Finished Ms Marvel - it was quite good. Got a big kick out of the few frames of music that played near the end. Not too surprising given the current state of Marvel characters and their ownership, but nice to see them overtly referencing it. The show was good, but those few bars of music were my favourite part of the whole thing .
(Of course, that's how I got into Marvel in the first place, so it's like they were laser-targeted at me.)
Same here The post credits confused me, though.

No, the link happened in the final (or one of the final) scenes before the credits rolled. The post credits scene was Kamala in her bedroom and then something happened. Her bangle sparked and she fell backwards into her closet.
Then Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers appeared, looking very confused and staring at all the fan art of her around Kamala’s room. And we just need to remember that we have to spoiler tag tv/movie content for 6 months after release, in case people who wish to watch, but haven’t yet had the chance come in to this thread.

First episode of She-Hulk was pretty good.
Not sure if it was my imagination or not, but the much maligned/talked about VFX seemed better on Bruce, than on Jen.

And in true This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things fashion….She-Hulk is being review bombed by a bunch of very stable geniuses.
We are not taking bets on the likelihood that all one star reviews are from bottom feeding incels who either haven’t watched it, or have watched it and didn’t like that she ignored the real hero; Unnamed Male Lawyer.

Know that feeling when you go in expecting a pile of hot garbage, and still come out disappointed? Remember the Bruce Banner from before it was sexist and toxic for a man to stand up for himself or expect to be treated with anything resembling respect or dignity? And when survival and the safety of others was actually supposed to be more important to a woman than being socially treated exactly the way she'd have liked on all occasions? First episode of She-Hulk was pretty good. Not sure if it was my imagination or not, but the much maligned/talked about VFX seemed better on Bruce, than on Jen. It's much easier to draw or animate a male face and make it look real and detailed and characterful than a woman's, since ours tend to have more extreme proportions and crease both earlier and more definitely, and individually. I've always found that the line between drawing a woman who looks blank and glossy and one who looks aged and creased is incredibly fine. So you probably don't have to be very conservative with her complexion to hit some uncanny valley territory when she's standing next to an older man, both on a made-for-television CGI budget.

It told a tight origin story without any unneeded fluff. If these reviews were 3s or 4s, I would've thought 'well, not every piece of entertainment is for every viewer', and moved on. But 1s? Nah. Not buying it. Edit: And it is even easier to dismiss all of them in light of what similar idiocy with regards to Ms Marvel and Captain Marvel.

She acts like a total brat while Bruce tries to help her with the training. Totally missing the point that controlling anger and fear is a part of some womens lives in a way that you and I will never have to deal with. She's not a brat. She's just not being told anything she's hasn't already had to learn - sans gamma radiation, of course.

Some people seem to be missing (or wilfully ignoring) that Jen is specifically reacting to Bruce repeatedly telling her she needs to learn to control her anger, which she correctly points out that she's been socially conditioned to do her entire life just like every other cis woman has. Of course it's less difficult for her, she's had way more than fifteen years of practice.
I don't think we're meant to believe Jen is right about everything and Bruce is entirely wrong - she spends the whole episode insisting that she can just go back to being a lawyer and never hulk out again, and that goes out the window the minute Titania smashes through that wall. This is obviously a story where she learns that she does have to step up and use her powers to protect people, while also balancing that with using the skills she worked hard for. But she doesn't need help to be less angry.

Using that logic a 5 star review is also patently absurd but it received more of them than one star reviews before it even launched. Every criticism you have applies equally to both sides. But you only apply it to one. A little inflammatory perhaps?

Of course it's less difficult for her , she's had way more than fifteen years of practice.So has Bruce. He was abused as a child. Hell, his father killed his mother! This is a big part of what gave him DID in the first place! He's been wrestling with anger for more than 15 years. It's just that long that he turns into a giant green rage monster. You'd think his cousin would know something about this! Plus, Banner's years as the Hulk has given him a pretty good idea on how much (or little) it can take to set off the change. It only makes sense to listen to the only other person (aside from Blonsky) who has this particular condition. So when can we get less of this: “Jennifer, my cousin who is my cousin Jennifer, Hello.” Jennifer: “Um, hi. Are we sure we’re still cousins in this continuity? It’s kind of obvious I was born about a century after you.” Bruce Banner: “Jennifer, my cousin Jennifer who is my cousin….Jennifer. This condition brought on by my experimental treatment of you is triggered by anger and fear. In my case anger and fear caused by a lifetime of cruel mental and emotional abuse that culminated in my personality splitting.” Jennifer: “Oh yeah? Try being a WOMAN sometime! ….….that’s seriously my line?!? Cousin Grandpa here confides in me that he’s struggling with mental illness and I reply with a stock dismissive quip?!?” Bruce Banner: “New around here? But anyway, you can use these powers to be a super hero!” Jennifer: “B-but only evil rich MEN are super-her…..….seriously? They’re seriously having my character act ignorant of all the heroes not like Iron Man -and- having me mock the person who gave their life to save the entire universe?!? Do they want the audience to hate me?!?” Bruce Banner: “Listen, who knows how much longer any of this will last? So what if it’s half-assed? Take the money and run.” Jennifer: “Gawd, I miss ORPHAN BLACK. That was TV with the -whole- ass!” Bruce Banner: “….er…..” Jennifer: sigh And more:
