So with a setup so perfect, inspired by one of the most famous run of Eternals, written by one of the most famous fantasy/sci-fi writers ever, I have to wonder: why didn’t they use it?! This story also allows the audience to more organically discover the world of the Eternals right alongside our heroes, something the film seriously bungled through its endless series of clunky expository scenes. From there, he sets out to find the others. The 2nd snap gives Ikaris all his memories back. “Now that the Eternals are out of commission, I can more easily acquire the stones without their interference.”Īnd the THREE snaps on earth are a perfect explanation for their reawakening. It even explains why Thanos waited so long to get all the stones. It explains why they sat out the battle of New York, Ultron, and Thanos, who they absolutely would’ve been aware of. This setup solves nearly all the plot holes created by the late introduction of the Eternals in the MCU. And the story goes from there as Ikaris tries to reawaken all the Eternals, stop the deviants, and solve the mystery of their mind wipe. Mark Curry is an med student in residency at Bellevue’s ER when he’s approached one night by Ikaris who tells him he’s actually an immortal super being created by space gods and charged with protecting humanity, he’s just had his mind wiped.
In it, the Eternals don’t remember who they are. This is not a gripe (I mean it is) but rather a very sincere question: why didn’t they use this story?
