    repeat after me, please and then learn why the distinction is important.

    "I haven't found it funny" emphasis on I here.

    sense of humor being subjective and all, YOU not finding it funny is perfectly valid. claiming that its not funny period, just because jokes don't land for YOU - is NOT valid.

    You are absolutely right. No one minded this. Care to guess why?

    Maybe, just maybe it was because both of those franchises excelled at writing and oozed creativity. The characters were measured on the merrits of the story and the characters themselves, not on how or for which reason the writer created them.

    Why doesn't it work with She-Hulk? Because the writer is doing everything in her power to never let us forget how much of a self-insert the character is and because her story is not even in the same general universe of quality then either Potter or Star Wars.

    And on a general note:

    A new week, another set of asshole males that exist solely to annoy Jennifer. She just can't get a break from those horrible men... speaking to her... in a bar!!! Geezus. I have no clue how she tolerates life.

    As before the only good thing is Wong and it is hillarious how the writer thinks that she can play that off as a joke, when clearly it is absolutely the full truth.

    I see we're still at "angry pseudo-fans continue to force themselves to watch a show they clearly hate, and somehow it's the show's fault for not catering to their extremely narrow niche".

    I am a Star Wars fan ... anyone who thinks Star Wars ever had "good writing" is looking through nostalgia googles. There are tons of issues with even the OT.

    And do I really need to bring up all the problems have with the writing in Harry Potter?

    Creativity is the only thing you got and that is highly subjective on what is creative.

    Star Wars ripped tons of things off of Dune as well as heavily influenced from Samurai films and war footage, mixed with politics of the time. I love Star Wars, but you can objectively argue it lacks creativity.
    Harry Potter and the OT are literally rips off the same story archetype.

    So, clearly it isn't the quality of writing or creativity that is the reason people don't care. It is almost like people are making up a bs reason to hate the show rather than actually critique it.

    Deadpool's jokes aren't really funny. It is how Ryan delivers them that makes them humorous.

    They are mostly childish and if the character was done by anyone else most of those jokes would fall flat.

    You still are missing that humor is subjective. You seem to just hate watch these shows. I feel sorry for you that you feel the need to watch something just so you can actively trash it. Move on with you life.

    In the first episode Jen try’s to get Bruce to talk about caps virginity, in the after credit scene she pretends to be drunk to get him to spill in.

    In the first episode Bruce tells Jen they can drink a ton because of there hulk metabolism, in the second episode she gets instantly drunk and falls over because she changes back while having a hulk level of booze in her.

    In the third episode she hulk says she’s a huge fan of what’s her name tweaking singer, in the after credit she gets to hang out one on one and twerks with her.

    The set up and punch lines are all there you just seem unable to recognize them.
    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.

    Comedy is pretty subjective, and since a lot of people already find it comical then it's likely they already have "real writers with comedic talent" on hand. Not everything lands for everybody, of course; so if the show's brand of comedy isn't your thing then that's no one's fault, really. I personally find "Big Bang Theory" to be cringeworthy and painful, with almost zero comedy, but a lot of people love it - so that's a me thing at the end of the day.
    "We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

    you're really missing the whole "humour is subjective" thing aren't you? just because you don't like it and you don't think it's funny doesn't mean there are people out there who do like it and do think it's funny. not everyone thinks the same as you. you are perfectly fine to not like it and not think that it's funny; but that's your opinion. not a fact. so stop saying that only people with a really low bar for humour will laugh and GTFO of this topic, because you clearly don't like the show SO WHY ARE YOU WATCHING?????

    I hate the Twilight books with a passion, mostly because I think it's rubbish and that vampires shouldn't fucking sparkle when they go into the sun. That doesn't mean that I go around calling people who enjoy the books "literary plebs" or lambast the author for writing the book; because I have accepted that different people like different things. not everything is for me. If I did what you're doing I would have read the books and watched the movies and then gone on to a forum about the books and movies, called them shit and started arguing with everyone who disagreed with me because, using your logic, my opinion overrides theirs.

    All of the above is subjective. I happen to disagree with it. But I know, that is a difficult concept for people in this thread, since everyone disliking She-Hulk is clearly wrong, a liar and an evil misogynist on top.

    Additionally your "made-up" reasons are only "made-up" because you and the other minions do not agree with them. The unveiled arrogance behind the idea that you have the right to decide which critique is allowed and which is "a lie" and "made-up" is just breath taking.

    I cannot speak for him. But I personally watch the show for a few different reasons:

    1) I do not criticise things I haven't personally seen. Not that it helps in this thread where a scene linked to everyone here is just talked out of existence.

    2) I want to see how much deeper of a grave the writer can dig her career with her misandrism.

    3) There is Wong. He is worth the suffering.

    You mean they should hire writers who can write down to those with child like levels of picking up set up and pay offs.

    Either the bolded statement is true or the italicized is. They both cannot be true.

    The reason is it is a made up reason is BECAUSE it is subjective. You are looking for a reason to hate the show, so you make up a reason to hate it. How did you miss the point of my post so badly?

    Again, I can literally make your argument for why Star Wars is bad ... something you state you disagree with ... therefore, you know why people are disagreeing with you. And people are called liars because they are LYING about what the show shows by adding to scenes things not sad but they feel the scene means. They are wrong because how they talk about a scene is factually wrong.

    None of these reasons are good enough reason to hate watch a show. If you dislike something, there is no reason to continue through it. We are nearly half way through the series, at this point you should know if you like it or not.

    I found myself unable to get into Stranger Things, I didn't force myself through it. I just go "I watched half of the first episode and didn't find myself interested, so I stopped watching."

    Want to feel older? It is Megan thee Stallion.

    Also, yeah, it didn't hit with me either because I have never really cared for twerking or rap music.

    2013 was when it was full viral, but it was nationally known since the about a decade before then.

    Gotta fill that screen time somehow. It ain't got westwing level legal writing. It ain't got fun action. It just exists. So may as well cycle through old pop culture references. Next week they're bringing back Richard Simmons and they're gonna make a work out video

    I mean... she and Cardi B only had a music video so controversial it was all over the news, especially conservative news. I'm not really into rap, etc either - its one of the few music genres that is not really my thing at all and I still got to hear about THAT.

    but in any case

    there are many things that I personaly do not find funny, and some of those things are going to be controversial (Hitchikers guide to galaxy, Fish called Wanda, even though I freaking adore Fierce creatures and genuinely find it multitudes funnier than its aforementioned predecessor ), but I try to at least be self aware enough to realize that not every bit of humor will resonate with everyone, and just because it didn't land with me, doesn't mean its not funny at all. She-hulk tends to get me to laugh out loud several times per episode, so ..... /shrug
