Why didn't the Celestials stop Thanos?
It's briefly mentioned in the movie Eternals that the Eternals are forbidden to interfere in human affairs. The terror created by Thanos and his 'Snap' are specifically referred to as events that the Eternals ignored.
The Eternals are answerable to the Celestials. Wouldn't the Celestials have acted to stop Thanos, given that half of the Celestials would have been wiped out by Thanos too?
Best Answer
The Celestials were beyond the power of the 'Snap'
Thanos, with his 'Snap', wiped out half of all life in the universe using the combined power of the Six Infinity Stones, also known as the 'Six Singularities'.
The Celestials, according to the text at the beginning of the movie Eternals, existed before the 'Singularities' came into existence.
In the beginning... before the six Singularities and the dawn of Creation, came the CELESTIALS.
Given the indifference of the Celestials to Thanos' schemes, it would appear that having originated before the existence of the Infinity Stones, the Celestials were simply beyond the power of the 'Snap'.

Did Thanos try to stop the Celestials?
Thanos wanted to preserve life in the universe (with very questionable methods, though), and The Emergence, which meant the destruction of entire planets, went against that. The snap would have become even more important to him as it meant the delay of The Emergence, thus saving planets and lives.Did Thanos know about the Celestials?
thanos himself literally stated his planet was overpopulated and that's why it was destroyed. the celestials were all just a coincidence.Why didn't the Netherlands gain territory after World War 2? (Short Animated Documentary)
