She-Hulk they got the tone pretty darn well imo, her comics were always one you read with a grin and occasional chuckle. I feel like we need to give it some room to find it's legs.

The animation is just a little off, not quite a good as the Groot shorts.

Tatiana Maslany has a ton of range, and has done some really interesting projects - not just the more well-known projects like Orphan Black or Perry Mason, but a number of indie films too.

I like She-Hulk better than I thought I would, but still didn't love it. I think it's more of a symptom of my own Marvel burnout, to be honest. It happened with Star wars a few years ago for me as well.

Tatiana Maslany was so good in Orphan Black that anything is a disappointment to me.

She Hulk was fun. I like the set up of conflicting tones between a fun lawyer show and a superhero show. I also appreciated how we got more Hulk backstory than 4 Avengers movies combined.

I thought Only Murders in the Building season 2 was really solid... not as fantastic as the first, but still kept a lot of the original charm and had some great moments. The confession scene was a great climax. Although I did figure out the murderer only a few episodes into the season, I still really liked how it resolved. It's just hard to have a small-cast, season-long mystery without people figuring it out through process of elimination.

The setup for season 3 looked great as well, although I kinda hope it's the last season. Three seasons seems like the right not-jumping-the-shark length for a series like this.

The She-Hulk episode seemed really short to me.

I will say that while the overall body animation is good, the face animation is to me just poor.

Overall its not a bad show, it was nice to connect Abomination back in. I know the last time we even heard about him was in an episode of Agents of Shield.

It's a sitcom, so it's sitcom length.

The Abomination was in the Shang-Chi movie.

We just need Balki Bartokomous to show up as a Emil Blonsky's dad and this show gets an automatic 9/10 from me.

Yes, and we are from the looks of it set to get some anwsers on the time frame. Presumably Shang-Chi takes place before Doc Strange 2 due to release order but is the show before or after Strange 2?

No it was shown at the end of the episode before the credits as the hook for next week. The after credit was chore around her dads house.


Or if you meant the fight club? It was around a third of the way into the movie. Wong even calls the Abomination Emil.

She Hulk was pretty mediocre, but the Captain America bit at the end about him losing his virginity maybe laugh out loud

3 episodes in, and I'm having fun watching She-Hulk.

My only complaint is the length of the episodes. Listed with 32min runtimes, but the the episodes don't start until the 2 min mark and then there's 8 mins of credits at the end. 22 mins of actual show... TV sitcom length, but with recaps and credits instead of commercials... and only 10 episodes a year/year and a half (if they even do multiple seasons).

I like that Abomination has a harem of older hippie woman.

Overall its pretty good, I think they went a little over the top with the 4th wall breaking on this latest episode.

I thought that the fight between her and her attackers wasn't very well shot of done to be honest.

They also made the wrecking crew even weaker than they normally are.

I found myself laughing a lot at this show. I like all the pointing out of the absurdities of the super hero genre Do the Avengers have health care, where do all the arrows go. I love that stuff.

I hope they keep this relatively power free and focus on superhero law and not the big plot but I have suspicions who ever is running the wrecking crew ends up as the big bad
