She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer

[Cadence]

What redemption arc? She spent who knows how long torturing an entire town and in the end she just walked away without really paying any price.

Not in the sense of justice for the townsfolk, but losing her husband again and her children felt like a pretty heavy price to me.

 

[Ryujin]

Besides, how do you punish someone with the effective power of a god?

They weren't real. And far from being just a fantasy, they were created in conjunction with enslaving the townsfolk. She lost nothing because she had nothing. It was all fake.

Redemption isn't to be found in the loss of ill-gotten gains.

Besides, how do you punish someone with the effective power of a god?

With another godlike power, obviously.

Oh, psychologically, she did lose something. But the pain of that loss is not a step in a redemption arc - it is merely more trauma.

She definitely lost something her power created. If that's willingly taking on trauma to stop inflicting it on the townspeople, how is that not part of a redemption arc?

Is it said that they were all just running on Wanda's subconscious and not sentient on their own? (Similarly for the Vision).

Had me off checking on the Holodeck. Are Moriarty and the Doctor not real?

-----

Even if they were just her subconscious, are having hope lost, aspirations thwarted. and dreams crushed "losing nothing"?

Of which there seemed to be a definite deficiency, at that time.

Switching genres, if a criminal gives up their ill-gotten gains, is that a first step towards redemption, or just setting themselves up for possible redemptive actions? (Does making amends take more - something to make up for all of the trauma the crimes inflicted on the victims and for the benefit the criminal got from the stolen goods?).

Back in the MCU, is Bucky's meeting with the people he hurt making amends, or just trying to deal with his personal trauma?

Is setting up for a redemption arc really separate from being on one? The arc starts somewhere.

Back in the MCU, is Bucky's meeting with the people he hurt making amends, or just trying to deal with his personal trauma?

Why isn't it both?
