It's a What If, it doesn't much matter. Why was Captain Marvel fighting an Eternal?
Obraxiss2025-11-10 04:56
I assume Ikaris was stopping Carol from getting offworld and spreading the zombie virus to rest of the universe
lanwopc2025-11-10 05:06
Maybe but there's no knowing. It could have been the other way around. It's just not germane to the story.
Obraxiss2025-11-10 05:12
Yeah, the whole Valley of Broken Gods segment was really just a cool way to write Danvers out of the main story. (Since if she wasn't infected, the zombies would be wiped out easly, but if Carol was infected, the surviours would'nt stand a chance)
VelocityGrrl392025-11-10 17:29
And kill off one of our favorite characters.
Stillwindows952025-11-10 10:35
I think you're close but that Icaris is suffering Mahd Wyry and in a similar state as Carol is. For all intents and purposes, he may as well be a zombie. However the Mahd Wyry is a little different to a zombie virus and he could very well have some sense of justice about his fighting against Carol which does lend to the idea that he's keeping her in check, but stuck in a loop doing so.
AntonChigurh89332025-11-11 01:34
Why didn't daddy Arishem come to put in an end to the zombie outbreak. That is happening on his own garden. Just asking the serious question.
Defiant_Wheel48882025-11-11 04:20
Daddy abanden this planet.
AntonChigurh89332025-11-11 04:30
Damn, even Celestial dads pulled the "going to get the milk" card.
Stillwindows952025-11-11 08:26
No one paid attention to Eternals and it makes me sad.
So the reason Arishem wouldn't do that is because Earth will have become a completely lost cause. Tiamut would never rise from earth, it needed the collective power of human consciousness, it feeds of sentient life force. The world being Zombified removed a lot of sentience and reduced the energy Tiamut needed to burst out of the earth.
Counter idea though; tiamut feeds off the zombie human collective and bursts out the planet as some kind of Zombified Celestial. That could have made an interesting last episode tbf.
AntonChigurh89332025-11-11 08:53
I understand that reason but wouldn't Arishem want to restart the cycle again. Erase the zombie outbreak. Probably meaning completely wiping everything out with the zombies. Yeah, I see what you mean. Arishem is not genocidal like Thanos.
Zombie celestial would actually be a nice concept.
Stillwindows952025-11-11 09:11
I think in the grand scope of the universe it's like dropping a penny, it rolls down the street, and you're like 'eh, it's a penny, fuck it'
But yeah I think the series could have gone out with a bang like that. They are what if adjacent stories so I say why not. I love seeing large scale destruction, Infinity Ultron was fun to watch, the same way I love seeing the world get destroyed in the movie 2012.
Zombiamut (you see what I did there 😉) would have been amazing.
masterionxxx2025-11-10 11:40
But why was Ikaris, a loyal enforcer of the Celestials, involved in the matter that didn't involve the Deviants?
Obraxiss2025-11-10 11:47
Because a universe-wide zombie outbrake could harm Celestial worlds, and prevent an emergance
masterionxxx2025-11-10 11:49
So did the Snap.
Void_Warden2025-11-10 12:46
The snap wasn't eradicating all of sentient life. The zombie outbreak feasibly could.
Skyless_M00N2025-11-10 12:55
……no, that’s not how that works bud.
Void_Warden2025-11-10 12:56
Meaning? Because the eternals explicitly stated the snap wasn't a threat to their mission.
masterionxxx2025-11-10 15:32
The mission of the Eternals was to take down the Deviants, who were designed to take down the apex predators of each planet - and in turn became the apex predators themselves.
VelocityGrrl392025-11-10 17:28
And by becoming apex predators, they threatened the emergence. That’s the ultimate reason the Eternals were there: to ensure humanity survived so the Celestial could emerge.
masterionxxx2025-11-10 12:56
Thanos didn't specify who should be snapped away.
In the whole universe there could have been species, left with mostly sick / elderly / unqualified / male members, doomed to extinct.
masterionxxx2025-11-10 16:53
That's the first time I see people considering Thanos's plan as reasonable and adequately sustainable.
I'm... impressed.
Stillwindows952025-11-11 08:31
Mahd Wyry. Like Thena in Eternals. Maybe they've all snapped a bit. Maybe some of them are in hiding and others have Mahd Wyry, maybe they left on the domo when it was clear humanity had come to an end.
Babybulljackalope2025-11-10 23:54
How did an arrow pierce her but Ikaris couldn’t kill her?
lanwopc2025-11-11 01:57
He never tried arrows, rookie mistake.
Prize-Individual94302025-11-10 05:10
He didnt die when it killed him...
Front-Advantage-70352025-11-10 23:02
Yes…. That’s what… killing him means ??
ShadesOfTheDead2025-11-10 05:39
Either the sorcerers saved him or he was tough enough to survive it.

You're inability to recognize that your comment adds nothing to the conversation is wild.

It only kills him if he dies.

Bifrost
Defiant_Wheel48882025-11-10 15:58
Because he’s Thor, he can withstand a neutron star’s power, so yeah, he can handle the Infinity Stones too. Also, it’s *Marvel Zombies.* Thanos is basically a zombie here. He’s just learning how the stones work; he doesn’t have the aim to completely destroy everyone. If that was OG Thanos, he’d surely try a second wave on him until he was dusted.
Obraxiss2025-11-10 17:12
I get what you're saying, but the neutron star did nearly kill him before Groot finished Stormbreaker, and one blast from the power stone was enough to injure him enough to knock him out of the fight
Defiant_Wheel48882025-11-10 17:32
exactly
ShadesOfTheDead2025-11-11 01:20
Yes, but that was a focused blast directly aimed at him.
Defiant_Wheel48882025-11-11 04:27

this you can see. it hurt him but later on it automtically healed him. its almost a direct focused blast from powerstone.
Did the wizards portal him out?
i think there is possible that wizard portal him to new asgaurd.
blackbutterfree2025-11-10 16:40
Just another unexplained hand wavy detail.
_Lodjuret2025-11-10 18:57
Bro is simply built different
Additional-Wafer19492025-11-11 00:52
Every time a god faces extinction, the universe bends the rules.
TheCrystalStone2025-11-11 03:16
Honestly assuming he just tanked the infinity wave the answer is that he is just built different all jokes aside I’m pretty sure the sorcerers just teleported him to New Asgard-(instead of Kamar-Taj like they did with Spider-Man and Ant-Man likely so that the asgardians can’t end to his wounds)
