I’m a huge fan of the Eternals series by Neil Gaiman. And also an essene/gnostic. I really have no desire to see the movie, but I like your observations. It’s weird, in my real life, I’m a comic book fan, but everyone that finds that out wants to talk about comic book movies. It’s really rare that a non-animated comic book movie can “make it work.” Even most of the animated ones suck. The medium of film is so different than words and art on the page. It’s kind of unsettling to me. I think it’s because reading requires imagination, and film requires you to be still and be quiet, lol. I think that Tim Burton’s Batman, Amazon’s ‘the boys,’ X-men 2, and Kick-Ass are some good examples of the translation from comics to movies. Watchmen was pretty good, too.
