So I see another thread has been derailed for people to bitch into the vacuum about Spider-Man 😮💨 More like letting the fans of Slott know a 'significant group' of people also find him an overrated hack writer and a clockwork regular scumbag. Saying plenty of people like him and he gets to work with flagship characters means nothing to me when half his books are s*it and he treats his fans like dirt, and it doesn't give this show a free pass either. I liked this episode because {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}it touched on the elements of She-Hulk I like, but let's face it, the major talking point of the episode is legitimately pointing out the reasons why the MCU is absolute rubbish, and unless they address those critiques and implement real change in the future, episodes like this won't age well, it will ring hollow, as if to say "we know we suck, but we won't change because our formula works and our stans love everything"
It's wild how many times pro wrestling organizations get critiqued hard for their meta worked shoot interviews pointing out all that's wrong with their product, yet when Marvel do it it's a 'fun time'

Possibly my biggest gripe about the entire show was Abomination having Tim Roth’s quiet, New Agey voice…and that’s only because it made me think of Korg, which made me think of Love & Thunder, which made me disappointed and bored…
The twist of the finale didn’t quite land for me but overall I really enjoyed the show. Any show that has Daredevil having dinner with Cousin Larry is an A in my book.

Thinking back…so what the hell was Titania’s motivation to begin with? I get her gripe with getting her ass whipped leading to her grudge with Jen…but why did she crash the courtroom to begin with?

According to the news report montage in the opening of the second episode Titania had been in traffic court and went on a rampage which her management told the press was caused by "low blood sugar."

I kind of remember that now.

I just realized…what series is up next? Do we have another this year? I was wondering this as well.... I think all we have left this year on Disney Plus is the Guardians Christmas Special. I'm not sure what's next (What If Season 2?? or is that still a bit in the future?) Edit: Forgot about Secret Invasion

I really would've liked to know why Blonsky was apart of that Intelligencia meeting? He seemed to genuinely like Jen and tried to protect her, so it didn't seem like he was sympathetic to them. Did he just take the gig for money? Did he not know what they were about? I like reformed/group therapy Abomination, I kinda really don't want him to be a bad guy again. Yeah... I just assumed, at the end, that he did it strictly for the paycheck.

Yeah... while I enjoyed the character, I didn't get her point (I guess is the word). I haven't read the comics, so I didn't have the necessary background going in. Overall, I really enjoyed this series. There are some minor quabbles, but they didn't hurt my enjoyment of the series. If that makes me a "stan" for the MCU.... oh well, curse me for enjoying something.

So finished it last night and mulled over it. The KEVIN scene was funny for what it was, but I'm unclear about the overall resolution to the season-long story. Is the official story that manbabies went through great lengths to get Jennifer's blood for no specific reason? What's up with the Wreckers, including the one who's apparently reformed? Are Jen and Matt officially a couple? Is Hulk's son MCU canon?
I enjoyed the series enough and will continue watching the character for the hell of it. But the ending was just unclear to me.

Supposedly they also filmed a serious series ending so I’m curious what that was it if they ever give us a taste.

They went to great lengths to get her blood, but Todd didn't get to use it and got his ass sued into oblivion, thus avoiding the overused "hero fights a villain with similar powers" trope. The Wrecking Crew were just hired goons. Matt and Jen are just having a fling, according to Tatiana Maslany. Presumably a second season will explore things further. Skaar is canon.

Yeah I assume in the new ending one of Todds scientist goons looked the blood over and told him not to inject himself or he would die horribly. So he just kept it as a trophy. And yeah Wrecking Crew were just goons given some weapons that seemed less of a threat than the weapons the Vulture was selling for years.

Also just to show what could have been…they actually considered trying to get Ed Norton to play Banner for the season finale.

Maybe the blood will play a role in the future. Given that Marvel have gone out of their way to recast General Ross maybe we'll get Red Hulk? Who knows?

It could be interesting to see not only Red Hulk, but Red She-Hulk. Though I wonder if they'd recast Betty Ross after all this time since pretty much everyone else has been recast from The Incredible Hulk at this point.

Presumably the only reason to continue using Ross is to get to Red Hulk. Since it's pretty much an open secret that a World War Hulk movie or miniseries is in the pipeline an increase in Hulk-related characters makes sense.
