[Editor’s note: The following post contains spoilers for “Eternals.”]
At the heart of Chloé Zhao’s “Eternals,” there is an epic-sized love story, the kind that both spans time (actual millennia) and place. But it eventually results in a rote examination of romance, and yes, sex. Much of the action of “Eternals” — another Marvel entry that threatens no less than the fabric of the entire universe; at some point, the stakes were raised so damn high that they can seemingly never go back down — ostensibly hinges on the fractured relationship of Sersi (Gemma Chan) and Ikaris (Richard Madden). But the pair’s ill-fated bond isn’t rich enough to hold up such weighty narrative.
Marvel movies aren’t always romance-less. Across nearly 30 films, the franchise has found the time to depict love stories involving Captain America and Peggy Carter, Iron Man and Pepper Potts, Spider-Man and Mj, Thor and Dr. Jane Foster, Star-Lord and Gamora, and (to a...

Spoiler Warning: This article discusses brief references in Marvel Studios’ “Eternals” that, while in no way related to the plot of the film that opens on Nov. 5, could be considered spoilers.
A throwaway pop-culture reference in a Marvel Studios movie is usually as common as a form-fitting unitard. But when Disney released a featurette last week for Chloé Zhao’s “Eternals,” in which a child refers to the Eternal named Ikaris (Richard Madden) as “Superman,” the moment was enough to launch dozens of deep-dive reaction videos and head–spinning tweets wondering “What does this all mean?!”
In the scene in question, Ikaris and Sersi (Gemma Chan) are at the home of Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry), a fellow Eternal who has started a family with his human husband, Ben (Haaz Sleiman), and their child, Jack (Esai Daniel Cross), who saw Ikaris fighting an evil Deviant on TV.
