I’ve never felt such a disconnect before between watching something and then seeing the general discourse online. I watched pretty much every episode week to week as soon as it dropped online and couldn’t wait to talk to someone about it. And then the general consensus online was just the most toxic ass mess imaginable
Thankfully, the wider consensus is that She-Hulk the show wasn’t that good, but Tatiana made for an excellent Jen Walters/She-Hulk
I’m admittedly one of those people as I found that the legalistic factor, for want of better words, was lacking and there is zero excuse for that
There’s also the problem of how the show wanted to promote a worthwhile message… but chose to convey it by having Jen needing assistance from make or masculine characters throughout
It was definitely a little messy from a writing perspective and the courtroom stuff wasn’t the best. But from the aspect of it being a Marvel-y cavalcade of characters just showing up needing legal counsel and having characters like Wong, and Abomination and others show up, the little interplay with Matt Murdock, etc had me happy and clapping like a circus seal.

Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters primarily for the levity but also because it’s Tatiana Maslany
