      Not to mention the massive hole beneath the Celestial, leading directly to the earth's core, which is surrounded by super heated metal. So not only would the sea levels rise as the Celestial emerges, they would then plummet as the sea pours into the hole and then there's an immense steam explosion at the earths core.

    Ok, Fringy is just wrong about the Aztecs. They weren’t destroyed because the Spanish wanted to “extract as much value” as they could. The Aztecs were destroyed because all their neighbors had gotten fed up with constantly being raided and subjected by the Aztecs for generations and so when the Spanish showed up they joined in with them.
    People just tend to ignore that the army that conquered the Aztec capital was comprised overwhelmingly of Mesoamerican, not Spaniards.

      RDJ's a great actor. He could probably be a great Doctor Doom..... but he's a recycled idea because Marvel has no fucking idea what else to do. He's already Tony Stark, and now you're asking the audience to believe he's also Doctor Doom, and that this is somehow one continuous story... because he was popular as Iron Man and you have literally nothing fucking left now that you've pushed all the original characters to the wayside in favor of your new diversity hires.... jesus christ, does anyone left at Marvel have a working brain? They're even recycling the directors who started the downward spiral in the first place.

      Yeah they didn't put ANY fucking thought into any facet of this movie.
      In the comics, before they also changed the comics to match this shitty movie, yes they did that, the Eternals were just a race of people. They were basically a Celestial's high school project, they all had the same basic power set, and individuals decided to specialize in different ways. So an Eternal that really likes running would develop super speed, and the Eternal that really likes weight lifting has the POTENTIAL to be super fast, but he would rather develop his muscles so he's super strong. They weren't GIVEN a bunch of random powers, they all have the same baseline, and then they decided based on their interests what to do from there.
      Also they were a whole race, not 10. Thanos was one of them, and he looks different because he has a Deviant gene. If you'd just kept this part of the lore the same, you could literally explain why the Eternals aren't around by saying they were hiding from Thanos, cause they're horrified of the Mad Titan deciding they're a threat to his plans and they need to be taken care of. That's why they never appear prior to Endgame even though the world was in danger. It'd make sense, because other Eternals would logically be able to at least stand up to Thanos. He might be especially strong, but 10 of them against one of him, you could see how he might see that as a problem he can't afford to have around, so he best just crush them all quickly. Makes fucking sense, doesn't fuck with the established lore if they're actively hiding.
      You could also just make them so they don't ACTUALLY care about Earth in particular, this is just where they're hiding out, and they've developed lives on this planet so they would prefer it not explode, BUUUUUUT if for example Ultron had won and zeroed the whole planet, they'd just go "Well shit. Alright let's get outta here, find somewhere else." Cause they're IMMORTAL, so even if they have families, those families would die anyway, and now or 80 years from now is barely a difference to their endless lives. Cause if the planet explodes, they just leave, but if THANOS finds them, they DIE. And DEATH to an Eternal is unfathomably terrifying. You should also axe the stupid Celestial popping out of Earth thing, or if you wanna keep it, just don't make it BREACH EARTH. Fuck's sake, Steven Universe did this same concept MUCH better! If they wanna make a big show of the Celestial, go INTO the planet and stop the Celestial Seed from sprouting from the inside. That'd be plenty big screen epicness worthy.
      It's almost like the creators of this movie had NO experience writing, just went with the first idea that popped up, and didn't even consider the rest of the continuity of the MCU.
      Oh right, that's exactly what happened.

    The funniest part to me about the movie and Marvel's utter failure to explain why the Eternals didn't try to stop Thanos when it is entirely in their motivation to do so, is that all they had to say was that THEY DID. They could've said they've been fighting Thanos all along, as he was a rogue Eternal that decided wiping out half the population would save the other half from getting used as Celestial fuel. Then you can have gnarly flashbacks to their wars with Thanos' forces and their ultimate failure to stop him shortly before the events of Infinity War, which itself would explain what Thanos has been doing all this time since he knew there were multiple stones on earth but took his sweet time getting there. This problem couldve been a solution if anyone took 5 minutes to think about it.

    In the comics, all Eternals have Ikaris' powers has far as flying, strenght, energy projection. And they also have their invididual powers. It's a sort of a life energy they have(I don't remember if it's linked to Earth or not, probably is) and they manipulate that energy for a variety of things: flying, resistance, mental projection, strengh, telepathy, transmutation and along the way some of them use the energy to explore certain elements of them better than others. Like Cersei is better at transmutation, Gilgamesh at strength, Makkari at speed, etc....

    The eternals as a concept ironically really should have been a show. Imagine an 8 episode show featuring 2 eternals at a time with each episode being a different time period and the express purpose of the episode to grow and develop the eternal's character and humanity. And almost like a greek tragic fable there is some somber take away the immortal gods here learn about humanity that either endears them to humans or jades them to humans. The first and last few episodes will be the only time they get together with the first episode showing the eternals being largely indifferent from each other very surface level differences then by the end of the season they will have demonstrated their growth and unique perspectives because of the journey they took. And the final boss not being a celestial but the deviant mutant guy...un cell i think his name? Yeah mr perfect cell. He should be a looming threat that is a constant background in the season trying to stay hidden until he gains enough power to absorb 17 and 18 er i mean the eternals then we have all the cast members fight him avenging those he absorbed and ikros instead of just flying into the sub for no reason does it to destroy cell before passing on to spend his days in otherworld with king kai.

When Phastos confronts Ikaris late 3rd act he says “I’ve been wanting to clip your wings for a long time” - this was never established in any way obvious to the audience besides this rallying cry.

It's like the D-Reaper from Digimon Tamers, trying to kill humans while following its programming to the letter. Then on the other hand, if it becomes self aware, that's its own host of problems.
    Best faith is that if you give a robot free will, it might rebel, but could be talked down, but without it, if it decides that to act antithetical to your plans is the logical course of action, it cannot be convinced otherwise.

Dont say it outright, just show us or mention some things that are different from the MCU we knew at the time, enough to make sure we know it wasnt a mistake. That would fix the continuacy of the goddamn celestial coming out of the Earth, and all the other times they didnt interfere in the MCU. Then you could even end with the Earth getting blown up, the final clue this isnt the main universe. And then have some of them somehow come to the regular MCU, where you cant continue the lore, true, but you can continue the characters. And make sure they later mention theres no seed on main Earth for some reason.

      Yes. I think it's actually the most solid D+ show. It has it's issues, but it's overall better than the others. At least I feel like the main characters emerged intact and likable.

    I did not watch this film because it looked dumb. Glad to see my instincts are in perfect working order.

    Apparantly the celestial thing will come up in Cap 4 film. Idk what or how, but it'll probably be shit.

      Sam is gonna fly up and punch the Celestial because he's obviously not at all weaker than Steve was

    So, did Ego know that Earth was already seeded when *he* seeded Earth with his own pseudo-Celestial seed? Did he do it out of spite, did he do it to parasitize the Celestial seed, or did the writers of The Eternals erroneously think their movie would somehow be remembered but Guardians 2 wouldn't be?

    What made Earth different was the Avengers working so hard to bring back half of life in the universe from the snap. It's still stupid, and doesn't justify Earth vs. a Celestial who will bring forth trillions of lives.
