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.

If the MCU starts doing that with their characters who aren't normally like that, I might.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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).
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.

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.
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.
