November 5th is the day when Marvel’s another blockbuster “Eternals” is released after the “Avengers” series.
With the appeal of the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” and the luxurious lineup composed of Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Don Lee, and Salma Hayek, the media initially judged that “Eternals” will receive more than $70 million in North America in the first weekend. Good results.
However, the prospect of “Eternals” on a global scale is not so optimistic.
In the latest news, following Russia’s setting of “Eternals” as a ban on viewing under the age of 18, many countries and regions in the Middle East have decided to ban “Eternals”.
After successive setbacks in many important markets, Marvel encountered the greatest crisis in history.
In fact, the problem with “Eternals” lies with Marvel.

The film was originally very attractive, with both a new image and a novel story.
“Eternals” tells the story of a group of superheroes from aliens who have lived secretly on Earth for thousands of years and returned to Jiangfu to deal with the oldest enemy of mankind: the evil Deviants.
The story of “Eternals” is beautiful and the characters are wonderful.
Among them appeared a gay hero, Phastos played by Brian Tyree Henry, and there was a description of his marriage with his “husband” in the film, as well as a scene of affectionate kiss.
Chloé Zhao, the female director who directed the film, refused to modify the viewing rules of various regions.
Chloé Zhao publicly stated that this was a joint decision made with Disney and Marvel.
The end of stubbornness is that “Eternals” is either turned away from many important film markets around the world, or is limited in class, and cannot get enough space for screenings.
In this regard, Disney and the film party rarely maintain a tough stance.
Angelina Jolie spoke publicly, and felt unbelievable that there were still people in this world who could not accept the beautiful depiction of love in the film.
“Anyone who feels angry, doesn’t allow it, or doesn’t appreciate it, is an ignorant.”
Not to mention whether Disney’s move was wrong or right, as far as the box office of “Eternals” is concerned, it can be determined that it is one step wrong and all losers.
Obviously full of advantages but no effect, for the sake of a plot, “Eternals” gave up many important markets.
So do you support the persistence of “Eternals”, or do you feel sorry for their stubbornness?
