She-Hulk Is not the Hero We Deserve or Need

In this episode, Jennifer struggles for a few minutes. So I suppose that counts as progress.

hulk having phone service in space is killing me😭

Hulk using the UFO to bail was probably the smartest thing he's ever done as Smart Hulk

[HoDoBoDo]

The fact that you fixed the courtroom scene, and made it funnier than the final product just shows how loose and misguided Jessica Gao is as a writer. Episode 2 implies that *she* was the one who wanted to save those people. When in reality it was her bestie who motivated her to do it. I love it when writer's don't know about continuity. Also the fact Jen cowers away and does nothing is so funny to me, and she also showed no signs of responsibility in that moment, but the flashback sequence from Episode 1 made that clear, since she knows she is selfish, since she doesn't use her power to help people, and prioritises her job and outfit more than a human being. I seriously can't believe the praise this show is getting. It's honestly embarrassing.

If a show gets made, it sucks, and we all know it sucks, the solution isn't to "lower our standards" until we enjoy it again. Disney doesn't inherently deserve your money or watch time, they have to earn it. And this isn't earning it. Don't forgive mediocre content. Demand better content.

[Lion-O-Richie]

I despise the creator of this. She's just using this to attack men and she thinks she's being revolutionary for it. It's pathetic.

[BRONZALiVE]

I wish we could go back 10 years when they actually made good marvel movies, with good cgi, good writing and directing and I bet if she hulk was introduced in the earlier mcu I bet her character would be more faithful and not lean into this man hating bullshit that’s all over this show, but nowadays sucks

[strkronic]

I fucking died laughing at the "hard to believe abomination is up for an early release because...."

[NickCarroll]

There was also a dig at the Hulk, by her father, for wrecking a city, and Jen hasn't done that. It's tiring having all the digs at the biggest characters in the MCU, by the Marvel writers.

[OneClassicalLass]

The she hulk in the comics and older media was awesome! Still love her personality and design to this day!

[JiroAndroid]

It's fascinating to me that they are just throwing out references to a subplot going on with Hulk in space that seems infinitely more interesting than the actual plot of the show. It's like when you overhear a conversation and you're curious what it's about but your coworker won't stop talking and assumes you're interested enough to listen to them go on and on about something you don't care about

[bramvanderbolt]

This is great, I can watch the show without even watching it. And it’s even better then the original

[andrewryan]

I had a thought for how they could’ve made She-Hulk’s introduction more interesting while doing Hulk Justice:

Imagine she’s doing her thing of dunking on Bruce. Egging him on, talking down to him, minimizing his struggles. This combined with his jealousy results in the actual Hulk surfacing in rage. And he beats the snot out of She-Hulk. Like, it’s barely a fight. She gets some hits in, dodges here and there, but when a single hit lands she’s rocked by it whereas her punches barely phase Hulk.

He’s got her on the backfoot, and she starts profusely apologizing and appealing to Bruce, who manages to wrestle control back. He’s frightened, remorseful, and is apologizing for having hurt her. She shuts this down, owns up to being an insensitive bitch, and admits that she’s insanely lucky to have control. She comforts Bruce, reminds him of the good he’s done, and resolves to use her powers responsibly and with restraint. Bruce hugs his cousin, and says he believes in her, and lets her go back to her life. He himself then goes off to space, realizing there is still things he has to work on with The Hulk, and ought to be off-world for everyones safety.

This would have been SO MUCH BETTER than what we got in making Jen more relatable and sympathetic, without emasculating Bruce or preaching to the audience.

Would love it if you kept churning these out for the whole series

[kayag]

Take Bruces struggle with the Hulk. Having to grapple with a literal monster on the inside and get rid of all that. Just make her turn into a green WNBA player. Her stuggle is learning to be a Girlboss while being green

[Ethen-xktm]

When the YouTuber is a better writer than the actual She-Hulk writing team

[ericb]

Smart hulk is seen years after the snap taking selfies with children. I think in the mcu, he has long since been deemed a tame celebrity rather than a threat

[xpeter]

Just one thing about the video, it is VERY established that after hulk became smart hulk, the public definetly saw him as a hero, we see the kids taking a picture with him on endgame, people mentioning him bringing people back etc... so your point about people having to fear she hulk isn't really valid

[thunderstormstudios]

Tbh, my problem with the MCU isn’t with the stories made. It’s with how they were presented. Each character is literally a goofball. When Scorsese called MCU movies were theme park films, people attacked him at first, but then he was right. There’s no emotion, nothing. Each hero has suddenly turned into a goofball. We can’t get mature stories anymore. DC is becoming Marvel Phase 1 at this point. Shazam felt different than Aquaman, Batman, and the Suicide Squad. DC focuses on diversity in stories. Marvel focuses on diversity in people and agendas.

I'm so glad you posted the clip of Abomination literally KILLING all those people from the Incredible Hulk film. Because the She-Hulk series seems to completely overlook and discount how the families of Abomination's numerous victims would feel about his murderous actions and being up for parole. Jennifer selfishly took on a case without taking in consideration the pain and suffering of those people, let alone how she actually betrayed her own cousin by defending a man who tried to kill him and the woman he loves (or did love) at that time, Betty Ross.

[Timmypup]

When she takes off her shoes look at the ridiculous ‘action padding’ between Titania and the guards in the background. It’s like watching a Junior School play 😂😂
