In this video, I tried to make a little sense of my thoughts on the latest Marvel film, Eternals, starring Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Lauren Ridloff, Brian Henry, and Kit Harrington.

As someone who loved this movie for all the reasons mentioned (in addition to how it tackles it philosophical and ethical themes), I can't tell you how much I appreciate you making this video. I'm convinced most Marvel fans didn't like this movie for the reasons Eternals is because its so devoid of the traits common in the Marvel formula, which is ironically what makes the movie work as a just a good movie.

How does this video have so few views, and this channel so few subs??? This is fantastic

[@samuelleask1132]

You hit the nail on the head with every point! I really loved this movie

This has been close to my opinion , brings nothing new to the table but it’s a very enjoyable superhero family drama with gray characters , subtle jokes and great visuals.

I really liked this movie when watching it in theaters. although several things stood out as not so good, pointless or totally illogical (like them being machines instead of a race of aliens, it's like this was made in phase 1 when the MCU was trying to ground everything in plausibility) in hindsight. still don't think it's a bad movie.

MY criticism when it comes to the Eternals is: you have a multiverse, make them be the Avengers of a side universe. It feels WILDY absurd how so many extremelly powerfull beings inhabit Earth at the same time. Maybe they didn't a sense of how big and old the world is, but like... PLEASE! Just use other universes... We don't need all heroes to be in the same place at the time all the time all at once. Set the Avengers in one, the X-men in another, the Inhumans in another, the Eternals in another. It feels overcrowded otherwise. The world building doesn't feel accurate and or believeable. It's just too much!
