It’s for the best. You probably would have had an aneurism over the Mouse-mandated episode where the very real, everyday, normal person problem of identity theft is morally and legally equated with copyright infringement.

Well, this explains why Armor Wars has been conspicuously absent from the slate: it's being reworked into a movie.

Maybe now they can afford Sam Rockwell!

She-Hulk: I really like Blonski and his group of misfits. I really hope that they're legit and not part of some apparent conspiracy against Jen, which could certainly be a possibility considering Blonski's status as former villain and that his sharing circle included one of the goobers that attacked Jen a few episodes back.
I hope that when Jen eventually faces off against whoever HulkKing is (my guess is still The Leader, finally getting his follow up after being hinted in The Incredible Hulk) Blonski and crew show up and everyone assumes they're there to side with the villain but they all go 'Nah we're here to help our friend Jen.'

Tim Blake Nelson is back as Leader in Captain America 4, so I don't think he'll show up here.
The Leader feels like an obvious choice, given that this is a She-Hulk show, and The Intelligencia has already been established as The Bad Guys. But MCU also likes to swerve in a way that really throws comic fans for a loop, so instead I'm going to say It's Teddy Altman, because "Hulk King" sounds like "Hulkling", and I think he's the only Young Avenger to not show up yet

I mean, Kang was in Loki.
Technically incorrect
I am blown away that Namor has the foot wings.
I'm impressed that they got Namor at all. Thought those rights were way too tied up with bullshit or something.
I mean, Disney bought FOX to get around the licensing bullshit with the X-Men and Fantastic Four, but I mean, like...X-Men and Fantastic Four, you know. Didn't think the Submariner had a chance of getting in the MCU.

Might be a Hulk situation where Marvel doesn't have the rights to distribute a solo movie but can add him into a larger Marvel thing

She-Hulk is, like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a comedy show about a California lawyer who is having a crisis about her current circumstances, and doing so with a relatively grounded feminist lens. The most obvious difference is that the aspect of heightened reality from which the comedy derives its identity is big punches instead of song and dance. The trouble is that She-Hulk, as enjoyable as I'm finding it, is simply not as focused in its storytelling as CXG was, and as a result the more overtly feminist bits sometimes feel less like a joke about or involving the main characters as it is about feminist concepts themselves -- and part of that is simply that I'm not at a point where I feel any sense of charity toward Disney. CXG might be the single most remarkably narratively focused show ever on television (and at least some credit to CW renewing the show until the showrunners and writers came to the conclusion that the story was done).
Of course if you've been watching she-hulk and wandavision and haven't seen CXG, you really owe it to yourself to do so.
That said, She-hulk is overall pretty decent and enjoyable so far, and given how these Marvel shows can be, who knows where it's going to end up.

This looks so fucking good.
It has not escaped my notice that "WAKANDA FOREVER" is about eight hundred times bigger than "Black Panther" in the logo, so I wonder if the story of the succession of the Black Panther mantle is going to take more of a backseat here. Given that Letitia Wright has come out as an anti-vax wackadoo, I really hope that Nakia ends up becoming the BP instead of Shuri. I guess it's tradition that Wakanda's monarch also serves as the Panther, and Shuri is clearly next in line for the throne, but there's no reason they couldn't split those roles up and it makes in-universe sense to do so. I guess we'll see.
T'Challa died for a bit in the comics and Shuri became Black Panther and when he came back he was king but she was still the Panther for a while, so there's precedent.
I unfortunately had the identity of this week's guest star spoiled for me by an A.V. Club headline, but it was still great!
Daredevil! I don't like his new suit! Hallway fight!!!
"May I remind you that the Sokovia Accords have been repealed?" YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS THEY FINALLY DEALT WITH THIS AWKWARD PIECE OF CANON THAT MADE NO SENSE FOR YEARS, I'M SO HAPPY
Jen's hurt, helpless look at the camera in the final shot of the episode! I'm so sad!
This show is great. Wait, is next week really the finale!? Shit, I thought we had two episodes left.

Yeah, I like this show a lot. Depending on how the finale wraps up it might be my favorite MCU show. (Admittedly not saying all that much.) Loved the Daredevil walk of shame, I want that pairing to be a thing forever now.
I had big stupid grin on my face the whole dang time. Matt Murdock!! Ahhhhhh! Those cheeky fucks even had the audacity to give him a hallway fight and then have Jen Hulk smash it instead. And that little tease of the Daredevil Netflix theme? Amazing. It's me, I am the sucker for this fanservice.
Despite all his brooding and guilt, Daredevil is suave as hell, and it's fun to see that captured
The setup for the joke was that Disney let Netflix produce their silly little shows. Ha ha. Silly Netflix. That is over now. Laugh at them. Smile, darn ya, smile.
Seriously, it felt like the modern equivalent of when comic book movies used to point to the comics and be like "you expect us to wear spandex," every chance they could get. Same kind of joke.
(Mind you, the rest of She-Hulk has been a pleasant/amusing lil' show)

Okay so I thought to myself "Well maybe I'm not being fair judging this show based on a 3 minute youtube clip. So during my lunch break today, I sat down and watched exactly one episode of She-Hulk.
I didn't like the she-hulk bits either.

Anyway here's where I repeat my theory that the Moon Knight Team REALLY DID BELIEVE they were doing some incredible next level action shit in that show, and, that Kevin Fibby, prince of lies WASN'T ACTUALLY LYING when he claimed that everyone was like "HOLY SHIT THAT'S SO BRUTAL YOU'RE GONNA EDIT THAT OUT RIGHT?"
The sad excuse for a "hallway fight" here? I genuinely believe they expected us to go "OH MAN A REAL DAREDEVIL HALLWAY FIGHT!"
I think the entire marvel TV team just has no fucking idea how to choreograph and shoot an actual goddamn fight scene.

BEAT I have to disagree with you on this. The point of the first half of the hallway fight is to just be a taste of Netflix Daredevil. It's a warm-up for both the character and the punchline. It's not supposed to be totally badass, peak-fight scene Daredevil action. I don't know why you thought it was supposed to be a "HOLY SHIT this is the best action ever" thing.
