Got THE ETERNALS on and… it’s not too bad, really. If you’re into people looking on in the middle of various Kirbyesque landscapes. It’s kind of goofy and pretty weird and I liked it more than I expected.
But it’s eating up the rest of the night. So I’m taking a break for the rest of it.
Eternals wasn’t bad, per se. Pacing was off in spots, and they played Kingo as a joke more than they should have to set him up as a heroic type …
The main problem is the utter lack of connections to the other Marvel material, with a strong second of too much backstory crammed into too short a runtime.
Doing an “Indian Black Panther” backstory thing with Kingo’s character, as a stand-alone project would have split the backstory loading in half, and left more time for relatable scenes.
Alas.
