She-Hulk - From Bad to Worse to Terrible

Not content with being oppressively awful in its own right, She-Hulk has breached containment and is now infecting the broader MCU. Daredevil gets the treatment in episode 8, but more importantly, its casual discarding of the Sokovia Accords proves just how bad is the decline in worldbuilding talent at Marvel.

    They lost me when Jen advised Bruce that she has infinitely more to be angry about, and she represses that anger on a daily basis, just because she is a woman. Meanwhile, Bruce has suffered an incredible amount of trauma in his life, and that trauma is completely dismissed with an agreeing smile by Bruce during the scene.

    I just realized, she insults a blind man's clothes, he plays it off as joke while still pointing it out. And then she does it again like 5 minutes later.

    The 4th wall breaks in the comics, as far as I've heard and seen a bit, were of Jen talking back to her author. Instead, the TV writers tried and horribly failed to make her Deadpool.
  • This episode did fix the one complaint everyone had from Daredevil though. Let's be honest we were all completely fed up of the perfectly choreographed fights scenes from that show and were just desperate to see what a fight scene would look like with really bad CGI instead.
  • I can't believe they casually and passively repealed the Accords. Civil War was such an important and catastrophic event in the MCU because the split in the Avengers is widely the reason Thanos won. It's also just a really good movie in which the main conflict is completely believable and in character for everyone involved. Then Ree-Hulk spits on it in a throwaway line.

    As someone studying law, by my understanding, there is essentially no way that an attorney with a beneficial relationship with a defendant could then represent a plaintiff against that defendant in litigation. It's a blatant conflict of interest.

    What's worse about Matt and Jen's relationship is that matt can't see. It couldn't be argued that he just did it because she looked nice. He did it for her personality. He thought she was actually nice.
  • Remember in the first episode when she bragged to Bruce how much more in control she was? She then proceeds to cause immense property damage basically every time she's not in a lawyer suit and going full Hulk in the second to last episode, and faces absolutely NO repercussions for ANY of it.
  • "Matt, no. Hulk went to a different galaxy to escape this shit; you can see why." Actually, he can't.
  • @rastifan7863
    She-Hulk almost kills Daredevil by tossing a random car at him for no reason. What a hero. If she hadn't sucked as a "lawyer", she would understands the meaning or property damage. I don't think she can afford to cover the damages, or replace it for that matter.
  • @BrennanCh06
    Shulk acting like she's never heard of DD is so telling. It's the authors mocking comics lovers, AND knocking down the more loved hero in the narrative
  • @MikeTXBC
    So She-Hulk eschews stealth because SHE is indestructible, right? Well, at least that fits her character being self-centered. I realize this would be a difficult concept for her to understand, but it's not about her! It's about the person she's rescuing who IS NOT bullet proof! It's about causing limited property damage when possible, and it's about not accidentally murdering people with your super strength! You'd think as a lawyer she'd understand how serious those crimes are, especially since her persona as She-Hulk is public and everyone knows who she really is, so she can't even hide behind a secret identity.
  • @gurp8298
    Its crazy how instead of having she hulk lose the case between her and daredevil, they just make her client a villian which shifts the blame on him so she doesnt lose to a man
  • @fanpug_
    I said on the first episode that she is actually like a female homelander and this episode actually proved it, she's just one step behind him in psychopathy
  • @benolson5791
    This video was fantastic! The only thing She-Hulk has done right was introduce me to this channel. Also, please right a review of the newest episode. I am in literal shock with how bad a single show can get.
  • @craig5322
    That quote about creating characters to belittle and hate is the most accurate thing I've ever heard
  • I think that the worst part of this show is that it exists on top with a mound of garage while underneath is a jewel that we used to call The MCU.

    “Fanfic writers grow up” As a new fanfic writer who have just gotten in to writing in general, I apologize for whatever literary abomination that was unleashed by my fellow writers

    Dude, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought you've been doing this for less than a year. The way in which you're being completely blunt about how this show messed up a bunch of things, MCU and Non-MCU related just makes me so happy. I honestly thought She-Hulk was going to be a show about Jen accepting her new identity and being happy about it (like in the comics) but instead we got someone who's always whining and complaining about her problems, but does nothing to overcome them. Also, she spends most of the episodes saying that she doesn't want to be She-Hulk, but when that's being taken away from her, she starts complaining again... Like, isn't that what she wanted? Also I'm impressed by how most men in the show are just complete douchebags, like this was a love letter to those "I Hate All Men" supporters. (Not to mention that Jen's only looking for someone to sleep with, instead of actually building a healthy relationship, and then thinking about having babies... Wth?)

    LOVE the jet fuel joke. Also, I almost spit out my drink when you said: 'I'm vaguely faggy myself'. Brilliant, mate. Brilliant. I'm here for all of it. Cheers!
