    It's weird after going to K.E.V.I.N. to avoid the cliche Marvel ending that it still goes for and ends on the big last second cameo.

    The snap, reveal of alien civilizations and magic, and advanced technology not affecting life one bit didn't ruin it for you?

    The show should have ended with everyone twerking. I think that might be the biggest most talked about moment the whole season up until the 4th wall break in the final episode.

    I'm with you there. With DC I was fine with Earth 1 and 2 (basically in my youth it meant JLA and JSA heroes with rare, usually Flash, crossovers) and Marvel was just one universe as I grew up. I like the uncomplicated.

    However it's not up to me. :( Back in the 70's I wrote a letter to the editor and got a Marvel No-Prize, but honestly I don't remember what it was about. That's how important it is to me now (not that much). The only cool thing for me is remembering that I physically wrote a pen and paper letter, mailed it, it was published and acknowledged. The "cool thing" is that I did that long before all of our current internet nonsense.

    I still generally enjoy what I'm given. "Multiverses of Madnesses" aren't really my thing, but I roll with it.

    There was a great Supernatural episode (which I can't be bothered to look up) where Sam and Dean end up in "our world" as Jenson and Jared. I loved that episode as a one-off, but I was happy to get back to the Supernatural universe.

    Just rambling, probably somewhat incoherently. I've had a couple shots of vodka this evening.

    Nothing was "broken" by the She-Hulk finale. No worlds were harmed. No Universe was torn down.

    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.

    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.
