She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

I would have been happier with a “real” ending that included She-Hulk telling the writers to do better and then showing us a better ending. Even without a big brawl that would have been fine.

I did not really enjoy the ending. Yes, it had some funny moments, but it could have just ended at the bronsky compound with no brawl but something fun. On the whole, the series was OK. It was fun at times, but for me anyway, it failed at other points. I did like the inclusion of the only true daredevil :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: but I felt like the CGI in the penultimate episode was not that great. There were some interactions with objects that just did not seem to work, whereas previous episodes it was integrated better.

After all is said and done, of course, I will watch season two if it comes out.

Precisely, You can imagine it going like this:
(a) beginnings of big-fight-typical-MCU ending
(b) Jen doesn’t like this, extensively breaks 4th wall, tells KEVIN not to do it this way
(c) very clever ending in which Jen uses her legal smarts and the lessons she’s learned to beat the baddies, with help from her buddies, callbacks to previous episodes, etc, but no big brawl, no blood, no Bruce, etc
(d) wrapup

Instead, it basically just skipped (c). Which is a shame. As I said, I still enjoyed the episode, but it could have been even better and far cleverer

I think all those Harrison Ford stories are traced back to the same post on a sketchy web site. I’m not saying it isn’t happening but right now the story seems to be one giant content circle jerk.

No decision is final until it’s put to a vote of the CAG (Curmudgeon Actors Guild).

Watched and loved the entire series, and can’t wait for season two. I hate to admit it, but I’ve never read any of the comics (although I’ve seen assorted panels online over the years). I tried searching for them online and got lost in the flood of various collections and online reproductions. Any suggestions on where to start?

Unless you are into collecting, the most affordable and extensive option is Marvel Unlimited for $10 a month.

If you have a Kindle account and you’re an Amazon Prime member, the She Hulk by Dan Slott Complete Collection is currently in Prime Reading, which is free. (Prime Reading is not the same as Kindle Unlimited, which comes with a monthly subscription fee.)

Here is the John Byrne She-Hulk collection.

I think the Disney+ menu bust-out qualifies. :laughing:

And I called both of those too. :slight_smile:

One thing I’ve been thinking about, when Emil Blonsky is trying to get out on parole, he has a cadre of “soulmates” he claims are waiting for him on the outside. They’re going to go start a commune at a remote compound, he says. Later, we see this remote compound, extensively, but his soulmates are nowhere to be found, just a bunch of second-rate heroes working through their issues. Are they still around, just always offscreen? Were they just hired to make Emil look like he had more prospects on the outside? Were they extras that Disney didn’t want to pay to be in more than one episode?

Breaking the fourth wall has never seemed “clever” to me. It’s so common in the TV and comic books and radio shows I consumed growing up, you have to do something incredibly creative to impress me. And this was not that. Consequently, it just seemed juvenile.

It used to blow my mind when I was younger (probably starting with “The Monster At The End Of This Book”). But nowadays I don’t find it inherently funny. I.e., simply breaking the fourth wall is not a good substitute for an actual joke, in my opinion.

It CAN be used to good effect, see Fleabag for example IMHO, but it is not funny in and of itself. It seems a device that thinks itself cleverer than it usually is, and is easily overused. I like this show, lots, but I think they have overused it.

It was used effectively from the get-go in Fleabag. It was also used from the get-go here effectively I thought. Had it only been used sparingly or not introduced until, say, episode 5, it might not have worked. Breaking through the Disney Home screen was hilarious!

Never mind

Yes, that’s what has been bothering me, but somehow it wasn’t manifesting itself specifically in my mind. Fleabag used that with such good effect. This show has been just throwing it in. I don’t think any of the jokes were really funny.

I haven’t watched it yet, but here is the inevitable Legal Eagle video:

LegalEagle backed up my IANAL impression about that scene within the first minute or so of his analysis; see the video Johnny Bravo posted just now in this thread.

The drawings that are shown over the end credits for the episode show Blonsky’s “soul mates” weeping as he heads off into the sunset without them.
