#marvel #phase4 #recap
All right, phase 4 actually begins in another reality, in a distant future, where there is this brilliant scientist who discovers the multiverse. The multiverse is basically several different universes, and in each of these universes, there are variants–that your other selves form these universes whose lives took on a different path from your own. So this scientist discovered the multiverse, and his multiversal selves [HWR talking about meeting himself]

But the problem is, not all of these variants were nice guys. Some of them became paranoid, and started to invade and conquer other realities, creating cracks in the very fabric of the universe. These cracks became a giant cloud that looks like a dog–

Doug: Cloud dog,

Yes, and this cloud dog essentially eats stuff and wipes it from existence. So this big multiversal war happens that destroys everything. And one of these scientists weaponizes the space dog to end the multiversal war, kill his other selves, and remake the timeline. Now, instead of endless branching realities, there are only a few that form a sacred timeline. This scientist, who is now called he who remains, forms an agency called the Time Variance authority to police this sacred timeline. Essentially, they prune any timeline before it can spawn an evil version of themselves. And he invents a story that the sacred timeline was created by aliens called timekeepers [clip].

More on the TVA soon–but first, history resumes. The big bang, the creation of the infinity stones–you know all that. Now some of the first beings in the universe were these massive space gods called celestials, and their job was to create stars and galaxies. To reproduce, the celestials plant eggs inside of planets. And these eggs are powered by intelligent life on the planet. The celestials created creatures called deviants to protect this sentient life–but the deviants turned on their masters.

So then the celestials had to create a panther artificial life form to fight their rogue artificial life forms–so they created immortal space robots called the Eternals. Twelve Eternals arrive on earth in the paleolithic era, and each of them has a superpower used to fight the deviants. The Eternals become famous, and their names are repeated in math for centuries.

Now the Eternals have no idea that earth has a celestial baby inside of it, and that this baby will hatch and destroy the planet. They don't even know they’re space robots. Not going to name all the Eternals because that would be the whole video, but two of them, Sersei and Robb Stark, fall in love. The Eternals defeat the deviants, then hang out on earth for a few thousand years, until they eventually break up because of colonialism, and they go explore the world.

In ancient Egypt these powerful beings interfere with humanity, and people think they are gods. These gods choose human avatars to be their voices on Earth. Two important ones are Khnoshu, the god of the moon, and the crocodile goddess Ammit, who judges souls in the afterlife. The other gods have her imprisoned in a tiny statue after she tries to eat the souls of the entire world.

And at some point a man named Wen Wu finds these powerful rings from space that grants him extraordinary powers. He uses them to conquer parts of china, then to form a terrorist organization called the ten rings. Eventually, he meets a woman from another dimension, they fall in love, have a couple kids, he gives up being evil, then she is killed so he starts being evil and training his son to be a deadly assassin. His son sneaks away and starts a new dignity, where he hangs out and sings karaoke all the time.
