    I think


    Says it best, and overall says what the problem with Phase 4 is.

    It isnt about "hating Strong Independant woman"
    Its about having writers Write them the correct way. People like seeing the heroes Journey seeing them Struggle, to climb that mountian, before finally getting to the top
    But phase 4 isnt doing that they are making these characters perfect we dont see the Journey we just see the ending right away.

    Also as stated in the video, Jen is telling Bruce that she is BETTER at him at controling her anger because Shes a woman. Never mind the man Once had his girlfriends Dad use the entire Us Miltary Hunt him down, The loss of someone I cared deeply for, The loss of half the population. Dealing with so many World invasions, Personal Trauma and demons, The lsit goes on But She is better because she has to deal with being cat Called, And such?

    Again Im not against strong Female Leads. I just want them to be written better which clearly, Marvel are struggling to do.

    This literally does not happen in the show. It's being invented wholesale.

    There's a scene where Bruce tries to explain to her how to control her anger, and she points out that women are socially expected to control their anger so she's already well familiar with the process. That's not the same as her claiming she's "better" because she's a woman. It's akin to Bruce trying to explain to her how to put on lipstick; it's not that she's better at it because she's a woman, she's just been practicing most of her life and already knows how. That's not the same thing as arguing that women are just better at wearing lipstick than men are, and it's weird as fuck that you folks try and interpret it that way.

    If your expecting a hero's journey around she hulk's transformation you have got the wrong character. From her very first appearance in the 1980's she has had full control unlike the hulk.

    the closest she has ever got to a hulk esc transformation Journey was the recent story lines where she was bigger and the people like your youtuber acted as if her actually getting a story arc like that was the worse thing to ever happen to the character.
    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.

    That's not at all what the show did. The reason she doesn't have a rage-mode is because she doesn't have a personality disorder like Bruce Banner. And her explaining her anger management is just her explanation to Bruce.

    And yes, looking at the Hulk movies she does control her anger better than he does when they first became Hulk.
    Also, putting hardship between quotes as if what she is saying doesn't matter. Yikes.

    You're putting out some strong misogynist vibes buddy.

    The funny thing is She-Hulk said if she speaks her mind out, she usually gets criticized.

    Guess what happened? hahahah

    So the problem with the MCU is people are voicing opinions without actually watching any of the shows?

    And Jen never says "As a woman, I am better." In fact, she did not even imply it was because she was a woman, but rather because she in her life had experience controlling her anger. She never compares anger or anything like that. It does not happen. She never says her anger is harder, more justified, or anything. Just she has more experience controlling it.

    I haven't even watched the show yet (my disney+ subscription ended and I'm waiting a few weeks to get it back up because I'd rather pay for a month and watch the first 6 episodes then watch the last 3 as they come out) but I really do hope that the lead actress does well in the MCU. She's a fantastic actor. I've been a huge fan since orphan black

    3. He was frozen and before he could adjust to a new world was involved in many fights with all kinds of enemies.

    Between this and the shade they throw at Iron man (who twice was willing to give his life to save others, and did so the 2nd time), just pisses me off too much. Maybe if this hadn't just came after Thor: bad and worse jokes I might have been able to push on, but meh.
    The joke about Captain America isn't a diss on him though? at least not if u watch the after-credits.

    Me too. Maslany was mindblowingly fantastic in Orphan Black, it wasn't just "new wig new character" she actually brought different people to life including one clone pretending to be another and as a long time viewer you actually saw the layers. Amazing actress.

    Sterns didn't get pure Hulk Blood...he got some of the treated blood. And we still haven't seen him since.

    And the only people that are immediately dying from Hulk blood are the ones that are actually ingesting it or getting it mixed in with their open wounds. And these are only from the rare occassions where someone has actually made Hulk bleed. It's not like there's going to be any huge stockpiles of it. It's hard to make Hulk bleed in the first place and he heals quickly. A single ounce of Hulk blood would be priceless. You show me people that are using that to kill regular ass people and I'll show you some fucking morons.

    You're basically creating a problem that does not exist.

    I watched the first episode and it was alright.
    Like, it was servicable but nothing ground breaking.

    Still, it is impossible to deny that Marvel has gotten way more... preachy.
    Like, you have Jen cry to Bruce about cat-calling. Bruce Banner.

    I'm not saying that this might not be an issue for IRL people but the MCU is not IRL.

    In a world where cosmos ending threats come every other year (or even less) the least interesting thing you could come up with as a struggle is some real-life nothing like "cat-calling".

    In End-game we had the whole post-Blip therapy group and the massive tablets with names and all that shit.
    If Disney wants to make a movie about some drama then they should use their in-universe tragedies as a basis, not irl inconveniences.
    It just doesn't make sense, this clearly shows to me that they care more about pandering then what actually makes sense in their universe.

    Also the world in general should be way more... sad (?) in these TV shows.
    Like Clint had some PTSD or whatever in Hawkeye but like that as it. Everyone talks about the Blip like it was a joke.

    I didn't make it to the end, lost me after she-hulk splains how she deals with infinitely more rage line. If I want to be a contrarian I would say the whatever happens after the credits is a way for them to have an out about poking at his virginity, and not because they weren't being serious. Either way show isn't for me.

    Looks boring to me imo. And its not because its a female super hero. A wonderwoman show would be great. Ive just always found the hulk boring, and I'm sure she existed in the comics before this, but I had never heard of her before this show. Still, I haven't watched it so maybe I'm wrong.

    There's been exactly 1 "Cosmos ending threat" in the MCU. There's been a couple of world-ending threats...but most people wouldn't have even been aware of those things until after the fact...if at all.

    The vast majority of people in the MCU live lives that are about as regular and average as anyone IRL. Before getting Hulked up...Jen was one of those people. Her experiences up until this point of her life will be likely comparable to any average women IRL. So yeah, that would include catcalling, sexual harassment, etc. Sorry if those things aren't "interesting" enough for you.

    People are interested in famous people fucking. Like I knew a dude who had a bit part in a Virginia Madsen movie and there was a fair bit of talk of how hot she was in real life. And this was a low tier celebrity.

    If my cousin knew a hawt extremely famous person there would be talking about fucking. Lots of it. Because human beings are filthy creatures with impure thoughts.

    You might be right about the show being not for you. Sit-coms are definitely not for people without a sense of humor.

    What the fuck are you on about? I have never heard or talked about someone I don't knows (like have talked to/am familiar with) virginity (and find those conversations fucking awkward and weird to even think about), talking about virginity is MUCH MUCH MUCH different than talking about wanting to have sex with an individual.

    I enjoy good sit-coms, this is not one of them. To each their own, if YOU are offended I don't like the show you might need help buddy. Never said people couldn't like it.

    On trying to rate Maslany on attractiveness, I think the entire discussion is a bit off base. The comparison shouldn't be Hemsworth or Evans.

    Maslany should be compared to RDJ. She's got that kind of presence.

    Yeah, she did so much in that show. I was regularly surprised when I saw the cast list because it was so short, before I remembered that duh, Maslany plays over half the characters.

    The clones impersonating clones scenes were always a delight, how you could see the layers where it's one character pretending to be another character even though both of them actually look identical.

    Literally not something that was said.

    When you folks have to just straight-up lie about the show, it's clear your issues aren't with the show itself.

    She wasn't talking about wanting to have sex with Captain America. She was talking about his sex life. Or lack thereof. With her cousin who knew him. So well that he knew when he lost his cherry. I'm a little surprised that he didn't mention that Cap travelled back in time to be with his long lost love. Talk about grand romantic gestures.

    I am offended... by your paranoid ramblings and your poor sense of humour. Mebbe you should work on those before exercising your personal demons about virginity on an internet forum.
