I actually love The Eternals

I love the opening scene with them fighting the Deviant in ancient Mesopotamia. I love the design of the Deviant, and how its multiple eyes are reminiscent of Arishem. I love the first scene in the present with Sersi and its use of Pink Floyd's "Time", and then the scene with Sersi and Sprite and Dane. I think that the initial characterization is superb, and that the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous.

I simply don't understand how this movie can be hated. Sure, I think it could have been done better as a D+ show, but I'm more than happy with what we were given.

This is absolutely how it feels being a big fan of this film and online at least Thor Love and Thunder. Almost everyone I’ve talked to in real life actually enjoyed Thor love and thunder as well, and same for the people who actually saw Eternals

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 01:32

I enjoy Love and Thunder, but I also find it disappointing in a way I do not feel about Eternals. For L&T I would've preferred a more comics faithful adaptation with less silly humor (still, the goats always crack me up).

NrFive2026-01-01 14:53

Loved both movies. I feel the whole pandemic and economic situation also killed much of the movie going audience. In my country the prices increased almost 50%.

L&T works for me personally as it is being told from the pov of Korg :)

TimelineKeeper2026-01-01 21:34

My biggest beef with these 2 movies is how they don't gel when it comes to the lore of the "Gods" of humanity. Frankly, I prefer the Eternals approach significantly over L&T's "yeah, all the Gods just sort of exist and get together still for orgies" approach. But I still enjoy both films immensely.

I also disagree with people who say Thor is too goofy in it. He's an overly traumatized by loss goofball who still has a ton of heart and good intentions. At this point he's lived for thousands of years, and over what is basically the last month or so, he lost his entire family, home, eye, felt responsible for the death of literally half the universe due to his hubris, lost his hammer, got a new axe, lost 2 of his new best friends, fell in love and pushed her away because he was scared, and started hanging out with some weirdos who all shared a connection he didn't feel. Nothing is really phasing him by L&T, until it does.

jerthebear332026-01-02 00:14

I love this explanation, I share that opinion for sure on Thors character; I also respect your take on characterization of the gods, I think it’s one of those half commentary on religion and half alibi for why they don’t come and help against like Thanos and shit.

On a side note I’m really happy for the acknowledgement of Love in the Doomsday trailer; I’m really hoping that the threads in Eternals (Arishems Judgement, Black Knight, and Harry styles) all get picked up on at some point - the sooner the better :)

FlipDaly2026-01-01 23:18

Ha I thought She-Hulk was awesome.

jerthebear332026-01-02 00:15

She hulk is awesome! And I love that DD episode, I liked the pilot with Bruce a lot too

jeridmcintyre2026-01-04 05:25

Same

Crimkam2025-12-31 23:21

I am glad for this movie existing. It had some very poignant moments and absolutely incredible imax visuals the likes of which I haven’t seen outside of maybe a James Cameron movie. Great speedster action, too.

Stefvfx2026-01-01 16:10

Well thanks 🙏

MarvelMind2025-12-31 23:21

So do I OP. Top 10 MCU for me. A true epic and the characters plus lore are just fantastic.

VOIDSPEECH2025-12-31 23:22

ETERNALS is one of my favs, love it!

unbelievablydull822025-12-31 23:22

I really liked it. It wasn't perfect, but it gets far too much hate

atrain7282026-01-03 02:01

It’s biggest flaw is that it didn’t get more worked into the MCU.

Affectionate_Past_392025-12-31 23:22

The whole sequence of them back in ancient times when Druid leaves the group is VERY well done and gorgeous to watch

Vast-Platform36472025-12-31 23:24

Legit my favorite Marvel film. The film plays with the themes of evolution and creation with such grace. Makari is awesome, Kingo is funny, Ikarus's eye lasers sound incredible.

When i saw it in theaters, that ending with Arishem over Earth had my cackling with delight, like HOLY SHIT that was one of the craziest moments of the entire MCU

Swifty2552025-12-31 23:25

Agreed

Old_Fox_19852025-12-31 23:26

I really enjoy it, too. I think its relatively slow pace in a time of ever-shortening attention spans probably caused a fair amount of its lukewarm reception.

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 00:01

I think you're right. I find its meditativeness highly appealing.

homarjr2025-12-31 23:28

An absolutely correct take. Great movie.

They did a great job of introducing and developing every character, in my opinion.

Ambitious-Pirate-5052025-12-31 23:29

And the Eternals love you

Resolution_Powerful2025-12-31 23:30

I like the movie too. Not sure why it gets more hate than black widow, capt marvel 2 and maybe antman 3.

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 00:10

I don't hate those movies either (I try to see what's good about all the MCU movies, even though some I find clearly superior to others).

GullibleGap99662026-01-01 00:11

I would rewatch eternals over ant man 3. Black widow is a toss up and never seen CM2

LittleBingo962026-01-01 03:44

Black Widow is okay for the first half. Once Rachel Weisz shows up it goes off a cliff. (I know...that doesn't sound right.)

LittleBingo962026-01-01 03:42

I guarantee you Marvels and Quantumania get more hate. Maybe that last Thor movie too, but that's mostly the Taika haters. (I like him, but he definitely needs a monitor to take his comedy keys away from him when he's had too much.)

Training-Ant-61502025-12-31 23:32

It’s honestly one of my favorites. Every time I watch it somehow rises in the ranks of my favorite Marvel movies

AidesAcrossAmerica2025-12-31 23:32

Amazing natural cinematography in that movie.

KafeenHedake2025-12-31 23:32

I don’t see hate for it so much as I see indifference.

NoelCanter2025-12-31 23:33

I think it’s a really good outing, but I think the deviant plot, while crucial to how they wrote the film, is very clunky and feels like it’s only real purpose is as a device to make more punches happen while exploring some really interesting character stuff over their history. I also never really liked the idea that there was a celestial inside the Earth and felt it made for a weird scenario between what Eternals wanted and what Thanos wanted and why they didn’t do anything against Thanos.

But like I said, the character stuff is a lot of fun and I am reminding myself I need to watch this again.

GullibleGap99662026-01-01 00:08

The thing with Thanos bothered me too. They said they only get involved with deviants when he is literally that lol.

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 00:09

In the comics, yes, but not in the MCU.

GullibleGap99662026-01-01 00:13

They called him an eternal in the post credit scene. They didnt mention deviant specifically but he was half and half and they are related. He even looks like one

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 00:24

In the movie Deviants and Eternals aren't related (except that Arishem created both). Deviants are organic beings which can evolve, Eternals are not. It's not that Deviants just have a certain "deviant" gene which Eternals lack, like in the comics.

GullibleGap99662026-01-01 00:33

They never said Eternals are not organic for one thing. They could be created organic beings with Thanos having the genes from both.

Invisiblegun22026-01-01 01:10

Only way i can see it is if the Eternal Titan group had one just like sersei who manipulated themselves to be able to produce & evolve?

LittleBingo962026-01-01 03:26

It would certainly explain Thanos' obsession with death if his people were an immortal race continually growing, reproducing and evolving on a single planet. That's a nightmare scenario.

GullibleGap99662026-01-01 00:35

It really deosnt matter either, they were also allowed to get involved with other eternals too.

Invisiblegun22026-01-01 01:09

But that creation from the same being gives that relation. They are created in opposites to eachother. Deviants destroy life where the eternals combat them & foster it. All in an effort to grow more celestials.

Now whats confirmed is Thanos IS an eternal. Which i understand how some can think he wasnt given how vague the whole titan ordeal was in Infinity War. & not to mention how the Titans were portrayed as just a normal civilization that grew too big & died due to overpopulation. That deviant gene aspect can still exist. I believe it does, its the only thing that makes him make sense. So many connections there lol

NoelCanter2026-01-01 00:19

I’m sort of less bothered by that aspect as much as the goals. Eternals needed Earth to be populated and thriving for the celestial to be born, but Thanos wants to wipe out half of all life. Stopping Thanos SHOULD have been a reason for the Eternals to engage for those aims alone. Maybe I’m not remembering a logic to it, but those aims felt counter to each other.

DigificWriter2025-12-31 23:33

Same.

Eternals is the only MCU project I've chosen to collect Funko Pops for.

It's also what I would pick if hard-pressed to choose an Absolute Favorite MCU project.

AntonChigurh89332025-12-31 23:34

Many of us enjoyed it too. Arishem has to be the most fair boss. You disobey his orders but instead of him punishing you. He's going go to look at the CCTV footages. To see if your actions was justified.

navjot942026-01-01 06:38

I’ve been saying a solid pitch for both a She Hulk and Eternals sequel would be Harry Styles showing up in LA, seeking out Jennifer Walters to represent humanity in cosmic court (she’s the only human that is both qualified and can survive in Celestial space). It can be a clip show showing all the good the Avengers and other humans have done to convince Arishem to not destroy the planet. Meanwhile the backdrop of all this is the multiverse getting destroyed for Secret Wars.

Readwhatudisagreewit2025-12-31 23:38

Top 5 for me; absolutely gorgeous, unique and vibey. I don’t get why it isn’t rated much higher…sadly, it’s probably a lot to do with racism.

HalfInfinite47042025-12-31 23:38

Yes it’s a good movie!

ParkDarson2025-12-31 23:38

Me too, I liked it for what it was and I wish, somehow we get to see these characters or at least some of them again.

IamJohnnyHotPants2025-12-31 23:40

Pink Floyd was the only good part of that movie. Everything after was quite bad.

millertime83062025-12-31 23:40

I finally saw it a few months ago, and thought it was quite a bit better than its reputation. Probably in the top 15 of mcu movies for me (higher praise than it sounds 😆)

Keeping1002025-12-31 23:40

I think you need a 2nd watch to really appreciate it, and most didn't care to do that.

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 00:03

That is probably true.

GodFlintstone2025-12-31 23:41

Not a big fan.

Found it to be very "meh " But I also don't like that Marvel seems to be sweeping it under the rug.

It's big problem is it tried to introduce too many characters at one time and failed to make most of them interesting. But some of the characters like Kingo, Makkari, Druig, and Thena made a big enough impression that I want to see them again.

Even Kit Harrington, as future Black Knight Dane Whitman, deserves more attention. He could be a gateway drug to Marvel Comics UK heroes like Captain Britain and MI-13.

It's past time for Marvel to go global.

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 00:04

I'm always a sucker for "fighting god" movies.

LittleBingo962026-01-01 03:38

I liked it fine. Marvel needed to do something different. My biggest problem was the two leads. They were a black hole of personality. They didn't have to be. I like the actors in other things. But they were just so bland and underwritten. It's like Disney thought giving them an actual sex scene was so daring, they didn't want to overdo it.
And Kit Harington should have had a bigger role. The audience needed a non-Eternal insert character to join the story.

Sue_Generoux2025-12-31 23:41

You can disparage the characters, you can disparage the story, you can disparage its place in the MCU (admittedly very awkward). But to me, this is the "eye candy" movie. Watch it again and just look at how it's filmed. This movie is beautiful. It was made by a very confident director who just knows how to capture a shot.

Also, the final fight is basically a Justice League fight done right. It's what Flash, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Superman and Dr. Fate would look like in battle if done competently.

Javayen2026-01-01 00:56

Never thought about the final fight that way - but you’re absolutely right

ebagdrofk2026-01-01 06:11

It’s seriously a fantastic comic book movie that we were lucky to get. I enjoy it every time I watch it I see it.

Sue_Generoux2026-01-01 06:18

I think it's a pretty movie and life-affirming.

BiddyKing2026-01-04 14:04

I’ll keep saying it but even if there’s no plans for the Eternals anytime soon I still think they should adapt some of the A.X.E. comics event that put the Eternals in conflict with the X-Men (where the krakoa-era X-Men are seen as a an ‘excess deviation’ and the Eternals’ programming forces them to attempt to eradicate the mutants). Like once the X-Men are up and running I think at least bringing the Eternals back as an antagonistic presence to also power scale the X-Men could be some good shit. Can also be a means to easily sidestep the Eternals ending stuff saying they were just re-programmed and sent back to earth having lost free will, but by the end of the story be broken out of it via help from Jon Snow and some Avengers or something (since the A in A.X.E stood for Avengers as the mediator to the X-Men v Eternals conflict), and we at least get to keep Sersi as an Avenger or Black Knight supporting character (if he ever gets anything)

But I think if they re-introduced the Eternals while focussing on their most appealing asset to casual audiences being their Justice League level battles and this time against some X-Men, it could give at least a couple of them a proper second chance in the MCU

SnooDrawings78762025-12-31 23:42

It's more appealing to fans of film rather than people that are fans of the MCU

GullibleGap99662026-01-01 00:09

Fans of film would criticize the plot, dialog and even acting.

CleanAspect64662026-01-01 06:23

This right here is the snootiest comment in this comment section, well done

LuxCanaryFox2025-12-31 23:46

I think it's a very visually appealling and solid movie tbh. I ought to watch it again! I also have a large Eternals Lego set, which i don't have room to build right now, but hopefully i can get my own place eventually...

Kingo or whatever his name was, showed up in one episode of fallout and he didnt last long

TooMuchButtHair2025-12-31 23:53

I also enjoyed The Eternals. I think some didn't enjoy it because it had a tough act to follow. Everything after End Game did.

OrdinaryLavishness112025-12-31 23:56

I loved it too and am saddened it won’t be part of Doomsday, and basically will be forever dropped from MCU like a bag of hot vomit.

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 00:07

Especially since Arishem claims that without Celestials being born, the universe will fall into darkness and all life will die.

LittleBingo962026-01-01 03:32

It took them sixteen years, but they brought Liv Tyler back this year. Arishem's Celestial Judgement of earth is an old comic book storyline that Marvel Studios will keep in its pocket for some future film someday.

Background-Task56112025-12-31 23:58

Hi!

Welcome to the team ^^ I really love this movie too, visually so much better than some that came after, although unfortunately there are one or two slow moments that spoil the enjoyment. I like the cast, but unfortunately I don't think we'll see them again. It's a film that will remain unique ^^

Einchy2026-01-01 00:05

There’s a lot to like with the eternals.

Great world building

Beautiful film

Great and weighty action, never felt like cgi models punching each other

A mostly good cast of characters albeit some aren’t as fleshed out so they kinda don’t land as well

Where it failed was that the script wasn’t as interesting as everything else.

dX9272026-01-01 00:06

I just remember going, "wow there's only about an hour left and they've barely reunited with like 4 of them...."

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 00:21

There are six of them together in Australia, plus one dead, before the hour mark.

ixnine2026-01-01 00:09

It’s actually in my top 5 favorite Marvel movies list. I get why many don’t like it, but I absolutely love it.

mastyrwerk2026-01-01 00:21

The Eternals is a murder mystery that didn’t bill itself as a murder mystery, and it confused the heck out of people.

I personally think it’s one of the greatest achievements in the MCU simply because they were able to make what is clearly the fringe of Marvel Comics lore and presented it tastefully without compromise. I’m not sure I would put it in my top ten (CAWS, Avengers, GotG, Infinity War, Civil War, IM2, MoM, Ragnarok, CAFA, Thunderbolts atmito) but it’s definitely somewhere in the top 20.

RyoGeo2026-01-01 00:35

It absolutely has its moments. As a very big Kirby fan, I will admit to wanting more. The historical stuff was great, the concepts were great, however, the Deviant big bad was just kind of a nothing and not compelling at all for me.

The celestial quandary was great, but also not realized very well. Seems as if they were trying to tell an A and B story and not going whole heart into either one of them.

I was so excited for the release and wanted to love but, while I don’t hate it by a long shot, it certainly fell very short for me.

Wooden-Radish-90082026-01-01 00:50

You like it because it is a great movie

Kane762026-01-01 00:52

Me, too. It's great to see Kirby's work visualized.

Invisiblegun22026-01-01 01:05

I do as well. The movie gave me a reason to like mcu thanos. Now he was COMPELLING, a dope villain but i didnt like how he didnt feel like the “mad titan” like he is in the comics. He was more like a “mad human”. Rambling about resources & being vague on how he’s the “only one who knows it”.

The emergence revelation gave me a little clarity on him. Or maybe it’s more so headcanon who knows but im gonna elaborate anyway. Now with Eros being revealed & him having the connection with thanos we know he is an eternal as well like in the comics. In Infinity war the Titans were treated like a normal race that just overpopulated the planet & died off. When that should be impossible considering they are eternals lol.

Figuring out all life is pretty much fuel & that once life reaches a certain point a celestial will be born. & how deviants were created for their apex predator purpose & deferred from it. Killing ALL life instead of major predators, so the eternals were created to foster said “fuel” so that more celestials can be made & that ensures the survival of the universe.

thanos being an eternal in the mcu but with that deviant disorder like in the comics.. Maybe he couldve figured this out & it caused an existential crisis where his two natures are clashing. So he comes up with fair genocide, & his people deem him mad? Ever since i watched the film it had me putting 2 & 2 together & theory crafting lol. Sorry for the rant but im on to something! They just have to come out & say it!

Jianyu1562026-01-01 01:11

Ikaris:Deviant! Enough! you want Earth it’s yours

yesmoreeggtalk672026-01-01 01:32

I love Eternals. It was something new and beautiful and all those folks bitching about the MCU just doing the same thing over and over were the same ones bitching about Eternals being different from other MCU movies.

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 01:44

TaChalla4Eva2026-01-01 02:51

I approve this message

TouchAltruistic2026-01-01 02:59

I loved it.

Paladar22026-01-01 03:06

The problem with Eternals is they deal with a huge world ending threat in a single movie and they’re never mentioned again. The film itself is fine

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 03:25

I'm not sure what other world-ending threats besides Thanos (and even then, it's two different Thanoses) last more than one movie? And also, it's never been mentioned again because the movie wasn't a big hit.

Paladar22026-01-01 03:42

I guess. But that was literally a celestial emerging from Earth lol it’s a big villain for an origin story of new characters. And yeah I guess you’re right but I don’t like rewatching it knowing nothing comes from it. Also what the fuck was that Harry styles cameo lol

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 03:49

I mean, it wouldn't have been just a cameo if the Eternals had actually returned as was promised.

Paladar22026-01-01 03:59

Was Harry Styles even serious about playing a big role? Never heard him talk about it

LittleBingo962026-01-01 03:46

Deep Impact and World War Z also had that problem.

karafuto2026-01-01 03:41

I thought it was okay

Agreeable_Car51142026-01-01 03:43

Totally agree. It’s the last interesting movie Marvel ever made.

thegoldenchain2026-01-01 04:06

I always found it interesting that one of the major complaints of this movie was that it had too many new characters and people had trouble remembering them. Like … what every other non-comic book movie does? Introduce you to a cast that you get to know over the movie? That’s your critique?

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 04:21

💯

sarandipity-412026-01-01 04:10

I liked it too!

First, it was a gorgeous movie. Any screenshot could be framed and put on a wall.

What affected me (as a painfully shy woman) was the depiction of a gentle hero. Someone who is kind, maybe a little less “loud”, but somehow saves the day through her gentleness. In so many movies with Powerful Women (tm), it seems like they just take a stoic, snarky dude, stick some boobs on them, and call it representation. Sersi *actually* felt like representation (not that “being alike” is at all required for a good story).

The movie would have made a better trilogy and split up the team a bit so we could live with the characters a little more. It had potential. I don’t agree with the amount of hate it gets though (but everyone is entitled to their own taste and opinion).

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 04:25

This is a fascinating point and also somewhat ironic, since Gemma Chan was also in Captain Marvel, which is a very "girl power" movie (which I also happen to love).

UrNotOkImNotOkItsOk2026-01-02 01:02

For a decade, I have made this argument seemingly *countless* times. When you're making a woman into an action hero, lean into their femininity! James Cameron needs to create a course to teach writers how to correctly characterize their heroic ladies. Call it something like, *Action Moms*. Lol.

sarandipity-412026-01-02 01:15

It’s hard because A) if you bring up that thought you’re called a misogynist (which… there’s nothing I love more than men telling me that I don’t Woman the right way) and B) there’s an overcorrection when it comes to female representation. I feel like we hit a sweet spot with characters like Buffy and Kim Possible, but Marvel hasn’t figured it out. Wanda was close but we all know how that turned out.

UrNotOkImNotOkItsOk2026-01-02 12:17

I really, really want to disagree with you with regard to Marvel, but I think you're probably right. It's not that they don't have great ideas, though. What they often lack is follow-through. They keep shying away from what they're building every time they get any pushback from the people who somehow managed to forget that women can be both hot AF *and* complex, interesting people.

As someone who loves the film, *Suffragette*, I cannot tell you how much It moved me when I heard Black Widow say the line, "You get to make your own choices now". That one went straight to my *bones*!

As great as that moment is, though, we still haven't gotten a story that believes in itself enough to just be *about* a badass woman. We get a lot of decent social commentary here and there, but almost never a singular, introspective look into how a woman internalizes her experience in this world.

I think I'm rambling; and quite possibly doing so on a subject I have no place speaking upon. Nevertheless, I feel like Marvel keeps shooting itself in the foot when it comes to the ladies.

They're not doubling down. They're just like, "Well, we tried, but people didn't connect with it, so we're just going back to the safe bets". For me, it's especially infuriating, because I really thought they were onto something with *She-Hulk*.

Cultural_Comfort58942026-01-01 05:03

Excellent film. 🎞️

I’m starting to believe that a lot people can see or comprehend beyond their brains 🧠

Brains can be an unreliable narrator

I don’t get how people can’t seem to understand that films (art) can be objectively good

Liking it or not is the subjective part

Plenty of films I can concede are well made, good films by the standards of the art form, I just don’t like them.

TheRealKingTony2026-01-01 05:15

I actually love this movie.

Though I understand why some may not prefer it? It's a bit more "refined" than some other MCU stuff and there are some people who don't like that. These people probably don't like A24 horror films either.

dibidi2026-01-01 06:04

i still believe this is the best movie set in the MCU, just not the best MCU movie

It was a cool concept that had some really neat stuff going on

Eternals is incredibly underrated. People talk about how weird and unrelatable the characters are, but they're missing the point. They're artificial beings who have lived for 7000 years. Of course they don't act like regular people. That's one of the things that they were addressing towards the end. They're trying to learn how to be "real people" for want of a better term. So few properties make being who should seem alien really alien, so I really appreciated that.
Plus, everything with the Celestials showed them as impressive and crazy powerful as they should. For once the MCU didn't go with a more grounded take. I definitely appreciated that.

I really want Kingo to team up with Kamala. She’d be completely unenthusiastic, but her mother would fan girl out and I think it would just be incredibly entertaining to watch. All three actors did a great job; they’d play off each other nicely.

I will defend this movie until I die and I really want to find out what happened to them all after the events of the movie.

Yup Chloe did an amazing job! Her camera work is stunning, I really enjoyed how we got a range of superhero shots from other points of view rather the the usual close ups same with other far away shots of terrain and characters etc it was visually stunning 🤩 one of my fave scenes is the battle of Babylon 😀, It’s just a shame we didn’t get that score in the soundtrack ☹️

I'll never understand why they didn't include them in Loki. Have Loki travel to a different era of earth and let him team up/ fight with one of them.

I love the tragic arc for Ikaris. Torn between his sworn duties and his family. His family never blamed him for doing his duties, but the guilt and shame was too much for him.

Visually great movie

Grand-Cold-25752026-01-01 12:46

I wish they’d followed the Neil Gaiman book a bit closer and had the Eternals interact with existing MCU characters as they do there but, apart from that, I was happy with it. There’s no other film in the MCU that looks or feels like it.

That sex scene is one of the most pointless scenes in the MCU. No chemistry whatsoever and suddenly sex scene lmao.

Nala91582026-01-01 14:44

Happy New Year - I love Eternals too and will defend it to anyone!!!

MrDonohue072026-01-01 15:17

You like what you like.

I thought it was aids

ProductArizona2026-01-01 15:43

Me too! Very underrated

eiffeloberon2026-01-01 17:32

I don’t care for it

StMcAwesome2026-01-01 18:39

Literally the best adaptation of someone with super speed.

I also enjoyed the Eternals. I wish it stayed as a murder-mystery and relegated the Deviant villain to just a minor red herring instead of a forgettable main bad guy. But otherwise, I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for the critical re-evaluation of it and the hour long video essays saying how the world just wasn't ready for it. It's legitimately in top 10 Marvel movies.

ReddiTrawler20212026-01-01 19:17

I found it to be a good enough film and a worthy part of the MCU.

101Hiper2026-01-01 19:23

Yeah I enjoyed it as well, sadly I don't think we're gonna see them again

Necessary_Ad21142026-01-01 20:23

Cool. Glad you enjoyed it.

TraditionalHotel94692026-01-01 22:14

Lets Bring Them Back! I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE ORIGINALS FUTURE PLANS FOR THEM

DigificWriter2026-01-01 22:44

To the people - even those who are fans - who continue to talk about how the movie should've been either a TV series or multiple movies, I'd suggest that you try shifting your thinking about it from it being an Ensemble movie to it being a movie focused on Sersei with the other characters in major Supporting roles.

BravoLeader30002026-01-01 23:26

I enjoy it more every time I rewatch it.

ZombieDracula2026-01-02 03:19

The Eternals is a great movie. It's unbearable how stupid people can be about it.

railroad92026-01-02 16:05

I dig Eternals a lot. It's Kirby's hard-on for the deeply racist "Ancient Aliens" bullshit from "Chariots of the Gods?" I find distasteful, and it's kinda unfortunate this film continues that nonsense into the MCU, but the characters are fantastic and I'd like to see them in more stuff.

mf_ga_asoif_ww2026-01-02 21:49

I loved it tooooooo!

Sylar_Lives2026-01-03 08:50

Vastly underrated movie heavy with mythology and world building. It’s extremely derivative of the Book of Enoch which only enhances it.

jeridmcintyre2026-01-04 05:27

Really do enjoy this movie and thought it set up some really cool monomers for the entire mcu.

Characters were all really well done. Awesome to see the Stark boys reunite.

The MCU has taken forever to follow up on nearly everything post-Endgame (especially because it never bothered to do Avengers films to push the universe forward) so it’s always gonna feel too little too late but I still think they should use the Eternals going forward.

My idea would be for during the whole X-Men saga they’re seemingly planning for after Secret Wars, to adapt parts of the A.X.E.: Judgment Day comics event in which mutants are seen as an ‘excess deviation’ and the Eternals’ programming forces them to try eradicate the mutants leading to a conflict with the X-Men. Sersi is able to work with the Avengers to get them to intervene and help fix the issue (and then shenanigans ensue).

So yeah I think if they brought the Eternals back by saying the celestials reprogrammed them to always stick to their core directive and while losing sole of their free will and send them back to earth as an antagonistic threat to the X-Men (and also an exercise in power scaling as the X-Men will have to combat these OP characters) it could be a good way to reintroduce them while somewhat sidestepping the seemingly failed Eternals 2 plans. And have at least Sersi make it onto an Avengers team and rekindle her Jon Snow stuff with him being all “I searched for you for years” or something I dunno. And then emancipate the Eternals from their re-programming etc.

There’s also all this talk of post-Secret Wars bringing back legacy characters like Cap and Stark and even recasting them etc., so in that same spirit I think they could easily and successfully do another Eternals film that adapts Kieron Gillen’s Eternals run with a returned Thanos who schemes his way into being their ruler. So they can frame it as a Thanos film while still being about the Eternals and their struggles as Thanos tries to have control over them for his own ends. It could also then explore Thanos’ history and connection to the Eternals, him being half one himself, and what it means for the Eternals that they helped create such a creature. I still think it was a missed opportunity to not have the original Eternals film explore the connection to Thanos that the Eternals and Thea has, mostly because it would’ve made the film feel more relevant to casual audiences

Anyway did a full essay but unfortunately don’t think there’s a future for the Eternals in the MCU (even though they should at least bring back Sersi and will be a massive shame if they don’t). But I think there’s enough compelling material that they could make a full trilogy and if they play the right cards it could still be successful with general audiences, via a second one being a conflict with the X-Men, and a third a conflict with a rebooted Thanos in their system while exploring their dark history together
