I was really wary of the 4th wall breaking. I know it's from the comics medium, but everything doesn't translate. It makes the whole MCU into a thing where nothing truly matters because it's all "just movies/shows made by Marvel Studios". I wanted to give it a chance, but not feeling it. And I'm someone who defends the MCU against what I feel to be overwrought criticisms. Seriousness of Black panther coming up? It doesn't matter because it's really just a movie within that world. Just not a good creative decision IMO. I had hoped her 4th wall breaking would be incorporated into where she's actually talking to beings in another dimension or something if it had to be done. But nope.
Yeah it really just undermined everything Marvel Studios has done. Made it almost seem all pointless. That was very stupid way to go with the 4th wall breaking.

And I was worried about the 4th wall breaking in the beginning too because I felt she talked to us too long. In comics when she broke the fourth wall it was usually just a quick gag and not a full on conversation with the reader. Turns out my concerns were warranted.

I wish I could wash my memory of that finale. That was stupid as fukk.

If they wanted to do it, they could have done something like Mojo (or some interdimensional being) coming to her and saying you've been selected to be part of a TV show in our dimension. She protests and they basically say there is nothing you can do about it, but don't worry we won't interfere in your life. Consider us your silent observers. She eventually just decides to go with it. That's how you can incorporate comic 4th wall breaking without making everything the MCU has done essentially meaningless.

You really slipped on this one K.E.V.I.N

i was def wrong about this show being worse than Ms Marvel. Marvel at least had a decent finale and the inital episodes were very dope.

This show was literal fan service that didnt help it out in the long run. The incel stuff was lazy writing too. It had potential to drive a point home harder but instead they made an un-threatening douchey white dude as the cult leader. The leader of an incel club im sure should look as douchey as Andrew Tate (which they could have hired an actor that resembles him).

I’ve noticed that last page of replies praising this show has been more towards “getting back” and “trolling” the “incels” as if that’s a proper substitute for a proper plot and a coherent storyline. It makes for an awkward viewing. Some people find it entertaining, and more power to them, but some critics have a point as well.

and tbh its felt out of place. Aint Jen and her coworkers damn well in their 30s? Across Youtube, the whole redpill shyt was mainly targeted at younger and more frivolous chics. the whole "slut shaming" idea is more for younger audiences in their 20s kinda thing, especially since its widely accepted that your 20s are your "fukking up" years.

If they had episodes about her not being married or more of her friends getting married, it would probably fit better. Maybe we meet Skaar earlier in the season and witness Banner is settling down? Maybe her best friend and the dude she works with hook up? Daredevil has trouble connecting cause of some Kingpin trauma? anything could have been done to show an attempt at keeping to the original shows premise and theme. Thats what I liked about shows like Insecure. You can get a genuine idea of what its like for older women to date and have a demanding corporate job meanwhile balancing the idea of self image as a woman.

She Hulk has always been meta commentary on the comics
So yeah the show being used to make a larger statement about the formulaic marvel movies and tv shows
its all down to the machine AI Algorithm

I can't believe the Hulk had an entire journey in the span of a few episodes off screen

I can finally speak on this show now that its done

The people who care about she hulk being a woman, making fun of men, and whining about her women centric plots are incels and don't like the MCU currently because its becoming more about that
They need to be laughed at a fair amount imo

The people actually criticizing the show absolutely know nothing about she hulk to begin with imo
The 4th wall breaking is a staple of her character and sets her apart from just being the female Hulk

I love that they went all in on roasting incels/chuds. It was on the nose, but it needs to be. Those guys are probably raging hard in their videos right now, but the joke is on them, they stuck around and watched a series they hated and contributed to the viewership.

I thought this was one of the stronger more consistent series they've put out. It was a gag series. If people didn't find the gag funny, that's fine, but the show told you what it was about earlier on and people still was insistent and expected for it to give them serious storytelling :mjlol:. It's like watching Space Ghost: Coast 2 Coast or Eric Andre Show and expecting a traditional late night talk show.
