    I enjoyed it! Don’t care for the rest of the marvel stuff they keep pumping out but She Hulk was fun.

      check out Wonder Man if you haven’t yet. Much different from other marvel stuff and very good.

    I had no qualms with She-Hulk like so many people seemed to, but my god was it a bad representation of how courts work at all. They actually broke laws in the first episode.

      It’ll never happen, but I would love a She-Hulk episode after every MCU film that just litigated what’s nonsense happened in the film. The B plot of every episode can be what’s long term story they want to tell but I want some silly but accurate courtroom drama.

      In fairness, actual lawyers have videos where they break down why Matt Murdock is a bad lawyer and constantly breaking the rules in court as well.

      It’s TV, if those scenes were realistic they would be boring as hell.

      I would be surprised if any courtroom drama was a solid representation of how courtrooms work. Pretty sure comic courtrooms are based on courtrooms in media where they do everything wrong to be more engaging to watch.

      My Cousin Vinny is one of the few where they do get all the courtroom stuff right and that is mostly the judge being nitpicky, a bunch of slow and tedious formality, and a single exciting moment where an important detail is discovered but the actual way it is presented takes several minutes of explaining because courtrooms don’t have dramatic emotional one liners that end a case.

      It honestly felt like it was trying to walk the line as low-key fetish content at times.

    So why did you cancel it? Something here doesn’t seem to fit, does it? Next I’ll be reading about how Starfleet Academy was the most successful Star Trek in franchise history…

    She-Hulk wasn’t bad at all. It was downright cute and funny a lot of the time.

    The problem was from a story-telling perspective; (spoilers) saying the entire MCU, in-universe, was just a play and there was never any real stakes. It devalued all the character sacrifices on a fundamental level for a brief moment of meta-humor.

    I think they just didn’t know how to end it and pulled the K.E.V.I.N. Joke out of their ass at the last second.

      The whole thing with the ending and K.E V.I.N. was a criticism of how formulaic/algorithmic things were with the MCU, especially with the 3rd act. The villain gets the same powers. The fights are a CGI mess. Corners get cut for budgetary reasons. Cameos and other characters are forcibly added to further the greater franchise at the cost of a more focused story.

      Part of She-Hulk’s schtick is that she breaks the 4th wall, so it felt appropriate to me.

    I don’t think they’ve really figured out a metric that rivals what TV ratings and movie viewings in a theater used to.

    You can see how often someone streamed content, but you can’t know if they are watching. Obviously, it was always like this to some extent with TV, but I feel the analogy doesn’t quite hold. You turned on the TV at a specific time to watch a specific thing that was likely only available at that time.

    I’m not sure how you track actual viewer interest with streaming services.

      Usually it’s going to be user drop-off rate. If the drop-off rate is high, it gets cancelled.

        I’m curious if they take into account binging. Because I will watch the first episode of the season when they release it (recently The Boys, Invincible, and Monarch) but then I will wait to watch the rest.

          If you delay too long in watching a series, then they will consider you having abandoned it.

        Just add like 20-30 minutes of Christian Bale absolutely chewing the scenery as Gorr and it’d be 89.6 percent better immediately

        I liked what Love and Thunder was doing, it has some great deleted scenes that should have stayed in and they should have trimmed some of the improv, but overall I liked it too!

          Honestly I’m generally of the mind that I always wish deleted scenes stayed in.

          Unless it was an alternate take they didn’t go with our something.

      This is why I refuse to engage with internet fandom in most cases and absolutely reject the idea that staggered releases are valuable because of “the community.”

        That’s what I heard. Personally, I’m not a hate-watching kind of guy. The first episode was plenty for me.

        people hate-watching the first one.

        Do people actually do this? I can’t imagine wasting time watching a show I don’t like. Like, I have much more enjoyable things I could be doing, like playing a good video game, watching a good movie, or I dunno…watching a better show.
