I really don't understand what happened with this show. After initial setup and couple good episodes it is in total decline. This and previous episode are horrible waste of time.
An actual good episode finally where some of the comedy landed. I have a feeling these last few episodes are going to be worth the watch.
this episode is so fuuuuun
This is one of the better episodes that is funny with the kind of humor I like from Peacemaker.
Abomination kinda a good guy. Maybe cliché, and also a bit lazy to have her explore her character like this, I guess, but Jen/She-Hulk finally feels like an actual character now. I like that. We'll see what's up with the villain, so far it's kinda eh.
6.5/10
An all-around good episode of She-Hulk feels like sacrilege, but that's exactly what we got this week. Gone is the pandering "all men are bad" messaging, and we get to engage with some actual characters that give Jen some space to grow and get some character work done. Granted, I do think that the character work didn't get to the root of Jen's issues by any stretch of the imagination, but these things have layers, and with rumors of the show getting a second season, maybe those layers can be peeled back sometime down the line.
On a superficially positive note, there's a particular long shot that was very nice, and somewhat reminiscent of Sam Esmail's cinematography in Mr. Robot S04 and Homecoming S01, which I found rather nice (if jarring considering none of the rest of the show is like that). We also see some visual artifacts of how Ms. Marvel handled texting in this show which I find work a bit better here than in the previous series.
My main negative criticism of the episode hinges mainly on the people Emil Blonsky hangs out with, they all tend to overreact constantly and aren't reigned in as often as I'd expect, and he and his group come off to me as very superficial and disingenuous. Also, Jen seems to dismissively change the subject after having some great character work done, which doesn't make sense to me.
Better episode, especially after the last week, which is probably the lowest point of the MCU so far. It's not must see TV, but I really enjoyed the Emil camp and the focus on Jen, rather than She-Hulk. The reveal at the end was good but the show is overall slow, unfocused and I thought Daredevil would be a mid season reveal.
As someone (apparently) without any sense of good taste, I found this episode to be highly amusing and thoroughly enjoyable. Haters gonna hate.
Even as someone who initially liked this series, these last few episodes have been painful to watch. Especially this one. It was only 30 minutes long and I still stopped halfway.
This was refreshing especially the latter half compared to last week's wedding episode which to me felt like the low point of not just this show but all the MCU series so far, and I know many who share the same sentiment.
This one didn't exactly start strong with all the cringy texting stuff and honesty I was half expecting yet another terrible episode back-to-back and thankfully it wasn't.
The whole therapy sequence was heartwarming and while there wasn't much if any action it was enjoyable and funny at times. 7/10.
This is bad… Very bad.
Actually quite enjoyed this episode, I found it fun and heartwarming. Jen’s character development all season has been about learning how to accept She-Hulk, then accept Jennifer Walters, and now figuring out how to accept both. This episode laid some of that out plain and clear for anyone that wasn’t getting it before, and Jen had some good character growth this episode. I still have my issues with the show but this episode was one of the most enjoyable for me.
I love this for Tatiana. She is amazing. If people could cut out the MCU from the show, you'd see the show is light, funny and cute.
It's weird seeing people complain that this is just a filler episode. It puts a big twist on her relationship with Josh, furthers the plot of HulKing, advances or perhaps culminates the Blonsky thread, finally expresses a building part of Jen's identity struggle. And is a fantastic way to showcase some wild Marvel D-list villains. This was hilarious, heartbreaking, and so warmly goofy in how it explored sadness and growth.
“Not a literal gang, make sure you make that clear to the parole board.”
Great episode about the duality of being a Marvel character!
This is the biggest piece of trash ever.
Poor Jen. The texting woes were painfully realistic. I was screaming at her to stop typing!
The retreat was really wholesome. Glad it helped being her some balance.
Honestly this was an episode that just.... worked. I don't think I have any notes. It had guest features. A clean narrative with no floppy parts. It didn't have awful law scenes. The character motivations work. Even though I'm not a fan of Emile as fully rehabbed. The MCU seems to be taking it as serious and literal and it's not playing both sides. I respect that.
I feel for Jen finally meeting a guy interested in the person she is on the inside and then apparently nothing. I kept waiting for the reveal that he was kidnapped because he's dating a hulk. We do find out what happened to him and even that was handled well marrying to the original narrative rather than tacking on as a different narrative as what happened in the episode where she finally finalized Abomination's parole.
Bwahahaha, Man-Bull, Porcupine AND El Aguila. So cool to see some of the more hilarious villains show up. Shame that the wrecking crew seems to have been just a brief cameo though, they were a big part of 80s Marvel.
[7.4/10] This was pretty easily my favorite She-Hulk episode so far. Even though we now know the evil that Josh intended, the sequence of Jen and his texts and dates and smiles and other flirty exchanges is the best thing the show’s done so far. The montage does a great job of capturing the energy and glow of a new relationship, where things are still a little touch and go but also exciting with possibility. The song and steady build of their bond sell the growing intimacy that reaches its zenith when Jen invites him in.
Then, just as well, the show captures that nervous frustration when you’ve seemingly hit a major milestone and yet the person you’ve developed these feelings for seems distant and unapproachable. The simple act of Jen waiting for a responsive text is a well-observed way to show how she feels about this, and make the audience understand the distraction and low-key melancholy that comes from something that had been so uplifting turning into a wall of silence.
Making Jen feel like a human being and not just a quip machine? Giving her relatable experiences and problems? Putting her into down-to-earth situations and having her talk about how they affect her? It’s darn good stuff! Where has this been for the rest of the show?
Of course, we can’t just have that. Jen gets stranded at Blonsky’s retreat sanctuary and ends up trapped in superhero group therapy with a crop of D-listers. They are, naturally, all cartoon characters, like basically every non-Jen player on this show. If that weren’t enough, the humor is still broad. But the routine of these outsized characters making legitimate progress on their mental health grew on me. Granted, Venture Bros. did it better, but there’s genuine comedy from putting ridiculous figures into a grounded, and emotionally fraught scenario, so it becomes easier to warm to as the show goes on.
And god help me, I even dug Jen’s breakthrough. The notion of She-Hulk as this “cooler, more attractive friend” who she can never live up to, when she wants people to like her for her, is an affecting explanation for her state of mind and why this is so hard for her. It’s the most sympathetic Jen has been in the whole show. Her listening to these goofballs’ advice, taking steps to fix the problem, and feeling better afterward is wholesome and real in a way I didn’t expect from this show given what we’ve had so far.
Overall, this is an easy high water mark for She-Hulk’s first season, with the best rendition of Jen we’ve had yet, some quality needle drops and montages, and even some cutely comic scenes. More of this sort of thing, please.
I’m really impressed about this show. Impressed how they manage to make every new episode so much worse than the crap from the week before.
This might just be the worst piece of MCU content I have ever seen.
I like this show but this episode was not good at all. Boring. I’ll chalk it up as a filler and move on
the worst thing about this episode is Jen's place, complete lack of anything showing it's actually lived in by a human. spotless showhome, catalogue setpeice.
other annoyance. if she just hulked out she could have carried her car home with a few hulky jumps.
By far the worst episode so far. hope it gets better
This episode was much better. The therapy scene overstayed it's welcome a bit in my opinion, but I liked the interaction between Tatiana Maslany and Tim Roth. This show needs people like Roth to give back that familiar Marvel feeling.
I kind of enjoyed this episode. But not a very good season overall.
This Betta have daredevil in it
I love introspective character centric episodes (and superhero therapy). it really sold us on Jen and Josh's fling there was of much chemistry that hooked me in. So it's fallout was legit emotional. And this might just be my favourite episode it terms of Tatiana Maslany's performance. She absolutely sells her emotional turmoil and insecurities. You really feel for her here.
And to end it with a needle drop of one of my favourite Dua Lipa songs was just icing on the cake.
What a weird show but I like the characters.
Well,what can i say?This is a filler episode and you cant expect much from a filler episode.
7/10
I started off absolutely hating this episode but somehow straight from the left field by the
end of it I found I really enjoyed it.
Caught me well off guard.
Second favourite one if the season
and my highest scored one.
Sadly it's all down hill from here straight
to the bottom,
With a bang.
wild how the most grounded, actionless episode of this dang show is the best one so far
Although it's certainly a bad episode, it's been pretty fun! There's unfortunately no Daredevil, but there's more Blonsky which was a plus! It felt a little more character-focused, wanting to put a little more spotlight on Jen as a character (take that as you will).
So, to summarise... This episode is bad with some really cringe-worthy writing and just weird characters. But, it's got a handful of decent jokes, it brings back Blonsky, and it focuses more on Jen as a character.
Fuck Josh. Ghosting people is not cool.
How predictable and cliché? :/ also it made me really mad that Jen was forced to forgive that guy who attacked her
This episode was sweet :sparkling_heart:
This one felt a little like Marvel’s answer to Peacemaker. This team of weirdos really grow on you.
This episode has been saved by the last scene. Somehow it put some sense in that (way too long) group therapy session, explaining Josh behaviour. Without it I was just wondering what was the point of the episode.
In any case Jen needs to woman up! Especially in the previous episode. She is Hulk for Christ sake!!
I like this show but this episode was not good at all. Boring. I’ll chalk it up as a filler and move on
literally fell asleep, slogged through the episode.. it was no fun at all
Better than the previous one, better narrated, more interesting
i hate (am jealous of) josh
