You guys are misunderstanding my point. I get that "she didn't like the ending" and that "it was too predictable" The first "ending" is very clearly messy and insane on purpose. I'm simply saying she didn't just change the ending, she skipped it. It's like they went SO meta with it that the story itself falls apart. The meta IS the ending of the show, but we skipped any real story ending for Jen's character in universe not because she "didn't like it" but because they didn't do anything with the changes she made, it just... ends. I just think it just comes across very different than I think they intended. I'll admit it was a bold move, just don't think it will land with most folks. Overall I thought the show was ok. not great, not terrible, just ok. I think with better writing and comedy this could have knocked it out of the park. That's really the biggest issue it had, which is unfortunate since its meant to be a comedy.
Bingo! They literally didn’t know what to do with this show. You had a great idea with making a sitcom mcu show with an actual plot and this whole time nothing mattered. They were more focused on sending this men bashing message than making a cohesive show. What a mess!
Man this episode, and the whole show, seems to have gone over y’all’s head. You clearly don’t understand that the show is making fun of Marvel itself. That was the whole point with her talking to Kevin. People are so naive and ignorant to think Marvel fucking Studios can’t learn from their own mistakes. The MCU learned a lot from just the first phase. The Disney+ MCU shows are in a phase of their own so they’re not gonna start out perfect. Which is the whole point of SheHulk talking to Kevin about the plot making no sense. It’s just ignorant to think professional writers are just gonna say “screw it” and do whatever they want. Especially with Feige at the helm.
@@jonacasu5616 this. Funny show in my opinion! They realized all last episodes sucked and were mocking it. I can’t believe y’all found a way to hate that too 😂
It's a sitcom that's not funny. It's a legal show that doesn't understand the law. It's a slice of life show that doesn't ever have her do her laundry and struggle getting demon goo out of her clothing (literally, I was waiting for a scene where she struggles to do her laundry, but no). Everything they said the show was it wasn't. That's the failure. And She-Hulk Actress was epically brilliant. I honestly do very much dislike the writers for wasting so much talent on dead end narratives and unfunny sequences. The actors and actresses weren't phoning it in. They weren't just settling in that this is a bad show and no one cares. They brought their a game, and the writers... the writers of this show let them down on every level.
Amazing review. It's basically watching two guys desperately trying to call it a bag of crap but being terrified of being cancelled and called misogynists if they do. Amazing.
Man, I'd hate to know what the script for Blade looks like knowing Disney went forward with the script for this show. She Hulk makes Hawkeye look like The Sopranos.
@@pr0fess0rbadass lmao. This made me laugh. I know this is hugely up for debate but I personally loved it. Especially her asking about xmen then winking to the fans. This scene redeemed itself from the twerking BS lol
To be fair, She-Hulk tore pages in her comic book and famously walked through ad pages as a shortcut. That's what they were aiming for with the Disney+ homescreen.
The whole point of the show is that Jen has constantly been stripped away of any control of her life throughout the series, with Bruce, her job, Intelligencia, and she took it upon herself to change the narrative, write her own ending and take control by breaking the 4th wall in the deepest way I've ever seen, people seem to have taken this show way too seriously, it did exactly what it set out to do in the first place, and that's something that many MCU projects get criticized for not doing, ie. sticking to the MCU formula. This is hard rock evidence that MCU writers do actually listen to the fans.
And most people reacting to it negatively don't realize that in a way, they're being portrayed in the show as well, because again... Marvel knows it's fans and listens 😂
I gave it a shot. Had some decent parts throughout. Overall fell short for me. I'd call it slightly below average. I just get the feeling it probably wasn't made for me, and that's ok. I'm happy for you if you enjoyed it.
Writers weren't on different pages. They were on the page of wanting to make people who wanted to like this show, angry, just so they could say they're clever. According to a Variety article. This show sucks.
I agree with Rob, he hit the nail on the head, especially about the writing. Go look up the resumes of the writers room for this show. None of them have any experience writing the type of comedy She-Hulk was supposed to be. Also, one of the writers I believe came out & said the show was originally supposed to have more legal stuff in in, but none of the writers have legal writing experience. You have to hire the right talent with the right experience. The head staff writer, Dana Schwartz, while talented, was a correspondent for Entertainment Weekly, & also wrote a couple YA novels, but her only movie & TV writing credit was a serious documentary. I don't see anyone in their writer's room that you would hire to write a legal comedy.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the writers, directors AND producers of this show could've simply done updated adaptations of "The Sensational She-Hulk" series and it would've be better.
Don't know where to start!!! Seriously ...something went wrong big...this time with this She-hulk series!!! Episode 1 was Decent. Rest all didn't make any sense or add anything to the character. its a waisted opportunity. most of time breaking 4th wall didn't work, the humor was flat. Daredevil was the only good thing happened to this show. And OMG...how they introduced Hulk's Son!!! Seriously!!! Now onwards.... Marvel needs a 'Quality assurance' team to check on Every Disney+ series in future!!
These writers honestly shouldn't be hired back for future Marvel projects. There was barely a story thread here and then when they were going to give that story thread purpose they just said eh we'll just break the fourth wall to skip all that and just end the show. This show really isn't good. Genuinely not good.
What I would have liked for the fourth wall break was her having a trial against the intelligencia and having a meta discussion about the criticisms people have against marvel. Then it would maybe be have them actually think fairly about both sides rather than taking one. Also show us her going through some self reflection.
The "projected" story of the show wrapped when Todd went to jail. The ACTUAL story of the show was about Jen going from a character who was practically sh!t on, from every angle of the show's writing, to having more power than basically any character in the MCU in that she got to have everything she wanted by going to the source and talking to "KEVIN." The actual story was meta, and kinda went a long way into telling the audience / fans to "freaking RELAX. Have fun. Don't take this stuff so seriously." It made Jen earn her ability to call shots by having everything in the show working against her (even her friends upstaging her). I thought it was just awesome.
Let's flashback to a couple of weeks ago when Robert was saying "I wanted to see She-Hulk break the 4th wall just like how she would tear through panels in John Byrne's run", and then when he got what he wanted, he goes, "This isn't what I envision breaking the 4th wall means.". Riiiight. And sure, part of the plot was about getting She-Hulk's blood to gain power, but that's just a mean to an end. The underlying motivation was still just about how there are people in this world who thinks that power should go to a man, not a woman. It doesn't matter what defines that power, whether it be physical or social or otherwise. What the ending of this series was trying to say was that Todd didn't do what he did because of his desire for power. He did it to prove a point, and his point is a reflection of what our current society is like.
I don’t think it felt flat at all. I think it raised expectations for the MCU, and showed the audience that they’re listening and kind of poking fun at itself through shehulks breaking of the fourth wall.
They had 9 episodes, and EVERY one was garbage. No wonder they've put their film slate back. Phase 4 has been atrocious. Also the twerking scene was one of the worst parts. How he thinks that's funny I'll never know. It seems he's very easily pleased, because the show hasn't been funny once.
@Dev Ames How exactly was this show funny? It's either funny or it isn't, this is the latter. If you find garbage like this funny, then you don't understand how true comedy works I'm afraid.
Did they ever explain the spaceship at the start that caused the crash and created she-hulk? was the spaceship looking for hulk to take him somewhere? (because later we see hulk in a spaceship) So is she-hulk's origin story that Hulk's Galactic Uber accidently caused a crash and created She-Hulk?
I agree about some of the critiques. I just think it's funny that in the commentary about how to fix the show Rob got his wish and it still did work for him.
She Hulk was straight trash!!...I struggled just to finish it. Old Kevin Fiege needs to return and bring great content like before...this 4th phase has been falling time and time again smh....I HOPE Black Panther Wakanda Forever turns this around
I think Marvel lost their way after Endgame , I love Marvel don't get me wrong , but since Endgame a few things were real good other are just meh. I hope that they don't screw up Black Panther.
My last rant... I saw the writer's interview... laughy girl. I thought that she portrayed some disdain for "this comicbook movie saga thing"... she was barely coherent and couldn't say a sentence that didn't include "you know?". I saw some executive trashing on the MCU fan and their "high expectations "... we're the problem. The people that buy the tickets and pay for the subscription. What successful business actively tries to dispell the myth that their customers should have high expectations of the quality of their product (shouldn't you be happy that you've earned this and have the profits to prove it?). Who approved these decisions and this script? Who invited these people of low standards into Marvel Entertainment? Why do I suspect that Netflix will prove to be more adept at interpreting Marvel characters after seeing the new Daredevil? (Iron Fist notwithstanding)... Disney needs to pay attention and Feige needs to return to being the Feige we know and revere... Mahurshula Ali shouldnt be the one to have to stand up and identify a trash plan pre-production.
The finale was easily the most entertaining episode of the show just for sheer audacity, the daredevil episode was solid, but overall the show has just been really uneven. The character has been fine but the plot really meandered. It’s a bit of a shame, but the stuff from the comic that was always doing silly stuff because they were certain they were about to get canceled just doesn’t translate to being a Disney+ show in the biggest franchise in existence.
So after watching the finale, this is what I’ve gather: Kevin Feige is aware of the criticism of the common complaints of the MCU being the same and the concerns with phase 4? So he used this show to troll both the trolls and the fans (Jen asking about the X-Men)? He basically said (in Stephen A. voice), “we don’t care” 🤪 This show felt like a fever dream, what was the point of it. The finale is so different from what was established in the first episode. What was the moral of the show? Titania was pointless, in fact there’s not really a villain. No I refuse to believe that soulless robot with the little cap is Feige. Why couldn’t he just physically make a cameo? Does he worry about his acting ability? I won’t judge 🤷🏽♀️ I always thought it was cool when CEOs or presidents make cameos in their own projects.
The premier, Daredevil’s episode and the finale are the best episodes. The season itself was unevenly paced which made watching the show frustrating. Some episodes having pointless and uninteresting B plot’s was a weak point as well. Episode runtimes we’re also short. Daredevil was integrated well and Tatiana was great in her role. Going beyond breaking the 4th wall by going full meta was odd at first but I ended up appreciating it.
Netflix did MCU series justice. Punisher, Daredevil were pure gold and now Disney has virtually butchered daredevil. This show was ridiculous. even Iron Fist has been better than the latest MCU series and that's saying a lot.
What was the point of the Titania story line, what was the point of the blood story line? She just shows back up and everything is resolved. How far back was retconned? Her power dampeners are magically gone. Did they also undo him getting her blood? Did the blood just disappear too? Titania just shows up?! Why? I started off loving the episode after that amazing cliff hanger last episode and then half way through… this?! Just so frustrating. We didn’t see her actually be a lawyer or superhero. She did nothing! Ugh I’m so mad! 4th wall is great but it just dragged on too long. Why didn’t they just do a rewind of some sort and then tell the story again. Matt showing back up was clunky too. I think I’m just going to stick to the Avenger movies from now on.
The big 4th wall break was EXACTLY like the comics. The thing I remember the most is her breaking out of the panel and skipping to the end of the story. So much that one character skinned his knee on a staple. I can see how the plot driven fan would be frustrated. It's the same with WandaVision. People are so invested in grandiose plots that they can't appreciate smaller stories.
John's sentiments are exactly what the show was criticizing (and spawn all the lovely HulkKing-like comments). Who was the villain? Apparently we missed the entire scene where Jen explained that this show wasn't about the standard superhero formula of "Hero vs Badddie". It was about Jen coming to terms with her dual identity. Hero blood, HulkKing, all that was YAWN. K.E.V.I.N. was the smartest thing they've done in a minute.
I didn't need the formula but I think I would've liked the show if it focused on Jen/She Hulk in the courtroom. Also, I wish Jen had more of a dual identity. Jen and SH were too similar. I know it's not a separate personality but she should at least be more confident and bold in her SH form. SH was accepting just as much disrespect as Jen.
Exactly they and the other haters don’t get that they’ve been getting trolled by this show the whole time, the show knew exactly the hate that was coming it’s way and is written in such a manner pissing off these fragile marvel fan boys😆
@@Elwood5791 Yeah, they knew the show was bad, self aware doesnt mean its good or genius. Maybe watch something that actually has good characters and storylines
Yeah, I loved this ending. I thought it was funny, I loved the fourth wall break, found the Jen-size stakes really refreshing and fun. I seriously don’t get the hate. 🤷🏻♀️ Ya whine about formulaic and the trash them when they try something different. I loved phase 1-3 of the MCU… but I’m also still loving what they’re doing now. 🤷🏻♀️
The main story was her initial conversation with Bruce. The conflict was her accepting both Jennifer and she hulk. The powers weren't the villian. That's what she was saying to Kevin. She went through the 5 stages of grief per episode.
Really, she didn't accept? What about the end. She accepted that she could be both. Instead of denying she hulk she's both a lawyer and super hero. Which is what Bruce was talking about in the first episode. Those were her stakes. Like she said.
@@hankhooper1637 Sure, and deviation in plot, character development and pacing is fine, as per ROP. But this fourth wall stuff, that is literally how the character rolls. It's supposed to be a bit on the nose. The show was certainly flawed but I think some people just don't know what to do with it and so are criticizing. Obviously not for them and that's fine but doesn't mean it's done wrong. The irony of the fans hating on it for the same stuff that the show is deliberately being over the top about...Literally ranting about the Marvel formula, the weak storylines everyone was complaining about the previous week but now are upset that they were abandoned...
@@hankhooper1637 Well, that is where it falls apart. I took it like the old Loony Toons where the character would argue with the artist and things would get erased or changed. Like, Kevin changed things to suit her so she would go away. Which I guess does make her a Karen. Now that *does* make for a poor storyline in this case, but I guess they chose to go for the tongue in cheek approach rather than realism.
Loved the beginning few episodes. Kinda got disappointed in the middle, because I just felt like it wasn't going anywhere cohesive, though there were some great points. I really enjoyed episode 8...and I absolutely LOVED this finale. It's one of my favorite of the MCU TV show finales so far. Just great.
Out of the 9 episodes, only 4 were good imo. The premiere episode, n the last 3. I’m just glad we can put this show in the rear view, n put all our focus on Wakanda Forever. 💯👏🏼
''l feel this show was inspired by all the buIIying, harasment and deth threats BrieLarson has dealt with in the last couple of years, just to be Captain Marvel.'' Agreed 1000%
13:10 They did pay off that internal conflict at the very last scene. The way she answered the interviewer shows that she has now embraced her She-Hulk super-heroine persona, and also accepted herself as the talented lawyer Jen Walters, now she can balance her two lives because she has fully accepted them and integrated them.
Im a woman, a fan of Marvel since 2008, a lawyer, a feminist, and this show was not funny nor relatable, it was mediocre at everything they did, and the worst show I've seen this year. If I hadn’t payed my yearly subscription I probably would have not watched it (as I only use D+ for their SW and Marvel series) and Im this close 🤏🏼 to not renewing in December.
My whole problem with the show, was the waste. The waste of Tatiana Maslany, the waste of Renee Elise Goldsberry, The waste of the Hulk, the waste of the story, the waste of the opportunity, the waste of my time. I defended the show, from the start, saying to give it time, that it would improve. It didn't. I actually think it damaged Marvel. It fed the trolls, but not in a clever way. It actually gave them ammo to attack with. The male characters were all awful caricatures, either idiots or misogynists, apart from Hulk and Daredevil. Marvel needs a break. They need to slow the production line, and look at quality control, because this show was C minus at best.
I think this show was more about being a commentary on the MCU as a whole and MCU fans and less about Jen as a character. And that’s why this show might not work for everybody
Just finished She-Hulk and overall I was disappointed. I think the whole treatment of the series that Jenna encapsulated in one line in the finale when she said the series was a "legal comedy" was completely the wrong approach. It should've been an action adventure with some comedy and legal cases mixed in. This would've been the best approach because the only interesting things that happened in the entire series at all were the introduction of and sequences with Matt Murdock/Daredevil. And the blood collection plot. But even that plot didn't pan out at all because it never led to anything. So I could've just watched the first, eighth, and ninth episodes and not missed a thing. That's not good. Besides that, everything else felt frivolous and non-consequential to anything; not only in the bigger picture of the MCU. But even to her character and the series itself. If they ever do a second season, tons of fat has to be cut out. They have to make things much more eventful, more often. And take a completely new approach to the series by changing it from a legal comedy to an action-adventure with some legalese and comedy in addition. But those aspects would only be in support of. Not in lieu of as it is now.
A series needs a running through line whether its a story, thematic base, or core episodic structure so its CONSISTENT. Each ep is so disjointed from the other and there is no goal or payoff which is what every great season of every great show has.
Completely disagree with yalls disliking of her going on the Disney play screen. Rob talked all season about how she used to tear the page and go to the marvel writers room AND swing Kevin and now that it happens y’all don’t like that it happened. The breaking through Disney plus was the one of the highlights of this season
Wow... It's almost like when you 'cast' a writing team based on their identity instead of their ability it falls on it's face... If only someone (or many people) had been trying to stop Hollywood from sinking into identity politics???
@@TheaterPup Pick best person for a project whether a minority or not. Many people won't enjoy getting a job 'cuz they are needed to meet a "diversity quota" and/or "virtue signal" instead of their skills/abilities. It sometimes isn't just straight white men that are shafted when you prefer one group over another.. Jennifer Gao probably wasn't the best pick.
Ok, this was definitely a weird finale but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find it funny because I did, seeing Jen leave the show, go to Marvel studios and confront Kevin about the ending did make me laugh, I also thought the intro mimicking the original Lou Ferrigno Hulk show was great, and I do think an ending like the one we thought we were gonna get probably wouldn’t have been as entertaining as this one, although I think it would’ve been funnier if we actually saw Kevin Feige, that’s really the only missed opportunity I feel, I may be alone in this but I don’t care, I loved She Hulk, for me it’s right below Wandavision as my favorite Marvel Disney+ show, Jen was an amazing character, the plot, while nothing huge or earth shattering was entertaining, I thought it was funny and personally while a lot of others might not have I really enjoyed it
my only problem is the writing. i’ve enjoyed the series for the most part, but the characters r great, i love pug and nikki. but some of the humor is very forced and some of it works. it’s inconsistent. but i still like the show and hoping for a season 2
To back up what Robert was saying: When Deadpool breaks the 4th wall, it feels like he’s sitting with the audience commenting on the film with the audience as if the audience is a group of his friends. In She-Hulk, Jen occasionally does that, but more often the 4th wall breaking is Jen speaking to the audience as if comic book nerds are idiots or the story itself is below She-Hulk’s own standard. Deadpool poked fun to JOIN the audience discussion. She-Hulk seems to berate the audience itself for even watching. It’s very strange.
This was the biggest middle finger of a finale I’ve ever seen. This whole show was a huge misfire.
It's like they couldn't figure out an ending, so they said "screw it, we'll just have her break the forth wall and come back to a resolved story".
@@Niko-wj4xy Simple and full of plot holes and cliches still. Both endings were messes, nothing was really improved upon.

He did it to prove a point, and his point is a reflection of what our current society is like.
This guy gets it!☝🏾
The 4th wall break in last episode was too extreme. Maybe breaking into the Disney+ screen would've worked if it stopped there as a quick gag.
the social commentary was great and the meta was even better.
I give She-Hulk an 8.5/10 .
Had a blast.
I don’t think it felt flat at all. I think it raised expectations for the MCU, and showed the audience that they’re listening and kind of poking fun at itself through shehulks breaking of the fourth wall.
People thst weren’t predisposed to hate it agree
*Raised expectations* 🤣
They had 9 episodes, and EVERY one was garbage. No wonder they've put their film slate back. Phase 4 has been atrocious. Also the twerking scene was one of the worst parts. How he thinks that's funny I'll never know. It seems he's very easily pleased, because the show hasn't been funny once.
Agreed.
@Dev Ames How exactly was this show funny? It's either funny or it isn't, this is the latter. If you find garbage like this funny, then you don't understand how true comedy works I'm afraid.
Being real, this show was a massive disappointment for me.
Did they ever explain the spaceship at the start that caused the crash and created she-hulk? was the spaceship looking for hulk to take him somewhere? (because later we see hulk in a spaceship)
So is she-hulk's origin story that Hulk's Galactic Uber accidently caused a crash and created She-Hulk?
I agree about some of the critiques. I just think it's funny that in the commentary about how to fix the show Rob got his wish and it still did work for him.
She Hulk was straight trash!!...I struggled just to finish it. Old Kevin Fiege needs to return and bring great content like before...this 4th phase has been falling time and time again smh....I HOPE Black Panther Wakanda Forever turns this around
I checked out of Moon Knight, Ms Marvel & She Hulk I just cant
@@dominiquejones3805 Moon Knight in my opinion was the best Marvel series to date. You should at least watch that one.
I love the episode. The best 4th wall break I’ve ever seen!
The character going and asking the producers and writers to make her show suck less?? Yeah dude absolute genius
@@RyanFloom if Deadpool did it you’ll eat that up
I think Marvel lost their way after Endgame , I love Marvel don't get me wrong , but since Endgame a few things were real good other are just meh.
I hope that they don't screw up Black Panther.
I share your opinion. However, don’t let MCU extremist fans find out, they’ll think you don’t know anything about entertainment.
@@douggarate5429 Bad take; It's not being extremist to have a different opinion and more to the point it doesn't really matter if you don't share it.
This was a crap ideological show which used a comic book character as the framework.
Am I the only one who likes the Netflix Marvel shows over the Disney+ ones so far?
Agree with you totally 👍
Too boring…
I really enjoyed the opening of this episode. It was a homage to the Incredible Hulk tv show.
I had my Chris Pratt as Andy in Parks and Rec face during that while segment.
My last rant... I saw the writer's interview... laughy girl. I thought that she portrayed some disdain for "this comicbook movie saga thing"... she was barely coherent and couldn't say a sentence that didn't include "you know?".
I saw some executive trashing on the MCU fan and their "high expectations "... we're the problem. The people that buy the tickets and pay for the subscription. What successful business actively tries to dispell the myth that their customers should have high expectations of the quality of their product (shouldn't you be happy that you've earned this and have the profits to prove it?).
Who approved these decisions and this script? Who invited these people of low standards into Marvel Entertainment? Why do I suspect that Netflix will prove to be more adept at interpreting Marvel characters after seeing the new Daredevil? (Iron Fist notwithstanding)... Disney needs to pay attention and Feige needs to return to being the Feige we know and revere... Mahurshula Ali shouldnt be the one to have to stand up and identify a trash plan pre-production.
The finale was easily the most entertaining episode of the show just for sheer audacity, the daredevil episode was solid, but overall the show has just been really uneven. The character has been fine but the plot really meandered. It’s a bit of a shame, but the stuff from the comic that was always doing silly stuff because they were certain they were about to get canceled just doesn’t translate to being a Disney+ show in the biggest franchise in existence.
She hulk SUCK, ton opinion suck aussi
She-Hulk is Top 10 Marvel for me . Gave me everything I wanted and a few surprises I never saw coming.
Most insane finale ever!!
So after watching the finale, this is what I’ve gather:
Kevin Feige is aware of the criticism of the common complaints of the MCU being the same and the concerns with phase 4? So he used this show to troll both the trolls and the fans (Jen asking about the X-Men)?
He basically said (in Stephen A. voice), “we don’t care” 🤪
This show felt like a fever dream, what was the point of it. The finale is so different from what was established in the first episode. What was the moral of the show? Titania was pointless, in fact there’s not really a villain. No I refuse to believe that soulless robot with the little cap is Feige. Why couldn’t he just physically make a cameo? Does he worry about his acting ability? I won’t judge 🤷🏽♀️ I always thought it was cool when CEOs or presidents make cameos in their own projects.
I loved how they showed us the writers room, we can put faces on people who ruined it.
some are actors though
Was Dane Cook in there?
This show was awful, Marvel needs to stop giving mediocre writers all these free will, it just doesnt work.
The whole story was Jen accepting being Jen & She-Hulk. If you don't get that I don't know what to say.
Right?
The premier, Daredevil’s episode and the finale are the best episodes. The season itself was unevenly paced which made watching the show frustrating. Some episodes having pointless and uninteresting B plot’s was a weak point as well. Episode runtimes we’re also short. Daredevil was integrated well and Tatiana was great in her role. Going beyond breaking the 4th wall by going full meta was odd at first but I ended up appreciating it.
YOU FORGOT ONE IN YOUR BEST EPISODE LIST AND ITS NOT WHERE YOU THHHIIIINNNNKKKK
@@cmthekilla I completely forgot about her!
@@cmorris9494 WATCH AFTER THE END CREDITS
Netflix did MCU series justice. Punisher, Daredevil were pure gold and now Disney has virtually butchered daredevil. This show was ridiculous. even Iron Fist has been better than the latest MCU series and that's saying a lot.
What was the point of the Titania story line, what was the point of the blood story line? She just shows back up and everything is resolved. How far back was retconned? Her power dampeners are magically gone. Did they also undo him getting her blood? Did the blood just disappear too? Titania just shows up?! Why? I started off loving the episode after that amazing cliff hanger last episode and then half way through… this?! Just so frustrating. We didn’t see her actually be a lawyer or superhero. She did nothing! Ugh I’m so mad! 4th wall is great but it just dragged on too long. Why didn’t they just do a rewind of some sort and then tell the story again. Matt showing back up was clunky too. I think I’m just going to stick to the Avenger movies from now on.
I didn’t understand why Titania turned up either, but I was excited about a brawl…that never happened.
Feels like the writers didn’t know how to end it and just went with “whatever! it’s marvel, those suckers will accept whatever we put out there”.
@@abjeth To be fair, that last part is true.
The big 4th wall break was EXACTLY like the comics. The thing I remember the most is her breaking out of the panel and skipping to the end of the story. So much that one character skinned his knee on a staple.
I can see how the plot driven fan would be frustrated. It's the same with WandaVision. People are so invested in grandiose plots that they can't appreciate smaller stories.
Twerking was a laugh moment??? To me it was a cringe moment.
John's sentiments are exactly what the show was criticizing (and spawn all the lovely HulkKing-like comments). Who was the villain? Apparently we missed the entire scene where Jen explained that this show wasn't about the standard superhero formula of "Hero vs Badddie". It was about Jen coming to terms with her dual identity. Hero blood, HulkKing, all that was YAWN. K.E.V.I.N. was the smartest thing they've done in a minute.
I didn't need the formula but I think I would've liked the show if it focused on Jen/She Hulk in the courtroom.
Also, I wish Jen had more of a dual identity. Jen and SH were too similar. I know it's not a separate personality but she should at least be more confident and bold in her SH form. SH was accepting just as much disrespect as Jen.
Meta humor is getting so played out
It was a show that wasn't good....
''To speak their name is to make them live forever''
Nobody stays rent free like She-Hulk or Brie Larson
Exactly they and the other haters don’t get that they’ve been getting trolled by this show the whole time, the show knew exactly the hate that was coming it’s way and is written in such a manner pissing off these fragile marvel fan boys😆
@@Elwood5791 Yeah, they knew the show was bad, self aware doesnt mean its good or genius. Maybe watch something that actually has good characters and storylines
I thought the finale was damn brilliant and hilarious 😂
Robert.....You're right. And when you're right, you're right. And you, you're always right......
Marvel hasn't been Good since the Avengers !!!!! I feel like they not giving any effort and just grabbing money until the next big movie comes out
You mean Avengers one or Edngame?
I'm so disappointed of the show. I hated the ending so much. It had so much potential. like Kevin?!!? WTF
The dude who actually stole the blood was just forgotten about.
The dude who stole the blood is irrelevant. He stole the blood for The Hulk King dude and he revealed why he had it stolen.
@@joonyaboonya Not from a legal standpoint. And, this show is supposed to be a legal comedy....
@@joonyaboonya really horrible plot lines
Yeah, I loved this ending. I thought it was funny, I loved the fourth wall break, found the Jen-size stakes really refreshing and fun. I seriously don’t get the hate. 🤷🏻♀️ Ya whine about formulaic and the trash them when they try something different. I loved phase 1-3 of the MCU… but I’m also still loving what they’re doing now. 🤷🏻♀️
@@TheaterPup Yeah your comment sucks
The main story was her initial conversation with Bruce. The conflict was her accepting both Jennifer and she hulk. The powers weren't the villian. That's what she was saying to Kevin.
She went through the 5 stages of grief per episode.
That’s it……lmfaooo. I thought that was blatant
😂 she never did accept tho. Ending erased all the story they were telling
@@mr2009patty not all but yes it did get rid of the majority of the villian plot.
Really, she didn't accept? What about the end. She accepted that she could be both. Instead of denying she hulk she's both a lawyer and super hero. Which is what Bruce was talking about in the first episode. Those were her stakes. Like she said.
@@michaellanger5671 Sometimes it felt like a Shrek series,
Guys stop holding back, you know you want to say it. This show is utter trash
Marvel shows keep dissapoiting me, the tone, the writing, the pace, the bad jokes , just painful to watch.
The series made me feel like what’s the point of it
John-you are such a Marvel fanboy but afraid to admit this show was trash from the female production to the script a complete waste of money!
@@ronpetersen2317 or maybe he just liked the show?
Awesome finale
You can 100% tell who has never read a She-Hulk comic by how they reacted to this finale.
@@hankhooper1637 Sure, in concept. But when has a movie/tv show of a book that decided to 'do it's own thing' ever turned out well?
@@hankhooper1637 Sure, and deviation in plot, character development and pacing is fine, as per ROP. But this fourth wall stuff, that is literally how the character rolls. It's supposed to be a bit on the nose. The show was certainly flawed but I think some people just don't know what to do with it and so are criticizing. Obviously not for them and that's fine but doesn't mean it's done wrong. The irony of the fans hating on it for the same stuff that the show is deliberately being over the top about...Literally ranting about the Marvel formula, the weak storylines everyone was complaining about the previous week but now are upset that they were abandoned...
@@hankhooper1637 Well, that is where it falls apart. I took it like the old Loony Toons where the character would argue with the artist and things would get erased or changed. Like, Kevin changed things to suit her so she would go away. Which I guess does make her a Karen. Now that *does* make for a poor storyline in this case, but I guess they chose to go for the tongue in cheek approach rather than realism.
Maybe the real comedy was the friends we made along the way
Loved the beginning few episodes. Kinda got disappointed in the middle, because I just felt like it wasn't going anywhere cohesive, though there were some great points. I really enjoyed episode 8...and I absolutely LOVED this finale. It's one of my favorite of the MCU TV show finales so far. Just great.
Out of the 9 episodes, only 4 were good imo. The premiere episode, n the last 3. I’m just glad we can put this show in the rear view, n put all our focus on Wakanda Forever. 💯👏🏼
The series started out ok and just progressively got worse. Daredevil was the best part. Then it ends with a terrible finale
''l feel this show was inspired by all the buIIying, harasment and deth threats BrieLarson has dealt with in the last couple of years, just to be Captain Marvel.''
Agreed 1000%
The social commentary of She-Hulk is a masterpiece
13:10 They did pay off that internal conflict at the very last scene. The way she answered the interviewer shows that she has now embraced her She-Hulk super-heroine persona, and also accepted herself as the talented lawyer Jen Walters, now she can balance her two lives because she has fully accepted them and integrated them.
Im a woman, a fan of Marvel since 2008, a lawyer, a feminist, and this show was not funny nor relatable, it was mediocre at everything they did, and the worst show I've seen this year. If I hadn’t payed my yearly subscription I probably would have not watched it (as I only use D+ for their SW and Marvel series) and Im this close 🤏🏼 to not renewing in December.
My whole problem with the show, was the waste. The waste of Tatiana Maslany, the waste of Renee Elise Goldsberry, The waste of the Hulk, the waste of the story, the waste of the opportunity, the waste of my time. I defended the show, from the start, saying to give it time, that it would improve. It didn't. I actually think it damaged Marvel. It fed the trolls, but not in a clever way. It actually gave them ammo to attack with. The male characters were all awful caricatures, either idiots or misogynists, apart from Hulk and Daredevil. Marvel needs a break. They need to slow the production line, and look at quality control, because this show was C minus at best.
I think this show was more about being a commentary on the MCU as a whole and MCU fans and less about Jen as a character. And that’s why this show might not work for everybody
I loved it. But... as you guys say, I wish it was better and the funny thing is has the potential to be much much better.
She Hulk was awful. Really bad. If this is the direction Marvel is taking Hulks in then they are crazy. Nobody wants to watch crap like this.
Robert "John Byrne got it right", John Byrne - had She-Hulk doing the exactly the same thing as this show. Huh
it kills me every time John says i laughed out loud haha
Just finished She-Hulk and overall I was disappointed. I think the whole treatment of the series that Jenna encapsulated in one line in the finale when she said the series was a "legal comedy" was completely the wrong approach.
It should've been an action adventure with some comedy and legal cases mixed in. This would've been the best approach because the only interesting things that happened in the entire series at all were the introduction of and sequences with Matt Murdock/Daredevil. And the blood collection plot. But even that plot didn't pan out at all because it never led to anything.
So I could've just watched the first, eighth, and ninth episodes and not missed a thing. That's not good.
Besides that, everything else felt frivolous and non-consequential to anything; not only in the bigger picture of the MCU. But even to her character and the series itself.
If they ever do a second season, tons of fat has to be cut out. They have to make things much more eventful, more often. And take a completely new approach to the series by changing it from a legal comedy to an action-adventure with some legalese and comedy in addition. But those aspects would only be in support of. Not in lieu of as it is now.
I didn't like Moon Knight or Ms Marvel but damn this was bad
It wasn’t good to me
A very boring show. My wife and I stopped after 4 episodes. Such lazy writing.
I took the she-hulk on the big screen as a tease she IS going to be in the movies later on
She Hulk was a waste of time.
and of Tatiana Maslany
A series needs a running through line whether its a story, thematic base, or core episodic structure so its CONSISTENT. Each ep is so disjointed from the other and there is no goal or payoff which is what every great season of every great show has.
The show SUCKED!!! The MCU is not looking good, it's going downhill...
Completely disagree with yalls disliking of her going on the Disney play screen. Rob talked all season about how she used to tear the page and go to the marvel writers room AND swing Kevin and now that it happens y’all don’t like that it happened. The breaking through Disney plus was the one of the highlights of this season
Wow... It's almost like when you 'cast' a writing team based on their identity instead of their ability it falls on it's face... If only someone (or many people) had been trying to stop Hollywood from sinking into identity politics???
Yeah…..
Sure thing there big guy
@@TheaterPup Pick best person for a project whether a minority or not. Many people won't enjoy getting a job 'cuz they are needed to meet a "diversity quota" and/or "virtue signal" instead of their skills/abilities. It sometimes isn't just straight white men that are shafted when you prefer one group over another.. Jennifer Gao probably wasn't the best pick.
Ok, this was definitely a weird finale but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find it funny because I did, seeing Jen leave the show, go to Marvel studios and confront Kevin about the ending did make me laugh, I also thought the intro mimicking the original Lou Ferrigno Hulk show was great, and I do think an ending like the one we thought we were gonna get probably wouldn’t have been as entertaining as this one, although I think it would’ve been funnier if we actually saw Kevin Feige, that’s really the only missed opportunity I feel, I may be alone in this but I don’t care, I loved She Hulk, for me it’s right below Wandavision as my favorite Marvel Disney+ show, Jen was an amazing character, the plot, while nothing huge or earth shattering was entertaining, I thought it was funny and personally while a lot of others might not have I really enjoyed it
I agree 100%
You’re not alone dude. I LOVE this show. 7/10, 4th fav MCU Disney + show
I really enjoy this show, and i really love this episode
where was the lawyer show?
I'm so thankful and happy Marvel is putting a spotlight on the hate_tubers and hate_mongers
Yup I’ll subscribe to them, thanks marvel. 👍🏼
@@solidsnake497 so you don't want to support one shitty show, but you'll gladly support shitty, lazy youtubers ?
Old Chinese Proverb: Don’t feed the trolls.
How did you guys totally not even acknowledge the opening of the episode. They re-did the opening of the original Hulk TV show. That was awesome.
They’d have to admit it was good
my only problem is the writing. i’ve enjoyed the series for the most part, but the characters r great, i love pug and nikki. but some of the humor is very forced and some of it works. it’s inconsistent. but i still like the show and hoping for a season 2
To back up what Robert was saying: When Deadpool breaks the 4th wall, it feels like he’s sitting with the audience commenting on the film with the audience as if the audience is a group of his friends. In She-Hulk, Jen occasionally does that, but more often the 4th wall breaking is Jen speaking to the audience as if comic book nerds are idiots or the story itself is below She-Hulk’s own standard. Deadpool poked fun to JOIN the audience discussion. She-Hulk seems to berate the audience itself for even watching. It’s very strange.
Its all subjective. I love She-Hulk and this finale was awesome! Have a good one.
You can tell me the show couldn't have been better though ur just okay with what the show was
Loved the finale and show overall too.
