To save everyone the time for this abomination of a show (pun intended), this is the episode Daredevil shows up. The only episode worth watching
Wow, a stratospheric episode. Jennifer + Matt :heart:
After a solid first episode the series had a sluggish middle part. A trend that was subverted by the last episode where among other things ghosting is portrayed very well.
Now I'm ready for a finale that promises to be heart-pounding!
Don’t listen to the people saying DD is “ruined” from this episode, apparently they’ve never read the comics OR remember the show (or expect someone to dump all their trauma onto a character they just met in a legal comedy? Some people are really writing these reviews without a single actual critical lens).
This was a fun episode and I had a great time - though one of my biggest criticisms is the overarching plot that they’ve been trying to establish. It has a lot of potential, but the pacing of this storyline has been off for me the entire show. Besides the CGI it’s one of my biggest gripes, and I felt it again towards the end of this episode. There’s only one episode left and I really don’t know that it’s going to get concluded in a way I feel is satisfying, though that’s something I’ll have to wait until the finale to properly review.
Besides that though I had such a great time - it was SO great seeing Matt again and Leapfrog was a funny inclusion. Despite my above reservations I’m excited for the finale and seeing how this is going to go.
Thanks to Daredevil this was a fairy watchable (7/10) episode. Despite that the 4th-wall breaks were still terrible and her deliveries were not funny at all cringey even. As we approach the finale this is just my opinion but as the main character she's been the weak point of the show.
why is every dude bro in this comment section fucking butthurt? it's a funny goofy show, if it's not for you, then don't watch it!!!! matt and jen were everything i could've wished for, this episode was SO GOOD. i love jen with all my heart and she doesn't deserve every shitty thing she's got thrown her way!!!!
They almost managed make Daredevil look bad.
Great episode and easily the best of the Season (though the last 5 minutes were a bit silly). Great to have Daredevil back - Charlie Cox is the best. Hoping that we eventually go back to all red outfit thought. I know Yellow is a pivotal part of Daredevil's history, but I've got a Hot Toys figure to buy and I want all red DD. Yes, She-Hulk went savage but I'm honestly not sure where this show is going and we are one episode from the finale.
Anyone still hating even after such a great episode has an agenda.
JEN AND MATT ARE SO FREAKING CUTE
this show is so good... and apparently so well managed that marketing department gets a bunch of Intelligencia boy to put low rating of this amazing show
Please leave Charlie Cox out of this mess
Better than previous episodes due to Daredevil's involvement, but still not good. This actually made me very nervous for future Daredevil content in the MCU - if the action sequences are gonna be like the ones in this episode, it will not be a good time.
Man, even the music, amazing!
I think this episode was one of the better ones even if you take away Daredevil from it, but what Charlie Cox brings with this character honestly just elevates everything he touches. Seeing him back finally got me so hype and I was eating up every single scene with him. I think this was a great first significant appearance for him in the MCU and they did a good job of keeping him the same but adding just a little bit of levity to fit with the tone of the MCU, and I honestly think it worked great for his character in this context. As someone who is in love with the Daredevil Netflix show, I am beyond hyped to have Charlie Cox back and can not wait until we get more of him. Also when the Daredevil theme started playing I lost it. But now putting the Daredevil stuff aside, this episode still manages to be one of the best of the series and watching the ending scene with She-Hulk FINALLY encountering an actual threat and watching her lose her anger was so cathartic. It’s the crisis and challenge her character has so desperately needed. Although she has been on a sound internal character arc in this show it’s great to see her finally face an outward threat and not be on top of things for once. I just wish this would have happened earlier in the season, since now they have to rush the true villain and conflict into one 30 minute episode and it’s going to be seriously underdeveloped, which has been a major issue for a lot of the MCU Disney+ shows. All in all though, the contained story in this episode was one of the best ones of the show and Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock and Daredevil elevated the entire episode.
How did daredevil throw the stick from the ceiling in the hallway if there’s no vent or hole there lol
Daredevil's in this one. So this is the episode you want to watch from this season.
WTF? Just because a woman does online dating, searching for companionship that doesn't make her a slut. Sure I be pissed if someone had broken my trust like that and publicly embarrassed me like that. But that only makes the idiots who did the deed make look more shady
[7.6/10] What’s this? Two quality episodes of She-Hulk in a row? Our cup runneth over, MCU fans!
What puts “Ribbit and Rip It” over the top is how well Jen Walters and Matt Murdock work together. Jen can be something of a quirky quip machine on this show, so balancing that out with some of Matt’s more sober approach to herodom and more wry humor works well. And Matt can be a little dour and severe (at least in Charlie Cox’s version of him) so balancing him out with Jen’s brightness and willingness to take the piss out of his brooding avenger routine brings out the best in him too.
To be frank, after the diminishing returns of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil in the Netflix Defenders universe, I’m not exactly champing at the bit to see the character headline another series. And after the rocky start (which is an understatement) She-Hulk has had, I’m not over-the-moon at the prospect of more of this show either. But man, after this outing, if Marvel Studios decided to give them a team-up show, I’d be there with bells on.
The pair simply have great chemistry. Yes, that’s true on the romantic side. I wasn’t necessarily expecting them to be paired up like that, but the two have a good vibe. Matt’s low-key sense of humor and willing to nudge Jen a bit, and Jen’s spritely sarcasm and ability to see through the “noble hero” routine make them a good pairing. The actors play well off one another, to the point that when they seal the deal despite having met fairly recently, it plays like the product of sparks coming to the fore rather than narrative fiat. Not for nothing, this episode has the two of them spending a lot of time together, which helps make that romantic attraction seem legitimate and earned.
But even if they didn’t want to go down the romantic route, the two make sense together in a strange way because of their contrasts. Daredevil has a secret identity and so is concerned about privacy, whereas She-Hulk is, whether she likes it or not, a public figure, so her concerns are different. Jen is new to the heroing business and looks at it skeptically, whereas Daredevil is a true believer who sees the good they can do, while having enough experience to be worried about the collateral damage. She-Hulk has major powers, whereas Daredevil is basically a normie with some heightened sentence and good martial arts training, which changes their approach and mentality when it comes to bad guy problem-solving.
Those differences make their back-and-forths really compelling! They have different philosophies on just about everything here, but both make good points when they’re debating or tweaking one another, whether in the courtroom, at the bar, or in the field. The differences between them are legitimate and rooted in their distinct experiences, which makes the push-and-pull seem honest and their mutual affections despite those differences that much more impactful. Hell, just seeing Jen rib Daredevil about his whole routine is a lot of fun for someone like me who watched and enjoyed the Netflix series, but snarked a little bit over the same stuff.
Speaking of which, my favorite moment in the whole episode comes when it’s time to infiltrate the bad guy’s lair. Daredevil sneaks in, does some of his usual stealth and intimidation. It looks like it’s time for the visual trademark of those Defenders-verse series -- a dimly-lit, hard-hitting hallway fight! And then...Jen just short-circuits the whole thing by coming in and doing one big She-Hulk Smash.
It’s delightful! The show finds clever and funny ways like these to mix the two heroes’ vibes, and the interplay is a ton of fun. Even a well-considered step like She-Hulk using her big clap to mess with Daredevil’s equilibrium and ability to use his super-hearing makes for a sharp choice that reveals an understanding of both characters. The two together are dynamite, and I hope the MCU finds more excuses to pair them up in the future.
Of course, it can’t all be gold. Basically everyone who isn’t Jen or Matt in this one is annoying. I continue to find Luke, the tailor, to be a dumb, stock fashion guru type and the less of him the better. But even he’s topped in annoyance factor by LeapFrog. You can get what the show is going for with him, as a privileged wannabe who puts Jen in an awkward and irksome position, but he’s just a pain to spend time with and not really funny either. The whole bit of Jen having to sue Luke on Leapfrog’s behalf to keep her boss happy while pissing off her tailor is too cheesy and sitcom-y for my tastes.
Despite the unnecessary lampshading, I really dig the ending (or post-story set piece, if you will) at the gala. There’s something powerful about the idea that a crew of jerks does something terrible to a woman (like the outsized equivalent of revenge porn), she reacts in an extreme but understandable way, and then she’s received as the difficult or bad one for not just suffering such a violation with impeccable grace. Jen is incredibly sympathetic here, and the struggle not to give into understandable feelings of anger that play into the hands of people already trying to tear down her image is the most compelling bind the show’s put her in yet.
After such a rough start, I can’t confidently say that She-Hulk has turned the corner. But these past two episodes have added such depth to the character and found more compelling directions to take her story than anything we’ve seen to date. Color me unexpectedly hopeful heading into the season finale.
Great episode. Tat amazing as ever. Chemistry for DAYS with DD. And we got an attack on a superhero in a totally new way. Hulk rage worthy indeed!
Cool episode. I didn't really like the fact they hook up so fast but the chemistry between the two actors is there. The fourth wall breaking moment are really hit or miss and I think they're just doing too much of them.
They. Omg. They made him the dang butt of a joke. He was a cartoon character. Basically Clooney in Batman & Robin.
I don't care if it's comic accurate, that doesn't make him good. I just finished the third Daredevil season (an almost perfect season of TV)....and then Mr. Looney Tunes here.
“You ever destroyed a parking lot before?”
“Oh crap. I’ll leave a note.”
“I can hear their heartbeat.”
“Oh you can hear their heartbeats? That’s a little far fetched.”
“I can hear yours too. it’s going a little fast :smirk:”
“What? No! I’m healthy!”
“Uhuh :smirk:”
Gosh I love them xD
This dare devil walk of shame was so great
6.5/10
Would have been a 7.5
But that forth wall break at the end is just so forced and Jen thinks she's so cool doing it, just takes me straight out of the story and I use the
word story very very loosely.
DD was cool when it was him and
not this shows crappy cgi.
Can't wait for him to be back in his own show.
I shouldn't have found DD's walk of shame so funny, but I did. And on a more serious note, Jen really isn't a very good lawyer if she set foot in court without having done the basic homework that would have told her about her client's fuel choices. That's just pure incompetence. Of course, she can always just break the fourth wall again and blame some bad writers...
The best thing about this is that is only one horrible episode left. Yay!
This is both the best and worst thing I’ve ever seen
I am ashamed that it's the case but the episode I probably like the most is the one with some Marvel action.
I didn't even like the golden Daredevil outfit. But the banter was nice and there was actually something going on for once and some suspense. It even somehow worked that everything was comedic.
The best episode of the season by far, let's hope that the next one, the end of the season, maintains the level, although I see it difficult because of how the season is going. That hall fight
So nice to see the lighter side of Daredevil get celebrated by the same actor who breathed life into the role. I wonder how many Hulks will exist after the finale…
That was a great episode. Nice! Unfortunately for she hulk, was it great only because daredevil was in it? Take him out of the equation it is no longer great, but still a good episode. I thought it was funny. Sidebar: I miss daredevil tv show.
A backdoor pilot to Daredevil: Born Again isn't exactly what I was expecting, especially from the MCU. However, this episode delivers on being, well, an episode, while continuing to arc Jennifer's character AND having an interesting plot. So many things are done right here, particularly fight scenes and courtroom scenes, that make it even more baffling that the previous episodes were so bad. Even the final scenes, which don't have Matt Murdock in them, are pretty well done and have an interesting twist.
I will say that the acting from the side guest character feels weak, he overacted in a way I feel like didn't match the script he delivered.
I think this episode was the best of all series (but still pretty mid) just bc we get to see more Daredevil than She-Hulk. Comedy aspect was still cringe, Matt and Jen fucking was awful and didn't even make sense. Most interesting points of this episode were that where we got to saw Daredevil alone without She-Hulk, that was very good, but unfortunately that was like 2 or 1 scene. And most satisfying scene was that gala at the end when they hacked Jen phone and showed everyone who she really is, o and they called her a slut, that was pretty good too, I had a good laugh at that scene.
Though Daredevil acknowledged it, why was She Hulk so okay with property damage? That too not collateral one, she willingly causes so much damage. She is not a rage monster like Hulk, she makes conscious decision. Is it because this her first time? Why innocents suffer?
An absolute treasure of a team-up, well worth the wait and still full of surprises.
Amazing!
Apart from the scenes with daredevil which I adored, Jen going mad and damage control showing up, this is the plot I root for on a super hero show, not some personal growth issues at a wedding...
All my apologies to Elektra Natchios but I've fully been converted to the church of matt/jen. I love this episode so much it feels EXACTlY like a one-shot crossover and Matt and jen's chemistry was absolute perfection.
Okay, I enjoyed Daredevil here definitely here but the ending was wack. Really, Intelligencia? This is what you come up with? The series is kinda wack when it tries to be serious like this.
Solid episode, but I never wanna see Charlie Cox’s Daredevil CGI’d like that ever again.
this would be an 8, maybe a 9, if not for that fourth wall break scene at the end of the episode
Yeah, not a fan of the series, but this episode would have been a 9 if they just cut out that 4th wall scene and let things develop on their own.
Daredevil is easily the best thing about this show. And it's not even close.
Man, I know I joked about Disneyfying the Netflix characters for kids but I didn't actually expect it. This is dire
i liked this episode so much :( i can't believe the finale is next week
It's great to have Netflix's Daredevil apart of the MCU now.
A smiling Matt Murdock is just...unsetting
OK, Disney, the fan service was successful.
Hey at least this time they RECOGNIZED how awkward the pacing was. It's taken us a while to get there but the backhalf is much better than the front half. Especially since they've completely given up on the "it's a legal show" aspect.
calling it already, this is going to be the Daredevil episode

turns out adding the best-written, most intriguing character in the mcu to the worst-written, dullest product in the mcu does not fix your product's endless list of problems.
all four of these points go to charlie cox. i think this is what superhero fatigue feels like.
