The irony: the people who most like to trumpet that "Rotten Tomatoes doesn't matter!!!" will be the first to shout about what a "failure" this movie is because of Rotten Tomatoes.

I'm reading some JW Justice League'ish trait - The Eternals is too many characters too soon, without much there there. One review, duo writers, pointed out exactly MCU's magic recipe early on was solo films into The Avengers. The Eternals I'm reading, & obviously seeing via trailers, is a slew of new characters, presenting obviously the most macro of backstories (of life on Earth, etc) all at once.
This should've been a culminative story, not a re-launch title... diverse cast & credible director be damned.
The brightest notes seem to be that the film may one day play better in hindsight after more, smaller scale films & stories are told. X-Men mutants with shared DNA of these Deviants or whatever?
I saw a semi-troll reply to that, CBC News site, suggesting one day if the genre never stops, the ratio of superheroes to humans will just be 1:1, & what's so special about that?
Bottom line, The Eternals doesn't look or feel like an MCU title. It feels more X-Men reboot'ish.

None of the individual Eternal heroes are interesting enough to warrant a prior solo movie about any of them except maybe Druig. Not all superhero teams need solo movies. |

And "X-Men: Apocalypse" costed less, and outgrossed it.
So good.
Music to my ears.

I read that Eternals outgrossed the opening day sales of Shang Chi and that its RT audience ratiois over 80%. So, things are looking good.
