I can't believe how many of you find yourself tricked into accidentally watching the 5th episode of a TV show called "She-Hulk" not yet realizing that its a show about women for women. Who could have predicted it!

My wife won’t even watch five minutes of it, and she went through every MCU property in order before going to watch Endgame.

Scarlet Witch and Black Widow are badasses and their characters were developed naturally through their own strengths.

She-Hulk’s character development has been minimal because the show has tried developing her character at the expense of others (exaggerated sexism and objectification of women by ridiculous male characters, preemptively attacking the “haters” on social media).

I’m not a Brie Larson fan, but her portrayal of Captain Marvel is more likable than She-Hulk. And Jennifer Walters isn’t even the main source of the criticism. They’re trying to let her character remain likable by letting the supporting cast lead the social commentary.

If a character is written well, she’ll stand on her own. She-Hulk has been on the defensive since episode one.

She-Hulk is not great TV by any stretch, but it is mildly-entertaining, mindless entertainment. It is a sitcom, not an MCU film.

I really like Tatiana Maslany from her days on Orphan Black, so I am going to give her more than a few episodes to get this thing headed in the right direction.

Who’s helmet was that at the end?

That’s what my son said too. But it wasn’t red I didn’t think

You nailed it! It's the got damn "Man without fear"! One Matt Murdock! When I was a kid reading marvel comics, he and Spidey were my favorites to read. I took that man without fear saying seriously, I read a comic where he fought the Man thing or Swamp thing, a huge ugly creature, and I said to myself, well, he's blind. So, he can't see what this creature looks like or else he'd be terrified. So, he really is the Man without fear! Lol I loved how our young minds would think.

Episode 6 was so bad
At least the ending of episode 6 gives me hope they will at least make it interesting the last 3 episodes
Otherwise this has been a terrible show so far and I really hope they keep She Hulk low profile in any upcoming avengers movies

When they admit that they have zero lawyer, court show experience and then on top of that completely ignore the source material, how else is it supposed to go but badly?

She hulk was basically Deadpool before Deadpool, and should have a core audience from which to draw. Yet the writers and Showrunners insisted on inserting their own political agenda instead.

at this point i just read the reviews for the episode, waiting for Daredevil or someone interesting to show up before i consider watching.

This show was written by morons that don't want the largest demographic that is interested in their character to watch.
25+ year old females aren't going to give you the ratings and views to get you a second season. the 25+ white male will, but you have done everything you can to turn that audience away.

and it's sad b/c She-Hulk is a fun character, and the actress seems to be a good fit. I would love to see her in an Avengers movie, where we know the writers and directors aren't emotional dumbasses.

By the way, the She-Hulk Twitter account is now putting out these great tweets and iconic memes:

My biggest complaint is the episodes being about 20 minutes long. Gives the plot zero chance to get off the ground each week.

I mean, maybe it picks up in the final 1/3, but this could’ve been like a 4-episode season.
