SHE HULK Ep. 2 Review | A Comedy With NO JOKES! 

Why the hell did Titania try to murder the jury of a case she had nothing to do with if she was just running away from traffic court?!

In the comics: Jennifer loves being in form She-Hulk due to her being shy and awkward as Jennifer Walters BUT when she stays and She Hulk form she is confident, cool, flirtatious, and funny. In the show: Jennifer hates being She-Hulk and her personality doesn't change all that much when she turns into She-Hulk.

in the original comics Jen had to be let go from her firm because lawyers started using her status as a superhero to get cases retried claiming that she would influence the jury just like here, which is where they got it from. There are, however, a couple of things they missed. 1.In that instance Jen was already a long-established hero and Avenger. She was world famous and it made sense that she would have massive influence over people. Here she's someone with ten seconds of fame. 2.Jen was in a private practice, not the DA's office which is a very different thing and could not ever just fire someone unless she actually did something wrong. Firing her for the reasons they do here would be discrimination and would get the city sued VERY quickly. They are all lawyers, they should know this. 3. If they were really worried about Jen influencing the juries they could simply move her to other duties. It's not like a DA has to be the lead counsel in court cases. 4. Jen was already an established DA with a proven record, she could have easily just started her own practice like in the comics. Especially with her newfound celebrity. She would have clients lining up. But that would require her to be less of a victim and act like she had agency and women can't do that so.... 5.There is no way her boss would just come up to her and fire her in a bar. He would call her into his office and speak to her directly. Again, this is a suit just waiting to happen. 6. It is completely asinine to think that nobody else would want to hire Jen. Especially in a place like California with all of their celebrity clients. There should be at least a dozen high-profile firms chomping at the bit to poach her. Now, as for the new job Jen is at.... 1. There is no such thing as a "waiver" to waive away the conflict of interest. That's idiotic. 2.It is also absurd that her boss would even want her on the Abominations case anyways. Conflict of interest is a very serious thing in the legal world. The fact that he tries to put someone with such a strong and public connection to Abomination on his case and then attempts to strong arm Jen into taking it anyway violates all kinds of rules and ethics. Not to mention opens him up to legal action from Jen. And I'm sure someone who is an actual lawyer could point out a lot more flaws than just these. This show is stupid. These people are stupid.

A Comedy with no jokes isn’t a Comedy, its a TRAGEDY

These writers don’t care about story structure, comedy, or actual character development. They just care about their slice of life laundry days and hating on men. They have no idea how to actually tell a story. I heard episode 2 was originally the pilot till they were told an origin episode needed to be done. 🤷🏻‍♂️ what is this and who was it actually made for?

The writers and showrunner admitted that they don't know how to write courtroom legal dramas and don't expect She-Hulk to show up all that often in the series due to the budget of the CGI THIS is the reason the show looks and feels so cheap. If they didn't have enough money for the CGI for She-Hulk then they should have just gotten a body double like the classic Incredible Hulk series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno lol.

The thing I never understand in this episode and all the way from the first trailer is Jen's line about superhero-ing is for "adult orphans... for some reason." WHY in all the holy fucks is that a valid reason to diss superheroing?! Are we laughing at orphans now? You know, people whose parents DIED? What kinda heartless shit?!

There was an Easter Egg in the episode that said "Man fights with Metal Claws in Bar." The beginning of the destruction of Wolverine is here.

Leela : hey there is no more script Fry: it took me an hour to write I thought it would take an hour to read . Single female lawyer

Easy way to fix the firing scene. She gets arrested by the police for damages caused during the fight. She fights it on principal that people are worth more than stuff, and her firm finds out and fires her because she has criminal charges pending. Sheild swoops in and makes the charges disappear, and hires her to represent heroes who have are in similar positions due to their actions, ie. they have tried to do something good, but caused harm in the process. It's not great, I admit, but its a heck of a lot better than what they came up with.

Probably my favorite part of writing is research. You want to write a story about an animal, a job, taking place in a country you know nothing about, (even when you know something you can always know more) so you should do all kinds of research. Talk with experts (real ones), go to that country, etc. People unfamiliar with the subject matter may not care or notice. But a lot of people notice stuff like this or go to check how accurate the movie is. Do these people even love writing?

Me, "Don't make Thorias mad, you wouldn't like him when he's mad." The Internet, "We disagree!"

Man, being a male supporting character in a woman's center show is like being in the 9 circles levels of Hell.

The CGI makes her look like Shrek's transgender son.

Here are a few courtroom legal dramas that She-Hulk should have taken inspiration from: Suits Better Call Saul The Good Wife Law & Order Goliath The Night of Boston Legal The Practice LA Law Damages Scandal

why does a lawyer conduct her important life decisions in a bar?? She gets fired from her job at a bar, she gets hired for the new job at a bar. Wouldn't a law firm contact her and arrange an in office meeting to do these things? Perhaps it is a minor grip but things like that are so easily corrected and that they are not says lazy writing.

The Perfect Strangers tangent was gold. I never knew I needed Balchi in a Marvel show until now.

Also, it's clear that the writers viewed Bruce as solely a white man and not Jen's cousin and friend. Imagine what this show would have been if they had made that aspect of it about family instead of men v women...where Jen looked up to her cousin for everything that he went through and achieved and he admired her for her ability to be a hulk in her own way without the rage that ruined his own life and relationships.

Similar torture to Batwoman

One of the reports has said don't expect She-Hulk to show up all that often in the series and it's because the budget for this show was really really low when compared to the other MCU Disney+ shows lol. That is why the CGI and effects look so cheap along with the horrible cinematography.

People who celebrate abortion (the showrunners and writers) complaining about maternity leave is fucking hilarious.

As other people point out in other videos talking about She-Hulk, her getting fired for being a Hulk who saved people is so unrealistic, it's not even funny. But then again, you have to remember that the show is made up and written by people who don't understand law, hence the joke about Jen representing Abomination after he tried to murder The Hulk.

hulk feeds on rage. she-hulk feeds on validation.

Just WHO. IS. THIS. SHOW. MADE. FOR. Honestly who? It can't be for fans of She-Hulk because in a recent report it was said that she won't be showing up all that often in the eight episode series and it can't be for fans of courtroom legal dramas because the showrunner and writers have admitted that they don't know how to direct a courtroom legal drama lol.

Finnally someone with common sense who can point out crap like this

I can understand women who are by definition not into men doing everything in their power to denigrate them, but what's in it for straight women? What kind of man will want to put up with this besides incels and simps (see also "male feminist"). They're guaranteeing their own misery in relationships and will blame men all the way down to lonely spinsterhood.

I like how Jen complains that everyone will think she got the job just because she's the She-Hulk when the writers only got the job on She-Hulk because of their gender. Because it sure wasn't on talent.

The show felt that short that when the end credits started I thought it was the opening credits. The worst part was this episode was much more tolerable than the first. I actually wanted to see what would happen. Didn't think it would be good But I didn't expect it to not even be there

@Thorias Unlimited The writers and showrunners have admitted that they DON'T know how to write courtroom legal dramas and just want to focus on the superheroics BUT because of the budget of the CGI don't expect She-Hulk to show up all that often in the series lol. In other words who is this show for.

THIS is what happens when you get writers and showrunners who aren't familiar with courtroom legal dramas. Hell they admitted it that they don't know how to write or direct a legal courtroom drama in a recent report lol.

It doesn't need jokes. It is a joke. I'm laughing at it.

In the comics Jennifer Walters was shy and awkward but when she got turned into the She-Hulk it gave her a huge confidence boost and she was able to grow out of her shell and be a confident and strong person who is able to be funny and sexy.

Between this and the "bullying" towards Feige from the producer it paints a clear picture why this show is like this. Marvel is concentrating on manufacturing the wrong elements and giving over control of the most important ones, character and story, to people that either don't care about it or don't understand what they are doing.

Abomination is a literal psychopath that gladly took the serum in the hopes he could kill something for the sake of killing, and when that didn't work he forced Bruce's scientist friend to inject hulks blood into him, attacked the friend as he escaped and left him for dead, then proceeded to go on a murderous rampage.

They turned Titania into Speedball Did the showrunner and writers not read any She-Hulk comics lol.

I actually liked Pug in the comics. But he was a former Bouncer for a club in the books who started practicing law after Spiderman saved his life. Does anyone think the actor they got playing him look like he used to be a Bouncer? One of my favorite characters from the comic and this is what we get. But seeing everything else in this show, I shouldn't be surprised.

I thought one joke at least landed. When Jen called Bruce about Emil, he said he was a completely different person back then. I got a mild chuckle. Very mild.

I'll totally buy that the law firm would fire her. Superheroes tend to get super villains - they probably figure the same scene will keep playing out in court, making her kind of useless as a trial lawyer. Might have played better as a demotion to being a research assistant or something, but I'll still buy getting fired.

She-Hulk being famous, IS a liability to the DA's office. It CAN be argued that any jury that knows her, will be biased in her favor because of her super deeds. Especially if she is a prosecutor, as the court tends to favor the defendant. The DA's office can't have a perceived vigilante/superhero, prosecuting cases. edit: In the comics...she helps the Avengers save the world, her case gets a mistrial because she indirectly "saved the jury" while saving the world, and she is fired. At least in the show, she directly saves the jury.

The Showrunner admitted that she never even READ a She-Hulk comic!

You mentioned "Why didn't Jen call Pepper Potts?" If Pepper Potts wasn't going to go to bat for Peter Parker, whom she knew Tony had all but adopted, during his being accused of murder in "No Way Home", she, sure as hell wouldn't do squat for a family member of Bruce whom she probably never heard of.

Who names their kid Pug? There are plenty of animal-based names old and currant, Wolfgang, Jerzy, Orson, but Pug?

If they did get Bronson Pinchot to cameo or to play a villain, they need to have him say, "Don't be ridiculous!" That would be the perfect thing. I can forgive a lot of stupidity with a Balky cameo.

Look forward to these!

TL;DR the writers did less than the bare minimum research and are using the least interesting parts of She-Hulk comics in ways worse than they originally were portrayed. For what it’s worth, there are two instances I know of in the comics where Shulkie got fired for saving lives (stay with me on this): The first was in Sensational in the interim when the main writer John Byrne wasn't writing for it. The opposition filed for a mistrial because the jury could be biased since She-hulk saved their lives. Of note, the issues when John Byrne wasn't writing were of varying quality, mostly poor, and this one in particular didn't do anything for the character. Byrne, upon his return, acted like none of the issues written while he was gone happened. Part of which was a joke, part of which was Byrne being stubborn, and part of which I ascribe to the poor quality of most of those issues. The second is in the Dan Slott run, which they seem to be taking... "inspiration" from. This was a ploy where GLKH filed for a mistrial so she would get fired and they could hire her to their firm for their new super hero division (for reason explained later). But the mistrial was only part of the reason she got fired. She was also in her hedonistic phase and causing problems in the workplace, the main reason she was let go, and the mistrial was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Note as well here that they inverted entirely the circumstances for the show, as in the comics Jen loved being She-Hulk but was forced to work at her new firm in normal human form (reasons explained further in the story). The lead writer is under the impression that Jen doesn't like being Shulkie and would give the powers back if she could. I'm paraphrasing, but Jessica Gao actually said that in an interview. An additional note, Pug (nickname) is a character in Slott's run. A bouncer-turn-lawyer who had a crush on Jen. Works out, fills the role of the side character who can't quite confess, might be more to him but I haven't finished reading the run. All this to say the writers either didn't read the comics at all and bastardized what they could for the show, or they greatly misinterpreted what was good about Shulkie's character and stories. Heavily leaning towards the former, but I wouldn't put the latter passed them either.

Eeeh I could buy the liability angle as a competent defense attorney could argue his client won't get a fair trial due to people already leaning towards Jen with how popular she is

The writers of she-hulk need to watch Night Court to learn how to write court room comedy.

I love how Jen complains about getting a job based on what she is and now having to actually earn it, isn’t that what Hollywood does now a days, you don’t get anything based on talent just on ticking the right boxes 🤦‍♂️

Loved your new episode 2 review of She Hulk, Thorias. also I especially loved the part where you exploded lol. :)

Your delivery is hilarious!🤣 Instant sub.

Would have been better if Jen had been all haughty about her new powers, rejecting Bruce's offer of training, easily defeated a low tier opponent in her first outing, but then got her @ss handed to her by TItania( like actually happened in the comics) , so she realizes that just being really strong may not be enough, but now Bruce is off world so she is on her own.

Kevin feige so cheap that he refuses to hire actual writers who are familiar with writing and showrunning courtroom legal dramas like Better Call Saul Suits Law & Order Damages and The Good Wife lol. I think the reason he refuses to hire any of these writers and showrunners is because he doesn't want to break the MCU formula.

Honestly if the CGI is so expensive they should have did a body double like the classic Incredible Hulk show since it would have been cheaper. They could have casted WWE Superstar Raquel Gonzalez/Rodriguez as She-Hulk lol.

That perfect strangers bit would’ve been the best thing she-crap could’ve done

The whole plotline of the legality of Abomination/Emil Blonsky treatment by the government could have made an interesting legal courtroom drama, if only in the hands of competent writers. Marvel hasn't had one of those for years now.

Even if Thorias doesn't get Gotham Nights, he'll still have She-Hulk.

You know what I miss? I miss when superheroes and other fantasy style subjects were just meant to entertain, and everybody knew that. Were there some messages and some pandering to special interests, of course. But the writers were clever enough to not make that blatantly obvious!

“How much respect do you think pug is going to get” Probably as much respect as people have given the actual dog breed, which is to say very little

Took me two quick takes to realize that was cousin Larry! Still doing great work 👍😊

You have such a way to put it so articulately.

Be happy it´s that short. Imagine if it was double that with the same... "ingredients".

I'm just counting the days till the She-Hulk show gets cancelled, I am hoping it does not take as long as batwoman did.

The call between Bruce and Jen dropped, once Bruce got to far away. So I wouldn't call that great reception. But, to answer your question...there is nothing to block the signal in space and the ship acts as a cell tower.

She Hulk is the TRUE ABOMINATION. Can only imagine if Thorias reviews Netflix 's Resident Evil 17:00 Abomination killed,or mutated that scientist too...if I recall correctly...

I'm fairly scared what will happen when Daredevil appears on the show.

Yes, they are paid. All Avengers get a paid from STARK Enterprise, Tony is a billioner 😅

It might be worth noting that the kind of sicophantic behavior exhibited by Diverse BFF is a trademark of a certain kind of minion of megalomaniacal supervillains. Either the cowardly bootlicker that hopes to benefit from being in the villain's good graces, or the treacherous liar who bides his time until the villain drops his guard and stabs them in the back. It would be nice if the writers were setting her up for a twist villain reveal that would explain why she is so over the top in her adoration, but I don't trust them to do something like that.

OMG Thorias! You just hit on something phenomenal. SheHulk is Sienfeld's dream come true. Its a true show abount NOTHING!

So glad you found a substitution for batgirl to give you high blood pressure. I’m back!

this is why the MCU world building is stupid. for a group that saved the universe, they can have whatever they want technically. Clint can live in Wakanda, Asgard, and any places on the universe for free with unlimited health benefits given to him by any race. and for it not to happened is one of the reason why it's stupid. heck, Asgard should already been in space and fixed by everyone of the 9 realms because it is the governing body of the 9 realms. i am even dumbfounded why none of the gods in love and thunder even offer to build Asgard for saving their ass. Even the goddam celestials didn't do anything. don't even let me start with the flacon and the winter soldier.

Jennifer Walters is a LAWYER! That is like a license to print money. She could start her own firm with a "specialty" in Super Human Law, and clean up! People with regular cases would be knocking down the doors to hire her. Instead of some big corporation, SHE could be leading the industry.

Do the Avengers offer healthcare? 1 They're funded by Stark,2 You're a f*cking Hulk.

So She-Hulk is initially a bitter narcissist who is unemployed...but she becomes head of a brand new department not based on any qualifications others than her recently popular nature . ... This really IS the autobiography of the writer!

My question is this just who is this show made for? It can't be for fans of She-Hulk from the comics because recently it was said that She Hulk won't be showing up all that often in the series. It can't be for fans of legal courtroom dramas because the showrunner and writers have admitted that they don't know how to direct or write courtroom dramas. It can't be for fans of superheroes because as was stated by the showrunner and writers that you shouldn't expect She-Hulk to show up all that often in the series.

You know there's something wrong when some rando angry man on the internet is funnier in the first fifteen seconds of his video than the first two episodes of a 'comedy' show. Also, am I the only one whose confused at the Head Guy so willing to fire her after she balked for a GOOD LEGAL reason to be recused from representing Blonsky? I mean, in a REAL court of law, you don't represent family because it's a conflict of interest, and representing someone who tried to hurt family counts. In fact, the COURT could SANCTION Jen because they don't have reason to believe she'd give her best defense for the guy.

One of the things that differentiate She-Hulk from Hulk, is their LUCK. Bruce's life is worse because of being a Hulk. Jen's life becomes better as a Hulk.

I honestly find you more entertaining than she hulk. I love YOUR jokes. My dad showed me your channel and I love this more than she hulk and MSHEU. Good job. 👏

OMG "Happy as a clam" Pun intended 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So I can see her losing her job because the Opposing client and prosecutor could be scared into Botching their case especially if their opponent is someone who will ease can send them into the next state over with a backhand.

You know what would work better? Rather than having her fired after one appearance, she lets her "celebrity lawyer" status go to her head. She gets offered this new job, and impulsively quits the DAs office, only to realise that her fancy new job is superficial and empty since it's all about her being She-Hulk, not being a lawyer. She could Learn a Valuable Lesson about how the grass is always greener. Of course, that would require Jen being written as a _character_ rather than a shallow wish-fulfillment fanfic.

So I was right, it is Larry from Perfect Strangers. Yes Balkey must return.

7:01 according to falcon and the winter soldier they’re not, because Sam needed to get a loan from a bank instead of asking pepper for money

I would have started the series as an entire origin story. Start with her being a lawyer and trying to take down the mafia with all the dark complications that go with it. Have her occasionally be in contact with her cousin, sometimes see him on tv or something, but let it steep and brew. Have her and Bruce meet and hang out and on that some day later on the mafia hits. Bring in the hard guns and have her and maybe her legal assistant hit, taking out accidentally her legal assistant with her in the hospital needing the transfusion. All this would happen near the end of the first season and not at the start of it. Just my spin on it but...ah well. I'm so tempted to start editing the above into a trailer lol The people that find Origin stories boring are those people who don't like comics.

"there is a girl over there, I'm going to go talk to it" is the only time I actually laughed at this show.

The MCU just keeps giving Thorias more materials to roast. I can't really complain. Please keep screwing up, Marvel Studios.

Remember Jessica Jones season 2? That was an all-female stunt production too, but all the women were damaged or deranged, the protagonist was an alcoholic, no one was affirmed, and the proliferation of super powers was a human tragedy.

I believe they saw the feedback on the series being too short, and us wanting more episodes of the shows. They took the 6 hour long episodes and cut them in half to make more episodes... I got the impression that Bruce was still in orbit, probably right next to a Stark satellite for his Avenger, I have service anywhere, phone when She called. The call was cut off when the ship departed into hyperspace/lightspeed/ludicrous speed, or whatever they use.

the boss firing scene made alot of sense as as a new celebrity superhero "or as her boss sees it", that's gonna open the door for everyone to claim mistrial and all jurors would know and love a hero, making them unbiased

Based on what you've shared, I will give the writers this concession: letting Jen go does actually make sense. They could feel that she would no longer be effective as a trial lawyer because she is a celebrity, and any case she presented would be tainted by her celebrity status. With that, the defense could always declare that a jury was being unduly influenced because the lawyer was the She-Hulk ... ... it does actually make sense, from a logical point of view. That sounds like the ONLY thing that makes sense in this show, but it does make sense.

KEEP up the great work!!

If the bring in Balky, I want Baby Babkas and the Dance of Joy.

I’ve got no interest in this hulk derived show, sitcom format or not. I mainly watch these videos because, and I mean this as a genuinely big compliment, he’s like the Lewis Black of entertainment reviews and the vids are always funny. (Oh, we all love what’s her name from Alias Investigations, another female led show that I’d gladly pay money to see more seasons produced. So it can be done, but the she-hulk, bat girl, ms. Marvel, etc producers and “writers” have no idea or desire to produce a show that good.) Anyway, keep up the good work. These reviews are hilarious.

Pepper and Stark Industries are in New York. Jen wants to live and work in LA, where her family is. Hank Pym and the Van Dynes are closer to home.

When your "protagonist" is more concerned about job benefits than saving the world... makes you wonder why anyone would like this Character?

The writers admitted they don't know how to write courtroom dramas. I think this is a deflection from the fact they don't know how to write... period.

Kinda weird how he knows the "7 Strangers" might be a possible Thunderbolts reference from the comics, but doesn't know Augustus "Pug" Pugliese works with her at her new firm [also in the comics]? 🤔🤔🤔

Money has always kind of been weird in the MCU, I mean in AOU it'd implied Steve can't afford a place in Brooklyn even with who he is and what he does.

You left out the one (and only one) joke that has landed so far in the series ... When Jen is talking to Bruce and he says that when he fought Blonsky he was a totally different person. Jen then gives the camera a wink. It was a nice Edward Norton meta joke. Still, in one hour of TV so far, it's a piss poor joke batting average.

Clint's farm is 100% paid for by SHIELD, and the cost was hidden by Fury. It's part of Clint's wife, Laura's, retirement package. As safe place for SHIELD's two top agents, to raise their kids.

Holy crap! Yes! Cousin Balki for the win!
