Okay, watched the first episode tonight. I really liked and enjoyed this first episode. I hope they can keep up the momentum and churn out something good with this.
Anyone else see this, thoughts?
Good post
@retro junkie - and we REALLY liked the episode and series so far. I think it was great, great call backs to previous movies (etc). We will have to wait to see where this goes... but this is shaping up to be an awesome series.
The quality is also movie-esque. It looks like they threw a budget and quality time at this one.
Watched the third episode. So far good and still enjoying this series. Looks to be winner at this point.
4 Episodes in and I can definitively say it's another strong MCU showing. I'll be honest, I do find it a tad bland at times but not to the point where it keeps me from enjoying it. The CGI can be a little inconsistent as well. I certainly hope they can keep the quality up to the end.
1 word..... Wongers! ;D
So far... really great! I hope they keep this up!
The series has slowed down a bit... but episode 7 was very interesting. We knew what was going to happen lol... easy to call IMO.
Anyone else still digging the series?
I really liked episode 7. Thought it was one of the best ones so far. I'm still digging the show. Still wondering who the lab people at the end of episode 6 are.
I like the show because it knows what it is and doesn't take itself too seriously. The fourth wall breaks are perfect and the cameos are great.
However, there seems to be no long-term plot or overarching deep story. Let's go!
Not sure when this series took a nose dive for me, but..........I am putting my final thoughts on this in a "spoiler." This is just in case someone is not through watching, or hasn't watched yet.
I think the only redeeming quality of this series was the way they integrated the Marvel cameos into the She Hulk storyline. Gave it a comic book feel. I guess there was an expectation of, that there would be some underlining, plot, or subplot, to tie every episode together. It has been sort-of routine with a Disney+ series. They have all been sort-of like a mini series. Unless you consider the back-of-your-mind thought, that, someone is trying to get a sample of her blood. But this has been an under-the-table, how be it, weak in its implementation.This season just gave us an introduction, of who this alcoholic "undesirable" girl that "is" the She Hulk. Not sure I wanted to know, little too much information for me. Not sure if the whole writing, directing, production, the way it comes across, of each episode works for me. I will probably never watch this again.
The finale,.....really? This whole thing felt like Deadpool.
I am not familiar with the character having never read the comics. But seriously, they could have done something better.
[Half way through the series I turned to my Daughter and said, "Let's watch every episode and give it a fair chance." And with the final episode, "One more and it will be over with."]
We loved "Leap Frog."
I liked the ending... though I'm not sure I like exactly how it was performed. However, it was a "does everything have to have a super over dramatic fight?" No... it can end without all that stuff in a semi-calm manner. I Think it stepped back and made fun of themselves a bit... and are trying to show that she doesn't need all the chaos to have a good ending.
I liked the series... it was cool to see something done in a bit different light... though still processing how the ending was accomplished.
Thought the last few episodes were great and much better than how it started. I was worried that the 4th wall stuff would just be the generic "talk to the camera" type but it became much more and I absolutely enjoyed that. Having the show be self aware of what it is and what some of the past criticisms of female superheroes/leading actresses was a nice touch. It was also great to see that it's self aware about the formulaic plot lines that most Marvel films tend to follow.
I'm also really glad that they highlighted all of the nasty vitriol that many women face these days. I think they could've been a little more harsh on that toxic incel mentality since it deserves to be but it was good enough.
Can't wait to see..
Skaar in a proper movie/TV show. Planet Hulk please!
I also really enjoyed the call back to the Lou Ferigno Hulk TV Series. That was soooo good!
