Given how as mentioned orher people instead of just me thought the character was made up for the show instead of a real person, they are a Z lister to international audiences.

I don't really follow recent music trends, so I'm not indicative of society at large. The young people who do the Twitter thing probably have a better idea who she is.
 
So i watched few episode and the show is alright by my account. There is feminist massage here and there not to in your face like some other Tv shows.

My biggest complaint by far really is just the CGI of She-Hulk.

Even Banner looked somewhat better, in part because he's already designed to be a bit more stylized while She-Hulk is supposed to be . . . a conventionally attractive woman, just scaled up about 70% and green.

Edit : I'm saying it trips the uncanny valley. I'm sure the effects team are doing their best under the circumstances. It's just not good enough.

On Youtube there are channels that discuss modern day feminism and how it's negatively influenced everything. Feminism is ruining everything that it touches movies ( Captain Marvel, Blackwidow, Woman king ). songs. real life relationships etc.

There's a large and self reinforcing sphere of haters for all things feminism. They are very powerful on the algorithm, to the point where sometimes it seems like youtube is deliberately boosting that shit (you know, like twitter does. Negative engagement remains engagement)

She hulk is, generally, not attracting a lot of defenders cause the show is just fine, so it allows the people who live to hate feminism dominate the message and the algorithm on youtube.
 
3 years ago i was really in to incel channels. Thank god i pulled my head out of my ass, sins then those channels and videos appear time to time. They are like a cockroaches i unsubscribed and everything.

They are massively overworked and underpaid by Disney, so this is the best they can do under circumstances. Blame Bob Chapek for not hiring more people and studios to help out with the workload.

They also absolutely infest the comments of basically anything that talks about feminism.

Obligatory they went with the really really sketchy CGI instead of makeup because the latter are unionized and CGI crews aren't. I know it isnt fair, but it's something that's definitely made me less willing to watch.

While that might often be a factor in studios using CGI over practical effects, I don't think that practical effects would even have been possible in this case. There aren't really any practical effects that could make a petite actress 7 feet tall and ripped, not that wouldn't look just as fake. They'd have to do what the '70s show did and have two different actors for regular and Hulk version.

CGI artists really need to unionize, but filmmakers are still going to use them even when they do. It just opens up too many options not to.

I was thinking of all the 'talking heads' scenes where they definitely could've used makeup instead. Someone the CGI in those look even more uncanny

I think part of it is that Disney is absolutely all in with their insane usage of CGI and compositing.

Like there are tons of scenes in very mundane locales in Spiderman FFH that were done entirely on a green screened soundstage.

My guess is that this was regarded as cheaper than shipping the actors to a real locale, negotiating for the usage, setting up for the shoot, etc . . .

Also, Disney already has all this tech laying around, already paid for, so they almost certainly want to use it whenever accounting says it will be even slightly cheaper.
 
I haven't watched the Daredevil shows, but I've heard great things about it, and he was great in the cameos for this last episode.
 
It's not just that it has a feminist tone, it's not mage for the usual internet suspects. ...
*episode features a man who's so scared if conflict he'll jump out of a skyscraper window, and a really annoying wedding where she ends up having to iron clothing *
Guys on the internet: "But I uh, I don't see the humor in those situations."

And of course the number one complaint I've seen is that the courtroom drama is unrealistic. Boy, just wait until they find out about gamma radiation...

I think I'm missing the point you're making with these examples. On the immortal guy front I just viewed him as a coward too scared to confront his misdeeds, while the wedding stuff just came off as the protagonist getting bullied by the bride.

I get the impression many (annoyingly vocal) men do not get how women find things like this relatable.

For that matter, some seem to think Jen's meltdown at the end of Episode 8 is a sign of abnormal instability rather than... well she can wreck rather more things when pushed to the point of losing her crap.

I think the show has made the parallel between a certain type of people dismissing the show for very flimsy reasons and the villains inside the actual show dismissing the protagonist pretty clear, honestly. It really feels like they knew the sort of people who'd decry the show on principle well enough they were able to mold the show around the same kind of reaction to She-Hulk in-universe. Which I imagine will mean that, if the show's decent quality holds, we'll see what the show thinks is the rebuke to these people be the main thrust of whichever resolution the season finale will arrive at.

She's a Hulk. The fact that there isn't a crater in Los Angeles shows it wasnt a meltdown.

I mean publicly humiliated is just the beginning- a revealed sex tape is the sort of thing that can ruin a lawyer's career. .

It's worth noting the red lighting. What other movie has a woman publicly lauded, and then humiliated in front of her peers? That was very deliberate.

And you know, the fact that a head wasn't pinged of the city hall tower indicates she had fairly good control of herself. But you KNOW how the media is going to play it.
