So much makes sense now.

I'm so-so on Love and Thunder, but now we're rewriting Ragnarok as a bad film as well?

Just so I'm clear, if we dislike something DC does we're to respectfully post our review and then disappear, but we can still rag on anything Marvel makes as much as we want, right?

Let me see. For years folks on here ragged on DC movies repeatedly. Attacked me personally for even appreciating and speaking up with enjoying DC films.

I guess that was okay all those years, but now that Marvel Studios is stumbling with certain productions then we make it a DC fanbase problem? Yeah, you must be right.

Six episodes so far of nine.

Saw it.

Exactly!

No spoilers. But no special appearances just yet.

You have to read the room. For example, if you go into the ZSJL thread and start s**tting on it, expect to be met with much backlash because it seems most of the people who frequent this sub are big fans of it. If you go into the Infinity War thread and do the same, I expect you to be met with equal backlash. The quality of the movie/show typically decides the discussion in this sub, and you will always find resistance. It appears that Hector was enjoying this show early on; Haven't seen him post anything negative, really.

And it was even admitted that Marvel was celebrated because some people flip books. So, for them, the narrative that the MCU can do no wrong was only self-serving, and not a commentary on how good the actual movie products are.

I haven’t watched this weeks episode but I look forward to it every Thursday 

I like the show 

Jen has grown on me, I don’t care too much about the production as I’m used to other shows looking like this (albeit not Disney ones)

it’s a sitcom and I’ve always enjoyed sitcoms 

i don’t think of it as a comic property in a bigger sense of a universe, I enjoy it for what it is 

also I wasn’t aware people take attendance or I had to continually post my opinion on a subject especially when it’s against the rest of the thread. What’s the point

I was simply using your enjoyment of the show as a point of reference that there's always different opinions to whatever the 'mainstream' may appear to be here. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just a striptease scene which surprised me on Disney+.

[drotto]

I did finally find a character I like, Mallory Book.  Possibly the only real person in this entire show. I did also like Nikki better this episode, getting her away from Jennifer helps.

 

Overall a mildly better episode, but it is clear the writers really only identify with Jennifer and they are venting their hated and frustration with world through her.  This show may hate men, but at its core I think it hates women even more.  All the women in the show except for Jen, Nikki, and Book are extremely shallow.  They only care about men, relationships, and clothing. On top of that they are relentlessly mean to one another. 

 

I wonder how damaged, lonely, and bitter the writers are, when every situation they create or character they write feels so cynical, and shallow, and they one character they clearly love is always getting crapped on, and like them comes across as bitter, defeated, and lonely. Jennifer to this point is not fun.

ep06

Spoiler

I actually laughed! First time in 6 episodes! - When the immortal guy ran through the glass to fall from the hi-rise to get away from the 2 women verbally bombarding him.

Apparently drunken behavior is what is funny to the writers of the show.

5 out of 10

Great episode. Making fun of the right people in the right ways (dumb internet harassers). 

Josh is nice but it pretty obvious who he is, which is a shame as sometimes it's nice to get character love interests without some hidden connection or motive.

Who is he?

It isn't that obvious to me.

Thunderball (as the intro segment spent lots of time focusing on him, which I don't think was only to connect to the end lab scene) or at least one of the Wrecking Crew.

Yes, it is very obvious and the big bad is obvious now also. There is not a lot of subtly here

completely different actor from the guy who played Thunderball in ep03 though. Unless he becomes a different Thunderball...

I, for one, agreed with your take and tried not to spend too much time harping on movies I didn’t like after that.  I must say, you are probably the one I’m most disappointed in seeing spending so much time and energy on films and studios you don’t like.  That saying I can understand you felt aggrieved and need to take it out and on others.

That's a misinformed assumption. As I try to give MCU, Sonyverse and DC movies and shows a fair try in the hope they will work. Even when there are folks that repeatedly say they will be bad before release.

So playing at I am taking it out on others must be your attempt at projecting. As your first assumption comes across as if individuals that don't appreciate these She-Hulk episodes by default then they must be DC fans (like you must be Marvel or none at all). That ignores the story influences we are seeing played out here. Like in this latest episode with an immortal man that when he gets bored with a love interest (majority women) he kills himself to escape the relationship. Or as has been noted in the scene when the two female attorneys are telling him he needs to improve his views on partnership, he throws himself out the window to escape their 'nagging' and then comes back to life to move on.

It's blatantly clear what these writers are heavy-handedly conveying: men see women as temporary playthings, and just want to screw and move on. Yet if She-Hulk does it, she is just playing the same relationship games that men play at. There are some damaged people on that writing staff.

If Sony did this with its content, people here would pounce on the fact it is ramming social commentary down our throats. But with MCU there is always that hardcore portion of fandom that no matter what, "This is so amazing!"
