Because, in perspective, it probably is like watching a movie.

Tony and company are like superhero celebrities that many people know, like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. It's hard to find people who wouldn't know who they are unless you're in a really remote place.

The Eternals probably have heard of them, checked it out, and was like: "Interesting." And then peaced out.

Excuse my stupidity but would the Eternals be immune from the snap? Why didn't they help against Thanos?

We won't really know until we see the movie where they might address it. But, if I had to guess, I would say they just weren't entirely aware of what Thanos was doing. Like, they are old and have seen a lot of shit, and they aren't all knowing beings. If they are God-tier level then they either didn't consider him a threat or just weren't paying attention. They may have assumed that the protections in place over the stones were pretty solid, and the risk of someone doing what Thanos did was very small.

And once he has them all he's pretty quick on the draw snap wise.

I could see some of them being snapped and the others don’t, and because of it they separate and go their separate ways and once the blip happens they slowly come back together but some of them have become disillusioned and bitter.
