YMMV / The Eternals

Go To

For the film, see Eternals

  • Complete Monster: Ghaur, debuting in Vol. 2, is the Priestlord of the Deviants and their de facto ruler. A powerful Deviant who loathes the Eternals, Ghaur attempts to harvest the power of the Celestials to ravage the world and annihilate all Eternals. Defeated, Ghaur abandons the Deviants to embrace the faith of Set and attempts to destroy all Atlantis as a sacrifice for Set, offering heroines for Set to violate and manifest through to consume the world. To hide the fact he has a human-seeming daughter, Ghaur is willing to start a war with Wakanda, killing millions just to ensure the girl dies in the process.

The original 1976 Kirby series

  • Hard-to-Adapt Work: Though the Eternals have never been a major focus of Marvel, with only a handful of short-lived, loosely connected series to their name, there is a lot of lore behind them dating back to the Jack Kirby days, which can make it difficult for new readers (or even seasoned readers) to understand, and is likely why Marvel has so rarely promoted or pushed them in the first place until they made the jump into the MCU.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: In # Margo declares she'd rather die then join the Deviants, in Vol 2 she falls under the mental control of the Deviant Priestlord Ghaur whose minions use a machine to alter her appearance as part of a plot to manipulate Ikaris but she dies in the process.
