The Eternals, the Marvel movie we were all waiting for… or not
Personally, i’m a sucker for Marvel movies, and love going to the cinema anyway, so any excuse to get my butt in a theater is a good one, that said, this movie has done nothing to get me exited, hyped, running around like a hyperactive baboon at the mere mention of it, heck, i was more hyped up about Dark Phoenix, well that didn’t end well, so, here’s all the things going against this movie, and maybe one or 2 things for it, i’ll see:
Against:
1) Pointless gender swaps – Why, WHY?? Plus, it’s not like they didn’t have a way to include more female characters without Gender swapping the originals, there is such a thing as legacy characters, some of the Originals could’ve had daughters, and maybe these original Eternals were busy on another mission, so their daughters filled in for them under the guidence of some of the other original members
2) The director – Now this is just my personal opinion, liking a director or not is subjective, but i tried watching one of Chloe Zhao’s movies, and cried, because it was so slow i couldn’t watch more than 15 minutes of it, and i don’t want a 2 hour movie to feel like it’s 10 hours!
3) The trailer – This trailer should’ve made my eyes sparkel and sent my brain into overdrive imagining the infinite different ways the movie could be, it didn’t do that, i’ll admit, it was cute, but it wasn’t amazing
For:
1) The time period(s) – One thing that might be interesting (though i suspect this is only gonna be in the beginning of the movie), seeing the Eternals thru the different time periods, from ancient times to present day, i will say this is one thing i was curious about from the moment they announced the movie
2) That one scene at the end of the trailer – What? I like my superhero movies with humor, and if there’s more scenes like that with the Eternals joking around, it might still be a shit show, but at least it’ll be a fun shit show
What are your thoughts on Eternals? I have a wierd feeling i already know the answer to this question…
