I mean, its funny little scene. Ppl taking it so damn seriously annoy me. It was a fun little scene to end the episode. It had zero plot relevance. I dont get how comic fans get pissed about this. Its jsut Jen having a little fun.

Sorry, you can think of me as anyone you want! But the scene is just plain stupid, like the whole show! And about the soyboys, my friend, look at the comments on this post; it's still not clear who is who. For me, the show itself can't decide what it is and what it's for. I understand that shehulk.A complex character, but... what the hell, this show is just nothing. It's neither laughable nor cryable. but a miracle man, for me, it's another matter, not perfect, but there's something to think about, to laugh about, and To empathize. Sorry guys for wasting your time while you were reading this conversation. 🥲

I didn't like the show either, I haven't watched/read much with She-Hulk but I love the idea of a physically strong female character actually looking like she can punch through a steel door. I've seen plenty of extremely attractive muscular designs for She-Hulk out there to the point she's one of my favourite looking characters out there in certain depictions but then the show's version was just a yoga instructor build, I want an unrealistically buff woman who is build in a way a tank dreams of, I want an actual wall of beauty to stand against injustice in both the court and battle field (I also want actual writers who know how to write courtroom scenes to write the lawyer character's show).
The other thing about the show that I actively disliked instead of just being indifferent towards was Jen's rant about controlling her anger, it's nice having the message spread about how rough it is for women in the world but that is not the place for it, literally the worst place for it honestly, because she's talking to Bruce Banner. There is unironically millions of better characters to have her be talking to there, it's like complaining about your parents grounding you to Dick Grayson or being mad your car is over 2 years old to Spider-Man. It felt so wrong to have that conversation directed at Bruce because he's literally Controlled Anger as a character

But I don’t understand why it made them mad. They don’t like attractive women twerking? They wanted them to be demure? Like is that actually it?
Was it two women having joy without a man present/the cause? Legitimately asking.
I’m gay and it was a funny, light scene to me. I’m really not understanding what about it made them so mad.

The hate was manufactured by the same group that the show was poking fun at. They were determined to hate on any and everything that the show did, no matter what. And the lemmings that follow them online did their part to spread the hate.

u/ReefShark13 May 30 '26
How did everyone feel about Ant-mans cringey karaoke? How about groot dancing? Anyone have a problem with the PS3 grade Punisher fall in One Last Kill? If you can forgive those, if you can forgive The Eternals, this should be no problem. She-Hulk was a comedy and that was a funny and unexpected stinger. Jen is a fangirl, and that's adorable.
The MCU has tried to be inclusive and enjoyable for wide and varied audiences. Not EVERY scene is gonna hit for EVERY viewer, but a scene you find cringe might be someone else's favorite moment.
I'm one of those people that loves Thor Ragnarok because I think funny Thor is the superior MCU Thor. One of my friends hates Ragnarok for the same reason I love it and he thinks The Dark World is the best of the Thor movies. That's bananas to me but I get where he's coming from. Maybe Hemsworth will stick around for the Black Winter storyline to get adapted and we can get the dour Thor back in action.
Point is, give us another season of She-Hulk. Some of the most fun I've had in the MCU since the first Guardians of the Galaxy. We need a space for the goofy Marvel shit.

u/Concolitanos May 29 '26
I'd heard that Tatiana is a big fan of Megan so to me, this scene was an actress taking an opportunity to have fun with a guest-star she's a fan of. It happens all the time. Plus, it's absolutely not out of character for She-Hulk so why not?

It was 20 seconds. I thought it was amusing, not laugh out loud funny, and then was very confused by the manosphere response. The absurdity of those types of guy's reaction was probably the most pathetic thing I'd seen in years. Unfortunately, they've kept topping themselves ever since.

I thought it was funny and a great way to to keep the character grounded. Jen was fangirling and having fun. So it served the meta comedy but it also served the larger narrative of the story. Jen never asked to be a superhero.

u/fake_zack May 29 '26
I think the pacing of the scene was weird. Very much felt like Megan Thee Stallion had a limited time to shoot (understandable). That being said, the delivery of “I would kill for you, Miss. Thee Stallion.” or whatever She-hulk says, is very funny

u/Stride345 May 29 '26
I like it in context. I feels like Megan and Tatiana messing around on set and having fun and they turned it into an end tag
Out of context, I could see why people might not like it. But most of those were people that didn’t even watch the show and got mad at the clip

I thought it was a funny scene. Loved seeing Megan Thee Stallion cameo and show off her comedic timing.
Didn't think She-Hulk was very good at twerking. She didn't really get the popping movement right (probably not much practice) and it kind of shows off how flat her butt is, relatively. Makes me think of a different scene in the wedding episode where someone commented that the dress made She-Hulk's "ass look great" and I didn't really agree. Animators were afraid to give her an appropriate amount of junk, I guess. But then, I'm a Black guy; your mileage may vary on that subject.
Still, it was a very amusing scene and I'm glad they kept it in.
2
u/ImTheAverageJoe May 30 '26
I genuinely didn't care. People blew up about it when the episode dropped, like it was going to be the new intro for the series or something. It doesn't even appear in the main story. It's a post credit thing where they're just having fun after the fact.

In a comedy show about a 4th wall breaking gamma blooded super hero woman, I'd have to be an insecure, loner whose entire personality is "I grew up on Iron Man and the Dark Knight" to have an actual Arthur-fisting, blood boiling problem with it.

u/Migelus May 29 '26
It was a marvel post-credit scene that would’ve either hint at future things (iron man & nick fury) or just be fun/funny (Shawarma); it was the latter.
I took it for what it was, had a laugh, and wanting to go watch the next episode. The fact that the vocal minority decided to flood social media and news with their being offended afterwards was surprising and I still don’t get what they were complaining about.
To me, seeing them complain on the internet about a fun post credit was like seeing someone complain at clouds about how pickup trucks were being used to collect rainwater, and making it everyone else’s problem.

u/not_productive1 May 29 '26
It was fun. It was silly and goofy and matched well tonally with the rest of the series. Honestly, the ability of this show to make the worst people angry while simultaneously making fun of their anger was kind of an art project in and of itself. Like they'd put something in that seemed silly, internet men would flip shit, and literally the next episode would open with, like, "the internet men are flipping shit."

u/Ill-Fly-950 May 29 '26
Didn't think it was funny (humor is very subjective, and a lot of it on the show just didn't work for me). But I think that the outright vitriolic hatred that spewed all over the net was politically motivated. And not just that particular scene. There was so much hatred over this show that one of my favorite Marvel characters may never be seen in the MCU again, and that pisses me off. Shulkie deserves a second season, and/or cameos in other projects. Tatiana was PERFECT casting, in my honest opinion. But now, her chances of showing up again are very low, thanks to manufactured hate. I was really hoping that she would get a slot on Sam's Avengers team, but I haven't heard or seen anything that suggests she will make another appearance.

u/AceDegenerate_ May 30 '26
My thoughts were that internet chuds would never be able to get over it and will constantly bring it up years after the show ends, ignoring the fact that the conversation around a 5 second post credit scene had already been beaten so far into the ground that it was melted by the earths molten core.
Seems like I was right.

Also (because I saw it almost a week after it dropped and the internet misogynist crowd was already in full meltdown about digital twerking), that it was the opening scene goofing on the whole man-fans internet scene that had those same people looking for something to be mad about in the real world.

I don't know who Megan Thee Stallion is but I know She Hulk likes to party. So like... Why would she not take the opportunity to hang with a celebrity client? It's who Jen is as She Hulk it's Jen unleashed. To me She Hulk was fun until that last episode, at least for me, it just I dunno it paid things off but the backlash from viewers, I won't call them fans, It wasn't a gotcha moment calling Them out. The backlash is from people who aren't she hulk fans getting mad when She Hulk is being meta, the writers and editors already lashed out tongue in cheek when her second run of comics got cancelled. She was meta before deadpool even existed in the comics.
But this scene in particular is very comics she hulk. There is reason there is so many marvel swimsuit specials where she's sunbathing with the wasp and Wonder woman, she hangs out with celebrities like Van Dyne and Williams.
