: How I think it all ties together within the next ten years.

After the new rumor from Cosmic Circus of Kingpin, Mr. Negative, Kraven, and Scorpion appearing in Spider-Man 4 came out, I think I finally get what Sony's doing with their long term plan. I realize this isn't generally popular among MCU or SSU fans since most I come across on both sides seem to want to keep the two completely separate, and this whole write-up may very well not be what they're planning at all because it's basically all rumors at this point, but just from the latest developments we've heard, both through rumors and official sources, this is what I can personally piece together.

Be aware: this will probably be a very long read. ​ * Kraven the Hunter (October 6, 2023) - More or less, outside of a few references to Venom and Morbius here and there, Kraven's probably gonna be a standalone movie, much l...

Would Wandavision have been improved by removing Agatha?

To me, Agatha's presence introduced many problems: The entire Darkhold book which was both yet another Magical McGuffin and caused lots of issues eventually in Multiverse of Madness. Beyond being more extra "lore", it also felt repetitive towards prior MCU works which always revolved around a special McGuffin. It resulted in a very standard big effects driven finale when something more intimate and grounded would have been befitted the show and it's subject matter. Morality wise, it just kinda complicated things. Yeah, you could say it added more complexity but the show's story about the lengths people go to when they're grieving and the moral lines that can be crossed is sorta muddled when you have this twist villain character who poses a genuine threat and has even been doing certain bad things all the time. And who ends up being the final boss rather than Wanda, who caused the entire situation to begin with. On her own, Agatha just didn't have muc...
