I haven't even bothered to write much about "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" because the advance reviews and the post-embargo reviews have all been negative, at least if the reviews comes from someone with a brain. Here's a meme that's been floating around; it encapsulates the central hypocrisy of the show's star, Tatiana Maslany, saying that Marvel women are unfairly oversexualized while appearing as She-Hulk and twerking with rap star Megan Thee Stallion (pronounced "Megan the Stallion" according to Wikipedia; I had no idea who this girl was):
Ryan Kinel points out that Thor appears nude in "Love and Thunder"—stripped naked by Zeus—and that's something that would never happen to a female character. Meanwhile, Captain America's ass is the focus of jokes in "Avengers: Endgame," and Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk has a wallpaper of Captain America's ass on her cell phone (she also obsesses over whether Cap was a virgin for a long time... imagine having the same discussion about a female character). Hypocrisy all around, and another show that's being dumped on by regular folks while everyone involved in the production is calling these fans racists and bigots instead of facing the series's actual problems.
Finding something worth watching is getting harder as I get older.
