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

[lonestar]

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

I actually think it'll all tie in together by Thunderbolts

[Adami]

I'm sure She Hulk will play a role in future Avengers movies. I don't need every element of these episodes to play into Kang stuff or Secret Wars. This can just be her stuff and when she shows up in the movies, we have a much better idea of who she is.

Also looking forward to how she'll appear in the movies with a bigger budget for her CGI.

[King Postwhore]

It's her arch. It should be about her origins. All that stuff will tie in later.

[lordxizor]

I sometimes think MCU movies/shows can be hurt with the need for it all to tie in to something bigger. It's OK to let a story just be a story. Plus that way if it doesn't pan out there's no need for the characters to continue (e.g. The Eternals) for the sake of the grand overarching story.

[King Postwhore]

People have been complaining that they don't tie in much so I don't understand your thought process.

I'm saying it's OK they don't tie in much.

[King Postwhore]

Ah. Misread that. Yeah. I think it should be that way early on.

[DoctorAction]

Watched up to ep 3 now. I think it's a good, likable show so far. Some of the references didn't always land for me, but hey. Looking forward to more.

The effects are pretty good, too.

I thought She-Hulk herself wasn't as good in Episode 3 as she was in the previous episodes. But overall I've been impressed.

[The Letter M]

Episode 4 might be my favorite so far, and the VFX for She-Hulk have gotten better, at least IMO.

Really enjoyed the action set piece we got, and all the 4th wall breaks in this episode were fantastic.

That episode was frikkin hilarious

[lordxizor]

Another fine episode. I'm thinking this show may not get beyond fine for me.

[Adami]

Fun episode. Really dug Madisynn despite hating that type of person.

That said, I think they need to stick to the episodic format and maybe ditch some of these lingering plot lines that don't seem to be going anywhere yet. Titania is just lingering and the wrecking crew is a subplot we probably won't need. They seem to be doing best at what the show was supposed to be, a funny sitcom about a super hero lawyer, so I hope they continue to allow that room to breathe.

[Aefenwelg]

I'm just really glad I finally decided to watch through The Sopranos in the last year.

Wonger!!!

[bosk1]

I'm sad that I laughed at and enjoyed that post more than anything in this show so far.

[soupytwist]

Episode 4 was better, at least it had a plot - with a beginning and end.  Although Wong going to a lawyer is just completely crap.  I know comedy is subjective and all so it's about taste, but God the jokes in this show are so broad Sandler would probably reject them,  mostly consists of one note dumb characters acting so far removed from what a real human beings is, it just makes it painful to watch.

Hey man, I gave up on Picard. I believe in your ability to not watch what is painful to watch.

I'm digging the show a lot but it's far from perfect or even great.

Yeah I know.  But I'm in the MCU till the end - and this is really the first thing they've put out I've disliked.  Sorry but you'll have to put up with me being a miserable son of bitch on here, unless it grows on me - trust me I want to like it, I'm not hating for hates sake here!

And we both know you'll go back to Picard in the end 

[Adami]

It’s all true!

I feel the same, or worried at least, about Werewolf by night. Not at all looking forward to it but I’m in till the end. So I’ll watch it.

[faizoff]

So no mid-credit scene in episode 5? This episode felt oddly short for me, felt like it could've gone on for a while longer.

Yeah it felt quick, but I dont think it could've gone any longer anyway. This felt like an interlude episode, and there is some obvious set-up for things to come. Not bad, but not the best one so far as we reach the halfway point of the series.

BRB, have to order some Avongers merch

I have to admit that part of the issue I have with this show is that I hate shows that portray being in a courtroom in a way that is NOTHING whatsoever like actually being in a courtroom.  Artistic license is one thing, but completely mispresenting the judicial process is another altogether.  Anyway...

Aside from that, bad writing and overall dumbness still plague this show and keep it from being good, IMO.

I feel the same about showing therapy. I had to stop myself from giving up on Mad About You anytime there was a therapy scene.

I'm not even a lawyer and the legal scenes drive me crazy. I only have one courtroom experience as a juror and it was far more boring than TV shows it to be.

[soupytwist]

Well after last week's mild improvement in the fact that that episode at least had a plot, back to utter shite this week.  Completely agree the court scenes are so removed from any sort of reality it's painful.  And yet more silly one-note caricatures (the fashion designer...) Instead of anything resembling a real person.

[Adami]

It's weird. I read all of your guy's complaints and criticisms and.....I can't argue with much of it. I totally see where most of it is coming from and don't disagree. And yet...I'm still really enjoying the show.

It's funny - people who enjoy it can see why some folks don't, but the folks who don't enjoy cannot seem to see why folks could like it (at least from the discourse I've seen online). It's like haters are only fueled by their need to hate on something without realizing folks can actually like a thing, especially when comedy, which is VERY subjective, is involved.

Agree.

I thought this was a good show from the first couple of eps but now I am hating it. If some are enjoying it fine with me, but man, the comedy is stupid, the scenes in the courtroom are stupid, it is discouraging that the MCU started with Iron Man beating the shit out of the bad guys and not we have She Hulk twearking. It's is just too much.

Television has been missing the mark by miles on 12 step meetings for ages...as well as kitchen work, though the new series The Bear got about as close as one can to capturing the anxiety involved in kitchen work. That shit made me miss sleep from triggering my ptsd

Why is She-Hulk twerking in a post-credits scene any worse than the Avengers sitting around in their full getup eating schwarma in a post-credits scene? Or Star-Lord doing a goofy dance to save the day in the actual climax of the first Guardians film?

I'm fine with people disliking the show but some of the whining is just silly.

I dunno man. I’ve seen Hells Kitchen. That’s how a kitchen operates, right?

The dance is fine as it's perfectly in character for the way they've shown and built the Starlord over the course of the film, and it's a pretty good payoff for him.  It's a hero moment born from desperation, bravery and a healthy dose of blind luck - which pretty much sums him up.
