    The show fails at comedy and that was the central item that was supposed to hold it together.

    The problem is the the show is supposed to be absurd and doesn’t get there. The jokes don’t land and that wrecked the premise.

    She hulk is a supposed to be a tongue in cheek takedown of the marvel’formula’ she calls out each item as it happens.

    The tone they hit is about. Halfway where it needs to be where they want the main character taken seriously at times and irreverent at others.

    The twerking scene is a perfect example of this. There is no reason for Megan thee stallion to have Jen as a lawyer. So it should be absolutely insane that a lawyer declares that she will kill for a client then starts busting a move with them. It should be so far outside of the norm for lawyers and the characters that it feels like a flash mob performing’never going to give you up’. Spoiler it doesn’t, it feel like just another set up joke. It never hits the line right between jokey and serious.

    The finale didn’t land because it felt too serious. It was supposed to be gut ripping funny when she hulk travels from marvel show to the main menu.

    It was a HEAVY lift to write and they didn’t get there. The main actor wasn’t charming enough to pull off the character development and comedy scenes. the vfx obscured any nuance in performance.

    It was halfway between falling down and Ferris bulers day off and that’s not a good thing.
