I've fully accepted that I'm a MCU fanboy as I kinda liked Eternals. It's an interesting concept if not a bit too overbaked. My biggest issue is that the film was way too ambitious. The story is much better suited to a Marvel/Disney+ series release, but the spectacle of it would have been wasted on a smaller screen. Tough situation to be in and they did the best they could, but introducing 10 characters (11 if you include Whitman) with a small backstory didn't leave them room to flesh out the individual heroes to the point of investment.
Maybe a 4-6 episode series followed by a big screen installment would have worked better.
