Sersi has Dane, but he's barely in the movie.I wouldn't be surprised if Arishem is always experimenting with new models and designs for his Eternals because things are always going wrong - from his perspective; Eternals always go astray in one way or another, and Arishem hasn't learned his lesson yet. There are gaps in the Eternals' understanding of the Celestials and their doings, and i hope that gets followed up on in future MCU offerings.Same. It's really sticking with me. Part of what got me thinking about things was going over it with my wife and daughter after we saw it. They didn't like some things, and having read some of the comics and read a few things about the movie I was able to explain a few things, but some stuff was more conceptual and tonal. The notion that (some? all?) planets (only ones capable of supporting life?) are created by Celestials and have a sleeping Celestial in them is...a lot to swallow. That and the fact that the Eternals were involved in human history and affected it in significant ways, and how Phastos lamented nudging technology - there's something a little patronizing about their attitude, and it begs the kind of questions any "ancient astronaut" stuff does: do we need them to explain human advancements and survival? This movie says we do/did?I didn't quite catch that Gilgamesh and Enkidu fight - how was it protrayed? Sprite was telling the story, right?"Tragic nature of the group" hits the nail on the head, I think. This movie is as much a tragedy as one is likely to get in a "super hero movie". It's a very sad movie in a lot of ways, and I got teary-eyed multiple times.</blockquote>
