    They’ve lost their appeal to me. I think the last Marvel movie I saw was The Eternals which I actually liked but I haven’t seen the new ant man or guardians movie. I also like the She-Hulk show. For some reason I feel like I relate to Jennifer Walters more than I should.

      The general reaction to the eternals turned me off Marvel. I was down for the tone shift, the slightly more mythical aspect as well as cosmic all through a more subtle family style drama.

      Even if it wasn’t for you, it was a different tone and a different kind of story, made well. And the mainstream reaction was something like “that’s not Marvel” or “that’s boring, what’s the point”, all while beginning to bemoan Marvel fatigue and repetitiveness else where. I realised Marvel was somewhat destined to be monotone and shallow, as it has been probably from the start TBH.

      I don’t pay to much attention to the franchise and it’s fans, but I suspect retrospectives in the future won’t be glowing.
