Secret Invasion is the latest MCU project to join a short list of Marvel productions with “rotten” scores on Rotten Tomatoes. It joins Eternals and Quantamania, but it’s important to note that Thor: Love and Thunder barely squeaked by with a critics’ consensus of 63%; the cutoff for “fresh” is 60%.
While Secret Invasion has arguably earned its deplorable 56% score, as it is overwrought with exposition and endless talking, Eternals enthusiasts argue that the Chloé Zhao film is a misunderstood and underappreciated treasure. Did critics simply dismiss it on behalf of its unique approach to the superhero genre? Eternals benefits from resonant themes, beautiful on-location cinematography, and gripping characterizations. However, it garnered a shockingly-low 47% critics’ consensus (despite the 77% approval rating from audiences). Here’s what folks on Twitter have to say.
‘Eternals’ is far superior to its low-rated siblings
eternals being here really doesn’t sit right with me.. https://t.co/PePp2tdy84

ETERNALS is Top3 MCU with the strongest direction & by far the most impressive cast.
If only the script had been tighter, it could have been a genre masterpiece.
It is still a solid film.
That 47% is ridiculous.
Considering all MCU scores, it deserved at least 75+.
At least. https://t.co/aoWiA4qO8Q pic.twitter.com/iW4zMBwMRv

Do we see spot a misogynistic trend?
Do you guys ever think about how the hate for Eternals is only white adult men complaining because their one male character they thought was gonna be the villain but wasn't and they got mad because he got his ass handed to him by badass women??? pic.twitter.com/Z7VjdyevzO

It was different…that doesn’t automatically make it bad
Eternals deserved better, beautifully showcased themes relating to evolution, motherhood and free will. Not all MCU films need to have guns and explosions to be considered good, just a good story. pic.twitter.com/CNkOJlTSYs

The thing is, The Eternals really shouldn’t be on this list. I will always stand by it as being a good film. Is it a little long? Yes. Is it a little more focused on emotion than action? Yes. Did it oversimplify elements for the movie audience? Yes. But it’s actually really good https://t.co/7A6JV1cG8b
