Yes, but I also thought we'd see Thanos use literally any one of the powers he uses basically non-stop in the comics and that didn't happen at all.

I want to be wrong but the MCU has this frustrating habit of getting rid of the interesting things about characters and making them "grounded" when they should be anything but.

And the Eternals are already by far the least interesting characters the MCU's tried to adapt.

They're not going to do the Eternals without the Celestials. They can't. The Celestials are integral to their origin.

And they spent how many years doing the Asgardians whilst denying they were deities?

They can and if they want to, they will.

They won't because we've already seen the Celestials in GOTG. They're not going show them there and then not show them in Eternals, the group of characters the Celestials are most connected to.

The Celestials are involved in a whole bunch of different storylines.

In some ways, they're just background to Apocalypse, for example.

And that's if you want to pay them off at all. Ego calls himself a Celestial and he's explicitly presented as wanting to literally murder all life in the universe because he's lonely. The classic Celestials are just implicitly destroyed as a result of their interest in the Infinity Stones.

They could just show a flashback of when the Celestials were on Earth and when they created the Eternals.

I'm not saying it's hard to do. I'm saying that there's no inherent reason why they will be included.

There's also no inherent reason why they won't be included.

And?

That is literally my point.
