So the Eternals movie is coming, but I have never read any of the Eternals' comic series. Are they any good...

The Neil Gaiman miniseries

god, no.

that shat on many things Eternals. Luckily in the end it was revealed it was just a story told by an unreliable narrator(Gaiman isn't stupid).

>that shat on many things Eternals.
Like what?

Practically their raison d'être

The original stuff is Kirby so it's probably worth reading.

I always got the vibe it was leftovers from Thor and 4th World stuff which again Kirby leftovers are better than most people's top tier so

Because he wants everyone to talk about the Punisher.

Yeah, like how all of the Eternals were supposed to be the inspiration for Earth's myths, especially the Greek myths (Zuras was Zeus, Gilgamesh was Hercules, Ikaris was Icarus, Sersi was Circe), except that in the MU most of those myths were already established to have been true. Did they ever explain how that made sense?

I'm going to take a bet that the movies are going to deviate heh so far from the source that they might as well be a new property.

I read something in a handbook about the Eternals filling in for the Gods on earth from time to time. Not sure what comic that was established in though.

don't listen to any of these plebs and read this forgotten masterpiece

But it didn't. It didn't change anything except bring Zuras and Druig back from the dead and maybe retcon the stuff in the badly maligned Eternal mini that was published in the 80s.

I'm afraid.

It's not. It based on the 60s/70s UFO craze and Chariots of the Gods. It comes from a different avenue than New Gods/Thor.

That's a retcon introduced by Roy Thomas in his aborted run of Thor. He and Kirby disliked each other.

It was mostly a matter of Kirby's Eternals book stating the gods of human legends were in truth the Eternals(and the demons->the deviants), because it wasn't supposed to be set in the Marvel Universe.

Once it was included in the Marvel Universe, it was explained\retconned into "humans mistaken the Eternals for the Gods, which are quite real"

All of them?
The Eternals is the MCU's chance to have the various pantheons "exist" without having a dozen sky-fathers and a whole shit-ton of crowded heavens. You can combine Zuras/Zeus, Hercules/Forgotten One and the rest, have other evil Gods be pan-dimensional Demons/hostile Eternals. Odin, Hela, Thor can either be Eternal-adjacent or an early warlike splinter group.
Use the Celestials, and you don't need to get into stupid comic shit like the Beyonders.

Celestials explain all the Human-like aliens, all the powerful variants like the Titans, all the bizarrely formed "deviant" alien races.

Enigmatic 1000 ft Ancient aliens did it all.

yeah, but that would be the easy way out.

...I want the main character being The Forgotten One, who believes himself being the fantasy god Hercules because of many centuries of blows to the head and inebriating beverages, with the Eternals trying to get him get better.

The at the end it is revealed he is, in fact, The Incredible Herc, with Gilgamesh having been a guest of the Olympians for the last couple millennia or so

Basically the Eternals, Asgardians, Titans and Elders should all be about the same step of being, with the Humans, Kree, Xandarians, Shi'ar, Centaurians, Sovereign and the rest below that. Deviants, Skrulls and Klyntar being the weirdos along with other morphic aliens.

If they go along with Earth X (and I think they should) the Watchers are engineered by the Celestials for a specific role, and Galactus is the Celestial nemesis.

There's been enough Hercules movies and TV shows that they might not be in a hurry to use him at all. Scoring Dwayne as a "reprisal" of Hercules/Forgotten one later on would be a coup for deep-pocketed Disney if they wanted to go that route.

bump

We don't know enough about this project.
Even that attention-whoring faggot with the fake spoilers hasn't warmed to it yet.

I love the Earth X cosmic heiarchy, shit was actually organized and not just a big mess of aliens and beings with ridiculous mcguffin powers

The Rock as Marvel's Herc has been my dream casting for years.

The Rock will never be Hercules again.
And I was going for Joe Maginello. He seems like a fun beefy guy.

>Do they have any good guest appearances in other books aside from Sersi being on the Avengers for a bit?
For sure, both Makkari and Sersi were featured a lot in Quasar, Makkari in particular was a close friend of Wendell. During that time, the Eternals were around the Avengers a lot and Mark Gruenwald used them as much as his Squadron Supreme in a lot of stuff.
I've been a fan of the Eternals for years, and comments like these (which I've read increasingly more over the months, specially from butthurt X-Fags) really annoy the fuck out of me. Just because you personally didn't know about them or that Marvel had them shelved for a while doesn't mean NOBODY knew about them.

No, read the Knauf/Acuña series that came after that, which actually lasted longer (10 issues), had better art and overall much better story, even ready-made for the MCU since it even crossed over with other Marvel characters like Iron Man, at a time when he led SHIELD.

Alternatively, read the Thor: Eternals Saga, assuming of course you're already acquainted with Kirby. Additionally, there's an All-New Invaders arc where they're featured, though you could skip that (it's not bad at all, but it's more for fans), and then you can dig the stuff related to the Celestials that came around them, which is still pretty essential to Marvel Cosmic even if the Eternals themselves aren't as featured.

Definitely read the original run, just for Kirby's artwork if nothing else.

>>"PIPER" (Female, 10-16): Strong and charismatic, with a magnetic personality. Wise beyond her years, athletic, articulate and quick-witted.
This one is rumored to be Millie Bobbie Brown, as she was seen meeting with the Russos and one of the post-credit scenes involve the Eternals.
Piper may as well be a genderbent Sprite, who's a very curious character. Honestly though, people should fucking read these and see how fun they are.

Why does presenting a false persona can to gross you out, you scarecrowman?

I'm mad that Hickman isn't writing Eternals. X-fags don't deserve it. They deserve Kelly Thompson, Bunn, Taylor and Leah Williams.

Then he'd have to suffer through Kirby's writing as well.

Worth it.

Are you me? This reads exactly like something I would say, I was also pissed off about it. Specially after reading that obnoxious X-Fag at the Con who was flaunting about it days after claiming the Eternals were shit caracters and the worst thing Kirby did.

Unbased and fagpilled.

Do you want to develop that idea?

Cringe and casualpilled.

So I started reading it because of this thread and the comic is good but it's so strange. Even now, I can't imagine it in the 70s

So what's this series about? Is it even canon?

The 70s were pretty weird.

Maybe he'll write it after he's done with X-Men?

Indeed.

Read the Kieby original and the gaiman

Shit taste and gaypilled.

Because people are interested? Not a hard concept.

>Are they any good?

No.

Did nothing interesting happen with the Eternals between the 70s and the 2000s?
