  • During the 1970s, comics legend Jack "King" Kirby returned to the House of Ideas with perhaps his biggest idea of all: the universe of the Eternals! Their creation was the result of Kirby's ceaseless curiosity about the origin of man and his mythologies - but like many of the King's concepts, it was defi nitely ahead of its time. Flash forward to 2006: Superstar creators Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr. have boldly taken on these concepts with a loving hand, in the process telling a fresh and crackling fun yarn full of mystery, suspense and majestic power - all with an eye on helping establish Kirby's creations as a vital part of the Marvel Universe once and for all. Against the backdrop of Marvel's Civil War, the Eternals are awakening one by one from a strange, waking dream, at once coming to terms with the fact that they are far more than the normal people they have thought themselves to be. They find there is little time to commiserate about such things, however, as they are thrust into a life and death sruggle that spans both time and space!

    I’m so glad Tiffany broke it down, because until watching this, I still didn’t understand the chronology of Eternals, Mutants, Inhumans and Baselines. Great episode. Also, Tiffany hosting is always a plus. 👍

    I always thought perhaps the atomic age was the catalysts that activated the mutant gene to become more prevalent in modern times. Which could explain why mutants were so rare before. This way the Oneg origin and the atomic origin can both be true.

    • @TeddIdle34
      @TeddIdle34 Před 5 lety +7

    I loved the interaction between the Eternals and the humans. Even Thena, with a human child, pretty much equates him to Zuras’s dog when arguing about being allowed to keep him.
    Oh, and Pym just gets treated like a punk by Ikaris.
    Pym: Hey! When you told me to stand over here, were you mind controlling me?!
    Ikaris: WOW, I’m impressed that you noticed. Why don’t you shrink down and sit over there while we decide what we’re gonna do.
    Pym: Good idea! DAMMIT!!

    Flashpool linked us to this video in the highly recommended THE Sal & Benny Show (maybe AbsoluteComics - something like that) show on Twitch (Tuesdays at 4 PM CST @ Comicstorian) as "some of us" had no idea who the hell the Eternals were or why we should care about an Eternals movie.
    Gotta say - as a movie... not seeing it.
    If they took the Watchmen approach and made it an HBO series - totally could see that.
    Still going to check it out... but probably at the budget theater, bluray, or morally gray streaming alternatives.
    As for the Eternals themselves... this was really quite interesting, and I've gotta check out some more of their related comics. Can't wait to pick this up on the Jun 30 re-release.
    Thanks for such an excellent, enjoyable, and informative video.

    What's crazy is that they are using this story for the Eternals movie. so I'm definitely looking forward to it. You did a great job.and obviously none of them typically on Titan were like Thanos because he stated that they thought he was crazy for wanting to remove half the population so he was outsted from Titan. I am curious to know if they're even going to bring uphe sokovia accords since iron Man is dead and Robert Downey jr. Hasn't really planned on coming back so unless they're doing a huge surprise that no one has seen comingwith him showing up in this movie, I'm guessing you're just going to ignore that whole registration part.

    I like when the Eternals crossed over with Hercules. They just diss each other on their own mythologies.
