    Yeah, I was thinking "It's going to be too bad when he turns out to be an asshole" the whole time during their dating montage.

    But the therapy session was great.

    the one thing I didn't get was why a certain individual didn't spill the beans... but maybe that would've spoiled what is yet to come. made things a bit too straightforward

    Definetly better than the last one, the therapy thing was funny and i love how Emil is dealing with things.

    Still, the show is a bit all over the place, with only hinting stuff at the end that will lead to another hint at the end too, rly disapointing

    Fun episode. Tim Roth is always great.

    This show is at it's best when it's embracing it's daftness.

    Not details, but a simple "we were hired for blah blah blah" to explain the feud seems to fit the session.

    I certainly enjoy posting (even though it took WoT to actually annoy me enough to make an account), but the concept of posting EVERY DAY FOR TEN YEARS. Even if you only posted once a day....... that's addiction, rampant addiction. (not even going to attempt to figure out Endus, that's a discussion for another day)

    But hearing anyone with that many posts telling people they post too often or are too animated about a subject is truly ironic.

    But continue engaging in feeding your addiction, this show is silly and I'm well past the point of really caring beyond listening with amusement as Nick Rekieta tries to explain his issues with it.
    No, posting a single post a day to a forum is not addiction - at all. Rampant or otherwise. Doesn't even come close to meeting any criteria of addiction. Or even an unhealthy level of activity in ANY hobby. What an ignorant statement.

    But way to keep insulting people and talking out your ass for no reason.

    aaaaanyways, so call me paranoid but I feel like

    Blonsky's inhibitor blip was more then just him rescuing his favorite pet chicken? there's just something.. JUST a bit off about his reformed state? its just the feeling that I'm getting. also this show is VERY self aware - its starting to feel more and more like a piece of very deliberate satire to me.

    It's possible, though to me it felt more like a narrative contrivance to get Jen to go there. They could have achieved that in any number of ways, but I think the whole shtick about "okay but THIS TIME it's going to be the reveal that actually..." is a nice way to lead your audience on repeatedly - QED, really

    Great episode overall. It gives insight into more than just the usual superhero stuff, despite the obvious silliness. It also emphasizes one of the main She-Hulk themes in general, Jen having to come to terms with the fact that even though she's not a split like her cousin, she definitely also is kind of two people sort of. And she has to find a way to deal with that. This had some great moments towards that.

    And you are the only one who cares how often you were here and for how long. Yet you seem determined to defend your actions. Why would you do that if you don't have a problem with them?

    Yeah, I'm on board with the last bit. Normally dramatic rules would say that of course that was no false alarm, Abomonomination is up to something, but it would fit this show just as well to just have this be a follow up episode to the earlier Blonsky ep, and use it to give Shulkie actual therapy.

    Even knowing that Blonsky supposedly shows up in Thunderbolts, it can either be that he's Up To Something and is then shut down and recruited, or they can blackmail him into it some other way (like how they're presumably recruiting Bucky). I can easily see them having Blonsky forced to do Abomination shit while he really just wants to go back to his therapy retreat.

    That's honestly the version I want to see the most. It also kind of flies in the face of every preconception, including the name Abomination. And Tim Roth is perfect with his jittery demeanor, so you always SUSPECT something, even if there's nothing actually going on and he is genuinely a good guy. Works on every level.

    Seriously, these "content creators" talking about this show are soooooooooooooo dumb.

    They keep saying across 3 different channels "I am unsure what happent in this final scene"

    How can Needle + Poison + Job done emoji be so misunderstood.

    Josh poisoned her!

    Well, apparently easy since you also misunderstood. It was needle+blood+job done. As in, he got her blood like they were trying to do before.

    Considering they made a point to show Bruce destroying her blood at the very beginning because of how dangerous/valuable it is, the obvious conclusion is that they simply took a sample. That's what the thugs who jumped her earlier were trying to do. How do you poison a hulk anyway...

    you know what? I would be very ok with that

    edited to add - yes, that last scene was literally him confirming that he got the blood sample.

    /shrug It's a good show.

    The only real downside is that the CG can be very distracting. If that was up to the same standard that we've seen in the movies, I'd be confident saying that this is one of the best MCU entries. Movie or series.
