There are a number of times when a person "should" have been punished more in MCU movies and wasn't.So I thought about it a bit deeper. Why did it bother me so much in this show and not elsewhere?The answer.... the spiderman phrase "With Great Power comes Great responsibility". The classic separation between heroes and villains is that heroes take responsibility for their power,Now sometimes the MCU does that "externally", by actually inflicting punishment on the heroes when they do wrong. And sometimes its "internal", we see the heroes struggle with guilt, vow to do better, etc etc. But whether its internal or external, the common heroic theme is....heroes rise with their power, they pick themselves up, they take responsibility, they become better versions of themselves, etc.That is what is missing from She-Hulk to me. There is no real character growth. You could say Jen has learned to be comfortable with her alter-ego....which is something, but its pretty flat all said and done. Had She-Hulk taken that moment as a bit of a wake up call, "maybe Bruce was right, I do have to respect these powers and what they mean", that could have been some interesting character development. Instead everything was just tidied up with a nice little bow, bad men did bad things, hulk smash, all is good for hulk again. Its....boring when your characters don't grow and evolve.</blockquote>
