Darkseid pre-dates Thanos and while there are some similarities, the characters are quite different especially in their motivations.

Oh don't get me wrong, they certainly have fans. Just about every character under the sun does. I personally have a soft spot for Sersi having read some of the Avengers stuff with her in it a few years back. But I don't think it's an exaggeration to say they most likely wouldn't be making Eternals stuff period had their profile not been raised by the movie. Or at least not right now. Ain't no shame in that. That comic book Guardians of the Galaxy box set didn't magically materialized out of nowhere in 2014 either. It's an observable trend Hasbro has been doing for a while and all I was saying was that if there really is a comic Eternals box set coming, it's most definitely because of that rather than in spite of it.
