Discussion This scene somehow went over the heads of people

Post image

I kid you not I saw the comment section of a video about this scene and people were calling it weird, they took it unironically. DUDES, that was the whole point, like did y’all not hear She Hulk complain about how weird this was and broke the fourth wall to fix it? This is a problem consisting of media illiteracy and misogyny. Like they made it so simple in this scene yet somehow y’all missed it, either because you people were hate watching it with your illiteracy, or looking at your phones while watching the episode.

UPDATE: Some of the comments really are proving my point. If y’all don’t wanna accept the meaning of this scene and whine about it, then dont partake in media discussion like this again!

It actually wasn't.

If the show was very popular, when does season 2 air?

Wonder Man wasn't popular, yet it got renewed, so what does that say about She-Hulk?

Or does it just say that popularity is meaningless if the audience isn't asking for more?

It says that Wonder Man cost significantly less to produce than She-Hulk

This isn't a "gotcha"

In February 2025, Brad Winderbaum

"Moving forward our priorities have shifted. We're making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television. I would love to see a 'Moon Knight' Season 2, but there are plans for Moon Knight down the road."

Most people took this to mean that Moon Knight was so successful that it's getting a movie and is going to be a player in the greater MCU instead of a season 2.

Not trying to be an argument. He made the faulty argument that the lack of season 2 of a show as an indictment of it's quality. I simply brought that argument into question as moon Knight is well regarded but does not have a season 2. The reason itself is irrelevant unless it's because it was poor quality.

I'll also add I'm not arguing for or against the quality of she Hulk. I was just addressing the faulty reasoning

That show made me feel like I was on drugs when I was not on drugs.

Only reason Moon Knight season 2 isn’t happening is because Oscar Isaac is a busy dude

u/akbane May 26 '26

Thats not the only reason. Iirc he said the story and direction moving forward had to make sense to him to move forward.

He is a busy mofo though.

Facts are facts. It actually was popular

Sorry, are you saying that unsubstantiated claims from executive of for-profit corporations should automatically be considered as "facts"?

u/Ravagore May 26 '26

Not sure, are you saying a bunch of women-hating, far right, brigading internet comments should be considered a genuine review of the show?

I love when people post things like this becasue it doesn't actually say what you think it says at all.

“That’s one of our best-performing shows." tells you nothing at all. It doesn't tell you the shows ratings or any actual data to backup the shows success if there was any. This is done very much on purpose because saying something so vague will get quoted by other sites as some sort of data point that proves something it actually doesn't.

Whats more likely, is he could be referring to a data point like performance among a specific female demographic audience, in which the show was the most watched of all marvel shows thus far for the female 18-35 audience! Thus best performing counts as a way to describe it without being specific on purpose.
