I decided to give Titans a shot because I always liked the comics and I watched a ton of Arrowverse so what’s one more pulpy cheesy mediocre to bad comic book show? That’s my jam. My first impression is it’s so drat dark. Literally. I ended up turning up the brightness on my tv just to see anything. My second impression is it’s kind of no fun. Just angst on angst. I suppose that’s matching the comics but it’s a real drag to watch. Maybe it will get more fun and colorful when everyone starts super heroing? This feels like it’s gonna take awhile to get there though.

Titans is so bad. I just sort of skip through while watching to see if anything interesting or cool is happening but no. There never is something cool or interesting. They also have one of the worst takes on Barbara that I've ever seen.

I like the actors that play Dick and Starfire and Wonder Girl so much, they do such great work with such terrible, terrible material.

The Doom Patrol episode is the first I’ve kinda enjoyed. At least I’m more interested in watching that show even if I dunno if I’ll continue with this one once inertia gives.

The problem with Titans is that it is so stupid/gritty without any campiness to balance it off. I do like the actors and they are really giving it their all but the stuff is just so over the top bad. The Young Justice cartoon is pretty much Titans done right (Teen Titans Go is Titans done the best)

Titans is also kind of dumb because it isn't until like season 3 that they actually do stuff as a team. instead of just reacting to villains trying to kill them.

Connor Leslie's first scene using the lasso pretty much redeemed all the lovely Donna Troy comics from the last twenty years.

Dick having to make small talk and absent mindedly muttering “I wonder what Penguin is doing right now?” is the first time Titans really made me smile. It’s like it forgot it was supposed to be so drat serious for a second.

She-Hulk is the best show because it has the best supporting characters. Last week we got the super team up of Madisynn and Wongers and this week we got Nikki and Pug. Avongers Thur with a shovel killed me. X-O fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Sep 16, 2022 |

I know people were worried when the series was about to premiere when the writers said they weren't great with the legal stuff but this episode is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for and they nailed it.

Pug seemed different this week, but then I realized it was just him being himself, as opposed to acting professional when talking with Dennis and in court.

So do we think She-Hulk will know Daredevil's identity? Will he give a pep talk that she too can be a lawyer slash superhero if she likes and she will tell him that he is in fact insane slash insanely unethical?

Yea I think people took that "we didn't know how to write courtroom stuff" way to seriously, and literally, it was just a joke how they're comedy writers and not legal drama writers, but clearly they either hired someone who knew how to write legal stuff, or they learned how to write it. The cadre of "this will finally destroy the MCU!" people is way to quick to jump on ANYTHING. Lobok posted:So do we think She-Hulk will know Daredevil's identity?

They're gonna gently caress around that's how Matt will find out. In bed.

Jen's got one of the few supporting casts that are fun to watch and not actively irritating. This is a good show.

It is kind of funny how the last comic book tv thing Josh Segarra did was a villain. He's so much better as a goofy guy.

She-Hulk is far and away my fave Disney+ Marvel thing. The tone is pretty much perfect for the character, the supporting cast is great, and it’s interactions with the greater MCU are exactly what I was hoping it would be (a light hearted skewering). I could watch 100 episodes of this funny, breezy little show. I’m glad they realize not everything needs to be super-intense and life-changing. Sometimes you can just be a Hulk and the biggest problem is copyright infringement.

She-Hulk was listening to a Law360 podcast in her car, they definitely hired someone that knows lawyers. I review Law360 daily securities litigation emails pretty much every day.

I can't believe people were complaining about how Jamil sounded. She had the perfect voice for the Titania they were going for.

I hate Titania so much, Jamil is good at her job. I want Jen to smack that heavy eye makeup right off her.
