Eternals Film Review: This is NOT your diversity darling

So I saw Marvel’s Eternals yesterday. It’s a week late, but I honestly didn’t think I would see it at all considering I just haven’t been as on top of Marvel products lately, nor have they impressed me much. But a friend wanted to see it for her birthday, and I figured that, worst case scenario, I’d at least get to enjoy some nachos in the movie theater’s comfy new recliners while a mediocre movie played in the background.

I was wrong, in the worst possible way.

I want to start this off by saying that I went in knowing that the Eternals, as a comic book group, has anti indigenous sentiment in it, and by this point I’ve seen all the “Marvel made a gay black man responsible for Hiroshima” memes. I went in thinking I knew the levels of racist it would be, and tried to brace myself accordingly. I grew up a half Mexican half Salvadoran mestiza, by this point I’m used to racism against my ancestors and my people getting swept under the rug. I figured I could sit through those scenes and make it to the end of the film still pretending I had a good time. I was not, in fact, prepared for what I ended up seeing.

Marvel’s Eternals is a racist, sexist, and ableist film hiding behind “diverse casting”. Let me count the ways.

Darth Maul is just the funniest Star Wars character to me. Like. There was this one-off villain with no personality, one incredible fight scene, one of the objectively stupidest names in all of Star Wars (which, y’know, is an achievment) and one of the coolest villain designs ever put to film.

And after they’d killed him off, everyone realised what a bottomless pit of wasted potential he was, and they started putting him into everything ever, no matter how little sense it made.

#sidenote: ‘somehow maul returned’ would have been a million times funnier than your pal friendpatine

YOU’RE RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT

There's a certain kind of like, reveling in the destructive alienation of late capitalism that I see here sometimes that just feels like barely reskinned apocalypticism. Like yeah you've learned the word "Bourgeoisie" but the actual Idealogical thrust of your post is "everything will get worse forever and there is nothing to be done." Which is, at best deeply intellectually childish.
