I've been on board for the craziness of this show; but this episode, entertaining as it was, comes damn close to ruining continuity. It's hard to imagine this as part of the MCU proper. Why would Wong try to sue a guy for using dangerous magic instead of just taking care of it himself? As I was watching the show I asked why they wouldn't just imprison him in the mirror dimension or something, and Wong finally suggests this during the trial. The sorcerer supreme sues a guy for using magic. The entire concept is ridiculous. And it works within the context of this goofy ass show, I laughed plenty watching it. But again, this guy fought Thanos and his minions, now he's suing a hack magician. The show works much better if you imagine it as a live action What If story.

But the writing by Jessica Kelly Marie Tran Gao sucks.

But the writing by Jessica Kelly Marie Tran Gao sucks. The show doesn't seem to be about anything, which is fine I guess, for a comedy; but it's really a problem when you have established characters show up and act like total morons. Overall I did think it was a funny episode, but this version of Wong (or at least the decisions he's making here) is irreconcilable with the version we've known to this point.

Ive not read She Hulk comics but this feels like the tv version of a Deadpool comic in the way that...its not worth trying to figure out how it fits into the bigger picture. Its just meant to be lighthearted and wacky. As an example...Deadpool once did a job for Norman Osborne and Osborne didn't pay him. At the same time in other comics Osborne is this big bad evil guy who has seized a lot of power and is running his version of Shield and the Avengers...but in the Deadpool comic Deadpool annoys him until he commits to paying him, by withdrawing money from various atms because the max withdrawal is like 500 dollars.
Its goofy. Its a sidebar to the drama. I think a lot of viewers may be overthinking it.

I think people are just more accepting of this stuff in a niche medium like comic books, compared to something that’s part of the biggest Hollywood franchise of all time.

I can't think of another franchise that switched gears up this hard for separate projects. Maybe the Childs Play franchise.

I never would’ve guessed that would happen in a million billion years.

I never would’ve guessed that would happen in a million billion years. The problem is, for a comedy, this is surprisingly unfunny. It has a lot of the same issues as Thor L&T, where majority of the humor is dependent on silliness and goofiness. Very very rarely do you get a well-timed punchline or even a tasteful pun. The first Avengers movie, GotG1 and Ragnarok are far funnier than this even though those shows were never comedies. I really miss old-school MCU humor. Back when they mostly used witty-banter and unfortunate predicaments for laughs.

I wondered while watching this why, if they wanted to make it a straight up comedy, they didn’t actually hire writers who could achieve that. The humor feels very forced and awkward. I don’t know if the writers here have a background in comedy, but based on the first 3 episodes I’m guessing they don’t.

But again, this guy fought Thanos and his minions, now he's suing a hack magician. The show works much better if you imagine it as a live action What If story. I actually felt the opposite of this episode. Yes the Sorcerer Supreme needing legal councel for a sling ring the guy shouldn’t have in the first place is wonky, but Jen’s arc this episode vindicated previous ones for me. Seeing Jen in super hero action, fighting goblins while simultaneously begrudging her nightlife that she left for this is the heart of the show. She-Hulk was about to ruin Jen’s date, but then she salvaged it only to find out that Jen ultimately ruins it… giving Jen back-to-back moments of spite toward her alter ego. It’s evolving into a Banner/Hulk relationship, albeit in a different and more complicated way. Her professional career requires She-Hulk, her supernatural friend require She-Hulk, her dating life requires She -Hulk, and now she realizes that these are all negative circumstances she has been feeding obliviously. The part about previous episodes being vindicated is something I’ve been thinking about. Episode 1 had a huge CGI budget as they wanted to start with a bang and was the best episode so far. But 2 and 3 were just kind of setup going in no particular direction. This episode now begins to interweave that setup to pay off later. Had this been an hour long show, this would have happened at the end of episode 2 instead of episode 4. But these 30 minutes episodes aren’t what we’re accustomed to so it’s not sat the same. But I like where this is going now, I feel the flying goblin scene gave the show its identity to move forward with. Jen now has a She-Hulk problem.

I don’t know if the writers here have a background in comedy, but based on the first 3 episodes I’m guessing they don’t. To be honest, I'm having a hard time seeing this show succeed in any particular department. It says it's a comedy but it's surprisingly lacking in decent punchlines and actual laugh out loud moments. It tries to be a sitcom but it fails to create an interestingly fleshed-out emsemble of characters which you need for a sitcom. You can't build a sitcom on a single titular character surrounded by caricatures. I thought it would be a superhero show but we barely have 5 minutes worth of superheroics over 4 episodes. It can't be called an action adventure because there's barely any action or adventure. It's definitely not story-driven, as there's no overall story to hook you in. So at the moment I'm just left scratching my head trying to figure out what the showrunners want to do with this show. For all my complaints about Ms. Marvel, at least that had a rhyme and reason to it. This show feels a lot more like those comedic shorts with Thor and Daryl.

We got a Daredevil tease at the end of the episode.
Sadly that is the only thing worth mentioning about with this episode.

And my DisneyFlix runs out this week, I think. Honestly it was a very meh episode. They're really stretching this 9 episode thing. I feel like WandaVision used their time a lot better than this show. At least with WandaVision I found my self hooked by this point. With She-Hulk, I'm just waiting for the Daredevil episode. Marvel really needs to start hiring better showrunners and writers.

Can someone explain why Titania is still running around free even after she broke into a courtroom and tried to murder the entire jury?
