Don't really see how Rotten Tomatoes was ever useful for "bashing" DC; most of their recent stuff has been rated "fresh," after all.Originally Posted by I’m An Agent of Chaos
So far as Eternals getting an initial mixed reception, that's disappointing, but I'm not sure what the big deal is. Studios sometimes make subpar movies (even Pixar has had a few weak stretches). It is what it is. If Eternals is indeed bad, then this experiment didn't work. It's not like Marvel Studios has anything to prove as to why they're the king of the superhero movie or anything.

Too bad, reviewsxand word of mouth are very important to the movies that people aren't familiar with. It surely helped Shang Chi, while Black Widow didn't need it as much because people knew her. Unless the word of mouth changes after release, I fear this might be the first MCU bomb.
I'll still judge it for myself.There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

This movie is definitely going to end up rotten on RT.
I guess that torpedoes the "MCU or Disney is controliing/paying/managing critics" argument.
That aside, I'm legit surprised the movie is getting reviews this poor. I guess the Zhao/MCU combination just wasn't a good one.

Maybe Zhoa wasn't the right person, or her take was the wrong one for this property. I also understand they used the Gaiman mini for the source. Maybe they should have gone back to Kirby? Originally Posted by Username taken

They've taken influence from both Gaiman and Kirby from the looks of it. Originally Posted by Kirby101

Nah, They will just ignore it. They are very good at cherrypicking for their agenda Originally Posted by Username taken

I'm sorry but the comic premise and the derived movie premise is unattractive. Bunch of midlevel metas with silly powers just mope around waiting for some old dinosaur monsters to resurface because some space 'God' told them to. Plus dressed in pseudo-Roman or Middle Ages duds. Meanwhile millions die - so let's chat about that a bit with banter.
No real connection to the existant MCU except excuses why they sat around. This idea of a 'god' is too easily thrown around in comics. It's just some character with a lot of power and an ego trip.

Just looking at the trailers I kept thinking "With the right writer she would be a great Star Trek director" Her style is very slow and thoughtful but can still be intense. Originally Posted by Username taken
