One thing I despised about the finale is them making fun of their CGI, which is only scuffed in the first place because of Disney working their artists to the bone and underpaying them, so using their toils for a punchline is just messed up.
2 little corrections 1) writers are not corporate, they don't run everything through corporate, and they don't make the bad decisions that lead to bad CGI 2) a big reason the CGI is bad is due to the soft features I'm assuming corporate pushed onto the artists. This becomes very clear when you compare her to ruffalo. You can see the BIG difference is the amount of roughness on ruffalo's face, the beard, scars, etc. It adds this level of realness that you can't do with soft features.
Completely on board with coming to the defense of the workers involved behind the scenes in the CGI but I don’t think “making fun of the CGI” was the case, they just said “you are very expensive” and she changes back off screen to be “budget friendly”. That’s not exactly the same as when Taika joked in public about some of the Love & Thunder CGI being rushed and bad
“Seeing Matt Murdock for the first time in years” Damn Dr Strange’s spell even made Marcus forget No Way Home. Side note the wildest and most unbelievable part of this show is that the only person to find Jen attractive outside of she hulk form is a blind man.
I don't think it was that they didn't think human jen was attractive, and more so the fact that She-Hulk just interested and drew them in more, and jen was just boring by comparison.
@@ZenSymphonia Also in part what you'll here from a lot of women in their 30's is dating is rough. she is attractive, she is smart and she's confident which intimidates a lot of men so they constantly over-compensate.
@@omas1178 We are talking about numbers here. Black Panther made a lot more than Thor 3 and Guardians and many people knew that this is a movie with 99.5% black actors. The problem with Ms. Marvel wasn't the racism.. the problem was so many many stupid and boring shows in Phase 4 and again Ms.Marvel was lazy and boring. People just stopped watching Disney MCU.
Yet, they had a 6’7” woman on set as “a body reference” for She-Hulk, when they could’ve easily painted her green, have her act as She-Hulk (like Lou Ferrigno in the 1970s) and saved millions of dollars in VFX.
Pretty much par for the course with Disney's hypocrisy given what they did with Peter Pan in that terrible _"Rescue Rangers"_ movie despite being the very company who destroyed his child actor in the first place.

Season 2 should include a _Chowder_-esque segment where Jen decides to stay as She-Hulk for as long as possible to the point where her CGI becomes increasingly worse until it gets removed completely, leading her actress to work some other job until she gets enough money to get her CGI back.
Them calling it a law show is a bit of a stretch after realising the writers themselves admitted they can’t write court scenes, especially over arching ones, which is why basically every court battle apart from Abomination is resolved after a single session or 2
In a world where movies and shows like Arcane, Battle Angel Alita and Wonder Woman exist people should really drop the "you guys just don't like women" argument.
It was a bit disappointing that the only real fight she ever had was against the Hulk, everybody else who forced her to use her powers was a joke and then they just ignored the natural ending they had set up to say "showdowns are dumb and CGI fights are too expensive so we're skipping it this time"
I'm genuinely so glad there weren't long set piece fights forced into episodes. Her fight with the hulk was the worst part of that episode. Its just not in line with her character. I would've zoned out if they tried putting more punching in the sitcom about a hot green lawyer who wants to date a nice guy and feel valuable.
Marvel is Cinema when they feel like it look at no way home which while it does entertain with action also has a good character development and a depressing story that actually grips at your heart strings
I was mostly just disappointed that it wasn't really a lawyer show at all. I was low-key really interested in a Marvel legal drama and we didn't get that.

I'm pretty sure in an earlier video Marcus mentioned that when judging a show he doesn't care that much about the writing quality. Even if I heard that wrong, wow does this video support that. Most people I know don't like this show because of the terrible screenplay and how it handles existing MCU characters and elements (Wong, Hulk, etc.), not because they hate women or because they simply wanted higher stakes. I feel like you're not getting why a lot of people don't like this show.
The problem is most of those aren’t genuine criticisms when people say them. They’re masking their dislike of a low stakes female led show in their fantasy superhero world. It’s not that hard to understand
Brother i think he said it when it comes to CERTAIN stories, like rogue on needs good writing for characters unlike the force awakens cause of how much smaller scale the plot is, specially considering how it ends.
The main reason I didn't like the show was because we had a lawyer show where the main character didn't win a single case by being a good lawyer and we just get told over and over again that she's a good lawyer but never shown.

95%+ of the males characters on the show were some combination of being jerks and/or being stupid. Is that realistic? More people would've complained if the sexes had been reversed and rightly so. Being bad writers the only way they can think of propping up jen is to make men around her look bad and turn her into a mary sue who doesn't need the training or experience of her male cousin Bruce 1-2 days after getting her powers. And/or the writers are radical feminists who think 95%+ of men are treating women badly. Have you ever heard a man refer to a woman as an "it" before that happened in an episode? In the comics bruce saved jen's life after she is shot by giving her an immediate blood transfusion with medical equipment he had and she later considered her new powers a gift. In the show that male bastard gives her powers she doesn't want after 1 or 2 drops of his blood falls into her wound while she, seemingly unnaturally strong for a woman, pulls his bulk out of a flaming car. Her starting off as self centered narcassist who generally uses her powers for selfish reasons rather than to help others made me think there was going to be some character arc where she would later change and be more heroic. That was too hard a job for the writers, in her final episode she ends up pretty much as self centered as in the first with the writers implying that that it is empowering. Also, the writers calling the show's writing bad in a 4th wall break in which they appear doesn't excuse the show's writing being bad.
I do think the speed of them trying to churn out these projects is severely impacting the quality of the projects. Taking more time to streamline the stories and touch up cgi could bring up the quality a lot. True fans are going to wait a few extra months for a better product which will serve characters and world more faithfully
It's only going to get worse. That's the business model now: shit out as much content within the year so the audience doesn't ask questions, consmes product, then gets excited for next product.
@@andrewhezekiahdaniel Urgh I hate it there is so much potential but at this point half the stuff they are producing falls so low. It's either underwhelming or clearly flawed. It's so much worse when you can see they have the parts to a great story that you would love to see play out but they just slap it together to get it out and make money as soon as possible
I mostly just think the show fails at the "attorney at law" part. It never shows us Jen as a competent attorney getting the legal upper hand in a clever way or actually show us interesting court cases in this world. Like, none of her cases should've made it to trial. All of the major revelations would be discovered in pre-trial deposition and they'd all likely settle before ever going to trial. None of them were worth going in front of a judge for. The most interesting and engaging one was the divorce arbitration with the immortal man. The legal aspects were pretty poorly done all things considered for a superhero lawyer comedy series. I wasn't expecting law and order levels of realism, but maybe something closer to the legal chicanery of Better Call Saul at least.
@@drewnolde2674 that's fair to say, I suppose I meant the mundane more than realism of law and order in terms of the legal proceedings like juror selections, depositions, evidence review, the justice system from soup to nuts. I know we don't need all of that in our quirky marvel show. But if you keep telling me she's a capable and intelligent attorney capable of working high profile cases, then I do expect compelling opening and closing statements, loopholes and research, and legally challenging court cases. Not junk lawsuits that would be settled out long before a trial.
Yeah, the writers admitted to not knowing how to write court stuff and it would be a lot to someone not already versed in this stuff to come up with real cases that would make it to a trial. I know the Netflix daredevil show wasn't super accurate in it's legal stuff but at least the trials were over big stuff like murder and corporate collusion.
I didn't particulary like the show, but I didn't think it was the worst thing ever. It had some cringey moments, but it's not supposed to be taken super seriously. It's like a sitcom, so I didn't expect much from it. I'm not big on sitcoms, so it wasn't meant for me.
I have two problems with She-Hulk. In the comics, Jennifer Walters is legitimately a badass lawyer. She's REALLY good at practicing law. In the show, it just doesn't feel like that. She sort of gets lucky all time, rather than her victories coming from her skill. The other thing is that the show is feeding the trolls. I would love to see what this same team would have made, if they weren't focused on, in the words of Jessica Gao, "Trolling the trolls." It feels like letting this small minority of hopeless douchebags set the agenda. It doesn't feel like a victory to me. It feels like they let these losers determine the course of their show. I love Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters. She was even more perfect for the character than I thought, and I was over the moon when she was cast. I do think the tone of the show is very faithful. The whimsey, the wall breaks, the taking the piss out of conventional narratives, that's all great. I just think they kind of missed an opportunity by focusing so much on a small number of hyper indignant dudes, instead of all the other stories about women's lives they could have been telling. Also, I really don't like how Jessica Gao admitted that none of them were any good at writing legal drama. I feel certain that there is no shortage of women writers and lawyers they could have brought in to help with that. I guess they wouldn't have to be women, but if I'm writing a show about female lawyer, I'm gonna be compelled to consult with female lawyers about their experiences.
But they weren't even attacking any "douchebags". Just anybody who criticised them was lumped under "manbaby hater". And while I don't agree with all the criticisms I've seen (even from creators I like), I assure you they were more nuanced than "show bad cuz woman". To my knowledge, pretty much everyone criticising the show is just disappointed because they were really excited to see the show.
Even though they make up a minority, I still think it’s important to talk about. I’ve never had the philosophy of “just ignore the trolls.” I’ve always liked to address them head on.
Gotta love a show where they assume people will hate this show, write it for the people that hate it, then pat themselves on the back while regular people wonder why there's no story and no good legal drama
I think the issue is being really good at practicing law can come off as boring. The way you evaluate if someone has skill in law is sitting through hours and hours of testimony. I don't know how they did it the comics but I would imagine it was over top and over exaggeration like how a lot of cop/lawyer shows are now a days. To me it's like asking is "Captain America a good soldier"? Well we don't really see him do the things that soldiers typically do. He sort of given command without any reason.
i swear the only responses i hear from people who watch MCU tv is… “it wasn’t for me but i can see why people enjoyed it” or “it wasn’t the best but it was fun”
And that’s a problem. We should be expecting more from the biggest fucking studio on the planet. We shouldn’t be content with mediocrity. We should be demanding more from our entertainment, especially from studios like Marvel. Also, I miss your videos Diesel😢
This cosomaunt quickie wasnt very good, marcus saying people not watching Ms Marvel because it has black people sounds like the gamerboy whine baby to me.
We should be expecting more from superhero content especially with The Batman blowing everything superhero related movie wise out of the water. I don't know why there's such a problem with critical thinking.
Instead of always having a weekly marvel show, I would much rather Disney take their time to produce a few good shows in a year. Give artists more time for CGI, give writers more time to flesh out story and make it intriguing
Also get better writers for the genre the show/s meant to be. She-Hulk was a law show and the writers themselves said they don’t know how to write court scenes
why is it so impossible to fathom that some people just genuinely didnt think the show was good Edit: Since my comment has clearly continued to cause some confusion, because I was not very specific, I will clarify: This comment is not directed at the user who uploaded this video in any manner. Rather, it was written in response to the topic (in a section of the video) of why some people may or may not like the show, and that he gets that. My question was more like "why can't other members of the Marvel fandom reasonably understand that it just isn't some people's taste, like this guy does, and not attack them for simply not liking the show?". Again: I am 100% aware he personally addressed this topic himself, my comment is not directed at his personal commentary or views presented in the video. It is a general, rhetorical question, over the topic of the discourse surrounding the show across the internet.
@@Anxioustate he did. I suppose I could have been more clear. it's just a general statement towards a lot of peoples attitudes around those who don't like it. generally pointed more at *some* of the comments in this video and the comments on Marvel subreddits
She-Hulk actually does the one thing I wish the other shows did, which is making disconnected episode. A lot of the other shows aren’t even shows they’re just chopped up movies with a bunch of extra fluff to fill in the 30 minute TV show quota. She-Hulk is more akin to the old animated cartoons where each episode has it’s own individual story & I can appreciate that.
This I picked up on as well. At first I didnt like the show because of this reason, I didnt feel connected to each story and I found it odd an MCU show didnt have an overarching story or plot points. In retrospective though, I actually thought She-Hulk was fine. Looking at it as it is and not as I expected it to be really helps. Also on that note, this show is not for everyone. I’m looking forward to season 2 edit: I WILL SAY THOUGH, some of the writing was really awful, especially in the earlier episodes. A lot of it came around, but this show deserves better writing for sure.
The main thing that I took issue with throughout the show were the allusions to a "larger plot" about people trying to steal Hulk powers. And I'm very glad the payoff to all of those plot threads was for Jen to just throw it all out at the end.
I think the show really needed to integrate the 4th wall breaking more regularly, then that ending would have been pitch perfect. It takes alot of inspo from Fleabag but the reason Fleabag works is the the 4th wall breaking happens almost all the time and ties into it's core theme and character arc. I think that's why my fav parts of the She-Hulk series was never the 4th wall breaking.
You know seing cosmo simp to the show isn't really that surprising, but seriously I'm still wondering how could you make such shitty claims? "Boohoo misogynist hate this show"okay? You do know that there are plenty of movies with a female lead, a perfect example is wonder woman, yet the reviews are actually great, compared to others with a lead actress like she-hulk and captain marvel, And Yeah wonder woman overpowers everyone including men, Which by your logic hurts a man's feeling, but you know why that movie was well liked? Because they didn't make her a dislikeable or annoying person instead a very humble and polite character and because the story was actually not that bad. Problem with shows like she hulk and Velma is that the show wants you to like characters who are annoying or dislikeable.
@SA_586 . Because he went from being an asshole, and selfish billionaire to a hero who tries to help people and ultimately sacrificed his life to save the world. (A very dynamical character indeed which shows struggle and development) I'm not saying being humble and polite (and very caring) are the only things that make characters likeable, you don't exactly have to make your characters polite all the time (cecil, but he's a pretty interesting character but he acknowledges that he's an asshole anyway) I applied those traits specifically to wonder woman, which were shown in a pretty believable way, but also because she's not cringy like other mcu chicks, and is not a perfect character who has no weakness, her weakness being of course caring for others, besides she's pretty badass too. My point is that she-hulk is a horrible example of how to write an empowering female character. (Same goes for Ray, but that's for shitty character development and being a pretty boring character too)
Sure there are some people who were over triggered at the show - but it's clear their focus was on making she-hulk the she-boss rather than trying to write an interesting character arc. The whole story was all over the place and the end was just a bad attempt at subverting expectations.
I agree with what you say about the ending, but She-Hulk 100% had a character arc throughout the show. I think it could have been done better, but acting like her arc of learning how to control her anger just didn’t exist simply isn’t true.
@@itschris1364 how does she "control her anger" exactly or come to terms with her identity? She gets angry at some dudes posting videos of her in college, smashes the monitor, gets arrested and that's it. There was no arc of learning to control her anger.

Or the scenes of her talking to Daredevil on the rooftop where he calls her out for causing property damage and she realizes she needs to control herself? We just skip those bits?
@@Animestar21 She was literally called out for that, it was presented as a character flaw. You wouldn’t criticize Tony Stark causing massive property damage in his movies because he was called out for it and realized it was wrong. The same happened here, what are you missing?
Hearing Marcus speak about this show and noticing how much he knows the character is very wholesome and refreshing on this circle of hell we live in. It would be nice if it wasnt for the fact that Marcus is A CONTRARIAN!
Huh? He made it patently obvious he didn't read the comics and knows little about the character. "This IS She-Hulk!" No Mark, it isn't, being funny isn't the same as being a joke. She-Hulk has always been a somewhat humorous superheroine who is also a lawyer, and before the last decade she barely lawyer'd. Hell going through his other videos he only has a passing knowledge of MOST fandoms he talks about.
That's definitely fair, but I still think that it had weird identity crises between what style of TV they were going for. Like it goes back and forth between a traditional marvel product, quirky sitcom, serious drama, etc. Just pick one lane and go for it imo
@@msaadah1223 I'm watching the Harley Quinn show right now and if Marvel really leaned into the episodic nature I think it could've been something special. Maybe even make it animated as well
4:36 I dunno if _Buffy The Vampire Slayer_ is the best example to use in defense of TV shows that "don't spend all season building up to a main villain who is then defeated" _Buffy_ may have been quite episodic (more so in the earlier seasons), but literally every single season had a main antagonist whom Buffy had to defeat at the end, and a lot of the episodes served to advance the main arc of each season. Season 6 is somewhat different because the Trio doesn't do much and none of them is the "Final Boss". But their actions directly lead to Tara's death which results in Willow going Dark and becoming that season's "Final Boss".

I love episodic TV shows like Seinfeld or B:TAS, but I gotta admit that I prefer a mix of serialized and episodic storytelling. Something like A:TLA, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, or Clone Wars, does both perfectly.
That line you said about how some people believe episodic shows are pointless really resonated with me in terms of cartoons. Seems like every cartoon needs to have some kind of mystery set up, needs to comment on a very sensitive issue related to the protagonist, or a complicated storyline that needs 3-4 seasons to properly tell.
THIS!! I remember last year when Disney's new cartoon, The Ghost and Molly McGee, was shown to be a musical comedy and people were asking the creator on Twitter when the show was gonna get "darker", when the whole point of the show was that it was supposed to be light-hearted. People were so conditioned to see shows like the Owl House and Amphibia, also on Disney, were more dramatic with higher stakes that they automatically assumed every show after would be the same, as if variety amongst programs isn't a thing. As someone who prefers more slice of life and comedic shows that don't show children in danger semi-regularly, it's really disheartening to see that every cartoon has to be "adult" just to get taken seriously
Yeah, that's even Lampshaded by Jennifer herself in the climax. The whole focus of the show (in her vision) was her acceptance of both of her sides and living with it.
Mysteries, interesting protagonists, and complex plots are interesting. A status quo and shorter, less complex plot lines are generally less interesting Episodic isn't necessarily bad, but there's a reason we moved towards the first. You get much more attached to the characters. Episodic is ok for comedy, but that's because pure comedy can be boring on its own for all those reasons.
@@user-dc5xe9tv7n Shows like star vs the forces of evil would've been perfectly fine if it kept with the episodic adventure comedy. But once it started focusing on issues like racism and fucking relationships, it just went downhill from there.

Exactly! Except Daredevil. And Pug. oh and Bruce, Blonsky and the therapy group and the date guy...oh and Wong. but other than that EVERY MAN WAS AN INCOMPETENT BOOB!
Good thing Wong, Pug, Hulk, Daredevil, the doctor she hooked up with, and even Wrecker in the therapy episode (after he had reformed) were none of those things. So I guess it shows that there's guys who are good and not so good? Man, are you guys even trying?
Also I loved the group therapy session. While the characters were comedic, they didn't treat the idea/concept of (group) therapy as a joke. And as someone who has spent years of his life attending sessions like that, it felt nice.

One thing I will say, as someone who has not read the she hulk comics and went into this with just a blanket mind not caring for the comics, I was frustrated a lot. Whilst I agree with your reasonings in terms of arc and how it played out, it does have to be said, episode 3 completely ruins it. I was on board from episode 5 onwards and thought it got better till the finale which I just rolled my eyes cos I more or less knew a dunking was coming
While on the topic of an arc. An arc is about a character changing due to development. What actually developed with Shehulk? She can do everything she could at the end since the beginning and her pov and opinions also haven't changed
@@legendaresn6983 to me, there was an arc, it could be seen on episode, the setups were there in episode 4 and 6. She began trusting and in the final episode the trust was broken and because she was a bland generic character, she became paletteable for the viewer who experienced being led on for an ulterior motive relate. The subversion is my frustration. I get the meta commentary just fell flat though there were layers of that coming in episode 3.

I'm not that invested in she hulk or the manufactured outrage surrounding the show, but by god if they ever make a Squirrel Girl show they better do it justice
@@spacebook8923 But the whole point is that it's not SHITTY, it's just mediocre. You cannot reasonably tell me this show is on the same level as Eternals in comparison to other Marvel productions. The MCU has just raised standards SO MUCH to the point where a harmless show caused an outrage simply because it's mediocre and has a female protagonist as a stereotypical "girlboss" like the video said. It's not sexist to like the show, and yeah, it does have problems and annoyances, but it really is not objectively "bad" by any means. The outrage is manufactured because it's a FORCED outrage--there's nothing inherently wrong with the show in comparison to literally anything else Marvel has made, other than it not having big ramifications for the MCU like Wandavision, Loki, Falcon and Winter Soldier, or Hawkeye.
@@revolv8379 I think the fact that the show wanted you to be invested in it only to do one of the least funny 4th wall breaks to tell the audience that the show is complete ass and that the writers had no idea what they were doing is what makes it so bad. “Our audience thinks the show is ass? Well we did that on purpose. Aren’t we so smart?” Yes I know She Hulk originally did 4th wall breaks, but it seems so insulting for the writers to tell everyone that the show sucks balls and they are geniuses for pointing that out. It’s not funny at all and just squashes any investment in the show
@@spacebook8923 I hated the fourth wall breaks throughout the show. The first couple were fine but I thought the continuation of them were unbearable. The fourth wall break ending was so jarring and random, but it weirdly worked for me, mostly because like the video said that I agree with-there was no real overarching villain like the rest of the marvel shows. People expected a big epic fight to break out because it’s normal for marvel movies and shows, so they forced one in the finale (where it didn’t belong). It wasn’t about the show being shitty with no build up, it was about the supposed expectation of writers bosses and the audience of a big climax when it’s not always necessary in lower stakes environments. Sorry for ranting, and I’m not trying to say you’re wrong lol I just find it interesting
I don’t care about the low stakes or lack of a story. I care about the fact that the show just isn’t funny or well written. The show literally rewards Jen for being a bad person. Not to mention the extremely lazy finale
My problem with this show is how shallow it is. It doesn't go anywhere below the surface in the law part, or the fighting, or the She-Hulk, or the comedy, or the growing character, etc. I mean, imagine a hobby that her character likes. See? It's such a shallow character, that she doesn't feel actually real. Tatiana was the only thing that saved this show.
I kinda disagree with the point about her hating on men because when it's the other way around people get pissed the fuck off like if you gender reverse the show it would get cancelled
@@reina8284 bruh what no, I understand the history behind it but we shouldn't be normalizing sexism the other way around politics have nothing to do with this, we should all treat each other with equal respect regardless

@@reina8284 her character development doesn't really change she just meets daredevil and gets laid, her whole character arc is getting laid through out the show and being sad when the guys aren't interested after
@@reina8284 she's also incredible arrogant towards Bruce in the beginning of the show when she says she doesn't need help managing her anger when Bruce was hunted down by the military for 10 years, watchwe his dad murder his mom and abuse him for years so I think Bruce knows way more about managing his anger and has had a much harder life
I never usually laugh in Marvel shows or TV. but Bruce saying "I'm a different person since Harlem, literally" and Jen going "hah" at the audience, alluding to Edward Norton's Hulk, made a genuine chuckle escape from my mouth. I love the 4th wall breaks.

@@benkrauss5041 all they have to do is add a couple inside jokes and some 4th wall breaks and then people will defend the product to the death “you just didn’t understand the meta jokes”
I think the problem that people had with She-Hulk always stems from that one scene where she blatantly puts down Bruce and says she has things tougher than him while he's trying to help her. That scene made Jen look selfish and mean-spirited.
she is looks at how often she groans eye rolls or puts her hand to her face because of her family look at how she hits him with a jeep claps at him and attacks him hulk or not they are family
@@sweeeeeeeeeeeeee Note: She-Hulk wasn't comparing Bruce's personal trauma to her own life. She was comparing the level of control she has over her emotions/transformation based on the level of control she's had to maintain her entire adult life vs what Bruce would have had to do in the same circumstances (Hulk-issues aside). I also don't think MCU Hulk actually went through that trauma involving his father since it never actually came up. Ang Lee's standalone Hulk did, but the only mention of Bruce's father in the MCU was him missing his father's funeral because of Ross and I think some reference to them being estranged. MCU treated Hulk as a separate entity entirely (to the point that he holds a conversation with Hulk in Infinity War) rather than the disassociated personality he had developed as a child. Even if he did have the father problems, part of Jennifer's close relationship with Bruce in comics is that she helped him deal with it when they were growing up so I doubt she'd be referring to that directly.
@@MLM68 jesus christ, if you're going to bother to comment, could you make an attempt at a complete sentence ? even for a youtube comment section that was some gibberish.
The breaking the 4th wall thing could be done as a slow burn like the Grant Morrison run of animal man from the 80s. Great hints and characters learning to the titular character meeting the writer. Would love to see that adapted faithfully
The uploader rambling for 15 minutes straight defending She hulk, overthinking, giving bullshit reasons, when its just simple good or bad. 4:08 hes even comparing it to Mandalorian that has 8.7 rating. What a joke.
I agree with you on most points and I liked the idea of it being a lawyer show but I feel like the lawyer parts were the most poorly written thing and I just wish that part was moor interesting to me Edit: also I think that the big 4th wall break isn't good for a finale and would have been better for the middle of the season and that would have changed the direction of the show or plot
Honestly the episodic format would've been a lot easier for people to digest if it focused on the legal aspect (and the court scenes were better written). And I didn't gel with the comedy for the most part.
I feel you man, like I know it is a comedy/lawyer show but idk I did not feel like it was funny nor it really took the lawyer side seriously. Like I'd like to say that the 70% of jokes don't land, and as per the lawyer stuff I feel like other shows have done the hole ordeal better more serious and smart
This is the biggest issue imo. I would’ve loved a “legal comedy” but that’s not really what we got, I also think Matt should’ve been more present because Marcus is right it was cute seeing them together. & Jen severely needed more things to make her likable. All she does is whine & complain about her life & job, after whining & complaining to the hulk about all she wants is to go back to her life & job.
Honestly my biggest complaint for the show was that I wish it had more law stuff that was taken slightly more seriously. I'm not saying I didn't like there being comedy in the courtrooms, I just wish the legalese was a bit more believable.
The show is terrible, bad story, bad cgi, bad characters/character adaption. There isn't really a thing they do right, so while it's not the worst show ever, it's also inarguably bad as it fails on every level that a show can fail on.
It had a better story than Deadpool, the CGI is fine, the characters are better than in Titans or Arrow. Fragile Broflakes were against it, that's the only issue here.
@@ShadowSonic2 1. Story lacks all substance and the characters lack development. 2. Cgi was seriously bad, go watch Shrek and tell me Fiona isn't animated better than she hulk. 3. Being better than the arrow verse in any regard is not an accomplishment. Use some analytical skills, I'm sure you have them.
The only thing I disliked about the show was how they handled her getting her powers, mostly because I think having some of Bruce's blood smeared on an open wound is significantly goofier than a full-blown blood transfusion. But it also would have been more fun if she had a more challenging time managing her powers, like having her accidental Hulk out or having an episode where she can't turn it off, just showing more of the practical challenges of being a Hulk.
....but that's literally the trope she mentioned in the finale as dumb. The whole blood transfusion, transfer, secret vial of superhero blood nonsense has been told a million times. And the whole "oh I have new powers I can't control properly oops" has also been told a million times. This story tho, it's different, it's a vibe, and it's hilarious
I had the same thought, but then I realized MCU Bruce would never allow someone to get a transfusion of his blood. That was the plot of the Ed Norton movie.
Totally agreed on your CGI point. I thought it was definitely better in the last couple episodes. You could see a noticeable difference. That said, good work! And it'll get better the more they can use her.
I thought the cgi was better when she hulk wasn’t in a bright room like her office or in day light, whenever she was in a dimmer lighted room or at night it looked very good imo
I'm not saying it's the worst show ever made, but it is by far and away the worst show I've ever seen. I feel like those defending this garbage only does so because it alignes with their personal politics, not because the contents of the show has any merit
I liked them making fun of the way marvel becomes formulaic for theit endings i just eished that the ending that comes of it had a little bit more time to play out. Also i had no issue with the she hulk twerking post credits scene and somehow people saw that and said "This is when the mcu died" like what its a character being a person
Just cause the show is actually mid doesn't negate that most of y'all that slapped that dislike button and wrote angry comments likely just mad cause femoid, both this and Captain Marvel are just mid as hell and nobody would have talked as much about them had they not had a woman in the lead role. Its fucking obvious. I miss when shit like Elektra and Daredevil and Catwoman and all that were equally ridiculed cause they're bad and folks weren't randomly spending all their free time making sure the worst reviewed, rated, talked about thing isn't the actual worst one, but the one that scared me cause it had a woman in it.
Thor 2 is also dogshit. And Thor 1 is barely tolerable. Black Panther is the most "meh" movie in the MCU, and the And-Man movies are cute, but very forgettable.
@@literallyvergil1686 I watched it in theaters and completely agree, the script was a mess, but I would still give it a 7.5. Overall an 8.5 cuz it was slightly good but forgettable.
Right wingers are the true snowflakes. Just look at what they care about: Some disney and marvel shows having women or black people or gays. They arent racist, sexist homophobes tho its just a coincidence that they almost always have conservative views.
she-hulk was kinda meh for me which is disappointing/frustrating because it has good bones. she-hulk is a fun character (and they got her right), tatiana maslany is a great actress, and "self-aware superhero lawyer episodic sitcom" is a fun idea. the execution just wasn't that good. it doesn't bother me because it's a terrible show, it bothers me because it could have been much better. also daredevil is my favorite superhero and I (like everyone else) loved the netflix show. that being said, I think they actually did a good job being true to the character (especially for a 1 episode supporting role) while also matching the tone of the show. I've seen a lot of people bring up the waid daredevil run (and you can totally tell between the people who have actually read it and the people who have just seen funny panels lol) and it's true that even though there are lighter versions of daredevil they don't just drop matt's angst and issues (mark waid has even straight up said his new chipper attitude in that run was a facade...the guy was just recently possessed by a demon, avoidance may actually be a better coping strategy at that point). it's a balance. BUT again, supporting character in one episode of a funny she-hulk show where the episodes aren't super long or anything. OF COURSE he's going to match the tone of the show and they're not going to get into all of his issues. all the people who expected him to be angsty and brooding or for the show to dedicate time to his crap are giant idiots. they did daredevil totally fine (and pretty damn faithful to the daredevil of the waid run tbh), it obviously wasn't going to have the same tone as the daredevil show (but even then he still made jokes and stuff). stop complaining. also while I can appreciate them using the the yellow suit for one episode (plus it's kinda cute because it's his first time in the suit in the greater mcu), I never want to see it ever again. the yellow is just not working lol. but they gave him back his billy club with the cord which makes me happy, because him fighting with it is super dope. and I liked the little homages to the daredevil show like the hallway fight or them including the daredevil theme,
It was awful. Ok?? The comics are not the movies and vice versa. The movies are supposed to be on a different level. Not comedy slapstick, surreal shit. This show made the 1966 Batman look realistic and serious .. 😂
SHAAL might be the first MCU project that actually bothers to have standalone episodes that aren’t required to understand the overarching plot, which is one of the great strengths of TV
That bit you said about people caring more about story driven shows than episodic shows these days holds very true, especially for animation. Ever since Gravity Falls and Steven Universe came out, it feels like all people care about are story driven cartoons and like, it's not like those shows are bad, it's just that episodic stuff is great too
@Lucas Alves Exactly. Like that whole Cuphead Show debacle. People complained about the show not being story focused and I was like, "Bruh, the show is based off of old cartoons from the 30s and 40s where they were all episodic. What were you expecting?"

This. She-Hulk was one of my favourite Marvel shows because it was so comfy and secure of itself. It didn’t need to blow my mind, and in not doing so, I really enjoyed it
One thing I despised about the finale is them making fun of their CGI, which is only scuffed in the first place because of Disney working their artists to the bone and underpaying them, so using their toils for a punchline is just messed up.
Yes, pointing it out isn't exactly addressing the issue.
Hopefully they unionise soon, then the writers won't be making little pot shots at them for being overworked and underfunded
To be fair, the writers don't know that. And the episode is made months before the controversy.
2 little corrections
1) writers are not corporate, they don't run everything through corporate, and they don't make the bad decisions that lead to bad CGI
2) a big reason the CGI is bad is due to the soft features I'm assuming corporate pushed onto the artists. This becomes very clear when you compare her to ruffalo. You can see the BIG difference is the amount of roughness on ruffalo's face, the beard, scars, etc. It adds this level of realness that you can't do with soft features.
Completely on board with coming to the defense of the workers involved behind the scenes in the CGI but I don’t think “making fun of the CGI” was the case, they just said “you are very expensive” and she changes back off screen to be “budget friendly”. That’s not exactly the same as when Taika joked in public about some of the Love & Thunder CGI being rushed and bad
“Seeing Matt Murdock for the first time in years”
Damn Dr Strange’s spell even made Marcus forget No Way Home.
Side note the wildest and most unbelievable part of this show is that the only person to find Jen attractive outside of she hulk form is a blind man.

Yet, they had a 6’7” woman on set as “a body reference” for She-Hulk, when they could’ve easily painted her green, have her act as She-Hulk (like Lou Ferrigno in the 1970s) and saved millions of dollars in VFX.

I agree but a lot of people just can't seem to seperate their personal bias, when reviewing the show.

Brother i think he said it when it comes to CERTAIN stories, like rogue on needs good writing for characters unlike the force awakens cause of how much smaller scale the plot is, specially considering how it ends.

95%+ of the males characters on the show were some combination of being jerks and/or being stupid. Is that realistic? More people would've complained if the sexes had been reversed and rightly so. Being bad writers the only way they can think of propping up jen is to make men around her look bad and turn her into a mary sue who doesn't need the training or experience of her male cousin Bruce 1-2 days after getting her powers. And/or the writers are radical feminists who think 95%+ of men are treating women badly. Have you ever heard a man refer to a woman as an "it" before that happened in an episode? In the comics bruce saved jen's life after she is shot by giving her an immediate blood transfusion with medical equipment he had and she later considered her new powers a gift. In the show that male bastard gives her powers she doesn't want after 1 or 2 drops of his blood falls into her wound while she, seemingly unnaturally strong for a woman, pulls his bulk out of a flaming car.
Her starting off as self centered narcassist who generally uses her powers for selfish reasons rather than to help others made me think there was going to be some character arc where she would later change and be more heroic. That was too hard a job for the writers, in her final episode she ends up pretty much as self centered as in the first with the writers implying that that it is empowering. Also, the writers calling the show's writing bad in a 4th wall break in which they appear doesn't excuse the show's writing being bad.
I do think the speed of them trying to churn out these projects is severely impacting the quality of the projects. Taking more time to streamline the stories and touch up cgi could bring up the quality a lot. True fans are going to wait a few extra months for a better product which will serve characters and world more faithfully
It's only going to get worse. That's the business model now: shit out as much content within the year so the audience doesn't ask questions, consmes product, then gets excited for next product.
@@tagus100 I know I'm so frustrated about this
Yes they're just pumping out content to stuff the machine, and much of it is mediocre.
@@andrewhezekiahdaniel Urgh I hate it there is so much potential but at this point half the stuff they are producing falls so low. It's either underwhelming or clearly flawed. It's so much worse when you can see they have the parts to a great story that you would love to see play out but they just slap it together to get it out and make money as soon as possible
@@cosmicriptid Unfortunately the quantity is unlikely to be reduced for MCU (and Star Wars) content. Therefore they need better writers.
I mostly just think the show fails at the "attorney at law" part. It never shows us Jen as a competent attorney getting the legal upper hand in a clever way or actually show us interesting court cases in this world. Like, none of her cases should've made it to trial. All of the major revelations would be discovered in pre-trial deposition and they'd all likely settle before ever going to trial. None of them were worth going in front of a judge for. The most interesting and engaging one was the divorce arbitration with the immortal man. The legal aspects were pretty poorly done all things considered for a superhero lawyer comedy series. I wasn't expecting law and order levels of realism, but maybe something closer to the legal chicanery of Better Call Saul at least.
I’m not sure law and order is realistic either. It’s justice system propaganda.
Hello there, fellow attorney ;)
@@drewnolde2674 that's fair to say, I suppose I meant the mundane more than realism of law and order in terms of the legal proceedings like juror selections, depositions, evidence review, the justice system from soup to nuts. I know we don't need all of that in our quirky marvel show. But if you keep telling me she's a capable and intelligent attorney capable of working high profile cases, then I do expect compelling opening and closing statements, loopholes and research, and legally challenging court cases. Not junk lawsuits that would be settled out long before a trial.
Yeah, the writers admitted to not knowing how to write court stuff and it would be a lot to someone not already versed in this stuff to come up with real cases that would make it to a trial. I know the Netflix daredevil show wasn't super accurate in it's legal stuff but at least the trials were over big stuff like murder and corporate collusion.
I think people who don't know much, or care much about Law bullshit, didn't really care much if it had realism.

I have two problems with She-Hulk. In the comics, Jennifer Walters is legitimately a badass lawyer. She's REALLY good at practicing law. In the show, it just doesn't feel like that. She sort of gets lucky all time, rather than her victories coming from her skill. The other thing is that the show is feeding the trolls. I would love to see what this same team would have made, if they weren't focused on, in the words of Jessica Gao, "Trolling the trolls." It feels like letting this small minority of hopeless douchebags set the agenda. It doesn't feel like a victory to me. It feels like they let these losers determine the course of their show. I love Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters. She was even more perfect for the character than I thought, and I was over the moon when she was cast. I do think the tone of the show is very faithful. The whimsey, the wall breaks, the taking the piss out of conventional narratives, that's all great. I just think they kind of missed an opportunity by focusing so much on a small number of hyper indignant dudes, instead of all the other stories about women's lives they could have been telling. Also, I really don't like how Jessica Gao admitted that none of them were any good at writing legal drama. I feel certain that there is no shortage of women writers and lawyers they could have brought in to help with that. I guess they wouldn't have to be women, but if I'm writing a show about female lawyer, I'm gonna be compelled to consult with female lawyers about their experiences.
Yes, exactly, thank you.
But they weren't even attacking any "douchebags". Just anybody who criticised them was lumped under "manbaby hater". And while I don't agree with all the criticisms I've seen (even from creators I like), I assure you they were more nuanced than "show bad cuz woman". To my knowledge, pretty much everyone criticising the show is just disappointed because they were really excited to see the show.
Even though they make up a minority, I still think it’s important to talk about. I’ve never had the philosophy of “just ignore the trolls.” I’ve always liked to address them head on.
Gotta love a show where they assume people will hate this show, write it for the people that hate it, then pat themselves on the back while regular people wonder why there's no story and no good legal drama
I think the issue is being really good at practicing law can come off as boring. The way you evaluate if someone has skill in law is sitting through hours and hours of testimony. I don't know how they did it the comics but I would imagine it was over top and over exaggeration like how a lot of cop/lawyer shows are now a days.
To me it's like asking is "Captain America a good soldier"? Well we don't really see him do the things that soldiers typically do. He sort of given command without any reason.
i swear the only responses i hear from people who watch MCU tv is…
“it wasn’t for me but i can see why people enjoyed it”
or
“it wasn’t the best but it was fun”

@@ivanbobanovic chill out and take a moment to read the comment I left responding to someone who said the exact same thing you just did.
She-Hulk actually does the one thing I wish the other shows did, which is making disconnected episode. A lot of the other shows aren’t even shows they’re just chopped up movies with a bunch of extra fluff to fill in the 30 minute TV show quota. She-Hulk is more akin to the old animated cartoons where each episode has it’s own individual story & I can appreciate that.
I mean I guess but despite that there was no Arc for She hulk she didn’t change from the beginning at all
It has no story
The word you're looking for is "episodic".
This I picked up on as well. At first I didnt like the show because of this reason, I didnt feel connected to each story and I found it odd an MCU show didnt have an overarching story or plot points. In retrospective though, I actually thought She-Hulk was fine. Looking at it as it is and not as I expected it to be really helps. Also on that note, this show is not for everyone. I’m looking forward to season 2
edit: I WILL SAY THOUGH, some of the writing was really awful, especially in the earlier episodes. A lot of it came around, but this show deserves better writing for sure.
@@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375 Wrong lol
The main thing that I took issue with throughout the show were the allusions to a "larger plot" about people trying to steal Hulk powers. And I'm very glad the payoff to all of those plot threads was for Jen to just throw it all out at the end.
@@spideyguy3315 this kind of ending is literally what the show is making fun of 😂

@@spideyguy3315 no. Just save it for the movie. Or the thunderbolts cameo. Legal comedy sitcom means it's not supposed to be taken seriously
@@spideyguy3315 you didn't watch the video, did you?
I think the show really needed to integrate the 4th wall breaking more regularly, then that ending would have been pitch perfect.
It takes alot of inspo from Fleabag but the reason Fleabag works is the the 4th wall breaking happens almost all the time and ties into it's core theme and character arc. I think that's why my fav parts of the She-Hulk series was never the 4th wall breaking.
You know seing cosmo simp to the show isn't really that surprising, but seriously I'm still wondering how could you make such shitty claims? "Boohoo misogynist hate this show"okay? You do know that there are plenty of movies with a female lead, a perfect example is wonder woman, yet the reviews are actually great, compared to others with a lead actress like she-hulk and captain marvel, And Yeah wonder woman overpowers everyone including men, Which by your logic hurts a man's feeling, but you know why that movie was well liked? Because they didn't make her a dislikeable or annoying person instead a very humble and polite character and because the story was actually not that bad. Problem with shows like she hulk and Velma is that the show wants you to like characters who are annoying or dislikeable.
Finally!
Someone who's speaking the same language.
Edit: Not literally, i meant like,
the 'same spirit'. LoL
How is Tony stark is likeable when he isn't humble or polite 🤔
@@SA_586 he learned humilty and to not be such a dick, unlike she hulk who’s still a sexist narcissist
@SA_586 . Because he went from being an asshole, and selfish billionaire to a hero who tries to help people and ultimately sacrificed his life to save the world. (A very dynamical character indeed which shows struggle and development)
I'm not saying being humble and polite (and very caring) are the only things that make characters likeable, you don't exactly have to make your characters polite all the time (cecil, but he's a pretty interesting character but he acknowledges that he's an asshole anyway)
I applied those traits specifically to wonder woman, which were shown in a pretty believable way, but also because she's not cringy like other mcu chicks, and is not a perfect character who has no weakness, her weakness being of course caring for others, besides she's pretty badass too.
My point is that she-hulk is a horrible example of how to write an empowering female character. (Same goes for Ray, but that's for shitty character development and being a pretty boring character too)
@@FOAB-Carlos based
Sure there are some people who were over triggered at the show - but it's clear their focus was on making she-hulk the she-boss rather than trying to write an interesting character arc. The whole story was all over the place and the end was just a bad attempt at subverting expectations.
I agree with what you say about the ending, but She-Hulk 100% had a character arc throughout the show. I think it could have been done better, but acting like her arc of learning how to control her anger just didn’t exist simply isn’t true.
@@itschris1364 how does she "control her anger" exactly or come to terms with her identity? She gets angry at some dudes posting videos of her in college, smashes the monitor, gets arrested and that's it. There was no arc of learning to control her anger.

4:36 I dunno if _Buffy The Vampire Slayer_ is the best example to use in defense of TV shows that "don't spend all season building up to a main villain who is then defeated"
_Buffy_ may have been quite episodic (more so in the earlier seasons), but literally every single season had a main antagonist whom Buffy had to defeat at the end, and a lot of the episodes served to advance the main arc of each season.
Season 6 is somewhat different because the Trio doesn't do much and none of them is the "Final Boss". But their actions directly lead to Tara's death which results in Willow going Dark and becoming that season's "Final Boss".

Cosmonaut the Contrarian comes through again…
I love episodic TV shows like Seinfeld or B:TAS, but I gotta admit that I prefer a mix of serialized and episodic storytelling. Something like A:TLA, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, or Clone Wars, does both perfectly.
That line you said about how some people believe episodic shows are pointless really resonated with me in terms of cartoons. Seems like every cartoon needs to have some kind of mystery set up, needs to comment on a very sensitive issue related to the protagonist, or a complicated storyline that needs 3-4 seasons to properly tell.
THIS!! I remember last year when Disney's new cartoon, The Ghost and Molly McGee, was shown to be a musical comedy and people were asking the creator on Twitter when the show was gonna get "darker", when the whole point of the show was that it was supposed to be light-hearted. People were so conditioned to see shows like the Owl House and Amphibia, also on Disney, were more dramatic with higher stakes that they automatically assumed every show after would be the same, as if variety amongst programs isn't a thing. As someone who prefers more slice of life and comedic shows that don't show children in danger semi-regularly, it's really disheartening to see that every cartoon has to be "adult" just to get taken seriously
Yeah, that's even Lampshaded by Jennifer herself in the climax.
The whole focus of the show (in her vision) was her acceptance of both of her sides and living with it.
But the problem is that this show set up a main plot then just chose not to deliver on it.
Mysteries, interesting protagonists, and complex plots are interesting. A status quo and shorter, less complex plot lines are generally less interesting
Episodic isn't necessarily bad, but there's a reason we moved towards the first. You get much more attached to the characters. Episodic is ok for comedy, but that's because pure comedy can be boring on its own for all those reasons.

@@legendaresn6983 to me, there was an arc, it could be seen on episode, the setups were there in episode 4 and 6.

@@benjacarrasco9447 these ppl are bad faith idiots that will hate watch just to cry about nothing or hate something they never play or watch. Heck the majority of the haters not oy didn't watch a single episode but they aren't even fans of comics or mcu stuff at all
@@benjacarrasco9447 mate, even Lucy from the movie Lucy is far better written than this, despite being a mock up parody and comedy of what it's like to achieve more than 10% of brain power with the main character (lucy) practically losing her character ever since she gains the plot goal
She-Hulk should literally be taken as seriously as Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Now that’s a cameo I’d love to see.
so lets laugh at her being catcalled then
Yeah it should but it won't be as good either way
Or a movie
Best cartoon ever made if you ask me. Other than The Real Ghostbuster, OBVIOUSLY.
It was bad even for a comedy show, but saying it's the worst thing ever is exaggerated.
I never thought I’d ever dislike a video of urs 😢
same lol
I'm not that invested in she hulk or the manufactured outrage surrounding the show, but by god if they ever make a Squirrel Girl show they better do it justice
“Manufactured outage”
Ah yes a shitty show being criticized is just all made up to make people mad. Sure buddy
Squirrel Girl could be amazing of they were self aware of her being a Mary sue and poked fun at it.
@@spacebook8923 But the whole point is that it's not SHITTY, it's just mediocre. You cannot reasonably tell me this show is on the same level as Eternals in comparison to other Marvel productions. The MCU has just raised standards SO MUCH to the point where a harmless show caused an outrage simply because it's mediocre and has a female protagonist as a stereotypical "girlboss" like the video said. It's not sexist to like the show, and yeah, it does have problems and annoyances, but it really is not objectively "bad" by any means. The outrage is manufactured because it's a FORCED outrage--there's nothing inherently wrong with the show in comparison to literally anything else Marvel has made, other than it not having big ramifications for the MCU like Wandavision, Loki, Falcon and Winter Soldier, or Hawkeye.
@@revolv8379 I think the fact that the show wanted you to be invested in it only to do one of the least funny 4th wall breaks to tell the audience that the show is complete ass and that the writers had no idea what they were doing is what makes it so bad.
“Our audience thinks the show is ass? Well we did that on purpose. Aren’t we so smart?”
Yes I know She Hulk originally did 4th wall breaks, but it seems so insulting for the writers to tell everyone that the show sucks balls and they are geniuses for pointing that out. It’s not funny at all and just squashes any investment in the show
@@spacebook8923 I hated the fourth wall breaks throughout the show. The first couple were fine but I thought the continuation of them were unbearable. The fourth wall break ending was so jarring and random, but it weirdly worked for me, mostly because like the video said that I agree with-there was no real overarching villain like the rest of the marvel shows. People expected a big epic fight to break out because it’s normal for marvel movies and shows, so they forced one in the finale (where it didn’t belong). It wasn’t about the show being shitty with no build up, it was about the supposed expectation of writers bosses and the audience of a big climax when it’s not always necessary in lower stakes environments. Sorry for ranting, and I’m not trying to say you’re wrong lol I just find it interesting
I don’t care about the low stakes or lack of a story. I care about the fact that the show just isn’t funny or well written. The show literally rewards Jen for being a bad person. Not to mention the extremely lazy finale
Also the only good law scene in the entire show was the one with Matt Murdock. The daredevil episode was actually pretty good
Thank you, someone who puts in two seconds of thought is actually in this comments section .
Nah I’m racist sexist and homophobic so I just don’t like this show
My problem with this show is how shallow it is. It doesn't go anywhere below the surface in the law part, or the fighting, or the She-Hulk, or the comedy, or the growing character, etc. I mean, imagine a hobby that her character likes. See? It's such a shallow character, that she doesn't feel actually real. Tatiana was the only thing that saved this show.
I kinda disagree with the point about her hating on men because when it's the other way around people get pissed the fuck off like if you gender reverse the show it would get cancelled
@@reina8284 bruh what no, I understand the history behind it but we shouldn't be normalizing sexism the other way around politics have nothing to do with this, we should all treat each other with equal respect regardless
@@reina8284 I could say the same thing about men most men who hate women either are unattractive and have terrible luck with women so they begin to resent them or they've been cheated on that applies to both genders, and this entire show just shits on men the whole time and makes us all look like pigs, we're suppose to feel sad when she false advertises herself as she hulk and the guy doesn't like her when she goes back to normal when you specifically showed yourself as a false persona of course they aren't gonna like you
@@reina8284 her character development doesn't really change she just meets daredevil and gets laid, her whole character arc is getting laid through out the show and being sad when the guys aren't interested after
@@reina8284 she's also incredible arrogant towards Bruce in the beginning of the show when she says she doesn't need help managing her anger when Bruce was hunted down by the military for 10 years, watchwe his dad murder his mom and abuse him for years so I think Bruce knows way more about managing his anger and has had a much harder life
I never usually laugh in Marvel shows or TV. but Bruce saying "I'm a different person since Harlem, literally" and Jen going "hah" at the audience, alluding to Edward Norton's Hulk, made a genuine chuckle escape from my mouth. I love the 4th wall breaks.
That was pretty funny, and it works in universe. I'm just so fucking glad they're referencing TIH again I fucking love that movie
@@kp1x the mcu can be lighthearted and still be good, the problem is the studio is pumping out half assed garbage in half the time they used to, so the writing is going to shit
@@benkrauss5041 all they have to do is add a couple inside jokes and some 4th wall breaks and then people will defend the product to the death “you just didn’t understand the meta jokes”
You’re the type of person who laughs at fart jokes in movies, of course you loved it. Bot.
@@benkrauss5041 Because they know they can half ass it and make just as much money
I think the problem that people had with She-Hulk always stems from that one scene where she blatantly puts down Bruce and says she has things tougher than him while he's trying to help her. That scene made Jen look selfish and mean-spirited.
she is looks at how often she groans eye rolls or puts her hand to her face because of her family look at how she hits him with a jeep claps at him and attacks him hulk or not they are family
this scene perfectly represents how disney writers feel about fans of the original material from before they bought it.
@@sweeeeeeeeeeeeee Note: She-Hulk wasn't comparing Bruce's personal trauma to her own life. She was comparing the level of control she has over her emotions/transformation based on the level of control she's had to maintain her entire adult life vs what Bruce would have had to do in the same circumstances (Hulk-issues aside).
I also don't think MCU Hulk actually went through that trauma involving his father since it never actually came up. Ang Lee's standalone Hulk did, but the only mention of Bruce's father in the MCU was him missing his father's funeral because of Ross and I think some reference to them being estranged. MCU treated Hulk as a separate entity entirely (to the point that he holds a conversation with Hulk in Infinity War) rather than the disassociated personality he had developed as a child. Even if he did have the father problems, part of Jennifer's close relationship with Bruce in comics is that she helped him deal with it when they were growing up so I doubt she'd be referring to that directly.
You’ve completely described yourself as one of the people he’s explaining in the video with that statement.
@@MLM68 jesus christ, if you're going to bother to comment, could you make an attempt at a complete sentence ? even for a youtube comment section that was some gibberish.
Watching this video feels like watching a kid trying to revive his --dead-- bunny
Worst show ever? No
Horrible show? Yes
The Magic Hour. Late night talk show with Magic Johnson was the worst show ever. But She Hulk IS close 😜
True, probably not gonna win Worst show ever when it's competing against Rings of Cringe and Velma. Solid bronze though.
The breaking the 4th wall thing could be done as a slow burn like the Grant Morrison run of animal man from the 80s. Great hints and characters learning to the titular character meeting the writer. Would love to see that adapted faithfully
ok
good idea
ok
The uploader rambling for 15 minutes straight defending She hulk, overthinking, giving bullshit reasons, when its just simple good or bad. 4:08 hes even comparing it to Mandalorian that has 8.7 rating. What a joke.
Love that comic.
I agree with you on most points and I liked the idea of it being a lawyer show but I feel like the lawyer parts were the most poorly written thing and I just wish that part was moor interesting to me
Edit: also I think that the big 4th wall break isn't good for a finale and would have been better for the middle of the season and that would have changed the direction of the show or plot
Honestly the episodic format would've been a lot easier for people to digest if it focused on the legal aspect (and the court scenes were better written).
And I didn't gel with the comedy for the most part.
I feel you man, like I know it is a comedy/lawyer show but idk I did not feel like it was funny nor it really took the lawyer side seriously. Like I'd like to say that the 70% of jokes don't land, and as per the lawyer stuff I feel like other shows have done the hole ordeal better more serious and smart
This is the biggest issue imo.
I would’ve loved a “legal comedy” but that’s not really what we got, I also think Matt should’ve been more present because Marcus is right it was cute seeing them together. & Jen severely needed more things to make her likable. All she does is whine & complain about her life & job, after whining & complaining to the hulk about all she wants is to go back to her life & job.
The directors said somethin about how they dont know how to write lawyer stuff.
Even the writers admitted that lmao
So I watch a superhero show to not see a superhero. So pretty much we got scammed
How much did marvel pay you to make this?
Honestly my biggest complaint for the show was that I wish it had more law stuff that was taken slightly more seriously. I'm not saying I didn't like there being comedy in the courtrooms, I just wish the legalese was a bit more believable.
I wish there were more cases. Less Wedding episodes and more Leap Frog.
Yeah I wish they removed that pointless wedding episode & just made it another case episode
I think the writers admitted that they suck at writing law scenes so that's why they weren't that many or as long
Or they could have made Night Court or Harvey Birdman in the MCU.
Marcus really woke up and chose violence and I could not be happier
I mean, is he wrong tho
@@bemysty how lmao
@@hagman1579 Read that again but SLOWER.
@@bemysty yes he is
Yes, but insulting your own audience repeatedly tends to just hurt yourself in the long run
The show is terrible, bad story, bad cgi, bad characters/character adaption. There isn't really a thing they do right, so while it's not the worst show ever, it's also inarguably bad as it fails on every level that a show can fail on.
The only show I can think of that is worse than this is The Following
It had a better story than Deadpool, the CGI is fine, the characters are better than in Titans or Arrow.
Fragile Broflakes were against it, that's the only issue here.
@@ShadowSonic2 1. Story lacks all substance and the characters lack development.
2. Cgi was seriously bad, go watch Shrek and tell me Fiona isn't animated better than she hulk.
3. Being better than the arrow verse in any regard is not an accomplishment.
Use some analytical skills, I'm sure you have them.
@@spicyladjr3650 tbh I liked it but reasonable
@@spicyladjr3650 1) No more than Deadpool
2) CGI wasn't bad
3) It's still better.
Try again
Guys stop being cringe while I make a cringe video about you guys being cringe.
Nah his video is correct you are just a clown
The only thing I disliked about the show was how they handled her getting her powers, mostly because I think having some of Bruce's blood smeared on an open wound is significantly goofier than a full-blown blood transfusion. But it also would have been more fun if she had a more challenging time managing her powers, like having her accidental Hulk out or having an episode where she can't turn it off, just showing more of the practical challenges of being a Hulk.
Ok but the show was utter garbage
Only thing lol 😆😆😆
....but that's literally the trope she mentioned in the finale as dumb. The whole blood transfusion, transfer, secret vial of superhero blood nonsense has been told a million times. And the whole "oh I have new powers I can't control properly oops" has also been told a million times. This story tho, it's different, it's a vibe, and it's hilarious
@@morbincentral3607 Keep crying. It's working.
I had the same thought, but then I realized MCU Bruce would never allow someone to get a transfusion of his blood. That was the plot of the Ed Norton movie.
Madisynn is truly the most powerful person in the MCU. I’m sorry she hurt you. 😔
If she’s not in the next Doctor Strange movie then I’m not watching it
She is cringe incarnate and I was hospitalized because she gave me an aneurysm, so yes, she did hurt me and my wallet
@@lazerstudios9982 they probably prescribed you copium, too. 😔 Poor dude…
There is nothing wrong with the guys: She-Hulk was an ab-so-lu-te sh*t show!
Totally agreed on your CGI point. I thought it was definitely better in the last couple episodes. You could see a noticeable difference. That said, good work! And it'll get better the more they can use her.
I thought the cgi was better when she hulk wasn’t in a bright room like her office or in day light, whenever she was in a dimmer lighted room or at night it looked very good imo
Obviously the first and last episodes have more money put into them because they are necessary viewing
@@ajforever101 YUP! Same thing. Darkness helps hide all CGI blemishes.
She was rendered using sims 3. It’s friggin horrible. But hulk looked good so what the crap is happening???
I'm not saying it's the worst show ever made, but it is by far and away the worst show I've ever seen. I feel like those defending this garbage only does so because it alignes with their personal politics, not because the contents of the show has any merit
I'm glad Marcus is finally fully embracing the contrarian
I liked them making fun of the way marvel becomes formulaic for theit endings i just eished that the ending that comes of it had a little bit more time to play out. Also i had no issue with the she hulk twerking post credits scene and somehow people saw that and said "This is when the mcu died" like what its a character being a person
Just cause the show is actually mid doesn't negate that most of y'all that slapped that dislike button and wrote angry comments likely just mad cause femoid, both this and Captain Marvel are just mid as hell and nobody would have talked as much about them had they not had a woman in the lead role. Its fucking obvious. I miss when shit like Elektra and Daredevil and Catwoman and all that were equally ridiculed cause they're bad and folks weren't randomly spending all their free time making sure the worst reviewed, rated, talked about thing isn't the actual worst one, but the one that scared me cause it had a woman in it.
“You only hate the female protagonist shows”
*coughs in Thor 4 and Doctor Strange 2*
Thor 2 is also dogshit. And Thor 1 is barely tolerable. Black Panther is the most "meh" movie in the MCU, and the And-Man movies are cute, but very forgettable.
Doctor Strange 2 was good what are u on
@@djibouti2136 Lmfao it really wasn't.
@@djibouti2136 nah it wasn't, it had great direction because Sam raimi is a master of his craft but the script is a mess
@@literallyvergil1686 I watched it in theaters and completely agree, the script was a mess, but I would still give it a 7.5. Overall an 8.5 cuz it was slightly good but forgettable.

The cold gaslighted him into liking the show
@@vcc947 Shush.
Probably that covid he claimed was a hoax
@@vcc947 stop
Right wingers are the true snowflakes. Just look at what they care about: Some disney and marvel shows having women or black people or gays. They arent racist, sexist homophobes tho its just a coincidence that they almost always have conservative views.
she-hulk was kinda meh for me which is disappointing/frustrating because it has good bones. she-hulk is a fun character (and they got her right), tatiana maslany is a great actress, and "self-aware superhero lawyer episodic sitcom" is a fun idea. the execution just wasn't that good. it doesn't bother me because it's a terrible show, it bothers me because it could have been much better.
also daredevil is my favorite superhero and I (like everyone else) loved the netflix show. that being said, I think they actually did a good job being true to the character (especially for a 1 episode supporting role) while also matching the tone of the show. I've seen a lot of people bring up the waid daredevil run (and you can totally tell between the people who have actually read it and the people who have just seen funny panels lol) and it's true that even though there are lighter versions of daredevil they don't just drop matt's angst and issues (mark waid has even straight up said his new chipper attitude in that run was a facade...the guy was just recently possessed by a demon, avoidance may actually be a better coping strategy at that point). it's a balance.
BUT again, supporting character in one episode of a funny she-hulk show where the episodes aren't super long or anything. OF COURSE he's going to match the tone of the show and they're not going to get into all of his issues. all the people who expected him to be angsty and brooding or for the show to dedicate time to his crap are giant idiots. they did daredevil totally fine (and pretty damn faithful to the daredevil of the waid run tbh), it obviously wasn't going to have the same tone as the daredevil show (but even then he still made jokes and stuff). stop complaining.
also while I can appreciate them using the the yellow suit for one episode (plus it's kinda cute because it's his first time in the suit in the greater mcu), I never want to see it ever again. the yellow is just not working lol. but they gave him back his billy club with the cord which makes me happy, because him fighting with it is super dope. and I liked the little homages to the daredevil show like the hallway fight or them including the daredevil theme,
not reading all that but good for you or sorry that happened

@@HPGIRL1109 and yet here you are replying to me. I guess we're all fools.
SHAAL might be the first MCU project that actually bothers to have standalone episodes that aren’t required to understand the overarching plot, which is one of the great strengths of TV
That bit you said about people caring more about story driven shows than episodic shows these days holds very true, especially for animation. Ever since Gravity Falls and Steven Universe came out, it feels like all people care about are story driven cartoons and like, it's not like those shows are bad, it's just that episodic stuff is great too
I watched those shows before the narrative was even taken off and felt completely episodic. I really enjoyed them.
@@BlazingKhioneus Same. Even for Amphibia for me. I loved the episodic feel the first season gave off
@Lucas Alves Exactly. Like that whole Cuphead Show debacle. People complained about the show not being story focused and I was like, "Bruh, the show is based off of old cartoons from the 30s and 40s where they were all episodic. What were you expecting?"
