  • I like how everything connects in the Marvel Universe, in some way.
  • @smallNTG
    This is actually the best eternals explanation I’ve listened to
  • @robkenner5456
    This is the most comprehensive history I have seen of the Eternals and how it ties into the Deviants, the Uranian (Marvel Boy), and the Etenals on Titan.
  • @goredongoredon
    I've been reading comics off and on since the 70s when the Eternals were first introduced and I really enjoyed how you were able to weave all the different recons and subplots together into one fascinating video. There was a lot here that I didn't know such as the recon of 50s Timely hero Mercury/Hurricane and the connection between Marvel Boy, the Crusader and Quasar. Fun!
  • @tbcat2001
    You are by far one of the best comic youtubers out there, it is a pity you arent more famous u.u. Please, continue you good work!!
  • Gotta admit, their story is kind of a mess, but you put together a really good roadmap for it.
  • @wiseguy3675
    This was by far the most thorough and informative video I have seen on the Eternals so far. Great job!
  • @mikevivian3648
    I read the eternals back in the 70's but was never able to finish the series. Now I know what happened. Thanks for filling in the blanks. One of kirby's best works I think!
  • @johnnygyro2295
    24:19 I'd say Kro is wrong, but this is the same universe where Norman "Green Goblin" Osborn became the head of HAMMER... Edit: While the Eternal-Celestial story gets convoluted at times, I once again appreciate how connected the Marvel universe is. Also, that Jack Kirby art is downright beautiful.
  • @jamcalx
    I actually dislike the whole "can't reproduce with each other" thing instead them just rarely have children, as they are so long lived that they don't feel the need to have children like humans do because of aging and losing the ability.
  • @Private-Potato
    Perfect timing with the video. I just started reading the original eternals comics.
  • Best explanation of the creation of the Eternals I have seen. Great video!
  • @essteex4656
    Dude I been rocking with this channel for some months now and im a big fan of your work! Keep it coming bro! Great narration too! Thanks
  • @vexisonline
    I'm very glad to have found your videos. The comprehensive nature of your channel and the pleasant storytelling combined with the original panels is marvellously satisfying my curiosity. Thank you.
  • @MisterH1984
    I was on an mcu discussion podcast recently and had to do research for eternals and was looking for a video to supplement my reading of Jack Kirbys run, Neil gaimans run and Gilliams run. And I have to say this is the BEST one I have watched and I have watched easily a dozen of these eternals history/breakdown videos. Well done bro bravo.
  • I see you even listed Marvel Universe 6 - 7. You have a better list than most other online sites. Shows your passion. I liked those issues with Mercury hunting down Giant Monsters.
  • @shadowhawk3933
    You and comics explained are honestly the most in depth comics you tubers and I always enjoy your content
  • Excelent video. The sheer amount of research into this subject is staggering. One final note about the Eternals, I absolutely hate The Neil Gaiman limited edition. To me it seemed like Gaiman had barely done any research into the Eternals and come up with a half baked story that had little to do with the source material.
