She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

This show is absolutely outside of anything I would normally watch or enjoy. Unfortunately, Marvel has begun to include genres I dislike or avoid in their experiments. Also, a sometimes lousy, sometimes interesting attempt (the finale) to break the fourth wall. In order to make things interesting, K.E.V.I.N. squeezed The Hulk, Abomination, Wong and Daredevil among the supporting characters. The hammy script is based on the comics, but I don't read them. The inconsistent visual effects also spoil the overall impression, but to be honest, if the story was more interesting, I would forgive that. If it weren't for the stellar guest cast of already established characters, it would be awful. Tatiana Maslany is not bad, but the character of Hulk’s cousin doesn’t have much to offer, so it just glides on fashion trends. (13/10/2022)

Although evil tongues claimed from trailers what a terrible mess with ugly CGI it would be, I kept my hopes up until the last moment. And in the end, it messed me up possibly even more than those haters. Marvel has slipped into the box of extreme caricatures, where not even a slightly more dramatic scene appears and everything has to be terribly edgy and fresh. And what annoyed me the most was the breaking of the fourth wall, which was totally unnecessary here. Right after they totally ridiculed the old familiar characters (especially Emil Blonsky) and gave them a childish background, which personally doesn't sit well with me at all. Sure, I've been missing the Marvel taste for a long time now, since they took over the series, but I used to be an extreme fanboy and I'm really sorry to see them undermining their foundations. Not even on Daredevil, which is a beloved project, can we expect anything enjoyable after the introduction here and thanks to Charlie Cox it was still the best part. I have to mention the main protagonist Tatiana Maslany, whom I praised when she was cast and thought she was a perfect choice (even though she constantly lied that she definitely wouldn't be She-Hulk), but in the series, I sometimes liked her, other times she really annoyed me. I'll leave the logical lapses to the internet moms (and there were plenty of them regarding hair changes), for me, it's more important that it was a brutal cringe and most of the time I didn't enjoy it at all. Creators obviously tried to have the finale as original as possible, so it wouldn't slide exactly where it was outlined. In the end, however, it is an even worse and more awkward calculation that really annoyed me. And seeing Matt once again didn't really soften the blow. I wish there wasn't a second season, or that it had a completely different tone. (13/10/2022)

She-Hulk is not for everyone, and I certainly don't mean that as a criticism, but rather as one of its main strengths. It's good that the MCU took this route and, like the comic books, decided to spread it wide so that audiences can pick and choose and not feel like they're watching the same thing over and over again, just with a different main character. She-Hulk kind of pokes fun of all of this from the start, and I have to admit that I was gloating a little watching the internet comments swearing while waiting for Daredevil and co. while Jennifer Walters did what she wanted and didn't do what she was asked to do – whether it was by her cousin, her boss, or the audience. The final episode put the crown on everything, and it made me decide not to forget what I've seen in the series that didn't always bring me to my knees, but to acknowledge that everything actually worked out the way the creators planned. And that while few would probably agree with that, She-Hulk is a very bold series, and with an amazing Tatiana Maslany in the lead role. (15/10/2022)

I adore comic book stories about She-Hulk, so the series was a clear choice for me. Just like all the female series from the MCU - Agent Carter, Jessica Jones, WandaVison, Ms. Marvel, and Agatha. Personally, I would prefer if the series were a one-to-one adaptation of the series "The Sensational She-Hulk" (1989-1994), in which the superheroes from the war years naturally aged, but I guess then I would be asking for too much. This modern version is fine too. The guest appearances are good, the fashion quirks entertaining, it has a likeable main heroine, there is the romance with Daredevil, and the finale, although not as good as the backstage episodes from the Xenaverse, is still ideal.
