[MarioneJamino]

Audience and fans: Why didn't these so-called all-powerful Eternals help the Avengers fight Thanos?
Eternals: *Because we weren't even casted yet during those events.*

[spacejam]

The reason is because, the directors didn't think of the characters until 2019.

[ssj]

In-Universe Reasoning: "Due to the rules the Eternals function by, they determined it was not necessary to intervene in a intergalactic conflict because it-"
Reality: Becuase PLOT said so and Kevin Feige said 'No.'

[Spidey-oisn]

Black Knight: why didn't you guys help fight Thanos?

Eternals: we were instructed not to interfere in any human conflicts unless deviants are involved

Black Knight: but....Thanos was part deviant

Eternals: fuck....that's true....FEIGE!

[fransesco]

“We couldn't interfere in human affairs"
Thanos wasn't a "human" affair?? A space alien rolled up and said he is taking half of the universe. Are they not part of the Universe?

Lazy writing ✍🏾

[a-bomb]

Did they not know that Thanos had the deviant gene?

[ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom]

From the moment Thanos was introduced sitting on that each to the point he was dusted while sitting, never once was mentioned his deviant blood. Isn't it entirely possible that in this adaption, Thanos is not deviant at all?

[TheBuddhaPrime]

But Thanos has the deviant gene that's why he looks like he does which means that realistically they should have

[ma-isqo]

Someone said one of the celestials die and this activates the mutation or x gene passed on from them.

[IcarusDreamRPG]

Well.. Thanos is just part-deviant, so they only part cared :P

[MrCastro]

Kang control the sacred timeline and thus instructed the Eternals to not interfere

[AnimationFanboyk]

Here's my idea for What If...? episode:
What If... The Eternals helped the Avengers, The Guardians, Asgardians, Wakandan Army, The Masters of Mystic Arts, The Dora Milaje, The Valkyries, and The Ravangers to defeat Thanos?

[DeVon]

Thanos doesn't look like the Deviants from the trailer at all so I'm guessing he is just not a Deviant

[stevencisneros]

The Deviants may end up appearing in some MCU films after the Eternals movie!!

[mithathunter]

But doesn’t Thanos have deviant genes? I mean I am not sure if it’s like that in the MCU but I think the fact that MCU Thanos’ parent being the same as comic Thanos mostly confirms it ( we hear about them in the soul stone scene). So doesn’t that mean they should’ve interfered?

[CaliCowboy]

I'm curious to know how kang has manipulated The timeline as far as how the eternals handle everything and do they realize his existence.

[cjpull]

Marvel basically said stop complaining people 😂

[deveraalmestica]

They didn't help because they had no memory that they where the superheroes from of out space just like in the comic.

[garrydejong]

No power in the MCU can stand against Kevin's retcon cannon

[Razorjaw]

Because their film wasn’t being made when Endgame came out
