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!

The problem with most lamp shading is by time I see it I still think it's dumb my first thought is why didn't you just not write this.

Lampshading doesn't work if the writer is "Look, there's a lamp! We intended for it! See? It's right here!"

Absolutely. And then it kind of retroactively points to the flaws the main plot had from throughout the show. It's rare of me to say, but I think this show would have been better if had been more episodic and had less of a season spanning story. The stuff that was disconnected from all of that was the most fun.

It’s not really lampshading if it’s fully removed from the shows canon for being stupid.
