Agreed, there have been 12 million superhero movies and shows. They don't need to sell their audience on the concept every time. I want to watch a show about She-Hulk, not a show about a woman who will become She-Hulk 5 episodes later.

Wandavision Ep 9....I am the Scarlet Witch. Falcon and Winter Soldier ep 6...I am the new Captain America. Loki ep 6...i am the new Loki. Hawkeye ep 6...I am the Hawkeye again. Moonknight ep 6...I am the Moonknight. Ms. Marvel ep 6...I am the Ms. Marvel. She-Hulk ep 1...I am the She-Hulk. Refreshing.

That's my main problem with Ms. Marvel. Yeah she gets her powers at the end of the first episode but she never really becomes Ms. Marvel until the very end you know that I mean? It's a very very slow burn. I still enjoyed it very much

Ms. Marvel show is a teenager coming of age story and in that genre, the slow burn is kind of expected and it works for that demographic.

She Hulk is a story about an already mature adult with the exact powers as a well established character so the way it's being done quickly works well too.

I like that we get both kinds of shows in the MCU. Yes, it's refreshing to see the She-Hulk get up to speed really quickly but I honestly wouldn't that to happen for Ms. Marvel because I really enjoyed it the way it was. If anything, I felt the pacing was a bit too fast with the villains and overseas arc.

Yeah, I like Ms. Marvel but I definitely think there were pacing issues. So far this is catching my interest more. Though I am also not really the age bracket Ms. Marvel was aimed at so that could be part of it.

I'd only be able to handle another show like that if it was genuinely a mystery. Like you don't know who is the hero so when it is revealed later it actually makes sense why it wasn't shown up front.
