I've been toying with the idea to turn Eternals into a (short?) documentary film. This version is Executive Produced by Kingo, with a Screenplay by Sprite, and Cinematography by Karun.
While my Chronological Cut puts all the scenes in a straightforward chronological order (well, duh!), this edit would have even more flashbacks than the original movie:
01 Arishem exposition
02 Domo arrives on Earth in Mesopotamia
03 Marvel logo
04 Mumbai pt1 until Sprite says "Ajak's dead", then insert
05 FLASHBACK South Dakota [find Ajak's body]
06 Mumbai pt2
07 Australia pt1 until Sprite says "We were attacked by a Deviant in London too", then insert
08 FLASHBACK London
09 Australia pt2
10 Amazon pt1 until Druig says "It's the last place we all lived together", then insert
11 FLASHBACK Tenochtitlan
12 Amazon pt2
13 Chicago pt1
14 insert FLASHBACK Hiroshima
15 Chicago pt2
16 Babylon AD pt1 until Kingo walks out, then insert
17 DELETED SCENE Sprite talks about Babylon until "If we ever had any real home on this planet, that was it", then insert
18 FLASHBACK Babylon BC, then
19 FLASHBACK Gupta empire
20 Babylon AD pt2 until Ikaris says "I had to", then insert
21 FLASHBACK South Dakota [kill Ajak]
22 Domo > final battle > credits
Timesaver: Overlay exposition from static scenes (e.g. Sersi and Dane at the beautiful laundrette, Sprite and Dane's deleted scene in the museum) as voice-overs in other scenes. I'm not usually a fan of voice-overs but in this instance I think it can work to add a documentary feel to the movie, especially because it allows me to use Sprite's monologue from the Eternals AR Experience:
I'll experiment some more. If I can get it to make sense, I'll make this second Eternals edit.
