Eternals answers the question why Doctor Strange let Snap happen. It was because of only BLIP Ajak was impressed by Humans and decided to save them. If Doctor Strange stopped Thanos by snapping, Eternals would have supported the emergence.

Here's an easter egg a lot of people may have missed. I wouldn't usually think of product placement as an easter egg, but the appearance of a box of Twinkie's in the spaceship near the end is a hilarious nod to the fact that, in the VERY FIRST issue of the Eternals, there was a full-page ad for Twinkie's that featured Captain America defeating the Red Skull through the power of...a Twinkie. It's true!

[@eemilee91]

Thanks for this! So interesting! I was wondering about that Twinkie exchange!

[@BluBearGaming]

[@lavane26]

Could it also be a reference to how Twinkies never ever seem to go bad, no matter how many years go by? Twinkies also made an appearance in Wall-E, and even after all the humans left Earth, Wall-E fed the cockroach Twinkies because they were, ahem, eternal.

[@SkylerStJohn]

Re: the darwin statue, i think evolution was a big theme of the story. The ability to evolve was cited as the flaw in the celestial's design of the deviants. The eternals were supposed to be an answer to that, unable to evolve. Then the second half of the film showed that these eternals gained the ability to change and grow.

[@malestorm234]

Yep, the whole film is about evolving, changing OR NOT changing. No matter what the celestials do you can't control how things evolve and change.

[@davidbjacobs3598]

Good observation! I like this a lot. It plays into humanity's role as well. Phastos gives them the plow one day, the next they're dropping atom bombs. But we also have the ability to change for the better. The Emergence would have put a halt to that evolution.

[@AdiAfendi]

The rings Phastos conjured looked very much like Shang Chi's. In fact, it was kinda alluded to in Shang Chi's post credit scene. Perhaps the Ten Rings and Phastos crossed paths centuries ago?

[@yoda908]

Shang Chi most likely will return so hopefully in a crossover with Dr. Strange a connection could be explored via Sanctum Sanctorum library.

[@naruto28291]

It was later explained by the director that it actually made a call for fin fang foom.

[@kevinmachado524]

That just means the 10 rings are celestial technology, possibly belonging to some other eternal?? Or just a weapon made by the celestials for humanity to protect itself.

[@blackheart4785]

As always ScreenCrush explainations so awesome. Thanks Ryan! Have a good day

[@maniacalkoala]

My big question is this: Who is the most powerful, who is in control, and who knows the most? The TVA, the Celestials, or The Watcher? Edit: I would also like to point out that the name "Tiamut" is probably coming from "Tiamat", a Babylonian sea goddess who represents primordial chaos. Also, while most of the Eternals have names similar to well known ancient deities, the name "Kingo" probably comes from "Kingu", a child of Tiamat (and Abzu, the primordial sky god). Tiamat gave Kingu gifts, such as a breastplate and the Tablet of Destinies (basically a cosmic legal document saying that Enlil is the supreme god). I'm not entirely sure how all of that could connect, but that's what I know of the mythological figures.

[@davidbjacobs3598]

It's hard to gauge the Watcher's power, since he rarely uses it. He is likely on par with a Celestial, but of course they are a full race and would collectively be more powerful. Of course Watcher also has multiversal power, so maybe I'm wrong with that. The TVA is a different kind of power, in that they have good weapons and tech and bureacracy. If they actually fought a Celestial, they'd be wiped out no question. But their power comes from knowledge as well -- Kang basically knows what's going to happen. So it's kind of non-incidental. If we ever meet Eternity, Infinity, Oblivion, or Death, they will top all of these. If we meet the Living Tribunal, he's stronger than all of us. Then the Beyonders are maybe on par with LT. And the strongest, of course, is The One Above All... who is Jack Kirby.

[@greywolf7577]

The Watcher would be the most powerful except that he doesn't interfere. If the other two, the TVA is the most powerful because if they don't like what the Celestials do, they can just erase that timeline.

[@fdlarts7676]

I'd also like to add that the word "Tiamat" is one letter away from the word "Kiamat" which in Indonesian, means the end of the world. I don't know if there's actually a connection or just coincidence but the history of human laguage fascinates me

Just finished it. It’s not Top 10 MCU and maybe not in the top half of the franchise but for a film with such a controversial rating I was expecting something worse. Sure it’s long, heavy on the exposition, and one character had an arc right out of Invincible (which wouldn’t have been an issue if Eternals had released in 2020). But I was very impressed by the cinematography and I enjoyed the cast (particularly Kumail Nanjiani, Don Lee, and Brian Tyree Henry). Marvel took a gamble, it wasn’t a complete success but the parts that worked I thought worked so I hope Marvel keeps taking risks and continues the stories of several of these characters

The cast like I said was great and each had there moment to shine, but I felt when something big happened in the movie I didn’t get to excited or sad because these characters are so new to MCU I didn’t have an emotional connection with them.

Yep.... The first film should have started from their arrival on earth and should have ended at their separation in 1521 (Basically, the flashback sequences of this movie with some additional content such as Druig and Makkari's chemistry) This film should have been made somewhere in the Phase 3 And, the second film (a Phase 4 Movie) should have started from another wave of Deviants after the blip and should have ended where it ended (Basically, this movie WITHOUT the flashback sequences and with some additional content) This would have made a "more than four" (exciting) hours with our beloved Eternals

[@jsl8461]

I loved this film, but I totally agree with you that it could have been 2 films or even a TV series. Within the "big budget deconstructed superhero" genre, including Justice League Snyder Cut, Watchmen (the movie), etc, I think this is the deepest and most resonant for me. Although Snyder's comic book visuals are unparalleled and he excels at creating amazing atmospheres, I think Eternals film evokes a much deeper sense of mythological grounding.

Oddly enough, this plot summary was leaked months ago.

[@wilmaso]

🤣🤣 mans couldn't wait another 24 hours

[@beeochg4]

In the video you said that Peter Sarsgaard played Kro but I think you meant to say it was voiced by Bill Skarsgård.

[@jesalp]

Such a great breakdown, thank you! I absolutely LOVED the film. One of my favourite MCU movies yet.

[@starkodinson9757]

"I need to stop eating CBD treats.." lmfao literally spit my coffee out in laughter

[@whataifuck]

i heard about a theory that Phastos made the first vibraniun Cap America shield! We can see some shields in Babylon scenes VERY similar to Cap's shield... and he was working with USA on the WWO how we saw on Hiroshima scene. Actually it's rlly weird think that Howard Stark found vibraniun by himself and forged that tho... what also looks like the Babylon shields on the movie what probably Phastos helped to design. (if I'm trash at explaining, im sorry... eng is not my first language)

[@mainsink6385]

Can you give the best most detail commentaries! Thank you 🙏🏽!

[@susanjoynersnodgrass9766]

I love your videos!! Extremely insightful!!

[@RajBauer]

This movie was amazing and I am not shocked by the reviews because this isnt a generic superhero movie, it touches on a lot of deep themes that can go over the heads of the average human. I love how deep and dense the MCU storyline is getting and I honestly dont care if it alienates the viewers who just want the same crap over and over again.

[@deanospimoniful]

Thanks for explaining this to us lesser beings.

[@RajBauer]

@@deanospimoniful well I’m only saying that regarding most of the reviews I read about the critics score. If you read a lot of those and compare it to the movie you watched you will see that the movie was way to deep for most of them. This is why I stopped trusting the RT score like 5 years ago when both Wonder Woman and TLJ proved critics had no clue what they were talking about lol

[@keithmorales1760]

Movie was boring as fuck horrible casting.. no action!! Worst marvel movie and I defend them all. I tried so hard to like this.. shung chi was way better

[@robertcoggeshall3071]

They had action scenes all through the movie! A couple of slow spots, but the finale was worth it! Great final fight and 2 good post credits

[@Pallialbertti]

I personally LOVED the movie. It was just so good. Ofc it was kinda sad that they killed Ajak and especially Gilgamesh. But i didn't really care about Ajak. Gilgamesh was really good tho. But i've heard that in the comics eternals died and then were brought back somehow so.. Makkari is easily the best live action speedster. Her fight scene against Ikaris was PERFECT Ikaris was also REALLY great. Also his fight scenes were so well made And ofc other characters were also so interesting and good but yeah 9,8-10/10 for me. Easily in my top 3 favourite marvel projects Edit: and also the runtimr didn't bother me. I loved the whole 2,5h. There wasn't a single scene where i was like "could this already end" or "how long is this taking oh my god".

[@sebiieex]

just saw it, absolutely amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

[@wobbler30]

This was dope dude. Great explanation and people really think about things extensively. I get it was a slow burn but it was excellent

[@giftedgeek]

11:20 Kro was played by Bill Skarsgård right? not Peter Sarsgaard...

[@tilarium2]

Just had a thought. You mentioned that in the comics the Celestial Egg was made from vibranium. Makes me wonder, could the vibranium asteroid that crashed into Wakanda actually have been the egg containing Tiamut. After all, they didn't seed the egg until after all the other apex predators were cleared out and Humanity started to come to being.

[@cmcguckin85]

Yo I love how you are an obvious wrestling fan and your GE lightsaber. Thanks you for all of your videos

[@nexus666__]

Thanks for all these videos

[@trippytimesjosh355]

Movie was phenomenal, artistic and has incredible underlying themes. Sacred geometry, space Odyssey references, ancient aliens, CE5. People are gunna look back on this film in the future.

[@bluevsred415]

And the connections to venom make it that much better.

[@kevinnguyen4378]

@@bluevsred415 What was the connection to Venom? Did I miss it?

[@luigiscazzari4724]

Now movie-goers know what comic book readers always knew; Kirby's stories were insane. The statue of Christ is in Rio

[@maralmeida9751]

This was a great video. Thanks!

[@maria.z6728]

just got back from the movie theatre and checking if you posted was the first thing i did

[@multiversemonologues]

Honestly loved this movie. All of the characters, actors, reveals/twists, action sequences and most importantly the genuine fear of not knowing which characters would survive made this addition to the MCU a welcomed one

[@seand5259]

I loved the Eternals...it had a watchmen feel to it

[@JasonKirin]

Hey! Dig it! I got an Easter egg for you. Makkari uses the sign “dream” when she talks about Tiamut. I thought it was odd until I watched your video and you called him the “dreaming celestial.” Cool!

[@vidinhadovini]

Amazing movie and I was looking forward for your analysis

[@revolutioninprint8906]

I loved this movie.. the potential of this movie to the MCU will be vast. Also Earth X was one of my favorites, thanks for talking about that.

[@burrahobbit]

Honestly, you have been on break for a while. But for real, one thing that bothered me was that the Eternals split up in Tenoctitlan, then later Druig says that he stayed in the last place they lived together: The Amazon. I suppose we have to assume that the Eternals were on a field trip when we saw them in Mexico, because these are not the same thing.

[@JosephCuadradoMedina]

Watched it last night and I really liked it! I really felt the emotional burdens of the characters and the visuals were stunning. I'm excited to see the development of all these new characters to the MCU.

[@popcorn2ist]

Loved it!

[@klydejohnson7520]

What if ego’s plan worked in guardians of the galaxy 2 and his seed destroyed the earth would the eternals or the celestial’s have to stop him so the celestial seed dosent get destroyed too🤔🤔

[@Kris_AB]

The more aliens-interfering you add to Earth's history in the MCU, the more fun this could all get, but there's also the risk of it all not holding up as well, if the writers of various films and series don't consult with each other or pay attention to the details in everything that's come before. If the Marvel Television era stuff still counted, then we'd also have the Kree messing around with human DNA and creating The Inhumans (I know the Celestials did the same to humans to create The Eternals in the comics, and this similarity is probably why The Eternals were made to be synthetic beings in the MCU instead).

[@merijn4440]

If I had a nickel for every time an MCU movie planted a giant alien egg inside Earth, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice! (GOTG2 and Eternals)

[@drewismynick]

i liked it. i wish it had been a little deeper though, especially with the mythology aspects. id have liked to have gotten some more from their mind meld with the baby celestial. was it aware when it was awakening? when they joined with it, it must have had some things to say to them about their plan. id liked to have seen some of that.

[@lizjoyce5]

Loved this movie. And this analysis made me love it even more. Thanks.

[@bani_niba]

Christ the Redeemer statue is in Rio De Janeiro , not in Rome.

[@AlineSantos-jo9ky]

I was looking for this comment, thanks.

[@maninblack716]

Eternals answers the question why Doctor Strange let Snap happen. It was because of only BLIP Ajak was impressed by Humans and decided to save them. If Doctor Strange stopped Thanos by snapping, Eternals would have supported the emergence.

[@Kris_AB]

Maybe. If Dr. Strange was even able to notice and pay attention to that detail. Good catch, though. I wonder if any Eternals or their lovers/human families got Snapped in 2018.

[@maninblack716]

@@Kris_AB yeah because Dr Strange was most OP character in infinity War he may also have cut thanos' hand just like Wong did to Calobsidian. Or he may have stopped Peter quil from enraging on Thanos when Spidey was taking out his gauntlet but he did nothing, he just let thanos snap, and hulk snap and Tony sacrifice , so that Eternals would support humans. And Stop that celestial baby from destroying earth. One arrow Two Targets Dr Strange OP.

Hey ryan, thanks for introducing Gary your boss , it was cute and cool at the same time. Kudos ! Love your videos

[@Jimbo1221]

4:11 You forgot to mention that Jack Kirby actually worked on a 2001 comic!

[@brianlong3632]

He had been dead for 7 years by that point.

[@no.man.is.an.island]

Have we mentioned that where the celestial was emerging from was the earthquake under the ocean that the Avengers "dealt with by not dealing with it" in Endgame? Or is that still a reference yet to be connected to anything?

[@myTawaci]

Not possible. Eternals is set after Endgame. ;)

[@vinnitec]

THANK YOU

[@lsmc8909]

I liked it!! It was really unique, I was enthralled.

[@michaelcarter9024]

Gilgamesh fighting that bull-like deviant in Babylon can be seen as a direct reference to the time when the real Gilgamesh from the famous epic fought the “Bull of Heaven” sent by the goddess Ishtar to punish him for not sleeping with her. Great video as always! Loved it and the movie!

[@isaacobioma6739]

This movie was really well done!

[@torroloco95]

The confidence of the pronunciation of Tenochtitlan I have to respect. Probably knew it was wrong, knew some shmuck like myself would mention it. Ryan said it confidently and kept on with the amazing Easter eggs. Tip of the cap to you sir
