I really wanted to like She-Hulk. It had the elements to make a good show, but somehow they squandered every advantage.

Really lost me when Banner, a character that was so depressed at one point that the only reason he didn’t commit suicide was because Hulk literally wouldn’t let him, is told that he cannot comprehend how terrible it is to be catcalled.

This one right here. As someone who was once a depressed young man full of rage, the minute they invalidated Bruce's struggles, I dropped the show. Haven't seen anything else outside of clips.

Congratulations, you acted like a snowflake and didn’t see that the show challenges Jennifer’s claim

There's what, two MCU shows that got more than one season? Loki and Daredevil. What If, if you want to count that. That's just Marvel being Marvel.

Punisher, Wonderman, technically VisionQuest is a season 2 of WandaVision.

Wonder Man season 2 was cancelled, Punisher was Netflix. VisionQuest is as much of a season of WandaVision as Agatha All Along was.

There are some unfair criticisms of the Bruce / Jenn scenes... but following this line, I don't blame anyone being so offended that they do not pay attention to what surrounds it. Yes, She-Hulk threw the boulder further, but it was with a full shot-put throw, while Bruce only flicked his wrist. But trying to argue you have a harder life than Bruce Banner is so insanely awful that it's hard to think straight around it.

Right after Jen throws her boulder farther, Bruce throws another, way bigger boulder way, WAY faster. It's immediately established that he's stronger than her.

I saw an early trailer where she made fun of him not being able to control the Hulk and immediately knew the show was going to completely gloss over his deep childhood trauma.

People with trauma-induced dissociative identity disorder don't deserve to be punched down on by billion dollar corporations trying to score cheap "girl power" points. Especially considering that women are nine times more likely to have it than men are.

But within their points of view it’s correct. She can feel suicidal, but nobody can make hulk feel catcalled.
