Marvel's Eternals: Comic vs Movie Comparison

Join this channel to get access to perks:
/ @comictropes
The latest MCU movie is The Eternals. How close is it to the original Jack Kirby comics? What does it take from other Marvel comics? This video gives you a comparison, looking at the Eternals themselves, including Ikaris, Sersi and Thena, the Celestials, and the other Marvel characters like Dane Whitman. It also explains the two post credits scenes.

One thing you left out was kind of important is that Kirby's other main influence for both the Eternals and his Fourth World works was, "Chariots of the Gods" by Book by Erich von Däniken. You can see this in the idea of extraterrestrials being mistaken for gods by humans.

Honestly when Marvel announced Eternals, I was very confused. I didn't remember them being that big of an influence on Marvel Comics when I was growing up and barely even knew who they were. While I greatly appreciate more of Jack Kirby's AND Jim Starlin's work coming to life on the big screen, I still find it very odd that they took such a huge gamble on a relatively unknown property.

[@nerdbot37]

Minor correction: The movie 2001 was not based on the novel. Both the novel and the film were somewhat based on Arthur C. Clarke's story "The Sentinel," and both were worked on more or less concurrently. The book is, in a way, closer to a novelization of the film, but even that isn't quite accurate. It's a case of two works by the same creators (Clarke wrote the film with Kubrick, and some of Kubrick's ideas informed Clarke's book) exploring the same (or similar) ideas and themes at the same time in different media.

I really liked Jack Kirby's Eternals when it came out. The comic had a lot of really interesting ideas, and I really liked how they eventually tied it in with the rest of the Marvel universe. If the trailer for the movie had not had the title "The Eternals" slapped on it, I would have never guessed that that film and the comic were even connected. While I haven't seen it yet it's looks to be the most "loosely" adapted of all the Marvel films so far.

[@robvangessel3766]

I am afflicted with a purist reflex when it comes to the visual design in comics, in cases I felt they worked, and Kirbyesque designs are invariably scrapped in the flicks. Occasionally, altering costume designs is in order, but, usually, imo, when something LOOKS good, you don't mess with it. I think most of Kirby's stuff should be visually translated in movies more faithfully than they are. Instead of turning everything into NASCAR.

I loved the movie and a Comic Tropes is the perfect followup. Chris is that friend you can unwind with. It was funny realizing the beach battle was essentially Flash, Batman, and Wonder Woman fighting Superman, but by then with a completely different connection to them as people. And I love that they didn't hold back from the cataclysmic scale of the climax. Once again the world was saved but irrevocably changed. The current Eternals run by Kieron Gillen has been quite enjoyable. It's mostly centered on Sprite and Ikaris, who is in a more noble defender role, but characterized single-mindedness that also informs the MCU Ikaris. It makes sense the most physically powerful Eternal would be the one with narrowest focus.

Eh, it's more complicated than that. The Sentinel was indeed the inspiration for 2001, but Clarke and Kubrick created the expanded outline that would become 2001 together and then separately created the book and film at the same time. One just happened to get released before the other, neither is the "original".

8:03 Quick note, Kieron Gillen's Eternals features Sprite as a girl. Something about the resurrections of Eternals always making some changes.

[@ajiththomas2465]

Personally, that's always made sense to me. I mean, all Eternals are capable of Matter Manipulation, so it only seems natural that they could change their gender if they felt like it. But from what I remember, when an Eternal is "killed", their "soul" basically gets transported to their Activation Machine where their new body gets created (although it takes a while) and from there, the Eternal can decide to change their appearance including skin color and gender (Sprite is a sort of exception in that they could change gender but not really their base looks, always looking like a child). That's basically how I understood it. One thing that has confused me though is Eternals and their breeding habits. Like, I've heard conflicting sources about their breeding and reproduction thing. On one hand, I've heard that Eternals basically can't reproduce with one another but they can reproduce with other species but their offspring would only be like the non-Eternal parent's species and won't inherit any Eternal powers. So the children of an Eternal and a human would result in humans with at best, peak human physical abilities. But if that's the case, how exactly was Zuras the father of Thena then? The other source I heard is that Eternals can breed with each other and stuff but as nature's way of balancing the scales, their reproduction rate is extremely, extremely low. Like, a lot of species evolve faster than it takes for Eternals to reproduce, _that_ low of a reproduction rate. Although that makes me wonder why they never just came up with some technology or found some magic that they could use to help them with their fertility problems. Do you get what I mean by this?

I have good memories of Makkari from Mark Gruenwald's Quasar. Wanting to be the fastest was a fun idea to include in a comic that had the main character's dad's corpse was used by the main character's mentor. The race to the moon issue was a lot of fun. You can hand that to a kid and they'll want to know more about all of the runners. The race near the end of the series where the analog for Barry Allen is beaten was tragic.

Having them literally evolve on the screen after absorbing an Eternal’s essence was interesting and it seemed as though they just scratched the surface with that plot point. I wish they’d carried that further…perhaps in the next film.

I did wonder if Zuras would be used, since he'd possibly reduce the impact once we see Zeus show up in the MCU.

Gilgamesh was also an Avenger in the comics for a time, see for example, the cover of issue 300.

It was the first really heavy marvel movie, with Dr Strange 2 continuing the trend. It was definitely not like other Marvel movies, with the relationships and sorrow. Celestials looked awesome

[@alanrussette2819]

Was there any explanation (reasonable or otherwise) for why Makkari is deaf? Seems odd that Celestials would create a being that lacked hearing. If the deafness occurred as a result of injury, then wouldn't Ajak's healing abilities be able to remedy this?

It’s just because of the actress and they didn’t bother to offer any explanation behind it

[@reinbehlke8823]

@@Jack-rj4kd It’s actually self explanatory. She couldn’t run supersonic without hurting her ears, so she’s designed to be deaf so she can run. It’s a more realistic angle for a speedster
