However, the film side of Marvel has been a different story altogether. Phase Four kicked off with Thor: Ragnarok, which was met with critical acclaim and box office success. Then came Black Panther, which was also well-received by both critics and audiences alike. Finally, Avengers: Infinity War is set to be one of the biggest films of all time and it looks like Marvel Studios is in good hands. ..
While the premise of “Suits” sounds interesting on paper, what we get instead is a show that is light on the comedy and devoid of any sort of legal drama. ..
She-Hulk is a show that is both tonally confused and has a shockingly Narcissistic and arrogant protagonist.
The She-Hulk launch was supposed to be a success, but it was quickly revealed that the character’s problems go beyond just her looks. She-Hulk is a complex and well-developed character, but her story and narrative were not up to par. The CGI in the launch was poor, and there were also issues with storytelling, logical beats and character development. This lack of quality left the audience feeling frustrated and unfulfilled.
Jennifer Walters is a successful lawyer who just so happens to be Bruce Banner’s cousin. The pair get into a car crash, prompting Jen to rip the door off and free Bruce. In doing so, cuts her arm open. Bruce’s blood mixes with her own and thus, She-Hulk is born.
Banner, after nearly seriously injuring a bunch of guys outside a bar, saves Jen from Hulking out and losing control, taking her to a beach resort in order to help her hone her power. He wants to teach her the ins and outs of being a Hulk. ..
Jen doesn’t like the idea of helping others and saving lives, as that’s for “narcisstic playboys and guys with ‘daddy issues’” so instead she doubles down on her job. Interestingly, she’s recruited by a top firm to work in the superhuman division as She-Hulk, which Jen doesn’t take too kindly to. ..
In the first episode of the season, Jen’s social life takes a hit when she’s forced to break up with her boyfriend. While she tries to make things right, she quickly realizes that being single is not as bad as it seems. She meets new people and makes new friends, which helps her get over her break-up and start fresh. However, the show doesn’t stop there; in the second episode, we see Jen go on a date with a man who is much older than her. While it’s not an ideal situation, it shows that being single isn’t always bad. In fact, it can be quite fun to explore new options and meet new people.
The chapters in this book are just so boring. There’s an entire episode here around Jen waiting for a text from a guy she slept with after meeting him blind drunk at her friend’s wedding the chapter before, and then there’s another where Jen heads out to buy clothes and decides to don the She-Hulk persona just so she can get some matches on Tinder.
The showrunners for MTV’s “She-Hulk” seem to be unaware of the seriousness of their situation. In every episode, Jen sleeps with someone and then the next day she revert back to her Hulk persona. This is not only flippantly funny, but it also creates a double standard in how Jen behaves. In one episode, she sleeps with a guy on the first night and then in the morning she reverts back to being Jen. The guy is not happy that he’s been lied to and leaves. Jen however, believes it’s his fault, oblivious that she has essentially catfished him.
In the finale, a quirky and innocent moment is turned into a dangerous and deadly situation. This is a common occurrence on the show, and it’s something that makes the characters so interesting and engaging.
After eight episodes of Jen taking digs at its audience, from proclaiming Wong’s appearance in one episode gives the writers “Twitter armour for a week” to calling out anyone criticising the writing in the show, She-Hulk herself breaks the fourth wall to head into the writer’s room, where a self-inserted Jessica Gao (the show’s head writer and creator) is sitting, listening as Jen complains about the writing in her show. ..
Jen changes her reality, including bringing a returning Matt Murdoch in (without asking his consent I may add) to join her for a family dinner.
The Last Jedi was a divisive movie and it seems like the same is true for the finale of Luke Skywalker’s story. While some people enjoyed it, many others found it tone deaf and unoriginal. This finale feels very similar to both Ghostbusters 2016 and The Last Jedi in that it doesn’t really have a clear message or goal.
She-Hulk is a great show and I’m happy for the people who get that from it.
She-Hulk is one of the worst shows to come out of 2022. It has poor narrative, story, CGI, and character development. ..
