IT'S STILL

NOT

EASY

BEING GREEN

Tatiana completely owns this s***. If she's not in the next Avengers movie(s), I boycott.

EDIT: OMG that end credit scene.

 

[Slick]

THIS.WAS.DOPE!!!! I thought Tatiana was made for this role and her dynamic with Mark excellent. The humor was on point and that post credit scene had me weak. Looking forward to more.

 

[RiXi]

Knowing Bruce and Tony would just hang out as friends (even building the bar together) during the blip, I think it made me a little emotional.

 

[Snow Queen]

Really good pilot. The CG is what it is, but Maslany is predictably killing it and I thought it was very likable.

CAPTAIN AMERICA ****S!!!!!

Yeah, that was great. Probably my second favorite pilot from them.

I can also tell this is going to be very triggering for those male skewing fandoms, who love to lean into their appointment viewing of scripted content.

If the Avengers movies aren't just all the women that have been added in the past few years, then what's the point anymore?

On that note, LOVED seeing the Mighty Thor in the Marvel Studios intro.

I do enjoy the updates with each new project. Kind of makes it feel just that bit more special.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

GREATEST. FIRST EPISODE. EVER.

I loved it from start to finish. Tatiana Maslany/Jen Walters is everything. From her and Bruce's cousin dynamic, to her calling Bruce out for projecting on her, to her lines about having to control her anger because of typical male BS, to the fights and then ending it with OG Eve music (E-V-E is still top 5 female rappers ever FYI). Kevin Feige, you have done it again.

Was not ready for that F-bomb either, but that joint was HILARIOUS.

You got it.

Also, I now desperately hope those rumors that Jessica Jones might show up on this show come true. I need to see Jen and Jessica interacting like I need air. Being set on the opposite coast makes it seem unlikely but

EDIT: Plus, Daredevil's there! Coasts be damned!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I feel like this show is going to have a decent footprint. The last two felt a little hit or miss in that regard. Moon Knight didn't have one thing that stood out to social media like Kate/Yelena or the return of Kingpin and Ms. Marvel kind of just came and went. But this one, beyond feeling unique, just feels like it's going to have a lot of fun "viral" moments, organically.

I need to see Matt's reaction when Jessica insults him, while she battles She-Hulk.

I know Chris Evans is finally happy.

Exhibit A:

 

[fan4stic]

First of all: Bruce was hunted by the military and lost his life for years. Jen cited a lot of things, a lot of his traumas, so he clearly, as suggested in The Avengers, knows what it's like to be angry all the time, "always angry", as said in the movie.

This felt fairly par for the course in the MCU's treatment of Hulk things: Take an interesting story, and fill it with a bunch of MCU nonsense. Jen gets her powers because a spaceship made her crash, not because she was a shot. There isn't interesting psychological ramifications as to why she can be She-Hulk and have no other identity, just like there isn't any real reasoning for why Banner and Hulk have separate identities. Needless comedy.

The virgin Captain America discussion was dumb and pointless, particularly because his virginity is irrelevant and he clearly was married to Peggy, so he certainly never died virgin even if he didn't have gross, out of character sex in 1943 or whatever.

I didn't hate it, and I'm torn between whether or not I think it's better than the Hawkeye first episode, but I think all the other MCU first episodes, besides Hawkeye maybe, were stronger written and/or more interesting. Preferably it can get away from the MCU gibberish and feel stronger, to me, like Hawkeye did by the end, and not like WandaVision did by the end.

 

[Iceman]

Just started.

That is not the sentence to pause on, *slaps*

Glad Hulk’s arm has healed.

Two things.

1. It does not seem to be public knowledge that he went back and had that life.

2. What is gross and out of character about Cap getting down? What about Cap even suggest Cap wouldn't get down?

 

[Iceman]

Why are you talking to me like a stray horse?

No, a normal amount of rage (love the way she says that haha)

Airhorns are always a great way to wake someone.

Didn’t take me long to fall in love with Tatiana/Jen and I’m also liking having Professor Hulk here. They have great chemistry together.

 

[Dave McFly]

as a person who grew up reading the John Byrne run of the She Hulk books, I have to say, this show NAILS the spirit of those books, I cannot WAIT for episode 2!

 

[Iceman]

Her baby thunderclap.

Lawyer show.

I really liked this outfit.

I always get recency bias but already this is looking like a strong contender for favourite MCU show, that first episode couldn’t be more fun. So glad we’re getting 9 episodes of this.

I love the relationship between Bruce and Jen and hope we see a good amount of it through the future of the MCU, even if Jen takes the lead from here.

Ha, I read this just before starting and keep mixing up Tatiana and Titania. Do hope we’re getting some good stuff from Titania later. She-Hulk has to be in all Avengers films from now on and I can’t wait to see her interacting with the others. Already she’s one of the best new entrants since Endgame.

What’s your favourite?

 

[Silver Surfer]

Hilarious episode, looking forward to how it plays out.
