Thank you, sum1.

I'm with sum1 on The Eternals. They're not only miscasting the film, they're putting it into the wrong context. This is a movie that should've come out before Endgame to establish Thanos' backstory along with the greater mythology of Marvel Comics. The whole point of The Eternals was to explain where superhumans came from in the first place, and that The Celestials came to Earth millions of years ago and pulled a 2001: A Spacy Odyssey on humans by experimenting on them and creating races of immortal superhumans who were eventually mistaken for the ancient Gods of Greek and Babylonian mythology, as well as leaving behind latent genes in ordinary humans that would eventually produce superheroes and mutants. The two races were The Eternals and the Deviants, and their war had lasted for millennia until they had both left Earth behind. Thanos is a child of two Eternals who carried Deviant DNA inherited from his mother, whom he later killed. The MCU is having this film come out way too late, and they're also screwing up the casting.
