Eternals: 24 WTF Moments

10. Sprite Loves Ikaris

Though Sprite's inability to have a typical relationship with a human being is understandably tragic, less convincing is her pining after Ikaris.

It's not-so-subtly suggested that Sprite has a thing for Ikaris early on, but this ultimately feels manufactured solely to give Ikaris an ally later in the film when he hatches his villainous plan.

Sprite ends up briefly turning against the Eternals to help him, though her efforts are soon enough scuppered when she's knocked out with a rock by Druig.

Given that the film already has more than enough nonsense romance to sift through, did we really need this?
