I like that they say audiences don’t want comedy. We don’t mind comedy, we just want comedy with some intelligence instead of 10yr old bathroom humor for “adults.” You know, something actually witty, and maybe even funny.
I thought the show was fun. If I want to watch something grim like “Schindler’s List” I will. This show is a different beast altogether, and some whimsy and lightheartedness is not a bad thing.
The feeling I got from all of MCU phase 4 is they were wrapping up some character arcs and were trying to pull in audiences outside the mainstream fan base they already had. The issue is when something is not targeted at them the internet trolls go stupid instead of watching an episode or two, deciding no this isn’t for me, and just moving on with life.
I honestly wanted to like it, but it wasn’t enough about the character, the story, or even that good of a comedy. It wouldn’t focus and gave way too much attention to attacking a portion of the audience that was never going to have anything good to say about it to begin with. The recent Black Panther movie was fantastic, and while a lot of Thor: Love and Thunder was bad, Jane Foster as Mighty Thor was an actual bright spot of the film. Blaming toxic masculinity or toxic portions of the fanbase needs to stop being an excuse for justifying poor writing. If it’s always the audience to blame, no one learns and changes to become better. This being a comedy was never the issue, and the article writer doesn’t get that. The MCU has poked fun at itself before, and there has been comedy interwoven throughout the whole of the MCU, some parts more than others. It failed in Thor: Love and Thunder because it wasn’t well timed and got more in the way of the story than complimenting it. She-Hulk’s comedy failed because it wasn’t built on anything or woven into the story, and it tried to tell you what to think. Like having Wong make another cameo and straight up telling the audience they were happy to see him again ruined any chance of that actually being true. It constantly hurt itself.
It was fine. We needed a female hero that pointed out a lot of misogyny that goes on. And besides, kids, it’s a comic book TV show. If you want great writing and original thinking, go see an independent film.
Because it never existed in the MCU to begin with. You can’t make fans like something that didn’t exist in the original.
That’s like giving Luke Skywalker another sister and making a whole series around a character that never existed 🤦🏼♂️
I started off really liking the show and near the end some episodes were boring or just bad; with the season finale being the absolute worst. I was so mad at that last episode. I wanted it to be something else but nothing like that😳 I’d definitely give it a 2nd season though, her supporting cast was amazing and funny.
I liked it. Or basically, I liked almost everything till that last episode. The 4th wall break was too much.
But, I’m all for more legal dramady using the cast. There’s a lot you could do in the super world.
Think night court, but with extra exaggerated outcomes. Like the dude who has 11 wives claiming his money? That’s a premise for a while ep, not just a b plot.
The HUMOR in the movies and TV shows was written by poor writers. I hope She-hulk finds her place in the MCU movies, cause she needs redemption with a much better writer. I like to see her on the Avengers next movie.
I’m glad that some people liked it. But I did not. It was so poorly written, didn’t make any sense, and I quit watching somewhere around mid-season. A coworker told me I had to watch the finale bc it was “epically bad” (except the cool throwback opening theme on the final episode! That was cool!). And he was correct. Seriously. W.T.F.
Now, if season 2 opens with her waking up from a coma—that’s the only way I can see season 1 making “sense” lol
Yup there it is:
The audiences are wrong and toxic, rather then the few critics are biased
Hollywood is dead
I was actually thinking it was gonna turn out to be a good show

I loved the show. I don’t particularly care for the people who bash it. They’re mostly white male MAGAts who are insecure about their masculinity.
SheHulk was not made for the average Marvel fan, there were some good parts, but it was hard to enjoy, especially when she kept talking to the camera

I mean I would assume all rotten records would be “unwanted”

Because it was poorly written and tried way too hard to be Meta and forgot you also need a story, plot and character arcs?
I really liked this show and am sorry we won’t get a season 2.
I really really don’t understand peoples dislike of this show. I absolutely loved it.
It was fine. We needed a female hero that pointed out a lot of misogyny that goes on. And besides, kids, it’s a comic book TV show. If you want great writing and original thinking, go see an independent film.
It was a great show.
While I find it fun, it did strike me as a blatant money grab playing off of marvels popularity rather than great writing and acting.

I honestly watched for Jameela Jamil(love her) and they gave her an even worse part than Tatiana Maslany!
If there’s a season 2 I hope they won’t try to make it so comical.
The tongue-in-cheek jokes were fun but you almost have to have real comedians with perfect timing to get the joke off…
I got through 2 episodes. Meh.
Haters gonna hate. It’s an MCU rom-com, what did you people expect?
Whatever I liked it. Very true to the comics IMHO
I have about 647 other shows on my list before I even consider watching anything like that.

Am I one of the few who really enjoyed the show, including the last episode? Ehhh, each to their own, I guess.

An easy fix is to stop writing movies that have to go through a checklist of social issues before you develop a story line.
The writing… The interpretation of the characters… Somewhat ignoring the source material… Could be some of the reasons
Because the series is sub standard. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Because it’s crap and should be erased or burned if it’s on film.
I really think it wasn’t to bad really and things can only get better
