Honestly I Think Episode 8 Of She Hulk Was Just Amazing, Even Without Daredevils Appearance. The Suspense

Honestly I think episode 8 of she hulk was just amazing, even without daredevils appearance. The suspense building from the moment Matt left Jen’s house was palpable. There was a drastic tonal shift from that point to the end of the episode that I think was amazingly executed especially considering the genre of the show is comedy.

I wasn’t expecting for the video to be released as revenge porn, but honestly I’m so here for it. It’s an issue that many women unfortunately have to face. The idea of having a video like that recorded without your knowledge or consent is jarring enough, let alone it being released in front of your colleagues, family, and friends at an event you were supposed to get an award for. And then of course Jen is viewed as the “bad guy” for reacting strongly at the release of this video. But its nice to see that this very real issue is being directly confronted. I’m excited to see how the show ends, and I look forward to Jen being even more badass.

(And while I’m on the subject, the talks about getting Jen’s blood for something was a brilliant misdirect. The blood will probably still play a factor in the finale but it successfully distracted me from a plot twist.)

This show has been amazing to watch as a whole, not just this episode, because it’s explicitly stated and shown the issues women face every day from episode 1 in the very first scene (where Jen had to deal with that asshole who thought he knew better). In fact, it even called out the types of misogynistic men who exist today during the brief social media scene in episode 2 I think. Here’s to hoping future marvel projects show similar traits!

Okay so I know this theory didn’t come true. But I swear this looks like the nail bat and not the spear they used in the show. Maybe they decided to change it?? Someone tell me I’m not crazy.

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about this, but has anyone seen that one clip of Eddie and Dustin together back to back?

I was rewatching the vol 2 sneak peak and I realized that Eddie is holding Steve’s nail bat!! This is so cute, I bet there was this whole scene where Steve is telling Eddie to protect Dustin for him, since he’ll be doing something else. And Steve gives Eddie the bat like a good luck charm.

Ugh I’m just so excited to see them again.

Volume 2 is going to end with so much sadness and “carnage” as the Duffer brothers said, I can already picture the fix-it fics that will be posted.

This is amazing

sh- sh- shotgun 🚬

I don’t think She-Hulk: Attorney at Law ever went trending for the new episode with Megan Thee Stallion, and it makes me irritated. It was fucking hilarious!

Here’s a Stranger Things 5 thought… how about they don’t kill Steve?

Now this isn’t just a Steve Harrington lover desperately hoping they don’t kill him (although that definitely plays a part). Honestly I think it could be a genius move to have him live, if they play it right. I’ve seen a lot of people making posts/videos about how they love Steve but know he’ll die in season 5 because that’s the natural progression of his story arc(ya know, the protector/babysitter sacrificing himself to save his loved ones) and it’s the last season.

But I think they’ve already went down that route with Eddie Munson (unfortunately), so not only would it be repetitive but it would be outrageous to have two beloved characters go out in the same way. I think this is a good way to give Steve a moment of “wait a minute… I want to LIVE. I don’t want to sacrifice myself, I want to spend the rest of my days laughing with my friends and family. I don’t want them to go on with life without me”. And he desperately fights with everything he has to make it back to Robin, Dustin, and everyone. Because he saw the fallout of Eddie Munsons death, and before he had never realized the fallout his own death would cause. But now that he’s seen it he knows he has to survive. For Dustin, Robin, and everyone he loves.

I think Eddie Munson’s death was, frankly, unnecessary. I know that he bought more time for Steve, Robin and Nancy to kill Vecna but I feel like there were other ways to do that. Eddie chose the self sacrificial route, and in the future Steve will see that it’s not a good choice. So I’m hoping Steve, against all odds, will live. I don’t like that the Duffers could be using Eddie as a way for Steve to grow, but that’s just how I’m seeing it right now.

Sorry if this doesn’t make too much sense, I just had all these thoughts I needed to share. I’m desperately hoping the Duffers don’t go the predictable route of killing Steve, so this is my way of keeping my hope alive (or self delusion, whatever floats your boat).
