I wish I was more excited for Eternals than I am.

Right? I am a Marvel guy and a Chloé Zhao fan, the cast seems good too but nothing in the previews has grabbed me at all. Hopefully the move is sneaky good.

Great Director, great cast, one of Jack Kirbys most underrated creations. I expect this movie to be good and have a feeling it might be sneaky great.

I felt similarly before Guardians of the Galaxy. Seemed like a relatively obscure and left-field choice to bring to film relative to some other options, and was worried they were reaching and it wouldn't work. Yet that's easily a Top 3 MCU film for me, so cautiously optimistic that Eternals will walk a similar path.
 
I assume this is related to the strike? Either way, I'm fine with this. It seems like the MCU is starting to prioritize quantity over quality so maybe putting some of these films off isn't such a bad idea.

I've heard people suggest Marvel is scared of competing with The Batman but I'm not so sure.

My trepidation is that when it was announced it almost had an air of "Hey guys, remember when we tried to make Inhumans a thing and failed? Well look, we're trying again, only hopefully it'll be good this time." I know Inhumans was more of a feint at building a quasi-mutant backdoor into the MCU, but the fact that they're both Kirby alien super-team properties didn't help the unfavorable mental associations.

I get the mental associations, but eternals has so much going for it that inhumans didn't. Better director, better cast, more likeable characters (Black Bolt rules, but might be one of the hardest characters to bring from page to screen imo), movie vs tv show, thanos/infinity saga tie in, and a much less crowded superhero landscape imo.

Obviously haven't seen it yet, but I wonder if it's a raised expectations thing due to who's involved.
 
Rewatched the first X-Men movie for the first time in probably over a decade and it's held up quite well imo. I think a big strength to it compared to a lot of modern superhero movies is that it feels very... genuine, if that's that's word? Like the people making the movie think this is the coolest shit and want you to think so as well. It was also kind of refreshing to see a superhero movie where the humor was used more sparingly and serious moments were allowed to happen and be treated as such. I'm still not a huge fan of the costume changes but everything else in the movie is strong enough for me to look past that. Interested to see X2 again now because to be honest I only recall bits and pieces from the first three X-Men movies since I saw them at such a young age.
