The conditions are thus:

It is confirmed in the project by either the character themselves or by another person. Maybe they speak of a partner, or say "I'm gay" onscreen

It is confirmed outside of the project by a director, actor, writer, etc. The specific thing about this is that it must be spoken about openly, not just "oh I like that idea!". No, it must be said, "yes, we intended for this" "this character is queer", you get the idea. This means cases like where Chloe Bennet voiced support for an openly bi Daisy Johnson in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." will not be counted, for while she does like it, she doesn't confirm Daisy as bi

The project must be set in the MCU timeline. If it is the subject of a multiverse, then that must be when the multiverse started branching out. "Deadpool and Wolverine" counts, but all other X-Men movies will not count

With these conditions, it also means cases like Iceman will not be considered, as even though him being a mutant is written like a coming out scene, he is still treated as being entirely het

Does that make sense? Good, let's get going

Like, I feel so many people in the mcu fandom shit on this film or say it should have been a series but I think it’s perfect as it is. It spoke to me on such a spiritual level and as a storyteller myself I really struggle to find the faults people had with it. Also I hate that people shit on Sprite, because they are me, I am them. I am the storyteller, I am a beacon that provides hope for humanity in the illusions I weave and I think so much of that part of her is overlooked because of the whole tinkerbell ikarus thing that was thrown in. People get so much more focused on that than the rest of her character. Anyway…

I am spiritual. I believe in reincarnation and believe that I have had many lives showing up as a storyteller to help move humanity along where I can. Although my body refreshes, my soul feels eternal and so this film, their experience and story meant so much to me. It was a pivotal part of my awakening journey that started during lockdown. The reinforced idea of old stories, myths and legends that start off based on real people and things but become fantastical and exaggerated or twisted until they are only a vague recollection of what was, but their messages of hope and the power of the lessons they teach still live on; it’s the cornerstone of my awakening and identity and it just affirms that inner knowledge I have so much.

I adore how the Eternals comics and movie explore the evolution of humanity and its religion and beliefs. The way it attempts to show the connectivity of a lot of religions people don’t see because people have weaponised them for so long to divide us. I love how it really plays with the ideas of ancient gods or aliens that might have existed alongside humanity way way way back before we can even fathom. Beings that may have helped in the construction of the pyramids and bridges the gap between native humans living on opposite sides of the world at different times who knew nothing about each other. It speaks to my souls in a way I don’t think I’ll ever fully be able to comprehend whilst I live in this human body, but I know it brings my soul peace.

And on top of that it’s just a visually stunning movie. The way it mixes sci fi with natural elements, from the circular motifs in their costumes and the visuals for their power (which symbolises the natural cyclical base root shape of our existence; the circle of life, our earth and solar system). The natural stone of the Domo and choosing to have a spaceship made of rock. The way that connects back to crystals and the idea of Atlantis and having natural things like crystals that power things.
