Spoilers She-Hulk: Attorney at Law discussion thread

[Jayson1]

For pretty much all of literary history men have been portrayed as flawless virtues of manly awesomeness while women have been plot devices, sexualized, targets and put in fridges. That those tropes have largely reversed in just the last few (of the last 6500) years should be accepted.

Not by the good writers. Especially when the rise of the anti-hero became a thing. Starting I would say in the late 60's and taking off big in the 70's. Going away somewhat during the Reagan 80's, making a comeback in the 90's at least in art and independent movies and exploding during the post Sopranos golden age of tv and now going away again as everything becomes Disneyfied and PC out of fear of offending anyone.

But this stuff tends to cycle so things will likely get better in future. Especially since I think tv and movies are becoming less popular to the internet meaning movies and tv will soon be niche thing enjoyed mostly by older people. Once older people become the main demographic again you will see more challenging stuff IMO on a regular basis.

A good paralegal might have asked if he tampered with the device in any way or followed the instructions to prevent exactly what happened. Barring Matt's hyperactive senses any good lawyer would have explored that issue of misuse of the device in any way or form when it comes to a lawsuit involving malfunction of something in an effort to shift blame to the buyer/user of that equipment ( at least i would and i'm as far from being a lawyer as i possibly can be).

But as has been established here thw writers knew jack shit about the law and just wrote a funny story - it is par for the course for Hollywood to ignore realism if it stands in the way of the story and the reason why i love watching Youtube clips of professionals ripping apart movies and shows. Watch Legal Eagle's Youtube channel for legal reviews of anything, he's quite entertaining but also explains it well for everybody who's not been to law school.

Murdock could probably smell the fuel and knew that it wasn't correct for that application.

That's exactly what happened if you look closely at the scene - once that Frog dude pulled out the costume in court Matt took a visible sniff in the air and then asked his question that basically ended the trial.

No

 

[TheForge]

I found this show funny and worth watching but I think it's lost it's luster.

 

[Captain pl1ngpl0ng]

is there a chance this can turn into a Doom-Patrol thing?
SheHulk, Porcupine Dude, ManBull etc become some crimefighting motley crue saving the world?
lol... that would be so funny=)

Wow. I am trying to not imagine this was not an insult directed at younger people but it's hard not to see that.

 

[Jayson1]

Younger people in the future are going to be more into the internet than tv I predict. Their will be less of a market for quality tv shows aimed at younger audiences. Tv will be more niche and thus need to be of higher quality to appeal to a shrinking audience.

So what does that have do with challenging material? Sounds like a change of format not type.

When it comes to the behavior of the men in shows like this and Supergirl, the saddest part is that most of what see isn't that far off from what women experience every day. A little exaggerated maybe, but not as much as you'd like to think.

Reverse that.

They need to make tv cheaply as they used to, but in massive quantity.

You want to know why I am right and the Networks are wrong?

Youtube.

Children are religiously watching content with a production value of literally nothing.

I hate to say it.... I will post a Lankybox video that proves it!

Yes we are.

Soon though computer graphics and tech will be so advanced that people with little money will be able for cheap make really good looking stuff on the internet in terms of production value. Only young peoples attention spans have all but vanished so it will all be for stuff running like 10 minutes or so. Tv will still appeal to people like it currently does only that is becoming less young people. Also the comic book era will end at some point.

My prediction is a return to anti-hero stuff, Edgy comedy. Makes sense that it would cycle around to that at some point. You had it in the 70's and you lost it in the 80's and you had in the 90's and early 2000's and you lost it around the time of social media and Trump and that's been going on for about 6 years or so and that means it will likely come back in 3 to 5 years. Then it will last until people get tired of it and repeat the cycle.

Honestly, it doesn't matter if men are "generally" assholes. What matters is that the assholish behavior of other men towards women is basically hidden from us as guys, but women have no choice but to deal with it.

I think you're wrong. Plenty of young people like binging shows on netflix, and even kids shows for older children tend to be lightly serialized these days.

I do think we'll see a total breakdown in the division between movies and TV episodes eventually, which is IMHO a great thing. Books after all can be 100 or 1200 pages long as the story requires, and filmed media should similarly be as long or as short as needed to tell the story, and not have artificial breaks and time constraints.
