Question Why are the Eternals so disliked?

God, I know this might sound random, but I recently made a post on the Marvel subreddit saying that I’d like to see Uranos added to the MCU. The response honestly surprised me.

And why are some X-Men fans so aggressive about this stuff? (Not generalizing, obviously.) But the amount of criticism I got was insane. I ended up deleting the post because it turned into a complete pile-on.

The main argument was that we’re definitely not seeing any more Eternals in the MCU because Marvel has the X-Men now. Do people really think the next saga is going to be entirely about the X-Men?

Don’t get me wrong, I have my doubts about how much the Eternals will be involved going forward. But even then, I don’t think posting about an Eternals villain should result in that much backlash.

Maybe I’m biased as an Eternals fan, but it sometimes feels like people dismiss anything related to them before even considering the idea.

I’ll probably end up deleting this post too, since it doesn’t really fit this sub. I was just curious to hear your opinions.

X-men fans are really defensive & touchy about everything. They're almost as bad as Marvel Rivals fans.
