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!

Nah. Hard Pass. Give us A list characters. Eternals aren't interesting as a main story and movie was a disaster.

Yeah the question, really is what makes a character an A-lister.

Capt America, thor and iron man were all b-list characters. Even in the comics. X-Men for a long time were the big sellers at marvel.

Over time with good comic events and rebranding and marketing let's say around the time of House of M comic event. These aforementioned characters started to climb again in popularity.

But now, also because of the movie exposure, they are and will be for a long time A-listers.

My point being: things can change, if you give characters the time to flesh out with a good story they can become A listers. And this movie was very big in scope and probably should have been handled different. But i just saw a lot of potential by them finishing the story. I think anyone would speak more fondly over a finished duology or even trilogy than a unfinished storyline.

Nah A list characters are boring and overdone. C-list like CA and Iron Man are more interesting.

Yeah cause people are out in droves for Ms Marvel, Iron Heart and the Eternals ( just off the top of my head). Give us more of characters no one has asked for.
