What I find hilarious about how “She-Hulk” is using Daredevil is that it simultaneously makes sense and doesn’t make sense. It makes sense that Matt is the one who’s going to help mentor Jen in finding the work-life balance when it comes to being her regular lawyer self and being She-Hulk. He’s a lawyer and a superhero as well, so he’d be the best person to understand her situation.

On the other hand…it’s Matt Murdock showing someone how they can manage their life.

Important Distinction:

People using LinkedIn always forget this.

More people need to be talking about Jennifer Walter and Matt Murdock because that chemistry is *chef’s kiss*

When I tell you I SCREAMED when the guy said "does client confidentiality mean nothing to you?" And it showed Matt's helmet

if jennifer walters and matt murdock break up i will be hiring them to sue marvel studios

Why is Smart Hulk so sexy...

Jen was not saying that she has more trauma than Bruce or that the reason she can control her anger so easily is because she has more trauma than Bruce. Hell the reason Bruce had so much trouble controlling his anger at first was because of how much trauma he had. Jen is saying that because it was already basically required for her to control her anger towards her struggles/frustrations BEFORE she became a hulk naturally she can still control her anger after becoming a hulk. Bruce didn't have to control his anger until AFTER he became a hulk. The reason she can control herself better is because she ALREADY has practice in anger management. Like hell she is literally a fucking lawyer, I'm pretty sure a requirement for that job is being able to control your emotions. And I am convinced that the guys who misinterpreted this scene just did not watch the rest of the episode because immediately afterwards Jen acknowledges that Bruce had to go through a decades worth of trauma and that she doesn't want to go through what he had to go through.

The MCU still has a villain problem.

Are any of these villains going to come back stronger than ever, challenging the heroes into a bigger evolution of their character? No.

Either they’re never gonna come back ever or if they do they’re going to be somewhat antiheroes. Every rendition of a superhero franchise in Hollywood does not know how to write long-term villain characters.

Let’s look at dr. doom in the comics. Why do people like him? is it just because he’s a cool villain or a villain with misunderstood motives? That’s the surface level reason. It’s because every time he comes back and featured in a big way in the comics, The scheme or plot that he’s devising can very well be accomplished. Basically there’s a possibility that he’s going to win. No matter whether or not you agree with him, The fantastic four or whoever in the Marvel universe has a lot on their hands. He’s a villain that started out from ” I want to control the world“ to “I want to control the universe”.

He’s a villain that evolves that forces the hero to evolve. That’s good writing. Hollywood writers don’t know how to do that. Either they’ll kill them off after the first movie and will never see them again or we’ll never hear from them ever again unless some other writer decides to pick up where they left off. Turning them soft, into a somewhat misunderstood character. Look at what they did to the Abomination in she hulk. I mean look at Agatha, she’s coming back as an antihero in her own series. And Namor, most likely he’s gonna come back as a hero in the next installment of something. For example there’s going to be some type of next level avenger threat that’s going to happen. The heroes are going to need some extra help. Shuri it’s going to be like, I know a guy who could help us and then we’re going to have the Talocan people in the background fighting kang forces during the last epic fight scene.

Hollywood does not know how to write pure straight up villains. I mean look at Lucifer. They tried to make the fucking devil into an antihero.

I’m not saying the MCU villains are lame. They had their purpose and they were portrayed excellently by the actors. I’m just saying that we live in a world where we’re never going to get another Chris Evans Captain America movie where he fights the red skull again. Or Heath Ledger like joker returning to Challenge Batman again. I mean you at sabertooth in the comics versus him in any of the wolverine movies. Do you think the new MCU version is going to do half the stuff that Victor Creed did to Logan in the comics?

Loki was featured in 9 different projects, but he was only kind of a villain in two. Thanos was just a cameo until he became the big bad in two films.

Let’s look at Lex Luther, Wouldn’t it be interesting if we got a Superman trilogy, where he becomes more in hinged and a bigger threat to Superman with each installment. A type of trilogy where the hero becomes a better person with each movie meanwhile the villain becomes worse at the same time.

In film school, one of my screen writing teachers told us to never write a villain as a villain, but as a character that you want the audience to understand. That’s why we always refer to them as antagonist and not villains. They are somewhat an extension of the main characters story, And that works. But what if you need that antagonist for the next story. They did their job already in the previous story so what else can you do with them for the next. This is what every screenwriter in Hollywood is taught. Villains or antagonist are not being looked at as returning returning characters as antagonist to the story.

Namor and Talocan we’re definitely a major threat towards Wakanda. But are we ever going to get another story where Namor decides to wage war on the rest of the world anyway, without Wakanda help. A movie where Talocan decides to invade America. Where Sam Wilson’s Captain America teams up with Bucky and the rest of the thunderbolts to defend the United States? That sounds pretty cool but that’s never gonna happen, because Namor when featured again is going to be a hero.

A resolution is necessary. The audience wants to feel complete, Otherwise what’s the point. That’s why we always criticize Batman for throwing joker in prison. He’s gonna break out and do it again and again. But then what’s the point of the next Batman story. If Batman kills the joker then the joker has won. Every principle that Batman has for not killing his villains is thrown out the window.

You could still tell a finalize story and tell another one using the same characters. These are superheroes from comic books, ongoing stories similar to novela and soap operas. If the studios and the fans want franchises then it can’t just be one and done stories. It doesn’t work that way.

Even in real life, if all our problems are resolved in one day then what’s the point of getting up the next day. There’s always going to be threats caused by The same thing. 10 years ago America and Russia weren’t on good terms. Now guess what’s happening again. Back then Idiotic groups who called themselves superior are trying to harm and degrade people of color. Now we got other idiotic groups to call themselves white nationalist Who are trying to do the same within social media. The fight never ends, it’s how our heroes tackles each battle one by one that matters.

Ultimately what I’m trying to say in terms of MCU villains, they have a problem writing them for a long-term purpose. That doesn’t mean they’re written or acted badly. It Just that there are no longer viable characters after their first encounter as The main villain. They are used as extensions of the main character. Not as extensions of the shared universe that they’re trying to showcase.

That’s the problem that the MCU has with their villains.

Me watching Pug in She-Hulk like

Based on how “She-Hulk” is going, I’m lowkey laughing that the show is implying that Matt Murdock is the ideal guy for Jennifer Walters. We’ve seen so far:

1) Jen likes that She-Hulk gives her fame and attention, but feels that it’s cheating since it’s not really her. We see this when the handsome doctor dumps her when she turns back to Jen.

2) A major subplot in the show is Jen trying to find love.

3) She thinks the One is Josh since he saw her as Jen…but that falls apart when Josh turns out to be a member of Intelligencia.

4) We see in the trailers that Matt tells Jen that she can do great things as BOTH She-Hulk and Jen Walters. We also know that Jen is attracted to Matt and that they flirt somewhat with each other.

So, is this what we’re going for? Handsome doctor liked She-Hulk, Josh (pretended) to like Jen…and Matt Murdock is the one who likes both sides of her. Because that feels like where this series is going.

I tried myself on my very own version of the MCU She Hulk🍀

Ok hear me out, when Jen asked if she could buy Mallory a drink and she broke the fourth wall and celebrated? That felt gay to me. Like she asked this woman if she could buy her a drink which definitely feels like she's kinda asking her out. And this happened right after Mallory said that she can do better with dating. I really hope jen actually goes on a date with her bc that would be AMAZING

jennifer walters and matt murdock are my new favorite mcu couple, it's not fair that i have to stop thinking about them to get shit done
