Speaking with Empire magazine, Chloe thinks that the timing of the movie may have had an impact.
“Eternals was planned to be released soon after [2019's Avengers] Endgame, and not at a time when everyone is having an existential crisis,” she explained. “The film itself is about existential crisis, both for humanity and God. So I think we definitely felt it was coming.”
Chloe added that the film also included a lot of her own indie taste with the Marvel formula.
“In this case, we truly stepped out of the box that I think the world put us in, and met in the middle because of our shared interests. And by truly doing that, it made a lot of people uncomfortable on both sides.”
She continued, “There are also people who are more comfortable with the order of their world [being] disturbed. And then they look at our love-child and go, ‘Oh! This touches different sides of me!’ I like that.”
Eternals is streaming now on Disney+.

This year’s Academy Awards present the chance for a large number of landmark wins, from the first Sundance movie to win Best Picture to the youngest songwriting winner ever to the longest gap between wins by a composer.We’ll start our list with “CODA,” which could provide plenty of landmarks all by itself.If “CODA” wins Best Picture, it would become the first film to do so after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival. It would also be the first winner whose main cast is predominantly deaf.It would become the second film to win Best Picture without a Directors Guild nomination for its director, after “Driving Miss Daisy.”It would also become the first to ever win without Oscar nominations for either directing or film editing.And it would become the first movie with fewer than four total nominations to win Best Picture since “Grand Hotel” won with only a single nomination in 1932.If either Apple’s “CODA” or Netflix’s “The Power of the Dog” wins Best Picture, it will become the first film released by a streaming company to take that award.If Jane Campion wins the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for “The Power of the Dog,” she’ll become the first woman to win in both of the Oscar writing categories.

No matter what your thoughts are on the content of the Marvel Studios film, “Eternals,” you can’t deny that the reviews were abysmal (a rarity for a MCU film or TV show) and fans were not pleased with the end result, either (proven by the low box office). This is especially disappointing when you consider that Oscar-winning filmmaker, Chloe Zhao, was at the helm of the film, which also sported an incredible all-star cast.
