The Ending of "Eternals"
The highly anticipated Marvel film, "Eternals," has finally arrived, and it has brought with it a game-changing ending that leaves audiences eager for more. In this article, we will discuss the film's ending, the significance of its post-credits scenes, and the implications for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). But be warned, there will be heavy spoilers ahead, as we Delve into the intricacies of "Eternals."
The movie's ending reveals a shocking truth about the Eternals themselves. Contrary to their initial portrayal as heroic beings from the planet Olympia, they are, in fact, advanced robots created by the celestial known as Arishem. Furthermore, it is unveiled that the Deviants, the creatures they were designed to combat, were also creations of the celestials. Their purpose was to maintain balance by preventing the emergence of powerful civilizations. However, the Deviants evolved and started hunting down emerging civilizations, prompting Arishem to create the Eternals to keep them in check.
Upon learning their true purpose, Cersei, the lead Eternal, and her comrades vow to stop Arishem and save the Earth. One member, Icarus, proves to be an exception. He remains loyal to Arishem and is aware of the emergence and the Eternals' true purpose for centuries. Icarus also reveals that he killed Ajax, another Eternal, after she had a change of heart. He threatens to kill anyone who opposes the emergence. A fierce battle ensues between Icarus and the rest of the Eternals, but he eventually surrenders after experiencing a Wave of memories and realizing the happiness and connection he had on Earth. In a final act, the Eternals, led by Cersei, turn the colossal creature Tiamat into stone, saving the Earth from another apocalypse. However, Icarus, overwhelmed by shame, chooses to end his life by flying into the sun.
The story's complexity doesn't end there. Tina, one of the Eternals, also plays a significant role in killing the lead Deviant, adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative. With the emergence prevented, two remaining Eternals, Druid and Makkari, embark on a mission to locate other Eternals in the universe, informing them of their true purpose. Meanwhile, Cersei finds solace in her relationship with Dane, her boyfriend. However, just as Dane is about to reveal his true identity as the Black Knight, Arishem intervenes, abducting Cersei, Kinggo, and Fastos. This unexpected turn plummets us into the first post-credits scene, leaving us pondering the fate of the Eternals.
Stay tuned for the continuation of the story in the next section.
The First Post-Credits Scene
In the first post-credits scene, we rejoin Thena, Druid, and Makkari in space, a few weeks after their departure from Earth. Concerned by their lack of communication with their fellow Eternals, they suspect Arishem's involvement. However, their discussion is interrupted by an unexpected arrival – none other than Harry Styles, portraying the character Eros, the younger brother of Thanos.
Eros, also known as Starfox, introduces himself alongside his loyal sidekick Pip. In the comics, Eros and Thanos are diametrically opposite, with Eros embodying a carefree, womanizing personality. Eros informs the trio that their friends are in peril, suggesting that his aid could be instrumental in their rescue. While a sequel to "Eternals" is not yet confirmed due to mixed early reviews, the presence of a prominent actor like Harry Styles Hints at future importance for his character.
The introduction of Eros opens up exciting possibilities for the future, including the potential to expand the cosmic realm further. Perhaps a Disney+ series focusing on the cosmic adventures of the Eternals could be in the pipeline. Only time will reveal the true significance of Eros' role as we eagerly await the next chapter. But before we move on, there is another crucial post-credits scene to explore that sheds light on a beloved Marvel character.

The Ebony Blade and the Black Knight
One of the heavily speculated aspects of "Eternals" was the introduction of Kit Harington as Dane Whitman, a character poised to become the Black Knight. While his true identity was almost revealed to Cersei before Arishem's interruption, the second post-credits scene leaves no doubt about Dane's destiny.
In the scene, Dane opens a chest inscribed with the words "Death is my reward." Within lies the Fabled Ebony Blade, a magical weapon forged by Merlin and Sir Percy from a starstone meteorite. The blade possesses the power to cut through any substance and safeguards its wielder from death and magic. However, an insidious curse accompanies its power, corrupting the user and fueling a thirst for violence, bloodshed, and death.
Just as Dane is about to lay his hands on the blade, a mysterious voice beckons him, asking if he is ready to accept its consequences. Observant fans will recognize the voice as none other than Mahershala Ali, who is set to portray the vampire hunter Blade in the future of the MCU. Chloe Zhao, director of "Eternals," has recently confirmed that it is indeed Blade's voice, marking his long-awaited arrival in the MCU.
With Blade's potential involvement, it opens up a myriad of possibilities for Dane's Journey. As Blade is known for his swordsmanship, he could become Dane's mentor, guiding him on a path that explores his own heroic potential. Alternatively, their connection could lead to a deeper exploration of the supernatural realm within the MCU.
The inclusion of Blade in the MCU is a cause for celebration among fans and promises thrilling adventures to come. As the interconnected universe continues to expand, we can only imagine the extraordinary stories that lie ahead.
In conclusion, "Eternals" delivers a mind-bending ending that reshapes the landscape of the MCU. The revelations about the true nature of the Eternals, the sacrifices made, and the introduction of new characters pave the way for exciting future installments. As we eagerly anticipate what lies ahead, one thing is certain – the Marvel Cinematic Universe has once again left us craving more.
