She-Hulk was fantastic. It captured the ridiculousness of the comics, balancing satire with action and some fairly decent CGI. It wasn't perfect, and I'm not going to defend the twerking except to say that it made me laugh the first time I saw it because it was unexpected. Tim Roth was great, Madisynn and Wong could be its own series, and the red-pill incel cult was topical.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but you won't convince me that a large percentage of the people stomping on the show are mad about being portrayed in the show. Some criticisms are valid, and I get why someone expecting an action adventure were disappointed to see a self-referential legal satire and dating drama that breaks the fourth wall. But there were too many people gleefully blaming the show's shortcomings on "going woke" or "attacking conservative men."

There are also a lot of critics who are simply tired of the oversaturated comic show markets, and torching the show was excellent for clicks and engagement (in large part due to the glee I just mentioned).

This is a shame because the world desperately needs conservative men to be mercilessly made fun of or we are doomed.

It would be easier if they didn't have money on their side

Madisynn and Wong is so funny, it makes the rest of the show worth it. Also the scene with Daredevil doing the walk of shame barefoot in his costume after sleeping with Jennifer.

Tim Roth was friggin' amazing! Those hilarious motivational posters he had everywhere. "Today is today", wonderful.

I'm glad they didn't stick with the comics for Brave New World and have Red Hulk assassinate Abomination. I hope we get more rehabilitated Roth.
