- ↑ Marvel Television Live Auction Lot #703: Ward Meachum's New York Bulletin Newspaper describes Chan as a "92-year-old" in February 2016 (see 2016 references), meaning he was born between February 1923 and February 1924, approximately August 1923.

- ↑ In Eternals, Dane Whitman says on October 13, 2024 (see 2024 references) that Sprite told him that Ikaris and Sersi "broke up a century ago." A deleted scene from the movie shows that Sprite said it to Whitman on the same day. "A century ago" could mean exactly one hundred years ago, suggesting they broke up on October 13, 1924. However, it could also refer to "in the year 1924," "in the 1920s," or "in the early 1900s." A weighted calculation, putting more weight on the more specific, places their breakup on December 6, 1923.

The way in which Kale discusses her binding in the latter episode suggests that she is not rounding. A weighted calculation can therefore be applied and place Kale's binding on October 27, 1926.

With them only meeting properly in 1930 (see other references), the 1920s part must simply be taken to be in reference to just their childhoods and not quite their friendship, meaning at least by the end of the 1920s (1929) they were both growing up in the neighborhood together.
