This looks awful or is it just me?

I didn’t watched the trailer but the photo looks silly. On the other hand, t’s a comic book adaptation so I guess it’s not bad! It’s worst when they take themselves too seriously like Nolan! Lol.
A team of adults with a kid mascot kind of reminds me to those Japanese action cartoons from the 1980s!
There are rumors that Marvel has some Oscar ambitions with it because the director. We will see. But IMHO the right approach to these movies is to embrace the silliness and the melodrama. Also, they are blockbusters. They don’t need awards but the awards (*cough*Oscars*cough*) probably need them! That’s sad!

I just watched the trailer and it looks bland.

Well, I deleted the attachment (for space for others)and I can't be sure what it was. I'm almost sure it had to do with the bad promo picture and not the trailer (because there was no need to delete a youtube video link).
Apparently is bad. I'm glad Lucrecia Martel didn't accept Marvel's offer.

I haven’t read reviews but the World of Reel guy says it was really bad days ago but he thought critics wouldn’t dare to say it aloud because the director. Recently, he wrote that they actually “dared” and that it was now the worst reviewed Marvel film.
I don’t know. Maybe some filmmakers aren’t just built for these kind of popular stuff. Something similar happened to Ang Lee with Hulk decades ago. I personally didn’t thought it was that bad but a few years ago I saw a few scenes and the special effects looked awful!

Maybe this is the decline of Marvel, or people are getting tired of that formula, or people want the single superhero thing without the ensemble stuff, or maybe it’s just a bad movie?

You called it Magda.
I think the problem is less the talented filmmakers and more Feige and Disney. I absolutely do not believe filmmakers doing these films have full creative freedom. Plus their biggest downfall is their silly connected universe because nothing has a beginning middle and end. Nothing really matters.
Also their last few movies have been fairly disappointing as well. I see the cracks.

I haven’t read too much about the film so I don’t know if it’s true or not but I read a few tweets by journalists discussing why it was rude to ask Chloé Zhao if she directed herself the action sequences of the movie (that it was like asking Jane Campion if she directed herself the erotic scenes in her films. I saw it on Campion’s hashtag). It was, of course, a reference to what Lucrecia Martel said a few years ago about Marvel talks with her. Anyway, Zhao apparently said or suggested that she was totally free to do her thing and the journalists concluded that Marvel was learning from its sins and finally let filmmakers being themselves. I think that’s ironic!

I’m still interested in DSMoM for one reason only. 😉
The rest I can leave. I don’t care about all these characters anymore and I’m tired of all the fighting, flashing lights, and silly story lines that don’t really say anything meaningful or end up with anything new or different. There’s a Big Bad, hero’s under threat, punchy punchy, the hero wins. Seen it at least 25 times now. And that’s the whole MCU universe, isn’t it? How much more can they explore? The freshness is gone. But I am old and cynical now, not 25 and excited about new, big, tent pole movies.
Well, I’m kind of interested in the next Thor movie, too. I love Thor and with Taika directing it should be funny. But that’s it.

I’m not an expert on Marvel. I have barely watched their films beyond Dr Strange. Actually, I bought the Infinity War BluRay because I’m a BC fan but I haven’t watched it yet! Lol And no, I don’t have Disney Plus so I have watched 0 series. But, it seems to me that The Eternals was the less obviously connected of their films, doesn’t? All the other new characters have some pre announced link to whatever it’s the biggest Marvel plot but this one seems slightly like a stand alone thing. Maybe I’m wrong and I haven’t watched the ad where the multiverse is mentioned or something! Lol It just seems like it’s own thing with even another very dry style, not that I like the standard Marvel style which but this one looks slightly more boringly “realistic” and muted and maybe that’s why I don’t instinctively connect it with the other Marvel stuff. It doesn’t needed to look like a video game but maybe it needed more color. That’s always my problem with “serious” comic book adaptation. You cannot do a faithfully one if you forget the color! Especially, when it’s Marvel, doesn’t?
