I haven't watched Eternals yet but I'm already shipping Druig and Makkari do they actually get together? If they do I would love it! I only saw the gif where he has her tablet and gives it back but from now on I'm going to love them.

Hi Nonny! Omg welcome to the ship!! I love how so many people haven’t seen the movie yet and are already shipping Drukkari lol. I hope you’re okay with spoilers. If not, here’s the short, non-spoilery answer to your question:

I think it’s a little subjective whether or not they ‘get together.’ They don’t kiss and they don’t label their relationship, but it’s clear they like each other in a more-than-friends way. You don’t need to read in between the lines; they’re pretty overt in their affection for each other, even though they only share a few scenes together. (There is one particular scene at the end of the battle that includes physical affection that hammers home pretty clearly to the audience that they love each other.)

And some discussion with spoilers, under the cut:

Like I said, they really don’t have a lot of scenes together — but the ones they do share... oh nonny they are powerful lol. 

They are not as overt as Sersi and Ikaris (or Sersi and Dane), where there is kissing and/or lovemaking shown on-screen — but it’s also not so subtle that people can deny the ship’s existence, which I think is an argument that could be made with Thena & Gilgamesh: in my opinion, the T & G relationship was a lot more ambiguous. There is no denying that they also had an incredibly close relationship, but depending on one’s own interpretation, it could be platonic or romantic. Drukkari on the other hand has literally ZERO deniability. No one can say, “you were inserting subtext that didn’t exist” or “you were reading into it” because Zhao-Keoghan-Ridloff & Co. hit us with a sledgehammer that Druig and Makkari are So Important to each other in a deep romantic soulmate way. (in the words of Kumail, “I think it’s more than a friendship...” - watch from 12:45-13:00)

If you watch the scenes they’re in together, they orbit around each other. I apparently like to make lists to help myself mentally organize this beast of a film, so here is a short breakdown of the major scenes (with video links!) where they interact together in some way:

1. Babylon 5th century BCE - Druig calls Makkari “beautiful” and signs to her that she’s late (x) and then they have some flirty banter and make a deal to keep each other’s secrets (x) during this sequence, Druig also interprets for Makkari to some Babylonian dudes but I haven’t been able to find a clip of it rip

2. Tenochtitlan 1500s - Makkari encourages Druig to stay strong when he is angry with Phastos (x) ; later in the pyramid, he and Makkari are the only two Eternals to defend Thena’s right to keep her memories (druig part of the scene)

3. Domo present day - the tablet scene you saw :) “my beautiful beautiful Makkari... did you miss me” with all the yearning in the world and tHE NUDGING. (full scene, shorter Marvel social media version) Context: Druig trades a box of twinkies with ikaris in exchange for the tablet so he can engage Makkari in some major flirting

4. Emergence present day -  Ikaris tries to murder Druig (x) and Makkari loses her shit when he tells them that Druig’s gone and she proceeds to DESTROY ikaris (x) important to note that her fighting style here has completely changed from what we saw the rest of the time (defensive/non-physical moves even when directly engaging with a deviant) to just absolutely aggro

5. Beach post-Emergence present day - the Pride & Prejudice-esque reunion with swelling romantic music and lighting, plus the forehead touch and whispered reassurances that the audience isn’t privy to because it is for them alone 😭(x)

6. Post-Emergence South Dakota present day - eating together on the couch - the mirroring of body language! (x x), Druig and Makkari going somewhere together after eating (x), Phastos acknowledges Druig is not a hugger and then Druig and Makkari have a conversation about finding the other Eternals in ASL (there was a longer version but it was recently removed; this little exchange)

At the end of the movie, all the remaining Eternals part ways and Thena, Druig & Makkari head off together on the Domo to search for other Eternals across the universe — so Drukkari has definitely been paired together, for the moment, for future movies/shows. As far as I’m concerned, Druig and Makkari are definitely “together” in the way that you asked about, The Powers That Be just didn’t use this Eternals film to tell us the story of how they fell in love, like they did with the Main Couple, although we certainly got some wonderful peeks into their 7000 year relationship’s evolution. And even though TPTB also haven’t given us the traditional romantic PDA yet that we saw with three of the other couples in the movie — the relationship IS there and so is the intimacy.

I hope you’re able to see the movie soon!! Thanks for letting me completely go off about Drukkari lol
