Marvel Just Ignored The Best Chance To Fix The Biggest MCU Plot Hole

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for The Marvels
Summary

• The Marvels missed the opportunity to address a glaring plot hole in the MCU by not referencing the dead Celestial in the Earth's surface.
• The lack of acknowledgment of the Celestial's presence undermines the gravity of such a significant event in the MCU.
• Including a shot of the dead Celestial in The Marvels would have reminded audiences of its importance and helped maintain continuity in the storyline.

Despite underwhelming initial box office performance, The Marvels is in the top half of the best MCU movies quite easily, but it missed a huge opportunity to fix a glaring Marvel plot hole. Nia Dacosta's sequel, which strongly addresses accusations that Brie Larson's Captain Marvel has lacked character development, is roaring good fun, and impressively avoids being sunk by the weight of 32 movies worth of Marvel lore.
Since the Eternals' ending, Earth has had the dead body of Tiamut the Celestial poking out of the Earth's surface in the Indian Ocean. In ordinary circumstances, that might be cause for concern, or even vague interest, but the MCU has conspicuously ignored the fact for more than 2 years. To think that the only reference so far has been a background news headline gag in She-Hulk is, at this point, something of a joke. The Marvels, released almost exactly 2 years after The Eternals could easily have referenced the Celestial, solving the plot hole of mass ignorance, and frustratingly, there was a very easy way to do it.
