        heh. I mean if she is ever going to be anything other than D+. Which I honestly do not expect. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 11:34 4
        
        oh she'll be in the movies for sure. -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 11:44 3
        
        I guess background muscle. Her tone will not play well in other backyards. -- nm - Spawn Sep 6, 11:52 2
        
        Have you seen a Marvel movie? Her tone will be fine. She'll out quip the best of them. -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 12:09 1

Just throwing this out there. She-Hulk is great. - Jovian Sep 6, 10:05 17
- (spoils from this week) - Jovian Sep 6, 10:33 2
  - I was cracking up at that. It was perfect. -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 10:36

- 100%, yes :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 10:24
- I'm enjoying it a lot -- nm - prayformojo Sep 6, 10:18
- The last episode was flawless. -- nm - David Sep 6, 10:05 11
  - omg it was great. - Jovian Sep 6, 10:06
  - It's fun and forgivable, but still the worst cgi of the D+ Marvel shows, so not flawless. -- nm - Max Sep 6, 10:06 9
    - None of it has offended me. I suppose the (spoils) wasn't the best cgi, but I don't know that I would've wanted to have additional detail anyway. - Beryllium Sep 6, 10:24 4
      - It's still rubbery and not moving the way bodies move. Check out the Corrider Crew talking Ms Marvel cgi. - Max Sep 6, 11:10 [youtube] 1
        
        But if I'm okay with it, perhaps I shouldn't try to understand what people are seeing -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 11:14
      - That's kind of me as well. I kind of like the cheesy CGI. It fits the atmosphere of the show. -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 6, 10:44
      - If the side-by-side of She-Hulk with normies is jarring, consider it a physical manifestation of the Jennifer's concerns about being othered. - Barons Barons Barons Sep 6, 10:31
    - The CGI issues were a known. That's why the show almost got pushed to 2022. - David Sep 6, 10:09 2
      - *looks at calendar, looks back at camera* -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 10:21
      - I wonder, if like the Stranger Things guys, they don't go back and fix it when they can -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 10:21
    - agreed. Tatiana is fantastic. Show is a ton of fun. -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 10:08
