So they didn't interfere with Thanos killing half the population in every planet. Other than that, I trust Marvel will weave it into the MCU, just like Doctor Strange, multi-verses, etc. are all coming. I meant that in the comics Thanos and the Eternals are descended from the same race. I have no idea why or how they will connect to infinity war, endgame if at all. IW happens in basically a day or two on earth, so it’s possible they didn’t have the knowledge of what Thanos was doing til it was too late. With how big the army was in endgame you could always retcon them into the army, but I think I’d be disappointed if that was the route they went. Honestly, I have no idea how they are going to make the transition, but it looks like most of the movie will predate endgame anyway so it may not be an issue until act 3 of the movie or later.

Like both descend from Eternals/Celestials but live on different worlds. But I have no idea how they are going to connect to the MCU. And I know even less about the Eternals other than they are Aliens living on earth for a long long time. Oh I didn't know they are related to Thanos. I guess ultimately Thanos' plan was to help save life even though his approach to it was ruthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he’s a mix breed of Eternals and Deviants (the primary enemy race of the Eternals). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I still don't really get why they didn't get involved in Endgame. I mean I get it from a film point of view, we don't know who they are at that point but still doesn't really make a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I get it from a film point of view, we don't know who they are at that point but still doesn't really make a lot of sense. Specifically Endgame makes sense because it happened fairly fast. Thanos shows up unexpectedly and there's an immediate battle. They already excused Captain Marvel by her saying there were other worlds out there to protect and they all don't have a team of Avengers. If the Eternals didn't just create or influence Earth (or whatever they did) but other worlds, then they could easily explain they were taking action elsewhere. The real question is what were they doing the entire time Thanos was wiping out half the population of different planets and collecting the infinity stones. It could also be a situation where they had a strict code or rule to not interfere, but AFTER what Thanos did they realized that the might need to change their ways. Good writing - even just a couple simple lines of dialogue - handled the right way can avoid or address these kind of concerns. Too many movies don't address things and leave plot holes open. It's not that difficult, even if fans don't particularly like the explanation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that difficult, even if fans don't particularly like the explanation. I think this is the best and easiest route for them to take. Thanos was trying to wipe out half of life in the entire universe as opposed to a planet or two. So they probably said "ok this is Fed but we shouldn't interfere on behalf of one planet" and then he wipes out half the universe and they say "looking back, maybe we should've seen the bigger picture there".

Curious if they get snapped then why wouldn't they have stepped in. I don't know anything about them. Are eternals above the infinity stones where they wouldn't get snapped? If some did get snapped and the rest didn't do anything and then they reappeared...that would be awkward lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doesn't really explain why they didn't get involved in Endgame. But hey this is Feige and he's pretty good at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent23 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Thanos snap was supposed to be random so what if he would have dusted as well at the of infinity war? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
