I think the writers played themselves. In the quest to make Jen a strong independent woman they made Jen a narcissistic career woman with unrealistic dating expectations and as a result she is lonely and insecure, which kind of ironically reenforces the old gender roles.
It's even worse than that. By making Jen so strident and assertive, they left themselves no room to contrast her with her Hulk-form. The most interesting thing about a Jekyll&Hyde type character is in the differences in personality and the conflict that creates, but they dumped all that at the outset by giving Jen complete control over her hulk form with no change in her personality whatsoever. It's basically just a supersuit she can switch on and off. It's the most boring and uncreative take they could have had on this sort of shape-shifting power.
@@AliRadicali Hell, even having the base Jen personality be significantly meeker lends itself to that sort of idea (literally, even, as the original Jekyll&Hyde was more like a chemical-induced disguise than an actual transformation). Make the change in personality not an inherent property of the transformation but a by-product of being able to be a conventionally hot, basically indestructible green amazon and thus be the sort of person who can get away with lashing out more often. (You know, LIKE HOW IT IS IN THE DAMN COMICS), and you have a borderline perfect recipe for a story about the corruptive nature of gaining too much power too fast. And then you can have a freaking ARC as Jen realizes how she's actively turning herself into the monster Bruce was always scared the Hulk could be and you have something INTERESTING!
@@connorcampbell-bisson8721 Personally I would play up the contrast in character, especially early on: Have Jen be incredibly shy, meek and mousey, and have her become incredibly self-confident, assertive and hyper-sexual once she gets accustomed to her hulk-form. I wouldn't specify anything, but I'd certainly imply that She-hulk is more emotional and impulsive than Jen. As to whether her confidence is genetic or social, I think that's better left to the imagination of the audience. With this stark contrast and a downtrodden jen at the start, you can have an arc where she initially only sees the positives in being a hulk and refuses to turn back, only to later come to realise the good traits she'd had all along as Jen: Patience, responsibility, empathy, humility and a good work ethic. Towards the end you could have both personalities become less extreme, balancing out the other: Jen more confident, She-hulk less impulsive, Yin and Yang, that sort of thing.
@@AliRadicali Dude, that's seriously great but the basic problem you're overlooking is that the current panel of female writers for She-Hulk: Attorney At Law all SUCK, are incompetent and cannot form a coherent story even though they all were in a room together and literally paid to do so. She-Hulk needs a remake but due to the fact that Disney is holding the reins, even a remake would be reduced to WOKE nonsense. I have given up on both Disney and the M-She-U with a complete and utter vote of no confidence.
@@teamexpress851 I'm not overlooking that problem, I'm pointing it out. The show is inexcusably bad, even if we give the writers every undeserved benefit of the doubt.

What Drinker was describing I felt on episode 2 and that’s when I had to drop it. It was the scene where she visited her family and I just felt like I was being forced to watch this and I had to get up and walk around my house. Idk. Idk if it was like a panic attack or something but I’ve Never felt that way watching a show.
No kidding, i thpught the same. i had a hard time watching ep 5 of rings of power (even skipping through 70% of the episode), i cant even imagine watching this.
They really do make a joke out of alcoholism in this show. She binge drinks, hobby drinks, and drinks herself to bed and rather than learning a lesson about it she is given free reign to drink indefinitely because her hulk form sobers her up so she can go back to drinking. It enables her and even glorifies it
they are not needing therapy its the commentors above that are denial about the power these women have in the disney/corporate hiearchy, they just hate men and are powerful enough to put that into the tv shows they control
@@gobblelevclass3nuclearsubm393 I suspect that most people don't know what is happening in the country in general, when it comes to women and power. Women keep playing the oppressed minority card, and people keep falling for it. One great example: check out who is really orchestrating our potentially suicidal Ukraine policy. Perhaps we need to think less about testosterone poisoning and more about toxic estrogen.
It's up there Rageaholics burn about ROP "I'm not saying this show is a glorified laundering operation, but Amazon's new spokesman is f**king Snuggles".
@@FatherAndrew-Scarlet-Priest No that's not fair. You're a normal person with a sign of properly functional brain. These "writers" is truly "something else", so it's not fair to compare them with you.
The writers of She-Hulk: We cant do courtroom drama and legal proceedings. The audience: What is it that you think you CAN do? What, in your minds, is the 'good' part of any of this?
they've also said, that they don't know how to handle CGI in their writing or something like that. plus they're extremely unfunny, that's a fact. so pretty much we have a bunch of female writers, who don't know how to write courtroom drama and legal proceedings, or how to implement/handle CGI or how to be funny, but were specifically hired to write a comedy show about "she-hulk", a CGI-character and attorney at law. i mean, wtf, you literally can't make that shit up. it's absolutely mind boggling, how something like this can happen at a company, which is worth almost 200 billion dollar. disney definitely deserves to go bunkrupt, f*ck that shithole of a company. 😂
@@mrloqqe1610 At some point, companies like EA will just create products for the sake of creating products even though they are totally devoid of any kind of merit.
Well they obviously can't do action. Neither can they do a gripping storyline. They can't even do comedy right, and their sitcom attempt falls flat because they're unable to write an ensemble of decently interesting characters. So... I guess the only thing they're good at is writing random wish fulfillment scenes.
I have never heard of a show where the head writers admitted they do not understand nor care for one of the most foundational things on the whole show before. But they did it lol
13:55 Disparu hits on the major issue I've had with the direction society at large is going here. I saw it all the time in school. "You don't need to change", "you're unique", "people need to appreciate our different qualities", "you're perfect just the way you are", etc. Just a bunch of messages that never teach people how to cope, how to adapt, how to change themselves for the better, just the total enabling of selfishness, entitlement and the idea that the world needs to change to cater to your needs. No! That's not how real life works. That's not ever how it should work. You aren't owed anything, you need to work hard just like everyone else does. Once upon a time, you couldn't survive with a mindset like that, but so much ground has been lost to this attitude that now we're dealing with a generation of people that genuinely think this is the right way to be.
Absolutely and utterly spot on. I just can't believe how this is a widely accepted stance now, that you don't need to change and improve yourself but instead accept yourself being a zero. It's toxic, degrading and ultimately dangerous. It encourages bad behaviour, selfishness and entitlement.
What you say is very true, but you may overlook that what you describe is the male life ethos / societal framework. 95% of women expect men to display that "toughness / adaptabilt" but latest after age 25 - College education + 3 years most women and too many post-millenial men subscribe to "aristocratic loftiness" with each year more raising their expectation of entitlement. Life on a silber platter is what they want.
@@privatesmith1560 This attitude is without gender, you will find it in every walk of life, among every type of person. It's just how people have been brought up to be recently and it's completely unsustainable. Learning to deal with the harshness of reality and work to find the good parts is just part of a life. That's always been the way, since our days as apes. Modern society has only enabled the worst aspects of people, by providing them with far too much comfort. Why? Because it makes them stupid and easier to direct. That's why Hollywood and other industries like gaming have been taking advantage of it. We've bred a generation of stupid, spoiled brats. No man or woman or elephant with pink polka dots about it.
The thing is: if you think the world need to be changed, do it yourself (or find people to do it together with you) and don't expect others to change for you.
@@shauhame6364 But you see, if they have to take the reins, 1) that requires effort, which they obviously don't want to contribute and 2) that means taking personal responsibility for the things you do, which they're entire averse to. Accountability and work are not two things people with this mindset appreciate, which is why they force others to make the changes for them.
When Disparu says he's hoping for "some kind of plot" the first thought through my head was, "You're expecting WAY too much from modern writers to have that much foresight." followed by Drinker's wildly optimistic line. I laughed.
Honestly, it's wild how consistently bad woke storytellers are at telling a basic story. Things just happen in a linear sequence, as if the script were churned out by some AI. Almost all scenes just exist to lead to the next scene; there's no higher purpose to them in the grand narrative.
That was the FIRST GENUINE LAUGH I got from this show. When the guy just couldn't take the women bickering and jumped RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW! And they said they don't know how to write 'legal/court' stuff, so I guess they just thought it would be funny to go the completely ABSURD route?
That was the first thing in this series I could relate to. A few years ago a guy was going round a shopping centre, I believe in China, and after hours of meaningless meandering she told him she just wanted to go back to the first shop they went in... He jumped from the 6th floor balcony. Totally understand that.
If the roles were reversed. They would explode. But it's ok for them to write when the male side is the one being abused by the opposite gender verbally mocking them in the show. Like how they did it with The Hulk (* cough cough * correction * Smart Hulk ).
Mr. Immortal is a guy who in the comics lost his parents then got abused by his foster family, fell in love with another person in his foster family who was getting abused too, they started a life together and she killed herself due to PTSD from the abuse after what he ended up in a deep state of depression and tried to kill himself over and over but couldn't because he's immortal before trying to help others with his superpower despite it not being very useful in a fight. So She-hulk took that guy and turned him into a strawman of husbands who leave their wife without a word. The more time passes the more I think the MCU purposefully disregard characters who suffer from mental illness, it's the second time in a show where I've been appalled by their utter disregard of the subject.
Historically, humans haven’t had much sympathy for those who suffer from mental illnesses. Most people, I feel, only see how someone’s problems affect them, not the person who’s suffering.
Man that would have made for a perfect Segway for the marriage issues! Could have delved into Mr immortal feeling like he doesn't deserve a happy marriage or something after his troubled upkeeping so keeps finding ways to escape the partnerships. Instead, it was "LOL deadbeat husband BAD amiright ladies??? 🤪🤪🤪"
@@isaaclopez-cordell243 ...but that was the point, not to excuse men's bad behavior. I keep seeing these comments here and it's like, do you guys understand what show you're watching?
On the contrary, they support and promote a deeply miserable narcissistic loser as they push that lifestyle ad idealistic for young women. Though I get what you mean. Mentally deranged people often try to normalise their own illness since they lack the strength to identify it and go sort themselves out
I actually think episode 6 is a perfect example of how scared the writers are of giving Jen/She-Hulk any form of resistance or consequence. You have Jen showing up like She-Hulk, so her friend is pissed. Understandable, she's stealing attention. Then Titania shows up and starts a fight, but gets bodied the second Jen turns into She-Hulk. Didn't even break a sweat. In fact, Titania bodies herself, so it's not even a win for Jen. Then the friend, who should be pissed that she turned again, is just a fan. So not a single consequence in the entire episode. It's actually kind of impressive how little conflict there is in this show.
“It’s not even failing to achieve a point because there isn’t a point for it to miss.” I’m liking Little Platoon more and more cuz that was goddamn poetic.
At this point I would appreciate it if one of these woke entertainment vehicles were able to convey its message through storytelling, rather than overtly spelling it out for the audience scene by scene. That would be such a leap forwards.
It's a real shame, because, Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk is actually a fun character in the comics and the cartoons she's been in. In this show she just comes off as insufferable.
Even if they had to take this in a feminist direction, because of course they had to, it's 2022, they still could have told an intelligent story that challenges the main character's values and world-view. They had the perfect setup for a show that explores the conflict/contradictions within feminism around using sex appeal to get ahead. On the one hand you have shy, mousey Jen, who could be somewhat jealous and resentful of confident, beautiful women who use their looks to get ahead. Well, what would she do if she suddenly has access to that same confidence and beauty, would she stick to her principles? Would she bend the rules for herself? Would she find out that perhaps it's not as simple and black-and-white as she first thought? Even within the narrow confines of feminist ideology there still could have been room to tell an interesting story that challenges the hero and the audience. Instead Jen has to be such a girlboss that there's basically no contrast between her human and hulk forms, the latter is just big, green and made of horrible CGI. The whole point of a Jekyll/Hyde type character is to explore the differences and similarities between the two. She-hulk might as well be a costume to Jen. What a waste.
Because the writers self inserts themselves into She-Hulk. That explains all the bad writing and bad handling of the characters in the show that only complains about society, relationships, etc. rather than doing any real hero work like a Superhero would do.
@@AliRadicali Screw all of that: Make it actually funny! Lean into the nonsense! Make She-Hulk a wacky courtroom show about Marvel powers affecting society and civilians. I want to see the trial between London vs Stark-Industries after Far From Home. Or how maybe even a touching trial of the Vulture explaining why he did what he did in front of his wife and daughter. Then you can contrast that with wacky interactions, by completely leaning into the amazon-snu-snu stuff. Have She-Hulk go on Tinder, pick up some dude like a puppet and have the guy run out because his ego's hurt. There you have some soft commentary, but without going borderline predatorial on in. OH, the most important thing I would change: She-Hulk can't transform back. She's now stuck in Hulk-Form forever.
Because theyre getting the money from parents who are spending money so their kids can watch Beauty and the Beast... Theb they use that money on this. They. Lose. Nothing. In making "the message" shows.
"The writers have never gone on an arc themselves." BINGO! One of the first things they tell you in creative writing courses is "write what you know". So with She-Hulk what you are seeing is a snapshot of what these writers know.
Exactly, we’re in a time of great entitlement, selfishness, attention addiction, and superficial judgement. Struggling to these people is getting the wrong coffee, being misgendered, hearing someone having a different opinion, being unable to afford a luxury, struggling with relationships while being ruled by emotion, or other people failing to recognize their greatness
In my opinion there's two issues with most female protagonists recently. One is the "Mary Sue" they do everything right with almost or no flaws. Everything revolves around them but barely has to work for it. Example-Rey Skywalker. Oh god saying Skywalker makes me pissed. Ray nobody. Ray Palapatine whatever. The other issue is a certain kind of woman writing themselves and SJWness and their sad lives. I think the key to writing woman characters is making them imperfect, have struggles, still be bad ass, have growth. Basically everything for a man, but with some femininity.
@@3ericw Yeah thats a great synopsis, it reminded me a lot of Noelle from Black Clover and Eris from Jobless reincarnation and they're phenomenally written
If you met the new breed of writerz, it will not take long to figure out why they have put them on the ground floor and still bolted the windows shut....
"This shite that nobody is ever gonna find entertaining" I find it entertaining, for about half an hour every week I get to watch you guys tear it apart, thats very entertaining!
"She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" written for women in their late 30s who have no children, never had a relationship last over 6 months, gets a job simply by something that she had no control over, while drowning their sorrows that even they don't like themselves by those same kind of women.
Your gonna need more than just a simple bottle of duck bleach for that; Your gonna need pure fluoroantimonic acid to even begin touching this literal war crime.
You're not wrong. The writing seems like sixth-grade fan fiction, only more self-aggrandising. It's incredibly juvenile; very much a case of "everythig you can do, I can do better!! And boys are ICKY!!" from little girls wearing woman suits.
When you guys are describing She-Hulk's conflict with wanting praise for her talents instead of looks I think you are describing many women. I think a lot of them expect to get the same sort of reaction to their accomplishments as they do their beauty, but they just don't fundamentally understand that that's not how it works. Even hyper successful people don't get the same amount of praise and attention that a women can get from her beauty. When you are grinding away publishing papers or building a business or something no one is there raining compliments on you. The reward for hard work is more work. I don't know how to explain this more. It's just not the same and you shouldn't expect the same sort of response from others.
Well said. Also anyone regardless of gender can work, working is not hard in fact humans have spent all their history coming up with inventions so we don’t have to work anymore lmao. Then modern women came along and act as if working is some sort of achievement. Men like women for their looks and femininity not because they can write an article or drive a truck lol.
Yes, work is not something people appreciate, but is expected from you. (Some) women don't get that they are born with inherent value while men have to earn it. Industrialization made women enter the workforce, and since them they have been the unhappiest ever. You would think it's good to let women work if they want and are able to, but society fills them with the idea to "need no man, be strong and independen'!" so they get frustrated when work doesn't make them happier. There was this one female lawyer and winner of a beauty contest or something. Thew herself from the rooftop. She had everything these women would want, and still felt incomplete.
Very well said. You nailed it. This is precisely what these feminist shows do not get at all. They think that guys get compliments for their careers and everyone rains compliments on them just for being "successful" when that almost never happens. Maybe when you graduate college or a med school of law school all your family will compliment you for like a few days, then for the next twenty years no one does, you just work. That kind of thing (House, you are the most brilliant doctor ever!) only happens on TV and they fundamentally do not get it.
It is ok If someone likes this show that’s great.. I support their right to enjoy it, I support the creators right to produce content for that audience
1:48 Speaking as someone who has been subjected to large quantities of toddler focused media like Muppet Babies while babysitting my nephew, MUPPET BABIES HAS BETTER WRITING THEN SHE-HULK.
This is because Disney writers only know how to write kids TV shows, But while Muppet Babies was originally written by Jim Henson writers and was brilliant, the newer reboot of Muppet Babies was a big pile of poodoo. This is the same problem as with Star Wars, Marvel and all other Fox stuff, Disney doesn't know how to write any of it and they have all been disneyfied in the worst possible way. I was looking forward to SheHulk and in a very small way I still kinda like it but it's ruined everytime by the inevitable cringy 'man-hatIng' BS. This show had the potential to be very good and if they cut out all the 'men bad' crap it would be so much better, but as I said, Disney/SJW writers cannot write Marvel for s*** and are ruining everything.
This is why Spider-Man is my favourite superhero, he constantly has the shift beaten out of him physically, mentally and emotionally but he never gives up. That is a superhero. A superhero needs to be challenged by something that can actually overcome them, and the story is the hero overcoming that challenge, or even failing to and compromising. A hero that is never challenged or ever going to be challenged will never truly be a superhero.
I agree. Mr Immortal himself had the perfect opportunity for this. He's a character that goes through hell almost everyday with his backstory, but has to deal with it. Although being unable to die sounds cool, the comics show that he still suffers unbearable levels of pain from the injuries he gets by "dying" (and it's even worse when he comes back to life). He also clearly doesn't have any powers or skills to be a superhero (apart from coming back to life every time he dies), but he still does his best to be a superhero. Instead, it seemed like the writers just read his wiki bio and said "that's a cool power, might make people laugh", without actually understanding anything from the comics. Big Bertha also has a similarly emotional story about a supermodel with one of the worst mutant powers ever (to gain super strength by overeating, which comes with increasing her body mass). Despite being laughed at as Big Bertha, she still would rather help people as an oversized superhero than make millions becoming an International supermodel as her alter ego Ashley Crawford. Current Marvel writers would find a way to ruin this character if they ever think of bringing her into the MCU. There was a time I would have loved to see the Great Lakes Avengers join the MCU (preferably as an R-Rated, James Gunn directed series, similar to Peacemaker), but seeing how Marvel handled Mr. Immortal, I'd rather not think of how the GLA would turn out. If you didn't notice, the Great Lakes Avengers and Mr. Immortal are amongst my favourite Marvel characters. Definitely not my favourite, but top 10 atleast.
The reaction of everyone on the panel when the realization hits that it's 9 episodes is just gold. Then it turns to sadness cause now it hits me that this show is 9 episodes in total. This video says more in 22 mins than what She-Hulk has.
You nailed it on the head when you said that nothing really happens. 6 episodes in and we: 1. Don't have a real good background on the Jen Walters character, 2. Don't have an established foe, 3. Don't have several extended scenes where She-Hulk does stuff. Meanwhile, we're getting sub-plots with other characters, unrelated cases, and introduced to pointless characters who won't be there for the next episode.
After 3 seasons of Batwoman, 2 seasons of Star Trek Picard, 1 season of Naomi, She-Hulk is the next show I enjoy NOT watching but learning about through RUclips critics.
You literally see the episode by just reading the description. That's it. It's just so baffling. Also, fucking Jen seems to be surpassing Tony in terms of alcoholism. Like, wtf, how much can you have your main character drinking till people get tired of SEEING IT IN EVERY EPISODE
Feminists tend to subscribe to caricaturized archetypes. Drink whiskey straight and coffee black, that makes you an adult. 🙄 Hence all the people with imposter syndrome who never emotionally matured past the age of 14
It'd be the one true-to-life aspect of the show if it had ANY CONSEQUENCES for Jen, but of course it doesn't, because she is a girlboss. Like, you could have had at least a few of the conflicts in this show be caused by her obvious alcoholism: Maybe she was driving drunk when she totaled her car with Banner in it. Maybe she loses her job at the DA's office due to her latest DUI or whatever rather than *saving the lives of a jury*. Even the one flaw the writers left her character (of the ones the writers are aware of that is) isn't treated as such, the writers just think it makes her quirky and endearing.
I think the problem with She-Hulk is that there isn't a narrative taking place. No story. No end goal. Jen isn't driving the plot forward. Instead, events are happening in the world, and She-Hulk happens to be nearby. She's not making any decisions that have any effect on anyone or anything. This show feels like a bunch of individual scenes being filmed, rather than a story being told. There's been no character arc, story arc, or any development of anything. Just a self-congratulatory jumble of barely connected scenes. Tell me I'm wrong.
I love how you guys simply analyzing the show. Craft a perfect outline of the personality behind it and their troubled mind. The woman by default wanting the things / society has programmed them to not want. And it making them deeply unhappy to conform. But doing absolutely nothing to change. Showcasing the learned helplessness people have. Edit: SheHulk is like those types of art. Where if you splash paint on it and then use it like a stamp you get a perfect impression of a woman drowning while trapped in an ocean of reality. While another version of themselves is helping pull them down deeper into the water.
I love the point that Drinker makes about how it would be so much better if the show had Jennifer/She-Hulk becoming intoxicated with her newfound celebrity status, and disregarding the feelings of those around her. The Shazam movie did this perfectly, and it showed how Billy became something of an asshole when he gained superpowers
Watching this show is essentially the equivalant of that one scene in "A Clockwork Orange" when Alex is being subjected to those disturbing pictures with his eyes peeled back. In fact, with the way he was screaming, I'm inclined to think that he did have to bear witness to the future of television and Cinema. The poor kid.
I think Tatiana Maslany deserves some (sincere) recognition for doing a great job of portraying such an awful, insufferable character. She can't fix the lines, or the underlying vileness of Jen, but credit where it's due, she throws every pleading look and eyelash-bat possible into trying to evoke _some_ sort of - utterly undeserved - sympathy for her. It might even work on viewers who are as vapid and superficial as the writers.
I have absolutely no sympathy for people like her. They allow themselves to get blinded by the fact that projects like this are big opportunities that can further their careers and never stop to consider that they are stepping into crap that will more than likely blow up in their faces.
I clocked out after episode 2. I wanted to give it a chance, but i found i couldn't get through one episode without pausing every five minutes and do something else for a couple of minutes. You guys deserve a medal for soldiering on and suffer on our behalf. Disney really needs to stop and think for a moment about what they are doing with all their movies and shows, because i am weary of every single thing they announce will come out and that makes me not want to watch it and i'm sure i'm not the only one. Why don't they realise that they are just meant to entertain us and not lecture us?
There needs to be a counter-series made that takes each episode of She-Hulk: Failure at Large and shows it from a man's point of view. Hell, just a more realistic point of view. Shot scene for scene from the original, but with inner monologues from male bystanders and secondary characters pointing out the sheer stupidity of every situation in the show. Or even bystanders casually pointing out how unrealistic or utterly stupid everyone (especially Jen) is behaving. And maybe a 2 minute wrap at the end (confession style) from a guy who somehow 'survived' the cluster-f*ck of the episode that just happened. I'd watch that show.
@1:29 "I'm bored of knowing exactly what you think should and should not be happening in the world." Wow, this one really hit home. That's _exactly_ the problem with woke writing. It's not story-driven, it's grievance-driven.
Even grievance-driven fiction could be good if the writer knew what they were doing with it. Most woke shows just can't figure out if they want to be a dystopia or a utopia, so they try to do both at the same time. Take Game of thrones for example: The books and the earlier seasons are clearly dystopic, and by showing us how awful a non-progressive world is, the message is that we ought to be a bit more democratic and feminist than this medieval patriarchal hellhole. Then as the hack writers were running out of story to adapt, what did they do? They started including this bizarre and out-of-place girlboss theme where all of the major factions are suddenly ruled by women who get along and make 4th-wall-breaking commentary about how society would be better off with female rulers. Not only doesn't make no sense in the setting, but looking at it from a big picture perspective, having a bunch of assertive girlbosses running the dystopian patriarchy undermines the entire point the setting was supposed to be making.
Drinker, thank you for jumping on this grenade of a show so the rest of us do not have to. If nothing else it is an excellent reason for whiskey to exist.
I wouldnt drink whisky while watching this shit. I wouldnt want to build an association between the two in my mind. I wouldnt want to risk being reminded of Shit-Hulk when i have whisky in the future.
He literally said that is what he did; that isn't an implication..... Him: "I tortured someone so bad they had an out of body experience." You" Wow, I cannot believe you implied you tortured someone."
Its being constantly said this show isn't for those that are hating it and yet it will be used as the one and only excuse as to why it failed. Gotta give credit to Disney for actively pursuing an example of irony that people can actually watch and not read.
I detest that "it's not for you" line so much. Fiction's greatest strength is its ability to allow someone to experience the story through another person's point of view, even though they might have completely different biological traits or life circumstances. The best fiction has universal appeal, even if it has a clear target audience, because our shared humanity allows us to see ourselves in the characters. "It's not for you" is a copout for bad writing, and especially when the [faceless entertainment company] cynically decides to race- or gender-swap some beloved character to gin up controversy.
I think it's hilarious that the show can't go more than a couple episode without trying to mock its critics IN THE EPISODE. It shows that it actually WAS written for the critics and the critics are living rent free in the writers' heads. The writers just can't leave it alone and let the work stand on its own... they have to make their catty retorts.
Reminds me of the new (new) Charlie's Angels: "It's not for men" to "Reee why are men not watching it" Honestly if someone told me, this was made for me, I would take it as an insult. Like someone saying; "I made this hedgehog just for you" and handing you a pile of shit with toothpicks stuck into it
Perhaps the Logies can include a trophy section for "most expensive, carefully crafted utter garbage, designed to be repulsive to anyone with a pulse" and she sulk can have a win.
Yes and no. It's constantly shouting the message at the audience in very obvious on-the-nose dialogue, but it does a TERRIBLE job at showing any sort of message through the plot elements of the story. The reason this show feels so alien and like nothing is happening is because it's not a real narrative where actions lead to consequences. It feels like an AI-generated story where things just happen one after the other until the story ends. Despite how much they want the audience to think Jen is smart, competent and confident they manage to show the exact opposite.
“Try to break away from physical beauty but wants to be showered with praise” - welcome to 20th Century females; a paradox that desperately wants to be right 100% of the time
The part about existential crisis is spot on. I felt the exact same way after I finished it. I was just walking around my apartment for 5 minutes saying "what a piece of fucking shit what a fucking waste of time" and had to eat like 2 mangos to calm myself down.
@@eyespy3001 Wdym. Average mango net weigth is about 150 grams so two mangos are 300g. That makes about 42 g of sugar which is less than a large coke. And its more healthy. That said, I eat sugar to deal with shit, that much is true.
If I wrote a She-Hulk TV show, it would be absolutely awful, but I still feel like I could make it better than this. I would at least read every She-Hulk comic I could find and steal all the good ideas.
This was an amazing critique to listen to. You made what could have been excruciating subject matter engaging and interesting. Thank you Drinker! (And guests)
No, no! That's not what they're saying at all. Remember the Jen still has Captain America's ass on her phone and keeps trying to get dates. What you were supposed to learn was to DO BETTER. CLEARLY men should be submissive slaves who exist only for the pleasure of women and have no freedom or desires of their own. Jen's 'good' dates are all like this and all only fall apart once those men actually show they're not good slaves and assert some kind of independence.
My teenage daughter was slightly interested in this show, and I kept my opinions to myself, not to spoil it for her. She never actually realised that the show was supposed to be a comedy, and within a few minutes of Episode 5 (Jen buys a suit), she was rolling her eyes. by the end of the episode, she'd had enough of the show altogether. So what is the demographic they are aiming at?
For five episodes they were explaining how Hulks cant get drunk and on the sixth Jen got drunk? Leaving every other problem of the show aside, what the actual F? How is it possible the writers cant follow even this through the full 9 episodes?
Omg this was explained in the very first episode that as a Hulk they can drink a ton more alcahol than in their human form In the next episode the literally drinks tons as SheHulk and her boss asks her to turn back to Jen and she's instantly drunk. So, in this episode, her getting Drunk as Jen and then as soon as she changes to SheHulk she's no longer drunk is still the same exact thing. 🙄🙄🙄
Drinker, Mauler, Disparu, and The Little Platoon: Wouldn't it be fun to build careers off of watching movies and TV shows and talking about them? *SHE-HULK has entered the chat
Thank you, finally someone pointed out how the bride reaction at the end made NO SENSE. More on the point of portraying marriage - did we ever see the groom? Do we know his name? Show kept ignoring him so much, I was genuinely sure the nice guy whatshisname is gonna turn out to be him. I mean, this would make a decent joke - suddenly episode makes kinda sense, there's even some self-realisation / character development in there somewhere. But no, it goes nowhere!
I was wondering this too. The whole plot kinda made no sense. She invited Jen after a long time apart, as though she only wanted here there for She-hulk. Then tells here she doesn’t want her to be She-hulk. Then her and the bridesmaids take enjoyment in bullying her. Then she’s all happy when She-hulk shows up and almost wrecks her wedding. I was progressively more confused and assumed there would be some kind of conclusion or payoff to the situation, but nothing.
Little did we know they weren't making a show, they were making something to torture Critical, Mauler, G&G and Nerdrotic because they know that you guys will watch and review it. They got us good
This show only shows how being talented doesn't necessarily mean you'll get to what you deserve. Sometimes it's those who just so happens to fit the quota.
That lead actress is a sheer revelation in that someone so devoid of likability, charisma, or talent of any kind was picked to lead this show. She awful on every level, the kind of person no one would ever want to spend more than two minutes with. It's really amazing someone watched her audition, went through the process and signed off on her.
What Drinker is talking about is called "zoning out". The mechanism is kind of similar to emotional shock, where the mind gets slammed with inputs so fucking hard, it goes in to automated mode to artificially distance itself from the environment. Take "a step back", process the signals and reconnect back to reality. Frequent "zoning out" is sometimes the only weapon for victims of long-term abuse. If you managed to make someone without prior trauma zone out,then you might be pretty good at being very bad human being. ;)
I think what’s interesting is that the people on the show “Love, Death and Robots” consistently manages to create short films (that’s between like 10 to 18 minutes long) that are consistently a lot more engaging, better written, enjoyable and overall just better than the entirety of the Post-Endgame MCU. I mean hell just look at the season 1 episode “The Secret War.” It’s just over 16 minutes long and in that time it manages to introduce the various characters, explain the setting and make us genuinely care about what’s going on and the characters and deliver some of the best action scenes I have seen in a *long* time! Meanwhile, the only thing the current MCU has consistently managed to do is to bore me to tears whenever I have decided to give their shows a try.
Love death and robots is a fucking masterpiece. In jibaro you have the entire story of the Spanish colonialism in America without uttering a single word. Lucky 13 made you care about the relationship of a pilot with her aircraft fot fuck's sake
In a perfect world, Love, Death and Robots would be the most popular streaming show of all time. So many amazing ideas, characters, writing and visuals. Each new short is so exciting because it could look like anything, take place anywhere at any time. It pushes the boundaries of imagination on TV.
Tony Stark, when asked by the Captain what he was without his suit, said: "a billionaire genius playboy philanthropist." Jen without She Hulk is a drunken, miserable attorney, I guess.
a she-hulk show where she is trained to use hulk powers and is sent on special missions by shield but also has a life as a layer person would have been dope. like a completely duck out of water type situation but she becomes hella lethal and is told that she is some secret anti-hulk contingency for if bruce banner ever goes off the rails.
They also meant they had no inclination to even try to learn how either. I mean, I'm not a writer but if I was writing a novel about flying fighter jets, I'd research what it's like to be a jet pilot. These people can't even be bothered to turn on Judge Judy.
@@toddtaylor6506 I’ve watched few hours of Depp trial,plus a couple of streams with commentary of a “RUclips lawyer”,and I can confidently say,I know more about anything involving court procedures than a whole writing team,a f***ing team,of very well paid,professional writers,and I’m not even a woman.
I just find it shocking that they’re just casually introducing someone who literally can’t die into the MCU. Like he’s just there now. There’s a guy they could send to fix any situation because he literally cannot die.
Jessica Gao is the writer of this show, also two literally what shows on cartoon network and of course the infamous rick and morty episode Pickle Rick(which is generally regarded by fans of the show as being the worst episode and the killing blow for the show). These people have work because of ideological reasons.
Even my 12 year old daughter gave up watching it after ep 4. It's as if school children entered a competition to write a story and Marvel thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a TV show without any edits to the script!
My girlfriend is pretty into this show, and I keep up with it mainly to listen to you guys later. I keep having these moments where i start to enjoy the show, like scenes with just Jen, I actually like her quite a bit, then they slap me in the face with a big steaming pile of poo. I think this show actually had potential to be a semi interesting lawyer type sitcom, but everything connecting it to the mcu fucks it up. I honestly have no idea what they are aiming for
I keep saying "Disney will run out of resources at some point"... and three years later I am starting to wonder if that will happen. I really miss Iron Man (2008) and Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) and 1990s-early 2000s Disney when you had actual plots and characters. I really wonder how much longer this will go on. Harvey Birdman attorney at law was the right way to go for a superhero / lawyer show. But I guess in addition to not reading the She-Hulk comics the writers haven't seen that show either.
💯💯💯💯. Same. It’s kinda sad for both the 80s& 90s people/kids and the early to mid 2000s people/kids that all we are getting is just mediocre and forgettable content.
@@chasehedges6775 Also if you wanna see another good superhero/lawyer tv show, watch the daredevil TV series with Charlie Cox! Or even watch Better Call Saul 📞 Which is one of the best TV shows ever!!(though bit of a slow burn)
Investment Managers like BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street with their ESG scores have trillions of dollars to support this shit. Sad to say it but "get woke, go broke" don't work when these "creators" have backing of that kind of institutions.
"Hey could you come to my wedding as Jen, not She-Hulk because I'm worried you will draw attention away from me on my special day." Jen then spends the episode complaining people are not spending enough time telling her how wonderful her life is and how amazed they are by her. She then turns into She-Hulk and makes a huge scene, taking attention away from the bride. She also never talks to the bride. She mourns the fact that the wedding guests are not spending enough time on her.
A lot of MCU shows are openly misandrist, but the intense, in-your-face, BLATANT man-hating in this show is just insane.

"The writers don't care, why should we". Well said.
I think the writers played themselves. In the quest to make Jen a strong independent woman they made Jen a narcissistic career woman with unrealistic dating expectations and as a result she is lonely and insecure, which kind of ironically reenforces the old gender roles.
It's even worse than that. By making Jen so strident and assertive, they left themselves no room to contrast her with her Hulk-form. The most interesting thing about a Jekyll&Hyde type character is in the differences in personality and the conflict that creates, but they dumped all that at the outset by giving Jen complete control over her hulk form with no change in her personality whatsoever. It's basically just a supersuit she can switch on and off. It's the most boring and uncreative take they could have had on this sort of shape-shifting power.
@@AliRadicali Hell, even having the base Jen personality be significantly meeker lends itself to that sort of idea (literally, even, as the original Jekyll&Hyde was more like a chemical-induced disguise than an actual transformation).
Make the change in personality not an inherent property of the transformation but a by-product of being able to be a conventionally hot, basically indestructible green amazon and thus be the sort of person who can get away with lashing out more often. (You know, LIKE HOW IT IS IN THE DAMN COMICS), and you have a borderline perfect recipe for a story about the corruptive nature of gaining too much power too fast.
And then you can have a freaking ARC as Jen realizes how she's actively turning herself into the monster Bruce was always scared the Hulk could be and you have something INTERESTING!
@@connorcampbell-bisson8721 Personally I would play up the contrast in character, especially early on: Have Jen be incredibly shy, meek and mousey, and have her become incredibly self-confident, assertive and hyper-sexual once she gets accustomed to her hulk-form.
I wouldn't specify anything, but I'd certainly imply that She-hulk is more emotional and impulsive than Jen. As to whether her confidence is genetic or social, I think that's better left to the imagination of the audience.
With this stark contrast and a downtrodden jen at the start, you can have an arc where she initially only sees the positives in being a hulk and refuses to turn back, only to later come to realise the good traits she'd had all along as Jen: Patience, responsibility, empathy, humility and a good work ethic.
Towards the end you could have both personalities become less extreme, balancing out the other: Jen more confident, She-hulk less impulsive, Yin and Yang, that sort of thing.
@@AliRadicali
Dude, that's seriously great but the basic problem you're overlooking is that the current panel of female writers for She-Hulk: Attorney At Law all SUCK, are incompetent and cannot form a coherent story even though they all were in a room together and literally paid to do so.
She-Hulk needs a remake but due to the fact that Disney is holding the reins, even a remake would be reduced to WOKE nonsense.
I have given up on both Disney and the M-She-U with a complete and utter vote of no confidence.

What Drinker was describing I felt on episode 2 and that’s when I had to drop it.
It was the scene where she visited her family and I just felt like I was being forced to watch this and I had to get up and walk around my house. Idk. Idk if it was like a panic attack or something but I’ve Never felt that way watching a show.
No kidding, i thpught the same. i had a hard time watching ep 5 of rings of power (even skipping through 70% of the episode), i cant even imagine watching this.
I agree with the friend objecting to Jen Walters showing up at a wedding as She-Hulk.
The rule is simple; never ever never outshine the bride.
Yeah, that is pretty F'd up
They really do make a joke out of alcoholism in this show. She binge drinks, hobby drinks, and drinks herself to bed and rather than learning a lesson about it she is given free reign to drink indefinitely because her hulk form sobers her up so she can go back to drinking. It enables her and even glorifies it
She is a lawyer, to be fair

The writers of She-Hulk: We cant do courtroom drama and legal proceedings.
The audience: What is it that you think you CAN do? What, in your minds, is the 'good' part of any of this?
they've also said, that they don't know how to handle CGI in their writing or something like that. plus they're extremely unfunny, that's a fact. so pretty much we have a bunch of female writers, who don't know how to write courtroom drama and legal proceedings, or how to implement/handle CGI or how to be funny, but were specifically hired to write a comedy show about "she-hulk", a CGI-character and attorney at law. i mean, wtf, you literally can't make that shit up. it's absolutely mind boggling, how something like this can happen at a company, which is worth almost 200 billion dollar. disney definitely deserves to go bunkrupt, f*ck that shithole of a company. 😂

Well they obviously can't do action. Neither can they do a gripping storyline.

13:55 Disparu hits on the major issue I've had with the direction society at large is going here. I saw it all the time in school. "You don't need to change", "you're unique", "people need to appreciate our different qualities", "you're perfect just the way you are", etc. Just a bunch of messages that never teach people how to cope, how to adapt, how to change themselves for the better, just the total enabling of selfishness, entitlement and the idea that the world needs to change to cater to your needs. No! That's not how real life works. That's not ever how it should work. You aren't owed anything, you need to work hard just like everyone else does. Once upon a time, you couldn't survive with a mindset like that, but so much ground has been lost to this attitude that now we're dealing with a generation of people that genuinely think this is the right way to be.
Absolutely and utterly spot on. I just can't believe how this is a widely accepted stance now, that you don't need to change and improve yourself but instead accept yourself being a zero. It's toxic, degrading and ultimately dangerous. It encourages bad behaviour, selfishness and entitlement.
What you say is very true, but you may overlook that what you describe is the male life ethos / societal framework. 95% of women expect men to display that "toughness / adaptabilt" but latest after age 25 - College education + 3 years most women and too many post-millenial men subscribe to "aristocratic loftiness" with each year more raising their expectation of entitlement. Life on a silber platter is what they want.
@@privatesmith1560 This attitude is without gender, you will find it in every walk of life, among every type of person. It's just how people have been brought up to be recently and it's completely unsustainable. Learning to deal with the harshness of reality and work to find the good parts is just part of a life. That's always been the way, since our days as apes. Modern society has only enabled the worst aspects of people, by providing them with far too much comfort. Why? Because it makes them stupid and easier to direct. That's why Hollywood and other industries like gaming have been taking advantage of it. We've bred a generation of stupid, spoiled brats. No man or woman or elephant with pink polka dots about it.
The thing is: if you think the world need to be changed, do it yourself (or find people to do it together with you) and don't expect others to change for you.
@@shauhame6364 But you see, if they have to take the reins, 1) that requires effort, which they obviously don't want to contribute and 2) that means taking personal responsibility for the things you do, which they're entire averse to. Accountability and work are not two things people with this mindset appreciate, which is why they force others to make the changes for them.
When Disparu says he's hoping for "some kind of plot" the first thought through my head was, "You're expecting WAY too much from modern writers to have that much foresight." followed by Drinker's wildly optimistic line. I laughed.

It was meant to mock men but I just thought "I'd do the same if I were you, buddy"
Safe to say that those five year olds don't have a lot of world experience to do the job right.
That was the first thing in this series I could relate to. A few years ago a guy was going round a shopping centre, I believe in China, and after hours of meaningless meandering she told him she just wanted to go back to the first shop they went in... He jumped from the 6th floor balcony. Totally understand that.

Then again, it's on the Internet, not the airwaves.
Mr. Immortal is a guy who in the comics lost his parents then got abused by his foster family, fell in love with another person in his foster family who was getting abused too, they started a life together and she killed herself due to PTSD from the abuse after what he ended up in a deep state of depression and tried to kill himself over and over but couldn't because he's immortal before trying to help others with his superpower despite it not being very useful in a fight.
So She-hulk took that guy and turned him into a strawman of husbands who leave their wife without a word. The more time passes the more I think the MCU purposefully disregard characters who suffer from mental illness, it's the second time in a show where I've been appalled by their utter disregard of the subject.
Historically, humans haven’t had much sympathy for those who suffer from mental illnesses. Most people, I feel, only see how someone’s problems affect them, not the person who’s suffering.
I mostly remember him through Wade Wilson abusing him in the Joe Kelly and Daniel Way runs of Deadpool.

I actually think episode 6 is a perfect example of how scared the writers are of giving Jen/She-Hulk any form of resistance or consequence.
You have Jen showing up like She-Hulk, so her friend is pissed. Understandable, she's stealing attention. Then Titania shows up and starts a fight, but gets bodied the second Jen turns into She-Hulk. Didn't even break a sweat. In fact, Titania bodies herself, so it's not even a win for Jen. Then the friend, who should be pissed that she turned again, is just a fan. So not a single consequence in the entire episode.

Such a missed opportunity. I honestly think that diversity Disney COULD have lulled it off
Who knew she was NOT Galadriel's sister?
Even if they had to take this in a feminist direction, because of course they had to, it's 2022, they still could have told an intelligent story that challenges the main character's values and world-view. They had the perfect setup for a show that explores the conflict/contradictions within feminism around using sex appeal to get ahead. On the one hand you have shy, mousey Jen, who could be somewhat jealous and resentful of confident, beautiful women who use their looks to get ahead. Well, what would she do if she suddenly has access to that same confidence and beauty, would she stick to her principles? Would she bend the rules for herself? Would she find out that perhaps it's not as simple and black-and-white as she first thought?
Even within the narrow confines of feminist ideology there still could have been room to tell an interesting story that challenges the hero and the audience. Instead Jen has to be such a girlboss that there's basically no contrast between her human and hulk forms, the latter is just big, green and made of horrible CGI.
The whole point of a Jekyll/Hyde type character is to explore the differences and similarities between the two. She-hulk might as well be a costume to Jen. What a waste.
Because the writers self inserts themselves into She-Hulk.
That explains all the bad writing and bad handling of the characters in the show that only complains about society, relationships, etc. rather than doing any real hero work like a Superhero would do.
@@AliRadicali Screw all of that: Make it actually funny! Lean into the nonsense!
Make She-Hulk a wacky courtroom show about Marvel powers affecting society and civilians. I want to see the trial between London vs Stark-Industries after Far From Home. Or how maybe even a touching trial of the Vulture explaining why he did what he did in front of his wife and daughter.
Then you can contrast that with wacky interactions, by completely leaning into the amazon-snu-snu stuff. Have She-Hulk go on Tinder, pick up some dude like a puppet and have the guy run out because his ego's hurt. There you have some soft commentary, but without going borderline predatorial on in.

"The writers have never gone on an arc themselves." BINGO! One of the first things they tell you in creative writing courses is "write what you know". So with She-Hulk what you are seeing is a snapshot of what these writers know.
Exactly, we’re in a time of great entitlement, selfishness, attention addiction, and superficial judgement.

In my opinion there's two issues with most female protagonists recently. One is the "Mary Sue" they do everything right with almost or no flaws. Everything revolves around them but barely has to work for it. Example-Rey Skywalker. Oh god saying Skywalker makes me pissed. Ray nobody. Ray Palapatine whatever. The other issue is a certain kind of woman writing themselves and SJWness and their sad lives.

Your gonna need more than just a simple bottle of duck bleach for that; Your gonna need pure fluoroantimonic acid to even begin touching this literal war crime.

The writing on this show must have been perpetrated by the most fragile, emotionally enfeebled people imaginable.
You are describing modern women
You're not wrong. The writing seems like sixth-grade fan fiction, only more self-aggrandising. It's incredibly juvenile; very much a case of "everythig you can do, I can do better!! And boys are ICKY!!" from little girls wearing woman suits.
Victimizing themselves for their poor life choices

"Oh he just wanted me for she-hulk, AFTER I USED SHE-HULK TO ATTRACT HIM!"
I feel like Jen showing up as she-hulk to a wedding is almost the same as showing up in a wedding dress
When you guys are describing She-Hulk's conflict with wanting praise for her talents instead of looks I think you are describing many women. I think a lot of them expect to get the same sort of reaction to their accomplishments as they do their beauty, but they just don't fundamentally understand that that's not how it works. Even hyper successful people don't get the same amount of praise and attention that a women can get from her beauty. When you are grinding away publishing papers or building a business or something no one is there raining compliments on you. The reward for hard work is more work. I don't know how to explain this more. It's just not the same and you shouldn't expect the same sort of response from others.
Well said. Also anyone regardless of gender can work, working is not hard in fact humans have spent all their history coming up with inventions so we don’t have to work anymore lmao. Then modern women came along and act as if working is some sort of achievement. Men like women for their looks and femininity not because they can write an article or drive a truck lol.
This might be one of the most precise explanations I've ever seen. Bravo, sir.
Yes, work is not something people appreciate, but is expected from you.
(Some) women don't get that they are born with inherent value while men have to earn it.
Industrialization made women enter the workforce, and since them they have been the unhappiest ever.
You would think it's good to let women work if they want and are able to, but society fills them with the idea to "need no man, be strong and independen'!" so they get frustrated when work doesn't make them happier.
There was this one female lawyer and winner of a beauty contest or something.
Thew herself from the rooftop. She had everything these women would want, and still felt incomplete.
Very well said. You nailed it. This is precisely what these feminist shows do not get at all. They think that guys get compliments for their careers and everyone rains compliments on them just for being "successful" when that almost never happens. Maybe when you graduate college or a med school of law school all your family will compliment you for like a few days, then for the next twenty years no one does, you just work. That kind of thing (House, you are the most brilliant doctor ever!) only happens on TV and they fundamentally do not get it.

I was thinking the same thing while my daughter was watching Bluey, it's written better than anything in Phase 4.
@@BetaRayBill32 Bluey is a cute and great show. I turn it on for my siblings and they love it.
It’s so simple and easy to follow
This is because Disney writers only know how to write kids TV shows,
But while Muppet Babies was originally written by Jim Henson writers and was brilliant, the newer reboot of Muppet Babies was a big pile of poodoo.
This is the same problem as with Star Wars, Marvel and all other Fox stuff, Disney doesn't know how to write any of it and they have all been disneyfied in the worst possible way.
I was looking forward to SheHulk and in a very small way I still kinda like it but it's ruined everytime by the inevitable cringy 'man-hatIng' BS.
This show had the potential to be very good and if they cut out all the 'men bad' crap it would be so much better, but as I said, Disney/SJW writers cannot write Marvel for s*** and are ruining everything.
@@BetaRayBill32 Bluey is awesome, can't believe it's Disney
This is why Spider-Man is my favourite superhero, he constantly has the shift beaten out of him physically, mentally and emotionally but he never gives up. That is a superhero. A superhero needs to be challenged by something that can actually overcome them, and the story is the hero overcoming that challenge, or even failing to and compromising. A hero that is never challenged or ever going to be challenged will never truly be a superhero.
I agree. Mr Immortal himself had the perfect opportunity for this. He's a character that goes through hell almost everyday with his backstory, but has to deal with it. Although being unable to die sounds cool, the comics show that he still suffers unbearable levels of pain from the injuries he gets by "dying" (and it's even worse when he comes back to life). He also clearly doesn't have any powers or skills to be a superhero (apart from coming back to life every time he dies), but he still does his best to be a superhero. Instead, it seemed like the writers just read his wiki bio and said "that's a cool power, might make people laugh", without actually understanding anything from the comics.
Big Bertha also has a similarly emotional story about a supermodel with one of the worst mutant powers ever (to gain super strength by overeating, which comes with increasing her body mass). Despite being laughed at as Big Bertha, she still would rather help people as an oversized superhero than make millions becoming an International supermodel as her alter ego Ashley Crawford. Current Marvel writers would find a way to ruin this character if they ever think of bringing her into the MCU. There was a time I would have loved to see the Great Lakes Avengers join the MCU (preferably as an R-Rated, James Gunn directed series, similar to Peacemaker), but seeing how Marvel handled Mr. Immortal, I'd rather not think of how the GLA would turn out.
If you didn't notice, the Great Lakes Avengers and Mr. Immortal are amongst my favourite Marvel characters. Definitely not my favourite, but top 10 atleast.
The reaction of everyone on the panel when the realization hits that it's 9 episodes is just gold. Then it turns to sadness cause now it hits me that this show is 9 episodes in total. This video says more in 22 mins than what She-Hulk has.
I am just frustrated that we are 2/3 done and nothing is happening.
@@luhedi6303 why are you losers watching this
You nailed it on the head when you said that nothing really happens. 6 episodes in and we: 1. Don't have a real good background on the Jen Walters character, 2. Don't have an established foe, 3. Don't have several extended scenes where She-Hulk does stuff. Meanwhile, we're getting sub-plots with other characters, unrelated cases, and introduced to pointless characters who won't be there for the next episode.

It'd be the one true-to-life aspect of the show if it had ANY CONSEQUENCES for Jen, but of course it doesn't, because she is a girlboss.
Like, you could have had at least a few of the conflicts in this show be caused by her obvious alcoholism: Maybe she was driving drunk when she totaled her car with Banner in it. Maybe she loses her job at the DA's office due to her latest DUI or whatever rather than *saving the lives of a jury*.
Even the one flaw the writers left her character (of the ones the writers are aware of that is) isn't treated as such, the writers just think it makes her quirky and endearing.
Wine mum representation amirite
I think the problem with She-Hulk is that there isn't a narrative taking place. No story. No end goal. Jen isn't driving the plot forward. Instead, events are happening in the world, and She-Hulk happens to be nearby. She's not making any decisions that have any effect on anyone or anything. This show feels like a bunch of individual scenes being filmed, rather than a story being told. There's been no character arc, story arc, or any development of anything. Just a self-congratulatory jumble of barely connected scenes.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Are they actually scenes, or are they just scripted moments?

"Sam get to the building"
Drinker you nailed it with one of your earliest comments: it’s wish fulfillment for the writers. Nothing more.
💯
It says so much about the writers though that their wish is a slightly bigger office and undeserved respect for a power they did nothing to earn.
I love how you guys simply analyzing the show.
Craft a perfect outline of the personality behind it and their troubled mind.
The woman by default wanting the things / society has programmed them to not want.
And it making them deeply unhappy to conform. But doing absolutely nothing to change. Showcasing the learned helplessness people have.
Edit: SheHulk is like those types of art. Where if you splash paint on it and then use it like a stamp you get a perfect impression of a woman drowning while trapped in an ocean of reality. While another version of themselves is helping pull them down deeper into the water.
I love the point that Drinker makes about how it would be so much better if the show had Jennifer/She-Hulk becoming intoxicated with her newfound celebrity status, and disregarding the feelings of those around her. The Shazam movie did this perfectly, and it showed how Billy became something of an asshole when he gained superpowers
Watching this show is essentially the equivalant of that one scene in "A Clockwork Orange" when Alex is being subjected to those disturbing pictures with his eyes peeled back. In fact, with the way he was screaming, I'm inclined to think that he did have to bear witness to the future of television and Cinema. The poor kid.
Good analogy
no, he was screaming cuz they were actually doing that to him.
Best description ever, “just a bunch of cat ladies having a group session in a tv show!” LMFAO! Yup. That’s it.

@@MyEvilTaco I want Edward Norton back as hulk he was awesome
I think Tatiana Maslany deserves some (sincere) recognition for doing a great job of portraying such an awful, insufferable character. She can't fix the lines, or the underlying vileness of Jen, but credit where it's due, she throws every pleading look and eyelash-bat possible into trying to evoke _some_ sort of - utterly undeserved - sympathy for her. It might even work on viewers who are as vapid and superficial as the writers.
She was great in Orphan Black.
That's because she, like Brie Larson is a fully fledged feminist.
stop giving recognition to pathetic people
I have absolutely no sympathy for people like her. They allow themselves to get blinded by the fact that projects like this are big opportunities that can further their careers and never stop to consider that they are stepping into crap that will more than likely blow up in their faces.
She's part of it wearing her woke t shirts to interviews.

I clocked out after episode 2. I wanted to give it a chance, but i found i couldn't get through one episode without pausing every five minutes and do something else for a couple of minutes. You guys deserve a medal for soldiering on and suffer on our behalf. Disney really needs to stop and think for a moment about what they are doing with all their movies and shows, because i am weary of every single thing they announce will come out and that makes me not want to watch it and i'm sure i'm not the only one. Why don't they realise that they are just meant to entertain us and not lecture us?
There needs to be a counter-series made that takes each episode of She-Hulk: Failure at Large and shows it from a man's point of view. Hell, just a more realistic point of view.
Shot scene for scene from the original, but with inner monologues from male bystanders and secondary characters pointing out the sheer stupidity of every situation in the show.
Or even bystanders casually pointing out how unrealistic or utterly stupid everyone (especially Jen) is behaving. And maybe a 2 minute wrap at the end (confession style) from a guy who
somehow 'survived' the cluster-f*ck of the episode that just happened.
I'd watch that show.

@1:29 "I'm bored of knowing exactly what you think should and should not be happening in the world."
Wow, this one really hit home. That's _exactly_ the problem with woke writing. It's not story-driven, it's grievance-driven.
As it’s designed to be. Critical theory is all about tearing down existing cultural institutions so the Marxist revolution can proceed
Even grievance-driven fiction could be good if the writer knew what they were doing with it. Most woke shows just can't figure out if they want to be a dystopia or a utopia, so they try to do both at the same time.
Take Game of thrones for example: The books and the earlier seasons are clearly dystopic, and by showing us how awful a non-progressive world is, the message is that we ought to be a bit more democratic and feminist than this medieval patriarchal hellhole.
Then as the hack writers were running out of story to adapt, what did they do? They started including this bizarre and out-of-place girlboss theme where all of the major factions are suddenly ruled by women who get along and make 4th-wall-breaking commentary about how society would be better off with female rulers. Not only doesn't make no sense in the setting, but looking at it from a big picture perspective, having a bunch of assertive girlbosses running the dystopian patriarchy undermines the entire point the setting was supposed to be making.
Drinker, thank you for jumping on this grenade of a show so the rest of us do not have to. If nothing else it is an excellent reason for whiskey to exist.

When I read "...is sheer abuse", I fell over laughing. They can't create anything that isn't shit 😂
Its being constantly said this show isn't for those that are hating it and yet it will be used as the one and only excuse as to why it failed. Gotta give credit to Disney for actively pursuing an example of irony that people can actually watch and not read.
I detest that "it's not for you" line so much. Fiction's greatest strength is its ability to allow someone to experience the story through another person's point of view, even though they might have completely different biological traits or life circumstances. The best fiction has universal appeal, even if it has a clear target audience, because our shared humanity allows us to see ourselves in the characters.
"It's not for you" is a copout for bad writing, and especially when the [faceless entertainment company] cynically decides to race- or gender-swap some beloved character to gin up controversy.
I think it's hilarious that the show can't go more than a couple episode without trying to mock its critics IN THE EPISODE. It shows that it actually WAS written for the critics and the critics are living rent free in the writers' heads. The writers just can't leave it alone and let the work stand on its own... they have to make their catty retorts.

💯💯💯💯. Sooo true
Yes and no. It's constantly shouting the message at the audience in very obvious on-the-nose dialogue, but it does a TERRIBLE job at showing any sort of message through the plot elements of the story. The reason this show feels so alien and like nothing is happening is because it's not a real narrative where actions lead to consequences. It feels like an AI-generated story where things just happen one after the other until the story ends.
Despite how much they want the audience to think Jen is smart, competent and confident they manage to show the exact opposite.

No, no! That's not what they're saying at all. Remember the Jen still has Captain America's ass on her phone and keeps trying to get dates. What you were supposed to learn was to DO BETTER.

"The writers don't care, why should we?" Sums it up nicely.
My teenage daughter was slightly interested in this show, and I kept my opinions to myself, not to spoil it for her. She never actually realised that the show was supposed to be a comedy, and within a few minutes of Episode 5 (Jen buys a suit), she was rolling her eyes. by the end of the episode, she'd had enough of the show altogether. So what is the demographic they are aiming at?
For five episodes they were explaining how Hulks cant get drunk and on the sixth Jen got drunk? Leaving every other problem of the show aside, what the actual F? How is it possible the writers cant follow even this through the full 9 episodes?
Have to be in hulk form to not get drunk.
I bet jen cant get drunk as a "HULK", in human form I think she can
It is only in her She-Hulk form that she cannot get drunk. It has be explained and shown before in the show.
Omg this was explained in the very first episode that as a Hulk they can drink a ton more alcahol than in their human form
In the next episode the literally drinks tons as SheHulk and her boss asks her to turn back to Jen and she's instantly drunk.
So, in this episode, her getting Drunk as Jen and then as soon as she changes to SheHulk she's no longer drunk is still the same exact thing.

More on the point of portraying marriage - did we ever see the groom? Do we know his name? Show kept ignoring him so much, I was genuinely sure the nice guy whatshisname is gonna turn out to be him. I mean, this would make a decent joke - suddenly episode makes kinda sense, there's even some self-realisation / character development in there somewhere. But no, it goes nowhere!
I was wondering this too. The whole plot kinda made no sense. She invited Jen after a long time apart, as though she only wanted here there for She-hulk. Then tells here she doesn’t want her to be She-hulk. Then her and the bridesmaids take enjoyment in bullying her. Then she’s all happy when She-hulk shows up and almost wrecks her wedding. I was progressively more confused and assumed there would be some kind of conclusion or payoff to the situation, but nothing.
Best arc was watching Angryjoe going from hopeful to having whatever hope he had crushed by the sheer stupidity of the show.

This show only shows how being talented doesn't necessarily mean you'll get to what you deserve. Sometimes it's those who just so happens to fit the quota.
That lead actress is a sheer revelation in that someone so devoid of likability, charisma, or talent of any kind was picked to lead this show. She awful on every level, the kind of person no one would ever want to spend more than two minutes with. It's really amazing someone watched her audition, went through the process and signed off on her.
She's actually good in Orphan Black. I blame the writers.
"this show is practically a war crime" 😂😂😂😂
What Drinker is talking about is called "zoning out". The mechanism is kind of similar to emotional shock, where the mind gets slammed with inputs so fucking hard, it goes in to automated mode to artificially distance itself from the environment. Take "a step back", process the signals and reconnect back to reality.
Frequent "zoning out" is sometimes the only weapon for victims of long-term abuse.
If you managed to make someone without prior trauma zone out,then you might be pretty good at being very bad human being. ;)
I think what’s interesting is that the people on the show “Love, Death and Robots” consistently manages to create short films (that’s between like 10 to 18 minutes long) that are consistently a lot more engaging, better written, enjoyable and overall just better than the entirety of the Post-Endgame MCU.
I mean hell just look at the season 1 episode “The Secret War.” It’s just over 16 minutes long and in that time it manages to introduce the various characters, explain the setting and make us genuinely care about what’s going on and the characters and deliver some of the best action scenes I have seen in a *long* time!
Meanwhile, the only thing the current MCU has consistently managed to do is to bore me to tears whenever I have decided to give their shows a try.
Love death and robots is a fucking masterpiece. In jibaro you have the entire story of the Spanish colonialism in America without uttering a single word. Lucky 13 made you care about the relationship of a pilot with her aircraft fot fuck's sake
In a perfect world, Love, Death and Robots would be the most popular streaming show of all time. So many amazing ideas, characters, writing and visuals. Each new short is so exciting because it could look like anything, take place anywhere at any time. It pushes the boundaries of imagination on TV.
Bad Travelling was such a good episode. My favorite one.
I only hope it doesn't become black mirror which started amazing and became boring
Tony Stark, when asked by the Captain what he was without his suit, said: "a billionaire genius playboy philanthropist." Jen without She Hulk is a drunken, miserable attorney, I guess.

When the writers said that they don't know how to write court scenes what they meant was they don't know how to write a scene.
They also meant they had no inclination to even try to learn how either. I mean, I'm not a writer but if I was writing a novel about flying fighter jets, I'd research what it's like to be a jet pilot. These people can't even be bothered to turn on Judge Judy.

I really miss Iron Man (2008) and Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) and 1990s-early 2000s Disney when you had actual plots and characters. I really wonder how much longer this will go on.
Harvey Birdman attorney at law was the right way to go for a superhero / lawyer show. But I guess in addition to not reading the She-Hulk comics the writers haven't seen that show either.
💯💯💯💯. Same. It’s kinda sad for both the 80s& 90s people/kids and the early to mid 2000s people/kids that all we are getting is just mediocre and forgettable content.
I really miss Iron Man(2008).
Me too, buddy.

Also if you wanna see another good superhero/lawyer tv show, watch the daredevil TV series with Charlie Cox!
Or even watch Better Call Saul 📞
Which is one of the best TV shows ever!!(though bit of a slow burn)
Investment Managers like BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street with their ESG scores have trillions of dollars to support this shit. Sad to say it but "get woke, go broke" don't work when these "creators" have backing of that kind of institutions.
The irony of a lawyer not caring about consequence. Like let's endanger people and ruin a wedding.
"Hey could you come to my wedding as Jen, not She-Hulk because I'm worried you will draw attention away from me on my special day."
Jen then spends the episode complaining people are not spending enough time telling her how wonderful her life is and how amazed they are by her. She then turns into She-Hulk and makes a huge scene, taking attention away from the bride. She also never talks to the bride. She mourns the fact that the wedding guests are not spending enough time on her.
