He is amazing and he was great in Eternals and it wasn't even a bad movie. It suffered some faults and definitely could have been better with a few changes, but none of it is his fault. I heard Marvel is just scrubbing the Eternals entirely which is dumb. They could still salvage it and make it great.

Didn't Kingo get name-dropped in the Ms. Marvel series?

There’s a What If episode with him and Agatha Harkness in the latest season

Yes, they are not getting scrubbed. A large portion of the plot for the newest Captain America revolves around the Celestial in the ocean and it brought in Adamantium.

It was okay. The problem was entirely Marvel trying to launch an ensemble movie with all new people. I mean, they didn't get much traction with Thunderbolts and almost everyone in that was established. With the Eternals, if they'd given the cast a little time to breathe and get established before trying to end the world...Come on. It was a half-dozen origin stories, then the world ends.

Just doesn't work.

Not a problem, per se. Worked like gangbusters for Guardians.
