Much depth and little development
In this great new promise of Marvel Studios, starring Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington y Kumail Nanjiani among others, is shown to a new group of superheroes, called Eternals, who have secretly lived on Earth for thousands of years. They were created by very ancient entities called Celestials, they are tasked to re-unite and fight together against a new threat called the deviants. To face them they have impressive powers, but without a doubt what stands out the most about its characters is the background mythology, very deep… and unfortunately very little developed. And it is that criticism blames that a large part of the evolution of the characters remains in the air due to the limited time a tape has to develop such a number of frames.
The self-criticism of the creators of ‘Eternals’
The film is directed by Chloe Zhao, who won the Oscar for ‘Nomadland’. The script is in charge of Patrick Burleigh, Ryan Firpo, Case Firpo and Chloé Zhao. Jack Kirby was the creator of the characters, that appeared for the first time, in comics, in july 1978.
The tape's own writers, Ryan and Kaz Firpo, they talked about the feature film and referred to all the potential that its creation had. They were self-critical and gave their own vision of the product.
“I have had the great pleasure of watching the film almost ten times with an audience, and i get something new and special every time i see her. It's such a complex movie, layered and deep, and i really think she's finding her audience now. For me, one of the joys is that, as people are discovering different parts, they are falling in love with this character and they love this look, and they're taking screenshots and finding Easter eggs that I barely remember making. ".
"It is an incredibly rewarding process. Ryan and I spent about nine months in a windowless room at Marvel headquarters., and during that time, the movie is only in your head. It's just an idea. It's a conversation. And now, so that it goes out into the world, once you make the movie, It's not just opening weekend and you're done. The gift is that it is in the world forever ".
"It is like an artifact. It is a totem for our crazy imagination. If I think of all the movies that we could have made, I couldn't be happier and more proud of ‘Eternals’ because it's a reflection of me and ryan… we are very eclectic, with strange sensibilities and different lines”, affirmed the creative.
