Eternals is out in theaters, and it's definitely a Marvel movie you should see despite the unnecessary controversies that somewhat plagued the release. It's not a perfect superhero movie, but there's probably no such thing. But it's an MCU adventure, unlike anything we've seen so far. It's the origin story of no fewer than ten superheroes that we have to get used to in one movie, rather than a series of films building up to this massive threat they have to deal with. Then again, there's no way to have the heroes introduced in other movies because these aren't your average Avengers. They're immortal beings capable of wielding cosmic energy beyond what most Avengers can do. Yet they've never been involved in defending humans the way the Avengers did. So there's no natural way to build the Eternals franchise within the MCU by introducing a smaller number of heroes at a time.
Eternals is also a big movie for representation, something that Disney has only started embracing. There's been plenty of pushback for that, including censorship in some international markets. But Marvel is hopefully just getting started, given that the X-Men are yet to arrive. And Eternals brings over the vision of an Oscar-winning director, who will hopefully work on other MCU projects down the line.
What's great about the movie is the way it complicates Marvel's multiverse. Eternals is Marvel's 26th MCU movie, but it changes everything. Before I get into this spoiler-y review of the concepts Eternals brings to the table, I'll warn you that multiple spoilers are inbound. It's not just from Eternals, but also Avengers: Endgame, Loki, and What If…?. You'll want to see all these MCU titles, preferably in chronological order, before moving to what follows below.
