lol, that's a pretty perfect description of that scene.

I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention to catch the funny stuff well enough to laugh, but I liked the last line where she replaced "Team America" with "Captain America".

https://www.ebay.com/itm/304598266648?epid=1100971749&hash=item46eb78b318:g:e0EAAOSwq8Vi7qO3&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoDoRqjaHbHR5jEhGBu3TU1TZ5%2FaB4H8GCBG%2B6eHp9KDEvx172WbCzzVixCghBqLlTuWWD0mjDlKBxM0EMWeWu3Va89Dug%2F6hOoQfOGbEfc%2Bpuh3t1EDGrZreKuVwrOxPmd%2BV1sTd4MQaCQXLoxYs6DaPRhEP4SrGg62ut4eoYMryhbXnO9CS1XVpsR9if9%2B%2BCojJ32CHjHESemTwYG9FLzE%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6iwtofXYA&autorefresh=true

And a 9.6 newsstand listed by MCS on newsstand, note that CBCS denotes "newsstand" on slabs )IIRC from 1980-present....unfortunately, MCS doesnt denote that in the ebay title (or their mcs store listing).

MCS lists the slab cert #'s for CGC, CBCS slabs in the title, thats pretty much it.

This is one of the (only) disadvantages with consigning with MCS.


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!!

Just curious, it didn't sour me on the show.


Titania played by Jameela Jamil.

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.

Thank you sir. May I have another? Siggy private msg quote post Address this user
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.

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.

Totally, spaceships dropping from the sky directly in front of a car is totally normal and if it weren't for a woman driving; that would have ended totally differently (read dripping with sarcasm I hope I used enough totallys).

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.

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.

Entertainment is based on perspective, though. We could ask Caligula and Nero about what sort of entertainment they endorsed and/or participated in. What was entertaining to the lions and the good citizens of Rome may have been defined differently by the Christians

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.

I agree, there was no sense to it. It made her seem extremely shallow, IMO.


Bruce took her to an island against her will and refused to let her leave because he was judging her by his experience.
Seems wiser than waiting to see if she would go berserk.

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.
Assuming she knows of Bruce's history, you'd think she would be just a little concerned, but again, she just KNOWS she's perfected being a Hulk overnight.

You still haven't. I'm not offended. I'm irritated that these activists take advantage of the built in fan base in order to scream at the world rather than using their... "talent"... to write something original, because they KNOW very few will watch it, and are too insecure to admit it.

I think if she had seen it descending in front of them instead of turning to see it had already descended into their path, she might have slowed down rather than slam the brakes and turn the wheel hard to the right.

I will go out on a limb and think she didn't lunge at them in order to yell and make mean faces. This is what makes her claim of having control silly, because if there is no difference between her personality and She Hulk's, then why didn't she lunge at them before she changed?
Hulk has been depicted regularly in the movies striking "normal" humans who don't just drop dead.
Trust me. Anytime I see a super being send someone flying across the room and they're okay, I think it's effing ridiculous.

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.
You think they were going to rape her, I think she was going to cripple them. It's a wash.

Could have lead and finished with this. Or even shortened to "man not lead...man made fun of...MAN MADDDD! SMAAAASH.

Why didn't you?
