I think perhaps a bit of both? It had some good aspects and there were some total misses and most of it was just ok to meh. There was also a misogynist uproar surrounding it. But you don’t need to be misogynist to hate it.
Why don’t you watch it and decide for yourself? What’s with this need for everyone to be validated by the shitty opinions of others?
I thought it was funny and the characters were well crafted. The goofy tone worked surprisingly well, and in retrospect it shouldn’t have surprised me how well it worked because we’re talking about a universe where people turn into giant green beefcakes and shoot lightning out of their hands. That’s silly as hell, and this show is really the first instance of the MCU acknowledging that. I want more of it.
I’d rather not potentially waste my time watching something to see if it’s good, if others can tell me that have already seen it. That could be one reason people seek others’ opinions first, idk. However I acknowledge that this method doesn’t always lead to successful recommendations.

Also this need for everything to be put in a box. One or the other. Black or white. It’s somewhere in between, like most things in life. I hate this weird need to label everything all the time.

It’s a fun show. The ending didn’t quite land right, but whatever; it’s not the kind of series where that matters. Also, I didn’t have any problem with the CGI and don’t understand why so many people are complaining about it; probably they’re just the CGI equivalent of audiophiles and should be ignored by any who don’t share that particular affliction.
I genuinely enjoyed it. Yeah, the CG is… spotty, at best. And some of it’s ridiculous. But the She-Hulk comic always had a comedic tone, even when it was dealing with more serious issues. IMO, it’s definitely enjoyable. It’s not my favorite Marvel series–that’s probably Loki so far–but it’s enjoyable for what it is.
It’s got Jameela Jamil in it. That’s good enough for me.
The Good Place is a series I recommend.
Guardians Holiday Special < She Hulk < Miss Marvel < Secret Invasion < Hawkeye < Falcon and Winter Soldier < Moon Knight < Loki < Wandavision.
Disney+ shows don’t suck as much as the haters hate them. The ones on the top are actually really really good.
I think they really let themselves experiment and get weird with the D+ shows, which I think is a GOOD thing, even if it resulted in some REALLY cringy moments in She-Hulk and Miss Marvel and some “… what are you doing?” moments in Secret Invasion and Hawkeye.
In general, the MCU seems to be striking out a lot on the sillier end of things lately. Makes me anxious about Deadpool.
So much of what Star Wars does these days has the feel of filler. Like Dave Filoni is giving ChatGPT three or four climactic moments and then letting it write the rest of the show. MCU does NOT feel like that to me, even at it’s worst.
You put Secret Invasion above things? Yikes, dude. I can understand putting She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel lower than other stuff, because they were more targeted to specific audiences and didn’t necessarily have the same mass appeal as the others, but they are good at what they were attempting to do, even if you don’t love what they were trying. Secret Invasion didn’t even seem to know what it was trying to do, but it failed at every level.
You miss What If? The show with some of the best episodes imo
And also Werewolf by Night, which was the most slept-on genre production of the past year.
It’s just not in the same category in my brain. It had some of the best episodes and some of the worst episodes, but I really feel like it’s it’s own thing.
No Werewolf By Night or What If?
I think it had a lot of the same issues the other recent Disney+ shows had, but it was a fun watch
It was ok. Certainly not on level with loki, wandavision or moonknight, but not bad either. But I especially didn’t like the feige part, and the ending itself, and breaking the fourth wall, which is something i didnt like in deadpool either.

Yeah I’m not saying the tv show is diverging from the comic book, just that i don’t like that kind of pre-baked postmodernist stuff. As I said, the show was fine, i don’t agree with most of the critiques that have been thrown at it.
@Grapetruth It’s both, really liked some of the beats of the show, some of the CGI is spotty at point but tbh understandable with the staff being overworked, and I watch early 2000s movies with bad CGI all the time and still love it, so it’s not a big deal in my eyes.
I liked it. I wish it was a little longer, so we had a better character build for her. I say that about most Disney+ shows, though. I get they’re expensive, but they’re also the largest media empire on earth. They monetize the show far outside the initial run of it anyways so it would be nice to give some of these shows a better chance of hooking people during the first season with a few more episodes and a less rushed story.
It’s a fun little show, that’s not meant to be taken even slightly seriously.
People who hate it with a passion, are weirdos. Just like the people upset with the little mermaid movie.
You have to be pretty immature/weird to get upset about something so inconsequential.
I feel like people have really weird expectations about some shows. And when that show does it’s own thing and refuses to cater to those expectations, people get mean and refuse to appreciate the show on its own terms. And when I say people, I mean misogynists. Expectations are the male gaze. And the show is women.
It was a fun ride for me
Some people hate it for legit reasons, but most are just misogynists.
It’s great, probably my favorite marvel miniseries.
I didn’t read any reviews about it so I want aware of the haters.
The actress is really great and the storylines and action were all fun but made sense in the story, a story that I found made more sense and was more engaging than most marvel stories.
Whatever low ratings there are have gotta be full of crap.
There are many reasons people don’t like the show, misogyny, the different tone compared to everything else in the MCU, putting established characters in a different tone than they’re used to, and then other more substantial complaints about writing, CGI, etc.
It’s often a mixed bag and I’ve seen a lot of people blame the writing when it was really one of the other factors. Personally, I loved it.
