61/100 on metacritic from 18 reviews, considering its gonna get an automatic 20 point bump cuz its a female asian director and has a diverse cast, man its gotta be a real piece of shit

guess another movie not to bother going out to theaters to see, the only 2 movies i might end up seeing in theaters in 2021 are Fast and Furious 9 and Spider-man 3 lol

Saw the trailer for this before Dune, and it's the first time I (a lifelong comic nerd) have not cared even a single tiniest of bits about a Marvel film. Somewhere someone has to getting an award for managing to slaughter such a golden goose.

'Eternals' is Marvel's weakest film in years, but at least it finally gets LGBTQ+ representation right

Marvel's latest is its weakest film since "Thor: The Dark World." It introduces some great characters but loses focus with its massive cast.

those wokeness points really make up for too much brown.

Reviews are so bad on this. Glad to see critics aren’t just ass kissing because it’s Marvel.

Ambiturner · Oct 25, 2021

Critic reviews are meaningless. Score could be low because it wasn't woke enough or they had the audacity to have a white male save the day

Critics caring more about quality of a movie than one that pushes their agenda?

No it doesn't. What's more likely is its less woke than we think AND it's a piece of shit

Kumail Nanjiani Responds to Critics of LGBTQ Eternals Character: 'We're Upsetting the Right People'

Brian Tyree Henry's character Phastos in the upcoming Eternals is the first openly gay superhero in a Marvel movie

news.yahoo.com

The actor responded to Marvel fans who allegedly left negative reviews of the film on IMDb before its release in theaters, according to The Direct.

Some of the now-deleted complaints and negative reviews allegedly pertained to the change in the sexuality of Brian Tyree Henry's Phastos, who is the first openly gay superhero in a Marvel movie — but who was not in the comics.

Nanjiani, who stars in the film as one of the Eternals, tweeted a response to the news on Thursday. "Looks like we're upsetting the right people. Eternals opens November 5th," he wrote in the since-deleted tweet.

"He's married, he's got a family and that is just part of who he is," Feige told Good Morning America at the D23 Expo in California.

In February 2020, actor Haaz Sleiman teased his upcoming on-screen kiss with costar Henry, telling NewNowNext that filming the Eternals love scene — Marvel's first LGBTQ kiss — was emotional for everyone on set. Sleiman plays the husband of Henry's Phastos.

"It's a beautiful, very moving kiss," said Sleiman. "Everyone cried on set."
"For me, it's very important to show how loving and beautiful a queer family can be," Sleiman said. "Brian Tyree Henry is such a tremendous actor and brought so much beauty into this part, and at one point I saw a child in his eyes, and I think it's important for the world to be reminded that we in the queer community were all children at one point."

He continued: "We forget that because we're always depicted as sexual or rebellious; we forget to connect on that human part."

I still have zero interest in seeing this, and the more they show the less interested I am and I'm a MCU fanboy.

The fact that it's getting bad reviews isn't helping, even with my low interest in this movie if it had received glowing reviews I might have changed my mind.

I think this be a huge flop for the MCU, their first real massive flop both commercially and critically.

They’ll just blame it on Covid if it does get poor turnout and continue the woke train.

Aldarion · Oct 29, 2021

If this does badly, the headlines will be "people are tried of superhero movies"

And Hollywood will start making woke, tranny, raceswapped versions of something else instead

Breakdown · Oct 29, 2021

I keep saying this abut trailers. They don't tell you anything just show EXPLOSIONS.

Every trailer has been watched and I know nothing. Who are they. Why are they. What are they. What is the conflict of the movie.

All IO have gotten is "We are old and powerful and sat out till now"......Ok......what does any of that mean.

Koushirou · Oct 29, 2021

Was already pretty meh on this when seeing the first trailers, but when after that, the only reason they can give to convince me to see this is "look at our diversity!"? Yeah, noping right the fuck on out of this.

Phazael · Oct 29, 2021

Same here. Guardians 3 and Spiderman 3 will probably the last Marvel movies I watch for quite a while. Maybe Thor 4, if it does not look stupidly woke.

Yes, thinking about kids when talking about gay dudes being loving and kissing.
