This week, we check out a couple of films that are perfect for the holidays and one about a courageous, real-life anti-war hero.
Marvel’s New Big Franchise Is Off to an Odd Start
‘Eternals’
Marvel’s odd choice for a new superhero franchise features woke-friendly, uniformed demigod-like characters who like to stand in triangular formations—a lot. The vague “story” has to do with ancient super-beings (the Eternals) whose goal is to keep their human flock on Earth safe from the film’s baddies, the Deviants. But they’re impeded by a “Star Trek”-like prime directive not to interfere with the lives of mere mortals.This film is indicative of Marvel’s continuing decline into political correctness instead of an adherence to lore and storytelling, but it might appeal to progressives.
