Eternals 5: the enemy is us

The Deviants aim to destroy us by making us fear then fight the gods. This is happening now.

Take the Bible for example. This is one area where today men fight gods. Most people reject the law of Moses (that is, the philosophy of Moses, that is, the god of Moses) as being primitive. Because we look on the supernatural view of the text. But if we understood the text (that is, if we rejected supernatural explanations) it would solve all our problems. Because the law of Moses is about land, and the rest is mere footnotes and negotiable. I write about this elsewhere. By fighting a real god we merely hurt ourselves, as Kirby showed.

Incidentally, note the dome in the Andes on the final page. Recognise it? Maximums had a similar plan in Fantastic Four 48: Get the Humans to act like humans in front of a celestial, and thus destroy themselves, while the wiser people are safe in their dome.  Stan Lee's editing removed the link between Maximus and Galactus, destroying the story. So in the Eternals, Kirby fixes the damage and expands the story.
