    Default Would you watch an Eternals movie?

    I've always thought The Eternals were potentially one of Kirby's most interesting creations but they've never really gotten their due in the comics.

    However, I can see a real future for them on the big screen.

    What makes them unique is that they are not only a race of awesomely powerful superbeings but also immortals who have lived hidden among humans for thousands of years quietly intervening in human affairs to protect the world from their enemies, the Deviants.

    I can see the potential for a huge centuries-spanning sci-fi action franchise here, sort of like Highlander meets Assassin's Creed meets the X-men.

    What do you guys think?

    I would give them a movie tickets worth unless the cast/plot/director looks bad

    Could be cool, risky but id give it a shot. Though unrelated id like to see Fox try an exiles movies. LOT is already doing the same thing pretty much on CW but its the charatcers that make exiles cool plus Blink powers looked bad ass in DOFP, her and maybe Liev coming back as sabertooth could be fun. Plus ive always had a soft spot for AoA sabertooth, i dont know why but in AoA and the exiles.he always resonated with me. So see that take on sabertooth brought to the big screen would be amazing for me.

    I am not sure. This is one of those properties that could be really good or just a total trainwreck in the wrong hands.

    I'd love to see an Exiles TV show (though I'm not sure the economics would work). My one qualm is that one of the conceits of the comic series was that characters die and are replaced by new characters. TV has an aversion to that.

    Blinks powers looked cool in dofp i dont think you can do that on a tv show budget. Have blink be at the center of show with sabertooth being the Ned Stark of it. The emotional center whos death takes you off guard. Maybe fold gambit into this series aswell since his movie is.never happening. Id like thos as a HbO or showtime show but its highly doubtful it could work like you said because the economics.

    I don't really know what the Eternals are, but I'd probably buy the blueray.

    I liked the Eternals, but original? Come on. Kirby himself explored the same ground (at least) twice -- X-Men (with Stan Lee) and New Gods.

    I'd go to an Eternals movie -- if it was good.
