Prestoff posted... It's very possible to not like certain episodes about certain shows. Like for me, I thought this was the weakest episode because it felt like one giant filler. This episode would've been great if this was an episodic type of show, but clearly it's "building" up to something but I don't have a clear vision on what that is atm. filler? I dont think you could have missed the point of this show more imho This is literally trying to be a more slice of life style show and a comedy first and foremost. Of course its building to something its also a superhero show and theyre setting up a few different threads. But theres so many shows that care more about the comedy and its characters than the plot or maybe some dramatic tension that continues over the season. This is one of those shows. And while thats all true, and I wouldnt come to this show with this expectation like it needs to have such important stakes in the MCU, and its going to answer every question you have and set up the coming years. For a genuinely funny, slice of life style show they still have done a tremendous job of connecting a lot of different storylines together. For example I particularly like how it answers any question of the arena scene in Shang-Chi, reestablishes Emil Blonksy / Abomination, and possibly sets a path towards The Thunderbolts. Like if thats the kind of details you come to this show for, I think your expectations and understanding of what the show is dont align. The fact that this show could still provide that in its style and format is the cherry on top for me. --- Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol.

He has no videos on later episodes Okay this is far fetched but hear me out. I think Drinker, Babyface, Maller (know that is not how he spells it), and others are paid to do what they do by Marvel. They views and BS are so sexist and racist, when people have real issues those issues fall to the wayside because of the troll army that these people have drummed up. Take the Review bombing of a She-Hulk. If that didn't happen for better or worse people could see how many people liked to show. If it didn't work fine , if it didn't GREAT. But with all these fake reviews, then Marvel can say see everyone loved it but these troll assholes. --- To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships.

I'm not really digging the show so far. It's not bad, per se, but it doesn't seem to have a solid grasp on what it wants to be, as a show. I like the silliness, I like the fourth wall breaks (if anything I think there should be more of those), there are lots of little things the show does great. I love that the bar they go to is called "Legal Ease," I think that's a great joke, I like Jen's snarkiness, I like her paralegal/assistant, I think they have great rapport and their banter with each other feels very natural, I think it's funny that occasionally there will just be a random man popping in to do annoying man things, I thought the Megan Thee Stallion cameo was very funny, I just... I don't think it has an identity. It's not really an episodic show, but it's also not really building toward anything? There isn't any central conflict. There isn't even really internal conflict. For a show called "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law" there hasn't been very much in the way of either She-Hulking or attorneying. For all the talking up Jen gets as being a great attorney, most of the cases she takes are relatively simple and barely require her to do anything to resolve them. In fact, the one single moment of what could be called "brilliant lawyering" we've seen on the show wasn't even done by her, it was done by her male co-worker who had to take the imposter fairy law-suit that she didn't want. Jen's brilliant legal maneuvering during that episode? Stalling for time until Wong showed up to testify, because she didn't take any sort of written (or recorded video) statement prior to the hearing. The "slice of life" stuff is... alright? But I don't think, given the rest of what's going on in the background of the show, that it makes for a very compelling watch. There aren't really any stakes to anything that happens on the show, and anything that might represent any sort of wrinkle of conflict is quickly smoothed over (Blonsky is up for parole? It's fine, he's actually totally reformed and a cool guy. But would she be betraying Bruce by representing him? Nah, it's all good, Bruce is cool with it and they've totally resolved their problems. Oh shit Blonsky escaped prison? Nah, Wong forced him to leave because he wanted to fight him and he's actually more than happy to testify to that for the parole board). Like I said, I don't think it's bad, and it certainly doesn't deserve any of the hate it's getting from the incel "anti-sjw" crowd, but I just feel like it could be so much better than it is. --- An Injury to One is an Injury to All https://iww.org/ ...

I actually feel like this show is striking a good balance between the superhero stuff and the courtroom/comedy antics. One of my problems with many of the Disney+ shows is that they don't seem to fully commit to the interesting premise they present towards the end. But 4 episodes in I feel like they're doing a pretty good job of balancing things out. She-Hulk still feels like an attorney first and foremost --- I have nothing else to say ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ill agree the Lawyering so far hasnt been anywhere what Id hope for from a lawyer show. The writing in that regard seems really lacking and I think gives the impression that it thinks its audience is complete idiots. And we are, but so is the audience to most shows. I mean just give me one Suits moment where the case seems unwinable, Jen digs in, finds some shit at the last minute, spouts off some Law babble, and wins the day. They did that 47 times an episode for 9 seasons. The formula is there. But regardless its still a fun ass show with some hilarious moments and really good characters. We have such high expectations these days but when you think of lost shows you like, it always took a few seasons to really start cooking. I guess the limited nature of these Marvel shows might warrant higher expectations but idk, Im more patient than most. --- Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol.

CyricZ posted... A good half of the show has been attorneying. Not on a Better Call Saul level, but it is case focused.Sort of, but like I said, she doesn't really do that much. I could have walked in off the street and made the exact same argument she prepared in defense of Blonsky. Every case she's been involved in so far could have been resolved without pretty much any input or involvement from her. Even if part of Jen's involvement with a case requires her to port to a theater to fling demons through a hole.You know, I was actually thinking about that. She completely screwed herself over in that caseany half-competent attorney could use the fact that she withheld removing the last demon until Donny Blaze (incredible name, btw, I do really enjoy a lot of the humor the show brings) agreed to abide by the cease and desist as evidence of coercion, and have the entire suit thrown out. She could probably even be disbarred for doing something like that. Saul Goodman would have had a field day. I get that a lot of this is nitpicking but just like, would it be so hard for them to give their main character, who is supposed to be a good, competent lawyer, some moments of brilliance?

She didn't withhold getting rid of the last demon though so I don't think that would count as coercion. It's not like she forced an ultimatum on him.
