Eternals seems to have to be an ensemble piece. Each of the characters are by their nature archetypal, so they need each other to bounce off of.

I do like where this is going. It's the story of a society that lost it's purpose, of characters who are unchanging. But with their original purpose gone they have to find a new one, their society has to reinvent itself. Which you know, since these character's personalities are well... Eternal... is difficult.

I like contradictions like this.

I really liked your opinion, and yeah, I also like contradictions like this. :)

This is not bad, per se, I just kinda feel it would work better without already established characters.

"Thanos is not a true Eternal"

I never want to be defending the Mad Titan but screw you guys. No wonder he keeps trying to kill you.

"Why can't you be more like your brother the date rapist?"

To be fair, I don't think they'd recognize Eros as one either.

So the Titans in general are getting snubbed?

I always thought Eternals were a race, not a nationality.

If memory serves, only A'Lars/Mentor among the Titanian Eternals was actually rendered immortal and cosmic-powered the same way as the Eternals on Earth were. The others split off and founded their colony before that happened.

[cainofdreaming]

They were rendered cosmic powered in the aftermath of Kronos' experiment, but they were always immortal.

Or not. I remembered it being the way I wrote in the first series, but it seems wikis contradict my memory. So, either I remembered it wrong, or it's one of the several retcons. Eternals are pretty even with Ghost Rider on that front.

I mean I can;t really say I blame them for not wanting the guy who is mainly known for repeated omnicide out of a desire to bone (HAHAHA) a magical skeleton to hang out with them here

I am enjoying this hugely.

Ikaris really did himself proud, going rounds with Thanos and not only surviving but drawing blood! I had no idea he was that powerful, it is comparable to Black Bolt.

Unless... it is often assumed that Thanos powers himself up every time he gets a cosmic cube or infinity gauntlet or whatever. The resurrection machine don't, I expect, update Eternals. So this could be a Thanos reset to base stats. Still a monster but not one that throws Thor and Hulk around.

And on Thanos... I am really liking having him interact with the Earth Eternal for once, and the acknowledgment tht he'll be resurrected as well. But I do wish they would stop trying to retcon his background all the time.

It wouldn't surprise me. He started crazy powerful and has used everything from cybernetics to magic to buff himself.

It's nice to see Sersi again, I like her
