Jen Waits For A Text
In the seventh episode of She-Hulk, Jen starts to date Josh and they seem to be getting along great. She even decides to stop working as a lawyer and focus all her attention on him instead. ..
After a 4 minute montage, Jen returns to work where Nikki tells her she’s been nominated for Female lawyer of the year. Jen doesn’t care though and after belittling those criticising her online, Jen focuses intently on receiving a message back from Josh. He’s not texting her though and that gets Jen frustrated and angry.
On Friday, Jen waits for a message from Blonsky. She is encouraged to head up and help but she’s not particularly happy about it. As we’ve found out from the past episodes, Jen only cares about Jen.
Chuck recalibrates his inhibitor and leaves, with Jen still following behind. Suddenly, a creature called ManBull arrives, fighting El Aguila. They’re working through some identity issues together but Jen is not happy that they’re smashed up her car. She wants financial compensation. Remember when Jen smashed up a whole wedding last episode and didn’t care? ..
Jen is stuck on the ranch with Blonksy, who tells her about the ranch and its inhabitants. Jen doesn’t feel comfortable with it, but Blonksy convinces her to stay.
In a montage of her trying to get a Wi-Fi signal, Jen stumbles into a meeting, where a number of different heroes discuss their problems. Among them happens to be a guy called Wrecker, the man who attacked Jen behind her apartment. Jen doesn’t control her anger and turns into She-Hulk, slamming him across the room.
Eventually Jen sits down and explains what’s happening. She and Josh have been on 3 dates and after sleeping together, she’s been waiting for him to text back, as we know. Now, Jen actually insecurely messaged him again, telling him she was worried and hoped he’s okay, along with a blushing smile emoji.
After working through her issues, the tow-truck shows up and Jen heads back home. However, this time we cut back 3 days earlier and see things from Josh’s perspective. Shock! Horror! It turns out Josh isn’t actually a good guy after all. Who would have guessed it, eh?
Josh sends a message with emojis, confirming he’s taken her blood.
The Episode Review
Another week, another forgettable episode of She-Hulk. It’s no surprise that this show is struggling to keep viewers interested. The writing is poor, the plot is nonexistent, and this week confirms what we’ve all suspected since the first chapter - Jen is an alcoholic. Who takes a shot before going on a date? In the middle of the day no less. And that’s before mentioning how she got so drunk she threw up last week. ..
The episode “Jen Waits for a Text” is a waste of time. The twist at the end was obvious. ..
The show’s writers have acknowledged that they don’t know how to write good law dramas, and that the few examples of this genre found in the show are not up to par. However, the characters here are one-dimensional and Jen is particularly unlikable. She is insecure and arrogant, as well as narcissistic and self-centered. Additionally, she is strange in that she sleeps with men on their first date, which makes her seem unappealing. ..
The episode “She-Hulk” aired on ABC and it was a huge disappointment. The creators, who did not read the She-Hulk comics, believe most of them are “boring and predictable.” This episode confirms that the writers are self-inserting their own problems and issues into this show, and it doesn’t work. ..
She-Hulk is a terrible character from the get-go and it’s no wonder that critics were only given the first 4 episodes of her story. We won’t be giving a full review until we’ve watched the finale!
Daredevil has been a mixed bag thus far, with some good writing and some terrible. I’m not sure if anyone is still watching, but anyone who is should be because this book is in a lot of trouble.
