But I did place it on this Marvel movie matrix to help you understand our feelings — with some input from CNN’s resident expert Brian Lowry.
If we’re talking pure abilities, Phastos was a vital cog in the Eternals machine, in addition to being a pretty wonderful dad, it seems. Bravo to Marvel for breaking down barriers with its first LGBTQ+ hero and its first deaf superhero in the lovely but undeserved Makkari.
The question that would be making me sweat if I worked at Marvel HQ is if “Eternals 2” was a movie right now, who would go see it? Was this the running start to a new phase of the MCU that Marvel needed? If you believe the lukewarm reviews, the answer is probably no.
