Eternals: 24 WTF Moments

You get no points for realising of your own accord that Ikaris' (Richard Madden) name is extremely similar to Icarus, the Greek mythological being who famously flew too close to the sun, melting his wings and causing his own death in the process.

It's revealed fairly early on that the myth of Icarus was actually created by Sprite while living on what the Eternals believed to be Mount Olympus a long time in the past.

Several characters mockingly refer to Ikaris as "Icarus" during the film, and in case you hadn't been bashed over the head with the metaphor yet, Ikaris ends up committing suicide at the end of the film by flying headlong into the sun out of shame for his villainous actions.

Someone, somewhere, thought they were being clever and subtle with this, but ultimately it's just a bit cringe-worthy and very on-the-nose.
