So there’s going to be an ETERNALS 2! How fascinating.

At least, Patton Oswalt thinks so. And if you can’t believe an almost-as-funny-as-he-thinks-he-is TV/film comedian, who can you trust? …Okay, that was unkind of me*.

Moving on: it’s probably not too surprising that ETERNALS is getting a sequel. Its numbers were kind of crap for a MCU flick, but it was half a movie and half a streaming event. Heck, even I watched it on Disney+, and I usually go to MCU movies as early as I can.

But I didn’t mind ETERNALS, either. It was weird, but Jack Kirby comics are inherently weird. Will I go see a sequel if it comes out in theaters exclusively? …Yeah, probably. I like movies. I like going to movies: it’s dark, quiet, and I can go have a beer beforehand and know it’ll wear off before I have to go home.

And that’s Marvel’s target demographic, right there. Sorry, folks. I yam what I yam.

  1. I haven’t even had the desire to drunk-watch “Eternals” after what I heard about it from Critical Drinker and others. (Mind you, I do disagree with them on occasion) Also after watching Thor Love and Thunder, which was not bad at all but also not as great as I had hoped.
    I shall simply agree to disagree with your opinion, which is as rare as ambrosia in these times.

  2. Eternals tried to bank on star power in an era where is no longer reliable, with some actors from a show that destroyed it’s good will (and their bankability) before the movie was released but after it was planned and cast. the structural issue was there were *too* many main characters thus none were served well in the story.

  4. The thing about this that amused me was this actual headline I saw yesterday- “MCU fans fear for Patton Oswalt’s safety after leaking ‘Eternals 2’ news.”

    Fears for his safety. Like Kevin Feige is going to send kneebreakers to Oswalt’s house or something.
