Quote:Originally Posted by ComicHoarder I understand how to differentiate between newsstand and direct, but what I am saying is that every copy I've seen of Sensational She-Hulk #1 from 1989 has a barcode. I've yet to see one that says Direct Edition or has a Spider-Man head or something else in the UPC box. Every copy I looked at on MCS that has a scan shows a "newsstand" copy, along with my brief search on ebay. It looks more like it has the same deal as Alpha Flight #65–76, 78, 81–84, 86, 88, Nam ##25–31, 33–36, 38–51, 53–55 amongst others during that time frame that only have a UPC edition and not what I'll term a properly printed direct edition. |

I just watched it and enjoyed it tremendously!!! I LOVE the "Sensational She-hulk" comics (especially the Byrne ones)!! I'm glad that's the direction they are taking this. The new She-hulk series isn't bad either. In the show, I like how Jennifer and Bruce relate to each other as cousins. It reminds me a lot of how my cousins and I were like growing up. I'm really looking forward to watching this show!! |

Wife seemed to like it, like how it played out so far. Not sure what color to paint the wife but it’s probably time. |

I will watch the rest of the episodes. But that 1st one was a dumb, boring train wreck to me. Culminated with the court scene with Titania or whoever that Studio 54 escapee was. Was that actually 2022 special effects? dear lord On the flip side - loved loved the Groot shorts. |

Was enjoyable enough for night on the couch. Will watch the next episode My only gripe is I'm tired of 'smart hulk' in the MCU but that's no fault of this show. |

She's in complete control of her emotions, so if Bruce hadn't shown up, she likely would have killed or crippled someone(s) for coming on to her. But let's ignore that. Her cousin and aunt were abused by her uncle, but she made sure to put that in perspective by describing the horrors of being whistled at, and how speaking out against incompetent, know-it-all men (normally subjective, but her womb assures us she's always correct) will get her labeled as emotional (like when she was about to kill or cripple the guy(s) for coming on to her) or could even get her "murdered". At first, I thought that sounded extreme, but since speaking out against toxic masculinity is all she does, maybe she has received death-threats. Either way, what has Bruce gone through that could possibly top catcalling? Witnessing his mother's abuse and murder and later living with the constant fear of destroying entire cities with his uncontrollable rage? Pfft- What a wuss and loser. We're supposed to be impressed with her automatically perfect amazingness, yet they write her in a "typical woman-driver" scenario. At least she was able to mock Rogers for putting the world's and then the universe's safety ahead of getting laid before she crashed. In fact, was there a male in this episode who was not put in his place? Was there a scene where Bruce wasn't put in his place? I don't think a "message" has ever been clearer in anything the MCU has done. They were 100% correct that this show isn't made for me. Watching any more would be like living the "Thank you sir- May I have another?" scene from Animal House, only standing and being paddled from the front, because that's where the true evil lies. |

She did a good job of womansplaining and shut down any attempt at mansplaining. The guys in the series are beta male simps so far. It's ok to me right now. I'll see where it's going with the next episode. | ||

In Captain Marvel I kind of liked the message of the underestimated little girl who refused to stay down and always got up. This show kind of took the "girl power" thing to a more arrogant and obnoxious level. Trite shite. | ||

Wow...I wonder if you all jump onto internet forums to complain about a depiction of man as an overbearing alpha male with the same zeal you jump onto a woman being portrayed as arrogant and aggressive. I took the whole Steve Rogers thing as a play off of the "America's ass" stuff in Endgame. Which, I found odd and wedged in for cheap laughs during a portion of the movie that it really made no sense. Was she virgin shaming? Or was she lamenting that someone that attractive may have never "got some"? Not the first time I've heard someone do that. I didn't even think of it as shaming. I've also literally heard fans discussing this same topic in a "like, is his dork made of orange rock too" type of scenario. So...they folded it into a TV show for laughs. Didn't really land with me, but I'm not everyone. Bruce took her to an island against her will and refused to let her leave because he was judging her by his experience. Hers was different...she kept trying to tell him "yo...i'm different". And he forcibly kept her captive until she fought her way free. I can literally see both sides of that interaction. I'm curious about those who can't. Quote: Originally Posted by Siggy I have never seen someone more offended by the depiction of a woman...and that's saying something on these forums. Or by the depiction of men.

Quote: Originally Posted by Siggy How do we know this? seems like a pretty big assumption...particularly when we take into account your comment where you get angry about people assuming things about personal threats/danger. Hulk has been depicted regularly in the movies striking "normal" humans who don't just drop dead. Quote: Originally Posted by Siggy As three strange men outside a remote bar start to follow her into the parking lot..that...that didn't create a sense that there was a danger to the tiny woman? Have you ever seen a movie? This is a pretty well established trope. THey weren't just cat calling her. They were physically approaching her, she had nowhere to go. Also, have you every talked to, you know, a woman? That this kind of thing has happened to? I have, many. Based on many discussion with actual women, this is a clearly threatening scenario where many would be inclined to fear for their physical safety.

Without picking apart each and every specific, because that's what folks like to do with anything; it's quite clear of the overall obnoxious/arrogant narrative for that 35 minute show, as a whole. | ||

Hey I guess I'm not up on my Bruce Banner history ... But what does @Siggy mean by Quote: Originally Posted by Siggy I know that Ross's daughter dies at some point so that's bad, but what's this about him being experimented on and whatnot by his father ... and the other stuff? His Father? Mind you I haven't ready any HULK since oh, 1987 or so. ![]() |

Quote:Originally Posted by etapi65 I took it as more of a tabloid/reality-type thing. Look at that famous person, I wonder about their life! Except Jen knows someone who might actually know the story, so she comes up with this "theory" for Bruce as a fishing expedition. I thought it was more weird than funny until the credits scene and then I thought it paid off. Still a little weird. |
