It's a funny light hearted show that doesn't take itself too seriously but unfortunately everyone that reviews this show does, or simply hates that a woman is centre stage.... again.
I chuckled a number of times throughout the show as I have done all the episodes. No it's not the best show ever, not even close, but it's far from the worst either and it's a refreshing change from the usual MCU series.
My main issue with the episodes are their length, way too short and they should have halved rhe amount to episodes to double each episodes length. Waiting a week for a 25 min episode is by far my biggest gripe.

I never thought about a situation where a superhero would find themselves in a lawsuit because someone claimed copyright over their chosen moniker, but that is actually a really funny idea, especially for this show. This show deals with these lighter things and uses its sitcom style narrative devices to actually tell it quite well. I'm not entirely convinced that this style is fully working, but it's definitely the best version of this show that it could possibly be that we're seeing unfold every week. This episode was another strong one that introduced a hilarious new character into the mix and really utilized its courtroom setting.
So with this whole copyright strike going around, Jen needs to go to people she can trust to support her in bringing down Titania in the courtroom. A lot of different characters were introduced or fleshed out in this episode, and I think that Mallory Book serves as a nice supporting character for this show, and someone who Jen can go and take advice from when she needs it. I'm also liking how Titania is becoming the lowkey main antagonist of this show, but that it's done in such a pedestrian way that it's almost hilarious. It seems like the perfect baddie for this show, so I'm glad they're doing it this way. The MVP of this episode, though, was Luke, the fashion designer who specializes in making suits for superheroes. This guy was hilarious and Griffin Matthews gave a great performance as this character, stealing the show from some of the show's veterans. It didn't entirely work for me, though. I'm still not fully into the Pug character as the show seems like they don't really know what to do with him. His side quest this episode was rather weak and I feel like they didn't need it to explain the fashion designer and how they found him at all. However, I like Josh Segarra and I like his acting on the show, so I'm hoping that they actually find something more substantial for him to take on and make him a more valuable player. The rest I thought was pretty damn good.
"Mean, Green, and Straight Poured into These Jeans" continued the courtroom part of the show that I think is the best and did it well. The side characters are still a little wasted, but it seems like they're finding more substantial ways to include them, which is good and will hopefully improve more next week.

Nothing happens, nothing. Why was this ever a thing. The MCU is really losing its way on the comedy side of thing. This is just a joke to the original Phase of the MCU. Why cant we have true comic book characters
I still cant get over the CGI of She Hulk its just out of Sims from the 00s where i cant get over it.
Hate the fashion part. Enough said. The rubbish of the Titania as a character i'm again having to say that im just here for the true superheroes later in the series.
One last thing going from the dark underground workshop of Mevlin to the ridiculous superhero fashion place to redesign Daredevils suit its not going to be a shock that the character might be ruined under the Disney banners.

It's a superhero series without the super and it's trying to be a law series too, but it can't even do the courtroom scene right. So I am really lost as to who this is aimed for, as it not only does one thing poorly it actively insults the genre of each with how badly it's made.
Not even the CGI can save it, as it's part of the really bad thing too, as not only are the looks in the uncanny valley but the sizes of her keeps changing too depending on where in the shot she is, like there was not way for the artist to make it consistent.
And the "jokes", I am using quantitation marks here as anything else would be a insult to comedians, are very flat and some are almost comically bad, though they don't even seem to be able to hit that level of comedy.

I love the lead, she's great. But everything else just does not work. The jokes fall flat, the script is tired and boring, The rest of the cast give mediocre performances and don't get me started on the CGI. I realise this is on a tv show budget, but hulk related scenes are just jarring and cheapen the show.
Who am I rooting for in this show, what's the point it's trying to make and where is it heading.
I remember when the Marvel franchise used to make me excited, but now it's just a drag. Wandavison started with some promise, but soon faded. Loki was ok (I guess), Falcon and the Winter Soldier had its moments and Hawkeye was largely forgettable.
Now it's all just a bit meh. Such a shame.

- TriviaThe plot of this episode is Jennifer Walters being sued by Titania for trademark infringement. In real life, the She-Hulk character was created by Marvel Comics precisely to preempt this legal situation with the producers of the The Incredible Hulk (1977) television series. The creators of the series were rumored to be considering creating a female version of the Hulk, which would have been owned by them rather than by Marvel.
- GoofsReference is made to Nikki speaking "Chinese," including by Nikki herself. There is no such language. There are a number of dialects spoken, with the most widespread being Mandarin in China itself, and Cantonese in the rest of the world. While it is not uncommon for a layperson to mislabel a Chinese dialect as simply "Chinese", someone who actually spoke the language, as Nikki is purported to do, would know the proper name of the language they were speaking.
- Quotes
Jennifer Walters: What is this? "Snake venom lip plumper." She's literally selling snake oil.
- Crazy creditsThe title turns pink and silver and the subtitle changes to "by Titania", reflecting Titania having taken the She-Hulk name in this episode.
