She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer

[RealAlHazred]

But there is no struggle, no real conflict at all. Jen just literally waves a magic wand, and gets the ending she wants.

Did you see the episode where she had to humiliatedly admit in court that nobody wanted to date her, they all wanted to date She-Hulk? I mean, that's basically a compliment!

Yay for female empowerment? Or something?

Jen just literally waves a magic wand, and gets the ending she wants. That's not really a satisfying story.

Maybe not for you. I expect there are heaps of women out there who reveled in the wish fulfillment of Jen getting to write her own ending, though.

That's an interesting thought. Do women generally prefer in their fantasy the notion of "win without struggle", is that something that female watchers generally prefer in their stories?

Hmm interesting psychological study idea.

You keep using that phrase, "without struggle." I don't think it means what you think it means.

I think that depends on what country you are in. I am sure if the women of Iran could "win without struggle", meaning no more of them being murdered by their own government, they would be happy with that.

You must have missed the episodes before the finale, and the part of the finale where there was clearly struggle and pain. Like, totally.

I don't think he is a bad guy again. He is a slimy coach that breaks the law to do lectures as abomination. He didn't know they were inteligencia, but was arrested for braking his parole. If he was a bad guy again I doubt Wong would've saved him.

It's not like he's the bad guy, or even a particularly slimy coach. I think he's just someone who compartmentalizes various things to live the life he wants, breaking various relatively minor laws/requirements that aren't really hurting anyone, but nevertheless are important symbols of his rehabilitation to the people and institutions he hurt. I think he's genuinely not really the titanic asshat he was in the Hulk movie anymore - but sit in a prison cell or give up being Abomination when he could have more fun in life doing something else - that's fine and doesn't really hurt anyone.

I feel like Disney really need to take some time to reconsolidate their brand with Marvel. Everything since Endgame has just felt so... unfocused. There's too little of that sense of a larger continuity that ran through the Avengers era, instead it all feels like various unrelated people off doing unrelated stuff, with some occasional wisps of interconnection.

I don't think so. I think having a little bit of fun with properties more tangentially involved with the overall plots is perfectly fine. The point is they're telling stories that many of us want to see. And that's enough.

It doesn't feel like it to me. I revisit most of the pre-Infinity War movies quite often, they stand alone well and also form a satisfying narrative between them.

But I've felt very little incentive to revisit the post-Endgame content. I've re-watched Loki once and that was satisfying, I tried re-watching Wandavision and stalled, and nothing else has felt sufficiently compelling to take a second look at.
