Kumail Nanjiani sagt, er sei „sehr stolz“ auf seine Leistung in Marvels „Eternals“: „Ich kann nicht entscheiden, was die Rezensenten denken werden“

Yeah whatever dude. Cash your check and keep it moving. Christian Bale went all out for Marvel slop and it didn’t change the fact that it was Marvel slop.

He made using finger guns look cool, I’m just disappointed he didn’t combine both hands for a rifle, or shotgun… 😒

I loved that movie

Eternals gets an irrational amount of hate tbh. It at least had the balls to be visually different than the formulaic way other Marvel movies have looked post-Endgame and I enjoyed most of the characters. Would’ve liked to see where their story went

He was the best part of the movie. Unbelievable that the writers had his character leave before the climax.

He got paid a lot of money to get ripped with some of the best trainers in the world. All for a movie where the only good press from it was about how hot he became. I’d be proud too.

He sucks as a real actor. Easy as that. And the movie was bad. He used to be funny but it went to his head

I totally get why he thought this movie was going to be a big deal. When it was in production, Marvel was still riding high. WandaVision had been largely well received and felt like it injected real energy back into the franchise, Loki followed as a genuine hit, and together they seemed to be mapping out the MCU’s next chapter rather than just stalling for time. On the theatrical side, Shang-Chi performed impressively during a period when the box office was still wobbling, and Black Widow, despite a lukewarm reception, made solid money. From his vantage point, there was no obvious reason to expect this project to miss. The problem, unfortunately, is that it just wasn’t very good.

A big part of that comes down to fit. Chloé Zhao was simply the wrong director for Marvel at that moment. It’s easy to see the outline of a more interesting, more singular film she might have wanted to make, but the layers of oversight above her sanded off anything that felt too distinctive. What’s left is a movie that feels less like a vision and more like a compromise. In hindsight, it also marked the early stages of Marvel’s broader downturn, when the formula stopped feeling reliable and started feeling tired. None of this is especially controversial.

What’s harder to ignore is how often he returns to the same grievance: that this movie didn’t change his life. Hearing it once makes sense; hearing it repeatedly starts to sound less like honest reflection and more like fixation. At this point, the repetition shifts the tone from understandable frustration to something closer to self-sabotage. Instead of positioning him as someone hungry for the next challenge, it makes him seem hung up on a missed opportunity. Ironically, that kind of public disappointment is far more likely to close doors to another blockbuster than open them.

I enjoyed his performance. The Bollywood parts were fun, but the movie on the whole was boring and poorly paced.
There was very little tension

I enjoyed the cast of eternals. I thought it was a good movie. I liked it better than a lot of the marvel movies

I loved Eternals. Sue me.

It was a nice break from the same old cookie cutter MCU formula.

What I’m sick of are these comedians getting ripped in like 1 year and pretending it wasn’t because of steroids. It’s fake.

May be the largest loser to super hero fatigue and marvel seemingly wanting to ignore them before and after their existence. Like, you bring up stuff from their film in the new cap film and yet can’t find a spot for. Idk. Them? Not saying it’s the best marvel film. But it’s hate is slightly overblown.

Actors performances and quality of the movie are not always related. Especially supporting roles.
