10 Times The MCU Gave Fans EXACTLY What They Wanted (And They Hated It)

It is said that you can please some of the people all the time, all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. Even Marvel Studios isn’t free of the apparent truth of this, and Eternals is a prime example.

After the 23 movies of the Infinity Saga, some fans felt that the MCU relied too heavily on a certain formula in their movies. This was where Eternals promised to be different. Chloé Zhao was brought in to direct the cosmic giants in what should have been a winning combination.

However, you then found those same people claiming that the MCU was too formulaic complaining that Eternals was so different that it didn’t feel like a Marvel movie anymore. They had been asking for different for so long, yet when different came along it was ridiculed and rejected.

People were excited to see an ensemble cast, an academy award-winning director, and a relatively obscure cast of characters with a loyal if small fanbase, but since its release Eternals has been a consensus pick as one of the least popular MCU movies in recent memory.
