This last episode was really the only one that I felt was a waste of time. That is; I wasn't entertained. The rest have been enjoyable fluff. If you don't really have anything going on then it's an entertaining way to kill half of an hour. I went into this completely uninterested in the character but willing to give it a shot. It's not great but I'd recommend this before I'd recommend the new Rings show.

Yeah, not that the other episodes have been that great, but this last one was boring and pretty corny. Luckily these episodes are short so it’s only 20 minutes of meh.

:-)...what a god damn clown show this series is.

Got through 1 ep and half of the next and just said **** it.

Other than Spiderman movies, MCU died when Cap/Stark left/died. They did to Thor what they did to Hulk...made him goofy, soft and stupid.

Falcon/WS was ok...couldve been better but some good entertainment.

Black Widow was ok. Gonna miss seeing ScarJo's sexy butt.

Strange2 was a jumbled incoherent mess.

Loki, Wanda and SheHulk series are not worth watching.

Sam and Bucky was terrible. Worst of the D+ series by a large margin.

Loki was pretty damn good and Wanda was fantastic.

SheHulk is a funny sitcom, where the hulk bits are just there for comedy. Plenty of spots in SheHulk where I actually laughed out loud. It pretty much is what it was as a book. Comedy.

I think the problem with the recent episodes is Titania. The show is set up for She-Hulk to play the straight woman against the wacky guest stars, so it rises and falls with how entertaining those guest stars are. And Titania has fallen short. "Kardashian as supervillain" is a funny idea, but they haven't been able to mine much from it so far.

It went a bit better in the latest episode, but yeah, Titania just isn't very compelling.

IMO it's pandering/virtue signaling to cover for terrible writing. That's the ongoing trend in the "entertainment" industry: quickly and cheaply produce content. Who cares if it is good? If it is REALLY shit, just market the hell out of the PC elements to pander to the mouth-breathing twatter masses. For all critiques, fling insults (aka "aNyOnE wHo DoEsN't LoVe PrOdUcT(tm) iS aN 'ist'") to drum up controversy (aka attention/free publicity). Rinse, repeat. End result: absolute garbage is being vomited forth.

What sucks is most of this is on the backs of truly great franchises. This crap has ruined Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr Who, MCU, GoT, and now they are doing it with Tolkien. Fans have had it, and are finally tuning out (thank God). We need to starve this behavior out. PLEASE get back to hiring good writers.

I have heard great things about House of the Dragon, and Andor is receiving praise. The Mandalorian had some really good moments, and Boba Fett, although as a whole kinda sucked, also had some good moments (e.g. when they brought The Mandalorian storyline into the mix). Perhaps they are finally starting to learn that pandering to frothing social media dumbfucks isn't a winning strategy?

1) Yeah, most likely. I'll have Rausch level disappointment with this, though - the storyline won't match the masterpiece they're taking it from. Hope they don't completely flub it.

2) I can see that even though seeing mutants* and Mr. Sinister would be a HFS moment for the entire MCU (and the more I think about it, they won't do that here. Sinister is a major player and seemingly wouldn't fit in this device. BUT, you could make the same argument for Daredevil as well). I wonder who will take on the role of General Ross going forward since William Hurt has passed.




*Marvel is retconning the history of all mutants right now. Instead of saying their abilities were unlocked due to atomic energies, now mutants are humans that were born with their abilities due to having Deviant genes in them, which could be why we got an Eternals movie when we did. Check out the Avengers vs. X-Men vs. Eternals run going on now, it's good.
[Reply]

Exactly.

It is getting to the point where they are incorporating backlash (real or fabricated) as part of the marketing.
[Reply]

Okay, the therapy group was pretty hilarious.
[Reply]

I chuckled through it, but I feel it really is time to turn it up a notch.
[Reply]

Well, all right. After a couple of dogs, episode #8 was really good. Lot's of interesting stuff that I won't spoil but this is a payoff episode for those who have stuck with it. I'm looking forward to the season finale now.
[Reply]

Maybe it wasn't fair of me to include that episode as one of the 'dogs' like the previous one but it was a still a letdown in quality to me. The wedding episode was just bad. The retreat one wasn't really bad so much as mediocre.
