Idk if you have watched she hulk but I wanna know, do you think they sexualized her a lot. I can’t help but think that

i think once you accept that she-hulk as a concept is supposed be an otherwise conventionally hot giant green woman (be she a mediocre cgi lady or a comic book lady), she's not really.... more sexualized than any other woman in the MCU? like i think you could argue making a "female hulk" a ten foot woman with perfectly coiffed hair and a ""yoga body"" and luscious carefully cgi'd eyelashes is like. you know, goes into that shitty "all females of the humanoid fantasy species are Sexy, even though the men are not" trope, which I'm not a big fan of. but i kind of like jennifer walters mostly scuttling around in an oversized suit and/or her PJs, and i did kind of dig she-hulk's first big "fight" being NOT a bunch of black widow-style sexy flying take-downs, but rather a ridiculous sibling wrestling match with hulk (i may have also been drinking with my own sibling when i watched it lmao).

like there IS an entire episode about how men on a dating website think she's hotter as she-hulk than as jennifer, but that was mostly played as social commentary (not necessarily GOOD social commentary, mind you), followed by an episode where she's forced to trot out all her dates in front of a judge, which I have mixed feelings about. and i guess there's a comedic bit where she twerks? so i'm not saying she's NOT sexualized, just that it doesn't really feel super egregious compared to some other media

#a lot of the ''feminist commentary'' in she-hulk is like.... just characters saying on-the-nose things rather than #an actual exploration of being a woman in a male-dominated field #which is why jennifer says hollow girl power-y things but there are several female characters #who exist to be jokes about how vapid and obsessed with appearances can be #and why Bad Man are just cartoonishly horrible #idk i think this show would improve a lot if it leaned more into being a zany comedy #*women can be #hmm tumblr not letting me rearrange by tags anymore. oh well #anyway: i think leaning in more as a comedy about characters who happen to have superpowers would help with someone the thematic problems #like why is jennifer having a disappointing dating life such a big plot point? #the focus on this would feel less like 'oh.... she's a woman and that's what woman like!!' if this show was FULLY #a slice of life comedy set in the mcu #also her fourth wall breaks are almost all really jarring because she doesn't do them often enough and i FORGET she can lmao
