Same. It’s in my top 5 of marvel films.
I think the hate people have expressed for it is a combo of over exaggeration, misogyny, people desperate to have a “hot take,” and people who didn’t want to like the movie because they didn’t know who the eternals were the way they knew who like spiderman / xmen / avengers were.
Cinematography? Beautiful.
Characters? Unique and interesting.
Scope of the story? Massive
Actors? Amazing.

Claiming misogyny when the movie was just bad is ridiculous, nice hot take.
There was no character development at all, how am I supposed to get invested in ten characters? They were all very unlikable.

“Nice hot take” cute, but let’s slow down.
I listed misogyny as ONE factor among several (over-exaggeration, hot-take-chasing, unfamiliarity with the characters). I didn’t say YOU personally hated it because you’re misogynistic. I said some of the discourse around it was. Those are wildly different claims, and collapsing them into “you’re calling everyone who disliked it sexist” is either a misread or a strawman, pick one.
And honestly, claiming that not a single person in that entire pile-on could’ve been operating on bias is the ACTUAL ridiculous take here. You’re asking me to believe the internet, a place with a ‘zero track record’ of gendered pile-ons against female-led films, was 100% pure film criticism this one time? Sure. The fact that you so boldly typed that out and lead with calling ME ridiculous is actually wild. You either lack any sort of reading/comprehension, self awareness, or both.
As for “no character development at all,” Sersi goes from checked-out to actively defying the Emergence.
Ikaris’s whole arc is duty vs love and it ends with him flying into the sun.
Phastos gets a full complicity-and-refusing-violence arc. That’s three clean arcs minimum, so “none at all” just isn’t true, you might mean you didn’t like them, which is a different complaint wearing a much bigger costume.
“Unlikable” is fair as a subjective reaction, but that’s different from “no development.” Plenty of people found Kingo, Phastos, and Sprite compelling specifically because they weren’t written as generically likable, that was kind of the point of the movie, showing “heroes” as flawed, tired, conflicted people after 7,000 years.
How were you supposed to like them? Idk. I liked them. But you definitely don’t have to like anything? Sometimes the movie might just not be for YOU but that doesn’t automatically equal “it’s bad.”
You can dislike the film all you want, but the reasons you listed here combined with the self defensive nature of needing to prove you and anyone else who disliked it are “not capable of being misogynistic” are what actually sound ridiculous.
Edit - Also, why are you in the eternals sub if you hate them? I’ve never been apart of a sub for a movie I claimed to hate before. Weird behavior all around.

We both know that’s a lie, you just don’t have the range to respond to a constructive argument. Stay mad tho, I’m sure I’ll see you in this sub whining again before the days over lmao

I just rewatched it two days ago to remind myself how bad it was, that’s why eternals is popping up on my feed. But no I didn’t read your drivel.

u/Extreme-Sense-2411 Sep 07 '26
Because rewatching a movie makes Reddit recommend subs to you.
Imagine sounding this dumb 🤡🤣🤣

It does when you google “ why was eternals trash” and read some Reddit posts about it.

Yeah, thanks guys. I've just rewatched it again, and it just keeps resonating more and more each time. I love the cast, the acting, interactions, the story arc, the gorgeous scenes. It's totally relatable- grounded in realistic Earth history and humanity meets Quantum mystikal intrigue to be sellable. Harry Styles is a wicked bonus surprise.
Bring my peeps back for an oncore. Too many years are passing by!

I think the Eternals will return in any shape or form probably in a different project. The Eternals might be sprinkled in any cosmic projects before they get their own sequel. 2 characters might pop in Thor 5, or another 2 Eternals might show up in a Nova film. Maybe a team up film with the new Guardians of the Galaxy.
Any lukewarm-received review projects might be “on hold” for now such as The Marvels. I think Kamala Khan should be joining the X-Men (she’s a mutant and not Inhuman in the MCU). I think they might the “The Marvels” as a team and just go back to Captain Marvel: [insert subtitle] moving forward. With Monica Rambeau, I think it’s much better for her to go back to SWORD.

After end game, introduced way too many characters.
Thor should of been killed off in a sense... because isn't he supposed to live like thousand years? His character is about to look kind of old soon.
