Its amazing how they made shows that should have been movies, and movies that shoulda been shows 😂

honestly, with so many characters this really should have been a TV show so that I can get in my feels for a week on these characters

I agree on the whole “Eternals should’ve been a Disney+ Show” argument. As….I grew quite attached to the each character within the movie, but I do wish we can expand on their lore more. For it to work, It would need to fit in 6 episodes apparently, because they love long episodes that feel like a movie. With time and care (Which both Marvel and Disney don’t have at the moment), They could make it 8 episodes….or more.

With so many characters, making a show seems to make more sense.

Why do people keep referring to the Celestial in the ocean as a plot hole? What are the circumstances in the subsequent movies where it would have been discussed? Just because there is no mention of it doesn’t make it a plot hole. Volcanoes erupting and tornadoes flattening cities are major events, but how often do you see people talking about them in daily life?

I really like the Eternals movie and the story of them and the Celestials. I was really hoping for a 2nd eternals movie

Feige should work with Chow to cut the film into a Disney + series and they could steer into a second season. Flashbacks could be handled like LOST. They could add additional scenes to flesh out relationships or focus on individuals characters. The one season could lead to a second season and continue resolve the cliffhangers left at the end of the movie.

Completely agree, and have been saying this for a while now. They’d also have to make the Deviants more intimidating and real looking. Less like insubstantial CGI creations.

I think that you are describing the typical story of superhero origins...and like you pointed, this storytelling was used in Heroes and many other series/movies. I loved Eternals precisely because it's different. I think the performances were great, the emotional depth, the photography, action sequences, everything was amazing to me. There could've been things better of course but overall I think it is a great movie just as it is.

it’s funny cuz i just watched this movie again sunday for the 5th or 6th time and i still think it’s one of marvels best. idk why so many people hate it but im sad there will be no sequel.

Youre right enternal series would have made this so much more interesting the twist about the celestial would be the season one finale , ikaris's betrayal would be the season 2 finale ,and the emergence would be the season 3 finale we would have gotten flashback episodes , fleshed out everyones relationship drama between couples in different moments in history. I could easily see this as high budgets disney + series or even a campy , low budget cw series it has so much potential but was wasted.

I still loved these characters and i really want to see more of them 😢

100% should have been a Disney+ series.

Very true. You are correct! Developing ten lead characters in feature length is tough, and then personality for the Deviants is really non-existent in the movie.

people have been thinking ever since it came out that eternals shouldve been a tv show rather than a movie. glad ur finally making a video on why. it only took you 3 years to make

I think the biggest problem with the movie adaptation is they failed to translate the timeless nature of the Eternals and the perspective they have over time and human issues. In the Gaiman comics, Makkari is thinking in the ice for two weeks straight, meditating. Ikaris is reduced to ashes and is reborn from nothing; Ajak gives zero fucks about anything and everyone, and he even killed Sprite for the acts he commited. They really are completely different beings from us, as they have a different perspective on all subjets, which is fascinating to read. In the movie, the Eternals personality is completely . They love, hate, and envy just the same way the humans do, and are no different in that regard. Because of that, every character comes out corny and excessibly naive for beings that have been around literally more time than humanity.

"The best depiction of superspeed"?? Ralph Boner sends his regards

I agree with you. I've always felt The Eternals would have made a better limited series tv show. A lot of my friends thought the same as well. It's a shame it's too late for that now.😢

Hello. Heroes, season 1, was the BEST superhero series to date. I will die on that hill 😊
