I FEEL YOU! You are correct! I can admit a mistake but let's be real - the first non-white eternal doesn't show up until issue #12 or #13 of the Eternal series. A year too late is a year too late. I will address this discrepancy in future vids.... if only work weren't such a bitch (that this is all I could do). I feel ya! And things did change (eventually) but early on it was pure whiteness.

CosmicComics I know what you are saying. I always took it that they were representative of Greek Gods and for that reason were designed like that. Great video by the way.

I never cared..

Was it a year too late tho? I mean, up until they all show up to form the Uni-mind, we don't see any big gathering of Eternals. The only ones we've seen are the main characters and a Greek city (which is understandably white).

Actually their appears to be black eternals from the very beginning. I have a screen shot from their 1st appearance and some of them do look black. The screen shot comes from a back up story in Marvel's What If stories (1st Ed). I am not sure how to post it as It is a PDF and covers the first Celestial Visit through the creation of the Inhumans. A great story. My email is peter.blaikie1967@gmail.com shoot me an email and I will pass it on.

It was my second or third video and nobody watching the channel. It was meant more tongue in cheek for when YT was an edgier place. Minority Eternals show up by Issue 11 or 12.

@@Cosmic.Comics ...you were wrong & you blame inexperience? I knew of eternals of color many years b4 you ever made this video, your excuse is "issue 11or12?!?! "Nobody watching channel"?!?!...thought u were supposed to be some "officianado" of comics...lame.

@@thedoncrazephaze5375 Seriously, it was a joke that got way too much attention. Yes, I am aware of minority Eternals but they came along later, seemingly as an afterthought. And yes, I think it's Etenerals 11 when the first minority Eternal makes an appearance. But I'm not faulting two guys for writing the experience they knew for comics that they had no idea would scrutinized in such manner - especially by a modern standard. Early Marvel does a great job of being inclusive and I point that out in numerous videos. And yeah, when this video was posted five years ago I didn't have five subscribers and most of those were probably my other channels. My grandma and a guy I don't even know named Lamar Greene were the only ones watching my videos. One has to try out new things. I joke around and make fun of Marvel a lot more in my earlier vidoes than I do now but again - that's a reflection of where YT was at that point in time and a young channel that hadn't hid its stride making some jokes. Still working on finding that stride. But I don't know everything - and I occasionally make mistakes.

Thanks for sub and kind words. On a spring hiatus for new vids but will be back soon.

any one of us She was adopted by Thanos.

Gamorah is not an Eternal she is the last of her race adopted by the man who would lead her world to genocide.

Totally went over both of y’all heads Lol 😂 Good One Bro!!

@@OFFICIALGBOYPAGE clearly wow lol

Christian Rosa FYI (in a friendly way haha) if you ever see “that’s why is _____” just know someone is about to make a joke. lol gotchu

With the intro of Thanos on the table i am curious to see where in they pick the story up. And based on the current MCU they could easily rewrite entire story. Hope they don't but... See exhibit A - The Infinity Saga. Loved it but it's way off from the Thanos and InfinG I know and remember. Love it - but I grew up eating vanilla ice cream. Now you start serving me strawberry ice cream. It's good. Both are ice cream. But you know I am always gonna prefer that nilla.

Glad to hear! Keep em coming.

Agreed. It was my second video for the channel and I was going for the humorous angle. For sure the minority eternals show up but it def feels like an afterthought. Thanks for the insight/comment!

lord freezer True indeed!!!!!

You could also read Neil Gaiman’s Eternals series. They’re not all white.

Stop with this progressive bullshit, if you think a group of white fictional characters are racist because they are white that's just prejudicial... Or racist! Your a racist when you think like this. Give it some genuine thought please.

Nerdchan calm down and help raise funds for the borderlands wall security and I’m definitely not a racist either

This isnt social commentary as much as it is poking fun and having fun with an oversight by authors who wrote this over 50 years ago and had no idea how influential the story would become. Look at how many the stories the man wrote or created that hardly ever (or never) get discussed. Plus, they were pushing out lots of new material while worldbuilding. Hands down Marvel pushes for diversity and representation and did so even in the way back. Minority Eternals show up by issue #11 and are now one of the most diverse groups in Marvel comics. I mean, the inclusion should have been there but I find humor in applying/contrasting today's standards of inclusuon with that of a bygone era.

I usually do canned response to this. But yeah, look at the number stories Kirby had already written by that time. He had no idea that this one would stick for the next 60+ years. This was an attempt to get a little humor out of that oversight. I never thought one little joke would get this much attention. The Eternals are now one of the most diverse groups in Marvel and minority Eternals show up by Issue #11. I think this was my third video. YT was edgier back then and I was still experimenting with the format. Not every joke is going to land. I still throw in lots of humor but have learned to style it different over time. Edit: thanks for commenting on it without raging.

i guess I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream new movies online ?

@Zechariah Junior flixportal :P

@Landry Dominic thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !

@Zechariah Junior no problem :D

I think it was probably the A'Lars and Sui-San answer out of the two. I would need to dust off some comics to make certain. The reason I bank on this is I remember when Eros meets the Eternals of Earth for the first time and there being some surprise and joy about finding their brethren who had left long ago. Then Eros gets pulled into a Uni-Mind.

Awesome! Thanks for the sub!

Awesome. Been looking for that comic to finish up my discussion on Thanos Rising.

CosmicComics there’s a bunch of free websites that have scans of comics online, you know, such as Read Comic Online. Also I look forward to see this on trending when the Eternals Trailer debuts and people are inevitably gonna be looking it up

I can only hope they choose my video over all the other ones. Thanks for watching!

Yeah like me🤨

X-Men Classics or was it Classic X-Men? I think it might have been both.

Not Marvel, Kirby, The Eternals was not a committee creation

mitha abigail 😲😲😲😲

Which I find it stupid if the Thanos's Mother is only survivor and Alars found her how they populated a whole planet with just two them?.

That series wasn't very popular and most of the retcons have been ignored. The wiki at Marvel's website still lists these events as canon: marvel.com/universe/Eternals

Most comic book characters never eat, have to go to the restroom, get the flu (or other generally communicable diseases), the ladies don't have a "that" time of the month and the guys don't get erections in their tights. If they did go pee we know the guys would occasionally get a little spotting on the front of their tights from that last drop that didn't want to cooperate or from the ladies not being able to wipe off effectively due to a lack of toiletries. Notice that nobody in the Marvel Universe needs to take a snack to help combat low blood sugar on their way to save the world.

CosmicComics it was a stupid question thanks

I had fun answering it

you said Loosely their space battles with Patricians inspired George Lucas And Gene Roddenberry Check out Billy Carson and Joseph Farrell Siomething Called The Ancient Cosmic Wars even their creating gods That Marvel Calls the Celestials our Moon is A space Station Nasa Droped The Space mosal crashed it into the moon ring like a bell then with studies with David Willcok said with computer to check the insides they say its built for a fifty foot giant

In all fairness minorities show up by issue #11 and have since become one of the most diverse groups in Marvel comics.

Yes the eternals were created as analogues to the new gods.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Most of this was pulled from the back pages of What If Vol. 1 #24-28. Other sources are listed below the video fold.

But seriously, depending on how long ago these things were, most of humanity more than likely would’ve looked black skinned anyway. But comics were never accused of being scientific.

For sure on the science. Not to mention that writers didn't have as many reference tools for anthropology back then and the culture of the time didn't push for as much cultural inclusion. The fact that they were pushing an evolution narrative that invloved genetic manipulation by space aliens to an overwhelmingly religious audience 40 years ago is pretty amazing in itself.

Other way around but yep. Same creator for both. Kirby made New Gods after leaving Marvel for DC.

@@Cosmic.Comics Yep correct he made the new gods in 1971 and then eternals in 1976. Jack Kirby was very talented

I don't remember everything with Phyla-Vell but her father (Mar-Vell) was Kree and her mother was Elysius was the creation of the artificial intelligence ISAAC so I would think no she is not. To give a more exact answer I would have to go back and read up. Silver Surfer Annual #6 has the story of Genis-Vall being created.

CosmicComics cool.

@@Spider-Bread no, she isnt.

@@tooslow4065 thanks for the information

There are. Minority Eternals show up by issue 11 or 12. Eventually they end up as a pretty diverse group but it takes Marvel awhile to get there. Just having/making fun with 60's writing styles.

See Thor: The Eternals Saga Vol. 1. Vampiro, an Eternal and Toro Rojo, a Deviant. Both were masked wrestlers in Mexico City in that storyline. ¡Buena suerte por ti!

Love you coming in with that scientific mind and throwing down words like africanus. Glad to know you are enjoying the channel! The modern political climate has poisoned things so much that it seems I can no longer make a little humor about an omission of author who was the product of his times (an omission corrected by issue 11 (or was it 12?)). No SJW intended - from time to time I like to poke fun at media I'm reviewing. I'm surprised so many ppl have latched on to something I threw in as tongue in cheek. Thanks for commenting and watching - help keep me in line on my anthropological theory and timelines!

Thanks for the love!

Steven, shoot me an email at pblaikie@hotmail.com and I can send you a pdf of this whole story which also includes the origin of the Inhumans as well and how they are connected.

kirby march Barcena Shoot me your email address and I can shoot you a pdf of this story which also includes the origin of the Inhumans as well and how they are connected. My email is pblaikie@hotmail.com.

there are reports Marvel is going to do "What if" shows when Disney launches their streaming service so you can have the comics and live action "What if" media

I thought that was Agents of Shield was for the past few seasons. That would be cool, just had to get a little dig in there.

First minority Eternals arrive in issue #11. Not that far out.

Your confusing me the first Eternal series ran from 76 to 78. This What If ran in 80 to 81. Still they wouldn't have gotten the axe in 78 if the series were selling. I'm surprised they are making a movie for them and think it might bomb.

Eternals volume two came out in 1985 that was the first time I remember seeing multiracial Eternals like Phastos.

This has become my copypasta response since I get this a lot: This isn't social commentary as much as it is poking fun and having fun with an oversight by authors who wrote this over 50 years ago and had no idea how influential the story would become. Not every joke is going to land but kinda hard to change the set list after the fact on a 3 year old video. Hands down Marvel pushes for diversity and representation and did so even in the way back. Minority Eternals show up by issue #11 and are now one of the most diverse groups in Marvel comics. Can we laugh at some of the absurdities of the past? This was one of my first vids and YT was an edgier place back then - learned to put a little more tongue in my tongue in cheek since then.

Thanos is Eternals from Titan (son Of alars who Actually Son of Kronos)

should check what Marvel Took Something Called The Anunnaki thats what is based on there was movie was supposed to comeout it was canned

@@mithaabigail2060 So Kronos is Thanos' grandpa?

In general I agree. I don't think the authors had any ill intent - this was more me having fun with the situation. Minority Eternals show up in issue #11. If anything Marvel has done great work with inclusiveness and pointing out the ignorance of racism. Also, this was one of my first vids - had less than 5 five subs at the time (It had its intended effect, drum up interaction on the channel). Thanks for the comment!

agreed. I always found Marvel to be one of the first to address issues of minority (in a genuine way for the time - probably because many at Marvel were themselves immigrants to the US). Plus it made sense; as US cities had changed and Marvels target audience/s had increased over the years (as had the people they hired). Peace.

I think you're forgetting the most important thing, "Why is Gamora?"

Heh. This was my first or second vid. It was meant tongue in cheek but I learned quickly that the internet can't always tell. I was under the impression that the gods are generally of a particular race because they were formed from the minds of men. The gods (and their powers - even reality of their creation myths) are made of the godstuff left behind when Demo-Gorge changed back into Atum and went to live in the sun. The Eternals on the other hand are genetically modified humans (or a close relative). The gods of the Skrulls also tie back into Celestial genetic modification. I forget the origins of the Shi'ar deities off the top of my head. I should have clarified that the minority Eternals show up by issue #11. I don't think it was evil intent. I think it was simple oversight by a bunch of white guys back in the 60's. Guys who typically did a great job of pushing for inclusion. Might be one of the reasons why the Eternals are now one of the most racially diverse groups in Marvel comics. See, I should have also pointed that out. Some of the earlier videos are edgier - takes awhile to find ones voice. In the end it did what I needed - got people to comment on the video. I probably would have reposted it but didn't want to lose the traction it had or take the chance that KZfaq would slap my early channel for repetitive content uploads.

For sure. This was my third video? Was just tongue in cheek commentary for a channel with no subs at the time.

It all gets sorted out by issue #11. Probably an oversight, like making Ronan pink from time to time. That was all done tongue in cheek but surprisingly that bit of comedy / poking fun gets people riled up in the comments section.

Minority Eternals show up by issue 11 and are now one of the most diverse groups in MC. But yeah. This was my 3rd video? And they had no idea this story would have lasting power for more than 50 years. Just poking fun on the exclusion of the past leading to an absurd situation, more so than making hard political commentary. Learned to put more tongue into my cheek since then. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Y so supprεssive??

Copypasta response as I answer this a lot: This isnt social commentary as much as it is poking fun and having fun with an oversight by authors who wrote this over 50 years ago and had no idea how influential the story would become. Hands down Marvel pushes for diversity and representation and did so even in the way back. Minority Eternals show up by issue #11 and are now one of the most diverse groups in Marvel comics. Can we laugh at some of the absurdities of the past without getting triggered? This one of my first vids and YT was an edgier place back then - learned to put a little more tongue in my tongue in cheek since then.

I guess one can always claim ignorance, that's always possible. But in this world of PC & liberalnomics it is truly difficult to tell ones agenda. Personally! No one gets a pass howbeit, ignorant or not, everyone has an agenda. It's human nature. ; )

This news seems a little dated... by as much as say more than 8 years. I always thought GW should have taken Saddam up on ending the Iraq war via duel. One life lost on either side - let god choose the victor.

On the + side. Minority Eternals show up by issue 11 and eventually become one of the most diverse groups in Marvel Comics. But that first year....

Thanks for commenting! In my defense I dont always bring in racism. This was the second or third video for the channel and stirring the pot over an obvious omission was a good way to drum up comments. Also, I like to make fun of bad writing. Marvel has changed their outlook on the Eternals over time and they are now represented by characters with a multitude of differing racial backgrounds.
