I honestly never cared for the Eternals the movie might change that and the few issues I read of their current series is pretty good. But among these 3 races I’d drop them.
The concepts are ok but most characters from either group are all kinds of terrible. They really have just a few good characters here and there (Blackbolt for the inhumans, Metron for the New Gods, Tutinax from the Eternals 😖hifty: )
Fortunately for the New Gods the Mr. Miracle series was pretty dope while none of the other groups has a single good book.
New Gods aren't shitty, they're just poorly written. Same as John Constantine being way ooc in 90% of appearances, that is no fault of the character.
Read Kirby's older work like Mr. Miracle. And Walter Simonson's Orion for a proper Darkseid:

Read the preview pages. Tell me you don't wish this was Darkseid all the time.

I honestly enjoyed Medusa in A-Force her interaction with the other heroines was great to me. Her time as sole Queen was also awesome and I’m someone who struggled to get behind the character due to her wacky powers lol.
I enjoyed a lot the NuInhumans as well. Inferno, Grid, Ms Marvel
Black Bolt hands down alone carries the franchise above the New Gods and Eternals for me, and a large reason I want a film or live action media adaption for the Inhumans is it’s kind of impossible to not include them for a Black Bolt origin story, which more than likely would be an Inhumans film.
I’m just sad we probably won’t ever get to see a Black Bolt vs Thanos fight in the same vein as Infinity. Infinity by Jonathan Hickman is what got me invested in the character.

I'm sure we could mention a standout arc or character, but having 90% shit stories kinda indicates the character and their story is shit, no?
Especially when the "good" portrayal is the character essentially not acting like themselves.
Spartan 3.0 is a good example. Incredible at his peak, but he was essentially a new character. He was given a much more robust inner world during his best years. Before that, and after if we're being honest, he was completely generic and forgettable.
