Comic book She-hulk: She's such an incredible and skilled Lawyer that The Living Tribunal asked her to help act as a Judge for matters on a cosmic level. She-hulk in the show: Doesn't understand why Thor and Dr Strange never had a problem copywriting their names and had to have it explained to her that Thor and Strange "are" their real names. Why are they writing her as being terrible at her job?
Jen hates being catcalled due to the fact she never gets catcalled, no men in the show even like Jen romantically, they only chubb up for the she-hulk 💪🏻🤢
@@Shiirow lol didn't think of that, but yea I totally see her new struggle now, her splashing hate on her jacked green counterpart, like why can't I find a good man!? Lol
that would require the character to be self aware. She is too busy complaining about her oppression to notice or care about details like how she basically NEVER (onscreen) told the guy she could change and then acted like it was guy's fault for not knowing and freaking out.
Apart from that one time in ep1 in front of that random bar. Where she was dressed like a lady of the night. And that was women that made her look like that. I sense a potential sub-theme of how women are actually the biggest enemy of other women, that this show will never use.
I also love how this show talks about stereotypes But has a Asian that sell fake stuff And a superhero stylist who has the most basic gay personality ever created 😀
Maybe I'm overthinking things, but I don't think it's a coincidence a show targeting middle aged, office-working feminists has a caricature of an influencer as the main baddie. That's just the resentful writers telling the younger generation to get off their lawn and take their tiktoks with them. Stop having fun and get a real job, ya bums!
It’s only a stereotype when people just want to point out the stereotypes. Why does it matter what race/sexuality sells or make things why does it bother you even when this isn’t a woke show.
Well, at least unlike 'Batwoman,' this show doesn't compound its failures by taking itself too seriously, and as horrible as Jen is on it, she doesn't routinely let mass murderers and terrorists get away with their crimes scot- free like both Batwomen did.
In a leak reported on by Doomcock, Marvel boss Kevin Feige believes he has his core audience, consisting mostly of men, locked in permanently and, therefore, he can do whatever he wants as he seeks out that sweet, sweet new diverse audience. If Kevin F actually believes his main audience is going to just endure this Hell Ride through Wokeland with him, he's got another thing coming.
I do kinda wish you'd gone more into how insanely and dramatically they changed Pug's characterization, but that REALLY stood out to me. In the first episode he was in it was just a quick little bit, almost cameo-length, obviously just to introduce him. In the next episode, however, he was the B plot and started to establish himself as a largely professional and competent lawyer, way more competent than Jen I might add. Yet in this episode, for literally no reason, he is suddenly 100% dude-bro right from the very beginning as though he's always been this way, with the intelligence of a goldfish. He was never shown this way before, not even hinted at it, and now all of a sudden we have a character who, last we saw was a relatively normal person, is suddenly a complete caricature that, like Jen's former DA colleague, should NEVER even be a lawyer in the first place he's so colossally stupid. I think after they wrote episode 3 the women writers of this show realized: Oh shit, Pug is actually a way better lawyer than Jen. We can't have that, so they decided to effectively lobotomize him for episode 5 (and presumably moving forward). It's such a freaking insult to the audience and just a textbook example of how the show is trying to do everything they can to bash on men any chance they get.
He was probably based on someone one of the writers had a thing for around the office, then he rejected her and boom, his stand-in is a weird loser asshole now.
to be fair, Pug (i figured he was homosexual) and her dad are the ONLY two guys (up til now) who the show portrayed with ANY redeeming qualities. Even cousin hulk looked like an overbearing, mansplaining snowflake and sore loser. Nevermind that he was right all along about how being a hulk is a complete lifestyle change even worse is that any time any guy points out how this show is so intentional in depreciating men that it comes off as bullying, fake geeks and bandwagon fans explode with namecalling and accusations as if that ends all argument. Pointing out that complaints are coming from "a white guy" doesn't INVALIDATE them but that's how these flame wars are going online and in media. If a boy doesn't like the show, you must be a virgin incel. If you're a girl who doesn't like the show, you clearly have internalized misogyny and must stfu as well... Wtf....
I mean, first time we see him, he's coming in all welcomingly submissive with a basket (nice gesture) and immediately talking about shitting... I don't think hey ever really intended for him to have much character, and that part where he does his own case and is semi competent may have been some dumb luck or error on the writers' part. Can't have a dude looking more competent than the lead, now can we?
They copy pasted Dennis onto him. I guess they were together for a time, the toxic masculinity spread like a virus. Or I presume thats how the writers think.
I noticed this. In this episode he was dancing with Jen's friend like a freaking idiot. And there's actually people out there who love this and think this is great chemistry. *facepalm*
I'd just love to know how titania got out of her charges from attacking an actual courtroom . That's some lawyer she has and that deserves an episode over a trade mark dispute we got in this one. But what a cliff hanger to leave us on , like will her bum look big in her new suit or not ! Only 1 week until we find out . I can't wait!
because the writers of the show don't understand law and clearly don't really think of even the implications of their own writing. Look how Jennifer "proved" ownership of the name based on....a dating profile and testimony from men she slept with/dated. That's NOT how law works. but you know....can't have a strong independent woman face any real hardship or conflict.....
I’ll never understand the people defending this cgi, it’s awful, and especially in broad daylight where you can see the way she walks is totally visible from the effects. The recent episode literally had the conversation between She hulk and her lawyer talking about how bad men are. Can’t blame the vfx artists considering what Disney marvel puts them through on the deadlines
@@Hewylewis that and they’re refusing to accept that their lord and savior Disney Marvel has started to hit a decline after endgame. With tiny bits of decent stories sprinkled here and there.
There's no excuse for poor quality products from a multi billion dollar company. It's conditioning, getting everyone used to consuming garbage while the truck loads of money stay securely in their coffers. Along with streaming services and home door food delivery - everyone stay in your cubes and swallow this tripe.
the worst part by far is that Jennifer "won" the case based on a dating profile and testimony from guys she slept (or nearly slept) with. That is NOT how the law works. EVERY comic fan is familiar with the Captain Marvel wtf in comics where Marvel copyrighted the Captain Marvel name first and got to keep it because....they got there first. Nevermind that Shazam was clearly the senior of the two characters. And that was that. Highly paid lawyers couldn't undo the damage. but thankfully these writers never studied law so no problem, right? But the big issue is that for a "comedy" this is written ONLY to laugh WITH Jennifer, never AT Jennifer. The feminist snowflake writers have no problems in making men the butt of every joke and stereotype but REFUSE to ever "degrade" or "devalue" a woman, even when she deserves it. Even Titania is treated as a mostly harmless charlatan compared to how evilly misogynistic Jennifer's lawyer colleague was last episode. Goes to show how women love to GIVE jokes (that are often cruel) but can't take any jokes. You know Hannah Gatsby syndrome.
it really is amazing how many great female heroes we have throughout fictional works. it all bboils down to how well the author can tell a good story and flesh out a good character. your list of examples was spot on. i can think of more, too. most of mine are video game characters, but thats because video games are kind my thing instead of movies. regardless, if i may speak for myself, I could give two shits less what the hero or vilain identifies as, as long as i can believe they are a realistic person. have a nice Sunday everyone. i thought she was attorney... at... law... is this a crossover between that sitcom wher ethe guy fakes to be a laywer? yeah youre right about the writing.
It’s also great how many of these great female characters the mcu is ruining because of political agendas thanks to Disney. Not. She hulk isn’t interesting in the comics but at least that version didn’t go all men are bad as this show portrays
The problem is that most of the ppl screaming are either trolls or sycophants flaunting their virtue. Half the ppl who post memes about "she hulk was always twerking, look at this page from the John Byrne comic from over 30 years ago that was shut down due to cries of 'misogyny' and has been disowned by Marvel ever since" clearly never read a SheHulk comic from last 20 years or just don't care so long as they can "pwn incels".....
Yeah this always seems to pop up. It can't be maybe someone doesn't like superheroes, the film/show was poorly written. Show might be middle of the road or one of these shows where you like it or hate it. It always seems to go towards the worst thing possible. Putting all the blame on the viewer and none on the writer. When all that effort could of been used to improve the show, if they hate negative feed back that much. For I don't get what they think is going to happen. They put out a poorly made story. It like no matter how many times they try to turn everyone into fanboys. It never works, just leads to the same feed back loop. For Heck, Ultraman Geed, has Laiha Toba. Who does alot of things in helping the main character. Keeping him on track and focus. Along with ensuring he does training, to keep in fighting shape. Along with the story making sure she gets a proper ending related to her own personal conflict. Removing her from the story, would greatly effect it, in a negative way. For what these hollywood types don't seem to get is. People are used to much better written female characters. Unless you go all men in black and wipe their memory. Passing trash off as gold doesn't work, for most are well aware of the difference between the two. For book series out there exist, where elves, orcs and dwarves are the main characters. You can get people to related to many things, if you back it up with good writing. For without good writing, it just becomes pointless.
Not kidding, one comment on fb forum that has a ton of likes "who cares about made up laws in a cinematic make believe universe?" Guess that explains everything and will put all the complainers in their place?
I agree with all your choices, but I'd like to add one more since she was not only a "strong" female protagonist (I hate having to say "strong" instead of just "good" or "well written" these days, but I digress), she was also bi, and held the title of princess before being a "princess" became a bad thing, apparently. Xena. Probably my favorite female protagonist of all time and a damn good example of how to write one well.
“Let’s make something really shit, then when we’re told how shit it is we call them all racists. Against a giant green woman. Then we watch the positive reviews come pouring in!”
My favorite female character from a relatively recent movie is Alita Battle Angel. She's a warrior girl done right. Admittedly, she's probably over-powered, but she's really likable. She's not snarky, mean and condescending to everyone around her. Unlike ROP Guyladriel, or Disney She-Hulk.
Funny you say probably over-powered and she literally was trying to figure out her way in the world.. Was stumbling a bit but once she had confidence not based on arrogance, she really was competent A good character
read the manga. Turns out being overpowered is the LEAST of her problems considering she's a veteran of a war hundreds of years before the story started, with ALMOST as much blood on her hands than the Red Skull...and as the story progresses, turns out more than a few of her old acquaintances are stiil alive....and NOT very happy to know she's alive too. She is overpowered because the civilization she fought in/for collapsed and the story begins in Iron City in the midst of a sort of Dark Ages 2.0
@@cyryc for a first film without any context or precedent (esp since no one except manga fans ever HEARD of let alone read the comic and all the sequels) it needed to play her as likeable and innocent. Esp considering her former self was a born killer (doesn't exactly endear ppl). This isn't batman or superman where just about everyone knows the basics...
I am terrified of what they will do to Daredevil. I’ve seen what they’ve done to Hulk and Thor; you know, two of the original Avengers! He will either be incompetent as a hero and/or lawyer or somehow Jen can beat Matt’s heightened senses.
The question "Why?" rarely fits like it fits that show. The suit subplot made me think about Melvin Potter which then made me think about Daredevil and then I got angry again.
@@shinjiokami the actor is getting paid so he's good. The character on the other hand.....well... nothing says "strong independent woman" like tearing down iconic males to prove it....
This show is an amazing reflection of the female mind. For instance what exactly has She Hulk done to benefit the Law Firm? Other than the advertising of her superhero status, nothing, but she for some reason thinks she has actual worth for her lawyering skills.
With them implying that the trail in the first episode was her first ever trail case, and then her second “case” being Abomination’s parole…she probably figures a perfect two for two victory record is impressive.
They hired her to bring in tons of cameo appearances like Captain America, Thor, or Iron Man (trademark, Tony Stark 2010) but she brought in Abomination and Wong instead. And one wonders what a federal convict or a Sorcerer Supreme can even AFFORD....?
I had the same problem I had when Hollywood executives turned Galactus into a cloud in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer that I had when Scarlett Johansson was cast as a Japanese character from Ghost in the Shell. Or when Ben Affleck was cast as Antonia Joseph Mendez in the movie Argo. Or when Emma Stone was cast to portray a Hawaiian and Chinese woman known as Allison Ng or when Maria in West Side Story was portrayed by Natalie Wood, who is of Russian descent. Eben Oleson in 30 Days of Nights is portrayed by Josh Hartnett and changed the character’s last name in order to not raise eyebrows. The movie is based off of the comic book and the character is supposed to be of Inuit descent. The point is that the Incredible Hulk is not made of pink goo. The Black Panther is not a Chinese trans boy that fights against vacuum cleaners in the hope a giant green woman will represent him in court to dispute a property disagreement. Characters and story mean something. If you want to represent diversity, then use an old story from that cultures’ long history of characters and bring them to the big screen and honor THEM. If audiences don’t like your vision, then try again. This constant race swapping of characters of already established cultural characters isn’t helping to bring us together. Calling everyone who doesn’t like something names, isn’t helping bring us together. I’m as on the left as someone can be, but I’ve been called an incel, racist, misogynist, by my so-called side, for far too long. If you can’t understand this, then f off. Frankly, I can’t stand anyone with Ds or Rs by their name anymore.
I enjoy your videos a lot. It was clear from the first episode that you gave it a fair shot! And that your opinions have NOTHING to do with misogyny, that’s so obvious to see. ❤
When it comes to Copyright law - there's one huge thing this show overlooks ... If you go into a grocery store, you can find all sorts of Dove products. There's Dove Chocolates, Dove Ice Cream, Dove bars ... also Dove Shampoo, Dove Bodywash, Dove Soap, and Dove Lotion. In both cases, "Dove" is Trademarked. The Confectionary "Dove" belongs to Mars - Wrigley, while the hygiene "Dove" belongs to Unilever LLC. How can these two sets of "Dove" products exist in one supermarket? Because THEY DON'T COMPETE WITH ONE ANOTHER. Trademark infringement requires, among other things, that you are creating a competitive product. Because "She-Hulk" legal services in no way competes with Titania's cosmetic line, there is no basis to Titania's lawsuit. OTOH: if there's *anything* about Titania's marketing that suggests She-Hulk aka Jen Walters such as green lettering, heavy green trim, etc., then Jen has grounds for a Cease and Desist order. In short: the whole trial concept is a giant pile of steaming pig manure ... which I can tell you stinks a heck of a lot more than BS.
I think the problem some people wants to dominate over a name. Jen wasn’t even that upset until once again her alter ego making it difficult because her boss doesn’t want to share and doesn’t want to share their figure head for their superhuman department.
Why is she allowed to sell non-FDA approved products? Easy - because cosmetics don't require FDA approval. Book seemed really proud of that one though, didn't she?
the writers admit they know nothing about law. The episode from top to bottom shows it, since copyright laws aren't subject to be overturned JUST because of a dating profile. That is not how trademarks work....
Also clique but notable they win the court cases much too fast in the presentation of the show they display these cases are only about a day or two long that's not true either court case is a reality can take months or even years to do even small ones. Example Johnny Depp V Amber Heard that took almost 3 months
@@jamesneese7663 The FD&C Act defines cosmetics by their intended use, as "articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body...for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance" (FD&C Act, sec. 201(i)). Among the products included in this definition are skin moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, eye and facial makeup, cleansing shampoos, permanent waves, hair colors, and deodorants, as well as any substance intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product. It does not include soap. (To learn what products are considered "soap" for regulatory purposes, see "Soap." But, if the product is intended for a therapeutic use, such as treating or preventing disease, or to affect the structure or function of the body, it’s a drug (FD&C Act, 201(g)), or in some cases a medical device (FD&C Act, 201(h)), even if it affects the appearance. Titania was selling more than just cosmetics because some of her products implied changing or altering the physical body. She was also selling drugs, according to our government's site. And yes drugs need to be FDA approved, grouping the drugs into the cosmetics was sloppy but it is do able.
@@jaysotho don't even try to use real law with them i went on a whole argument with cited facts from our government and won just to get hit with "YOU THINK MARVEL HAS THE SAME LAWS AS OUR GOVERNMENT LMFAOOO" they are actual incels just waiting for a person to get mad. She hulk is an acquired taste, any women i've shown this show to loved it including me. Maybe it is just for us gals, but we love it. I've gotten at least my whole college dorm watching it by now. #ISU
The quickest retcon in tv history- she hulk gets sued because she uses she-hulk as her dating name, but in the very next episode they say she used she-hulk in her dating app well before she got sued
Thorias deserves a medal & a guard of honour. After surviving Batwoman, he now has to wage war with She Hulk. Just stay clear of Rings of Power Thorias, I doubt even you, a man of such will power can stay sane after watching that monstrosity.
Yeah I say to my lesbian friend, a comic book fan herself, to watch this show that she Didn't follow the campain or the trailers ( just because i wanted to see her reaction) And after the first episode she say to me to never suggesting something to her again 🤣
I feel like you predicted something. Because I remember you talking about if She-Hulk hurt that guy in the bedroom, he can sue her for it. Too funny. If they had him confess all those intimate details on the stand, that probably would have been the highlight of the show. So much potential for actual humor.
yeah but a show written by feminists, the audience is only allowed to laugh WITH her, not AT her. Only men can be laughed or look stupid on the show.....
@@jamesneese7663- expect their was only one men that fit that description. Literally one guy was the most sexist in the entirety of the show which is a possibility that he exists in the real world. Just like how racism haven’t disappeared sexism still exist.
To somehow answer the Titania trademark question, she would have to trademark the name the morning Jen got the lawsuit papers. That would imply that Titania set up everything and left the trademarking for last. It's sloppy, to say the least, but it's something. Also, it takes about 1 to 1 1/2 years to trademark a name, but we'll swipe that under the rug.
Poor Titania, forced to wear Randy Macho-Man Savage's cast off 1980's wrestle-mania costumes. Oh wait, that might be sexist? Or is it trans-phobic...I hate myself now and will drown my sorrows in diet Dew and Cheetoes in a basement.
You forgot Colonel Wilma Deering from Buck Rogers who was in charge of the United Earth Defense Force and Princess Ardala who was in charge of the Draconian Fleet....🤣🤣
Nobody is going to point out how she-hulk is a derivative from the Hulk and that if Tony Stark was a competent business man he'd have had all the Avengers names trademarked which would make this whole episode a dumb wasted of time, hell Tony dealt with worse than this crap in his second movie and won!
I know this going back to the Nineties (perhaps before your time) but there was a female lead called Dana Scully in the show “The X-Files”, who often rescued her male lead (Fox Mulder) and no one complained about her. She had depth ( we knew she was a medical doctor; she was a Roman Catholic; her father was in the USN and died from a stroke; her parents’ favourite song was “Beyond the Sea”; her father read her “Moby Dick” to her and called her Starbuck;her brother disliked Mulder, but her mother liked him; her sister was mistaken for her and was murdered. I have not seen an episode in more than 10 years and I still remember all that that.
Well, we all complained about how she kept seeing all the things she did in that show, but still insisted on never believing anything outside of normal exists until she met the thing in the episode…and sometimes argued it couldn’t exist *after seeing it.*
@@nvfury13 True (and very exasperating that was too), but we complained not because she was a woman but because she was determined not to believe; if Scully had been a man, we would still have complained about this habit.
@@nvfury13 Bu this actually made her a better character. She was a true scientist/sceptic. Just because one thing may be true, doesn't mean all other things automatically are. Everything needs its own evidence. Dana Scully - by far my favourite female character ever. And The X-Files is still the best show ever, as far as I'm concerned. We'll never get anything as good as that again.
Jen is still in denial, when it comes to She-Hulk changing her life. She didn't even think about trademarking the name she hates, but is stuck with, for a form she is in denial about. Jen makes no moves (Nikki forces her), to get clothes that fit...denial.
I'm pretty sure as long as She Hulk doesn't try to sell her own merchandise under that name they can not sue her for using the name She Hulk. Trademarks are made for specific things, cosmetics, supplements, etc. also by law the way a trademark works is when you register one a legal notice is posted in all newspapers and there is a wait time of 3 months where anyone can contest the trademark rights if they feel it is being stolen from them.
The writers can't maintain a narrative for four episodes but sure let them play around with a character that has three seasons of established continuity. Matt Murdock deserves so much better than this.
With the running time being so short, there is barely time to flesh out the main couple of characters, let alone any side quests. That being said, it does feel like there is 30 minutes of development missing from every episode, so I guess they haven't been able to adjust to it anyway... there is no feeling of urgency anywhere, there isn't any plot to 'squeeze' in.
Please, PLEASE do not let them destroy Daredevil the way they did the Abomination and Hulk. Both characters have been effectively neutered. Bronski was extremely intense, divisive and edgy, yet She Hulk gave us Bronski Lite or New Age Bronski. As for Hulk, you already know. Netflix's Daredevil is in my opinion the best thing produced by the MCU. I pray they don't sully it for us.
@@bloodysimile4893 I think more accurately he's saying Daredevil's the best thing produced *in* the MCU. I haven't watched the original Netflix series - it's on my list of things to do - but I hear it was an excellent series on that platform.
One thing I've learned from this show existing is that Disney can crap out whatever content they want with terrible writing, bad cgi and manic plots and the stans will defend these shows to the death. They will throw race, color, misogyny, the old man-baby line and more which really don't address the issue but work to basically say if we don't like it we are terrible people. Disney approves of these fan attacks (or people who were once fans as I don't see many old-time Marvel fans lining up to watch this stuff) and refuse to even acknowledge why people don't like these shows. At the end of the day all shows like She-Hulk do is wreck what was once a great franchise and erode any sense of care people have with wanting to see more.
To be honest, if I was writing this show I would have had Titania be the diverse best friend after constantly living in Jen's shadow so she hires the wrecking crew to steal Jen's blood in hopes of using it to gain superpowers and becoming a superpower. I would change Titania to either Absorbing Man or Wrecking Crew that's look are looking to kill her future employer's client for their boss who want him dead.
The bad thing is that the writers have yet to explain why Titania has powers, and why she's after She-Hulk. If it's supposed to bring in non-comic book fans, at least follow the basics of storytelling.
You need top call out idiots more often, bro... That wasnt just well executed but also cathartic AF. A perfect blend of enjoying someone not taking shit they dont deserve (which is one of my favortie things in life) while also pulverizing some pathetic, rxtard "victim" who has to lie, cheat and steal to find something to be offended about so their hollow existence seems just a little bit less parthetic and sad (which is also one of my favorite things in life). Trimed with logic, reason, humor and a little bit of spice. A very well rounded, perfectly cooks dish, absolutely delicious. Bon'apetit. Well done, good sir.
Invisibility seems to be the go to when it's a current female superhero. Victories are handed to them no chance of struggle, near death, and that makes them better or stronger.
You can sell NON FDA approved "non conventional or 'holistic' medicines' up to certain criteria, but what those criteria are are beyond me. Im a computer technician. Also farmers markets with home made jams and preserves can be sold without FDA approval so.. there are ways between the rules. we all know the writers didnt think this far ahead though.
Actually, I’m pretty sure that the guy who made Daredevil’s suit was arrested after getting caught making another suit because Fisk was back at it. So I guess the writers actually have an excuse there. (Sigh)… No Way Home had a much lighter tone than the Daredevil series (especially for the half that he cameos in). But they were still able to nail his character in it. But I’m not so sure this series will.
That's a good point. If you do the character justice, they can be more comedic (or serious, etc). The problem with this show, and a few other recent ones, they're not really doing the characters justice, so it's hard to give people credit who do that.
"This guy is just selling bootleg Avengers merch, sort of. It's Avongers or Avingers. With the character designs fucked up." So, basically what Jessica Gao is doing to She-hulk....
I love that idea. to add to your idea that would be a cool way of introducing Abominatrix. I know Florence Sharples was Abominatrix in the comics. Marvel for the past couple years have not used the source material. So why start now? I've wanted a She Hulk show/movie close to 15 years and I'm still waiting. Thor has had many other names the one I'm more familiar with is Eric Masterson. Who debuted in the late 80's. Which is because if Thor's without Mjolnir for too long he'll revert to human form.
you could easily have Nikki either become jealous of all the fame Jen is getting as She-Hulk so seeks a way to become as famous as She-Hulk so seeks to expose herself to gamma radiation to gain super powers.
Loved the beginning rant and I agree this being a product placement episode rather than them writing something leaving the wrecking crew out of the show for 2 weeks.
You know there could have been a way for Jen to win without having to rake herself over the coals by having her ex tinder dates on the stand. Have her boss there instead. After all he was the one that wanted She-Hulk to be the face of his company’s super powers law division. So Jen has been using the She-Hulk name as part of her job. Honestly even if Jen didn’t trademark it, because she’s been doing nothing but comparing about it. Why didn’t her boss do it? Didn’t she have to shoot any commercials averting the firm she works for?
Your rants are on par with Rageaholic. You had me rolling with laughter. I get much more out of your presentation than the show, and it makes me grateful for She Hulk, because it provides you with ammunition, and that makes it the best show on TV now. I cannot wait to hear you when they emasculate and destroy Matt Murdock. I cannot wait.
I haven’t even picked up the show because I know how much time I’d be wasting by doing so, and here I am more entertained by watching video essays about its downfall
She hulk is actually a pretty good character in the comics. There is no excuse for this show to be this bad unless the author/writer of the show refused to do any research on the character at all!
She was a good character. Right around 2014 or 2015 they turned the character into another hardcore feminazi. At one time they even had her more buffed up than the Hulk. She looked like an 8 foot tall roided out male bodybuilder with A cup implants. She also started going around and beating up misogynistic men who mistreated women. Of course she was showing up Jason Aaron's weak version of Thor left and right. She was stronger. She was more durable. She was a better fighter than him. Modern Marvel comics are such trash.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 I’d be surprised if they even read the Wikipedia page for she hulk! Even that would give them more of an idea of who she is in the garbage they’re putting up!

Re: Copyright, actually if it could be confused for the original by an "average person" then yes, you can get in legal trouble.

OMG Your review is awesome. I agree with every single thing you've said. I don't even know why She Hulk was even produced. It may end up being the only series that will not return to Disney because it seriously stinks.
It's messed up that men have to prove that they are not sexist b4 they can criticize a female character, actress, writer or director but women can criticize men openly even for sexist reasons society accepts it
Better idea: In order to get away from the She-Hulk name, Jen uses "Titania" at first for her doomed Tinder profile and later with her professional life. All goes well until Mary MacPherran trademarks the name, going so far as to further cement Walters as She-Hulk in a public cease-and-desist just to stick it to her.
13:08 I’m still convinced it was Samuel Sterns/The Leader who sent the Wrecking Crew after her, especially since Earth’s Mightiest Heroes had Sterns commanding the Wrecking Crew and they later get a gamma power boost.
I totally understand why Gao, the head writer for this show, was rejected three times by Marvel Studios. If this is her crown jewel, I suggest she find another profession or just stay the hell away from MCU. She wanted to write for Shang Chi but I'm glad she didn't. She could have single handedly ruin a good character. Instead, she is ruining She-Hulk weekly.
All of Jen's contracts with GLK&H would be using the name Jennifer Walters. Jen is contracted to be in She-Hulk form, but that contract would be signed by Jennifer Walters, not She-Hulk.
Jen is the worst lawyer iv ever seen and I’m not surprised she only got her job because she’s green, also if someone trade marks a name you can’t just take it off them because you want it more,you have to buy it off them.
As cool as the idea of her assistant being the one who hired the Wrecking Crew is, I’ve heard that Marvel is FINALLY following up on Samuels Sterns becoming the Leader in The Incredible Hulk and that he’s going to be the main villain of Captain America New World Order, so honestly, I would love for the Wrecking Crew’s boss to be revealed to be the Leader and have him try to get Jen’s blood to create a Hulk army. Anything other than Titania being revealed to be the one trying to get it.
You know what I just realized... the guy playing Pug played Prometheus, the main villain of Arrow Season 5. Dude went from the Arrowverse to She Hulk... just let that sink in.
And don't forget Demon Slayer. Kanao, Shinobu, Mitsuri, and Nesuko are amazing in their own rite. Hell Shinobu can't slice demons' heads off because of her small frame, but instead of complaining; she created her breathing style called Insect Breathing so she could slay demons. Even Mitsuri created her own breathing style so she created her own breathing style called Love Breathing because she sucked at Flame Breathing. These female characters stand on their own rite.
XD Man remember when Daredevil built up getting the suit and it was a great 'Thats Daredevil and he's not playing around no more!' moment. And this show just kinda tosses this dude in...like I don't remember if Melvin is dead, or in hiding, buuuuuut we could have used Melvinnnnn. Actually no. I don't want any character I like near this show....RIP wong.
She Hulk is a comedy show about a superhero lawyer, except it isn't funny, doesn't feature any heroics, super or otherwise, and never makes any real use of the fact that the main character is a lawyer.
Her boss made her go after the She-Hulk name. He hired She-Hulk to be the face of their law firms superhuman division. Any unapproved uses of the name by outside companies could damage GLK&H's reputation. Without Holliway's prompting, Jen would have been annoyed, but done nothing. (It's part of Jen's submissive personality, they were highlighting in this episode.)
You know, I just realized they pulled a Rey-Kylo with She-Hulk. From what I've heard, Titania is one of She-Hulk's archrivals. And yet, when Titania rolls into the show for the first time, they have She-Hulk destroy her like it's nothing.
I must agree with you. It was a poorly-written episode. How Jennifer Walters/She Hulk be a competent lawyer and not know anything about copyright and trademark laws? It was kind of embarrassing that her Best Buy clerk-brother knew more about the law than she did.
Comic book She-hulk: She's such an incredible and skilled Lawyer that The Living Tribunal asked her to help act as a Judge for matters on a cosmic level.
She-hulk in the show: Doesn't understand why Thor and Dr Strange never had a problem copywriting their names and had to have it explained to her that Thor and Strange "are" their real names. Why are they writing her as being terrible at her job?
They don't mention Captain America who apparently never copyrighted his own name.

that would require the character to be self aware. She is too busy complaining about her oppression to notice or care about details like how she basically NEVER (onscreen) told the guy she could change and then acted like it was guy's fault for not knowing and freaking out.
Apart from that one time in ep1 in front of that random bar. Where she was dressed like a lady of the night. And that was women that made her look like that.
I sense a potential sub-theme of how women are actually the biggest enemy of other women, that this show will never use.

Maybe I'm overthinking things, but I don't think it's a coincidence a show targeting middle aged, office-working feminists has a caricature of an influencer as the main baddie.

@@AliRadicali You might be onto something here...
"Progressive" shows always hold on the strongest to stereotypes, so its not surprising.
It’s only a stereotype when people just want to point out the stereotypes. Why does it matter what race/sexuality sells or make things why does it bother you even when this isn’t a woke show.
This is definitely the MCU’s version of Batwoman, what else can you say 😂😅😂😅
If I had to paraphrase this show in one sentence this would be it. 😂 “ladies and gentlemen meet She Hulk, the mcu’s Batwoman”
Well, at least unlike 'Batwoman,' this show doesn't compound its failures by taking itself too seriously, and as horrible as Jen is on it, she doesn't routinely let mass murderers and terrorists get away with their crimes scot- free like both Batwomen did.

In a leak reported on by Doomcock, Marvel boss Kevin Feige believes he has his core audience, consisting mostly of men, locked in permanently and, therefore, he can do whatever he wants as he seeks out that sweet, sweet new diverse audience.

Lol doomcock

I do kinda wish you'd gone more into how insanely and dramatically they changed Pug's characterization, but that REALLY stood out to me. In the first episode he was in it was just a quick little bit, almost cameo-length, obviously just to introduce him. In the next episode, however, he was the B plot and started to establish himself as a largely professional and competent lawyer, way more competent than Jen I might add. Yet in this episode, for literally no reason, he is suddenly 100% dude-bro right from the very beginning as though he's always been this way, with the intelligence of a goldfish. He was never shown this way before, not even hinted at it, and now all of a sudden we have a character who, last we saw was a relatively normal person, is suddenly a complete caricature that, like Jen's former DA colleague, should NEVER even be a lawyer in the first place he's so colossally stupid.
I think after they wrote episode 3 the women writers of this show realized: Oh shit, Pug is actually a way better lawyer than Jen. We can't have that, so they decided to effectively lobotomize him for episode 5 (and presumably moving forward). It's such a freaking insult to the audience and just a textbook example of how the show is trying to do everything they can to bash on men any chance they get.
He was probably based on someone one of the writers had a thing for around the office, then he rejected her and boom, his stand-in is a weird loser asshole now.
to be fair, Pug (i figured he was homosexual) and her dad are the ONLY two guys (up til now) who the show portrayed with ANY redeeming qualities. Even cousin hulk looked like an overbearing, mansplaining snowflake and sore loser. Nevermind that he was right all along about how being a hulk is a complete lifestyle change
even worse is that any time any guy points out how this show is so intentional in depreciating men that it comes off as bullying, fake geeks and bandwagon fans explode with namecalling and accusations as if that ends all argument. Pointing out that complaints are coming from "a white guy" doesn't INVALIDATE them but that's how these flame wars are going online and in media. If a boy doesn't like the show, you must be a virgin incel. If you're a girl who doesn't like the show, you clearly have internalized misogyny and must stfu as well...
Wtf....
I mean, first time we see him, he's coming in all welcomingly submissive with a basket (nice gesture) and immediately talking about shitting... I don't think hey ever really intended for him to have much character, and that part where he does his own case and is semi competent may have been some dumb luck or error on the writers' part. Can't have a dude looking more competent than the lead, now can we?
They copy pasted Dennis onto him. I guess they were together for a time, the toxic masculinity spread like a virus.
Or I presume thats how the writers think.
I noticed this. In this episode he was dancing with Jen's friend like a freaking idiot.
And there's actually people out there who love this and think this is great chemistry. *facepalm*
I'd just love to know how titania got out of her charges from attacking an actual courtroom . That's some lawyer she has and that deserves an episode over a trade mark dispute we got in this one. But what a cliff hanger to leave us on , like will her bum look big in her new suit or not ! Only 1 week until we find out . I can't wait!
because the writers of the show don't understand law and clearly don't really think of even the implications of their own writing. Look how Jennifer "proved" ownership of the name based on....a dating profile and testimony from men she slept with/dated. That's NOT how law works. but you know....can't have a strong independent woman face any real hardship or conflict.....
It was all Saul Goodman’a doing
Right! She destroys a courtroom but is out and about 1 day later
She's rich that maybe the reason

There's no excuse for poor quality products from a multi billion dollar company. It's conditioning, getting everyone used to consuming garbage while the truck loads of money stay securely in their coffers. Along with streaming services and home door food delivery - everyone stay in your cubes and swallow this tripe.
the worst part by far is that Jennifer "won" the case based on a dating profile and testimony from guys she slept (or nearly slept) with. That is NOT how the law works. EVERY comic fan is familiar with the Captain Marvel wtf in comics where Marvel copyrighted the Captain Marvel name first and got to keep it because....they got there first. Nevermind that Shazam was clearly the senior of the two characters. And that was that. Highly paid lawyers couldn't undo the damage.
but thankfully these writers never studied law so no problem, right? But the big issue is that for a "comedy" this is written ONLY to laugh WITH Jennifer, never AT Jennifer. The feminist snowflake writers have no problems in making men the butt of every joke and stereotype but REFUSE to ever "degrade" or "devalue" a woman, even when she deserves it. Even Titania is treated as a mostly harmless charlatan compared to how evilly misogynistic Jennifer's lawyer colleague was last episode. Goes to show how women love to GIVE jokes (that are often cruel) but can't take any jokes. You know Hannah Gatsby syndrome.
it really is amazing how many great female heroes we have throughout fictional works. it all bboils down to how well the author can tell a good story and flesh out a good character. your list of examples was spot on. i can think of more, too. most of mine are video game characters, but thats because video games are kind my thing instead of movies. regardless, if i may speak for myself, I could give two shits less what the hero or vilain identifies as, as long as i can believe they are a realistic person. have a nice Sunday everyone.
i thought she was attorney... at... law... is this a crossover between that sitcom wher ethe guy fakes to be a laywer?
yeah youre right about the writing.
It’s also great how many of these great female characters the mcu is ruining because of political agendas thanks to Disney. Not. She hulk isn’t interesting in the comics but at least that version didn’t go all men are bad as this show portrays
The writers have gone on record admitting they *can't write lawyer or court scenes.*
The problem is that most of the ppl screaming are either trolls or sycophants flaunting their virtue. Half the ppl who post memes about "she hulk was always twerking, look at this page from the John Byrne comic from over 30 years ago that was shut down due to cries of 'misogyny' and has been disowned by Marvel ever since" clearly never read a SheHulk comic from last 20 years or just don't care so long as they can "pwn incels".....
Yeah this always seems to pop up. It can't be maybe someone doesn't like superheroes, the film/show was poorly written. Show might be middle of the road or one of these shows where you like it or hate it. It always seems to go towards the worst thing possible. Putting all the blame on the viewer and none on the writer. When all that effort could of been used to improve the show, if they hate negative feed back that much. For I don't get what they think is going to happen. They put out a poorly made story. It like no matter how many times they try to turn everyone into fanboys. It never works, just leads to the same feed back loop.
For Heck, Ultraman Geed, has Laiha Toba. Who does alot of things in helping the main character. Keeping him on track and focus. Along with ensuring he does training, to keep in fighting shape. Along with the story making sure she gets a proper ending related to her own personal conflict. Removing her from the story, would greatly effect it, in a negative way. For what these hollywood types don't seem to get is. People are used to much better written female characters. Unless you go all men in black and wipe their memory. Passing trash off as gold doesn't work, for most are well aware of the difference between the two. For book series out there exist, where elves, orcs and dwarves are the main characters. You can get people to related to many things, if you back it up with good writing. For without good writing, it just becomes pointless.
Not kidding, one comment on fb forum that has a ton of likes "who cares about made up laws in a cinematic make believe universe?" Guess that explains everything and will put all the complainers in their place?
“Why do I know that and you don’t?” Because the show was written by modern Disney writers.
Regarding Jen's incompetence: She can't be presented as any more competent than the writer's incompetence allows.
Stoopid people write Stoopid stuff!
In a nutshell
I agree with all your choices, but I'd like to add one more since she was not only a "strong" female protagonist (I hate having to say "strong" instead of just "good" or "well written" these days, but I digress), she was also bi, and held the title of princess before being a "princess" became a bad thing, apparently.
Xena. Probably my favorite female protagonist of all time and a damn good example of how to write one well.
“Let’s make something really shit, then when we’re told how shit it is we call them all racists. Against a giant green woman. Then we watch the positive reviews come pouring in!”
My favorite female character from a relatively recent movie is Alita Battle Angel. She's a warrior girl done right. Admittedly, she's probably over-powered, but she's really likable. She's not snarky, mean and condescending to everyone around her. Unlike ROP Guyladriel, or Disney She-Hulk.
Funny you say probably over-powered and she literally was trying to figure out her way in the world.. Was stumbling a bit but once she had confidence not based on arrogance, she really was competent
A good character
read the manga. Turns out being overpowered is the LEAST of her problems considering she's a veteran of a war hundreds of years before the story started, with ALMOST as much blood on her hands than the Red Skull...and as the story progresses, turns out more than a few of her old acquaintances are stiil alive....and NOT very happy to know she's alive too. She is overpowered because the civilization she fought in/for collapsed and the story begins in Iron City in the midst of a sort of Dark Ages 2.0
they made her TOO likeable and childish
@@cyryc for a first film without any context or precedent (esp since no one except manga fans ever HEARD of let alone read the comic and all the sequels) it needed to play her as likeable and innocent. Esp considering her former self was a born killer (doesn't exactly endear ppl). This isn't batman or superman where just about everyone knows the basics...

This show is an amazing reflection of the female mind. For instance what exactly has She Hulk done to benefit the Law Firm? Other than the advertising of her superhero status, nothing, but she for some reason thinks she has actual worth for her lawyering skills.
With them implying that the trail in the first episode was her first ever trail case, and then her second “case” being Abomination’s parole…she probably figures a perfect two for two victory record is impressive.
@@nvfury13 Wasn't the first case "dismissed", and subsequently the reason Jen got fired from her DA position? Can't call that a win.

I had the same problem I had when Hollywood executives turned Galactus into a cloud in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer that I had when Scarlett Johansson was cast as a Japanese character from Ghost in the Shell. Or when Ben Affleck was cast as Antonia Joseph Mendez in the movie Argo. Or when Emma Stone was cast to portray a Hawaiian and Chinese woman known as Allison Ng or when Maria in West Side Story was portrayed by Natalie Wood, who is of Russian descent. Eben Oleson in 30 Days of Nights is portrayed by Josh Hartnett and changed the character’s last name in order to not raise eyebrows. The movie is based off of the comic book and the character is supposed to be of Inuit descent. The point is that the Incredible Hulk is not made of pink goo. The Black Panther is not a Chinese trans boy that fights against vacuum cleaners in the hope a giant green woman will represent him in court to dispute a property disagreement. Characters and story mean something.
If you want to represent diversity, then use an old story from that cultures’ long history of characters and bring them to the big screen and honor THEM.
If audiences don’t like your vision, then try again. This constant race swapping of characters of already established cultural characters isn’t helping to bring us together. Calling everyone who doesn’t like something names, isn’t helping bring us together. I’m as on the left as someone can be, but I’ve been called an incel, racist, misogynist, by my so-called side, for far too long. If you can’t understand this, then f off. Frankly, I can’t stand anyone with Ds or Rs by their name anymore.
Hmmm. Wow.

I enjoy your videos a lot. It was clear from the first episode that you gave it a fair shot! And that your opinions have NOTHING to do with misogyny, that’s so obvious to see. ❤
When it comes to Copyright law - there's one huge thing this show overlooks ...
If you go into a grocery store, you can find all sorts of Dove products. There's Dove Chocolates, Dove Ice Cream, Dove bars ... also Dove Shampoo, Dove Bodywash, Dove Soap, and Dove Lotion.
In both cases, "Dove" is Trademarked. The Confectionary "Dove" belongs to Mars - Wrigley, while the hygiene "Dove" belongs to Unilever LLC. How can these two sets of "Dove" products exist in one supermarket? Because THEY DON'T COMPETE WITH ONE ANOTHER. Trademark infringement requires, among other things, that you are creating a competitive product. Because "She-Hulk" legal services in no way competes with Titania's cosmetic line, there is no basis to Titania's lawsuit.
OTOH: if there's *anything* about Titania's marketing that suggests She-Hulk aka Jen Walters such as green lettering, heavy green trim, etc., then Jen has grounds for a Cease and Desist order.
In short: the whole trial concept is a giant pile of steaming pig manure ... which I can tell you stinks a heck of a lot more than BS.
Ouch this is pretty bad… writers really don’t know anything about law 😂
Exactly, they are both legally obligated to use the name. Daredevil is screwed big time.
I think the problem some people wants to dominate over a name. Jen wasn’t even that upset until once again her alter ego making it difficult because her boss doesn’t want to share and doesn’t want to share their figure head for their superhuman department.
Why is she allowed to sell non-FDA approved products? Easy - because cosmetics don't require FDA approval. Book seemed really proud of that one though, didn't she?
the writers admit they know nothing about law. The episode from top to bottom shows it, since copyright laws aren't subject to be overturned JUST because of a dating profile. That is not how trademarks work....
I see. I guess Book sucks at her job too apparently.
Also clique but notable they win the court cases much too fast in the presentation of the show they display these cases are only about a day or two long that's not true either court case is a reality can take months or even years to do even small ones. Example Johnny Depp V Amber Heard that took almost 3 months
@@jamesneese7663 The FD&C Act defines cosmetics by their intended use, as "articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the human body...for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance" (FD&C Act, sec. 201(i)). Among the products included in this definition are skin moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, eye and facial makeup, cleansing shampoos, permanent waves, hair colors, and deodorants, as well as any substance intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product. It does not include soap. (To learn what products are considered "soap" for regulatory purposes, see "Soap."

To somehow answer the Titania trademark question, she would have to trademark the name the morning Jen got the lawsuit papers. That would imply that Titania set up everything and left the trademarking for last. It's sloppy, to say the least, but it's something.
Also, it takes about 1 to 1 1/2 years to trademark a name, but we'll swipe that under the rug.

I know this going back to the Nineties (perhaps before your time) but there was a female lead called Dana Scully in the show “The X-Files”, who often rescued her male lead (Fox Mulder) and no one complained about her. She had depth ( we knew she was a medical doctor; she was a Roman Catholic; her father was in the USN and died from a stroke; her parents’ favourite song was “Beyond the Sea”; her father read her “Moby Dick” to her and called her Starbuck;her brother disliked Mulder, but her mother liked him; her sister was mistaken for her and was murdered. I have not seen an episode in more than 10 years and I still remember all that that.
Well, we all complained about how she kept seeing all the things she did in that show, but still insisted on never believing anything outside of normal exists until she met the thing in the episode…and sometimes argued it couldn’t exist *after seeing it.*
I loved the X-Files back in the day. Scully's another one who could have been on the list.
@@nvfury13 True (and very exasperating that was too), but we complained not because she was a woman but because she was determined not to believe; if Scully had been a man, we would still have complained about this habit.
@@nvfury13 Bu this actually made her a better character. She was a true scientist/sceptic. Just because one thing may be true, doesn't mean all other things automatically are. Everything needs its own evidence. Dana Scully - by far my favourite female character ever. And The X-Files is still the best show ever, as far as I'm concerned. We'll never get anything as good as that again.
Jen is still in denial, when it comes to She-Hulk changing her life.
She didn't even think about trademarking the name she hates, but is stuck with, for a form she is in denial about.
Jen makes no moves (Nikki forces her), to get clothes that fit...denial.
I'm pretty sure as long as She Hulk doesn't try to sell her own merchandise under that name they can not sue her for using the name She Hulk.
Trademarks are made for specific things, cosmetics, supplements, etc. also by law the way a trademark works is when you register one a legal notice is posted in all newspapers and there is a wait time of 3 months where anyone can contest the trademark rights if they feel it is being stolen from them.
The writers can't maintain a narrative for four episodes but sure let them play around with a character that has three seasons of established continuity. Matt Murdock deserves so much better than this.
With the running time being so short, there is barely time to flesh out the main couple of characters, let alone any side quests.
That being said, it does feel like there is 30 minutes of development missing from every episode, so I guess they haven't been able to adjust to it anyway... there is no feeling of urgency anywhere, there isn't any plot to 'squeeze' in.
Please, PLEASE do not let them destroy Daredevil the way they did the Abomination and Hulk. Both characters have been effectively neutered. Bronski was extremely intense, divisive and edgy, yet She Hulk gave us Bronski Lite or New Age Bronski. As for Hulk, you already know. Netflix's Daredevil is in my opinion the best thing produced by the MCU. I pray they don't sully it for us.
Daredevil wasn't made by the mcu.
@@bloodysimile4893 I think more accurately he's saying Daredevil's the best thing produced *in* the MCU. I haven't watched the original Netflix series - it's on my list of things to do - but I hear it was an excellent series on that platform.
yall are relentless go to bed
One thing I've learned from this show existing is that Disney can crap out whatever content they want with terrible writing, bad cgi and manic plots and the stans will defend these shows to the death. They will throw race, color, misogyny, the old man-baby line and more which really don't address the issue but work to basically say if we don't like it we are terrible people. Disney approves of these fan attacks (or people who were once fans as I don't see many old-time Marvel fans lining up to watch this stuff) and refuse to even acknowledge why people don't like these shows. At the end of the day all shows like She-Hulk do is wreck what was once a great franchise and erode any sense of care people have with wanting to see more.
Very well said. Im hoping Black Panther can reignite my interest. I have no desire to watch this mess.
To be honest, if I was writing this show I would have had Titania be the diverse best friend after constantly living in Jen's shadow so she hires the wrecking crew to steal Jen's blood in hopes of using it to gain superpowers and becoming a superpower.
I would change Titania to either Absorbing Man or Wrecking Crew that's look are looking to kill her future employer's client for their boss who want him dead.
The bad thing is that the writers have yet to explain why Titania has powers, and why she's after She-Hulk. If it's supposed to bring in non-comic book fans, at least follow the basics of storytelling.
One week: traffic court
Next: trademark

I was shouting "Buffy! Buffy!" as you listed female Bad-Ass heroes - and of course you delivered!
The Expanse was full of strong women and I don't remember the male fans complaining.
Drummer 😍
I don't remember The Expanse
Oh damn, I forgot to mention the Expanse characters! I'll have to remember that the next time this issue comes up.
You need top call out idiots more often, bro...
That wasnt just well executed but also cathartic AF.
A perfect blend of enjoying someone not taking shit they dont deserve (which is one of my favortie things in life) while also pulverizing some pathetic, rxtard "victim" who has to lie, cheat and steal to find something to be offended about so their hollow existence seems just a little bit less parthetic and sad (which is also one of my favorite things in life).
Trimed with logic, reason, humor and a little bit of spice.
A very well rounded, perfectly cooks dish, absolutely delicious.
Bon'apetit.
Well done, good sir.

@@thoriasunlimited4053 nice o7
Invisibility seems to be the go to when it's a current female superhero. Victories are handed to them no chance of struggle, near death, and that makes them better or stronger.
You can sell NON FDA approved "non conventional or 'holistic' medicines' up to certain criteria, but what those criteria are are beyond me. Im a computer technician. Also farmers markets with home made jams and preserves can be sold without FDA approval so.. there are ways between the rules. we all know the writers didnt think this far ahead though.
Our girl SASHAAAA!!!! "What were her last words?" 😭😭😭
Actually, I’m pretty sure that the guy who made Daredevil’s suit was arrested after getting caught making another suit because Fisk was back at it. So I guess the writers actually have an excuse there.
(Sigh)… No Way Home had a much lighter tone than the Daredevil series (especially for the half that he cameos in). But they were still able to nail his character in it. But I’m not so sure this series will.
That's a good point. If you do the character justice, they can be more comedic (or serious, etc). The problem with this show, and a few other recent ones, they're not really doing the characters justice, so it's hard to give people credit who do that.
"This guy is just selling bootleg Avengers merch, sort of. It's Avongers or Avingers. With the character designs fucked up."
So, basically what Jessica Gao is doing to She-hulk....
I love that idea. to add to your idea that would be a cool way of introducing Abominatrix. I know Florence Sharples was Abominatrix in the comics. Marvel for the past couple years have not used the source material. So why start now? I've wanted a She Hulk show/movie close to 15 years and I'm still waiting. Thor has had many other names the one I'm more familiar with is Eric Masterson. Who debuted in the late 80's. Which is because if Thor's without Mjolnir for too long he'll revert to human form.
you could easily have Nikki either become jealous of all the fame Jen is getting as She-Hulk so seeks a way to become as famous as She-Hulk so seeks to expose herself to gamma radiation to gain super powers.
It's very apparent this show was made with a method called "scrapbooking". No consistency. None.
Thank you for your sacrifice sir, just one more episode to go👍
There's 9 episodes actually
@@nathanieldiaz5254 Oh shit I forgot 😳
Honestly, this show has gone so far bad that I don’t even think our boy Charlie can save it
@@captainzachary2477 Still though u gotta appreciate the grind and sacrifices
God willing they don't meet again for She Hulk 2: The search for good writing
I found it funny how they finally wrote someone being a half decent lawyer for once, and it wasn’t Jennifer.
You can add captain Janeway to your list of strong independant women.
I can't think of Janeway without thinking of SF Debris' impression of her, which disqualified her from the list in my mind. lol
All I can think through this review is, "So this is Marvel now."
On the subject of Female characters, Lt. Commander Susan Ivonia from Babylon 5 definitely belongs in that list.
On the subject of LISTING NAMES OF WOMEN WONT CHANGE THEIR MIND
Hey, I couldn't list everybody. lol
I think She-Hulk would lose a court case with Lionel Hutz as her opposing counsel
Loved the beginning rant and I agree this being a product placement episode rather than them writing something leaving the wrecking crew out of the show for 2 weeks.
Daredevil is in for a world of pain
You know there could have been a way for Jen to win without having to rake herself over the coals by having her ex tinder dates on the stand.
Have her boss there instead. After all he was the one that wanted She-Hulk to be the face of his company’s super powers law division. So Jen has been using the She-Hulk name as part of her job.
Honestly even if Jen didn’t trademark it, because she’s been doing nothing but comparing about it. Why didn’t her boss do it? Didn’t she have to shoot any commercials averting the firm she works for?
"The Knigt-Sabers"
You are a man of great taste.
You remembered Samus! God bless you fine sir!
Metroid was one of my favorite games as a kid. I never cared that Samus was a girl. I thought that was a fun reveal at the end.
What? Scarlett Witch wasn't destroying universes for VISION. She was doing it for her children.
Your rants are on par with Rageaholic. You had me rolling with laughter. I get much more out of your presentation than the show, and it makes me grateful for She Hulk, because it provides you with ammunition, and that makes it the best show on TV now. I cannot wait to hear you when they emasculate and destroy Matt Murdock. I cannot wait.
can't relate, just another person to block pretty soon bc for some reason youtube recommended it to me
EmAsCuLaTe matt murdock, lay off the pipe bro fr
I haven’t even picked up the show because I know how much time I’d be wasting by doing so, and here I am more entertained by watching video essays about its downfall
She hulk is actually a pretty good character in the comics. There is no excuse for this show to be this bad unless the author/writer of the show refused to do any research on the character at all!
Well it’s Disney so it’s really no surprise they would water it down with politics. The old Disney died long ago.
She was a good character. Right around 2014 or 2015 they turned the character into another hardcore feminazi. At one time they even had her more buffed up than the Hulk. She looked like an 8 foot tall roided out male bodybuilder with A cup implants. She also started going around and beating up misogynistic men who mistreated women. Of course she was showing up Jason Aaron's weak version of Thor left and right. She was stronger. She was more durable. She was a better fighter than him. Modern Marvel comics are such trash.
It seems pretty clear that the writers didn't do their homework. If they read anything beyond the She Hulk wikipedia page, I'd be surprised.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 I’d be surprised if they even read the Wikipedia page for she hulk! Even that would give them more of an idea of who she is in the garbage they’re putting up!
Great video again. After your rant on fan-fave female leads, I ended up watching some Hellraiser. I had all but forgotten how badass of a character Kirsty Cotton was… def one of my favorite female leads in a horror film.
Kirsty rules.
You know my ex used to gaslight me about why I broke up with him. He asked me why I broke up with him, I told him, he made up his own reason, and that’s the one he uses. Exactly what these people do. We tell them why we don’t like this stuff and then they make up their own reason and run with that.
Re: Copyright, actually if it could be confused for the original by an "average person" then yes, you can get in legal trouble. I was there when someone tried making T-shirts mocking the symbol for a National insurance brand. They hammered this guy even though his spoof art shirts were obviously different.
Huh. I wonder how the Asylum gets away with it.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 Don't know. In this case it was Mutual of Omaha. Bear in mind this was at the end of the Cold War so death by Nuclear Bombardment was a current topic when SAC was just down the road. This guy made shirts saying Mutant of Omaha and copied their font and a Radiation Mutant version of the Indian on their Logo. I believe the legal case is online if you google it.
It's not uncommon for lawyers to be specialized an unaware about the particulars of other disciplines, it's why you don't hire a divorce lawyer to defend you for murder. That said, this is really basic copyright law that even non-lawyers know.
2:10 - Thorias, you may have forgotten Sarah Manning (played by the excellent Tatiana Maslany) and her clones from the TV series Orphan Black as another strong female character without a hint of gender political garbage crowbared into her characterisation. Big respect for the shout out of the Knight Sabra's and Akane Tsunemori from Psycho Pass 👍
Get over yourselves!!
Feminists: y'all hate women
Y'all: BEND OVER BACKWARDS trying to prove them wrong
"No, I do worship women, honestly"
Yes I says the same thing about Pug. He started offas an all sweet "hi here's a welcome fruit basket" to a ghetto-like "yo dog I need you to help me get these kicks, ahite bruh?" guy
OMG Your review is awesome. I agree with every single thing you've said. I don't even know why She Hulk was even produced. It may end up being the only series that will not return to Disney because it seriously stinks.
Apparently, the first episode didn't even make the top 10 streaming shows for the week, so yeah, this is looking like a disaster for Marvel Studios.
It's messed up that men have to prove that they are not sexist b4 they can criticize a female character, actress, writer or director but women can criticize men openly even for sexist reasons society accepts it
Better idea: In order to get away from the She-Hulk name, Jen uses "Titania" at first for her doomed Tinder profile and later with her professional life. All goes well until Mary MacPherran trademarks the name, going so far as to further cement Walters as She-Hulk in a public cease-and-desist just to stick it to her.
13:08 I’m still convinced it was Samuel Sterns/The Leader who sent the Wrecking Crew after her, especially since Earth’s Mightiest Heroes had Sterns commanding the Wrecking Crew and they later get a gamma power boost.
I think that todd becomes gargoyle leader's henchman from the 90s cartoon
I totally understand why Gao, the head writer for this show, was rejected three times by Marvel Studios. If this is her crown jewel, I suggest she find another profession or just stay the hell away from MCU. She wanted to write for Shang Chi but I'm glad she didn't. She could have single handedly ruin a good character. Instead, she is ruining She-Hulk weekly.
All of Jen's contracts with GLK&H would be using the name Jennifer Walters.
Jen is contracted to be in She-Hulk form, but that contract would be signed by Jennifer Walters, not She-Hulk.
OBVIOUSLY.
"Hulk is the scientist, Banner is just some dude"
Jen is the worst lawyer iv ever seen and I’m not surprised she only got her job because she’s green, also if someone trade marks a name you can’t just take it off them because you want it more,you have to buy it off them.
good thing she didn't sell the Pink Sause
As cool as the idea of her assistant being the one who hired the Wrecking Crew is, I’ve heard that Marvel is FINALLY following up on Samuels Sterns becoming the Leader in The Incredible Hulk and that he’s going to be the main villain of Captain America New World Order, so honestly, I would love for the Wrecking Crew’s boss to be revealed to be the Leader and have him try to get Jen’s blood to create a Hulk army. Anything other than Titania being revealed to be the one trying to get it.
Mean, green and straight from her spleen.
Shulk: a monumental steaming pile of dog's eggs.
Your introductory rant was f'n epic
You know what I just realized... the guy playing Pug played Prometheus, the main villain of Arrow Season 5. Dude went from the Arrowverse to She Hulk... just let that sink in.
This She-hulk show is not only an insult to the comics but to women in general.
I hate what they did to Titania, aside from adding to the Gingercide...
I’m pretty sure last we saw Melvin potter, he got arrested by the FBI so Matt couldn’t ask him to make him a new suit
And don't forget Demon Slayer. Kanao, Shinobu, Mitsuri, and Nesuko are amazing in their own rite. Hell Shinobu can't slice demons' heads off because of her small frame, but instead of complaining; she created her breathing style called Insect Breathing so she could slay demons. Even Mitsuri created her own breathing style so she created her own breathing style called Love Breathing because she sucked at Flame Breathing. These female characters stand on their own rite.
I'm pretty positive that The Leader is after Jen's blood.
Especially after D23 announced that he was going to be in Captain America: New World Order.
Episode 1 was enough for me, I knew Thorias will keep me updated on how the junk ends.
XD Man remember when Daredevil built up getting the suit and it was a great 'Thats Daredevil and he's not playing around no more!' moment.
And this show just kinda tosses this dude in...like I don't remember if Melvin is dead, or in hiding, buuuuuut we could have used Melvinnnnn. Actually no. I don't want any character I like near this show....RIP wong.
She Hulk is a comedy show about a superhero lawyer, except it isn't funny, doesn't feature any heroics, super or otherwise, and never makes any real use of the fact that the main character is a lawyer.
11:27 That Wanda joke laugh so hard, she is really a nexus event.
For a superhero lawyer the most we got was catfishing and copyright law.
Her boss made her go after the She-Hulk name.
He hired She-Hulk to be the face of their law firms superhuman division.
Any unapproved uses of the name by outside companies could damage GLK&H's reputation.
Without Holliway's prompting, Jen would have been annoyed, but done nothing. (It's part of Jen's submissive personality, they were highlighting in this episode.)
You know, I just realized they pulled a Rey-Kylo with She-Hulk. From what I've heard, Titania is one of She-Hulk's archrivals. And yet, when Titania rolls into the show for the first time, they have She-Hulk destroy her like it's nothing.
I also wanted to add Nikita Samulle from Le Femme Nikita from the 90's & Sydney Bristow from Alias that also deserves a mention too.
I must agree with you. It was a poorly-written episode. How Jennifer Walters/She Hulk be a competent lawyer and not know anything about copyright and trademark laws? It was kind of embarrassing that her Best Buy clerk-brother knew more about the law than she did.
Ok. I've subscribed. The slowly amping up anger is hilarious. Still haven't watched this show
