John Ridley Boldly Proclaims His Scrapped Marvel TV Show Was 'Eternals But Good'
We've seen what mid-2010s ABC Marvel looked like, John. You are promising a lot here!
That's a low ass bar
And what else would he say anyway? Hey that show i wanted to do but couldn't would've been so ass you wouldn't believe it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“It was a television version of The Eternals… but good,” Ridley recently told the Comic Book Club podcast of his planned ABC series.
“There was the version that [Marvel] ended up doing,” Ridley went on to add, referring to Chloé Zhao’s 2021 movie.
His body of work speaks to his talent, just as it did for Chloe Zhao ahead of her movie version.
But they all knew their scopes, even when they did lean more into the fantastical, they worked for the medium and scale they were telling their stories in, and played with that freedom even as their cinematic siblings kept giving them the cold shoulder.
This is, however, to knock the Marvel TV we were getting at the time (or a couple years later at least) that honestly is more closer to what Eternals would’ve had to do on ABC: Inhumans.
There is forever a chance, even though we’ll never see it, that an Eternals TV show could’ve been the “But Good” version.
