Magic 8-ball says "Not Encouraging"
I loved She-Hulk, but I'm very much a fan of meta comedy and jokes with pop stars. And I thought the ending was fantastic.

Or, closer to home, Deadpool.
CGI was disappointing, but otherwise I was a fan of She Hulk.
How can you not love the show that brought us Madisynn.

In one of the CapCom vs Marvel fighting games, Deadpool has a move where he grabs his health bar and attacks with it. One of the end quotes from She-Hulk if she fights Deadpool is that if this game had been made in 1991, that'd be her move.

Canada is also a very big country. But there is context here and I expect the same is true of Russia: most Canadians live within 100 km of the US border. I think most Russians live West of the Urals, while most of Russia is East of the Urals. By comparison, outside of Alaska, most of the US is a single, very large both East to West and North to South, completely traversable landmass.
(As an aside in my head I am workshopping the nickname for Canada "Fat Chilly".)

No, it's a weird line. Russians are very aware of how huge their country is - its vastness is both culturally and strategically embedded in their identity. Canadians are also very aware that our country is bigger than the US, even if mostly empty, and I similarly have trouble imagining a Canadian character commenting on how big the US is.
I still think the movie looks fun, but to this Canadian that line was odd. Definitely not something a Canadian would say, and Russia is like three Canadas in size. It utterly dwarfs the US.

In the context of driving across the country, America is big regardless of where you’re from.

Russia is actually less than two Canadas or United Stateses. The United States is not that far behind Canada in landmass. It is just split up between the Lower 48 and Alaska. But yes, I suppose the phrasing was weird. I think there is a version of it that could have worked though.

The only other real critiques I have of it are:
A) It was dumb to move the "backstory" episode to the front, because it was one of the weakest episodes and originally kind of in the middle of the season, where it would have worked better. Also the CGI was extra-bad that episode because it was unfinished due it being moved at short notice, and this had knock-on effects that hurt the CGI on some other episodes.
B) Jennifer comes across as an absolutely freakin' awful lawyer, because they repeatedly show her just doing incredibly dumb stuff that even a mildly competent trainee wouldn't screw up, both in preparing for cases and in court. Like, it's a TV show, you expect the court/law to operate on somewhat fantastical principles, and that was also the case, but why make her look like such an idiot? The show seems to be trying to make out that the law firm is like, being sooooo unfair to her, but it also insists on portraying her as basically incompetent as a lawyer. You can't have it both ways, show! Matt Murdoch isn't treated this way!
