All right, everybody, here it is. Episode 8, spoiler review of Sheehulk. So I don't know if you've been following my channel or not, but if you have been, or haven't been, subscribe to it now. So you can get the, you get all the backstory now about what I'm about to say. Go back and watch the catalogs. Is that what they call them? Who cares?

Listen, I started off with episode one and two, and I said, okay, they keep this balance, man. Then I'm going to dig this show. I really liked episodes one and two. And I thought that there was, I saw what they were going with with the tone. They blended it well with Marvel, the Marvel tone. I said, this is, this is, I can get behind the show. And then three was like an uh-oh. And then every episode since I have not liked.

I've understood that there's definitely an audience for it. And people go, oh, it's okay to say it's just bad. And everybody hates it. It's not true. There are people who love it. I am just one of these people who are just not, do not like the show anymore. But I will say this was probably the best episode since episode two. And what I think that stinks about that is people are going to go,

oh, it's only because you thought a daredevil was in it. And it had a lot to do with it. But it wasn't just the fact that he was in it. It was the fact that the tone shifted back to what it was in episodes one and two. It was that blend of the Allie McBeal's kind of sitcom humor, plus the fact, to be honest, the representation of when she gets the job, to represent people, I thought that was also going to be the show

back and forth with kind of side missions of a superhero. That's what I thought the show was going to be. Now, that's my expectations. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's right or wrong the way that they did it. I just, that was my expectations. And I thought it was a lot of people's expectations. This episode did that. And it started with me watching this asshole.

And I'm like, okay, leapfrog, whatever the hell his name is, Frogger. he and people like oh he's part of the comics he's this i i can't stand that argument he's part of the comics what does that mean anybody can be part of the comics how it's represented and the second this guy's leaping off of things and getting kicked in the face and he sets himself on fire i'm like it just feels like the same type of tone of like all right they really like the boys but they know they can't go that extreme so let's just try to do the boys um and i was worried again i'm like okay this is we're just going to get another one of these things now he now he wants to now he wants to get represented and now they're going to sue now they're going to sue the designer that she loves

and so now she's in a dilemma but i did say at that point but this is kind of what i thought the show was going to be in the first place she's got to represent somebody now she's actually we haven't seen her really do a lot of the lawyer lowering it's been her off doing whether it's she was getting represented for the trademark for she was an actual lawyer she goes to a wedding she goes to a, you know, Tim, Tim Roth's ranch. She's not doing any lawyering. It's all, it's everybody else is. So she's finally doing lawyering.

So I'm like, okay, it's still the goofy tone, but at least that's the part of the show that we thought we were going to get. And then it's kind of switches. And then it switches because the lawyer, who I still think at this point, you know, is the worst, I mean the lawyer, the designer. I think the designer is one of the worst designers in the world. because if I was his publicist or his lawyer or his agent, you are an idiot for getting rid of She-Hulk.

There are two hulks in the world. One's off in space doing God knows what. You're not designed anything for him. The one Hulk in the world wants you to design for her and you don't want to do it because you're stomping your feet and you think you're too cool. You're a moron, is what I would have said to him. But I see what the...

I think the guy playing the designer is fantastic. I think he's doing exactly what he's been asked to do. But either way, sit down and let's get into this thing. She's going after him. She's going to do it after all. And this is when we start to get, okay, well, who's his lawyer going to be? I mean, I guess that's the problem with the buildup at this point is that everybody knew who it was going to be, right? And here walks Matt Murdoch.

Now, everybody's eyes are on Matt Murdoch in the show, and everybody's eyes are on Matt Murdoch when you're watching. because I've been pretty open about it. I really dislike the way they handled Kingpin in Hawkeye. He was terrifying in the Netflix series, terrifying. And it just became kind of a one-note, very easy to defeat villain. And there was nothing terrifying about him at all, and in the great Vincent Donofrio played him. So I was like, are they going to do that to Murdoch here?

And he seemed, I mean, obviously layered down, because there's only so much you can do from the Netflix series. You're not going to that tone. But I thought that Charlie Cox played Matt Murdoch the same way that I remembered him in the Netflix series. And I thought that he played him really well. And he played him with that kind of suave demeanor that he's God. And he and he's really good at what he does. And he comes in.

They don't play too much off of it. He comes in. He does this thing. He gets the designer off the hook. And then he, and then that's it. And that sets up the relationship between the two of them. As he meets Jennifer at the bar, the chemistry between Charlie Cox and Tata Anemizlani was great.

And this is when I start to go, okay, look, I'm finding myself really enjoying this episode at this point because this is the stuff, it doesn't feel like some goofball silliness that doesn't feel real anymore. These are two real characters that, and I thought Tata Mazzani's been great this entire series, but I thought this is the type of stuff where she shines in

where she can actually bring a more real flavor to Jennifer Walters and she is and she's, we know Matt Murdoch's a good guy. We know that she's falling for him. And she's been, the whole series, she's been falling for these turds. And they've been dickheads the whole time, every one of them, right,

one way or another, whether they're using her for She Hulk or whether they're, you know, trying to stick her with a dart after she's sleeping. And we know Matt Murdoch's a good guy. We know he's not going to screw her over. We know that he's got a,

there's another side to him. It's Matt Murdoch. So, okay, this is good. And they're working together. You get a little bit more of the backsterv. Why is he, why is he? Because that's people who are asking,

he's a New York guy. Why is, why is he here? And they tell us, he takes these clients and, you know, he's got the little pro bono thing that we all know. And he's got to come in and he's got to do jobs every once in a while.

And he's also got other stuff going on. So then he gets the phone call. He's got to go. And off we go to the races. Now we're going to go see Daredevil in his new hat. Oh, but you first get this puts. And he steals a Wakanda spear.

Like, this is one of those things also where this you know he's another one of the jerkoffs in her life but i did i'm not i'm not going to lie that with this particular scene i laughed i left pretty hard it was the first time i laughed pretty hard in the scene when when what did he do he said he said something to her at the very end about sticking around or whatever and she's like oh no and she throws the thing it was a very feeby moment from friends and i didn't laugh at that i didn't tell you that you laughed at that i said i laughed at that and um and then she throws the thing into his stomach and takes off.

But then she got more shit to do. Because this is when the episode really picks up, obviously, she gets a phone call from Frog Face that, hey, somebody's on my car trying to get me. So she goes to help, puts on the new outfit, or the outfit that she, I guess the outfit she wore with Bruce. And then she fights, she fights Daredevil, which is a great fight. It was great.

You get to see him and his powers and how he's working with a new suit. They have a battle, fight, and then they're on the roof laughing. But again, it goes back to the chemistry. But what I thought was really great was once we get to this scene where he says, listen, I'm going to do my thing. I've done this a million times over. Let me flip off the roof. And she lets him flip up the roof.

She thinks it's cool. They did show, that's the scene that they showed at D23, by the way, is him telling about the henchmen and all that, and you see their chemistry. But this hallway scene is a tip of the cap to the Netflix. series and they even played a little bit of the the original theme inside of it, which I thought was cool. I've been doing that a lot lately, and I thought it was good. It's paying respect to what Charlie Cox and that whole team did over at Netflix. So I like that. And then she comes in, she crashes the roof down and they have a little laugh. They go in there, she throws a Frogger game

on the floor. They beat the shit at everybody. This idiot, frog face jumps out the window, breaks his leg like a putts. So that's what happens there. So before we get into her going to the gala and the end of the episode. And then they hit it off, literally. They go and they do the deed. He says, like, I go to New Yorkshire. He ain't going anywhere yet. Get to the apartment.

He does the walk of shame. I thought it was funny. Pissing him on and about it is funny. It worked for the episode. I don't think that they, I don't think that they ruined the character at all. I think it was consistent. I thought that Charlie Cox was great. I thought that this is an episode again where Tatiana Mizlani shined.

I think that they stayed away. I mean, minus to be. beginning stuff with the frog, that tone that I've been hating over the last couple of, I shouldn't hate, really disliking over the last couple episodes, was just there for a little bit. And even with the designer at the end, he's like, I'm a monster, of course I'll make the thing for you. And she goes to the gala, but she says beforehand, I thought this episode was over. It's standing on a high note, and then she set you up. They mentioned the Red Hulk.

She goes to the gala. They hacked her phone. She gets pissed off. we see Rage, She-Hulk, which we really haven't seen, and then, you know, cops are on her, and she's in, she's in trouble. Now, Matt Murdoch hasn't left yet, has he? I guess he has. He leaves that day, so he can't come.

He should come back. Take the red eye, come back and represent her. But I liked this episode. I did. And I, and I liked that they didn't, I mean, Matt Murdochx certainly had lines that were funny and things he said, even when he walks in, he's like, I was parking. And he's like, I'm just kidding.

Like, he still has his personality. He still has that thing that he had. He's not, but he's not like, huh? And doing those types. There are a lot of these characters, it feels like every character goes from being normal to the, you know,

look at me with my jokes. I'm a sneaker fanatic now, and I got to go, I got to go to get Avengers merch, whatever it was. That whole episode, that lawyer was good when they started him off, and then he became a goof.

Everybody comes a goof on the show. And they didn't do that. They stayed consistent. I think one, episodes one, two, and nine were consistent in what they were going for in the one set of the tone, and then blending it with the Marvel tone. Because this definitely felt this, to me, one and two felt like a Marvel show. This felt like a Marvel show. But, you know, and I, and I, you know people are going to say it,

and people are going to, oh, of course, the only reason people are people, like episodes because Deer Devil was in it. That's you're right. You don't say that. It's fine. And they can say that in the defense and the attack as well. Like, oh, you only like it because Deer Devil was in it? It's a good show.

You should like it because more so than it's that. It's like, whatever. This is, this episode was good. And I liked what they did with Daredevil. And I know how it's going to end. I don't know, though. I'll be honest. I don't know if I'm going to watch it.

season two for for now i don't know if it's we'll see how it ends i am but i will say this i'm very interested in the continuation of jennifer walters by tata mizlani in future marvel projects i think i i i love what she's doing with with the role i love what she's doing with the character i'm glad that they're getting away from the this whole thing of like we finally gen finally gets confidence and then you know it's exposed and she gets pissed off because this invasion of her privacy and just enough is enough. I liked that. I'm just, I was tired of the whole, like,

she's such a, nobody respects her, and nobody, she's Rodney Dangerfield of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And she's not. She's an attractive woman with She Hulk, without She Hulk, she carries her, she's funny. She has all this, it's like, just her friend and like one or two other people,

and her parents obviously have respect for her, but everybody else didn't. And I'm glad that was kind of, it was kind of gone in this. And I thought that, it was good because it was refreshing. It's the same thing like when I was talking about Cobra Kai. It's like, how long can Johnny and Daniel fight?

Eventually they've got to be friends. And it's the same thing with this. Eventually, come on, let's move it. She's got confidence now, and she does in this one. All right, I'm sure we're going to get a lot of conversation on this one. Like it? Didn't like it? Did you like the way that Daredevil was represented?

Do you think it was consistent? Or not? Let's try to have a conversation here. Comment. I'm going to challenge you guys. Can we get to 500 comments? Let's get to 500 comments. Let's see if you can do it and have a conversation with each other, with me, a whole nine.

And if you haven't already done it, and you're brand new to the channel, subscribe to it, will you? Let's get to 70,000 by the end of the year. Help me out here. Let's do it. All right, everybody. It is She-Hulk, and I appreciate you. Peace.
