Now that the trailer for Thor has finally dropped, we learned that the just like in the comics, the Olympian like Zeus gods exist for real as an alien race, just like the Asgardians.
And that's fine if you forget that like three movies ago Eternals established that the real-life Greek mythology were stories based on the Eternal characters instead of these Olympian aliens. But now they're real group of people like the Asgardians, with costumes inspired by Ancient Greece (or was it the other way around?). Did Arishem get in contact with the real Olympians and invent these backstories for the Eternals? Is the goddess Athena that was worshipped in Greece based on Thena from Eternals or Olympian Athena?
It's a bit confusing but obviously we have to wait for the movie to come out etc. But still, it makes me think about how they have to introduce the entire race of vampires in Blade who probably existed since the dawn of time. Oh, and now we have Egyptian gods too! And the mutants are coming someday somehow...
Do you care about lore consistency at all? I sort of care, but at the end of the day GA don't and just want to enjoy their experience.
