If a show gets made, it sucks, and we all know it sucks, the solution isn't to "lower our standards" until we enjoy it again. Disney doesn't inherently deserve your money or watch time, they have to earn it. And this isn't earning it. Don't forgive mediocre content. Demand better content.
I've already quitted Disney Plus months ago and I really don't regret it. I'm just enjoying all the videos on RU-vid right now about how much the newer MCU content sucks. 😌
Yes because women haven't been abused, raped, pushed around, used as objects, assaulted for years in and out of film.. Jesus christ you are a bunch of manbabies
The fact that you fixed the courtroom scene, and made it funnier than the final product just shows how loose and misguided Jessica Gao is as a writer. Episode 2 implies that *she* was the one who wanted to save those people. When in reality it was her bestie who motivated her to do it. I love it when writer's don't know about continuity. Also the fact Jen cowers away and does nothing is so funny to me, and she also showed no signs of responsibility in that moment, but the flashback sequence from Episode 1 made that clear, since she knows she is selfish, since she doesn't use her power to help people, and prioritises her job and outfit more than a human being. I seriously can't believe the praise this show is getting. It's honestly embarrassing.
These writers number one job is to dismiss everything male and masculine related. In the comics, she's a competent lawyer, but still shy and somewhat introverted, but after the blood transfusion from Bruce, she becomes "larger than life" in personality when she becomes the She-Hulk. She's so in love with the power, she FORGETS how to turn back into Jennifer, even though she has the ability to do it.
@@damedan9389 Exactly. Jen is a shy and conservative woman, and it is only until she becomes She-Hulk, she can embrace her feminity, and strength as a woman, and flaunt herself as a confident attractive woman who likes the attention. The writer's for the show did a full 180⁰ and essentially reversed everything that was great from the comic's, and turned it into what I find on the ground when I go to the supermarket. I hope She-Hulk doesn't get renewed for a 2nd season and stays as a solo entry. Everything has been agony... (Don't even get me started on the new episode).
@@HoDoBoDo man, after Thor 2, I saw what Disney was up to. There's only a handful of "Phase 2 & 3" movies I can dig (the leftist dribble was kept minimum to the story). After that, I peek to see what the CGI looks like.
Jessica Gao is one of the saddest and most untalented people working in hollywood right now. You can taste her lack of sex or attention through the products she releases. Shes hateful and bitter and you can see it drawn on her face during interviews. The part of it that makes her so sad and embarrassing is that fact you can also feels that shes right for feeling how she does. She truly believes shes an oppressed victim. No men in her field respect her work. No men in her field want to sleep with her let alone tale her on a date. None of the male marvel superstars would ever give her a moment longer than it would take for them to fakely applaud her work during an event. She is pathetic and i dont feel bad for her. Shes unattractive, untalented and unbearably dumb and she refuses to work on or change any part of herself. Instead she will cry victim and claim men are evil and hate women when in reality shes not interesting enough for any of us to laud over her.
I wish we could go back 10 years when they actually made good marvel movies, with good cgi, good writing and directing and I bet if she hulk was introduced in the earlier mcu I bet her character would be waaaaayyy more faithful and not lean into this man hating bullshit that’s all over this show, but nowadays sucks
@@MrOctober44 LOL You think that MARVEL a COMIC BOOK COMPANY with thousands of characters and almost 100 years worth of stories " ran out of ideas"? This take is just incorrect. Marvel will never run out of ideas. They have an endless well of content to draw from.
There was also a dig at the Hulk, by her father, for wrecking a city, and Jen hasn't done that. It's tiring having all the digs at the biggest characters in the MCU, by the Marvel writers.
This is like DC level writing picking fun at their own characters just shows how confident they are in their abilities to make decent stories. I hate how much they've turned Bruce Banners suicide attempts into nothing compared to Jennifer being called pretty lmao. 💀
Yeah apparently the MCU writers hate Hulk for some reason, but hey this a show written by a women who proudly says she bullies Feige and threatens to quite if the AI. didn't have a ball cap on.
It's fascinating to me that they are just throwing out references to a subplot going on with Hulk in space that seems infinitely more interesting than the actual plot of the show. It's like when you overhear a conversation and you're curious what it's about but your coworker won't stop talking and assumes you're interested enough to listen to them go on and on about something you don't care about
I would rather watch 50 minutes of a show about what you just said instead of watching she-hulk. I only watched the first episode of she-hulk and I couldn’t watch anymore.
I had a thought for how they could’ve made She-Hulk’s introduction more interesting while doing Hulk Justice: Imagine she’s doing her thing of dunking on Bruce. Egging him on, talking down to him, minimizing his struggles. This combined with his jealousy results in the actual Hulk surfacing in rage. And he beats the snot out of She-Hulk. Like, it’s barely a fight. She gets some hits in, dodges here and there, but when a single hit lands she’s rocked by it whereas her punches barely phase Hulk. He’s got her on the backfoot, and she starts profusely apologizing and appealing to Bruce, who manages to wrestle control back. He’s frightened, remorseful, and is apologizing for having hurt her. She shuts this down, owns up to being an insensitive bitch, and admits that she’s insanely lucky to have control. She comforts Bruce, reminds him of the good he’s done, and resolves to use her powers responsibly and with restraint. Bruce hugs his cousin, and says he believes in her, and lets her go back to her life. He himself then goes off to space, realizing there is still things he has to work on with The Hulk, and ought to be off-world for everyones safety. This would have been SO MUCH BETTER than what we got in making Jen more relatable and sympathetic, without emasculating Bruce or preaching to the audience.
My favorite thing about your comment is that you actually used your brain!!! I hate how Disney is portraying the hulk and she hulk. I hoped when I heard about this show it was going to be a dark horse in the mcu and return the hulk back to a complex character with inner struggles, but it looks like we got him eating hot cheetos with chop sticks and getting saved from a car crash by a civilian…..
This would be a great scene, but it could never happen in our modern political culture. Can you imagine the tidal wave of outrage that would erupt from the woke twitter mob if a male superhero beat the shit out of a woman in anger, and she then apologized for provoking him? They'd ignore all the context and history of these characters and accuse Disney of being sexist and pro domestic abuse.
As much as I love this, this implies hulk(the gamma irradiated rage machine) is alive and still inside Bruce, but he’s dead lol. Hulk died somewhere between infinity war and endgame and we’ve gotten Bruce parading his corpse around. He doesn’t even have the same voice lol, so I love the idea but marvel stopped giving a Fucc about its fans after Thanos erased half the universe
this is why you people arent writers.. jen isnt gonna own up to being an insensitive "bitch" thats her character you dork. and Hulk isnt even in the mcu rn if u watch the show banner clearly states that hulk died when he merged the two.. holy shit you losers hate women and have shitty fan rewrites that you think are good just because you think all male characters are supposed to be the peak and triumph all the time
Take Bruces struggle with the Hulk. Having to grapple with a literal monster on the inside and get rid of all that. Just make her turn into a green WNBA player. Her stuggle is learning to be a Girlboss while being green
Well you said it yourself. They have 2 different struggles. She doesn’t have an alternate “hulk” in her so that isn’t something she has to deal with. Jen’s struggle is learning to except that this is her life now. She went from being an unknown lawyer to a superhuman celeb overnight. Now she most balance both sides of her. Why compare 2 very different situations?
@@dwayneshy9531 Cuz shes a washed down version of hulk. Its like calling a story Ms. Jekyll and Hyde and its not about split personality. Dont call it hulk to begin with
Tbh, my problem with the MCU isn’t with the stories made. It’s with how they were presented. Each character is literally a goofball. When Scorsese called MCU movies were theme park films, people attacked him at first, but then he was right. There’s no emotion, nothing. Each hero has suddenly turned into a goofball. We can’t get mature stories anymore. DC is becoming Marvel Phase 1 at this point. Shazam felt different than Aquaman, Batman, and the Suicide Squad. DC focuses on diversity in stories. Marvel focuses on diversity in people and agendas.
I was rooting for this one but maaaaaan did they make the one mistake you never make. They took a character that’s about being fun and made her annoying so they can drag out pointless character development to last episode.
Just one thing about the video, it is VERY established that after hulk became smart hulk, the public definetly saw him as a hero, we see the kids taking a picture with him on endgame, people mentioning him bringing people back etc... so your point about people having to fear she hulk isn't really valid
It still took Bruce years to gain control over his powers and become a real hero that people trusted, so it would still make sense for people to be fearful and suspicious of a new hulk appearing. Sure she seems to have control over her powers right from the get-go, but what if she just hasn't gotten angry enough to rampage yet? A lot of people would probably treat her like a ticking time bomb until a significant amount of time had passed without her ever going berserk.
I just don't understand how she has complete control so easily! One might argue that because she doesn't have the "actual monster" and because she just "got her powers from his blood" and not a full on radiation or whatever.... but wouldn't that then mean that she SHOULDN'T be as strong as him? It would also make sense considering the "muscle mass" difference. It.... it just doesn't make any sense...
Well Hulk had a really bad track record for years following his public outing so no surprise some people would be skeptical of She-Hulk. The remaining Avengers and their allies were relied on to keep order following the snap which explains why Hulk’s reputation is better.
She is so Perfect that the writers have to dumb down shii to put her up rather than y'know build up her up but no , Marvel doesn't want "women" to see weak.
Smart hulk is seen years after the snap taking selfies with children. I think in the mcu, he has long since been deemed a tame celebrity rather than a threat
I'm so glad you posted the clip of Abomination literally KILLING all those people from the Incredible Hulk film. Because the She-Hulk series seems to completely overlook and discount how the families of Abomination's numerous victims would feel about his murderous actions and being up for parole. Jennifer selfishly took on a case without taking in consideration the pain and suffering of those people, let alone how she actually betrayed her own cousin by defending a man who tried to kill him and the woman he loves (or did love) at that time, Betty Ross.
I like the 4th wall breaks she does. I think in the comics she was the one who did it first, not Deadpool. But it is kinda weird...seeing how they portray She-Hulk as a character.
Always funny how feminist writers want to have a female character who’s spectacular at everything and beloved by everyone, but also want them to be an underdog who has to struggle (despite everything pointing to the contrary)
@@mikeegomez8315 Lol what? The majority of Spiderman's history he's only been loved by people who he has directly saved or helped, with the greater public despising him because of the decade long smear campaign that the Daily Bugle waged against him.
@@mikeegomez8315 eh, not really. Hell just look at the Hulk, not depicted as a perfect character but also trying to be the underdog. But a man wrestling with his own inner demons all while being hunted by the US military. Very different from a narcissistic princess who complains over every minor inconvenience
2 things about She-Hulk. 1, she literally went from having a good job with good pay to having now a great job as the head of a new department for a new company with even better perks and benefits and she is still complaining, this making her look even more narcissistic, as 99.9% would kill to be in her place. So it makes her even worse. 2, The fact that she would need to ask for benefits about being a hero, even though a hero is someone who sacrifice for others, makes her, again, look worse. Let alone the fact that each Avenger actually have a job as well and is still making an effort to be a hero, yet she is complaining and insulting these same heroes who made sacrifices so she could have the ability to keep her cushy, high paying job is just disgusting, and in any normal show and story, she would be treated as unlikeable and a douche, but considering it is modern day Marvel, the writers just don't have enough self awareness to realize how disgusting they and their character are. Side note, this is one of the thing I always found weird nobody everyone brought up in any critic of Falcon and The Winter Soldier Disney plus show. The scene where he needed to borrow money and was denied is A, ludicrous because he is a massive hero who saved the entire world multiple times so realistically, there is no way he would ever be denied a simple thing like this. B, let alone the fact that Pepper, Tony Stark's wife and the inheritor of his wealth, is just a phone call away for financial aid, which again, is something the writers had to conveniently hand wave away to fit their narrative. C, let alone the fact that Falcon was a pretty decent ranking soldier in the military and was actually working for Shield for a pretty decent amount of time. The fact that he would even be broke at all when he would most probably be one of the most decorated military personnel, with a very decent position and set of skills, working for one of the most high profile military organisation, would most definitely make it so that he would be pretty well off. But again, hand waving, am I right.
No she’s being smart, even if a hero sacrifices themselves to save others, she still have to think about how she is going to pay for her house, bills. And it’s not like she ever wanted to be a hero in the first place. She wanted to be a lawyer and everything was going well until the accident happened. And then Bruce tried to force her to let go of all of the hard work and time it took to get to that lawyer position and become a hero even though she didn’t even want to.
@@blakefantasy2600 Bruce also didn't want to spend 15 years being hunted by the military like an animal. Your point? And again, sacrifice is what a hero does. How hard is it to understand? But then again, guess you've never seen a hero before so I guess I understand.
@@aliciaechodumont2808 Yes. Normal people would be, not heroes. Again, HEROES. Sacrifice is their middle name. Also, they all are self sufficient. They all have jobs. They all have good lives. Yet everyone of them were more then happy to give up everything to better the lives off the ordinary people. It's a superhero show. The title of hero isn't given to just anyone. If they just want a comedy, just do a comedy. A superhero show/comedy still needs to have a hero in it. Not an ordinary person.
@@cttommy73 Not all hero’s are the same. You can’t expect everyone to sacrifice their life like that. People have lives of their own. So to say and force someone to become something they don’t want to be is wrong. And also, not every hero is selfless, there is such people like anti hero’s and others who are mostly in it for themselves or are partly villains. Just because Bruce went through things, doesn’t mean she has to go through it either.
There is nothing inherently wrong with derivative characters as long as they have their own unique struggles and personality's such as Miles Morales or Mighty Thor but I do agree that this show did not handle the concept very well.
When she takes off her shoes look at the ridiculous ‘action padding’ between Titania and the guards in the background. It’s like watching a Junior School play 😂😂
The only “evidence” that can back the argument that the hulk made his image better was in endgame when he was “smart hulk” and had the scene where he had a conversation with the kids in the diner.
Watching captain marvel after she hulk actually makes me appreciate the movie a little bit cuz this is 100x worse and I genuinely don't understand how people are actually enjoying this show which is disrespecting the actually good MCU characters and the comics ,also in a show which is supposed to be a ''comedy law show'' doesn't seem to be good at both of those things. And the fact that these courtroom scenes exist in the same universe as daredevil is baffling lol.
@@moondawwg true, catcalling sexualization of women is a really bad thing but at the time she hulks twerks on screen with millions of dollars spent of that CGI but chopped up and actual action scene from 1st episode and then proceeds to show a drunk woman with the most sexualized outfit and I can't believe the dialogues for the MEN in this show are written by real people(they for real call women ''it'' or a ''specimen'') bruh who talks like that the writers also admitted they don't know how to write courtroom scene lmao
great point about her being portrayed as a monster by the media! she hulk being treated like an 'other' for her association to the hulk and having her overcome it could have been a great metaphor for overcoming adversity that she SAYS she goes through but doesnt actually...
Should have also mentioned that Bucky was tortured, brainwashed and forced to kill innocents for 70 years. But sure Jen, being given a good job because of She Hulk is the ultimate travesty in life
Honestly the cgi wouldn't of even became a problem if they had good writing for the story and somewhat a comic accurate origin, people would've ignored the fact this looks like a kickass film if Michael Bay directed it
There still would've been complaints about it "ruining the experience" but yeah people would've been far more accepting if Jen was just a mouth piece for the writers to lecture the audience with.
I love how you can massacre a ridiculous amount of people in the marvel universe and people will forgive you😂 like how tf are both hulk and abomination forgiven when they actively killed sooo many people through cities lmaoo these assholes should be cellmates with zemo 🤣 also everybody in the mcu is way too comfy with the fact that they can be erased in a moments notice😂
My theory is that they have this belief that the radiational mutation caused them to lose control over themselves. It's like how there are people who have murdered, were deemed insane by a court, then released once they are deemed sane. Just like the guy who decapitated a man on a bus in Canada
Tbh I think comics are written very poorly. I mean they have really good characters and stories but they do really stupid things just to make it 'not dark'. Like Batman not killing the Joker or someone like The Hulk or Venom not being in jail.
The Abomination storyline could work. No matter what he's done he is entitled to counsel. She Hulk could be conflicted about taking the job. Despite her feelings about what he did she still needs to advocate for him to the best of her ability. Lot to chew on there.
The writers screwed up by having Jen gain full control of her powers in the first episode. Part of the fun of superhero movies and shows is them learning how to use their powers. They’re going to make mistakes but sometimes that can be used for comedic effect, especially since they wanted to write the show as a comedy. It took Banner/Hulk years to learn how to control himself. I know they didn’t have that amount of time in the show but they could’ve at least had her gain near total control of herself/abilities around the third or fourth episode.
She hulk used to enhance the hulk as her having the powers and not bring batshit insane kind of highlighted that bruce was suffering beyond just the big green. Dude had multiple personality disorders
Uh, she already had full control over her powers in the comics, so that’s not really a problem. The real problem is how she seemingly hates her new powers in this show, but in the comics she loved them to the point where she would rather be She-Hulk than normal Jen
The head writer lady of this show wrote on "The Annoying Orange" some Marvel hack saw that and wasn't bothered how out of place that is. Like A Walking Dead writer to write on Blues Clues.
Yeah, as an indie author. The standards for us are through the roof. We get crucified if we dont meet standards. But then why do Hollywood writers write crap and get away with it?
I think Blonsky is blaming it on the super serum just to get himself released. In the Incredible Hulk, Clearly he willingly volunteered to fight the hulk with the serum, And then lusted for more when he lost the first fight. So no, the serum can’t be blamed here, He is responsible for everything he did.
One of the odd things about this show is, Jen claims she is a very good lawyer( and the show seems to take her side in this belief) , yet, she screws up in court constantly and doesn't even seem to know how to act in " lawyer situations". one could point to the writer's self proclaimed inability to write legal scenes, but, they write other lawyers who act more professionally and are more skilled and knowledgeable than Jen is. How exactly does that happen. Are the writers telling us that they know that Jen is full of crap ?
I agree with your criticisms I just wanted to say something about earlier in the video where you said that the world would be afraid of hulk, just to remind you at this point hulk has been smart hulk for years and he also brought half the universe back to life. Him being the literal savior of the universe behind Tony Stark makes it not a stretch at all.
@@Spectre0799 He does, people won't forget your past just because you've become a good guy. There'd still be people that'd hate him. It's like been with a mentally disabled superpowered being that's going to therapy. You don't know when he's going to lose control. I guess most of the people would kinda forget about it tho, it's being almost 20 years already.
Listen, the writing is bad but holy hell we gave them so many chances after every trailer saying “hey Marvel, the cgi is bad, and I don’t like where this is headed.” I know 9 episodes of content is longer than a movie but Sonic is a perfect example of *listening* to your audience, we called them on their shit and they realized “okay our cgi is bad,” and they remastered it. Honestly I still think the series has potential if it gets remastered but why would marvel *ever* do that.
I was reading comics starting about 1967 (Marvel and DC) when I was three , so well understand that continuity was something that often went out the window as it was being developed in real time each month…the fact that Marvel attempted continuity and a sense of real time and place, and interconnectivity between the books and characters were some of the things that had made Marvel so good in the first place. Logic however rarely made an appearance so you just went with it. But those were cheap comics, made on a thin budget, pumped out monthly or bi-monthly, and were aimed at kids. Movie and live action tv series have to operate on a different plane, but the producers of this stuff (both Marvel and Warner) don’t seem to get that. They’re very concerned with adult-oriented social, sexual, and political concerns, but done as if the producers and writers were no older than the junior high schoolers superhero comics were aimed at in the first place.
If I could embody She-Hulk I'd go study astrophysics, PHD maths and aerospace engineering, build myself a rocket and spend milions to blast She-Hulk into the Sun, never for it to be viewed ever again.
Hulk - Hunted by the government. No control over his alter self for most of his life. Thor - Has his entire planet destroyed, lost his father and brother. Wanda - Lost vision Iron Man - Kidnapped and tortured to build missiles. Makes his escape right before losing a friend. Spiderman - Thrown into the life of superhero's as a teen. Is erased from everyone's memories. Captain America - Frozen in ice for 70 years, separated from his love. And she-hulk, who get's cat called and needs to buy bigger clothes. Now not every character needs a sad backstory, but when she's also a Mary Sue character (a character (typically a young woman) that has no flaws) there is no room for development or growth. And ALSO with her extreme arrogance and disrespect towards Bruce (who's just trying to help her), knowing the trauma he's been through are the makes of a horrible character.
That's what annoys me so about her character; she is not humble and is very disrespectful to her cousin and the things hes gone and continues going through which are far more serious and grievous then any cat calls she ever endured!💯😁😉👍
I will say be hired only because of one trait you can’t control does feel a little bit like a slap to the face. Despite all your other credentials that you work years for to achieve isn’t even given a second glance. It’s like a dance monkey dance type of situation
When I heard she hulk was getting a series I loki just thought I was finna watch a show about she hulk getting her powers then becoming a hero and fighting bad guys joining the hulk to fight and maybe we would see red hulk and they all would fight for justice and that would be how she would be introduced into the MCU not this non sense
10:30 " She was hired because she is She-Hulk, not because of her Qualifications.If she wasn't She-Hulk she wouldn't have been offered the job" But if she wasn't a Lawyer she wouldnt have got the job either. She wasn't hired solely because of her powers. Her powers are just part of a longer list of qualification
If she wasn't she hulk they would've hired any other lawyer. Being a lawyer was the bare minimum, just like being alive and breathe. And many people do that.
@@pascalsimioli6777 So... being She-Hulk got her the job. Is that a bad thing? I mean, her only requirement is her having to show up as She-Hulk everytime.
No. She-Hulk is a hero we all deserve because we let a bunch of multi-billion dollar big wigs in hollywood create this and now we deserve what's coming to us.
Its not that shes a diversity hire. She's a mascot. Her participation adds legitimacy. So does she see herself as a diversity hire because shes stupid or did the writers try to sound smart and fumbled bigly?
The only Arguement that I would make against you here is that I'm sure it would or should be common knowledge that it was the Hulks snap that brought half of all existence back to life. Honestly, he should be extremely highly revered and honored. Like he should be a mega celebrity in this universe.
Am I the only one who thinks the way she got her powers in the series is stupid? It's like "No, no it's super deep because they were in in an accident and they tripped and they fell down and his blood fell in her open wound!"
Why would people afraid of a new Hulk? 1) Bruce Banner has been Smart Hulk for like 5 years now. In Endgame he's casually eating at a Diner's IN HULK FORM and kids are coming up to him for autograph's. People not being afraid of Hulk anymore isn't a new concept 2) Theres ways of neutralizing a Hulk. In the first 2 avengers movies Hulk goes on a rampage but is stopped by the Avengers. Shield was shown to have a cell designed to contain him. Emil Blonsky ( Abomination); who is comparable to hulk in strength was safely detained for years, ect. Theres enough advanced technology and superhero's in universe that Hulk really isn't something to be afraid of anymore 3) Jennifer's introduction to the public is her saving the lives of a courtroom. Literally the opposite of what would make people afraid. And in doing so she also demonstrates that she can enter her Hulk format will and control said form. She literally doesn't do anything that would make people think she's a bad guy
Then why would anyone want to watch it? Also, irrelevant cause there are plenty of heroes who didn’t want to step up at first (e.g., Aang and Ichigo Kurosaki), but still chose to be heroes because they wanted to protect people and had the power to do so.
1:00 i think hulk had been the only hero in earth for two years at that point and was not only the only hero but also did thos as smart hulk. So ppl may have eased up Edit: I think in endgame kids come over to him for a picture or autograph too as he eats in a restaurant. So he's excepted
Correct me if im wrong (and im not attempting to defend the show) but didnt hulk become famous in society as shown by the kids trying to take a photo with him in endgame? i do still think she-hulk should recieve mixed feelings by the public after her first appearance as its a newcomer who didnt put the work in and publicly bettered their public perception like the hulk did.
Many characters are indeed hand me downs. The only one I like is Miles Morales but even he has been failed by Marvel in terms of compelling storylines.
"I'm sure there is a *BLACK* Spider-Man out there" That is the only defining trait Miles has to offer the MCU, his color. Come back to this comment when Miles Morales gets his own movie...it's gonna be a BLM propaganda shitshow
