The People vs. Emil Blonsky

It was a fun episode. There isn't really more I can say.

It still throws me a bit off-guard when Jen Walters (She-Hulk) breaks the fourth wall, because I somehow keep forgetting that this is a thing in this show, but other than that this episode in particular was quite alright.

It's definitely not the marvel I am used to, but I have no problem with that. The episode had me chuckle a couple of times and it was interesting to see court cases involving superhuman beings. Also, the Megan Thee Stallion cameo was pretty fun.

I still have no expectations for this show and I am also not sure what to expect at all. Regardless, I'm looking forward to the next episode.

You have to hand it to She-Hulk. Thanks to her IMDB have upped their limit of characters needed to post a review.

Now misogynists need to post more words for their reviews. The third episode actually used words about She-Hulk based on Marvel's Instagram comments sections when the show was announced.

It was good to see Jennifer Walters in court as she pleads for Emil Blonsky's parole. There is even a sudden appearance from Wong at the hearing. He is to blame for the prison breakout.

It was frothy and fun but three episodes in and there seems to be no big bad emerging yet as the villain.

What the episode has was several cameos, including a wrecking crew that ended up being wrecked by the She-Hulk.

The biggest shame with this show is what it could be. But it's to busy pandering (as Disney likes to do) and telling us how toxic men are. I love the wink at the view 4th wall moments but it feels forced and just doesnt really add anything. The CGI in this episode is the worst so far. Can't think what it is but something is off. The humour doesn't always land and they have wasted tim Roth.

And don't even get me started on that post credit scene. Just watch that and remind yourself that this is the same studio that gave us captain America the winter soldier. It hurts what they have done to the MCU and I fear that it's just gonna get worse.

The sad thing is, this show could have actually been good if they had writers that were actual humans and had any idea how real life humans interacted with each other. The show just keeps getting worse with every episode and it's not the fault of the actors. The writing is just pure trash between people. I'm starting to think that the script is legitimately generated by an AI that was tortured for years with terrible soap operas and superhero fanfic. No one acts like Bukowski in real life. It's just one imaginary "if only I said THIS!" fantasy moment after the other with strawmen that don't exist in reality.

Also, why did the review board suddenly lose their minds when the abomination hulked out? They're a review board for a super villain prison. They know who and what he is. No one freaks out when Wong portals in without going through security, but hulking out in a containment unit specifically designed to CONTAIN THE ABOMINATION causes everyone to go nuts? It's just sad an pathetic writing.

The reviews complaining about the fourth-wall-breaking make me roll my eyes - I mean, tell me you've never read a She-Hulk comic without telling me you've never read a She-Hulk comic. Jen is well known for breaking the fourth wall in her books - before Deadpool even existed, by the way, let alone started breaking the fourth wall himself. It's entirely accurate to the character to have her doing that on the show.

And to those who think the show is "man-hating," how do you think women felt watching decades of TV shows and movies rife with misogyny and sexism, both overt and systemic? Take a seat and chill about one show starring a female character that dares to express that reality and frustration.

I love the character and am happy to see her introduced into the MCU, especially seeing her integrated so well with Bruce and his story. So far I am enjoying the show reasonably well and looking forward to seeing more.
