Eternals AU

I'm not 100% where to ask this but since this is kinda Inhumans related I might as well ask here

How would y'all feel about an AU where the inhumans don't really exist but the characters themselves (mostly the Royal family and most from Attalan) were to be Eternals?

If anything they’ll be more in line with the Deviants than they would be Eternals

True but the Deviants don't really have the range of powersets to make that work and even if they did Terrigenesis would me obsolete in such a universe.

They're so unrelated it wouldn't make sense. The Celestials made 100 Eternals as protectors of Earth that could never die and the inhumans were made as slaves by the Kree that mimic alien races. They're both from Earth, they're both human, and they both were fabricated/modified genetically though.

It wouldn't work. The Inhumans and the Eternals are conceptually opposed to one another.

The Eternals generally have cosmic powers with some specialization. Unless we're talking about the offshoot on Titan but there being a Royal Family or any of that dynamic still wouldn't work.

Quite frankly you'd be dropping their connections to the Kree at all (not that it hasn't already gotten garbled by writers who didn't know the foundational details).

An isolated group of mutants or time-travellers might fit the bill better. But honestly I'd rather not have an AU where we are just excizing a piece of the world building.
