> A “fun” question that occurred to me while watching the trailer: Which of the Eternals got dusted by Thanos? The comics have established quite solidly that the Infinity Gauntlet can be used to imprison _Celestials_ , for Stan’s sake! It should have zapped half the Eternals as well. I wonder if they’ll bring that up.

That depends on if the Infinity Gauntlet considered them a single group to remove half of, or part of a larger group. It removed half of all humans, and that means half of all Europeans, half of all New Yorkers, most likely half of all Spokanites, but at some point you get to towns so small that some of them will have lost all inhabitants, and some will have lost all, _if_ the glove just picked half of humanity at random. And if it didn’t, it still has to pick some smallest subsets to take half of, or deal with some complicated adjustments to ensure taking half of every possible small subset doesn’t end up taking more than half of the total.
