Eternals Pt. 2 - They f*cking, y'all!

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! We are back with special guest Abbey M.
White with the conclusion of our discussion on Marvel's
Eternals.  The episode picks up with the remainder of our
thoughts on our favorite small group pairings in the film. 
Next, we talk about the impressively diverse cast and whether
Eternals manages to be equitable and inclusive, rather than just
having diversity for the sake of diversity.

With a slate of fun and exciting super powers on display in
Eternals, we could not resist talking about which power we would
like to have and why.  Of course we would be remiss if we
did not discuss the criticism of Eternals.  In particular,
we explore the film's use of non-linear storytelling and whether
or not it was effective.

The MCU is known for its action sequences and there are some
really notable fights in Eternals.  We talk about how
Eternals manages to fit within the Marvel algorithm while still
being unique in some aspects when it came to featuring battles
and conflicts.  You know what was outside the Marvel
algorithm? Our heroes having sex! You know we had to discuss
that.

We dabble a bit into the mid and post credit scenes and share our
thoughts on whether or not we are really done with Ikaris. 
We then share our MVPs and discuss whether or not the use of big
Hollywood names was a blessing or a curse with respect to
audience and critic expectations.

Of course no episode of I'ma Need More Wine would be complete
without things getting a little thirsty.  The discussion
concludes with us discussing which actors from the film make our
heart skip a beat so much that we're hoping the Eternals can buy
us more time with them by stopping the Emergence.
