She-Hulk is really working for me. Maybe it's the times, but I feel like I've missed a silly show like this.

CGI looks like it's from the nineties though.

She-Hulk has no business being this hilarious. Great use of Benedict Wong’s comedic acting skills this week.

Did have a laugh at the Hollywood trope of casting a super hot actress to play an awkward character that has trouble getting dates.

She doesn't have a problem getting dates though, she has problems getting dates with decent guys.

Madisynn or however she spelled her name made me laugh.

The post credits scene with the Vodka and Yak Milk killed me.

Like oh my gawd Wonger.

I like this series a lot, its a funny throw away series, In a way its like Peacemaker without Peacemakers underlying emotional hooks. At least so far, I expect that will come.

Loved the dating scene with them both reaching for their wallets/purses when the bill arrives and he wins by yanking out his car keys.

I found Peacemaker to be quote tiresome after maybe two episodes, felt like it was kinda repeating the same joke over and over, and the characters were just too obnoxious as people for me to really care about their issues.

Not a bad series, but the intro dance was kind of the best thing in the whole series.

I think he was saying Jenn couldn't get dates, and she-hulk could. Then the morning after the guy ran upon seeing Jenn instead of she-hulk. And to his point how many people here would run after waking up next to Tatiana? It's not a realistic characterization of a 35 year old womans dating life (especially someone who looks like her), it's more just a punchline to show life is funner and easier for she-hulk probably to drive some internal conflict where Jenn feels bad about who she was prior to her hulkification.

You do realize this is a TV show based upon a comic book?

Just making sure we are on the same page here.

The episode was also written by woman in her 30s. She probably has a better grasp on women dating in their 30s.

I was worried for a bit that her intro to Matt Murdock was going to be through the dating app, which would have really sucked.

Madisynn It was pretty funny, but my god I would have to stop watching the show if she were a regular. A little goes a long way

I watched it last night with low expectations. It has a lot of room for improvement, but I'll take it over Thor Dark World.

I'm starting to come around and appreciate that Marvel is experimenting with the newest phase. However, I do feel like the films so far were imagined as larger epics that were edited down to their own detriment. Thor and Dr. Strange moved at a blistering pace in their first acts which undercut the rest of the films, but they clearly went full corn and horror, respectively.

Dr. Strange and Moon Knight went dark, Thor and She-Hulk have gone light, and the rest have landed somewhere in the middle depending on the hero(es).

I liked Thor as soon as I figured out what it wanted to be, although it was a pretty average movie at best.

She-Hulk has been an absolute delight. Tatiana Maslaney was the perfect choice for the role, even if the CGI is a bit distracting.

The new Thor is absolute hot garbage.

Lazy writing, lazier acting, very clearly rushed/poor effects quality.

Junk.

Yeah, Thor didn't work for me Either. It jumped the shark. Is there such a thing as too much Taiko Waititi impressed on a film? Because I think that's what happened here with love and thunder.

Needed much much more Gor and waaay less Greek mythology. Thor definitely need a much darker contrast to the campy things they were trying to do.
