So in conclusion, its like a bunch of "people" with a desk/office job, that one counts, this one files, this one is the manager who approves stuff, that one is the delivery person, i like that lol

Knull is actually the one who decapitated the Celestial whose head became Knowhere.

I always find it weird that the Celestials in the Eternals movie look and feel so radically different than the Celestials we see in Thor: Love and Thunder and the Guardians of the Galaxy. I also have two main theories for Ego.
First one is that Ego is a forgotten or pre-mature birthed Celestial that somehow managed to survive the death of the world he was incubating in. He has lost whatever connection the other Celestials have with eachother, or they don't even know he survived, and never went looking for him. Because he wasn't 'raised' by other Celestials upon waking up, he wasn't taught how to use his powers like they do, and had to essentially figure them out himself, discovering new ways to manifest his power.
Second Theory is that Ego didn't call himself a "Celestial" in the manner of the Celestials, but that he was a celestial, as in, he is a godly space being. This is mostly because he doesn't know where he came from, and doesn't know of others like himself, but if thought of himself as a "Celestial" he would have learned about the actual Celestials that are apparently still running around the Universe and realized he's not alone, so leading me to believe he doesn't see himself as one of them, and so not a "Celestial" with a capital C.
But it would be really cool if they actually did something with Star-Lord's "Celestial" heritage, like having him meet Eternals or something.

Bruh! When I first watched Eternals, I was awestruck when Arishem showed up. Dude goes around with a controllable blackhole!

[MasonNoThumbs]

I truly believe Ego is Knowheres Brain 🧠 thats why he is just floating as a Brain initially

In Marvel Comics, there are eight versions of the Cosmos, where the universe/multiverse dies and is reborn in a new form. The Celestials originate in the First Cosmos, and are reborn in each consecutive cosmos.

The First Cosmos was originally only inhabited by the First Firmament (the precursor of Eternity) who was all life and all consciousness and all matter and energy. All else is empty void. He became lonely, and created beings much like lesser versions of himself to venerate him and reflect his glory. The ones who did so by worshiping him were called Aspirants, and those who did so by imitating him and creating life themselves were called Celestials. The Aspirants and Celestials engaged in a holy war over whose nature and purpose was proper. The result was the death of the First Cosmos.

The Second Cosmos was the First Multiverse, with infinite variations coming into existence from the shards of the First Firmament. The Celestials created beings without limit to their abilities to deal with the possible results of infinite variation, which became the Beyonders. The embodiment of the Second Cosmos so hungered for the new and unique that it lasted on a few millennia before embracing the newest, most unique experience it could conceive: All-Death. The Beyonders exist in a continuum split off from the Second Cosmos, which is beyond all the variations of subsequent multiverses (hence the name Beyonders).

The Third Cosmos was embodies by two entities, Lifebringer and Anti-All, who embodied and expressed its opposing polarities. It was the first cosmos to possess concepts like good and evil, hope and despair, etc. In its defining moment, Lifebringer (also known as the First Hero) shattered Anti-All into fragments, after which the Third Cosmos collapsed and was reborn.

The Fourth Cosmos was the birthplace of narrative, story, and meaning. It was inhabited by embodied tropes and archetypes, which were the foundations from which later heroes and villains spring in later universes. Beings like Of-Past (basis of Captain America), Of-Future (basis of Iron Man), Four-Who-Are-One (basis of the Fantastic Four), One-Who-Is-Four (basis of the Hulk), and Could-Be-You (basis of Spider-Man). It was brought to an end by the transformation of What-Must-Be (basis of Galactus, Devourer of Worlds) into What-Can-Be (basis of Galactus the Lifebringer). The Sentience of the Fourth Cosmos, also called the Pilgrim, chose to Journey Into Mystery and took the archetypes with her, so their nature would survive and inform later cosmoses. She journeyed outside what is and became the Neverqueen, the embodiment of Could-Be/Should-Be and Couldn't-Be/Shouldn't-Be, the realms that exist beyond existence.

The Fifth Cosmos was a realm of pure magic, where the rules of sorcery were created, where all things held potency and portent, and where all fires were secret. It was ruled over in its later eons by the Sorcerer Supreme Mor-I-Dun. When the Fifth Cosmos died, Mor-I-Dun merged with its sentience and became Omnimax, the Big Hungry, the Sixth Cosmos' version of Galactus.

The Sixth Cosmos was a realm of pure science and super-science. Scienceers crusaded against evil in that realm, and arguably the greatest of them was Taia of Ta'a, Scienceer Supreme, and mother of the last Scienceer Supreme, Galan of Ta'a. When the Sixth Cosmos died, Galan merged with its Sentience and became Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds.

The Seventh Cosmos was the Marvel multiverse as seen in the comics, embodied by Infinity (all space) and Eternity (all time). It was destroyed by the Beyonders in a series of Incursions (where timelines would compress into each other with only one surviving) in an attempt to ward off a non-linear mulitversal threat they referred to as the Dominion.

The Eighth Cosmos was a deliberate re-creation of the Seventh Cosmos. Infinity stayed behind to embody the now-lost Seventh Cosmos, with Eternity embodying all space-time in the Eighth Cosmos. It was recreated by the efforts of Franklin (supplying imagination) and Reed (supplying organization) Richards using the powers of Owen Reece, the Molecule Man who, having transcended the bounds of matter and realized the nature of reality, began to refer to himself as the Narrative Man.

I’m interested to see more of the celestials, but I have no idea where or how they might tie into the story, at least not in the short term (minus the judging of earth). It seems like the celesials were made much larger for the MCU compared to the comics so it’s hard to imagine how they’ll be included in any future conflicts.

[mythos]

What would be interesting is if marvel tries to tie ego in as a celestial by way of the necrosword and knull eons ago. I think with Gorr and the black sword making an appearance it could tie a few things in well together, like how did Ego have cosmic power to begin with..why was he just a floating brain? Why didn't it die? Etc...also I think it could help to explain why ego could manipulate matter without technology (and breed with our universe) as he had to learn how to so so over eons.

[niajones]

Marvel Studios should introduce the Fallen celestial and give Eson more screen time. That would be awesome.

[kimarleygodfrey]

Wow this is amazing I'm learning alot since I don't read the comic at all but it would be nice to explore the celestial background alot more given more details

[thatlonewolfguy]

Honestly Eternals felt like it was done far too soon, the Celestials and Eternals aren't a part of the Secret Wars arc but there was that theory going around that Celestial blood (or likely some sort of cosmic radiation from Tiamut's partial awakening) is what causes Mutants to emerge on Earth-616, which as we know is now what our Earth is called in the MCU thanks to Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness and Kevin Feige and other Marvel leadership have not said since that movie's release that that fact is not canon so as far as I'm concerned the Earth that Eternals takes place on is indeed Earth-616. That would allow them to introduce the new Fantastic 4 before Secret Wars occurs and set up villains like the Maker etc after Kang is defeated in The Kang Dynasty movie.

It could be Ego's abilities aren't unique, the fact that he trained and developed them in that specific way may be where the separation occurs. The two methods of acting based on the same fundamentals, but developed into two utterly separate applications.

[gibbsterV]

I’d like to see Ziran the Tester and Gamiel the Manipulator in the MCU. Their designs are awesome and I’d like to see that translate to the style of the MCU

[SpiderDan]

I would love to see the Collector and Grandmaster have a chess like Battleworld similar to the comics where they battled for the iso8. I do not think they are celestials though.

[godwinyan]

My fav is The Judge because he seems the most serious and because of his amazing origin story and design

[joseguerin]

Knull is the person that killed the Celestial when he went to war with them

[chaneladriana]

Ego was a lier he was never a celestial he just wanted to be treated like one even tho he is a jobber

[thesamsquatch]

The dreaming celestial still one of my favorites
Transcending past his purpose and then teaming with the fulcrum

[MorrisThePetRock]

Master Weaver from earth 001 from the SpiderVerse comic wears a mask that looks exactly like Arashem's face. The fact that he is from the first universe points to the fact that Arashem aided in the creation of the universe.

[RussellBallangarry]

That ending scene as it goes through the cinematic of the celestials is awesome
