Is This Not Real Magic?

This is the first episode of She-Hulk I've enjoyed watching. It was actually kinda fun.

However, there are still things I dislike:

Firstly, I'm having some trouble getting onboard with all the fourth wall breaking. It works in some shows, but I don't like it in an MCU show. Because the MCU is all linked, if one character acknowledges that's it's just a show, then it breaks any perception of realism for the whole MCU, which spoils it, at least for me.

Secondly, the Hulk CGI is bad, especially in Jen's face when she's talking as her Hulk self. It's almost cartoonish, with more than a hint of the uncanny valley about it. It's unsettling.

I think with better CGI, and none of the fourth wall stuff, I could probably start to like the show.

I need to see that movie.

She-Hulk is just entertaining. It gets a couple of unexpected laughs out of me but not much more. I don't have any expectations for it. It's a fun watch.

It's okay that marvel doesn't always deliver at a hundred percent and I don't think the show is particularly bad. I like the characters.

What I had hoped we would get to see how the law works in the mc universe with all these super-powered people and not just cases like they show in the previous episodes. I guess they could focus a bit more on that.

I hope they do in future episodes.

All in all I had a good time but it's not something I would necessarily rewatch or remember by tomorrow, soo...

Madisynn amd Wong was a fun pair up.

You cannot go wrong with Wong. He is irate that he cannot watch The Sopranos in peace in his Tibetan retreat.

Even more incensed that two bit magician Donny Blaze is using the mystic arts to transport people.

So he hires She-Hulk for a motion to file a cease and desist motion.

Meanwhile Jennifer tries out a dating app. Only to find that she gets more pings as the She-Hulk.

I found it to be a fun episode. I do think the CGI was better, in the previous episode She-Hulk was more animated.

It had a nice insight on going on blind dates from someone from a dating app. The shallow men.

It all goes bat crazy when Donny Blaze really messes up with one of his mystic art tricks.

Good I guess. A little more action than other episodes but I feel like this show doesn't show enough She-Hulk. All these empty cameos with Wong and Abomination, why can't she have her own story. And my gosh all the jokes. Can we go 5 minutes without a joke? Or is all of New Marvel just comedy? To think that Daredevil will also be in this show is insane to me. Four episodes in and still no sustenance or an actual PLOT. Who's the antagonist? Men?

Kind of ridiculous at this point. Even in WandaVision the plot was finally shown in the 4th but this was just another filler episode.

I hope to God they don't ruin Daredevil too. If he cracks one singular joke I'm done. If this is how they're making show I worry for the future. Way too much content with no substance. Truly quantity of quality. This show hasn't impressed me yet and it's the 4th episode but I'll keep on pushing through until the end and then rate the show in its entirety (unlike all the shallow reviewers who rated the show a 1 just off the first episode).

I wasn't planning on reviewing the next couple episodes until the end of the season but I feel like things have actually taken a change in episode 4. I actually liked it, much better than the previous ones and is a huge step up. The first few episodes were tolerable at best while I was actually engaged in this one, the story isn't anything mesmerizing(yet?) but it's a fun watch. Wong was really good in it and I hope he stays in the show for longer, and again I still like the post credit scenes even if others don't. It was actually what helped me keep interested enough to keep watching for the next episode otherwise I was only watching because I don't like leaving series without finishing a season. Everything's still not yet at Marvel standards but it's definitely taken a turn for the better. Hope that continues and the show might actually be salvageable.
