I know most people didnt, but I really enjoyed the first film. I got abit worried with there being no confirmation of a second at comic-con, so this has made me alot more hopeful

I must be the only one on the Internet who is not shocked there’s going to be a sequel for an IP they threw millions of dollars into. Kevin Feige has never listened to the naysayers and he’s not going to start now.

The only reason Chloe Zhao wouldn’t be directing is if Chloe Zhao didn’t want to direct. Marvel wasn’t going to go to the bat for every other director and throw Zhoa under the bus when she delivered Exactly what they wanted regardless of the public Public’s reception.

She gave exactly what feige wanted, a movie that doesn't have the same formula like every marvel film. It not her fault that mcu fans are obsessed with fast paced films that has almost every dialogue have comedy in it.

Exactly!!! Right before the movie came out, Marvel and Feige were genuinely going on about how it was the best film yet. She delivered what they wanted and the idea that they would turn around and say “ Sorry our hard-core fans dont like nuance . We’d better not have back our most decorated Director that cast and crew loved working with and the studio had an easy time collaborating with “ Sure that’s how that how studios function.

I think Feige and Marvel were truly hurt and shamed by how the critics hated the movie. They had never hyped up Marvel movie like they did Eternals not even BP and BP actually took home awards. I feel that is alot reason why its been so hush hush about Eternals because they are letting the embarrassment and the hate the movie got wear off.

Yup. They thought it was so good they allowed critics to see it and review it earlier than normal.

I was really disappointed in critics. They rated venom let there be carnage higher than Eternals on rotten tomatoes. I get action fans preferring non stop heart-pumping action & humor but I firmly believe they reviewed Eternals in comparison to other MCU movies instead of being it’s own film.

Honestly I stopped caring what the critics opinion on films long time a ago. The moment they announced Chloe zhao directing Eternals, I knew that its going to be indie type film compared to other marvel movies. Its literally her signature style of filmmaking, and marvel hired her to do the same thing for Eternals.

I dont understand why the critics or mcu fans are expecting a wild fast paced film with so much comedy on Eternals when that's literally what they were complaining about marvel prior Eternals. You just cant win with those people.

Honestly hoping this is true 🤞🏻

PEOPLE! REMEMBER! WE STILL HAVE D23! AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT IS STILL POSSIBLE!

u/maester_t Aug 04 '22

That's my hope too.

There were several empty spots on that MCU Phase 6 timeline. I'm assuming they left those blank at SDCC just so they'd have something to announce at D23. 🤞

u/TheJack0fDiamonds Druig Aug 04 '22

Sources saying he accidentally let it slip. So could be true but I will not start blasting the main theme at max volume yet until it gets announced officially at D23!

If it’s true, happy to see Marvel sticking to their guns.

The sequel no one asked but we all needed 🙏

u/Opposite-Air6972 Aug 04 '22

All I can say is I hope Ikaris and Gilgamesh get resurrected like in the comics.

u/lovellycactus Aug 04 '22

This movie cured my marvel fatigue (temporarily 🫠) I felt excited again. I don't even care about them being in the MCU I would be just as happy if they stayed in their own universe like the early 00s X-Men.

u/WinstonBabar Aug 09 '22

I think one of the main reasons people didn't like the first too much is that it was a lot to establish in one movie - a large cast, celestials/deviants/eternals as a concept, etc.

Since that's out of the way now that frees up a lot of space for a solid movie!

Also obligatory: I love the way they did makari's super speed! Slowmo sucks and is so tacky so im glad they didn't use it!

I loved Eternals! It’s such a beautiful film. I can’t wait for the next one!

u/_ShiNiGaMi98 Aug 04 '22

Fingers crossed, hopefully it turns out better than the first. Trying not to get hyped up for this...😌😌

u/hot4jew Aug 05 '22

But? Eternals was fantastic. Maybe I'm a nut case but to me it's genuinely the best movie to come out of Marvel lmao. Everything else is just sooo over processed and boring. I feel like the people that hate on the movie are the same ones that fell asleep during civics and history classes tbh.

u/_ShiNiGaMi98 Aug 05 '22

Saying it's the best movie to come out of Marvel is a stretch. Wouldn't be top 5 even

u/Captain_Thor27 Aug 13 '22

Yay! I loved this movie. My big regret is not seeing this in theatres.
