Did you know Marvel's Eternals were originally created to explore spiritual themes such as the origin of humans? The comics actually explored stories such as the Great Flood and Noah's Ark, inspired by Sumerian, Mesopotamian and Old Testament religious stories. So what theological ideas are buried in this movie? Several interesting ideas are pulled from this banned book of the Bible: First Enoch: The Book of Watchers. The movie also pulled from Babylonian religion, Sumerian religion, Greek mythology, early Judaism and First Century Christianity. You'd be shocked at what's behind this film and it will make for a much more interesting viewing of the film! In this episode we dive into the spiritual writings that inspired this film, and in the next episode we'll talk more specifically about the plot and whether or not we recommend this polarizing Marvel film!
