Spoilers She-Hulk: Attorney at Law discussion thread

When it comes to this kind of stuff I'm pretty open minded and willing to go with it, even we get something as crazy as the whole 4th wall break. Jen had already been breaking the 4th wall all season, so that worked perfect fine in the context of the series. It's best to not take all of this so seriously, and just let yourself have fun with it.

 

It's good for any medium to be able to laugh at itself. She-Hulk did that a lot in the comics and here. If that sort of thing doesn't work for you, it doesn't but in no way does it harm the fictional universe laughably called canon.

 

All this rejection now makes me wonder how MCU fans will react to Deadpool. He does the exact same thing but only within the context of a bloody action movie.

 

It's okay he's a dude.

 

He doesn't though. All of his fourth wall breaking is done in a way that can be explained away by the fact that he's moderately nuts. He doesn't exit his movies to talk to the writers. If he did, I'd be on here whining.

 

Yes it does. If the parody is sharp enough, you can make the thing being parodied unwatchable.

 

But he does reference his movies being a movie. Like the opening credit that describes the writers as "The guys who killed John Wick's dog" or something like that. Plus calling attention to how few X Men seemed to be around the mansion in the first movie as if the producers could afford a few X Men. Plus he kills Ryan Reynolds before singing on to do the Green Lantern movie.

 

Yeah, he goes too far for my liking sometimes. He'll probably contribute to the death of the MCU as we know it eventually.

 

They're not going to tone it down, breaking the Fourth Wall has been part of She-Hulks character since the comics.

Deadpool I don't think was doing it from the start of his run, but I'm not sure. I know it got more extreme at some points in the character's history compared to others.

 

So the MCU is as fragile as an eggshell?

 

I loved the breaking the fourth wall part. My only real issue with the finale was it seemed like they skipped 5-10 minutes of the story. Like...I'm glad that we didn't get the cliche MCU ending here, but the story should have given us Jen's resolution to the situation, rather than just skipping to the epilogue happy ending.

 

Reminds of a ending to a episode of Northern Exposure.

 

Deadpool first appeared in New Mutants 98, February 1991. He first broke the fourth wall in a small way in Deadpool number 28, published in May 1999, and it grew from there.

Fragile, hell, I don't know how people even keep up with the MCU. I'm not an avid fan of everything MCU, so I focus only on my favorites, like X-Men, She-Hulk, Deadpool, and so on. I stopped watching the Avengers movies after the second one. I assume there's more, and that's awesome, but I just don't know how someone can think the MCU is in danger when it's already so bogged down by every single detail there is about movies, comics, books, TV shows, multi-genre tie-ins, and so on, and so on, and so on, I don't think anything could bring it down because it is an indestructible, eternal Gordian knot.

Then again, I just like a handful of superhero movies and TV shows because they're fun and engaging, so what do I know? :P

 

I wouldn't say the MCU is fragile but i's been pushing it with maybe to much content. It's already been talked about how the special effects people have especially been having a hard time because of all of the projects and also Feige has attention spread and can't keep a eye on everything as much as he use to.

I have noticed a drop in quality in Phase 4 and for me I have actually been liking the shows better than most of the movies recently. Still it's way to soon to say it's all over or they won't fix things.

 

He literally used a time machine to kill the actor that plays him so he doesn't star in Green Lantern. Your argument is completely invalid.

 

I erased the disastrous (even other than this part) deadpool 2 from my memory.

 

Your argument is still invalid. The movie exists and did what you said you would be whiney about. So go whine about it or stop being petty about She-Hulk. You can't have it both ways and simply say 'I'm right because I decided to ignore certain evidence that destroys my statement'.

 

I whined about it at the time. What makes you think I didn't...

 

That would be very on brand.
