I like how Pennyworth: Wayne Estate was thought of in 2 seconds and it’s better than the best name ever, Pennyworth: this guy will become the butler to the famous superhero batman, also known as Bruce Wayne.

I'm so out of touch with modern music that I didn't even know who Megan Thee Stallion was, I thought she was minor superhero who had been plucked from some obscure comic, some sort of sentient horse woman. I had to google her to learn that she's an actual real world person.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

The actress who plays She-Hulk is actually a really big fan of Megan, so she recommended her to come on the show when they need a beautiful woman for a bit part but didn't know who they'd cast.

[@BigMikeMcBastard]

Yeah, didn't realize she was a real celebrity til I read your comment. What a strange name.

[@jacktadash]

My mum heard the name and assumed she could transform into a horse.

[@DanimalRC]

Somehow, the Weekly Planet returned ...

[@apocrypha5363]

58:12 DC's "We want a Kevin Feige" sounds a bit like Mr Burns coaching the plant's softball team. Mr Burns tells Darryl Strawberry: "Hey, hit me a home run!" But doesn't actually coach him on how to do that, or in any way enable him to do that. DC says: "Hey, make me a Cinematic Universe that allows us to print money for decades." But they haven't actually done anything that would enable that to happen. They've just picked a guy, given him no tools or materials and told him to build a house.

[@LegendMkr7]

"I told him to do that" - Mr. Burns

[@Mitcheck315]

based on historical precedent of what happens with DC actors who are also "allegedly" cult leaders, Ezra Miller is probably gonna end up starring in a Sony Spider-Man movie

[@justaramdomwanderer2490]

3 episodes in and I think She Hulk isn't that great. I do that the political agenda goes overboard and is too in your face, without being properly written into the story. But it's not what killed the show for me. The lawyer stories are just too simplist and lazy, the humour is forced in many cases, and the writing isn't good! I LOVE Tatiana. Such a waste of her talent!

[@justaramdomwanderer2490]

and yes CGI is bad.

[@Yourmom753]

This sort of reminds me of how, when my dad and I started watching Arrow, we would call it "Legally Different From Batman."

[@hegmonster]

Never watched Pennyworth, but my mouth is hanging open to discover that the show is actually re-titled to the ridiculous name you may or may not have inspired. What? The? Actual? Fuck?

[@Supernormalbob]

Not only did they re title it to the most ridiculous name in the history of names. Alfred fucks the Queen.

[@adamaldabbagh8396]

It's so great that you guys are back. Hope you enjoyed the break. I'm happy you brought up she hulk cause I got a friend who sent me a picture of she hulk twerking saying how this ruins the character and I asked how it ruined her, also as a side I had not seen the episode yet, and he went on a rant of the spirit of the character and what not. I disagreed with him saying it was just twerking and it was probably just a bit of fun in the comedy series and sure enough when I watched the episode I'm waiting for the scene in question only to find that it was a joke put at the end credits of the episode that did not affect the story or character in any way. Now after masons observation of how some people have something to be mad about for each episode ao far, I really hope that's the case cause I want to laugh at those people getting bent out of shape for something else that doesn't really matter. Love the content as always have a good day and thanks to anyone who took the time to read this comment Hope I made sense.

[@famousdex1782]

Ahhh yes, people mad at the writing and storytelling are just people mad for something that doesn’t matter. Did you learn that from your friends while riding the short bus?

[@adamaldabbagh8396]

@@famousdex1782 lol yeah it's a private bus for people who like to enjoy stuff like a fun show. But I also have to ask if you read the comment cause I didn't say my friend commented on the writing. He specifically called out the twerking which again was a throw away joke in a post credits scene of a comedic show that so far has had a different plot line in every episode. Also just to hit home nothing of what I have personally seen is people complaining of the writing its them screaming about specific scenes such as twerking.

[@Benji568]

The Fandom Menace are the worst culprits of all this She-Hulk kerfuffle, especially the twerking scene and whenever she has a go at Banner for being "better than him" and "controlling her anger INFINITELY more than him"

[@DrBacalex]

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

I just want to say I appreciate y'all. The Ike Perlmutter's of the world were over 1 billion dollars wrong. No wonder his picture with "that guy" always made a sinister sound.

Amazon is so confident in their product… that they won’t allow negative reviews to be posted. Seems legit and not sketchy to me.

[@jackdubz4247]

"fwooooosh!"

[@RavenTheVelociraptor]

The only issue I really have wih this show is like.. that one scene where She-Hulk sorta belittles Bruce and his trauma.. which is extensive. Like she talks about how hard it is for her to have a temper, but then she lashes out at Bruce, who.. tried to commit suicide at some point, so his depression went pretty far. And then the woman that he loved literally died. So to yell at someone close to you, and tell them that you handle your anger infinitely better.. not a great look, not a great message. But since we have to treat everyone equally, I can't say that Jennifer Walters crossed a line and acted out pretty cruelly.. because then I'd be criticizing a woman for being angry. You undersand the cyclical, hypocritical nature of this whole, very precarious topic.. No one can say anything on the internet with out being wrong in someone's eyes. Which is why I don't try to be. If you don't agree with me.. I don't care, mate.

[@CursedWheelieBin]

That’s not a problem you have with the show. That problem exists all on its own. Haven’t watched it since.

[@RavenTheVelociraptor]

@@ThreadBomb Like.. a ficional character's trauma? This is the other thing about Marvel that I'm not liking. It's starting to betray it's characters for that good and easy goofy comedy that everyone remembers from The Avengers. Except.. it's not the same comedy. That humor had a place. This modern Marvel humor permiates, oversaturates, and overpowers it's content. Also, I don't think that part where Jennifer is yelling at Bruce.. that was not meant to be a joke. For once it was serious. And it still betrayed it's character's trauma.

[@chazblank2717]

Dunno if this has been suggested before, but since James and Maso are both Southern Hemisphere boys, and the show IS called the Weekly Planet… would you ever consider switching to a Southern Hemisphere map of the globe for your logo? I think it’s something you could pretty easily and quietly change. Making it a fun detail that would go over most people’s heads with the ultimate effect of endearing you to the fans who eventually notice… like the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo… and looking at it now, obviously also just in the letters.

[@cartoon80s90s]

I found the first 2 episodes of The Rings of Power excellent. Yes, there are differences from the books, but so long as the core story remains unchanged, a few changes will keep the story fresh and surprising for those who have read them. Considering that the adaptation of the Silmarillion was always going to be a difficult task, I am happy with the result, so far.

[@5Ci0N]

They played her getting attacked, as a joke. In reality, she should have immediately hulked out as soon as getting grabbed. Instead they play it as a joke with her saying, "oH wAiT", as if she could possibly forget she could do that or that her transformation isn't triggered by anger or stress. It wouldnt be that big of deal, but considering she hulked out on guys simplying hitting on her, hulked out when she was woken up with an airhorn, and of course the wall of buzz saws; it really shows the inconsistency in the show. The only thing consistent, is that "men are bad". If you want to look at how a strong female character should be written, look at Evangeline Lilly in the Ant-Man movies. No one complained about her! We wanted The Wasp! It's not that the fans don't want female superheroes, we just want well written female superheroes. She-Hulk twerked itself into a grave this episode

[@hollandscottthomas]
