    I think the premise could have legs if they don't overplay it on the girl power just for girl power's sake. Give it some substance, and we're gucci.

    But DEAR GODS THE CGI IS TERRIBLE. It hurts, aaaaah. Why are we back in 2010 uncanny valley territory? Banner's Hulk doesn't look that bad! Oh wait, it's the budget isn't it.

    Ya if you don't like "girl power" She hulk really isn't the character for you.
    All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

    I have no problem with girl power, I'm just hoping it's more than "this needs to have girl power in it, so that's what we're putting in it". A story reason would be nice, which is what I'm hoping for.

    Funny how nobody ever talks about "boy power" in any of the myriad shows with a strong male character.

    Nobody talks about a "homme fatale" either. That's just how certain tropes play out.

    Before I go ever-so-slightly off-topic , I want to say that I hope She Hulk is a good show and doesn't turn into some agenda-pushing woke garbage fire. The character definitely has potential that I hope is used to its fullest.

    With that in mid, here is my fanciful dream plan for the MCU:

    1) Buy Marvel from Disney for $100 billion dollars. I'll go as high as half a trillion if they wanna play hard-ball.

    1.5) Buy any bits of Marvel that anyone besides Disney owns. Looking at you Sony, and you Universal.

    2) Announce that all current Marvel-based projects that have not reached post-production (the fine-tuning stage where everything is pretty much done and ready to ship) will be declared null and void, and forced to shutdown.

    3) Go on a hiatus for about 5-10 years, so that photorealistic CGI gets even better.

    4) After the aforementioned hiatus, announce a revival of the MCU in full-on photorealistic CGI that will make the first Avatar film look like a student project done in Blender.

    5) Ensure the fanbase that there will be little-if-any alterations of the source material. So no being more concerned about snowflake countries or minorities in the community who whinge no matter what anyway.

    6) Make plans to buy DC from whomever owns it.

    I thought it looked fun, but yeah, I hope they were rushed to made the trailer and the final CGI will look better because sheesh.

    Hawkeye and Moon Knight turned out to be pretty average shows, so I don't really have high expectations for this one. Maybe it will surprise me. /shrug

    I fear too that Marvel have developed a time machine and travelled 50 FUCKING YEARS into the past to inject feminism in the She-Hulk character just for the purpose of score woke points in the present.

    Unfuckingbelievable you guys.....simply unfuckingbelievable....I don't even..... LOL

    I always loved the She-Hulk character but was never huge into her comics. Always liked her as part of the avengers.

    On a side note, why do we not have Rick Jones yet in the MCU? I know he is a side character to the Hulk, but this could be the the place to introduce him. Maybe they'll make him into a plot to bring in A-Bomb... possibilities are endless :P

    You wouldn't believe the amount of grifters/man children I block on a daily basis on youtube, and even those I block, they still come back... In a way I kind of pity them, they are so jaded they just see wokeness everywhere, even when it doesn't exist. a solo women in a show come sout then its labelled 'woke'. Then when you call them out on what a strong female character is, they'll fall back onto the argument of Ellen Ripley every fucking time. But anything recent like anything that comes out now is 'woke'... I couldn't live that miserably. Do these people enjoy something that isnt the bubble of their childhood nostalgia? Its very sad.

    Also I haven't paid one single bit of attention to that Amber Herd trail. But I know there are people obsessed over it for some reason I don't know why

    On one side we have @Ihavewaffles who just links vids intead of expressing his opinion (when he knows it's unpopular) because he thinks that shields it from criticism ( really brave) and on the other side we have a dumbass "expert" in the vid who doesn't even know who Titania is , She-Hulk archnemesis ( is this a joke? Jesus).

    The circus came to town.

    Presumably because it's a case of a woman who did some objectively shitty stuff, so they want to make sure everyone knows it happens. But I can safely say I have no information on (or interest in) the topic beyond what I saw in that Legal Eagle video briefly summarizing it.

    The dialogue was pretty cringe, and the CGI looked awful, but honestly par for the course with the Disney shows lately so another skip on that front.

    because 'boy power' doesnt come along with guys upstaging females over and over. girlpower is ALWAYS girls beating boys and it gets cringe REALLY fast. If its girls overcoming their own weaknesses the way 'boy power' does then its fine, nobody is bothered by that, but when you need to emasculate males over and over to prop up your female lead then its awful.

    Ya become movies never make woman damsel’s in distress, take away there agency, make them nothing but trophy’s for men, fridge them for main character development, or other wise infantilize them so men can be portrayed as lady kills, hero’s or just cool because they get the girl.

    I mena its nice to see an update on him, we got nothing until shang chi post credit scene, and he was in his banner form, not hulk, so i hope we get some explanations on that.

    Well i would argue a lot of marvel series kinda being a bit bloated or a mess, because they close everything 6 eps.

    What i do hope is she breaking shit up, instead of just doing gags, what i miss from the super powered heroes

    The thing i dislike was using the applicative, like, maybe it would be funny some years ago.

    Moon Knight was great when it was dealing with the main character's issues. Less so when it was just being a superhero show. I liked the hippo lady, though. So that's a plus.
