caricature Sexist Male Colleague

Well, I liked this a lot. Even though ... it felt like I’d seen most of it already because of the trailers, but that’s my fault. I watched the trailers a bunch.

i thought it was a simple way of telling her Steve’s not a virgin without having to get into the presumably more hush-hush story about Steve going back in time to restore the gems etc.  This gets her to stop going on and on about it, even the details are fabricated

great 1st episode, cgi did feel a bit dodgy in spots (altho i thought it was more noticeable with Bruce than Jenn). I liked how they jumped right to the origin without wasting tons of time setting up Jen’s pre-she-hulk life

so in which reality/society men are allowed to “hulk out” in their everyday lives?

It was... a bit of fun, I guess, and Tatiana was predictably good as she always is. But I wouldn’t say I’d rush back for episode 2. It didn’t feel like there were any stakes or weight with any of it.
Also - for any of these comic book fans saying “THE HULK HAS BEEN DONE DIRTY”, have you seen how old Mark Ruffalo is…

This whole series is her origin story. Getting powers is just the first part it. In the first Cap movie, it takes about 10 minutes real-time for Steve to get his powers and be able to control them well enough to chase down a Nazi assassin. But that one scene wasn’t about him becoming a hero, it was everything after…

Forever grey.

Or, hear me out. It’s showing what women go through at work and in life?

Easter egg alert:

It would be incredibly boring if Jen had the exact same challenges as Bruce. The fact she doesn’t struggle with the same things he does opens up different stories for her character.

I think the idea is that his blood simultaneously generates it and changes it into whatever sustains Hulk-powers. If he had bled on a non-relative it would have killed them.

A Hulks size is usually tied to both their strength but also their rage and lack of control. There have been times in the comic where Jen has gotten much bigger and much more like the traditional Hulk but that comes at a cost of her intelligence and control

She’s better at controlling her rage which they explain so this allows her to change at will and she is more flexible. That’s two things. Not “everything”. Please let me know what I missed.

Went into this one with no expectations, as the D+ series have had middling results for me. But I got a huge kick out of this from start to finish (even though I had no clue who the villainess at the end was). Loved the humor, the little asides about Bruce and Tony’s activities, Jen and Bruce’s interactions, and the…

I should know better than to treat this comment as a good-faith argument about Bruce vs Jen’s abilities, even though it’s been a tired talking point for a month now since the first preview came out. But it should be stated at least once in the thread that this isn’t what the show actually depicted.

As soon as she walked into that restroom, I immediately thought, “Ewww. you’re barefoot.” Glad those ladies remedied that post-haste.

Obligatory Canadian comment that Orphan Black is Canadian. Now that that’s out of the way: I think this show is a delight! I do not take issue with the character design whatsoever. The point Jen makes over and over again that women can’t really hulk out and have to learn to manage their rage lest they’re seen as…

‘”She lets out a barbaric battle cry before launching herself at these creepos.”’

The soul of a nation?  Like the GQP cares.  They would rather destroy the soul of the nation then lose power.
