Oh, thank god this interminable season is finally coming to an end.
Whose Show Is This? is not much of a season finale anyway, as Jessica Gao and her sisterhood of diversity hires have already achieved their life’s biggest and sizzling fantasy, albeit vicariously, by having their collective OC stand-in turn Charlie Cox into their sex toy and simp.
What else is there for them to do, now that they have all achieved their collective galaxy-shattering orgasm, Sense8-style? Well, funnel in some barely developed entity that is a thinly-veiled MRA group, have their OC stand-in smash the ring and go yay, women rule y’all, and then, it’s the end.
Oh, and is that KEVIN scene the one that had strong, empowered Jessica Gao almost driven to quit, as she told the media, because Kevin Feige dared to disagree with a decision of hers to parody him on the show?
At any rate, if life is fair and true, this wretched Green-Hag character will be dumpster-ed into memory hole and will never be spoken of ever again, and Ms Gao and her colleagues can go back to making bitter tweets and TikTok rants about how horrible men are because these men don’t fall in line with everything they say and want.
I mean, let’s look at it objectively: there are nine episodes in this season, and in these nine episodes, what exactly happened in the season? Were there any compelling story line or character development?
No, Green-Hag remains a blank slate that exudes only smugness and a sense of entitlement without any other hint that can be loosely defined as a personality.
The “plot”, if I can call it that, is just this insufferable wretch trying to get laid, whining about how men suck, and beating down these men with all the collective pent-up rage of bitter single thirty-something wine mom cat ladies in Ms Gao’s gentrified neighborhood.
The biggest tragedy of this nonsensical waste of time is that this is supposed to be a superhero show created and scripted by mostly women, as well as made by mostly women… and the best they can come up with is a nine-episode equivalent of a compilation of all the ranting and raving of those wine mom cat ladies on TikTok about how their latest date was a disaster, how they couldn’t find men that fit their exacting list of 105 “must-have” items, et cetera.
This only reinforces the stereotype that women are terrible at superhero shows, and it’s really unfortunate, because there have been and still are many talented women behind the scenes, authoring and writing and directing and producing great science-fiction and fantasy media.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law just isn’t it, sis, but I suppose that’s what we get when big corporations start using diversity and inclusion as a pretense to hire cheap, unqualified people as part of their cost-cutting measures.
