okay, i finally watched the first ep of she-hulk……
i have some ThOuGtS
- first, idk what I even watched, like it didn’t feel like a first ep of a show. Jennifer seems cool but idek what the show is going to be about or what the conflict could be. It felt like we were thrown into a side story that lasted too long. The pacing was weird as hell and besides talking about how Jennifer became a hulk, it literally provided not much of anything else to the story. Idk who her friend is, who the other guy coworker is, or who the hell busted through the wall at the end. And I know we’re going to learn more about them later, but it just felt like they have no importance to the story or to Jennifer I guess.
- *sighs* the cgi. obviously everyone’s been saying how wonky and inconsistent it looks so im not going to go on about that, but damn… seeing a full ep of it ‘twas something. but also I’m just not a fan of jen’s hulk design. maybe I’m nit picking, but something in her face changes and I don’t like how they make her hair straight and longer and like it's fixed up when she transforms, like when Bruce transforms he doesn’t get a new hairstyle. And ahhhh, just add more muscle to her, please. Her hulk look is like a green barbie. She can have muscle and still be feminine or whatever
- holy crap, we did not need a fight scene between Jennifer and Bruce, didn’t add anything
- and I know this is like the least of my worries, but the song choice at the end did not fit to me. The whole ending felt like I was watching an Austin Powers movie, and for a 2000s feel r&b (i think) song to come on out of no where w/ out the aesthetic being expressed ealier was like whiplash. The ep overall ig just had a weird tone (or a lack there of) and pacing to me
okay but the whole ending was whiplash, wtf was that. the cuts were so choppy, it moved so fast, and i'm more confused than interested to learn about what happened.
idk, I’m just disappointed, it felt lousy to me. I really hope it improves as it goes on

One thing I'm truly enjoying about watching TOS is that no one has the perfect, airbrushed features we see on TV actors nowadays. Takei and Nimoy both have prominent acne scars, Kelley and Nimoy have crooked teeth. Everyone has crowsfeet and other wrinkles. I know the show was never meant to be displayed in such high definition, we aren't meant to see those features, just like we aren't meant to see the make-up or the uniform zippers. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful little time capsule of human imperfection and I smile every time I notice a new one.

introducing my partner to star wars for the first time is so fun because he's an officer in the military and keeps saying things like "is the imperial ranking system based on the navy or the air force" and "how did han solo enter the ranks as a general when he was functionally a contracter in the last movie" and it's like buddy george lucas literally mixed up units of distance and time while making these movies i promise he didn't even use a single braincell to think about this

watched another punisherrrr, here’s s1 ep2
okayyy,,, so frank has some anger issues
‘written by karen page’? AH
who the hell are you? pls this sunglasses guy is so annyoing and i don’t even know his name
what’s microooo… oh the guy, got it
karennnnn, hi :). “thanks karen.” LMAO
aw the hug was sweet
heyyy ellison. cool to see you guys in other settings. also, idk if it’s just me but something about karen’s energy is different here. it's not a bad different but i guess it’s just bc it’s not dd
is micro just spying on random families? is this family his own?
hiii billy, heard so much about you
damn that’s it lol. frank really said, 'thanks for the article, peace.' aw karennnn
we’re only two episodes in and micro’s been outsmarted?
is the wife in on this??? is she stalling or something? No,, I think she’s good… She seems sweet. omg but she’s so trusting of frank lol, like i wouldn't invite a stranger into my place, i mean ig it's bc she accidentally hit frank with the car tho and she feels bad
is frank gonna burn his stuff or something
plain celery? i mean it's not that good- shiT ponyboy. OOH THE TOASTER TO THE THROAT
AH he pulled frank's gun on him
wait- i thought reyes gave the order to shoot central park… were they working together or something? i get what ponyboy's saying (i know they said this man's name like three times his ep but i already forgot it) but dd said that it was an accident for the most part, in this scene he's making it sound like he took part in it and that it was on purpose, which fine, but then was it his own mission? where did the drug dealer mentioned by reyes come in though? i need to rewatch this later, i think i missed something
i gotta rewatch the intro scene for dinah again bc tbh i didn't catch the case she's looking into lol
what’s the other guy detecive's name? i forgot his name
these episodes feel so long lol. i’m liking the jazz/rock music though rn
david’s on the amazing race right now w/ frank telling him to go to so many places lmao
oh shit frank found david? lol, david said “no,” to frank punching him, what did he think frank was gonna do
okay, this was interesting! i'm kinda surprised that frank got to micro/david so fast but i guess that just means that he isn't the big threat for the season? but like, why is he so obsessed with frank? also, it was nice to see karen here! cool to see her at the newspaper office and what was sort of up between dd s2 and the defenders. but yeah, i gotta rewatch stuff lol

Watching early Clone Wars seasons with a 9 year old (the intended audience) without making comments of my own is very eye opening. Kid brother was laughing so hard at Ki-Adi's joke in Point Rain. He's got nothing negative to say about Luminara, or the Jedi. He immediately noticed that the Geonosian holograms are red whereas the Jedi's are blue, and infered it was on purpose to show the Geonosians are the bad guys. He was freaking repulsed by the bugs because we're meant to be. He laughs when droids make silly comments before dying because droids are silly and it's not that deep in the show. He got that Luminara outranked Anakin just by observing that she looks/feel a lot wiser and more experienced.
Kid is really out there experiencing Star Wars with zero fandom/cultural poisoning the way it was meant to. We may overanalyse the crap out of the franchise but at the end of the day it's humbling to remember kids are more likely to get it than we are because it was created for them.
