> “I was like, ‘Oh, this is going to be my job for the next 10 years,’” Nanjiani continued. “I signed on for six movies. I signed on for a video game. I signed on for a theme park ride. They make you sign up for all this stuff. And you’re like, ‘This is the next 10 years of my life, so I’ll be doing Marvel movies every year and, in between, I’ll do my own little things, whatever I want to do.’ And then none of that happened.”
> “Eternals” released in November 2021 and was the worst-reviewed Marvel Cinematic Universe entry up to that point. It grossed $402 million globally, which was seen as a theatrical disappointment for a $200 million-budgeted franchise entry from a blockbuster banner like Marvel Studios. Since then, Nanjiani’s Kingo and his fellow Eternals heroes haven’t featured in another another Marvel project.
This movie was over hated. I would love to see more from the eternals
>“For me, what really hit me was just realizing that too much of my self-esteem is tied up in other people’s reaction to my work,” Nanjiani reflected before jokingly adding, “Also, other people have way bigger problems than this!”
How do you not though? It’s easy to say we don’t care what people think but when major media outlets say you suck it has to hurt.
Movie was awful!!
For me, very forgettable. Gun to my head, couldn’t tell you one eternal’s name. Ymmv
I remember the press surrounding it felt like they were really pushing the love story angle and saying marvel has never done love stories? And it really turned me off lol. I feel like I should watch it now since people have told me it’s not really just a romance film.
I enjoyed it. Though it think it would’ve fared better as a Disney+ series
For me eternal wasn’t bad it just didn’t feel like a “marvel big action summer blockbuster movie.”
the marvel universe would benefit from more projects that weren’t shot the exact same way. Black widow would have been better if it were shot like a bond / spy thriller.”
the overarching premise of eternal was 🤷🏻 to me. Like why didn’t these guys help with thanos, why didn’t the government talk more about the big space aliens in the core of the planet, etc. if these guys are so much more powerful than everybody why aren’t they on anybody’s radar ever?
It feels sometimes like the entire marvel universe needs a connective tissue show, where somebody is cleaning up after a movie or talking about continuity. Just have a show staring Randall Park that just lightly catches people up on the 12 shows and movies they didn’t watch, with guest appearances from the movies. 🤷🏻
He took all those steroids and didn’t even get the shirtless scene that every other male MCU hero gets.
They definitely invite him back for doomsday ….
My only experience with this man has been guest parts in offputting (to my personal taste) projects like the Twilight Zone reboot and Kenobi. He was featured in the tease for the next Naughty Dog video game and it dampened my excitement for a reveal I was already mixed on.
Can’t say it’s even his fault that I’ve started associating him with media I don’t like. It’s a weird parasocial dynamic that I’ve observed with a person who I otherwise give no thought to. Does any one else get this with celebrities?
At least he got in ripped shape and gets to understand that whole thing. That’s a nice thing to learn about. Gilfoyle is a nerd in Spider-Man movies.
