Shame they retconned them into the movie versions in the comics. I thought Marvel stopped that but I guess Eternals is so obscure they figured they may as well. The new celestial lore is so mundane and boring compared to Kirby's
For all the lip service given to Kirby this is the one property that nobody seems to like doing. Even Gamien phoned it in and just made it another of his "Look at at us! Were so powerful but shhhh don't let the humies know about us! Teee-hee-hee!" stuff. It's 70's Kirby at his most insane and his most genius and nobody every wants to embrace it and instead they always seem to want to downshift them into Thanos's extended family.
Putting Eternals on 616 Earth where the actual gods also exist kill their entire gimmick. They're supposed to be the source of all myth and legend, but on 616 they're just a bunch of myth posers and that really removes their potential. The original series is also not terribly interesting when the Celestials aren't in focus as I think Kirby just didn't have another full set of weird more-than-human people in him that soon after Fourth World and all the other titles he cranked out for DC. Ikaris and makkari are just kinda duller rehashes of Orion and Lightray (with some Fastbak thrown in). Thena is a discount Big Barda, complete with a romancing the enemy plot. I do think he was cooking with Sersi though and it's absolutely criminal she was butchered in the movie and Gillen's run into an unrecognizable mess.
Let's also implement that into the comics and make all the characters unrecognizable. Like turning Makkari from a blond white guy into a mute black girl.
Sersi is the only good thing about the entire Eternals franchise unless you're a cuckgay who's into Thena fricking kro and having mutant babies with him when Ikaris is right there moaning after her
Yeah. She's the brunette in the OP image. She was on the team during Cosmic Storm and the whole Leather Jacket era and was kind of a big deal for one of the major stories.
Their versatile power set is honestly pretty great for a superhuman race with different specializations and power levels that are acquired via training. Marvel mutants should had been something similar to the Eternals but with only 1 Eternal power unlocked upon the activation of their X-gene and other Eternal-like power set are potentially unlocked via training and acquisition of knowledge on how the specific power works.
Nobody else does, not even Marvel.
That's okay.

Still wish Richard Madden's Ikaris was sticking around.
There was a lot of weird casting in that movie. Hayek was entirely wasted,why couldn't she get to be mommy Ajak
Yeah..

Is it better or worse than Fourth World
Can't beat Fourth World.
I know, let's make a movie where they all wear forgettable mcu wear and half of them die and the main one is evil and dies too.

Making Thanos and the Titans redneck cousins didn't help either.
Gillen's run warmed me up to Ikaris more
Yeah I like Ikaris a lot
i enjoyed gillen's run
Bargain basement Krakoa. "Hey Kieron X-Men are selling like crazy how about you do the same thing for Eternals?"
>he's never found treasure in value villages
it was fun times and i'm sad it got cut short
How was it like Krakoa? They didn't go all hedonistic. The resurrection thing was introduced by Gaiman 15 years earlier.

What is with Cinemaphile anons and their obsession to spam the word cuck. Like that dude who was crying over Immortal and Kate.
Its one of the essential Cinemaphile buzzwords
>Ikaris wanting Thena
When? He had Margo chick back in the early days
Were Ikaris and Thena ever a thing except the movie?
Nope but Sersi has fricked everybody
>half a million years ago
Just straight up ignoring we saw Sersi's childhood in Babylonia huh, Gaiman?
>anon pretends if he lived for thousands of years he wouldn't sleep around as much as possible
i mean if he's not getting laid now, why would that change in any time period
I dug it when Circe was rolling with the Avengers.
This. Get her away from her boring family and back to fricking Black Knight until his pelvis breaks from that super-strong pussy
Marvel has a Circe too?
Marvel's character is called Sersi but yes.
Ah
Yeah. She's the brunette in the OP image. She was on the team during Cosmic Storm and the whole Leather Jacket era and was kind of a big deal for one of the major stories.
I always make that mistake.
Death by snu-snu
How did they frick him up so bad?
?
