She Hulk Episode 1 Review

What should have been a fun and entertaining show is instead a platform for a particularly vile strain of feminism. Even by the presently low standards of the MCU, She Hulk is nothing short of a disgrace.

[@edrosa3485]

Her little rant with Bruce was hilarious. For years he had to live with the face that at any moment he could decimate an entire city and kill thousands so he tries to put a bullet in his mouth and Hulk spits it out.... she get cat called though.

[@DespotofAntrim]

Serving suicide is Hulk male privilege. Jen is the true victim.

[@AxenfonKlatismrek]

Please, how would you rewrite this speech?

[@HenriFaust]

@@AxenfonKlatismrek Your question reveals a deeper misunderstanding about the issue. The speech itself is not the problem. In fact, at least one KZbinr has pointed out how with a few minor changes in the preceding scenes, the speech can be rescued without alteration. The problem is that the speech, as well as any other element of an artistic work, cannot be viewed as separate from the other elements of that work. Each element must be evaluated in terms of the work as a whole, and in the way each element interacts with other elements of the work _in situ._ In more simple terms, it's not enough to just throw a bunch of things one likes together and call it a day because those things may not work well together.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Last thing that annoys me is how Jen is presented compared to the comics and cartoons. In the comics and cartoons Jen is a fun, loveable character. She's a intelligent party girl who loves being a Hulk because it gave her the self confidence to appreciate herself she never got in her normal day to day life and essentially lived life to the fulllest. Yet she was also humble and compassionate, apologizing to Bruce because she knew she got the easy end of the proverbial stick since she could control her transformation when he couldn't and always offered her a shoulder to lean on when he needed it, both out of gratitude for the power he gave her and out of genuine love for her cousin. This THING on TV is nothing like that. She's an entitled, misandrist, naracisst who'd probably tell Bruce to piss off if he ever asked her for anything more serious than a ride home. She's utterly unlikeable, not a good lawyer, not compassionate in the slightest, there isn't a single thing about her that is endearing or attractive.

[@DespotofAntrim]

Exactly, Jen is like a parody of a Tik-Tok liberal living up her own ass. When she walks through the law firm building bitching about how it's 'so unfair' that people think she wasn't hired on merit, I thought about an interview I saw recently of a kid who lost his legs but carried on playing football because he didn't want to just feel sorry for himself and give up. The modern wokehack writers (Obi Wan, ROP, She Hulk) are the product of a culture of narcissism and entitlement, they are symptoms of a profoundly ill civilization.

Defending a man who tried to kill her cousin, goes as far as to call him and ask if he would be OK with it. She literally calls Bruce almost every episode to talk ( indicating) she holds his opinions in high regard...because who the hell calls someone for advice they don't respect? Bad lawyer? She won every case she been given by providing the merit of the case.. showing the US government holds some responsibility for creating the abomination and that Magic practices dangerously is a threat to the public...so wtf are you talking about when saying bad lawyer..

[@joshdillon9637]

Ever notice how Jen always completely miserable in this show? The life she's trying to lead as a career woman makes her miserable, but she has no interest in trying anything else. All she does is complain about everything and get drunk. She doesn't want to be She Hulk at all until it can be used to make a bunch of old high school acquaintances jealous. She's selfish and awful. They'd have to pull off a miracle to change her from this train wreck of a human being into someone likable in the last couple of episodes.

Jen is the perfect representation of the middle aged Millennial girl boss divorcee devotee type who plasters on a pubescent squee after a few too many at the bar, twerking to hide her endless nights of misery. Misandrist, easily manipulated, arrogant, and worst of all, unable to mentally mature past high school. They're all over society. They've infected entertainment, they've poisoned the law. And they will never ever admit that they were lied to and totally screwed out of any chance of personal happiness by their own dogmas. It's a tragedy for us all, but especially these modern woman.

@@DespotofAntrim unfortunately, the Mary Sue will NEVER “die,” because it’s an essential part of the development of an aspiring writer. The self-insert protagonist allows the young, usually pre-teen or teenage, writer to work through issues of confidence and adversity in a safe environment, and as they seek to improve their craft, will transfer these experiences into the development of actual empathy and good writing skills. That being said, these blatantly obvious marks of an immature writer should NEVER have made it into professional media. These writers should have either grown up or been weeded out long ago.

[@dottorekaoz8679]

@@doriecameron4397 I think the "immature" writer is not young of age. Only that the writer did not age mentally, got out to look at the failures and successes to differentiate on what life can be. The writer then would be still selfcentered like a small child, because she would never have found a border to her demands. Just imagine you would be four years old and then just live life again. Eradicating the failures, speed up the successes, and be "glorious". It is a dangerous fantasy to think of oneself as inherently perfect, but held back by the "cruel" world. But this fantasy also tiks many boxes, like dealing with uncertainty, insecurity, lack of knowledge. "If not for the world, I would be a god!". Hubris to the extreme. Any breaking in of real life into this fantasy world would be considered an utmost threat.

[@Good_Boy_3000]

Any lawyers or paralegals, feel free to add to this list of legal discrepancies. 1) The first court case wouldn't have been automatically lost because Jen/She-Hulk literally saved everyone from an irate lunatic(which she had to be convinced to do), there would be a mistrial, but the jury would be dismissed and replaced with unbiased jurers, Jen may have to recuse herself, something along those lines. Jen also wouldn't be fired for such shallow reasons. 2) Emil would have been charged for serial homicide, so I doubt he'd get a parol hearing in 15 years, of at all. This is just how I understand it, so no doubt I'm wrong. 3) Wong would be a fugitive for forcefully breaking out an inmate from maximum security prison. 4) Runa the Light Elf would at minimum be sentenced 2 years of prison for impersonating 2 federal employees(Dennis, a Deputy District Attorney & the Judge), with a maximum sentence of 6 years. 5) The whole Donny Blaze scenario is a huge mess. He was messing with powers & forces he knew little to nothing about, endangering his entire audience, and an inebriated woman. If the Ancient One could explain in detail the consequences of messing with unfathomable powers, Wong could've explain that his reckless use of the Sling Ring is like playing Hackie Sack with a nuke. 6) After putting his audience in mortal danger yet again, needing outside help to undo his mess, instead of Jen strongly suggesting Donny sign the Cease & Desist and to hand over the Sling Ring, she threatened him as She-Hulk with a demon to sign it. Donny should be utterly screwed, legally speaking, and Jen should be disbarred.

[@ckelly19841]

4 year law student here. She could try some motions, but overall, she is not a very "good/well written" lawyer. The cases ignore a lot of legal concepts and procedures for common jurisprudence

[@jamesneese7663]

according to many defenders of the show "law is different in the MCU" and "why are you asking for realism in a make believe show". hmm...so the same show that wants to talk about real world issues like "catcalling" and "mansplaining" and "female victimization" suddenly THEN says that realism isn't important and shouldn't matter. Hmm...

[@ckelly19841]

Law may be different in the MCU, but the cases that Jen and her firm argue still follow certain legal principles. Mr. Immortal, in particular, appears to follow a more putative spouse controversy rather than a divorce scenario. He may be able to commit acts that would end a "non-superhuman's" life, but the legal principle with death requires certification by a coroner and ultimately a recording in the county recorder's office. He may "die" in an effort to end his marriage, but the episode plainly demonstrates that the spouse, Mr. Immortal, cannot die. As such, he would still be married to every living spouse that was in that conference room. As such, every one of his spouse's would need to be interviewed to determine their subjective belief as to when the "marriage" started and when the respective spouse discovered that she was no longer validly married under California authority. It could potentially be humorous since Mr. Immortal's ignorance as to his hubris of his superhuman ability at believing he can attempt suicide to end his marriage only to find himself in a legal settlement with his putative spouses who would be entitled to a certain percentage of his assets given their subjective belief as to the marriage's validity. This would be difficult to write humorously, but could be done. And as to Ms. Walter's societal problems she believes she suffers through (i.e. catcalling and mansplaining), this seems pretty superficial and ignorant of her cousin's childhood that the show's writers have clearly demonstrated their lack of concern for in displaying Dr. Banner's arguably high ACEs score. Marvel fans more avid than me may correct me if I'm wrong, but Bruce's "hulk" ability was the result of a tragic industrial accident that affected both himself and his father. While his father was only able to withstand the Gamma radiation without significant side effects, his rage and alcoholism was directed towards his wife and son that ultimately resulted in Bruce's continued abuse and the ultimate murder of his mother when she attempted to defend her son from his father's wrath. Eventually, Bruce was forced to confront his father, which resulted in his father's death, and despite Dr. Banner's best efforts to correct or mitigate the Gamma radiation's effects on his physiology, he remained a fugitive of the US government until his services were required in the famous "Battle of New York" episode. Fiction has to be credible, and when your titular character advertises herself as "attorney at law", it stands to reason that she would be familiar with...the law. Her episode involving using demons to extort a person into withdrawing a lawsuit was one that any law student will tell you is something that can result in your disbarment. Realism and poor writing are two different things, and in any work of fiction, poor writing is unforgiveable.

[@Lawofimprobability]

I am a lawyer but not familiar with the show. 1. Seems correct. Heroics in the courtroom risk prejudicing the trial simply because it does not pertain to the specific issues at hand. That is also why the famous clip of "let's introduce some larger social animosity and then you win" being presented as "good lawyering" is absurd. There actually are rules against that kind of argument. 2. Different jurisdictions have different rules. Mandatory sentencing rules are different and tend to fluctuate wildly based on political concerns over either career criminals or "over-incarceration". I can absolutely imagine murderers getting parole in 10 years (much less 15). 3. Not having seen the specifics (was he gambling on not being identified?), all I can say is that helping inmates escape is a felony pretty much everywhere. I don't know if that was considered a "superheroes are effectively beyond the law" scene (which could have been a really interesting point to build a show around). 4. Sadly, people caught impersonating Federal employees tend to get wildly erratic sentences. You can even see some of that in how fake cops get prosecuted and some sentences range from months to years. This is an area where a lot of prosecutors consider it a low priority in real life so tend to ignore that unless there is a political angle. Some prosecutors take it seriously, others do not. 5. Since I'm not familiar with the show enough to comment, I will leave the generic "superhumans tend to use forces that are often public nuisances or other liabilities but people can consent to risks they are informed of". Some broad disclaimers can cover an astonishing degree of risks but that depends on the jurisdiction such as the split over if one can disclaim away negligence. 6. Lawyers may not use physical intimidation to accomplish the legal needs of a client nor may they lie. Actual negotiations might seem pretty intimidating or confusing but there is a clear line between truthful statements and false statements. That said, one of the more recent She-Hulk comic series was written by a lawyer and did depict She-Hulk as being a bit lacking in her legal ethics compliance (like talking to a client in a public place about confidential matters).

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

21:54 It's extra ironic because the show is written by people who've literally admitted to having no idea how to write a lawyer show, Jen is presented as an absolutely terrible lawyer who falls ass backwards into victories she doesn't deserve or simply roundhouse kicking the law in the throat and I'm a paralegal so I atleast have an idea of how things are supposed to go.

One question I'd love to ask a feminist is: If women are smarter, stronger, and all around better than men, how did they become oppressed by their physical and mental inferiors?

[@FelicityAfton-mm9ld]

Not sure if I’m mentally prepared to get into this argument, but that’s genuinely the best question I have ever heard to slag off feminism with. Kudos. First of all, as a woman, let me just say that we are not generally stronger than men, hence we get raped so often. Second, there’s this wonderful little thing called ‘religion’ that gave men such a sense of entitlement that we never really stood a chance, dating back hundreds of thousands of years, idk, dates aren’t my strong point. Third, we’re generally more accepting. Men tend to have a certain standard that they expect women to be before they put their dick in them, which men consider to be the height of masculinity. Desire to please and body shame makes women think they should strive to please men in order to have any self-worth because, hey, manipulation does exist and we DO have mental health issues. Also, I’m pretty sure men cause most of the crime, war, sexual abuse, violence and definitely rape, but don’t let that deter you from trying to glow up your own misogyny. Have a lovely day, happy 2024, bitch.

I don't think that's true. What are you defining as "feminism"? It's vile to say that women should be given some respect and freedom of choice, allowed to work in any field they are capable of? Anyone who suggests women shouldn't be constrained to the kitchen and childbearing is vile and wrong, it's immoral to say a woman can be a good athlete? They they deserve the right to vote? That's still feminism, just reasonable moderate feminism. It doesn't involve hating men or calling women superior or forcing them into every (desirable) employment category.

The best part about her supposed superiority as a lawyer is how absolutely incompetent she is. In a later episode, she doesn't know her client doesn't have a case until it's brought out in court by opposing counsel--by asking questions she was obviously not sharp enough to ask him before she took on the case. It's kind of hilarious.

What would have made a lot more sense and would make she-hulk the Mexico arc is they should show her struggling to get used to her new massive body, it doesn’t have to be anything extreme, just have her bump her head and break shit because she doesn’t know her own strength. Now what I did like from the original scene was she hulk being more flexible than the hulk, but instead of making her stronger in top of that than the hulk, why not lean into that higher flexibility. It could be interesting if she gets super upset, say she’s frustrated by her seeming lack of improvement. She hulks out and her and the hulk fight, instead of being able to easily physically match and overpower the hulk, it’s an seemingly one sided fight with the hulk dunking on her. Then she begins to use her improved flexibility to wrap herself around the hulk and tries to choke him out, while this surprises the hulk she still loses with him slamming her on the ground or something. Then the hulk begins to train her harder seeing her potential while being more compassionate.That would be an acceptable training arc.

[@SebasTian58323]

I've loved She-Hulk as a character ever since I was first introduced to her in the Hulk cartoon from the 90s. But now, it's like they're writing a show meant for single feminist ladies in their thirties instead of fans of lawyer shows, comedies (pretty much nothing in the show is funny) comics/superheroes. Even the 4th wall breaks aren't very fun. I definitely prefer other versions of She-Hulk more but I'm hoping that it will get better. One of my biggest criticisms is when Jen is talking about how she's constantly regulating her feelings because she'll be lightly scolded for being overly emotional, acting like men aren't told not to show any emotions besides stoicism and made fun of by both other men and women if they show emotions too. News Flash to women, you aren't the only people told not to be overly emotional. Everyone is. You're not being specially targeted for your emotions. People in general just aren't comfortable around highly emotional scenes in public. I'm not sorry to say that Jennifer's life has been in no way more difficult than Bruce's, he can't even have sex without turning into the Hulk, is now the hulk on a much more permanent basis, and has been dealing with the consequences of being the hulk for over a decade. That's not even mentioning all the trauma that gave birth to the Hulk persona There's a lot wrong with the show from the first episode, and it hasn't gotten any better in the next 5. Overall, don't watch the show, go read the comics or watch cartoons she appears in.

[@hatuletoh]

It's a hilarious irony: misandrists have proven time and time again over the past several years that they cannot competently create quality entertainment. They have a 100% complete, unblemished record of failure. The only film that espouses this ideology that can call itself a financial success is "Captain Marvel," but it only succeeded because disney was shrewd enough to release it right before the conclusion of the most lucrative and popular film franchise in history, and they rather dishonestly marketed "CM" as being required viewing for anyone who wanted to properly understand "End Game." But "CM" has no fans, only political sympathizers; no one today even pretends that it's any good, and disney has so little faith in the film, character, and actress who portrayed her that if they ever get around to releasing a sequel, it's going to be an ensemble film. And that is the one and only "successful" modern ggrrrrl power! movie. Meanwhile, a show like "House of the Dragon" demonstrates that its possible to have a female-led show focused on female issues that even, at times, has an overtly feminist message, and it can still be successful. All you have to do is write a compelling story with interesting characters and refrain from beating your audience over the head with your political message. And the writers of that show are...a couple of white dudes.

[@DespotofAntrim]

'only political sympathizers' very well put. But "CM" has no fans. I dunno man, there were at least 30 people at Brie Larson's recent D23 appearance. I don't regard the perceived feminist messaging in House of Dragons as genuine anti-everyone who isn't a corporate slave feminism. It's only coming from one character, a dumb little girl whose about 5 minutes old and doesn't know her ponytail from her bodyguard's cock. Which actually suggests that the whole 'I don't need a prince to be happy' Disney messaging garbage is just the naive fantasy of a brat. It's amazing that groups of women are still being allowed to run shows unsupervised, it been tried, it doesn't fucking work.

Its underrated, we understand his motives, we get why he is like that, his ranting is like Ashur: "My treachery? Did anyone of you(Gladiators) stood up for Ashur?

I think the fourth wall breaks were supposed to be like Deadpool's, while forgetting that the viewers were primed from the silly opening credits on. People that already knew Deadpool were expecting it, people that didn't became ready for anything. And they went out of their way to make him likable to the audience so it wouldn't feel arrogant, unearned, and flat. Though as in the Kevin Spacey example, it was used to push the plot through his inner thoughts at times, like when he described memorizing Vanessa's face as the doom of cancer was setting in.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

24:11 Yes, that is exactly it and being a Lawyer SUCKS! And again, this is coming from a guy who went to Law School. I've spoke with Lawyers and other people who went to Law School and they told me horror stories about what it's like to be a lawyer. Often you'll work numerous hours on a case, spending countless stressful days trying to get ready for court, which is no where near as a exciting as movies and tv make it look, it's borderline like a project presentation at school where the judges can interrupt you whenever they want and you have to sit there and take it. Many lawyers also develop substance abuse problems or atleast alcoholism to cope with the stress and some will drop out of law for a different area or job. 90s and 80s tv shows made it seem like being a Lawyer or Doctor was a guarantee to a successful life, but while they can make you rich the trade off isn't worth it. Then again Jen probably enjoys that since being miserable is all she has, much like all the lonely single feminist writers.

[@DespotofAntrim]

Very interesting. Very good assessment of how 80s and 90s media massively distorted the brutal reality of working in law and medicine. I'd love to know how many people studied law because of pop culture influence, then dropped out when they realized that, big shock, they weren't cut out for spending 12 hours a day doing research and making detailed notes behind a desk filled with miserable paperwork.

My uncle is a doctor. He’s a GP. One day i asked him if being a doctor is easy since he just works in a regular clinic, not a hospital. He said that sometimes the job is hard, since part of the job is knowing when to reference patients to specialists or not. He used the example of a person having a lump on them. It could be a tumour, or it could be something harmless. If it was a tumour, and he thought it was a harmless lump so didn’t send the person to a specialist, then that person’s future trouble is because of him.

Gintama is a cartoon where the producers fourth-wall breaking technique is phenomenal. This is also helped by the talented Japanese VAs. Even though the audience knows full well what Shinpachi, Kagura, and Gintoki's personalities are like, entire opening scenes, is just a static shot of their apartment while they talk shit about the producers. Like friends talking about how terrible their boss is during lunch. How they're lucky they didn't kicked off the air and Sunrise was allowed to renew it for season two. The main character only looked directly at the audience once for the entirety of the of the show. That too, for a brief period of comedic relief before the opening theme.

To be fair, no sane person would think that a modern feminist could write a compelling character, let alone a show. Their "women are better than men from birth", "women can do anything better than men without much training" and "women are the victim of men" mentalities are the perfect shit storm for shit writing. With this kind of shit writing, younger generation would learn extremely wrong lessons, lessons that will make life kick them back into reality, hard. What do you think they would do? learn new things and be better? Nah, they will reject the reality and become another feminist who will scream "patriarchy", hating on men, and trying to bring their imaginary world into reality.

[@DespotofAntrim]

It's actually a very depressing, pessimistic message, 'Your talents are the sum total of what you are born with, end of.' Self-growth, improvement and salvation are antithetical to the beliefs of the cultural Marxist filth writing these shows. I recall hearing a story about a guy whose girlfriend took a few MMA classes then insisted he wrestle her, he reluctantly agreed, they wrestled and she was shocked and upset at how easily he overpowered her.

So Apollo is old now but sees great potential in this young up and coming female fighter. He warns her before a fight that her opponent is too advanced and she's moving up the ladder too fast. She ignores Apollo and gets KOed. Humbled, she goes back to Apollo and he tries to train her, it turns out she doesn't need him because she can do it all and she walks out of camp. She wins the rematch, Apollo goes to congratulate her, she tells him to get fucked and calls him a good for nothing, he gets angry and caves the side of her face in with a single hook. The morale of the story is that women never need men and Apollo was always a toxic male loser, and Rocky fans are toxic male losers for liking him.

Don't give them ideas!

The other day this really cute girl working at the Dunkin drive through complimented my shitty tattoo and asked what I do for work (I had ladders and lumber on my truck)while I was waiting for my food. It’s been so long since I’ve gotten a compliment from or even tried flirting with or approaching a random girl that I didn’t even realize she was clearly flirting until I pulled away. I blame feminism and she hulk in particular.

You should have pointed at your ladders and said 'I'm a cat rescuer, if your pussy ever needs rescuing, I'd be more than happy to help.'

The worst part is the writers admitted they don’t know how to write court room scenes. How are you going to do a show about a female lawyer and not know how to write court scenes?

No Henry Cavill! You're not going to find a "nice girl" at your level who frequents bars! Believe me I've tried.

[@DespotofAntrim]

He gave it a shot at least.

Hah, I was just imagining a great ending to the Mexico sequence, where Jen's shit-cuntery causes Bruce to snap & go full enraged Hulk on She-Hulk, only coming to when he's literally crushed her into green & red paste w/ shards of bone sticking out here & there. Y'know, what would happen if the two of them _actually_ fought.

[@DespotofAntrim]

The fact that Bruce is a considerably experienced warrior and Jen has never thrown a shot in anger apparently doesn't matter, she's just too awesome to be defeated by a mere hulk.

I enjoyed the scene comparisons with other films, but I also wanted to see comparisons to the comic books.
