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.
