• Okay, I can only find trailers for Stomp the Yard that were made after the movie was released (once everybody knew that he died), but I promise you that 80% of the advertising was “THIS IS CHRIS BROWN’S FIRST MOVIE AND IT’S A DANCE MOVIE :) “
• Kingo abandoned Sprite in Macedonia because he was tired of having to move every five or so years because she noticeably doesn’t age
• "That's my great-grandfather, that's my grandfather, that's my father, and that's me. I'm part of a great Bollywood dynasty." -Kingo
• Apparently Makkari and Druig have that relationship in the film only because of the incredible chemistry between Lauren Ridloff and Barry Keoghan

• I couldn’t find exactly where Kingo was, it just said that he was in India
• Handsome Ben Stoss is played by Haaz Sleiman
• With the Uni-Mind, the Eternals can join their minds into one entity. Like, Captain Planet and a Megazord
• Ikaris actually said "You won't succeed against me. And I will kill every one of you if I have to." and it was so hot
• Ikaris is listed as deceased in the MCU wiki...for now
• Actually, Tiamut is the Dreaming Celestial and he rose in 616 in the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco
• Tiamut the Communicator is a Celestial who was imprisoned on Earth (for questioning the Fulcrum) during the Neil Gaiman run of the Eternals who delayed his own imminent destruction of the planet in order to judge humanity due to the Eternals' attempts to save them.
