    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.
