Did not have high hopes for another Marvel TV series as most of their efforts to date have been poor to average at best. Well this falls in that same category as the series seems to again forget what made Marvel films great which was an interesting hero that does not preach and just is just plain fun and interesting to watch and not always the bestest evar hero, but actually has some character arch. Unfortunately Disney has decided not to hire quality writers for this series again as they have already said that they have no idea how to write for a law series, yet they are making a law based comedy (not sure what they have written counts as comedy) series with no knowledge how to write one - and yep that shows in the story.
The series looks like it has improved the CGI from the trailers, but not by much as still looks rather cheap, especially with our the character, She-Hulk.
The main bright spot of this series is Tatiana Maslany, who is pretty charming and a great actor but unfortunately can not overcome the grim writing and terrible "jokes" that weight this series down.
Disney keeps making trash for their streaming platform, so keep yourself from getting angry and 'hulking' out, and avoid this series, try watching a much better written show that wants to entertain like these animated series, Solar Opposites (Disney+/Hulu) or Invincible (Prime). If you are looking for a quality live action Superhero show, then watch The Suicide Squad and then the associated Peacemaker show - both fun and entertaining with quality writing.
If you still want to check out She-Hulk then search out the John Byrne written comic (can probably be found today in either a digital format/platform or in a graphic novel) from the 80's - great progressive story and fantastic artwork makes the Disney+ series look embarrassing compared to the comic - this is what they should have heavily borrowed from to make the TV show shine.
_She-Hulk: Attorney at Law_ at times is some of the better MCU Disney+ content that has come out, but at other times is some of the most bland and boring. Uneven is the best word that I can think of to describe this season. There was no real direction this season was headed and that was a big negative for me. From a rushed origin story that takes up all but one episode and some cringy dialogue sprinkled throughout, the series never found its footing. For a comedy series, I laughed at a couple jokes, but most jokes only received a slight grin from me. Despite those complaints, the show is carried a great performance from Tatiana Maslany. She is so perfect as She-Hulk and her comedic delivery was some of the best in the MCU to date. I really enjoyed how she broke the fourth wall with the audience, but I wish it was used a bit more. I found that the writers would use it maybe once per episode to remind the audience that it is there and then neglect it for the entire episode. The cameos were great, and the series had some fantastic parody of the real world. It was amazing to see the MCU poke fun at its fans and at itself at times. Overall, She-Hulk had some amazing potential but fails to capture any type of momentum fumbling its way to the grand finale, which was awesome and one of my favorite episodes.
**Score:** _63%_ |
**Verdict:** _Decent_
She-Hulk has sort of a temper on her doesn't she? And yet she can totally control her power better than the Hulk, who is Mark, so we should really call him Woke Hulk and her Woker Hulk.
The entire series is based around politics, and one sided in your face, shrieking at the top of your lungs about how you have to hate people based on their race, sexuality, and gender in order to not hate other people based on their race, sexuality, and gender...
... and at the end it feels sort of like it was written by, for, and staring that idiot at the Pride Parade that screams at Gay men for oppressing transpeople because they still identify as men. It makes no sense but it seems PC.
**Dead on arrival.**
To be honest, I expected this to be garbage. And oh boy, how did the show deliver on that!
The thing is, if there is something deeply wrong with the main character and/or the heart and soul of the show in general, it's going to fall apart and leave the viewer not interested. And now we got an obnoxious M*ry-S*e for a main character and it's just unbearable to watch. Dead on arrival.
