Would the Eternals have been more popular if Marvel Studios had stuck closer to Jack Kirby’s original designs and characterizations?
Yes.Any other dumb questions?
>>151777083No, because normies hate the Silver Age storytelling style.>inb4 it's ackshually Bronze AgeEternals has a lot more in common with Silver Age. Regardless, just because their attempt to normify it failed doesn't mean the original source material is palatable to normies. Eternals would have been more popular if they made them into le badass ironic quirky quipsters XD like James Gunn or Taika Waititi characters.
>>151777099You didn't have to be so mean about it :(
>>151777083I think it’s best chance at being something people gave a shit about would have been to stick to Kirby exactly for once, come what may, and sell it as a bold and crazy experiment.
>>151777083>200 million dollar movie>CGI weirdly small faces onto everybodyI'm not going to say it wouldn't be funny for the first five minutes, but I don't think it would make me watch Angelina Jolie for six minutes, put it like that
>>151777083Why did the Eternals movie fail? I keep hearing it sucked but like nothing specific…I haven’t seen it and honestly checked out of the MCU after Age of Ultron but Chloe Zhao is allegedly a good film maker so I’m just kinda curious
>>151777250Is this trolling? Silver age style is the absolute default a normgroid will visualize if asked to imagine a comic
>>151777083If they had kept some personalities from their comic counterparts really hurt the film. Making Ikarus an antagonist is one of them. Making Sersi (who can be already) unsure of herself compared to her more confident comic counterpart. Really didn't help.
>>151777083NoJack was a great illustrator but a shit writer who obsessed over teams of no less than ten people and could not accept his readers didn't have the attention span for that shitHis characters spoke ridiculous dialogueHis cosmic aesthetics were amazing and not worthy of attempting to bring to live action There is no fixing what he didn't do well
>>151777083No because the Eternals were never popular.
