She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (spoilers)

[LadyTevar]

Almost as entertaining as the show itself (which I am thoroughly enjoying) is watching the dude-bros/incels losing their shit over a show they don't like being popular and well-received.

Even though I don't watch those vids some of the titles of the vids Youtube likes shove to me are hilarious by themselves already, you have to wonder who fragile ones ego must be if the idea that there's a popular series that has lead that isn't like them causes this much rage for them.

Because recent political agendas have emboldened them, so they feel they can crawl out from under their rocks and parent's basements and spew the shit they couldn't say before?

Because the internet has made "being incel" a THING, and they're basking in the attention, no matter how negative because at least it's ATTENTION, given to THEM.

That whole line reminds me of Sir Terry's Making Money and the behavior of one Pucci Lavish.

Episode 3 was a pretty fun episode. Started strong but maybe a slightly cheap ending for Blonky, I wonder if he’s coming back.

I really dug the humour in this episode, the fourth wall break in the car and Wong’s first chat with Jen especially. Wong seems especially out of touch with society and the law here, I wonder if that’s because he’s out o his element or whether he’s doing a bit of obfuscating stupidity to cover for Blonksy.

The sudden introduction of inhibitors is a bit odd especially with episode 1 specifically saying Bruce’s was custom design that would only work for him.

The elf/male douche DA plotline was fine and I do like a lot of the jabs at other bits of the MCU. The social media stuff with Jen and baseless rumours going out of control was also very apt and real.

And then the lead in for next time is wrecking crew. Eh, I assume they are supposed to be unimpressive at this point.

Really though I want more Jameela Jamil and Titania.

Oh and I had now idea Megan Thee Stallion was a real person and not a parody until her name was in the end credits.

[Batman]

We see Wanda wearing something that looks suspiciously like an inhibitor collar in the breakout sequence at the end of 'Civil War' , so it not like they're new. In larger Marvel they've been around since freaking forever.

[LadyTevar]

I might actually have to listen to Megan Thee Station now. That credit song was catchy, and the one after the Stinger was wicked as well.

But OMG, the Social Media about She-Hulk. I swear they took Every Single BIT of it from all the Incel Whiny Butt-hurt Male BS that was posted on the Internet from the time Captain Marvel was announced and used it!

"Did you steal that stuff from a New Asgardian Construction Worker?" Uhh.. Yes. They did. They're a little pitiful right now too. But who is their Boss and why does he want She-Hulk DNA (blood/skin/whatever).

And I wonder if Blonsky is living high with his 7 maidens now.

Yes, apparently those posts were actual quotes from social media

I figured.
Wonder how long before one of the a-holes quoted throws a hissy over his words being used like that?

[Crazedwraith]

That's an assumption that Wanda's collar was a power inhibitor.

And like I said if they are possible and common, that contradicts the pilot episode where Bruce's inhibitor device was custom and couldn't be replicated for Jen. The show can't have it both ways.

And if they are common why is it a brain wave from Jen that suggests it's use and not standard practise?

[Batman]

I didn't 'assume' it was an inhibitor, I said it 'looked like one'. And the show can have it any way they want. Bruce not being able to replicate a device HE cobbled together meant to deal with his specific condition does not mean that somebody with the resources of SHIELD or the US government couldn't come up with something that works for most of the OTHER superpowered yahoos.

[Crazedwraith]

Yes because in the MCU the government has always had better tech than Tony Stark and Bruce Banner obviously.

And if it's something the government just has access to as standard issue they can use, then why does it take Jen to suggest using it?

[GuppyShark]

I just assumed that meant she'd run it past Bruce and his inhibitor should also work on Abomination since the two are so similar. If inhibitors are as normal as is implied, that should have come up before.

[Crazedwraith]

Bruce and Emil are a lot less similar than Bruce and Jen. Especially given Emil is a combination of hulkiness and knock off super soldier serum.

[Broomstick]

Or maybe someone was able to custom-make an inhibitor for Blonsky.

He's been in jail for a long time. Why couldnt' there have already BEEN a inhibitor made for Blonsky, for in case he got free and went on a rampage and needed to be beat down and returned to jail.

[Broomstick]

Well, it's becau-- OH, LOOK, OVER THERE - IS THAT THOR?

[Crazedwraith]

...because why wouldn't they already be using it/ wouldn't it already be a requirement for his parole?

[Broomstick]

Maybe they have to be custom-made for each person and tuned to their abilities? That might take time and only be practical for certain people who either lack control or can't be trusted with their abilities.

[Gandalf]

That would make the most sense, as opposed to being some some of universal off switch for people's comic book differences.

Unless everyone's powers use the same underlying power source, and it disrupts the connection (like Sorcerers all using dimensional energy). However, the odds of that being the case are extremely low.

[EnterpriseSovereign]

I'm not sold on the fourth wall breaking to be honest but apart from that I'm enjoying the series, it's good to finally reveal the fate of Abomination. Last time he was mentioned was in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. where he was in a cryo cell. They mentioned that it was the dodgy super soldier serum mixing with Hulk blood that led to his rampage, though as a unique case it cannot be proven definitively and has to be taken at face value.

And a solid connection with Ten Rings having him participate in the fight club. It wasn't revealed how Wong contacted him though, like did he write to him beforehand or did he just abduct him from his cell out of the blue?

[Solauren]

Possible - Abomination was given early parole after the Snap. Probably due to him using up resources that could have been better used elsewhere, and possibly completing other conditions.

[EnterpriseSovereign]

He's been in jail for a long time. Why couldnt' there have already BEEN a inhibitor made for Blonsky, for in case he got free and went on a rampage and needed to be beat down and returned to jail.

Do we know definitively that Professor!Hulk isn't as powerful as Hulk was (disregarding Blonsky writing him a nice letter)? If he isn't, then the only things that could reliably stop him are either the Hulkbuster armour or Thor if he isn't off world.

Well you only have to look as far as Deadpool 2 to find bona-fide power inhibitors in the present day. The Kree have them too, though like with Hulk the device they used on Carol Danvers was custom made. I'm wondering what the in-universe explanation was for why Abomination wasn't housed in the Raft, it seems like that prison would have been the logical place to house him.

In that regard they're similar to Vulture's crew as criminals making use of stolen alien tech/gear.

Episode 4 is another one that felt like it was only just getting going by the time of the end. With the problem of the demons and resolution all being one quick thing.

Jen's dad is a sweetie. The bad dates were appropriately funny. Bummer that the one decent guy isn't into Jen not as she-hulk.

Jen could have made more a deal out of the difference of sleight-of-hand and actual magic. I don't buy the Judge was taken by Donny Blaze. And they could easily allowed him to practise illusion and not use the slingie for example.

More Titania next week though looking forward to that

Yeah, I keep wanting more with these.

Jen's dad is a sweetie. The bad dates were appropriately funny. Bummer that the one decent guy isn't into Jen not as she-hulk.

Yeah, he turned out to be a bit of an asshole - I mean, sure, if it's the She-Hulk he's into that's fine I suppose, but assuming he has some smarts (and he seemed to) he should have been able to figure out that the lady in the kitchen was the non-She-Hulk form of his date and he could have been more polite to her. After all she's the same person.

But also realistic in that people who seem to be decent can also be shallow, too.

Jen could have made more a deal out of the difference of sleight-of-hand and actual magic. I don't buy the Judge was taken by Donny Blaze. And they could easily allowed him to practise illusion and not use the slingie for example.

Think perhaps the best course would be for Kama-Taj to trademark/patent/whatever the slingies so he can't use that to open portals. There is the problem that US law (and probably most law) doesn't cover use of magic.
