Part 2/11:
Fast Company recently published an article pondering whether the Marvel brand has overstayed its welcome — a stark contrast from just a few years ago when Marvel movies, regardless of critical reception, were almost universally defended and celebrated. Now, the magazine suggests audiences are growing tired, with Eternals underperforming at the box office and critics giving it a lukewarm reception.
Similarly, Inverse, known for its progressive stance on Hollywood diversity, has articulated that criticism of Eternals—even from a female director or minority voices—is valid and shouldn’t be dismissed as sexism or racism. The publication emphasizes that Eternals' poor critical scores and declining audience ratings indicate a broader disillusionment, regardless of social progressivism.
