A new Marvel movie is upon us – and the drama is high! “Eternals,” the third film in Marvel’s Phase Four and 26th (!!!) overall, releases today and it’s already causing a good amount of debate between critics and fans alike. Is this another Marvel hit? Is this Marvel’s first big miss? On this episode of The Playlist Podcast, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Jeff Zhang of Strange Harbors to talk about those very questions and so much more.
“Eternals” tells the story of a group of ten immortal super-powered beings chosen by the Celestials to protect humanity throughout time. After a near-eternity of living apart, the Eternals are forced to reunite in order to battle an evil group of beings known as the Deviants and to confront their place in the world as they know it.
In the discussion, we break down what works, what doesn’t work, Marvel’s first “rotten” score on Rotten Tomatoes, and what the hell those two “game changing” post-credits scenes mean. You better believe there’s a lot to unpack here. You can listen to the full discussion below:
