Part 9/10:
Despite Eternals’ struggles, Marvel fans remain eager for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which promises a more traditional, nostalgic experience. The Afterlife film is generating positive buzz, and viewers hope it will buck the trend of recent disappointments. However, whether it will surpass Venom's box office success remains uncertain.
As for Marvel, it faces a reckoning: return to more familiar storytelling styles, re-engage core audiences, and perhaps reconsider director choices for future projects. The risks of continuing divergent approaches are apparent, and Eternals may serve as a wake-up call for the franchise to adapt or risk further decline.
