mind the walrus posted:It's a fascinating characterization, easily on par with Wolverine, Storm, and Kitty Pryde for GOAT status in the franchise. It just hits a weird loving note to reduce him to thumbs up or thumbs down. The Celestial's given Captain America a thumbs down and Warlord Kro a thumbs up; whatever standards its using to judge people clearly isn't good/bad.

Why would you build a DIY Celestial? It seems about a good idea as inviting Galactus around for dinner.

Druig had the Eternals invade Krakoa because he found evidence of excess deviation. The heroic Eternals tried to create their own Celestial to tell the fundamentalist Eternals that maybe a little deviation from the norm isn’t such a bad thing.

Elissimpark posted:Why would you build a DIY Celestial? It seems about a good idea as inviting Galactus around for dinner. The whole story is that Druig (and some other Eternals that are a little on the evil side) are trying to exterminate mutants and since you can't really stop Eternals (since they're, you know, Eternal and will keep reviving even if you kill them) conventionally, the best idea is to get a Celestial to make them stop since Celestials are their bosses. And since the Avengers currently live (well, lived) in a Celestial corpse, a couple of the good Eternals thought that would be a good start for making their own and since Tony had interacted with a few Celestials on prior adventures he'd make an ideal conduit for them to basically upload their OS. *insert Arrested Development narrator voice here* It wasn't. So you know, it's not entirely Tony's fault, just like, 1/5th his fault. It did do its intended job a little though, forcing Druig and his big death machines into a temporary ceasefire. So you know, it's like that scene in Avengers Endgame when Hulk turns Ant-Man into a baby and calls it a win

Elissimpark posted:Why would you build a DIY Celestial? It seems about a good idea as inviting Galactus around for dinner. Druig is leading the Eternals, and to shore up his power is using mutants as a political boogie man because they technically count as Deviants (it's noted in the comics that so does a small majority of all life on planet Earth). Because the Eternals are programmed on an instinctual level to combat Excessive Deviation, he's successfully convinced most of the Eternals that Krakoa, with it's immortality and terraforming of Mars, counts. The Eternals two religious leaders, Ajax and Merkari, disagreed, and decided that the quickest way to end the conflict would be to have a Celestial come and personally tell them to cut that poo poo out, but since they can't get hold of any living Celestials, decide to revive the dead one currently being used as the Avenger's base. Granted, they'd already been considering this even before the conflict due to an ongoing crisis of faith caused by the Celstial's increased distancing from the Eternals and questioning of the Celestials motives and methods, and so had wanted to found a new religion by literally making a new God. Because Phastos, the resident science Eternal, correctly called that plan insane, they kidnapped Mr. Sinister to put the plan in action. After the Eternals attacked Krakoa, Tony Stark joins in, partly as a hail mary to prevent a never ending war between two powerful races of immortals, and partly out of (surprise) vanity. Was this a good idea at any level? No. Is it in character for those involved and incredibly entertaining? Hell yes.

It seem to me the mutants have several ways of dealing with Eternals without killing them. Most of them named Iceman.

I mean, to be fair, the DIY Celestial did stop Druig and his minions from attacking the mutants. Now all they need to do is build an even bigger Celestial to stop the DIY Celestial from attacking all life on Earth!

Synthbuttrange posted:x-men #14 This drove me absolutely crazy and just stunk of self-indulgent writing, which stunk because I quite like Judgment Day's whole set up of "You're all being judged by an impossible unknowable force, you can't punch your way out of this, it's down to you to be worthy." But instead Duggan just writes ole condom head to just go up and say "Um, do you know who my wife is?" and completely castigates the main threat. At least it's not in the main book.

But wasn't the reason for that they said that Sue's invisible force fields work using hyper space which is the same energy that runs through Celestials? Like it wasn't so much raw power as the energy it worked with (and raw power )
