AskScience and AskHistorians exist for that. r/whatiffiction, a sister subreddit, has rules more accommodating to these sort of questions.

The movie never puts across the sense that the stakes are high for all of us instead, it gives us boring actors playing boring characters alternately squabbling and joking around while they debate whether the humans are even worth saving or whether itвЂ™s a good idea to undermine their boss Arishem.

Since there are only two noteworthy humans in the story - one is dumped after the opening ten minutes and the other is a comedy-relief doofus - humanity is notably missing from the story. The points made by all of these scenes combined could have been made in a single prologue, but they at least serve to drive up the budget with meaningless historical spectacle, from Babylon to Tenochtitlan.Д¬losely watched by the god-of-gods Arishem, who looks like a six-eyed Iron Man and is as difficult to take seriously as anything else in this tacky-looking movie, the Eternals finally get the plot going after an hour or so, when we learn that, having been split up for hundreds of years, they must reunite to save the Earth from destruction. The certified auteurs in the blockbuster business are increasingly making a point of stretching out their films in hopes that ponderousness will be mistaken for seriousness, and so Zhao drags things on for over two and a half hours, largely by gumming up the narrative drive with an endless number of increasingly dull flashbacks. Despite all of their roaring and biting, they are about as scary as shrubbery. These are essentially dinosaurs made out of tree roots and look like a crafts project your nine-year-old brought home from summer camp. Eternals is a second-rate X-Men retread about a squadron of godlike beings who have secretly been here with us on Earth throughout human history but take a hands-off approach to all of our conflicts, though they have an ongoing battle with a silly-looking race of monsters called Deviants.
