[Light spoiler for Eternals]
It took 26 movies, but Eternals has the first sex scene in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No, this scene from Iron Man doesn’t count.
“You can’t tell a mature love story if you’re not gonna do some kind of…” director Chloé Zhao told Variety about the tender moment between Sersi (Gemma Chan) and Ikaris (Richard Madden) before trailing off. “It’s lovely to see two people show physical affection for each other — a kiss, make love.” The Best Director winner praised Chan and Madden for doing “such a great job… It’s very tasteful. You can feel the genuine love they have for each other.” I’m not sure if “tasteful” is what people want from a sex scene, but then I remind myself it’s a Disney movie and put on Disobedience again.
As you might expect, there’s been a mixed reception to the scene. If you Google “eternals sex scene,” the first result is a Daily Beast article with the headline, “Marvel Finally Made a Sex Scene in Eternals. It’s So Bad You’ll Wish They Hadn’t.” But now that Eternals is out after a year-long pandemic delay, let’s see what others are saying.
There’s the hot camp:
The sex scene was so hot & sexy & had me sweating like crazy while watching it & while their is no full-frontal nudity since #Eternals is PG-13 you do get to see Richard Madden’s back & abs & Gemma Chan naked in the sand on a beach as the sunsets. It’s not a bad sex scene at all! pic.twitter.com/zg4Aoo2DVK

And there’s the amused and/or making jokes and/or awkward fraction:
Lol, Marvel trying to hype up the Eternals sex scene when there’s a Paul Verhoeven film coming out this year https://t.co/FO9cVJ5SXn pic.twitter.com/W0cjCo5ug0

Guy whose only experience with sex was watching the Eternals sex scene having actual sex for the first time: getting a lot of “Eternals” vibes from this https://t.co/rICe45sAfV

The sex scene in Eternals is not a sex scene.
If that's what we're calling sex scenes now, then we've just become prude as viewers.
