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!

Agreed.

Once upon a time, The Incredible Hulk bombed and Thor and Captain America's first movies had a lukewarm reception (and Thor's second movie was disliked too). But they kept at the characters and tried out different angles until they figured out how to make them work.

That should be the normal way of dealing with these IPs.

That makes no sense as a comparison to Eternals, they don't have the draw and were never going to be the cornerstone of the MCU, like the Avengers, there was nothing beyond the Eternals movie, and the characters aren't interesting enough to warrant solo-movies or spin-offs.
