In cases like this, it generally helps to watch the movie in order to actually have context for it.Thanks now i wont get traumatized!
Also (to spicify i am not a fan of the eteranals) Im offended and angry because of what they did to Icarus! (i dindt watch the movie but i know the plotwist)
They turned the Main Protagonist and Hero of a Obscure Media into a Evil Villain! I hate this and funnily enough as soon as i heard hes evil i knew he wasnt evil in the comics! And just food for thought! They Gender and Race bended every White/ male eternal including Sprite who a Child! (like Boys need representation to in marvel movies) And the only one (i think there could be a second one but i dont care!) they kept White/ male was turned Evil!
And dont say "they needed to change them just look at Guadians" Quill is changed a lot YES but he originally was a dickish Antihero and that mostly carries over to him now! Also most of the Gender/Racebend crew where not that important Side chars (as far as i know) So why not make them diffrent Characters?
The movie makes it clear that Ikaris is conflicted; he prioritizes the Eternals' mission over the people of the Earth, but he obviously hates what he has to do in order to make the Emergence happen.
Plus, Druig was the exact opposite - he also stayed as a white man, but he went from evil in the comics to good (albeit morally conflicted/gray) in the movie.
The races and genders of the Eternals aren't a key part of their characters; I don't see the harm in having those aspects of the characters changed to better reflect changes in society since the 60's and 70's. I don't think many people complained when Heimdall in the Thor movies, Perry White in Man of Steel, Ghost in Ant-Man and the Wasp, Kang the Conqueror, Deadshot in Suicide Squad, or Valkyrie in Thor Ragnarok went through similar changes, though maybe I'm naive/uninformed.
