14 new details that you may or may not have seen before.

Number 1: At the beginning of the film when Kingo is fighting a Deviant, Makkari intervenes
and in real-time speed it looks as if she just punched the Deviant.
But in slow-motion, we can actually see that she doesn't make any moves at all.
All she does is stop herself from going any further, but her momentum and the air burst
generated from her speed was enough to take out the Deviant.
That's how fast Makkari is, the impact of her speed is so much that often she doesn't
even need to land a punch.
Number 2: In Present Day, when Sersi and Sprite fight a Deviant after centuries, the Deviant
was able to distinguish the real Sersi and Sprite from the fake ones.
This surprised both Sersi and Sprite as no other Deviants before were able to do this.
And we later come to know that Deviant absorbed Ajak's healing powers.
But if you notice, what this Deviant essentially did was follow these glowing marks on Sprite's
hands.
As the real one is casting the illusion so only the real one had this glowing beam coming
off of her hand, the rest of the projections did not.
And this helped the Deviant figure out the real ones.
Number 3: After the fight in London, Sprite seems to be looking out for something at their
apartment and there she finds this small knife.
And we know she wouldn't be looking through things aimlessly, she was particularly looking
for this knife.
And this is the same knife she uses at the end of the film to stab Sersi from the back.
Now notice what it says on the knife.
The lettering roughly translates to "Sersi" So, Sersi's name on the blade indicates that
Sersi was the one who made this blade for Sprite.
So that if she's in trouble, she can defend herself with it.
This small detail adds so much more emotions to this scene.
I mean think about it, you made a knife for someone so they can defend themselves but
one day they stab you from the back using the knife you created!
Number 4: When Arishem or any other celestial disappears into darkness or whenever they
emerge from darkness into light, we see these golden circular symbols.
These patterns are essentially everywhere in the movie.
Whenever something materializes or someone performs magic, we see these patterns.
But I noticed something interesting in slow-motion.
Notice how these golden patterns are also physically embedded on Arishem's face, they
light up or dim down but never disappear.
These golden circular patterns are actually physically imprinted on every single Celestial.
So these golden patterns aren't just holographic symbols, they have physical existence.
Number 5: With each appearance, Arishem's size keeps getting bigger.
First we only see his face with 4 eyes.
Then his entire face and from his belly up.
And at the end, we are finally shown just how massive he is compared to our planet.
Number 6: When Sprite transforms Gilgamesh's outfit into a baby uniform, notice it says
"Gilga-mess" instead of Gilgamesh.
And there's even a spilled bowl of soup implying he always makes a mess!
Number 7: When Sersi, Sprite, and Ikaris travel on Kingo's private plane, you can actually
spot Captain America's original shield hanging on the wall behind Ikaris.
This is probably just a prototype as we saw the real one at the Smithsonian during The
Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Number 8: When Sprite mentions Steve and Tony, she refers to Steve as "Captain Rogers" instead
of Captain America.
This is a great detail indicating that Sprite and the rest of the Eternals knew Steve Rogers
even before he became Captain America.
They know him more as the soldier that he was rather than a political figure.
Number 9: The celestial that the Eternals stop from emerging is named Tiamut.
In the comics, Tiamut is known as the Dreaming Celestial and there's actually a storyline
where he decides he cannot destroy humanity.
Much like the plot of the film where his absence prevents the destruction of this planet.
Although it wasn't his decision in the film but the point remains the same.
Number 10: In the Domo aka Eternal's ship where Makkari was essentially spending most
of her time waiting to return home, there we can notice this Holy Grail.
This actually ties to Black Knight from the Marvel comics and his connection to King Arthur.
Number 11: In the same scene, Makkari is wearing an H.G. Wells shirt.
Now, H.G Wells is most notable for writing War of the Worlds.
A science fiction novel where extraterrestrials invade the Earth and they're better than Humans
at everything.
Similar to how the Eternals are in the film.
Number 12: During the team's flight on Kingo's private plane, just behind Ikaris, the TV
screen is playing Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.
Although the MCU has referenced Star Wars many times, this is the first time that actual
footage from a Star Wars movie has been shown on screen.
Confirming once again that Star Wars do exist within the universe.
Number 13: During the final fight when Thena confronts Ikaris, Ikaris stops her sword.
But to retaliate, Thena transforms her sword into a blade.
Now, notice we could visually see Thena sending some sort of cosmic energy to the point where
she wants the blade to come out from.
Considering it's all CGI, I have to count this as a great detail.
Number 14: Now this one is not really a detail but something that I observed.
One of many reasons why this film didn't really work at the box office, is probably because
the audience just couldn't connect to the plot of the film.
I mean, we are supposed to believe that Ikaris and Sersi dated for 5,000 years and their
chemistry on-screen seems like they haven't spent more than a day together!
Don't get me wrong, I really loved Richard Madden's performance but I think it was Gemma
Chan who wasn't giving her best, or maybe the story just didn't let her.
They're both incredibly talented actors but their chemistry just didn't work, in fact
Makkari and Druig's chemistry seemed way better and that wasn't even part of the plot.
Another issue I had with this film is just how easily Ajak changes her mind and goes
against Arishem.
She had been loyal for millions of years but when she saw the Avengers bringing everyone
back from Thanos' snap, she just changed her mind?
I mean I would buy that only if you showed me some actual scenes of Ajak living with
regular people and witnessing how much the reversal of snap meant to them.
There are just some things you cannot explain with dialogues, you have to show us visually.
That's why scenes like this in No Way Home worked but Ajak's explanation felt short.
And that's it, this would be my breakdown of Eternals at 0.25x speed.
