SAY THAT TO MY FACE. SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME TO MY FACE.
Seriously, I looooove the Eternals. I don't think I've made any kind of secret about that on this forum, I could gush about that movie for hours.
You're entitled to your opinion, however incorrect it may be.
I concede that I think it could have worked better as a TV series than as a film, ince it would have given more time for things to breath... but even so, I really like it. It has faults, sure, but it's ambitious, and it happens to deal with themes that are like crack to me.
That's partly why I despise it so much. It SHOULD be have been awesome.
It. Was not. It was WAY too ambitious for it's own good and it utterly squandered everything it had going for it. It's not like, it's not just... not a good movie. That's one thing. It's not a good movie, that was just such a damn disappointment. Like, Captain Marvel just isn't a good movie. But... I wasn't
expecting it to be a good movie, so it's just kind of "meh". It's fine. It exists. (On rewatches, i've determined it's less I don't like the
movie I just absolute despise
Brie Larson. Literally any other actor and that movie would move a few notches up.)
Oh right, Guardians 3, I like, Star-Lord is fantastic and one of my favourites from the MCU. The one problem I have, really, is everyone treating him punching Thanos as if it was the dumbest and most inconsistent thing he ever did.
I think you're vastly overstating how much that plays into GOTG3... it's like... one single line.
Yeah out of universe everyone is dumping on him for it, but that's what people do. In-universe? It's played off quickly as "well, that was dumb". Quill isn't depressed because he punched Thanos, he's depressed because he lost Gamora.
But when it really comes down to it, with the trilogy now completed... GOTG is
not Quill's story. It's Rocket's. Quill is the relatable lens we see the story through, but the trilogy belongs to Rocket.
