Marvel Studios' She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (Disney+) - S1 Finale OUT NOW!

[Lonk]

Interesting episode with some interesting dialogues. Liked it.

Enjoying the show but is it just a bit too much - setting the stage? Both episodes so far felt very short and both felt like they just started getting going when they ended, this was particularly apparent with episode 2. Some nice moments but just not enough going on so far, hope it delivers on what it appears to be setting up.

If I'm not mistaken, all episodes are short (30 mins or so), but we are getting 10 (Or is it 9?). We might have another episode setting up the stage.

[soupytwist]

The length of the episode was silly.  If the story of the episode only needs 22 minute fair enough, but nothing really happened in this episode, certainly nothing note worthy to grab the viewer - for a second episode that was just poor planning.

Spoilers ahead!




We'll see where the story goes with The Abomination, but one line he said pretty much set up an entire movie from Phase 5. The Hulk jetting off to space was also interesting since it's clearly setting up something else. The last few seconds of the show told us when this story is taking place in the MCU timeline. Yes, I know those things are outside of the show itself but just saying that it had some important moments for the overall MCU.

For the show itself, I think it was meant to set up her new job, her embracing the She-Hulk label and her new identity as a super powered individual. I personally thought it did a good job at that.

[Adami]

Yea. I think plenty happened in this episode. Not sure what people are expecting. It’s a much lighter show.

[bosk1]

Adami and I both agree on two things:  (1) this episode was fine; and (2) Runaways is trash.  So if there are two things in life I can be confident about, it's those.

God dammit I had just gotten over The Runaways!

[bosk1]

Sorry, I'm just recently getting around to it, since it only recently showed up on D+.  Midway through season 2, and I am hating it.  I have  shut it off "for good" several times, only to come back to it when I am bored and want something in the background.

[lonestar]

I tapped out halfway through S1. Managed to tolerate a few more episodes of that than I did the Inhumans.

[jammindude]

I think I’ve stated this before, but after all the horrible reviews of the Inhumans, I decided to watch it expecting to see something along the lines of Plan 9 from Outer Space. With my expectations being that low, I actually found it enjoyable.

[bosk1]

Same.  It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either.  I would put Inhumans on par with most of the Phase 4 films.

[lonestar]

Maybe I need to revisit it with fresh eyes.

On a second go I even found S1 of Iron Fist palatable. Barely.

[ZirconBlue]

Did y'all catch this?

[bosk1]

Yes

[MinistroRaven]

Did y'all catch this?

Catch what?

[lonestar]

Did y'all catch this?

Wtf where was that in the episode?

[hefdaddy42]

I liked episode 2.

We'll see how it goes from here.

[chknptpie]

Wtf where was that in the episode?

On her computer screen when she was looking for jobs.

[Adami]

I did not catch it during the episode at all. Glad someone did!

Problem isn't so much nothing happen, it's there is no character journey for it.  The end of episode one ended with her having to show the world she is She-Hulk, them she loses her job, gets a new job, the new job comes with a condition, then her first case is defending Abomination.  All this in 20 minutes - it's not told as a story with any impact on Jens character or emotions - it's just bullet point writing at its worst, like something a kid would write...then this happens, then this happens etc, etc.

I disagree entirely. I guess either you have particular types of storytelling that you do and don't like which this doesn't fit, or you're just going in looking for things to dislike. Either way, the episode clearly dealt with Jen's discomfort with her situation. Just because an episode is short doesn't mean it doesn't have meaningful story or character development, there are a bunch of sitcoms with 20 minute episodes like that (Brooklyn Nine-Nine being one that stands out).

I've been the guy defending phase 4 in the main MCU thread!

[MinistroRaven]

I liked the episode a lot.

Hulk in the spaceship might be the MCU Introduction of Skaar, Hulk's Son? And maybe, only MAYBE in the near future we will see an MCU adaptation of the World War Hulk.

[The Letter M]

Just watched episode 3. It was another fun one! Definitely great to see more Blonsky, and it looks like this was another episode with bits from a lot of trailers and clips, though unless a character returns later, it looks like there's been some lines/scenes that were cut.

Either way, I really like the vibe we're getting from this show, and all the cameos and Easter eggs are fun to catch. The scene before the credits has me quite curious as to what they're up to though, and who they're working for.

-Marc.

[ariich]

Indeed. Seems like it's setting up a main antagonist story arc.

Also the mid-credits scene was hilarious.

[lonestar]

Fun episode. There's a very tiny part that's craving a little drama, but most of me is digging the lighthearted feel. The douche bag lawyer is fucking priceless. 

Also the mid-credits scene was hilarious.

Totally

[lordxizor]

Two thoughts:

Wong deserves to be more than just a cameo character.

Who the eff is Megan Thee Stallion?

Flavor of the week pop star. Won some Grammys. Will probably be forgotten in a couple years.

[soupytwist]

Just awful, probably the worst thing Marvel have ever done - including Hasslehoff's Nic Fury.

I guess this was the episode they decided to go comedy, yet they missed by a mile - the elf, the pen pals, Megan all just completely embarrassing.  Tatiana is so much better than this shite.

[ariich]

Not sure I understand this. The whole show has been a sitcom from the start.

Yeah, the comedy has been there all along. It missed more than it hit for me on this episode though. But it was still enjoyable.

Nah, that's an exaggeration.  It's not that bad.

That said, it definitely isn't wowing me either so far.  Definitely my least favorite of the live action MCU D+ shows so far.  I get that they are going for something more lighthearted, and in a specific genre that is different than the typical MCU.  But it just isn't done particularly well, IMO.

[soupytwist]

Not sure I understand this. The whole show has been a sitcom from the start.

The first two episode although badly written still felt close enough to the MCU (all be it the more light-hearted side).  This latest episode felt completely removed from the MCU as it was basically a comedy, complete with wacky characters and situations that only exist in broad comedies.
The show can get better, but I'm struggling to get how they can include Charlie Cox Daredevil in this show.  It's not just the tone being completely different - DD had some amazing action sequence, She- Hulks Choreography is as sloppy as it's writing, based on that fight at the end of this episode.

[Adami]

Enjoyed the episode.

[jammindude]

I did enjoy it more than Soupytwist did, but I’m starting to see his point a bit.

I’m getting to the point where the whimsy is starting to wear on me a bit and I’m wanting to see how this fits into the bigger story.

I still am 100% rooted in the belief that all of these smaller threads are going to come together and make the whole greater than the sum of its parts by the time we get to The Secret Wars

[Skeever]

Really enjoying this so far
