I saw it as taking the piss out of themselves. That intro is tremendous.

I think the intro is the only thing I loved about that episode. Hell, if they would have done the whole episode that way it would have been epic

Im not up in arms about it or anything. Its really awful though. Both the initial climax and the given climax are both outlandish. At least the proposed climax addressed plot strands. What we got resolved nothing and just said things were resolved. If thats all it takes is a throw away line we could have listed the major plot points in the 1st act of 101 and announced them resolved in the 3rd act and saved me 4 hours.

Well, that was certainly one way to end the show.

All the things you were liking and/or invested in? None of that. Wink into the camera and roll the credits.

I’d have been OK with the subversion if they’d actually delivered something afterwards. But that? Nah.

I haven't read she hulk in a while, but last I checked she would break the fourth wall. Not tear the whole thing down and take a hot steamy shit on it.

She has had conversations with the writers before. It's completely on brand. Maybe it's because I didn't have high expectations or something but this really didn't bother me and I laughed my ass off. Unfortunately, the thing with "Kevin" was somewhat ruined because of the subtitles being on and that kind of gave away the jig.

If it was just using the netflix menu to get somewhere quick, that would have been great, but it was followed by a giant meta dump that abandoned every plot thread.
She talked to writers in the comics but don't recall her ever doing it for half a damn issue. |

Quote:
I don't just mean where they skipped the ending and hand-waved it away by literally just saying "... and everything worked out in the end" without actually fixing the intentional car wreck that was going on with the "original" climax, but because of that, the whole show was dangerously close to final season of Game of Thrones. But yeah, that thing where they skipped having an actual resolution was pretty lame. I preferred the bullshit made up on Futurama for "Single Female Lawyer" to this. Like, half the narrative is about Jen being mousey and not having agency in her life until she becomes Shulkie, but the whole show is simultaneously about She Hulk ultimately not having agency in the MCU. You have a show like Loki, that is a device to explain concepts like different versions of the same person and introduce Kang as an impending big bad. You have something like WandaVision using the narrative devices of old sitcoms in a creative fashion to show Wanda's simultanious detererating mental state and upswing in magical ability.... but it's like this whole thing was just a setup to establish Wong and Abomination having a relationship (not like that) that might as well have had a big placard in front of it that says "for future movie use" and say "Yeah, we got Daredevil on Disney now, suckas!" She Hulk felt almost like an aftertought in her own goddamn show. Even Cousin Larry Appleton being her dad made him seem like more of a story-essential person than her. How are you second fiddle in your own series? It was kinda fun at times, but in the end, pretty empty. And from the same place that scrapped Squirrel Girl for being "too gay"... which begs the question, how lazy in the writing department would that show have been? |

I didn't get the point of the series. It was just overall naff.

Just finished watching this last night, I really enjoyed it. Just takes a different route from the usual Marvel series/movies, but I liked it.
K.E.V.I.N. and the whole finale was fun. "Are we getting the X-Men?", "See you on the big screen"... "the movies?", so many fourth wall breaks that were fun. Daredevil's return (as Daredevil) was fun. Not only has Charlie Cox not skipped a beat, but the stride with pride was absolutely hilarious... "good morning"... Really good show. I'm sure She-Hulk will be a lot more serious and focused if she makes it to the big screen, but I enjoyed the series and look forward to another season. |

The whole fourth wall thing in She-Hulk fell flat with me. Perhaps it is because I grew up with Saved by the Bell, Clarissa Explains It All, and Malcolm in the Middle; so I'm use to that thing. Plus, Kevin Spacey kind of owned it in House of Cards.

No. I like Deadpool. Unlike She-Hulk, it is actually funny and entertaining.

Women can be funny (30 Rock for instance), but She-Hulk was not funny. It was just naff.

The episode with Daredevil is hilarious. Loved when he was teaching her the difference between goons and henchmen.
