BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
This movie starts off with too many words. But no fun music like Star Wars, so I didn't read it.
Cut to a triangle flying close to something that looks like the sun. Inside, these folks in funny robes stand back against a wall when a voice says it is time. This gold stuff turns into their suits. Apparently they don't know each other.
It's 5000 BC in Mesopotamia and a crazy sea monster eats this kid's dad. Suddenly, this superhero flies in and takes that monster down. We see the other heroes take down other monsters. We got a group of 10 superheroes on our hands. They stand in V formation and wait for the people to thank them. One of the heroes leans down and hands a kid a knife.
Here's who we have:
Ikaris: basically Superman
Sersi: can like mess with matter
Thena: creates a weapon out of pure cosmic energy
Kingo: laser fingers
Phastos: creates advanced weapons and technology
Makkari: basically the Flash
Druig: mind control
Gilgamesh: Hulk but not green
Sprite: can change the appearance of things and appears as a child
Ajak: the spiritual leader and healer who serves as the primary communicator with their Celestial creator
Cut to present day and that knife is in a museum as an artifact that shaped history.
The Eternals are still alive, cuz they're eternal. Sersi and Sprite live together in London. Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier. She's moved on and is now in a relationship with human Dane. When the trio is attacked by a monster like in the beginning. They're called Deviants.
Ikaris arrives just in time to save the day.
The Eternals were under the assumption there were no more Deviants. Which is why the Eternals haven't been in action for the past 500 years.
We see a flashback of when Sersi and Ikaris got together…and I mean got together. #NotMyMarvel. They end up getting married.
Back in the present, the 3 Eternals make it to South Dakota expecting to meet up with Ajak, only to find her dead.
So it's time to get the band back together to figure out what to do next.
Sersi is the new leader and meets with Arishem - the Celestial that sent the Eternals to Earth. Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the Emergence of a new Celestial. See, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the apex predators of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but the Deviants evolved and started eating said intelligent life. So he created the Eternals to fight them. Now that the population of humans has reached the necessary size to allow the new Celestial to be born, Earth will be no more.
Sersi doesn't love this and tells everyone else.
Everyone is down to stop the plan. Everyone except for Ikaris. We find out that Ajak wanted to stop the Emergence and save humanity, so he led her to the Deviants and allowed them to kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris cuz she's in love with Ikaris while Kingo chooses to leave, agreeing with Ikaris but not wanting to hurt his friends.
