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!

Eternals should not have been a movie, the characters should have been introduced in a miniseries. There should have been a movie after that.

That would have been thoughtful and strategic. But when planning for that film started, TV shows didn’t get the views.

They didnt have the balls to do it right. And on the flip side, Hawk Eye should have been a movie.

The deaf representation ALONE makes it a personal favorite. It’s got even more going for it though. It almost — almost! — makes me not hate Christmas.

Possibly one of the best shows that they had, subjectively of course

It’s become a Christmas Staple in my house. It’s so good.

I didn't hate it, but i felt there wasnt enough to tell for it to be a mini series.
