I think he was supposed to be the film's comic relief. Most of the Eternals were more serious besides the Bollywood eternal.

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.

I could see "I'm gonna frick you up", but I never saw a

My assumption was that Ikarus was always a bit of an a-hole. But nobody dared question him. The issue is the movie never showed a glimpse of that.

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.

I thought they were going to have that Deviant make a turn to actually assist the Eternals in stopping the Celestial from being born. His character becoming intelligent was incredibly wasted.

So lemme get this straight.

The Eternals (which let's be real, are just a cosmic, poor man's avengers with characters nobody ever gave a shite about), couldn't get involved in the Thanos war because the Deviants weren't involved?

THANOS IS A DEVIANT!!!!!!!!

(Or at least had the Deviant gene, if you want to get technical, but regardless it's bullshite, just like this whole movie... Which was absolutely atrocious.)

And what the hell was going on in the post credits with what looked like Harry Stiles dressed up as a bad imitation of Shazam. Man that was bad. Like really bad. And are we really getting a bad cgi leprechaun Patton Oswalt??? That site was straight out of Labyrinth...

All that leads me to say, What the hell is Marvel even doing now? Eternals made recent DC movies look like masterpieces.

Damn this movie was bad. It was also a constant reminder of how much I miss the glory days of Game of Thrones with Harrington and Robb Stark on screen.

And speaking of Jon Snow, who the hell is he supposed to be? The fricking Highlander?? (which was so much better of story about immortals its not even funny).

No, it never did.

yes, it was. And they actually went 95% to that point, only to have the mindless "no, we still have to kill Deviants" moment.

They said "if it absorbs Ikarus's energy, we won't be strong enough to stop Tiamet". But it had already absorbed Ajak AND Gilgamesh... so without the Deviant they were minus 1 from the plan, minus 2 from the original team. Add the Deviant to the group (take Gilgamesh's bracelet for example), we're back at full strength.
