I saw an ad for a She-Hulk movie or series and it really frustrated me. The entire ad is basically a montage of how She-Hulk is stronger in every way to Regular Hulk, and yet she basically just looks like a green-skinned version of herself, while Hulk remains gigantic and massive and monstrous. Cool there's a woman Hulk, but loving stupid that they make sure she stays "sexy" and doesn't have huge muscles and maintains all the attributes we think of when we think of a woman. Don't give Hulk boulders for muscles and She-Hulk a svelte runner's body and then tell me she's twice as strong as him.

I was thinking that, and there probably is some canonical reason, maybe her muscle tissues are denser or something, but the real reason of course is: Men with huge muscles = mega masculine and powerful and sexy Women with huge muscles = not feminine enough, unattractive, weird It's 2022 ffs

At least in the comics She-Hulk is very strong, but not nearly as strong as He-Hulk, but to compensate retains all her pre-gamma personality and intelligence (and most of her emotional control). My take on what you see in the trailer is that its not that shes stronger than Bruce, its that shes stronger/has greater control than Bruce expects her to be, and is better balanced. She throws a rock further than he did, but he did a lazy one-hand no-look lob. That reads to me as "He doesnt put in any real effort because he doesnt think he needs to, she puts in effort and surprises him". She does a yoga thing better than him, because... Well, have you ever seen that video where someone sticks a post-it note on a bodybuilders back and he cant get it off because his muscles get in the way of his arms bending that way? I mean, havent seen the show, so they absolutely could throw that out and just go "shes stronger than the hulk" but I very much doubt they will because being "the strongest one there is" is kind of Hulks whole deal.

Yeah I think that particular point is something you can't decide based on the trailer and have to actually see the show for. As for her looks, I do vaguely recall some commentary or something somewhere where they mentioned that she originally looked or was intended to be more muscular but there was pressure from executives or whatever to make her more 'feminine'. Can't remember where though and I might be misremembering so huge grain of salt and all that. Also keep in mind that often, for trailers, they're working with an unfinished product. The shots used are often still being worked on, so there's very much a "eh, good enough for now" component to it where the final product will at least be much more polished, but probably also changed based on audience reaction. Usually not as drastically as with Sonic (for example), but things like muscle definition and stuff can be fairly easily tweaked between the trailer and release.

Supergirl, the CW version, did that well in a middle season where she fought Superman while he was mind controlled and defeated him. She was taught how to fight effectively by her sister (who brought her down to normal strength by training her in a Kryptonite laced room, a bit silly but it got the point across) and she tried to give her cousin an out with "Oh, you were mind controlled, you weren't at your best..." and his response to that was just "No, I thought you were Zod, I was fighting as hard as I possibly could. You just were better than me." Actually I would love to see a superhero style fight where the hero and villain are facing off and the villain helps a civilian just out of reflex, not thinking about what he's doing, just a "Oh poo poo... you OK?" kind of thing. Just grabs the doorway as the civvy is fleeing the fight then gets all "What? I'm trying to kill you, not him. I LIKE him." Just the kind of villain where randomly murdering people isn't part of their master plan. BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 19:46 on Jul 24, 2022 |

We've seen him do way more insane poo poo in the past than throw a boulder 15 feet or so, it's pretty apparent that he didn't think he needed to huck an island into space or whatever to make some sort of a point. The next shot is her having more flexibility and balance than him, which yeah, she's way less beefy, she probably is more flexible. Hulk not lithest one there is.

My main irritation with the new she hulk trailer is that hulk's arm is fine. The Russo bros had decided that the gauntlet lead to permanent damage, which is why Thanos is so hosed up after snapping twice. In shang chi Bruce still had the sling on. Hulk should have at least some scarring.

I could see that with someone like Doc Ock where's he's just walking toward Spider-Man or something and then just casually has one of his tentacles knock some falling debris away from a civilian or something. Like not even something that he or the camera focus on or even acknowledges but it just happens while he's trying to rant to Spider-Man about something.

THere's a variant of it in the Sonic movies as well with Robotnik's (second movie discussion) relationship with Agent Stone. No matter how powerful or omnipotent Robotnik becomes, he'll always allow Stone to tag along and even tell him how he can help, going as far as giving him a manual for the giant death robot so that he knows how to pilot it. I just love when Stone yells "PLEASE! TAKE ME WITH YOU!" and he listens and does just that. He's a narcissist, but there is ONE other being in the universe he feels a genuine kind of affection for.

Is "Agent Stone" some kind of reference? There are so many easter eggs and hints throughout, I kept thinking that "stone" must mean something in the Sonic video game canon but I can't think of what.

Finishing the finale of Stranger Things and nothing here is really a spoiler: Look, if you're in a parametaphysical dream-ish memory-ish context where time is of the essence and perception matters and you know it, why the gently caress are you just casually strolling to the next context? You could even do the "running in a dream is super slow" trope! At least the frame of reference jumps effectively gloss over what would otherwise be exhausting. context: Eleven seeing the DJ table on the walkway over the skating in the aqueduct or whatever stringless has a new favorite as of 13:58 on Jul 25, 2022 |

Also can we get past "psychic stuff causes nosebleeds" and maybe get to "psychic stuff might burst a vessel in one of your eyes" for the visual representation? It'd be pretty badass to have some major psychic character shut their eyes in concentration, then open them with one eye gone bloody like they just did way too much cocaine or puked too hard or something.

I know we ought not to expect consistency among the movies, much less between the movies and 616 continuity, but the Hulk does have amazing regenerative powers surpassing, e.g., Wolverine's, so if anyone could eventually recover from the damage of the gauntlet it'd be him.

Stranger Things 4 finale: The amount of damage different weapons do on demogorgons is wildly inconsistent. You have soviet guards unloading into one with fully automatic weapons at like 10 feet and it's unfazed. Then you have Hopper put one down with one shot from a pistol. I'll grant that that one was tied down and cut open so maybe it's soft innards were vulnerable or something. But then you also have one getting a flaming spear launched into its face/mouth and it hurts it but it's still able to spit it out and keep fighting. And then later you have Hopper picking up an old rusty decorative looking soviet sword and slicing through it like butter. It looked cool but I just felt like that sword was too effective

Hopper is an avatar of an ancient war god and thus capable of superhuman feats. Or something I stopped watching after season one because the story was over and had no place to go.

Psychic powers are different from movie to movie but so many of them cause the same iddy biddy widdle nose bweed. My cousin has a psychic attack whenever she moves to higher elevations too quickly. It annoys me that something magical that is portrayed differently has the same rather minor consequence of a little sinus leakage.
