2/10 is frankly quite generous to this filled with cringe episode, it's probably one of the worst filler episodes of any limited serie i have seen so far, and perhaps the writers thought that making the lead actress acknowledge the fact that it is an anticlamatic episode at this stage is smart writing or maybe they thought it would make it less worse. In a sense it was like a cringe alert so that is why it deserves a +1 for effort. In general this is so far a poorely written show that i believed will get better, but unfortunately I find myself giving less stars from an episode to the next. At this stage I just hope that they will not massacre other caracters like daredevil, it will be like the final straw for the series.

6 episodes into She-Hulk and we still have almost no clue where the underlying story will go. This episode was sort of frustrating to me, as it doesn't do anything to further the narrative of the show and just focuses on something as meaningless as a wedding of her friend from High School? That didn't make sense to me, neither did bringing back Titania as it seemed as though she already overcame that threat in a previous episode. Speaking of, Titania is a pretty below-par MCU villain, as she poses barely any threat and is inherently written to be an over the top and ridiculous character. This makes her pretty laughable really, and it doesn't build any tension and all the fights with her in it are a bit lame, as we know She-Hulk is going to win easily. Back to the narrative of the season, so far, it's been very irritating. All the episodes set up plot threads, but don't follow them up at all. They all choose to tell small, self-contained stories which is fine for one or two episodes, but shouldn't make up a whole series of television. There does have to be some overarching narrative that your series builds up to! And so far with She-Hulk we haven't seen that. This episode has just been a continuation of this. Just another small, relatively boring episode of television that doesn't add anything, or further the plot of the series. I'm worried that they won't be able to wrap up the show effectively in the final few episodes. Hopefully they won't mess up Daredevil at least.

(And seeing the guy that plays Rafe's drug-dealer friend on OBX as a DJ was kinda funny)

...Only, not as entertaining or as interesting as you would probably think it would be on the screen.

The episode's A Story feels pretty random in terms of set-up, the B Story feels like filler - but somehow manages to be more interesting that what is going on in the A Story, if you can imagine that.

Chances are, you have seen just about every sitcom centered on the concept of a wedding in a movie or television series, everything from high-brow to low-brow going back to the earliest days of motion pictures, or, if we're being general, storytelling to the days of ancient myth. The idea of having a Marvel hero in that kind of setting sounds like it could be funny, even to the male members of the viewing audience, but unfortunately the jokes play out like something you would see in a work that was heavily criticized on release, i.e. Bride Wars, and just about as cringe to watch I would also add.

I just cannot really recommend this episode in the series.

66% of the show has passed, there is no comedy anywhere to be seen, no actual plot, no characterization, no real villain revealed yet, and Shulkie still looks like a PS2 NPC.

The lawyers don't act like actual lawyers at all and all act like circus clowns. I get that there's really no comedy without characters acting like a buffoon, but that's for when the show is not connected to any universe and has its own separate universe where the characters can be goofy and not feel cringey and awkward, not when we're in the MCU which they've been trying to make look as real as possible.

I gotta admit, the reveal of the groom was actually unexpected and actually funny, but wouldn't you know, the writer decides once again to focus on the most boring and uninteresting non-events instead yet again, and they only show that joke for like 5 seconds. They actually had a decent idea to run with and they didn't, that's how brilliant the writing is.

And instead, what do we get? Cringey scenes with Titania - another waste of a good actress, and awful CW-level fight scenes. Awful dialogue written for each and every character and people just saying what they think via dialogue without an ounce of subtlety that makes Obi-Wan Kenobi's writing look like Chinatown's script.

And not to mention that unsurprisingly every 5 lines of dialogue is about "half the population bad". Like are you as a writer working for the biggest entertainment company in the world, so oppressed by the existence of the half of population that you have to remind us how bad they are every 3 minutes of your show?

I don't even know why I'm giving it a 2 because I didn't enjoy anything from this episode other than the groom joke that only lasted for 5 seconds, and the B plot was only interesting for 10 seconds too only when the window thing happened and I've already forgotten what this episode was. Like they actually had a funny idea with the groom and could've made the wedding more tolerable and they went "nah, let's have she hulk have the most uninteresting fight with tatiana."

I really don't know what the point of this show is actually. Feige might as well should've handed over this show to a bunch of TikTok cringe stars to write for him because this is basically on the same level as Attaway General, only with better actresses.

No amount of cameos can save this show, only could make it more tolerable. And it's really telling when the cameo characters of much much better shows are better than the whole everything of this show. But I'm pretty sure we all are anticipating them butchering another great character with their unfunny unprofessional Gen Z TikTok writing. Suffering.

The freewheeling, devil may care attitude of "She-Hulk" is what makes this show so entertaining. As a self aware, fourth wall breaking series that doesn't have the absolute world ending stakes of other Marvel fare, this is somewhat of a 21st century sitcom - and I mean that as a compliment. It's fresh, funny, often absurd in the most unpredictable of ways, this is a show that shines when it lets it's weirdness fly. It's a shame some of the reviews of this series seem to be political for opaque and illogical reasons, because this is a great, funny show with a fantastic actor in Tatania Masilany at its centre. The supporting cast, Jamil, Gonzaga, Harrison, and Goldsberry are all fantastic here as well. The mix of drama, tension and a lot of humour in this episode great, and it's *different*. The meta element adding in realistic internet comments and threats is also a bold and brilliant commentary on the current North American culture and zeitgeist.
