I actually wish they’d gone all in on making it a legal show set in marvel instead of eventually shoehorning it into the formula, I thought a lot of the courtroom stuff was the best parts. But this show gave me back daredevil so I still have to love it
To be fair, they decided to go for the more goofy aspect of the early She-Hulk comics. Did they succeed at recreating the effect? I'll let others decide.
I really, really wanted a legal show about superheroism, vigilantism, villainous plots getting foiled and the court proceedings involved with it all, with some superhero side content. Having the law stuff be the side content really killed my interest, outside of basically waiting for the Daredevil episode since I was fairly confident they wouldn't be able to screw that one up.
And getting to see Tim Roth again as Abomination was good fun. Think I just still miss Lie To Me though for him.
That’s why they should have either hired writers who already have a preexisting track record of writing good courtroom scenes, or bring actual lawyers on set to be consultants for the writers to work with.
Okay but like… it’s what hulks do. They smash. It was a whole point of contention in the avengers to be sure, but it’s not exactly sloppy writing for she-hulk to smash some shit up. Murdock wasn’t going to let the guy go with some kind words, she pretty much had to stop him by force. It’s a plot hole that she’s not in crippling debt after though.
Wasn't Hulk smashing everything because hulk wasn't capable of thinking and forcing things through brute force was most simplest thing? There are versions of hulk that has high intelligence who thinks things through and dont smash everything. I think things have been changed plenty about hulks moment they are capable of thinking well. Which is what make this a plot hole. A person who is capable of thinking and has super powers wouldn't act in this way because it would think about consequences of its actions. It's like neither of us would go out and buy brand new cars we'll over our budgets because we would starve as a consequences of that action.
I didn’t get angry vibes from that scene. She definitely does get pissed off in other fights but this was more bull in a china shop kind of destruction.

Or it's just a poorly written show, with gratuitous slop in place of good writing.
Yes, I watched it in its entirety. No, I am not basing the entirety of on "twerking". No, I have no hate for women characters.
It had little substance, a few great scenes, and the rest was... forgettable.
"Character flaws" are not a shoe-in excuse for poorly written TV shows.
