Agreed. I haven't been on this channel in forever. And I have been really looking forward to The Eternals. Who better than Variant to cover The history of the Eternals?
Fun fact: the terms eternals and deviants doesn’t just apply to the ones from earth, but all other races, the biggest examples are the deviant skrulls aka the ones we are familiar with and the eternal Kree aka the ones we are also familiar with.
The latest Eternals series refers to the Eternals as cosmic angels and the Deviants as cosmic demons as the Celestials are considered the God's to both races.
Deviants seem to be chaotic in terms of power and abilities and since Thanos is a deviant hybrid maybe the MCU version doesnt have heightened healing? He could take an axe hit to the chest, though
@@jamesw5287 hes not a hybrid, hes a full blooded eternal but he has a deviant genetic mutation which alterd his appearance. But the mcu could change this
2:50 According to my research, Zuras is also the father of Thena (Angelina Jolie’s character) and the brother of A’Lars, the father of Thanos. I just wanted to provide more context for him.
@@madambutterfly1997 Your question was "why does he get subpar respect?" The answer is because he submitted subpar work. It is easy to lionize those who came before and to lose sight of who they were in their moment.
That totally means that Ikaris will come back bcz no matter what eternals storyline it is Ikaris is a major part of it. I really hope he comes sooner and be the hero he is in the comics
Been looking forward to this video for a VERY long time. I had literally NEVER heard of the Eternals before the film trailer came out, so I had absolutely ZERO idea who they were.
i don’t know much about marvel but the very basics but every time i’m lost in the super sauce. I come to this channel and learn about the other badass heroes and villains. Love this channel
@@Darkness-ie2yl the movie is great but it's not for everyone. Some people weren't going to receive it and some have. The film clicked for me after Sersi and Arishem and it made way more sense and after that and the final battle I knew I loved the movie. People having different opinions from you is fine. It's pretty much a entirely different movie that can't be compared to Captain Marvel apart from both films having characters with powers. The films are like night and day.
@@BrandonGavin_EDC your being a comic purist and arguing about how a dead man would feel about his adaptation being different from the movies... as if jack kirby is the only person to make an eternals comic. Like Aris said she’s probably pulling from the 2016 adaptation not Jack’s. Quit speaking on the dead its wrong period.
Great primer for getting ready for the movie. But I would love to know more about their giant triangular shaped ship/base. It looks pretty epic. Also, previews have already mentioned a comparison between Ikaris and Superman. Was he designed on purpose to be like Superman in the Marvel Universe, especially with his eye beams?
There's millions of Superman copies in the Marvel Universe, with Ikaris, Hyperion and Sentry being at the forefront of my head. Hyperion specially, since the Squadron Supreme was created with the purpose of being Marvel's Justice League
Why? Searching Eternals on Any search engine gives no hype. It's just pages of websites regurgitating the Gay kiss scene. If your movie is highlighted over just a kiss scene..... How fucking good can it actually be?
@@quentinfogger5755 it is hard for me to be objective since my country just lifted travel/movie going restrictions. So for me any new movie on the cinema is a Godsend. It is not bad if that helps.
@@quentinfogger5755 I'd say watch it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and how it subverted expectations (at least mine.) I also loved the characters and their personalities. All written differently and are unique. Alongside that, if you love marvel cosmology, you'll love the stepping stones laid out in this movie. But in saying that, this movie is one made to lay out the foundations for further exploration
The Eternals doesnt look apealing based off the countless trailers and teasers Marvel posts on youtube but Variant always has me hyped based off the original source. Shang Chi was dope...lets hope this one is too.
Loved the movie!! I see why people said it was slow (ironic since it spans thousands of years haha) but it was very interesting and absolutely nuts! The implications this has on MCU canon is huge, like almost bigger than Doctor Strange confirming wizards are real huge. Also, not a criticism since he looks cool, but God looks like a huge bionicle lmao Edit: the hate was super overblown, especially people saying the VFX are bad? Huh? If you didn't like the movie that's fine, subjective tastes, but the effects were gorgeous! Organic magic is sick as hell
That honestly makes so much more sense because at the end of it, I had MORE questions about what was going to happen next. Even at almost 3hrs, it felt like they crammed in so much and didn’t fully flesh out the “story”
You should do a Origion video on morbious the living vampire and a history video because the movie will come out in January so you you will get a lot of views
Hey, Arris when you were listing off the New Gods and you said the Allfather, did you mean the Highfather, because I'm pretty sure that there isn't a New God called the Allfather.
With each Eternal having their own power like Makkari has hyper speed and Gilgamesh has super strength, which eternal has the best powers and abilities?
I think its Ikaris. He has one of everything.. He's not the best at each ability but is second best and he has lots of skills like the laser eye, flying, strength, speed etc.. but not sure tho. There's 100 eternals from Earth. There are also other Eternals that are made in other planets.
I remember the Eternals as being the race that lived on Saturn’s moon of Titan as humans do Earth, and that simply put, the deviants were Eternals with birth defects, example being Thanos. Them working for The Celestials I don’t think has ever changed, though
MCU of old: let's make movies about single chars and then bring them together for an epic showdown. Dc: let's stuff as many characters in a single film as we can. mcu post endgame : let's stuff as many characters in a single film as we can. Also make sure to check every inclusivity points.
Saw it with my gf at Dolby cinema. The whole theatre was lit up. It was badass for me. Action was great, the visuals were gorgeous, comedy had me chuckling unexpectedly, and I loved the part where some eternals were going through actual character development where they deal with their core beliefs, something rarely seen in MCU. This felt like watching anime and that fact that they had these characters question their own beliefs and grow more than who they were is worth alot to me.
True but it was written in 1968, the book of Enoch has been around for thousands of years or maybe hundreds?? The chariots of the gods, involves hypothesis that the technologies and religions, of many civilisations were given to them by ancient astronauts, who were welcomed as gods. The book of Enoch doesn’t at fail to mention, fallen angels that shared forbidden knowledge with man kind, who they worshipped as gods and were punished for the secrets they unveiled unto us.
What is up with Eternals like Ajax, Makkari and Sprite being females in the MCU instead of being males just like their comic book counterparts? Also why is Kingo an indian in the MCU unlike his comic book counterpart who was a Japanese Samurai?
@@BrandonGavin_EDC inclusiveness is bs? You do know these are fake characters. And their origin looks lame asf. I’m glad they changed to to look more like everybody on earth
The story sounds a little like the book of Enoch and the fallen angels the movie took some of the stories from the Bible and the book of Enoch and twisted them around
By the end of this month in 4 weeks The Eternals at 6 theatres with RED NOTICE at one theatre will totally flip number of theatres showings and profits. Red Notice is the new Raiders Lost Ark and Mummy.
I read The Eternals growing up right along with all the other Marvel titles and I'll check the movie out, but the actor playing Icarus looks like A typical today guy. Nothing dynamic about him.
Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with Kurt Conners the Lizard, Electro, Rhino, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Morbius, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer and Loxias_Crown AKA Hunger?

The eternals are the version of annunnaki
And Thanos is both

Marvel Comics: Eternals have full control over their molecules.

Deviants seem to be chaotic in terms of power and abilities and since Thanos is a deviant hybrid maybe the MCU version doesnt have heightened healing? He could take an axe hit to the chest, though
He didn't die from an Axe.

8/10 for me.
