10 Confusing Movie Questions We Still Don't Understand

10. What Happened to Tiamat? - Eternals

The 26th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ChloĆ© Zhao's The Eternals focused on a group of immortals tasked with safeguarding humanity for millennia from alien predators called Deviants.

Unfortunately, our titular heroes are unaware their creators, the Celestials, want humanity's population to thrive so their collective energy can awaken a Celestial called Tiamat from the Earth's core. When the Eternals learn Tiamat's birth will result in mankind's destruction, they do everything they can to prevent it.

Luckily, the Eternals stop Tiamat's emergence, just as his body breaks through the planet's crust. But since there is a space god sticking out of the Indian Ocean, it should have some major impact on the world.

And yet, Tiamat has never been referenced again. Even though there have been seven MCU films since, nobody has mentioned the 300-mile tall robot poking out of the sea, despite the fact it's probably visible from 20 countries. Considering this cosmic being has been hibernating inside the core for who knows how long, society should be freaking out.

With so many projects going at once, the Marvel franchise can't be expected to tie up every loose end. Having said that, it'd be refreshing if something was mentioned about Tiamat given just how freaking big he is.
