#also did I miss something in the movie because I thought that Druig wasn’t actively controlling the people in his town thing

[thanks--for--listening]

Phastos’s curse being humanity taking his basic inventions and his aid in their advancement and using their free will to cause immense horror and destruction through those advancements/technologies verses Druig’s curse being that in order to use his power to prevent humans from causing immense horror and destruction he has to rob them of their free will and as a result their humanity……..much to think about

#I’m not smart enough to draw a bigger conclusion #but it’s 1 AM and I can’t help but feel like they’re 2 sides of the same coin #also their revelations: phastos finding good in humanity again through individuals and Druig releasing his hold when he notices the lack of #individuality as a result of his mind control #viewing that individuality (and free will) as the thing that makes them human #I could have spent a whole movie on that dual conflict #eternals #eternals spoilers #also did I miss something in the movie because I thought that Druig wasn’t actively controlling the people in his town thing #(minus the initial convo and fight obviously) #but I’ve seen people on Tik tok say he was controlling all of them until Sersi made him stop #and now idk what to believe #druig #phastos #I hope I spelled names right I’m too tired to check #marvel #MCU
