Do I like She-Hulk

Movies & Television & Theatre

******SPOILERS BELOW********

I honestly don’t know how I feel about She-Hulk Attorney At Law. I’ve been ambivalent through the entire season.

On the one hand, I love the actors.

But I don’t love how all of them were used. Tatiana Maslany is capable of so much more than they’re giving her to do. And I love Jameela Jamil, but her role in the show is confusing. There’s no backstory or reason to care about the relationship between our hero and one of our villains.

Speaking of villains, I wanted something more than an “influencer” and a group of incel trolls.

On the other hand, when I thought about it, an evil influencer fits the comedy aspect of the show.

And I shouldn’t discount the terror of male trolls. In our world, they are mass shooters; they are white supremacists trying to end our democracy.

Why do I want an alien or supervillain threat instead?

Maybe because I like it when my sci-fi / fantasy gives me at least the veneer of allegories of evil instead of the real evil that upsets my stomach every day?

Most people have been enjoying the 4th-wall breaking, I just think about how Deadpool does it so much better.

But then again, they wouldn’t have been able to do the meta ending without that 4th-wall breakage.

I’ll watch Season 2, but I want something more.
