Featured reviews
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.
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)

Wow that was BY FAR the worst thing marvel has put out in the MCU. Was holding out for Daredevil, but i think I will call it quits and just youtube the scenes when they are out.
A lawyer comedy show, where the writers clearly dont know anything about law, and the comedy is not funny at all.
I did not know much about shehulk going into this show, and went in open minded, and actually liked the first episode but epsidoes 2-6 have been so bad I feel insulted.
I was very excited for the known cameos in this show, but instead of trying to compliment the rest of the MCU and build the world, they seem to be content making big MCU characters into a bad joke.

I don't know if this episode was suppose to be a parody of wedding episodes or poke fun of this type, but it certainly felt like another wedding episode that interrupts the season's plot. It does break the momentum going for this season, especially after ending the previous episode with a tease of another fan-favorite character.
The subplot with Mr. Immortal wasn't effective for my enjoyment, aside from the fact that I really tried to enjoy the show since it's premiere episode. That subplot filled with constant bantering and the recurring topics of toxic men & women was not working for me at all. I did feel like I was watching a completely different show, but not in a good way.
The episode only had one fight scene, which that itself was way too short. I understand if the fight scene may have been written or edited short to avoid more work for She-Hulk's CGI design, but I definitely needed more out of the fight scene to show more of the rivalry between the two characters.
As a merciful & lenient reviewer, I thought this episode was just okay at the borderline minimum because of some aspects of the Marvel lore included and the ending scene teasing future episodes moving forward, and I'm really glad it's moving too.

Did you know
- TriviaJen's first fourth wall break in which she mentions that this is a "self-contained wedding episode" is a signal to not expect first appearance of Matt Murdock/Daredevil despite Mean, Green, and Straight Poured into These Jeans (2022)'s tease.
- GoofsThe second shot of Jen placing cash on the bar is the same as the first shot, but flipped and rotated 180 degrees. The serial number on the top bill in each shot is identical. The flowers are also on the same side of the screen, but Jen's hand comes from the opposite direction.
- Crazy creditsThe end credits feature photos from the wedding, Titania having her teeth fixed after She-Hulk punched her, and Immortal talking to one of his ex-wives while making eye contact.
