When you love something you fight for it
we're the ones who changed everything
Welcome back everyone this is going to be my new marvel eternals video for how they lead up
to mutants and x-men inside the mcu or they are one of the ways we see mutants in x-men inside
the mcu there'll be a couple different ways that i'll explain during the video
if you're brand new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos we'll start
seeing more eternals trailers later this summer when the black widow movie comes out when shangxi
in the legend of the 10 rings comes out so there's a lot of really big stuff coming up we're doing a
new disney plus giveaway for memberships because loki episodes are coming up all you have to do to
enter is be a subscriber and let me know what you want them to do with eternals inside the mcu going
forward but during the eternals trailer footage that they release gemma chan's Sersei characters
talking to someone saying we're the ones who changed everything both metaphorically and
literally like they went around actively changing the course of human history and evolution but also
changed it in passive ways without completely realizing what was going on and that's where we
get to the whole x-men and mutants of it all so in that new eternals teaser trailer footage that they
released recently they give you an early look at them during a couple different time periods
in their two different speeches are meant to give you an idea for their overarching philosophy just
guiding their actions inside the mcu like what are they doing on earth what are they here for
and why are they doing this if you've read any of the recent or even the older jack kirby eternals
comic books you have a pretty good idea for their origins compared to the other big marvel comic
book groups with powers like the inhumans the x-men the fantastic four asgardians like thor
characters like the hulk and spider-man that have biological powers marvel has a bunch of different
ways of explaining where biological powers come from people who had their dna mutated after they
were teenagers or adults getting into accidents monica rambo is probably the best example of that
in present day mcu during wand division she passed through scarlet witch's chaos magic hex barrier
enough times that it completely mutated her dna and she got powers i did a whole video on her
a couple months ago explaining why she's secretly one of the most powerful new characters in the mcu
because of the way her powers work so i'll link that below in the description
but monica rambo isn't a mutant in order to be called a mutant traditionally you have to be
born with your powers so a lot of you realize that when billy and tommy were created on one division
they actually meet that requirement so as far as we know they're the first two characters
that we've seen that were born mutants in the mcu technically she did use her chaos magic to create
them with a little help from hex vision although she did most of the work so scarlet witch messing
with the hex in her chaos magic is just one of the ways early mutants start to show up in the
marvel disney plus series eventually the marvel movies because billy and tommy are supposed to
come back and have a minor role in doctor strange too multiverse of madness so they can pay off that
whole one division post-credits scene with her trying to save them from an alternate reality
the difference with the eternals influencing the creation of mutants and x-men characters
in the mcu is actually through an accident whereas scarlet witch was trying to create two new beings
on purpose so this is where we get into some of the changes that the eternals movie is making to
the eternals backstory in the comics originally the celestials were created by the cosmic entity
eternity which is the living embodiment of the multiverse like the multiverse has a consciousness
peter quill talks about eternity during guardians of the galaxy vol 2 he gets a glimpse of it
when ego the living planet sort of activates his celestial dna another small change to the mcu ego
the living planet in the mcu is another one of the celestials he's just on a twisted version of the
same mission that the regular celestials are on so eternity created the celestials for the purposes
of gardening each universe and experimenting with life just go around and experiment on
planets trying to create new life and see what happens because we have the new fantastic four
movie coming galactus for example his cosmic role is a little bit like the celestials it works hand
in hand with the celestials his cosmic purpose is sort of weeding the garden metaphorically talking
about the universe like you do controlled burns sometimes to recharge nutrients into
the soil that's galactus on a cosmic scale he eats planets is a way to prevent stagnation
and overpopulation everyone posts all your thanos memes perfectly balanced as all things should be
the other minor change that apparently they explained during the eternals movie at least
in the mcu is that the deviants came before the eternals and the celestials created the deviants
in the mcu in order to protect the new life that was growing on each of the planets around
the universe at least initially the deviants were supposed to hunt predators preying on the new life
that the celestials were experimenting with but at some point they explained the deviants rebel
against the celestials and start killing off all the regular life forms too so in response
the celestials then create the eternals to go around and stop the deviants from doing that
to protect life like the way you hear ajak Salma hayek's characters say during that trailer footage
if you love something you fight for it because they intercut that with the footage of the wedding
that's happening on the beach they're talking about the eternals fighting for each other like
they love each other so they're fighting for each other but it's also a metaphor for them
loving humanity in fighting for humanity trying to stop the deviants trying to stop
other things from killing off all life on the planet even though the deviants are
portrayed as villains during the eternals movie they are not the main villains technically really
the celestials are more like the main villains if you remember the loki's speech during the
first avengers movie when he's talking to nick fury about crushing ants under his boot and nick
fury's like wait are we the ants are you the boot what's going on here on a more cosmic scale the
celestials are the boot and humanity earth is the ant so like you see esau and the searcher
in the first guardians of the galaxy movie using the power stone to wipe out an entire planet's
worth of life that's basically them getting rid of an experiment that they feel like didn't pan
out anytime the celestials are done with an experiment they'll just toss it in the cosmic
waste bin so to speak so during the eternals movie not only the eternal is trying to stop the
deviants from killing humans they're also trying to stop the celestials from threatening all life
but the way the drama between the eternals the deviants and the celestials play out and lead
to the creation of mutants and x-men characters inadvertently at least through an accident is
that apparently during the movie the celestials also lay a celestial egg inside planet earth
and they're trying to grow another celestial eventually but because it's a celestial it
takes eons for it to grow so it's just sitting there growing inside planet earth for hundreds
of thousands even millions of years in over all those years it slowly begins to irradiate earth's
soil with its celestial energies that is just giving off slowly modifying human dna
until eventually humans develop the x gene and start to be born with biological powers
it's a little like the idea that background cosmic radiation that scarlet witch is manipulating to
modify things inside the hex like the same type of energy that was given off during the big bang
the same energy inside the infinity stones this is the same type of cosmic energy that the celestials
wield on a certain level but normally when you're not scarlet witch and you don't have chaos magic
abilities it takes eons for something like this to change dna to modify things marvel kind of did a
version of this story in the comics where they said that celestial blood was tainting earth's
soil and that was slowly modifying human dna over time so the movie explainer is just a little bit
different it's the exact same concept of what happened with vibranium in wakanda the vibranium
meteorite crashes in wakanda in over thousands and thousands of years the vibranium leeches into the
soil affecting the plant and animal dna eventually human dna because they're feeding on all the
animals and the plants just a very scientific way of explaining what seems like magical abilities
they do that a lot during the thor movies as well saying oh this thing that you think is magic is
really just highly advanced science that you guys haven't figured out yet so a lot of you are asking
if the celestials are inadvertently leading to the creation of mutants in the mcu by slowly modifying
human dna where have mutants been this whole time why haven't we started to see them until now there
are couple reasons as you suspected some of them are plot armor reasons like legal reasons they
literally could not do mutants or x-men until now in the mcu so all the marvel movies up to about
the eternals were developed starting before the fox disney deal was done so kevin feige originally
had to develop a plan for the next five year of marvel movies that didn't involve mutants or x-men
characters wanda vision is sort of an exception to that with billy and tommy they kind of skated by
on that because nobody literally calls them a mutant or an x-men character during that series
they're just born with powers everyone thinks it's weird for a minute until they just eventually
accept it so actually using mutant characters like mainstream big x-men characters and movies takes
way longer because the movies take a long time to develop and they couldn't start developing
those movies until after the disney fox deal was done so that's why we probably won't be seeing a
ton of traditional full-blown mutants x-men characters running around the marvel movies
till at least around 2023-2024 so that's like black panther ii territory fantastic four movie
the later movies that are coming out so just tune your expectations accordingly for that that's why
kevin feige says they haven't even gotten close to casting a new version of wolverine because they're
literally just starting to develop the new marvel x-men movie right now but on a story level the way
they justify mutants just starting to show up now is mostly the concept that that growing celestial
egg deep in the planet's surface took eons to modify human dna to the point where eventually
people just start being born with powers if that's just starting to happen after the events
of avengers end game like we're just now starting to see it then there's the way they're mining the
snap avengers infinity war the events of avengers end game for drama in the later movies influencing
the future of the mcu really good example is that rocket claims in avengers end game that the cosmic
energy given off by a single infinity gauntlet snap is so massive that it's never been seen on
that scale before in the history of the universe and there were three infinity gauntlet snaps
within the span of five years all on planet earth in close proximity to each other so those also
act as a catalyst for change affecting everything in the future in unexpected ways but the writers
essentially use events like that to connect these new weird concepts and these new weirder
characters to all the stuff that's come before like the marvel phase one phase two phase three
characters as we get more eternals trailer videos i'll do more videos on the other characters as
well like kitt harrington's black knight character he's going to be really cool in the mcu his main
weapon the ebony blade is kind of like a storm breaker level weapon inside the mcu it also has
some of the same abilities that stormbreaker has and of course we have all the loki episodes coming
up in a couple weeks i'll be doing videos for each of those episodes congratulations mr j juck you're
