re: Eternals on Disney + today

While it was a solid way to pass time, there were lots of things that could have been done better.

Sersi- turned a deviant into a tree... that wasn't killing it. A tree is still alive, it's a plant. You have a loophole. I remember thinking that when they were talking about her 'killing' the deviant.
We go from that, to turning Tiamet (Celestial) into... ice? No loophole. No payoff on that.

Who in the name of God thought the Bollywood guy tagging along was a good idea for this film? Why is this guy so at peace while they discuss the impending end of the world, and whether they should do anything to stop it?

Why did we need a gay kiss?

WHY did gay dude say he's been wanting to clip Ikarus' wings? They were on the same side for 7000 yrs, until 20 minutes before that moment. Ikarus never imposed anything on them, always deferred to Ajak (outwardly), always worked with them. He just simply stuck to the mission, at the end. I could see "I'm gonna frick you up", but I never saw a reason to resent him. If anything, the resentment should have been towards Ajak for holding him back.

What's the deal with the Deviant? Was it special, or was it able to heal because it killed and absorbed Ajak? You start to make them the misunderstood heroes, then go right back to killing them; such a wasted chance at a neat twist.
