It's beautiful
isn't it
we have watched
and guided we have helped them progress
and seen them accomplish wonders
throughout the years we have never interfered
until now
thank you for this oh you're welcome. So now that captain rogers and iron man are both gone
who do you think's gonna lead the avengers could lead them
Welcome back everyone this is going to be my brand new marvel eternals trailer video we finally have
an actual full trailer there's a whole bunch of easter eggs obviously they reference avengers
end game iron man captain america so we'll break it all down if you're brand new to the channel be
sure to subscribe to get all the videos we're getting ready for marvel loki episodes i'll
be doing videos for all those and we're doing a disney plus giveaway too all you have to do
to enter is be a subscriber and just leave your favorite moment from the trailer on the video
but if you couldn't tell the song that they use in this trailer is the end of the world
by skeeter davis very apropos because it's a reference to both avengers end game which they
directly call out at the end of the trailer in a reference to the plot of the movie
because the earth is threatened with imminent destruction a couple different times across
history multiple times the biggest being that giant storm cloud that they're all looking at
at the end of the trailer which is meant to signify the celestial host coming
like a celestial threatening to destroy the earth the same way you saw issan the searcher using the
power stone to destroy an entire world in that first guardians of the galaxy movie the events of
the movie pick up right after avengers end game so everyone posts all the memes oh here we go again
but i will chart the timeline as they jump around in time during the trailer because you see them
at several different points in human history going back tens of thousands of years but as
the song starts playing were meant to be tens of thousands of years ago at the dawn of civilization
when people were just starting to transition from the hunter-gatherer existence to living in towns
learning to farm what you're seeing here is the eternals rolling up in their spaceship to ancient
mesopotamia the cradle of real world civilization in a spaceship to begin their watch so to speak
post all your game of thrones jokes because we have kit harrington jon snow and richard madden
rob stark in the movie next time i see you you'll be dressed all in black and kit harrington is
playing dane whitman the black knight during this movie since i'm going through the trailer shot by
shot i'll talk more about what's going on with his character when we get to that part of the trailer
but make all the night's watch references too because now their watch begins as their spaceship
literally rolls up so that they can watch over humanity time to take the black the eternal's
backstory in the movie is going to be a little bit different from what it is in the comics so
in the movie the celestials are still responsible for creating the eternals but the reason why they
create them is a little bit different in the circumstances around their creation is a little
bit different in the original jack kirby comics the celestials showed to planet earth and they
began experimenting with humans giving them powers with celestial energy modifying them turning them
into the eternals in the deviants the difference in the movie is that they actually create them
separately and then the eternals come to planet earth based on descriptions of the movie now
the celestials are still going around sort of experimenting with life all over the universe
like you see during the original guardians of the galaxy movie but supposedly they create the
deviance first to watch over life protect the life that they're experimenting on all over the
universe but supposedly eventually the deviants start to hunt down the very life that they're
supposed to protect you sort of see a fight later in the trailer that's happening in present day
where kingo and thena are both fighting one of the deviants like this giant animal looking creature
with all the celestial energy arcing all over its body and supposedly at least based on the
descriptions the celestials send the eternals to planet earth to stop the deviants from killing
all the humans off and sort of watch over a celestial egg that's growing inside the earth
like the celestials are trying to create another celestial and they're using the earth to incubate
that growing celestial so also the secret mission that the eternals are there for is to watch over
the celestial that's growing and developing over the tens of thousands of years until it eventually
hatches grows and comes out threatening to destroy the earth again like the song in the trailer
says it's the end of the world but as the trailer implies eventually the eternals begin to think of
humans as their children so to speak they begin to love them like they're part of their family like
they themselves are a family so there's all these themes about them helping humans guiding them not
really interfering but then finally interfering because it is the end of the world that's also
a bit of a reference to them not interfering with avengers end game i'll explain that in
a second too because everyone's like where were they when thanos was attacking and snapping the
infinity gauntlet sure could have used some of those celestial powers that they have but you
notice their ship their costumes are covered in those cosmic symbols they're the same symbols
that you see all over the celestial's bodies you see the symbols rise up when they're using their
powers as well it's kind of marvel trying to do a real world looking example a live-action looking
example of the classic kirby crackle which was jack kirby's way of depicting cosmic energy they
actually did the kirby crackle for real like the actual kirby version of it during spider-man into
the spider-verse all of them share some of the same abilities in common like enhanced durability
strength and incredibly long lifespans they're functionally immortal they live longer than
asgardians they all have some unique abilities too you see most of them during the trailer so
i'll point them out when we see them but they set up the relationship between sersi and ikaris
and it's also funny to see jon snow rob stark in another character named sersi in a movie her name
is based on sersi from greek mythology so a lot of the humans over the years worship them as gods
and they inspire a lot of the gods that you see in different religions around earth and human history
but there's meant to be a love triangle between her character ikaris and kit harrington's black
knight character in present day the interesting thing about the black knight character is it is
actually a title that's passed down through dane whitman's lineage so the black knight comes from
medieval mythology like the original black knight and then his family is cursed you have the ebony
blade and his suit of armor that gets passed out it's the blade that's important the blade carries
the curse but in present day dane whitman becomes the latest black knight so he takes up the title
it's just that he doesn't really learn about it until present day like you see the dumbfounded
look on his face don't worry we'll talk about him in a second this is a nice shot of the interior
of their craft you notice that it's actually from present day though already big time jump because
this is meant to be salma hayek's ajak character wearing a cowboy hat which they definitely did
not have in 10000 bc here's a version of her in her full costume notice she has a different
headpiece notice all the designs behind her too on that mural and some of the artifacts
they have depictions of all the animals of earth you see some artifacts around this room there are
a couple shots later in the trailer where you get a better look at this so i'll talk about that as
we sort of go through the trailer footage ajak is meant to be one of the leaders amongst their group
ikarisis technically their leader in the comics one of the main characters and you kind of see him
present himself that way like later in the trailer where he's like i could lead the avengers but
amongst the eternals ajak acts as sort of like a big sister to the others later in the trailer you
see all that footage of the aztec city eventually the aztecs worship her as their god quetzalcoatl
this is angelina jolie's thena character obviously based on the greek god athena goddess of the hunt
then in another scene in the same room you get a better look at it you see brian tyree henry's
phastos character that sprite behind him on the table phastos was worshipped as the greek god
hephaestus his name inspired the name hephaestus is a bit of the same situation with the other
eternal's characters but as the name implies he makes things like the greek god hephaestus
in the comics at least he carries a hammer-like weapon that fires lightning bolts you can make
all the references to thor wielding mjolnir his hammer that shoots lightning bolts even though
technically it's thor that shoots lightning bolts as he uses his powers to start making
something you see all the cosmic symbols the celestial symbols start emanating with energy
like i said it's the same for all the eternals even though some of their powers are different
when they use their powers you see the celestial energy patterns sort of emanate from them but they
have this really cool transition to the marvel studios logo as the celestial symbols sort of
spread out filling the frame marvel's been getting really creative with their newer intros in marvel
phase four then later you see what seems like the eternals and sersi teaching humans how to farm so
that they can start living together in towns and eventually form cities you see her changing the
dirt into water helping nourish the crops one of her special powers is transmutation she can change
anything into anything else she can also create perfect illusions too which you kind of see later
in the trailer i'll talk about but then they started with sama hayek's voice over as ajak
when she's giving this speech she's talking to the other eternals characters and they use it
in a montage chronicling their history on earth she talks about how they watched over and guided
humanity and helped them progress technologically then you see sersi's hand with her green sleeve
here in the costume handing a dagger with their cosmic symbols on it like an eternals dagger to
one of the early humans because the clothing here in this scene is the same as when their
ship is rolling up to mesopotamia in these early humans here i think it's probably them introducing
themselves to humans for the first time this is angelina jolie's thena character seemingly
she's helping train these city guards later in the timeline in mesopotamia like in this
larger city many years later then everyone bows down in a separate scene in this same town maybe
from some other part of the movie worshiping them as gods then ajak says they've seen them
accomplish wonders the trailer jumps forward in the timeline again to ancient babylon but it's the
eternals having their own avengers assemble kind of moment getting ready for a battle based on all
this destruction like there's some big fight that they're in the middle of this is makkari on the
left that you're seeing for the first time she has super speed powers like the flash as you can see
fina on her right this is gilgamesh next to her he has crazy super strength in the comics way
beyond the other eternals he's kind of like their version of the hulk only he doesn't change form as
his name implies that ancient sumerian poem the epic of gilgamesh is meant to be based on him
this is ikaris next to him and then this is the first scene with kumail nanjiani's kingo character
his powers might be a little bit different in the movie but he's mostly known as one of the greatest
swordsmen on the planet he's often depicted as fighting with two katanas in the comics this is
makkari sitting inside their spaceship inside that same room that we saw before with phastos reading
from a pile of books that they've accumulated over the centuries and you see artifacts from all over
the world all over human history in the timeline from ancient europe the suit of armor crowns
things from ancient egypt ancient rome paintings from much more recently in history and some of
these books are from modern day just meant to show you their continued influence over the years on
humanity as they've developed makari is meant to be the inspiration for the roman god mercury
in the greek god hermes but as you can see from later in the trailer they were around and amongst
humans before the events of avengers infinity war like they knew who the avengers were they'd
been watching the news in modern day before thanos snap then this scene is actually deceptive because
this is sersi walking through that same ancient babylon city amongst all the people but notice
how she's wearing a modern day flannel shirt and then they transition to the present day london
is because she was using her powers to create a perfect illusion of the city based on her memories
then ajak voiceover talks about how they've never interfered over the years despite all the terrible
things that have happened to humans then they show you some terrible things happening to humans
across the years like this is what seems like a bunch of the conquistadors slaughtering the aztec
natives ajak hugging phastos they're all wearing modern day clothing so maybe this is after the
events of avengers end game after they have their reunion and they sort of remember everything but
you see ikaris and a bunch of them in this small village but it's in present day because kingo is
wearing modern day clothes and there's a camera crew behind him you see druid for the first time
he's kind of one of the black sheep of the family so to speak kind of a rogue kind of like loki you
see druid using his powers he can also transmute matter has telekinesis he can fly he could project
energy he has a limited form of telepathy as well that you see later in the trailer this kind
of like scarlet witch's telepathy you see thena in the middle of a fight with her big energy blade in
that same small village that they keep going back to this seems like a wedding that they're in the
middle of or a big celebration in india and then later in present day after they got their memories
back funny that jon snow and rob stark will have a love triangle with a character named sersi this is
another scene of sersi using her powers to change this structure into water notice the celestial
energy symbols all around it as she's using her abilities this is kingo in the middle of making
a bollywood movie in present day or at least in modern day before the snap before avengers end
game kingo becomes a bollywood star but then he's using his abilities in that same small village
that drug was in in present day to defend the people against one of these deviants this is the
scene of druid using his powers of telepathy to make everyone raise their weapons up the regular
humans like i said it's a bit like scarlet witch using her telepathy on the sword agents during
wandavision this scene of the volcano exploding might be from early history it's kind of hard
to tell based on the landscape but the theme of the trailer is that the world is ending again
so i think this is meant to highlight that like oh the earth is being threatened many times
throughout history this is sprite in some of the other eternals on kingo's private plane in present
day notice the k on the door in the background remember he's a bollywood star so he would be rich
this is sersi with kit harrington's dane whitman character in present day it seems like she's just
teaching him about the history of the eternals because he's just completely dumbfounded what
is this sorcery these storm clouds that they're watching seem like they're meant to signify the
coming of the celestial host or a coming of a celestial usually they wind up being the main
antagonist in any big eternal story like the deviants sound like they're the villains but
really the celestials are the villains threatening to obliterate the earth then this is the full wide
shot of all the eternals introducing themselves to humans for the first time like i said they keep
going back to the same scene of them introducing themselves for the very first time then they have
the tag scene of them sharing a meal on present day after the events of avengers end game after
it seems like they've gotten all their memories back and had a reunion and sprite asks who do
you think is going to lead the avengers now that captain america and iron man are gone
notice how she says they're both gone not dead which i think is funny i mean post all your
theories about that iron man is supposed to be dead they're supposed to have burned the body and
scattered his ashes across the lake next to his house but there were all the theories on falcon
and winter soldier that people had about captain america secretly being on the moon so i just feel
like that's a funny reference to that them being gone but technically not dead but ikaris says i
could do it and he's actually being serious like i could actually go lead the avengers and the other
just laugh at him like yeah right but that's also meant to be a reference to the eternals eventually
crossing over with the avengers in the next avengers movie like avengers 5 crossing over with
the other marvel cinematic universe characters like thor spider-man doctor strange so it's
like them using this trailer to introduce these really weird characters from these really cool
really weird jack kirby comics they're not mutants but they're just like the next step on the path to
introducing x-men in the mcu full-blown mutants like scarlet witch's children billy and tommy
technically they're mutants because they were born with their powers so the whole idea with
why they didn't help during avengers end game is that at least in the eternal's comic book that
this is based on the neil gaiman comic book one of sprite's special powers is altering people's
memories so in that neil gaiman comic book she makes all the other eternals characters
forget that they're eternal so they forget that they have powers they forget who they are
and they just go about their lives living like normal humans so that's the theory why they didn't
help out during avengers infinity war in avengers endgame but eventually they start getting their
memories back and the story spins up into this big celestial plot also be interested to see if any of
them actually got snapped during avengers infinity war we'll find out about that pretty soon i'm sure
and we'll probably get more footage with kit harrington's dane whitman character because
he is very important for the plot but i think they wanted to use this first big trailer just
to introduce you to the concept of the characters for people who have never read about the eternals
in the comics but hopefully that explains what's going on during the eternals movie and hopefully
there'll be some references to thanos as well because thanos is an eternal but he's an eternal
that was born on titan from a different group of eternals but everyone let me know in the comments
what's your favorite part of the trailer and i will do more eternals videos as we get more
footage and learn more details about the film but like i said we have loki episodes that
are coming up real soon so everyone click here for that brand new loki trailer in easter eggs
and click here for my brand new venom 2 let there be carnage trailer with spider-man easter eggs
thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe and i'll see you guys tonight!
