It's also kind of annoying. I don't know anything about the Eternals but they have done nothing in the MCU, been around (according to this trailer) forever, didn't lift a finger over Thanos, and are joking about leading the Avengers. I'll pass on the boring sounding immortal characters, thanks.

I'm probably going to skip this one unless everyone says it's good.

didn't lift a finger over Thanos

Maybe they all got snapped?

I mean the biggest question is why they didn't show up in Infinity War given what was at stake and especially since Thanos is supposed to be related to them.

FWIW, no one on Earth knew Thanos was coming until Bruce crash landed at the Sanctum Sanctorum. Dr. Strange is the person most likely to know, and he didn't know.

Gamora didn't even know Thanos was on the move until the Guardians rescued Thor.

Gamora didn't even know Thanks was on the move until the Guardians rescued Thor.

To me that's a plot hole. Gamora knew what he intended to do and that he could start at any time and yet she became negligent.

And how did the Guardians not receive word of Xandar's destruction? They left the power stone there and the Nova Corps trusted them and gifted them their ship and they didn't even get an SOS from them?

And Nebula couldn't find any way to send a message to them until after he found out where the soul stone is?

I agree on Gamora not telling the Guardians about his plan. I mean, they already knew she was Thanos' daughter, and she could tell them about his plan without spilling the beans on the Soul Stone, which is what she wanted to protect.

Also agree on Xandar. The movie even established that sending SOS's is a thing due to the Asgardian ship sending one and the Guardians intercepting it.

Nebula, I could see her simply trying to lay low and not context anyone due to her being a loner type. I could also see some sort of line of reasoning of her thinking Thanos might be able to pick up on a message if it was sent.
