She-Hulk
having fans
i wasnt aware she had any fans
I mean it’s not made for she-hulk fans. It’s mostly an adaptation of slott’s version of the character which is already hated and adds minor 4th wall breaking so the showrunners could claim they weren’t just ignoring Byrne, the only writer who’s work on the character matters. She was too muscular, her face too rounded, they legal angle rather than fun superhero stories was always going to piss actual fans off and leaning into the “men bad, men pathetic” social politics shit was a massive mistake.
It’s a show for 30 year old cat moms who didn’t really like the MCU, and even they didn’t like it.
inb4 b-b-but slott’s run was long
Doesn’t matter
inb4 y-y-your just an incel
Whatever makes you sleep at night
They didn't do the Spider-Man "BECAUSE I'M BLACK" joke
Instead of making Ally McBeal with a green amazon they created hot garbage.
Whelp, She-Hulk doesn't have fans. That's sort of a big one.
Second it's an adaptation of a 2010s book that also had few readers and was controversial for not being very good at all so picking that to be an adaptation is a really questionable move in the first place.
Third, it's yet another shining example of a show that is utterly embarrassed to be an adaptation of a comic book and tried everything in the world to avoid it or make fun of it's origins. It's even more
Who the fuck was this made for?
Byrne fucking sucks, I liked the Slott book, you're a fag, but I agree the show sucked because females made it for a female audience not a male one.
Instead of making Ally McBeal with a green amazon
Nobody wants this. is right they should have ditched the legal angle. that was the focus in Slott and soule’s runs and nobody likes those.
Byrne for the most part had her doing fun shit.

Not so gr8 b8 no (You) for you
I did for the most part. The ending sucked but their endings always sucked. But I enjoyed that she wanted some fuck.
Whatever else you can say about Byrne he understood the assignment, Shulkie is a character that was created cynically and excels when she exists in limbo, just like everyone who stole the gimmick after her
The show had flashes of that shit but didn't take any real advantage of it until the end and couldn't even land that
They heard 4th wall break and thought Fleabag when what they should have been thinking was Wayne's World
Ironically I felt it was way to down to earth for what I wanted out of a She-Hulk show. Shulkie's comics work at their best when they are just absurd situations tied into court room drama. It’s why the Daredevil episode is the best one, because it actually feels like a case Jen would have to deal with in the comics. The rest of the episodes are just really boring and the ending messes up by not having Kevin Feige actually show up, instead doing a lame joke about him being a robot or something. It would have been 10x funnier if they actually got Kevin to cameo and have Jen complain to him directly about the direction of her show, like how she complained to her books creators in the comic.
I liked the Slott book
No you don't.
She-Hulk fans deserved this show.
She was too muscular
No she wasn't, she was still pretty damn thin. The only thing really wrong with her physique was that her tits and ass weren't big enough.
They gave her man hands.
The same reasons no one else did
I'd say I'm a She-Hulk fan, have all four current omnis and two statues and I liked it more than the other shows outside of maybe Loki. It was well recieved on her subreddit too.
She-Hulk has no fans, her comics don't sell and the character is shit
That subreddit only has 8 people at a time and will ban you if you say anything bad about Slott's run.
what legal angle? The writers admitted they were too stupid to write even a basic legal plot which is why she didn't have any. Motherfuckers couldn't be bothered to watch one season of law and order to rip off for easy capeshit adaptation
It wasn't good.
Long time She-Hulk fan here, I'm of 2 minds concerning the show. On one hand everything is there, all the beats you would expect as clearly someone did their homework, but the execution is not what it could have been. I can commend the show for trying to be different than the normal Marvel formula, but it clearly didn't know where to take the story, nor did it appear able to fully explore/poke fun at the Marvel universe as it originally pitched
She was too muscular
She's not muscular enough
why is Michael Jackson green in this?
Well he is retired.
I really wish they would stop with this making every other genre of show or movie, but starring a superhero in their day to day life thing.
I just want to see a superhero doing superhero shit, fighting bad guys, saving the world etc.
I don't want to see a superhero in a sitcom setting.
Or a superhero in a lawyer setting
Ora superhero fixing houses and paying loans.
Hi Dan
I didn't like it because it relied too heavily on being a meta comedy. When you go that hard you get into Rick and Morty territory where nothing matters. That lack of sincerity isn't irreverent, it's annoying.
Moreover, it just just makes the times when the story tries to make us care about the character fall flat.
Like, you dismiss characters like Stark and Tchalla as having 'daddy issues" then expect me to care about Jen having a sex tape get leaked? Pick a lane.
Don't blame the legal angle, the show didn't utilize that facet of the character for shit
Byrne, the only writer who’s work on the character matters
Hey man, fuck you. That was uncalled for.
t. Steve Gerber fan
Maybe because it's terrible and made by somebody who doesn't even like superhero stuff. And since people brought up "poking fun at MCU" above, here's my take on it: when this show does actually try to do that, it's not affectionate poking fun of superhero genre like what Byrne or Gerber were writing, it's an out of touch "how do you do fellow superhero fans" shit that falls flat completely and only seems smart and funny to the writers.
It's not a superhero show, it's not a comedy, it's a writers' therapy session thinly disguised as either of those. There's so many things you could've done with She-Hulk and what you chose is ti seethe about "muh incels on reddit" and everything else under the sun, something nobody wanted to see.
And yes, fuck this shitty show for fucking the Wrecking Crew up.
Stop, you insufferable faggot. I’m so sick of coomers being incapable of separating their own fetishes with what characters actually look like.
Byrnes she-hulk, the only one that matters, was tall and thin and a bit athletic like a Victoria secret model. Fuck off with your coomer brained nonsense.
it isn’t just man hands; that’s a man’s chest, a man’s shoulders and a man’s biceps along with the man hands.
Ffs she doesn’t even have painted nails or dark lipstick on.
See:
On one hand everything is there, all the beats you would expect as clearly someone did their homework
Part of that homework would be knowing that nothing since Byrnes second departure with issue 50 of SS was worth adapting.
Claiming they “did their homework” by adapting dogshit like slott and soule is like commending a kid for doing their math homework because they read Dog Man one night.
I just remembered I had this exact conversation few days ago and I don't understand why fags are so hellbent on pulling some kind of stupid historical revisionism with this shit show.
FPBP
Shut up dude (intentionally singular). Nobody wants that shit, leave it to daredevil. She belongs on a beach, in space, or some alternate dimension punching her way out of a forced marriage to some retarded aliens.
I mean for fucks sake they could have had their “men bad” cake and eaten too by adapting the mahkizmo issues.
Btw this is what she-hulk looks like not whatever hideous fan fic dogshit these type of losers want:
You know, someone universally attractive rather than muscle fetish dweebs and lesbians
I’m so sick of coomers being incapable of separating their own fetishes with what characters actually look like.
This is not coom fueled you pretentious faglord. They actually reduced the bust and ass from what the model was originally created to have to appease people like you.
The writers didn't know how to write legal drama, super heros or comedy. That's why this show is far more interested in taking shots at "Chuds" cause that's what all these fat feminists have experience writing about on their shitty Tumblr blogs.
The actress wasn't muscular, she was fucking nothing. I ain't asking for a roid monkey, just an actress with decent assets and who stays in shape for the roll. What was funny was how the actress twerks but has no ass to twerk with, so it's not only low brow, it's also pointless.
All my favorite shehulk books have a lighthearted humor that isnt ashamed of superhero tropes even if they point them out for goofs whereas this show seems to hate itself and Marvel. I wouldnt wanna hang out with this cunt let alone follow her on adventures, the dialogue is just shit and annoying never charming and there is too much talk of sexism whereas I think of her as a strong woman who doesnt mind male attention due to her confidence. Traditionally base Jen is bookwormy and she prefers shehulk form because she knows shes good looking whereas Jen in this show is a cunt mostly.
Not getting a lot of work these days, huh Slott.
I-I-I-I-if you don’t like a man’s muscular frame with bolt on tits and a stuffed pillow ass y-y-youre a prude!
Yes, totally. Wanting her to be in a bathing suit while actually being attractive like makes someone a prude.
Fuck off you delusional closeted faggot.
Remember when she picked up guys in her Shulkie form, then got mad when they were disappointed to see her regular form? Typical women behavior.
The writers didn't know how to write legal drama,
We’ve established this doesn’t matter because nobody wants that. Leave it to daredevil
super heros or comedy
That’s the problem. And hiring a bunch of women and a fat faggot like Cody zig larp was never going to fix that.
You pathetic losers out here still trying to earn your MouseBucks huh?
Don't forget Zeb "The Cuck" Wells.
You stupid mother fucker, you don't get to call anyone a coomer when you posted a picture like that.
a picture
You mean a cover to the comic I’m talking about?
Dead serious, stream your suicide and make it entertaining.
We've established nothing shit weasel. You're stupid ass is the only one here saying She shouldn't be doing at least some legal stuff. I agree that Tumblr refugee feminists should have never been let into the Marvel building, let alone write this show but I ain't takin's your shit anymore than I'm taking theirs.
Yeah shithead, the picture that is clearly meant to entice young men to read the comic. Nothing wrong with it at all, unlike the chewed up wad of gum you call a brain.
With all due respect I don’t believe you’re a fan of she-hulk. Nor you Meanwhile I’m actually am and pretty succinctly described exactly why a storyline like the mahkizmo one would fit the exact sociopolitical themes they were trying to touch on, entertain us without courtroom nonsense none of them could even write, and adapt a Byrne storyline which was fucking fantastic.
Neither of those guys.
The issue with Mahkizmo is that, despite Byrne's She-Hulk being a comedic book he's a threatening and intimidating villain. At least physically.
You can't have that with modern feminist writers. A male villain who could pose a threat to a female hero is seen as "abusive" or "problematic". This is not just a She-Hulk issue, I notice this with a lot of modern shit aimed at women.
That's why every "villain" in this show was a joke for She-Hulk to easily manhandle and when they introduced one who couldn't be (yeah King Redditor was a shit villain on every conceivable level but giving him powers was at least something), they had She-Hulk literally Karen her way out of fighting him.
The only way you could get away with a villain like Mahkizmo is if you remove these shit writers completely and find somebody actually competent and doesn't have a feminist chip on their shoulder, but then we wouldn't be in this thread discussing this in the first place.
With absolutly no respect, the day I take advice from your faggot ass is the day I swallow cyanide.
I can't look at this CGI abomination for more than a few seconds without being disgusted. Is outsourcing the visual effects to a bunch of pajeets really cheaper than just painting an muscular woman green?

Just tell me you didn’t read the issues. The entire point of the character is that he’s abusive and problematic but falls for she-hulk because of Eros’ arrow.
advice
I didn’t give you advice retard. I did tell you to kill yourself and make it entertaining though.
Sorry, I ain't into suicide like some kind of sick freak, which also explains your crappy show ideas.
Didn't she end up blaming the fans?
I have completely lost any sense of superiority and now degraded into illogical replies
Have at it sis.
Are the classic She-hulk comics any good?
Or are they just Pinups shows with 4th wall breaks?
I've read the story, you retarded nigger. That was not at all what I was talking about.
Cupid's arrow or not Mahkizmo was still a superhumanly strong brute who could match Shulkie and Ben Grimm and had a plan to eradicate (almost) all women. And he was still somebody She-Hulk needed to actually beat in the end instead of just easily overcoming.
Obviously that kind of a villain is way too threatening for the show's feminist writers to write about despite being comedic and over-the-top, and modern feminist writers would rather portray all men they don't like as weak and completely unthreatening so Mahkizmo was never gonna work with these writers in charge.
That's why every male villain on the show was completely pathetic
