ETERNALLY CONFUSING - Part II

PART II of what *MIGHT* be the most convoluted "Comics Are Weird!" episode we've ever undertaken (and, regrettably, the most delay-plagued of recent; which was externally affected but still no excuse); as we continue our attempt to untangle exactly what the HELL Jack Kirby's "ETERNALS" was ever supposed to be and - having explained, for the most part, what he was going for in the first place in PART I - now find ourselves tracking what Marvel made of the bizarre mythos he left them when the series ended unfinished and he'd once more moved on. What DID follow? Adventures with THE MIGHTY THOR, deeply-confounding integrations with THE AVENGERS, a key role in the still-controversial crossover that ended THE ULTRAVERSE (and created a 7th Infinity Stone!) a reboot from Neil Gaiman(!), an absurdly dark "ending" (that didn't take) multiple even darker origins for *The Planet Earth*, "Caveman Avengers," plant-baby messiahs and retconned origins for Thanos, Apocalypse, The Kree, Skrulls, several versions of Kang and some X-MEN stuff we barely even have time to touch on... and I'm STILL going to follow this up with a look ahead at WHY they might have decided this needed to be a movie and what it might mean for the future of this entire enterprise!
