  1. I saw this a couple of days ago with a friend who said, "This is supposed to be the Marvel movie that most closely follows the comics!" So after seeing it, I went home and perused the internet to find out, nah. Not even close. In the comics, none of the Eternals are one-power beings, but instead have a suite of powers all in common to include strength, high resilience to damage, FLIGHT, and teleportation (though some were apparently better at teleporting than others). Then they each had an extra 'something' that they were either alone in, or at least FAR better with than the others. - Also, they weren't robots or manufactured beings, but humans evolved by the Celestials, much like the Inhumans were. And, Druig was the bad guy Eternal in the comics. - So, the movie Eternals could hardly be farther from the comics' Eternals if the writers tried. - I agree with CD. WAY too many brand new characters. We could have done without Gilgamesh and Thena, and the speedster whose name I can never remember, as well as Kango. Side note, does it bother ANYONE that the character Kango is portrayed as a major influence in Indian culture, acts in generations of Bollywood films, and is played by a Pakistani comedian/actor? Don't get me wrong, I like Kumail Nanjiani as an actor and a comedian. I can only assume the role was written that way because either the writers knew nothing about Pakistani culture, and/or we the audience are expected to know nothing about Pakistani culture.
