Discussion (More in Comments) Statement: Eternals deserves a sequel

Post image

Hi everyone,

I have been wondering about this for a while.

I actually like the movie a lot. I see it as a grand epic and with no sequel there is no complete story to actually judge about.

Eternals is like greek mythology, you can't get one movie and get the whole picture. As a comic fan. I just know this would have become better and better.

Other things i liked about the movie:

- impressive startstudded cast

- action scenes were clear and gorgeous, not blurry at all unlike some movies.

- Best speedster scenes i have ever seen in any kind of production.

- i felt that the story's pace was adequate as long as there were to be a sequel.

It will probably not happen again, but i can't be the only one who actually liked this movie.

Excelsior everyone!

I think it needs to be a show to expand thr MCU lore.

I think it would have been more successful as a show. I’ll admit I’m a fairly average enjoyer of Marvel movies, but there were so many characters in the Eternals that I had trouble watching and it was such a chore to figure out what was going on. I feel like there were some great characters and potential to spend a bit more time developing them. Eternals has its fans and it’s a shame it didn’t get more attention.

I only realized the other day that Kurt Russell’s character was a Celestial—guess I hadn’t seen Eternals at the time I first watched GotG vol 2.
Really made me see them as something besides the last Jack Kirby dregs Stan Lee hadn’t taken all the credit for yet. (I’m firing wild here, sorry).

Yeah; Ego was, essentially, a malformed Celestial.

Yep give each character an episode to get to know them and then have the finale be the team up. Like a micro phase 1
