So when I see a new Eternals "ongoing" series being promoted, I laugh, knowing that the series won't survive past the one year mark. Case in point, their most recent series couldn't get past 12 issues, and that's even with the writers attempting to use the X-Men and Avengers to boost their sales. If they want to make MCU comics, then by all means, have a separate imprint, such as the Ultimate Universe, and go nuts. You can have your watered-down version of the characters with uglier costumes, and make whatever changes you want. But when you take a comic book that's been around for 40, 50, even 60+ years, and you fundamentally change characters (both by looks and personality) just to synergize with a movie that people will watch once and then forget about? That's a slap in the face to the fans who've been buying the comics and following the stories for decades. Stop watering down the mainstream comics to promote a movie. It's not going to gain you new revenue. It is about a three months boost according to the editor of the Marvel Collectors editions in the UK and Ireland, then the sales go back to pre-movie/show levels. Unfortunately for comic companies the more money the better even if it's a short term gain.

They disregard literal decades of character history to promote a movie or series that people won't care about a year after it comes out. It doesn't bring in new comic book readers, it just pisses off the already loyal ones. Exactly, also Marvel don't seem to care that any boost a comic will get from a MCU product is about 3 months

They're disregarding that WE are the ones that got them to the point where they could even MAKE those movies. Agatha Harkness was a silver haired old crone and you did NOT want to cross her. She doesn't need to be some younger version.
