  • @goredongoredon

    I've been reading comics off and on since the 70s when the Eternals were first introduced and I really enjoyed how you were able to weave all the different recons and subplots together into one fascinating video. There was a lot here that I didn't know such as the recon of 50s Timely hero Mercury/Hurricane and the connection between Marvel Boy, the Crusader and Quasar. Fun!

  • @jamcalx
    @jamcalx 2 роки тому +17

    I actually dislike the whole "can't reproduce with each other" thing instead them just rarely have children, as they are so long lived that they don't feel the need to have children like humans do because of aging and losing the ability.

    • @MerryMarvelite
      @MerryMarvelite  2 роки тому +14

      It's a weird thing to add at this point. I think they wanted to put forth the idea that the number of Eternals never really changes so they can't reproduce and they can't die. So there are always 100. It's a neat idea but it does mean we have to accept that they're all roughly the same age and that the familial connections between them were always symbolic, both of which were clearly not meant to be the case before.
      I don't completely hate the idea since it helps make the Eternals unique and differentiate them from the Inhumans. However, I totally understand not liking it.

    Edit: While the Eternal-Celestial story gets convoluted at times, I once again appreciate how connected the Marvel universe is. Also, that Jack Kirby art is downright beautiful.

    Excelent video. The sheer amount of research into this subject is staggering. One final note about the Eternals, I absolutely *hate* The Neil Gaiman limited edition. To me it seemed like Gaiman had barely done any research into the Eternals and come up with a half baked story that had little to do with the source material.

    There's a great line that describes how powerful the Celestials are in issue 6 of the Eternals 2006 series. Tiamut, the Dreaming Celestial, is waking up and the Avengers are planning to fight it to protect the Earth.
    Iron Man: "It can't stop us all."
    Wasp: "We've fought aliens before."
    Makkari: "Doesn't matter. You can't hurt it. You can't even AFFECT it."
    Um, wait... did you say... just... dang.

    the only problem with this story is that the gods were created thru the belief of humans, not the other way around. the celestials created the first humans which became the eternals. that means it was the normally evolved humans that saw the eternals doing special feats that gave rise to the belief in gods.

    I love the fact that Jack Kirby's 50 yr old repackaging of Greek mythology...combined with references to Christianity & the Bible
    has stood the test of time ..& has as interesting & complex backstory as the rest of the Marvel Universe
    But even as a kid reading Kirby's work at DC after he left Marvel in the early 1970s..& then his work for Marvel after his comeback in 1976..I thought that Kirby's writing skills did NOT match his art skills..at least in my opinion..& as his artwork reached its peak during his Marvel comeback of the late 1970s..& Marvel made the most of it by having Kirby do the covers of every Marvel book for damn near a year..the books where he was the writer as well as artist...like Captain America..The Black Panther..& The Eternals..had the most cringeworthy dialog I had ever read ..I was about 11 or 12 at that time & was appreciating the fact that most Marvel books of that era were being written for young adults..unlike the stories of the 1950s & early 60s..which seemed to be for a much younger demographic..but even at that young age. I wished that Kirby would go back to JUST being an artist..& leave the writing to Stan Lee & the rest.
    Over the years I've gone back & read those books again. & I can definitely appreciate Kirby's overall ideas & world building. .& his writing seems more nostalgic now..but STILL. some of the awkward emphasis on the wrong words in a sentence. & just the things he has his characters say..can push the CRINGE button to this day..lol.
    I'd love to know if anyone feels the same way about Kirby's later work..

    Just an idea, I think Doctor Spectrum could make a very good member to the Eternals.
    Well if he was able to control his power because I heard that he almost wiped the Avengers from reality with his power prism. But I figured out that the power prism which is the crystal in his left hand is really a living creature a being that feeds on emotions. By that he used to to turn thor, captain america, and iron man's fear into reality which were loki, the winter soldier, and ultron. But in the end they saved Spectrum because that was not him falcon said the prism was controlling him. Because Nighthawk put it in his hand and made him destroy his plannet.
    But let me know if their is another version Spectrum, I would like to know what you think.

    I would love to see the Eternals sing the song "It's tough to be a god" from The road to El dorado. You know, because people mistake them for gods.

    Kang just effortlessly made a axe that can easily kill Celestials in Uncanny Avengers. Thor used it to one shot a Celestial.

    Can you do history of the Living_Brain, the Elementals, Cyclone, Hydro Man, Molten Man, the Spot, Sandman, Century, Lore and Technovore?

    You have a great channel but I hate the eternals and this Disney push these days. Now it's cool if others like them but I always thought they were lame. I think overall comic sales would prove I'm not really wrong. They just aren't popular.

    Is the Eternals movie going to be as long as Avengers Endgame? Is it going to be exciting and worth watching?
