Eternals Is Called “One of the Worst Marvel Cinematic Universe Films” by Chloé Zhao. Chloé Zhao, the director of Eternals, reacts to claims that she directed one of the worst MCU films, telling people to watch the film when it happens to come to Disney+.
Eternals director Chloé Zhao replies to the film being dubbed one of the MCU’s worst. Eternals was the third film in Phase 4 of the MCU, after Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
The 10 Eternals, Ajak, Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, Sprite, Phastos, Makkari, Druig, Gilgamesh, and Thena, were sent to Earth to protect it from 7,000-year-old Deviant attacks.
Zhao was tasked with bringing not one, but ten new heroes to the MCU.
The protagonists were also unknown, making her job even more difficult. Unfortunately, upon its first release, the Eternals received mixed to bad reviews, prompting some to name it one of the MCU’s worst expansions.
Eternals has the lowest Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer rating of all 27 Marvel Cinematic Universe films, yet a 78 percent Viewer Score. Some have begun to question if Eternals is truly as bad as everyone believes.
What More Chloé Zhao Shared About the Eternals?
NextSharkZhao is well-versed on the movie’s critics, as proven by a snapshot of a Rotten Tomatoes post on her Instagram page.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the topic is whether the movie genuinely deserves to be at the bottom of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to which Zhao asks,
“Does it? the movie will be accessible on Disney+ on January 12th, along with a director’s commentary and extra features, according to the filmmaker.
To really be fair, Zhao made a concerted effort to make the movie a distinct addition to the film series while also making significant strides toward diversifying the MCU.
Having said that, the film tries to cram a lot of story threads into multiple films.
Introducing ten new heroes, as well as side characters such as Arishem, Kro, and Dane Whitman, resulted in characters who were immature.
The film’s plot holes and inconsistencies, such as Thena’s Mahd W’yry and Arishem’s interference with the Eternals, were numerous.
