The idea of people ending up in an extreme survival situation, with no possible rescue and a deep mystery sounds great. But the family drama, the cardboard characters, the stilted lines and relationships simply ruined the show. If I hear one more lecture about family, safety and sticking together, I'll puke. If they didn't have to remind everyone about these every 10 minutes, it would have been much more palatable.
On top of this all is the convoluted, ridiculous mystery, full of lazy coincidences. It was introduced in the third episode and was crammed together so fast, it's like they knew the show wouldn't make it beyond two seasons.

Obviously filmed on cell phones, the story is ridiculous, the free use TikTok soundtrack is lame and the "special effects" are laughable. Spease making himself the leading man surrounded by beautiful women, even if this is a comedy, is nothing more than a narcissist's wet dream.
If only they had actual actors, knew how to frame a shot, could keep the camera in focus and Spease actually realized how ridiculous his frizzed out dyed hair looked, this MIGHT have been good enough for Rifftrax someday...

Of all of the lesser known Marvel teams, the entire story of the Eternals is a very poor choices for a single movie.
There are too many unknown new heroes, too much missing backstory and the stakes are far too high. There are uninspiring generic monsters, and gigantic all powerful god-like aliens (that are supposed to be long gone). There's just too much of everything for a coherent, engaging story.
The Infinity Stone Saga took a dizen films to introduce everyone, tell their stories, develop the conflict and bring it all to a head in Endgame. This film tries to do almost the same thing, including a story set over thousands of years, with much lesser superheroes and simply not enough time. The A-list and relatively unknown actors are definitely the best for these characters, but their talents are wasted with such an overly dense and expansive story. It would have worked much better as a trilogy.
What happened to much more accessible and relatable teams like Alpha Flight, Thunderbolts, Excalibur or even the Great Lakes Avengers (Squirrel Girl!)
