I thought it was great. Better than some of the 2-3 hour movies they've been chopping up in to 6 parts.

Personally I thought it was shocking! Not for me at all. Never liked half hulk over hulk smash anyway and having her coming in with that weak origin story and than just instantly learning everything he hulk has learnt over years just no.

She didn't instantly learn everything Bruce had done. She has been learning about hers and others emotions for 20+ years, which is why she was ahead of Bruce as he has only recently begun. It's meta commentary on men vs women.

Worth noting as well that Hulk is the only gamma powered dude who goes savage half the time - depending on who is writing the Hulk, the only reason he has two (or however many it is atm) different personalities is because he has deep seated mental health issues in the first place. She Hulk, Doc Samson, Rick Jones etc never have that issue.

Yeah I can't see them ever going into it in the MCU because Disney but Banner has Disassociative Identity Disorder.

I really enjoyed She-Hulk - had a good pace to it, humour was on point, and it shows lots of promise for where it could take Tatiana and any returning characters (although I'm not sure if we're going to get much more Bruce?)

Also love that it's causing the misogynists to have another meltdown online because a woman dares to be a central part of something, although one day it would be great if that didn't happen

Thanks for that. Still wasn’t my cup of tea though. Will still watch it and hope it changes my mind.

True, it's more the cause of it with Hulk that's the problem. Banner and his mother were abused by his father and the father ended up killing his mother.

Breaks the bed but can sit on a normal chair just fine!

Just started episode, I think i’m going to treat this as a 90’s cheesy comedy lawyer show.

Agents of shield S3. 8/10

I dont think it was quite as good as S2. A bit of a lull in the 3rd quarter. But still really good. Still very fast paced with lots of threads and twists that keeps it interesting. Ive watch S4E1 and this does look as though its building to something already. Im hoping Ward returns in a 4th incarnation as some kind of a hippy pacifist.

Enjoyed Episode 2 but it's very short and snappy isn't it? The slow pace of the weekly rollout is abit annoying.

Was amazed when it over looking at progress bar. 23min and it's done. 7 minutes of credits left (and then there's the recap too)

I remember that really annoying me with Wandavision. Mainly because I was enjoying it so much that seeing that there was 1/3rd of the file running time left and it was already over really irritated me. I wanted more Elizabeth Olson!

I really didn’t like the opener to she hulk. The 4th wall breaking was random and seemingly out of nowhere. The Mary Sue element of her instantly being better than Bruce at everything. It’s not the female empowerment that annoys me but the fact Hollywood always takes the easy route of showing it at the expense of the male characters. It’s seemingly quicker and easier to short cut character development by just showing them better than an established male character.

They made Hulk look like a chump to get she hulk over. And what the hell was going on with the jeep? He was trying to stop it and she accelerated and he was sent flying? The hulk who could smash giant flying Alien fish things out of the air was sent flying by a car?
