I hate this so much. Jenn in the comics was a fun character, in human form she was shy, lacked self confidence and was easily scared, but also a very loving and compassionate person who always offered a shoulder for Bruce to lean on when he needed it. Bruce HATED the fact he had to turn Jen into a Hulk to save her but Jen was totally cool with it. Becoming She-Hulk gave her self confidence, made her feel good about her self and brought out the best in her, she outright thanked Bruce for it, and felt guilty she had more control over it then Bruce did. She knew what he was suffering through and felt bad she got it easy. This Jen is litterally none of those things. She's an arrogant, petty, narcissitic misandrist who only seems to care about herself and her problems. I can't imagine Bruce and her getting along for even a couple of seconds, let alone for her giving enough of a shit about Bruce to help him when needed. I hate this version of Jen, I hate this show and I hate all the people who made it.

20:12 And ironically Bruce Banner saved a woman from being catcalled by violent men in his first movie. He stopped a woman from being sexually harassed even though it drew attention to himself while he was undercover. If any man can empathize with the dangers women are exposed to, it's Bruce Banner. Also in the three episodes of She Hul I've seen so far, She-hulk has done almost nothing for other women.

" Have you ever read She Hulk comic? " - No. " Have you ever watched The Incredible Hulk movie ? " - No. " Congratulations... you're hired as a writer for She Hulk "

I miss the days when Hulk was allowed to be written well and have great stories, Hell the comics to this day have hardly even been adapted on screen unlike pretty much everyone else in the MCU. She Hulk from the comics was very likeable, fun and written well by John Burn and Chris Clairmont. Every time we see Hulk on screen now, he barely gets any development and even when he does it's immediately overlooked and forgotten about. I get that Marvel technically can't make a full-fledged solo Hulk movie but come on by now we could've had a Series, or something dive deep into the story and rich lor of this character "ON SCREEN" we should at the very least get to see maybe flashbacks of Bruce and Hulk's life that led up to his appearances in the Avengers team ups, fun fact a lot of the early phases were gonna adapt his Peter David era stuff like Gray Hulk and Devil Hulk bur for some reason or another whether it be Marvel, Disney or the directors and writers Hulk never got to be fully realized on screen the way the other heroes were even within the constraints of the team ups. I wish we had someone at Marvel who loved the comics as much as the fans write for these characters but even though we may see a World War Hulk type story happen after this show (I doubt we will however) I hold very little confidence that it'll be even good let alone "Incredible" This character deserves justice

Someone brought up an interesting fact. Jen constantly talks about how she disapproves of men telling her what to do in her own area of expertise but rams on to hulk, the literal definition of anger, that she is better than Hulk and more experienced with anger.

This reminds me of how disappointed I was that Captain Marvel never had a moment of realization that she was partly responsible for the oppression and/or destruction of a number of alien civilizations in the border of the Kree Emporium. I watch superhero stories to see heroics, responsibility, and self-sacrifice, and it's discouraging how little we see of it in the 'strong female' trope.

As a fan of both Hulk and She-Hulk this is beyond disappointing. Jen is nothing and I mean nothing like her comic book counterpart. I understand taking a few liberties but this changes core personality traits. The first and most important is Jen absolutely loves being a Hulk. Being She-Hulk let's her be someone she never thought she could be. She's strong, confident, sexy, witty just to name a few. They got what they wanted when they said they wanted this to be a comedy cause two episodes in and this series is a joke.

problem: she doesn't want to be the she-hulk, want to live the normal life. also, she can control the transition. solution: just don't turn into she-hulk, live your normal life. but no, she wanted to whine, at the same time wanted to enjoy the power.

The worst part is that many people on twitter actually agreed that being chased by a country, attemting to suicide and other shit bruce went through is actually easier than being a woman

Such a dislikable main character but if you criticize it you are a misogynist

These “writers” never read any She-Hulk comics! In fact, it was an original IP Lawyer series but the writers decided to convert it into a She-Hulk series instead (without knowing the source material)!

Man I'm loving all the Hulk love you're showing. I've basically given up on the MCU, and the pussification of Hulk was the 1st thing that started my disinterest. He's my favorite comic book character of all time, I even have a horribly ugly giant Hulk tatt on my back that I got as a kid, let my drunk buddy use me as practice because I was so in love with the idea of a Hulk tattoo. I use to think that the problem in the MCU, was that Hulk had been handed to people who didnt understand him. Now it's fairly obvious that the issue is they hate him, They hate his fans, And they are going out of the way to ruin the character. I'm hearing a lot of WWHulk buzz , I don't understand how they can do a movie that has even 1/4th of the spirit of WWH when they have made him a Nursemaid. You can't have World War Hulk without The Monster. Marvel/Disney has Killed the monster.

These writers are ruining The Hulk and She-Hulk. If they don't care about the characters they're writing for, If they're using these characters and stories as a selfish therapeutic experiment for themselves, completely disrespecting the fans, than they shouldn't be writing in the first place.

Remember when Jenn was a fun, realistic, and overall a pleasant character in the comics? Maybe not everyone's favorite but was always decent when she appeared. Bruce saved her life with the blood he had because if not she would've died and he hated himself for a long time because of it. She was grateful and thankful for him saving her and both had a great bond and teamwork.

Thank you for this. I've been saying these exact same thing about the idiocy of that first episode and how it completely contradicts the 2008 Hulk movie. I was surprised more RU-vid reviewers and journalist reviews didnt catch onto this enormous continuity error plothole which compltely retconned Bruce's origin. The 2008 movie went through a lot of strides to try to make the science of the Hulk make sense. The Gamma Pulse was the name of the MRI-Like machines Bruce aimed at his head. Dr. Stern used the term "amygdala" which is the part of the grey matter of the brain that controls fear and emotions and stores repressed memories. This is important because we know Bruce has this from his backstory. Dr. Stern also mentioned the term 'primer'. In the original script ; they went further and used the terms "Myostatin Protein primer" and "Uranium" and "radiation mitigation" These are important because Myostatin controls skeletal muscle growth. Remove that function and the muscle growth grows out of control (like those steroid looking cows you see in pictures) Uranium poisoning is something soldiers often went through. So Betty and Bruce were working on an antibody for General Ross (or at least they were lied to) to create a resistance to radiation sickness and Uranium has gamma rays in it; hence why Bruce used the Gamma Pulse machine on himself because he trusted the work Betty and he did to test it on himself. So there was a lot of scientific research done in order for the plot to make sense and this stupid ass She-Hulk writer just throws all of that out of the window, practically calling Bruce and Jen Mutants now, and citing "the bathroom scene" as the most important scene of the episode. A scene she said she fought to keep in, A writer who admitted she's not that adept at writing a lawyer show. A writer who tried to say she read the John Byrne She-Hulk comics yet misquoted them in an interview. A writer who admitted she was rejected 3 times before by Marvel before she got hired, and said she was gonna keep at it even if she would have to 'burn their offices down' in the process. A writer who in interviews bragged how she can bully Kevin Feige into what she wants. Are you fucking kidding me with this dumb bitch.

Can you imagine if Jen met Nat. Nat reflecting on her traumatic backstory and all her friends she’s lost. Then Jen cuts her off to tell her she understands that trauma coz she’s been cat called on the street.

In the comics Jen is in an accident (or attacked I forget) and she lost a lot of blood and she was in danger because she was with Bruce/Hulk and Banner in order to save his cuz life he reluctantly gives her a blood trans to save her …. Because the bloodline and matching blood type she finds herself becoming SHEHULK she’s in more control of her alter and not as powerful considering it was a transfusion not an explosion of Gama …. It’s also why she becomes attractive outgoing charming instead of a Monster …..

11:59 It's extra stupid when as we saw in the Incredible Hulk a simple, nonlethal shock, was enough to trigger a Hulk transformation. The writers litterally made the Hulk look like an idiot for the sake of a gag.

Hulk has to put up with this Jen, that alone is a bigger feat than any anger management Jen had to do in her entire life.

These writers only care about pushing 3rd Wave Feminism,not telling a Hulk story.

You should have more views given the quality of these videos! I would love to hear you analyze the quality of the mcu movies/shows going forward.

The thing is I'm pretty sure it's normal for Jen to be completely conscious in her Hulk form from the get go. I think Blonsky was also conscious as the Abomination, in fact that's one of the reasons it makes sense to put him in prison and keep him there. Because he uses his Abomination form as a weapon, and commited actual murders doing so since he was legitimately conscious and aware of what he was doing. Which gets ruined in the show anyway lol. Nonetheless Jen's mind isn't fractured like Bruce's is since she doesn't have a multiple identities in her head. That doesn't mean her journey can't be interesting, because what I remember from my childhood. Jen as a human wasn't confident, was kind of shy and honestly just another person in the background. Her Hulk form gave her a ton of confidence, she was THE She Hulk. It paints this massive contrast between two versions of Jen but what's interesting is that she isn't actually 2 different people in the same mind like with Bruce. She doesn't have any disorders she just changes her personality because her Hulk form changes her looks. The show however does that no justice, she's just perfect from the get go and a massive narcissist that's overconfident in herself even before she gets her Hulk form...

Looks like someone really likes and understand Hulk character. This channel needs more attention and views because content and video quality is really good. But I have few points to critique (I agree with most that was said in the video): 1) don't think gamma radiation is needed to create another Hulk... maybe in the world of MCU but She-Hulk in the comics got her powers after transfusion from Bruce 2) car crash was not Jen's fault. There was clear road without any turns in front of her and that space ship appeared out of nowhere. I know driver should pay attention to road all the time but there was no indication of any danger.

RIP World war hulk it’s going to be hard for someone to fix these mistakes in a new hulk movie

I would love to hear you review the pilot episode of the Incredible Hulk from 1978. I think it's far superior in writing, tone, music and emotional depth than any later version. The only thing I feel it lacks are the effects. So if you haven't seen it, maybe you get pleasantly surprised. If you hate it, I would love to hear your intricate answer for that too. Thank you for making great content.

That "BITCH, the court room is destroyed." made me crack up laughing. 😂

I just hate that they nerf Hulk to high hell and make him look weak when that is not the case. His power is literally the angrier he gets the stronger he gets and they just don't follow that rule at all.

I disagree on one point with you in that the writers didn't read about Hulk or She-Hulk's past they simply don't give a sh*t. These writers are squatting and releasing all their daddy and boyfriend issues on to Marvel as well as DC.

"Because I'm better than you?" "It's basically different." "In a better way." Where have I heard this malicious comic book hatred dialogue before? Ah yes: "[The Batsuit] is literal perfection." "It will be. When it fits a woman." These smug female "characters" honestly sound more like supervillains than heroes.

It feels kinda insulting to Hulk and to the fans when this new character is shown to be better than our Hulk without any practice or development.

MCU writers seem to pull from comics instead of established MCU canon. It was in the comics that Gamma radiation alone caused Bruce to become the Hulk, and Jen became She-Hulk due to a a blood transfusion from Bruce.

It’s sad cause she hulk in comics is actually cool and different I don’t even get this character 🤷🏾‍♂️

6:28-- I agree with the video 100%. And I agree the She Hulk show has contrivances. But the source material does establish that Banner has a biological difference that allows him to HULK whereas other don't. In the comics, his Father exposed Banner to Gamma and physical abuse as a young boy. So that established Banner's tolerance to Gamma AND his repressed personality. In the TV show, Banner thinks his DNA is lacking something his test subjects had. But when he tests himself, he actually has the most. But then he discovered they had Hulk like incidents when the Sun was emitting high Gamma, but he didn't. So his logic is to expose himself to Gamma directly. It didn't give him permanent strength, but it did give him that ability after bouts of anger.

I agree with everything you said, except the control part, because Hulk (the real) is actually a second personality from Bruce , so I thin she wouldn't have this issue

I can't wait for his thoughts on episode 3 oh boy...

this first episode was pretty much just pandering to feminists. you see it with most of their talking points. Jens stronger than hulk as you pointed out, even though she's smaller and got less of the resources, like you said. much like feminists say. the comparison of being cat called to Bruce trying to commit suicide is another common theme among modern feminism. that's why the directing makes it seem as though she's right. albeit, it's entertaining to watch without thinking, but this kind of stuff is getting rather old.

Maybe the gamma resistant serum was the reason he has 2 personalities and the large amount of direct gamma is the reason that he gets super big. I also believe that if Emil didn’t get that large dose of game but just Bruce’s blood, he would have just gotten stronger but not larger. This may not be true but this is how I am viewing the situation to create a cannon explanation

I think Bruce (?) referring to himself as "Smart Hulk" was supposed to be a reference to Iron Man 1 because as Tony said while holding a newspaper before saying "I am Iron Man": _"That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it."_ Tony never gave himself the name Iron Man but it was what the press was referring to him as. So presumably the press used the term Smart Hulk and he never changed it.

I'd say it seems more like the writers just blatantly hate men, not specifically the hulk

A bit late to this, but I wanted to let you know that I love your character/oc design a lot! Reminds me of Eldritch gods/beings.

I knew that it was bad, but i didn't think this far. Watching this horrid show i didn't even think about the continuity errors and blatant disregard of what has already been established in the MCU. I watched the show suspending my disbelief (and even THEN it was atrocious), but this deep dive into episode 1 of She-Hulk is making me lose all hope in the MCU and its writers. How dare they do Hulk dirty like this. This is a great quality video btw. 👌🏻👏🏻 Also side note: In the previous movies, they never called him "Hulk" once? I thought i heard Cap say in an Avengers movie "and Hulk.... Smash". I know they called Hulk "the other guy", but still... Not once? Maybe it's a Mandela Effect thing.

Watched your Hulk in Infinity War and Endgame hindsight review and this. Definitely subbing.

We just don’t know what it’s like to be annoyed, condescended, judged or threatened like she does. /s Good video, and thank you for using those examples from the first MCU Hulk movie.

This is one of the most un-likeable protagonist I’ve ever seen. Yet, at the same time, you can tell they were trying to create a ‘strong independent wahmen’. But it backfired in every single way. It’s amazing, really

hulk after endgame has been nothing more than a punching bag. comedic punchline at that.

7:26 this sound like crap... the Hulk has an insane healing factor- his arm should have been healed a long time ago..

Matches the comics perfectly, just 2 generations later. Can't exactly have a modern woman going crazy over disco..... Jen does NOT need gamma radiation. In the comics she got a blood transfusion from Bruce because they both have a super rare blood type and she was shot outside the courthouse. That's WHY she isn't "insane hulk" like bruce was. Very little radiation in her. You really should look up the original origin before you try and criticize this one.

Great critique. The writers seemed to have no knowledge of or care about the hulk and simply wanted to write a show with a key message of female victimhood and superiority to men. I imagine they would insert these messages into whatever they were writing, regardless of whether it made sense for the characters or show.

After seeing what they turned hulk into I’m glad Edward Norton bailed

Through all of this I still can't get over how the writers overlooked something so simple as Hulk can heal better than any human. Choosing to keep Bruce as a human to heal faster is one of the worst writing mechanics I've ever seen.

Bro remember me when you get famous I love your videos and you're one of the very few people who view TIH like I do. I also love when it cuts away to your character and shows your face of how you feel about what you're talking about. Keep up the good work !

This is why to me, phase 4 is not canon to the MCU at all The complete bastardisation of the hulk here and just everyone else in phase 4 is just terrible

I'm gonna say it...STOP LETTING MIDDLE AGED WOMEN DIRECT ENTERTAINMENT MEANT FOR KIDS AND TEENS!!!!!!!!!!!

2003 Hulk examined Bruce's biology and how his gamma radiation came from his experimenting on himself.

Remember that Jen was in the car,obviously Bruce is not going to kill his cousin.

Love this video, great points throughout it all, glad youre getitng more and more subs

17:52 Maybe the writers confused the difference between being drunk and getting a hangover when writing that line... being able to get as drunk as you want without waking up with a hangover would be a benefit (no idea when Banner worked that out though because if I were in his position I'd never drink alcohol again regardless of whether I was standard Hulk or 'Smart' Hulk).

Here before 1k subs. Great content man.

Whenever I see that yoga dialogue a part of my soul dies out of how stupid and unlikable it is.

Everyone likes Norton as Hulk but I think Eric Bana's Hulk was the Hulk we needed in the MCU.

I like how you show clips from The Incredible Hulk, one of the few or the only actually real movie from the mcu.

*_I realized something. Why didn't Jen, after telling the "ladies" that she doesn't need help, "hulk out", because she CLEARLY told them "no" but they persisted. Shouldn't THAT be seen as a "triggering event"? After all.. She flipped out on GUYS WHO DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH HER BUT THE FEMALES IN THE BATHROOM DID TOUCH HER._* 🤨 *_I already know. It's BECAUSE they're FEMALES who came into physical contact with her AFTER SHE SAID "NO"._* 🙄😒

bro i haven’t even seen episode one but man u convinced me not to what have they done to hulk 😔

This is the type of sh*t you gotta expect when you have one of the most mainstream corporations making the content.

I'm glad your videos are getting more views bro. Quality content here👌

4:10 "How considerate of them to respect the abuser's identity." This is disturbingly on-point, if Chris-chan getting arrested taught me anything.

I think you missed the part when Jennifer Walters term sushi hot and Bruce asked her hey can you control yourself and she said yes why wouldn’t I saw from the jump with those guys were approaching her I think it was a scare tactic not necessarily going to kill them

egotistical women up their own bottoms. Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk isn't much better. I bet he wears pink, frilly nickers and does the washing and ironing. How is this kind of man ever going to know how to smash? He might be able to get juice out of an orange or hurt his arm in the process.

Being that the MCU Hulk is a soft-reboot of the 2003 Ang Lee Hulk, you can add a manipulative and abusive father and overall traumatic childhood, not to mention the death of his mother at a young age to his long list of life-long hardships. Same with the comics.

I want to point out the reason why hulk might have not stopped the car was not the fact he wasn’t strong enough in my opinion he was holding back he does this throughout the episode (as god awful as it is) as he doesn’t want to hurt Jen

One of the problems, I think, is that they're pulling from Jenn's comic origin without fully acknowledging Hulk's MCU origin. Further complicated by his inconsistent portrayal across the MCU. It's true that in the comics Jenn gets his blood and is just She-Hulk from then on and she demonstrably doesn't suffer from the same crises as Banner. Usually, comics are fucking stupid so it's never a 100% thing. The problem is that clashes with what's been presented in the MCU and IF they're drawing more heavily from the comics it makes her look even worse as a family member, because the entire reason comic Bruce is ballistic goes back to things like abuse and PTSD finally given true manifestation.

How ironic of them to make a woman not pay attention when driving then end up crashing🤣

If the writers were *actually* clever they'd have had Hulk activate the saw blades and *claim* he can't shut it down while showing his hand on an emergency shut off button

Isn't Jen a lawyer? Cause if thats the case then she would want to help people. 💀💀

Dan Slott endorsing the MCU She-Hulk doesn't do any favours. It implies that Jen is just as rude and obnoxious in the comics.

There are no competent writers in the MCU anymore, just people who know people and get work. Say what you want about Whedon, but he understood the characters.

I didn't think anyone needed to hear this but I guess I was wrong. I keep hearing guy after guy reviewing this show incredulous at a group of men "just talking" to Jen as intimidating or that "cat calling" is not a big deal (that term is a very broad umbrella term which doesn't help it sound serious at all). I have found that guy friends of mine who find these things to ve exaggerated think that they wouldnt rake it to such a level and can't quite grasp why anyone would so assumes most don't. Firstly I don't always think the people who are scaring the woman are doing it intentionally. secondly those same people also do not hear no. No matter how many ways you say it. And depending on your ability to escape physically from the area that better be a polite way. I was homeless for a sgoet while in 2017 because my ex-husband is trash and so I didn't have any escape route all the time. So I always tried to be as nice as I could be while asking to be left be. It mattered to none if them I was homeless. They'd just turn thar into a straight up proposition. "Oh well if you suck it you can sleep at my place just for tonight" oh thanks but no thanks 🤢 I got every reaction from literally being punched in the mouth for being so "ungrateful" whatever that means to having an unrequested penis whipped out at me. Minimum of 3 a week just... I'd decline some advance, then be questioned on why not. No response was sufficient, not ever. Then a rebuttal of either being physically attacked or having a penis waved in my face would be the very next step. More than 1 guy forcefully put my hands on himself. The way they saw it was I would've left if I wasn't into it. Nevermind it being at the corner store or just straight up the side of the road or that I straight up had no where to leave to. Many of them had guns n knives on thier belts. Hard to miss when being flashed. Anyways my rambling point is I understand how absurd it must seem to a logical person who has never experienced or doesn't engage in these things but it's unending from the 2nd you see the light of day till you get away. It's never 1 person, it's like a deluge of comments till 1 of them gets brave enough to go further than holler at you at a distance and approaches you. Then the same thing its fine till 1 gets enough to whip it out or hit you etc. Don't get me wrong many guys did none of these things and were legit friends to me and without them i would've never been able to even take a nap without waking up dead. I'm just saying it's great that it's lost on you how/why these things are scary or that they happen as frequent as portrayed or it escslating violently is "rare" most likely means you don't act this. Don't get me wrong that's fantastic. But I wish ppl would ask themselves how we got here instead of eye rolling away these topics. It's like on top of all of that stuff we try to speak up to the few men who aren't creeps and their gaslighting us that we're over reacting. If we were over reacting I don't think it'd be such a common shared expierence. If the people who dislike hearing about it all co-operated to make these actions unacceptable then we could stop bringing it up all the time. We can't move forward untill things change and unfortunately from my POV we're only moving backwards. I don't want the same old tired politics crammed into my comics anymore than the next person but its lazy writing cakewalk when it's so pervasive that they know every woman alive can relate and their not wrong on that account.. It's very sad. I have enjoyed watching some of your videos today abd agree with a lot of what you said about a lot if things. It's just every review I've seen on this episode the same thing geta brought up about the bar guys and what jen says yo Bruce about being scared and angry all the time. Every time the response was disbelief. I just am in awe at the very different world yoy guys must live in cuz I didn't know that the difference was aw stark as it clearly must be. 🧡🦇

They could've said that Bruce needed some Vibranium in order for it to actually be worth using, cause without it it would've just turned her into a walking Gamma bomb. The hulk transformation metabolizes Gamma and Vibranium's primary use is modulating and manipulating energies, so without the vibranium, which he can't get a hold of more of right now, she would emit the gamma that would normally be metabolized to power her hulk form instead.

I swear the writers want us to HATE Jen. There is literally no other explanation I can think of. She has no likable or redeemable qualities whatsoever. I get angry the more I watch. And I’m a woman. I truly don’t know who this show was made for.

The MCU has hated the Hulk since Thor Ragnarock. She Hulk is further urinating on the Hulk’s MCU character.

Dude your channel is insanely underrated 🥺

Him calling him self smart hulk it's like Steve Rogers calling him self strong Steve instead of captain América

Rewatching this back through your lens the hints that this was a show was there from the start. So Jen going to the writer's room was their plan from the start of the show which is really odd to me.

Has anyone seen The Hulk destroy a building lately? Anyone? Nerfed!!!

20:59 I cannot agree with this sentiment since Jen transforms into her Hulk form while she's finishing up her ranting, which implies that she's not nearly as good at controlling her anger as she lets on and that she shouldn't dismiss everything Bruce is saying. I don't know why so many reviews on RU-vid keep omitting the end of that rant as it's kind of important to the overall narrative.

When she fell through the cliff, a normal human would panic immediately and try to keep balance, or scream... ...But she lifts the middle finger instead, as if she was already incredibly used to falling said heights.

7:45 Good night. Ruffalo really phoned in that performance.

This is easily one of the best videos someone has made on this series. No melt downs, no woke accusations, and all the facts are put succinctly and professionally. For this, I thank you.

Hulk was called smart hulk, toy biz action figures- mid 1990s

Of her claps are so loud that it hurt hulks ears then it's going to destroy her ears. as her hands are way closer to her ears than his ears.

I grew up with marvel and hulk was my favorite character as a kid it's sad to see what they've done to him.

Another quality video lad

This assessment is spot on. Well done.

25:28 which is comic accurate. The lady in this scene is Titania, who is even weaker than spider-man, so that's at least a good detail from the show.

Great review, the best I’ve seen so far.

i wish that there will be a some villan axident etc. that splits bruce and hulk into two seperative beings

25:27 super bimbo 😂 you’re goated bro

Ima go back to rewatch, but was black widow singing a lullaby?... I remember her saying the sun's getting low big buy but that's about it

11:48 One small thing, he very easily could have said that just to make her freak out and transform.
