      Today’s Eternals rant is not about how boring the Eternals are. It’s about the one undeniably awesome part of the mythos Kirby created around them: the Celestials. 1/

      Now— as has been well-covered on here— Kirby originally created the Eternals/ Deviants/ Celestials mythos for Marvel but outside Marvel continuity, was reluctant to bring it into continuity, and mostly it was other writers (Gruenwald, Thomas, Stern) who joined everything up. 2/

      This didn’t do the even-more-boring-by-comparison Eternals any favors, other than linking them up to Starlin’s much more interesting Thanos. But it did the Marvel universe a huge favor by grabbing the Celestials— one of Kirby’s greatest visual designs— for main continuity. 3/

      One of the cool things about the Celestials in main continuity is: the genetic mucking around they did with early humanity that immediately generated the Eternals and the Deviants also had long-term consequences. It created lots of potential and mutability in the human genome. 4/

      In other words, it’s the explanation for why eventually the Kree experiments were so successful with humanity as to create Inhumans, and for why eventually mutants emerged— in both cases at cosmic power levels (Black Bolt, Franklin Richards— don’t @ me— Legion, Proteus…) 5/ 5/

      … as well as what makes humans genetically plastic enough to turn into powerhouses like the Fantastic Four or the Hulk when bombarded with radiation that should kill them. 6/

      Want to know something funny about the MCU? It doesn’t have mutants. It was going to have Inhumans, but Feige pretends Agents of SHIELD didn’t exist, and everyone pretends the Inhumans series didn’t exist. It doesn’t have a Fantastic Four. 7/

      I always thought the X-Men concept works better if it's seen as its own thing and not part of Marvel universe. I mean a world that accepts the Hulk and spiderman isn't going to focus on just mutants as a threat.
