MCU - Running Easter Egg: Eternity (large image + gifs)

OP
OP
The beings have names that usually directly call out their innate "purpose" or existence. Like Death is supposed to be the literal embodiment of the concept. It's kinda like when you see something that just makes sense and you call it out for what it is, regardless of the language. Like Zero/Null/Nothing. You know that there's nothing when you see nothing.
I'm pretty sure that the MCU won't touch on some super insanely obscure stuff. They'll usually save the obscurities for Easter Eggs and such, but most likely won't have any mainline focus on them. Although I personally think that'd would be cool to see, but it would probably fuck with the brains of the general audiences.
Could this mean that the dusted have seen Death or will they see Death when they get undusted?
Would be cool if true!
Would be cool if true!
Like, these COULD be easter eggs, but they could just be nothing. They're poorly set up ones and require far too much to understand and convey to the screen which is why Perer knowing its name is really weird. Marvel could come around and say it was intentional but then it just becomes really poorly done easter eggs.
That's a stretch. I will give you the GotG2 reference though. I recognized that one in the moment.

I don't think the dusted characters actually see Death as they're just absorbed into the Soul Stone.
Gamora and Loki, however, if revived in some non-time travel shenanigans (possibly through the power of the Soul Stone) could have claimed to have seen Death.
These beings actually require a lot to understand them even in the comics, so it's fair to say their MCU counterparts would require the same.
Disappointed we didn't get this in Infinity War.Eternity and especially Infinite stay out of stuff unless you go looking for them. The lesser anthromorphications usually get involve long before they do. guys like Order and Chaos.
They're saving the big "death of all cosmic god beings" scene for Secret Wars
I think you're giving too much credit to the MCU to pull off something of that scale.
Would think growing up in space you'll hear of the lores etc beyond earth knowledge tbf
I saw it as more that his mind had been opened to this cosmic awareness which allows him to name check Eternity. He's obviously not himself in that moment and Ego puts him in that "trance" in an attempt to get him to see the bigger picture and stop caring about his friends. I would bet that he barely remembers anything he said after he snapped out of that.
If they're already planning to include the eternals, I wish they had just found a way to integrate Death for Thanos. It's silly, but it makes more sense than the "limited resources" explanation we got.
Normally I would say that this is stretching it, but Kevin Feige is known to think 10 steps ahead.
Look what you did with all your shameless Avatar trolling, Era.
You took a perfectly fine Sculli and gave him spite.

Except Nightmare hasn't been directly mentioned within the MCU itself *rolls eyes*
Yeah, excluding Death was a huge decision and it took away a lot from Thanos as a whole. The Eternals are definitely in the pipeline though.
They even had that great tease at the end of Avengers 1. "To challenge them would be to court death"
yeah it's a whimsically tenuous stretch
perhaps analogous to listing 1 instance of Eternity being mentioned and 3 instances of him not appearing as a body of evidence

OP
Let's not jump to conclusions here, they managed to pull off a scaled down version of the Infinity Saga, which isn't an easy task to do, but definitely seemed "impossible" if you were to say something like this back in like 2008. The fact that Fiege and team pulled this off over 10 years - which included doing all the heavy lifting of universe building and concept introductions, the next 10 years we can expect to see some more insane over the top shit like that at a much faster pace.
If they Marvel was able to retcon that little kid from IM2 as young Peter Parker, anything is possible.
I'd go out on a limb and say that further supports the existence of these entities within the MCU.
They did universe building by introducing characters from different corners of the MCU, they have barely scratched the surface when it comes to the crazier stuff and when they do mention the crazier stuff, it's held back because I don't know why.
If this is from Ant Man I'm 99% sure that's supposed to be a tease for Wasp. It's even mentioned in the second film which is why they can connect with each other.
The only eternity references are in the guardians films
Also based on the OP wouldn't Dr Strange and Ant Man see INFINITY rather than eternity? One is getting infinitely smaller while the other is seeing the infinite dimensions of the multiverse
Justice for Sculli! The joke could only be made once and he beat us all to it.
Eternity and especially Infinite stay out of stuff unless you go looking for them. The lesser anthromorphications usually get involve long before they do. guys like Order and Chaos.
You'd probably see The living tribunal before even them.
