When Blade releases as part of the MCU's Phase 5, its rumored setting can help to gloss over Marvel Studios' previous mistakes from Eternals. In the wake of Avengers: Endgame and the dramatic end of the Infinity Saga, Phase 4 became one of the MCU's most divisive eras, including projects such as Thor: Love & Thunder, Black Widow, and Eternals, which all received mixed responses from audiences. Eternals was perhaps Phase 4's most controversial installment, but the problems presented in Chloé Zhao's Marvel debut can be fixed in future projects, particularly those that delve deeper into the history of the MCU.
