So... you can peddle this "guys hate her because of sexism" line as much as you like, that is the standard card to play whenever one of these properties fail after all, but then you have to explain the original She Hulk's popularity first. Good luck with that.
I mean she's a funny sexy Amazon. The appeal to male readers is obvious.

Which is why the constant hatred of the show is baffling.
One of the interesting but sad things I noticed is the lack of knowledge that She Hulk is a forty year old comic character and not a 'woke' female version of the Hulk. As in these small amount of people think the show was woke because of a female Hulk.

The only legitimate criticism I have seen so far is the CGI on She Hulk still doesn't look that good. But it is a TV show and not a movie. Not going to have the budget for really good CGI.
I got nothing to say here.

I agree with the CGI thing, it does get distracting sometimes. Right in the uncanny valley.

Wonder if it would have help if she was a bit bulkier.

I agree with that. Not for the CGI but more muscle mass.

I think the problem with her CGI is that skin complexion is too perfect. No blemishes, no lines, moles etc. Look at Banner Hulk in comparison.

Kinda weird to me how her hair grows in length and also straightens out.

I also feel that the shade of green is a bit too neon for my taste, but I admit that more of a person taste than anything else.

It might be that too.

This is usually Winter's thing and I don't want to step on her toes but... the second episode works pretty well as a trans metaphor.

I mean it is about a big life transition so on some level that's probably unavoidable, but still.

The third episode is what I wanted from the series.

Much much more funny oddball lawyer antics.

"I sent a thirst trap: it's a picture of me with a bunch of books".

On the one hand it's a good line, on the other I just know I am going to be seeing that quote cycling on social media for the rest of my life.

I didn't say "guys", I said a specific group of guys. A loud minority, but a small enough one that companies are ignoring them.

But yes I did mean you. You specifically. Because you were going to do that exact rant before I said something and stole your thunder, weren't you?
I like the show. Its not a classic, but its funny enough and I already liked the character going in.

I suspect that is the last thing you wanted to hear. But we have already established that you consider me to be a Nazi. And I consider you to be an easily offended crybaby who enjoys playing the ism, ist and phobe cards whenever you don't like what someone is saying. Life is life, you can't please everyone.
