SPOILERS!
The Eternals mid-credits scene brought an incredibly surprising reveal--Harry Styles as the Eternal Starfox: AKA The Brother of THANOS. We explain what exactly this means, their relations hip in the comics, and whether or not Thanos could be an Eternal. Also, Patton Oswalt's character Pip the Troll, who we hope goes on to team up with Adam Warlock in future MCU movies.

Happy Eternals day ♥️♥️
Wow didn't realised why Thanos was right 😳😳😳😳😳he wanted to prevent the Emergence
Just a Thought, but what if the eternals being space robots is also a lie 🤔 I mean Arishem didn't tell them their true mission, and every emergence their memories are altered, so what's the reason not to believe they are being lied to Again
According to Genesis, Earth is 7000 years old similar to when Eternals came to Earth.
What about how Arishem was damaged? We first see him with a perfectly intact body but the third time we see him he has a huge gash on his torso and looks like he was in an epic fight. We know Celestials can be decapitated, the head of a Celestial has been used as a meeting place in the MCU many times already.
I find it Ironic that in Loki they say "Do a lot of people not know that their robots?" Which makes a lot of sense now since the eternals didn't know that they were robots.
That their robots what?
Oh shit I didn’t realize that til now. Good catch
Bro I was thinking the same thing like even small dialogue make sense now.
@@bhavyamkapoor2933 Eternals was supposed to come out last year before Loki. So it's possible that exact line was a jab toward the Eternals.
in reality we are kinda robots ourselves since the thought is our soul powers our body
About half the girls in the theater squealed and screamed when Harry appeared on screen. I’d say they nailed the casting 😂
I’m old, so I didn’t know who it was. But I knew I it was SOMEBODY because of the reaction in the theater. (My teenage daughter filled me in)
Definitely nailed the casting as per usual with Marvel
My Gf gasped harder then I’ve ever heard her gasp before when he popped out 😞
@@Valuemeal_papi even i gasped, I was not expecting to see him in a marvel film
@@Valuemeal_papi bro. That’s tuff
Thumbs up just for the cute kitty.
I scrolled looking for comments about the cat! So cute
Or the two ladies sensed something because Eros can manipulate attraction
That's a great theory
Good theory, perfect. But wait, he can't influence males to be attracted to him as well?
@@Kris_AB but he typically focuses on women
Or something adjacent for the MCU
Wow that’s a good theory but it’s probably true cus it make sense even more
My concern with Thanos being part Deviant is that surely he Eternals COULD have intervened because the threat was indeed Deviant related.
From what I understand the Eternals only recognize Deviants based on how they look and Thanos looks nothing like the Deviants they fought.
Plot hole
@@gofaku3 he kind of does. Looking at it now u can def tell he’s got deviant sna
But how could he bleed ?
@@lifeofbrandon_ ?
Patton Oswald was the perfect choice for Pip. Also, he's the second Great Expectations reference in the movie. They called Makari _"Mrs Havisham"_ when they found her hording shit in the Domo.
He gave Thanos the Reality Gem as he knew Thanos would be smart enough NOT to use it without the insurance policy of the time Stone Gem to undo any mistakes
I would like to point out that on the finale sprite was not taken by the celestial, and it's the only one remaining on earth, that knows something is happening
Yes because she's human now right?
Yes I would hope she wasn’t taken since as a human she’d die a horrible death by being dragged into outer space
Wait was Phastos taken too?
@@memelicker6437 ye he was
Haha why?
Pip was of the members of the original Infinity Watch; Adam Warlock, Pip, Gamora, Drax, Maxam, and the powerful Moondragon. When Maxam left, Adam gave the reality stone to a reformed Thanos. We need this team in the cosmic MCU.
Honest question, since Loki I’ve been so confused as to who is in charge of the universe? Is it Kang? The celestials? The watcher from what if? Are they aware of each other??
In the comics it’s a being called “Eternity” who is supposed to be the living embodiment of the multiverse.
Great question. I would like a valid answer to this as well as it seems there are many loopholes throughout the mcu
basically in the comics there is the One Above All which is basically like the God of the multiverse and shit he's basically the most powerful being in the marvel comics but there are other powerful beings such as the Celestials, Eternity and Infinity, The Watchers etc etc. But nothing more powerful than the One Above All
well. the one who remains(kang) watches over the timeline and makes sure that there are no universes that create a new kang and end up making the mutiversal war. the celestials are like the god of their respective universe. the watcher just watches and cant interfere. so the person who is in charge of the universe is probably eternity aka the embodiment of the multiverse.
@@andrewchilds2704 no, it is The One Above All. Eternity has been defeated multiple times.
Did you notice that when the deviant absorbed the life force out of the Eternals in the movie he became more and more humanoid, what if on titan a deviant was successful to do so with more than just 2 Eternals, would they become human in appearance? And since the deviant can bread normally, would it explain Thanos having deviant gene and having a brother? I can see this being the plot twist of the next Eternals movie
That would be cool and acceptable to me. I get the MCU is its own thing sure. Just would like some similarity somewhere.
Eternals: “We we’re told not to interfere unless Deviants were involved” Thanos: “Am I a joke to you?”
@@MikeTaffet Damn, you beat me to the punch. I was going to post that comment as well. Both of Thanos's parents were Eternals. His mother went loco and later on Thanos killed his father after he told Thanos his cancer was incurable. Also, his brother Eros became a "vessel" for Thanos to be resurrected. Everything that Thanos touches dies. Be safe and be 😎
@@MikeTaffet it was never established in the MCU that Thanos is a deviant... even in the comics he's an eternal with a deviant gene and not a deviant
I can see that theory, but the deviants were already semi-humanoid in the comics just looked like trolls or Ogres.
I personally LOVED the movie. It was just so good. Ofc it was kinda sad that they killed Ajak and especially Gilgamesh. But i didn't really care about Ajak. Gilgamesh was really good tho. But i've heard that in the comics eternals died and then were brought back somehow so.. Makkari is easily the best live action speedster. Her fight scene against Ikaris was PERFECT Ikaris was also REALLY great. Also his fight scenes were so well made And ofc other characters were also so interesting and good but yeah 9,8-10/10 for me. Easily in my top 3 favourite marvel projects and also the runtime didn't bother me. I loved the whole 2,5h. There wasn't a single scene where i was like "could this already end" or "how long is this taking oh my god".
Ajak was so hot. Smh
Did we watch the same film here....? It was boring and basically a very long introduction to characters literally visually beautiful but shocking storyline
The portal reminded me of the What If… multiverse walls that the watched stayed in
I really thought Thor was about to appear on that ship.
An interesting take on Thanos being part deviant could tie into his drive to eliminate life just like the other deviants. He wipes out half of all life on planets because his deviant blood drives him to do so. Maybe he himself is not aware of his eternal/deviant ancestry though. Just a thought
Also halving the universal population vastly slows down the emergence of new Celestials not just on Earth but across the entire universe.
You are a master of how you add your sponsorships into you me videos. It’s so smooth it feels apart of the story you are telling 😂🙌🏾
Harry Styles was great on Dunkirk! I'm excited with what Marvel will do with him throughout the movies. MCU fans and One Direction fans about to bump up the Eternals audience scores!!
Honest question after hearing what his character does in the comics (sexual assault trail) and knowing his power set is making women sleep with him (meaning they didn’t want to in the first place so “makes” them) does it change the way you feel about Eros?
@@Benito722 im pretty sure the mcu will stay away from the problematic ideas from the source material the way they stayed away from using fu manchu in shang-chi. I just hope whatever retcon or revision they make for eros would fit society’s standards and harry as an actor
He's not that good of an actor. He's also not attractive (I'm in that majority where I don't find him attractive because duh, I'm not a product of general dipshit)!
@@wiinterflowers4277 its giving very much "i'm not like other girls" get a life lmao
@@wiinterflowers4277 “im not like other girls”
The moment I saw Pip teleport I jumped on and started screaming. It instantly brought me back to when The Infinity Watch was first formed after the Infinity saga's back in the 90's. Anyone closely familiar with Adam Warlock or Eros would have recognized Pip straight away. Now we have Drax, Gamora, and Pip!! I have no idea who Harry Styles is or One Direction (do not care) so I thought the casting for Eros was brilliant. He really fits well and the costume looks fantastic! The eternals being taken away for JUDGMENT is clearly a direct setup for the LIVING TRIBUNAL in a later movie For me this was probably the most hype credit scene after teasing Adam Warlock (and subsequently never fucking delivering on that!)
This film blew me away. Masterpiece beautiful art, amazing action, amazing themes. People are going to look back on this film in the coming years. I can tell Jack Kirby got inspiration from Chariots of the Gods.
Ah, Ancient Aliens, a man of culture I see.
The best part is , It's not just a superhero action movie . It's an artistic representation of human philosophy too .
It was a solid 7/10
Movie was a bland 6/10. Messy themes and pacing. Corny forgettable CGI bad guy.
Critics are out to lunch on Eternals. That movie was awesome. Gorgeous, touching, funny. The story made total sense, start-to-finish. It wasn't "messy" or "bloated" or whatever stupid words the critics have been using. Seriously I just watched it, and what the hell were they talking about? Did we watch the same movie? Maybe they were just genuinely too stupid to follow the story cuz it was pretty clear. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is rocketing above the critics' score as I speak, so clearly the critics are outta touch and have no clue what people actually like. I love the new Phase 4 direction of the MCU and can't wait to see what their next era of movies brings.
Nah I am MCU fan but I don't loved it , everyone has their own taste of movie but this movie was freaking bad for me.
I didn’t think the movie was amazing... but it certainly was something new, different and creative... unlike black widow 😤
That whole movie was a snooze fest. It was beautiful but so boring
I thought it was great. Solid 8/10.
3/10. Bad acting, poor dialogue, no chemistry with the cast, forcing the family stuff by just constantly repeating it instead of showing it in ways that make the audience believe it. These characters don’t feel 7,000 years old, Cercei has no defining traits and the actress can’t act. Just so bad all around
your cat is very excited to hear your breakdowns
4:38 In addition to the four Koenig brothers (Eric, Billy, Sam, and Thurston), Patton Oswalt also played their grandfather Ernest Koenig. 10:08 Zuras and A’Lars are brothers, meaning that Thena is the cousin of Thanos and Starfox.
3:21 Hot dang! This was the smoothest slickest most seamless product placement transition EVER in ANY KZhead video. The trophy goes to..... (deserving some credit I think)
Ryan it's simple. In the movie eternals cro evolved each time it absorbed an eternal. It also gained the eternals memories, which basically means Thanos was once an eternal like Eros, but was absorbed by a deviant on Titan and Titan was then overrun by the deviants and is actually a deviant planet. This is also how Eros is Thanos brother still in the MCU So basically eternal Thanos became deviant Thanos when the memories passed over.
Patton is also playing Matthew The Raven in Netflix's The Sandman
So Koenig's long lost brother is alien royalty? So much makes sense now 😂
Lmao it never even occurred to me that Patton was already in the MCU
I love your summaries! I’m an MCU fan with some knowledge of comics but not geek knowledge. You’ve helped me a lot! Anyway, there’s still something I’m not getting: if The Eternals were charged with removal of Deviants as the only allowable way to save humanity, and Thanos has Deviant lineage, why weren’t they sent to help the Avengers?
The teleport of Eros made me think it was the same as in venom.
It looked more like the bifrost kind of to me or more like the spaceships tractor beam
i fr was thinking Thor was coming since it looks like the bifrost, but then we remember what happened to him 💀 BUTTT, we’re thinking Eros will be in Guardians of The Galaxy vol. 3, so we’re going to get some Thor x Eros screenplay 🛐🛐🛐
@@acrxlic-183 realized it wasn't Thor shortly after as the bifrost doesn't even appear like that. Not only did some weird troll walk out of the portal, but if it truly was Thor transporting to the ship, he would've destroyed the ship on accident with the bifrost.
@@ytyoungrichnhigh yeah, i realized it wasn’t almost instantly. it was that small amount of hope i had 😭
@@acrxlic-183 true
1:23 the glassy appearance of the portal reminds me of doctor strange when he first time used the time stone in the library on an apple (which was SICK) and the glass dimension thing started to appear
Hi there! Love your videos. Can you make a video explaining MCU magic types? Their comparison to each other. Even their difference from science. 😍😍😍
I swear I recognized Oswald's voice right away at that cutscene I like how he was in the show Parks and recreation holding up a meeting talking about the MCU crossing over with the Star wars universe lol you know that man loves OG comics
Patton Oswald was BRILLIANT as agent keonig (not sure on the spelling,) on agents of shield and I'm so pumped that hes stepping up to the big marvel pictures.
That commercial was so smooth wow !
I like how they cast Harry Styles as Eros....very meta. Don't actually know if the dude can act or not though cuz Starfox is one f*cked up character in the comics.
he can act better than many people in the MCU
Just watch Dunkirk
You are absolutely right about Starfox. 😎
Meta?
@@intothefrayyo Just look up any footage of one of his concerts lol
When Cerci explained why they didn't get involved helping the Avengers fight Thanos. They could if there were Deviants; last time I checked Thanos is a Eternal and Deviant. Be safe and be 😎
He's not a deviant. He just has a deviant gene
Soooooo much new to me information!
I don’t understand the fascination with Patton Oswald, but casting him as a troll is oddly fitting because that’s the part he plays IRL on Twitter
Wow one of the rare people who sees the truth.
Pip wasn't even a troll to begin with. He was prince of an alien race that resembled humans. One night he got so drunk off an alien alcohol he transformed into a troll. The transformation left him so psychologically degenerate that his people kicked out and stripped him of rank and title. This is his literal backstory.
@@ScionStorm1 Oddly similar to most people before they got behind a keyboard
The Foreigner song when he talked about finding your friends kinda made me think it could be a run in with the Guardians, since classic rock/pop are so prevalent in those movies... possibility?
Your cat looks alot like my cat, Doom :). Love your vids! Keep on Shining Brother.
Patton Oswalt was in "Blade Trinity," also.
The casting of Starfox: Yay or nay?
I don't mind. As long as he does a good job.
i think he fits! i hope they write him well/he portrays it well!
Nay
Yay, comic accurate
That was a good N64 game, I especially like the falcon guy
Starfox being an Eternal proves that Arishem was full of shit. He showed Cersi those visions and explained the universe to her in the way that justified his plan. He didn't show her Harry Styles, he showed her what he wanted her to know, like The Architect told Neo what he needed to reset the Matrix
Awesome video 🤩🐲🌞🌳
Lol, you had me with the seamless transition into the sponsor ad and then I skipped ahead.
NO...Ryan. Eros power is his pheromones in the comics and thats why only the ladies could sense him. They were sensing his pheromones. Druig is not attracted to men therefore he wasn't caught up in Eros power.
Some people in the audience at the theater giggled in recognition when that guy appeared in that scene. I had no idea who the actor was, so I was only trying to understand the dialog.
I said “what the fuck” in the movie theater when he appeared, which gave everybody a good laugh. i’m sure everybody was thinking the same thing
I was so excited to see Pip and Starfox show up in that mid credit scene. Seeing Pip only strengthens the inevitable introduction of one of my favorite Cosmic characters and that’s Adam Warlock. Marvel and James Gunn have been teasing Adam Warlock since 2017s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and in all honesty, his proper introduction is long overdue as-well as being a key figure as the MCU’s Cosmic side moves forward.
I never would have thought I'd be interested in seeing Harry Styles in the mcu, I really don't like his music, but after seeing him in Dunkirk I'm open minded to see what he can do as an actor
I think it was the reality stone, love the trivia questions !
9:00 since the eternals don't die, procreation would in fact lead to insufficiency of resources. Especially if there were any other ordinary (mortal) life forms coexisting on Titan that needed to partake in some of that planet's food & other resources. If you don't die but do multiply then you eventual have to export people to other planets, or run out of space & resources.
Thank you for the spoiler warning this time. I'll check back in with you after I watch the movie
Great video, but I kept hoping you'd hold the cat and pet it throughout, like the Blofeld of easter eggs.
I loved patton on Agents of SHIELD actually kills me that they now consider that non canon. Patton played like 7 different version of brothers of Eric Koenig it was great!
I loved him as Eric Koenig in AoS. the recon to Koenig brothers was TV schlock crapolla. another part of the show that ran it off the rails it was barely on.
He cracked me up smoothly coming in to advertising Hone lol
Seeing Harry Styles was such a lovely surprise for me.. I’m surprised I never saw a single spoiler about him being in this movie !!! Pure happiness 🥰
I cannot lie those post credit scenes gave me goosebumps
It gave me goosebumps thinking that out of all the characters in the comics they decided to include a serial rapist
@@Benito722 lmao this nigga
Harry styles is the brother of Thanos…. Yea I’m good on the MCU post infinity saga
Your little tuxy cat is beautiful :3
Im pretty sure Sprite wasn’t taken. Just Sersei, Kingo and Phastos. But I could be wrong
omg the cat is so cute!!! haha
Your flurkin is flurking 😊
(Finally watched Eternals last weekend) The teleportation looked pretty rainbowy to me iirc... like I think I audibly questioned if that was bifrost shenanigans heh.
Nice
would be interesting to see them dive deeper into thanos back story
Yeah... Kindergarten Thanos backstory
nah. the more they retcon, the more it falls apart. it's like a lie that keeps growing
Had to watch this twice. Half way through the first time I realized I was only paying attention to the cat 🐈
GENE!
My thing is idk why everyone focuses on “thanos was deviant why didn’t eternals go after him?” How about thanos plan directly affecting and delaying the emergence, but Arishem was like “ehh it’ll be fine”
For a creature several billion years old, a slight delay isn't much. Even if it noticeably slows the progression of the whole universe. A delay is just a delay.
I love the movie for what it will bring to the MCU world and how everyone ties together to fight my guess is Galactus...I'm sure the fight won't be like on Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Thanks had the reality Stone!
Omg the kitty 😺
Lovely cat
6:55 Ryan.. it's almost as if you're not trying .. in the most recent run of the Eternals comics they find out that while yes they are immortal, it's only because after they die they can be resurrected by the Great Machine - of course there's other stuff to it but it shouldn't be hard to grasp that the version we got in the movie wasn't that far off.
yeah. i know. how could he not know that, right?
Oh my kittie! She/he's so perfect! I had to put my baby down Jan 6th 21 and still can't bring myself to do the right thang and adopt another kittie. Your black and white kittie is awesome!
Eros reminds me of Prince Harry- gallivanting as a young adult then settling down
9:51 VERY CAT
The soul stone!
I don't know why everyone is hating on eternals I genuinely love it. Biggest gripe is that it should have been a television series instead of a movie. That way we really could have gotten to know all of the characters Well enough so that when they died we felt something.
9:51 when your cat looks exactly like you, the same eye and expression, the likeness is uncanny.
There is still time to cast James Brolin as A'lars/Mentor
I have been saying this for years
some kind of cake - you're not wrong
There are multiple teams currently formed or in the process of being formed. We have: 1. The remaining members of the basic Avergers. 2. The Dark Avengers/ Thunderbolts 3. The Guardians of the Multiverse 4. The Young Avergers 5. The Midnight Suns 6. A space based team with the the Eternals and the Guardians of the Galaxy,
Hey my buddy pointed out that if your theory of Thanos being an eternal that had dormant deviant DNA, the Eternals would have been able to intervene with the snap because Thanos was part deviant. So that theory would hypothetically be out
but they wouldn't know that Thanos was a deviant or eternal since they only have the information they were programmed to have
Does anyone else think that Aros / Eternals may show up in Guardians of The Galaxy 3? Think about the music cue - “Feels like first time” was released in 1977 and Peter Quill is famous for his love of 70s music in the MCU I think the playing in a space scene just feels a little too close to GOTG for it not to be connected
The cgi of Pip was garbage.
Props to the CGI crew. I'm sure it would have been better with more time. Remember what Thanos looked like when we 1st saw him 😂😆
I know! He looked like Mr Hyde from Van Helsing lmao
@@mspark933 The movie was postponed from November 2020. How much time would they need?
ikr
I was so geeked when I saw Pip show up in the end but got really disappointed when I found out he is being voiced by Patton Oswalt.
Your cat is cool!
Perfect casting of Harry, I always knew he'd end up being the most famous and biggest star from One Direction 😂❤🤭
He was awful. Plus I don't care about Harry Styles at all.
pretty great cat content
I always wonder if screen crush is filmed in a blockbuster that went out of business
The Soul Stone of course.
The Eternals did nothing when Thanos came onto the scene. If he was in any way a Deviant, wouldn't that make him eligible for confrontation?
Guess he wasn’t enough deviant for them to care💀 I mean he doesn’t even look like the other deviants in the movies
why are we trying to make a sprawling, interconnected piece of fiction make sense? it's just a straight up plot hole that wasn't retconned well
cool
Just throwing this out there: could eros' orb in fact be the seventh infinity stone?
Ryan; Did you put Catnip on the counter to keep your cat around?
Reality gem
Maybe those robot detection devices in Loki are in fact intended to detect Eternals.
I just wonder what is to become of Tiamut in the future. "What's that over there!?" Oh, don't worry about it. It's just a giant ice mountain that reaches outer space. Lmao
Druig is my favorite character
Here’s my theory: Titan is a planet much like earth. It has a Celestial seed inside, a population of beings to grow to the point to bring on the emergence, a set of Deviants trying to destroy them, and a set of Eternals to protect them. Alars is the prime Eternal. Thanos and Eros are among his “family”. I think the MCU is going for a looser meaning of father/brothers with regards to Eternals. But just as the Deviants on earth evolved and absorbed the powers of Eternals, I think that’s where they’re going to explain Thanos. We see Kro nearly evolve completely into an equal. He even seems to be channeling the sentience of Gilgamesh. So I think Thanos is the final evolution of that Deviant process of consuming all the Eternals on Titan except Eros, who escapes with the orb. Kro becomes aware that the Celestials are killing them with every emergence despite being their creation, so would it be a stretch to say Thanos would seek the same?
Thats a great theory, it makes a lot of sense I guess especially the family in the more loose terms
What is that cat on because damn 😍
