Good morning everyone! I hope you all are having a fantastic week and have some fun things planned for your weekend! I just got back a couple days ago from attending the premiere of Hocus Pocus 2 in New York City! My friend Jen had invited me as her plus one and it was such a fun trip! It's always such a joy visiting New York City, I can’t wait to be back a week from today for New York Comic Con!

But until then, we’ve got more She-Hulk to discuss! Let’s jump right into it.

SPOILERS FOR SHE-HULK EPISODE 7

You guys. This episode was EVERYTHING I’ve been waiting for!! Jen finding herself, more info on Josh, we’ve got it ALL. Okay, I want to start by talking about the main plot of the episode here—the support group. I loved how this episode had such a fun way of Jen working through her internalized struggles, and it really discussed everything I have been mentioning in my past blogs about how she is slowly starting to realize that she doesn't need to use She-Hulk as a protective barrier for herself. I am so glad that the show addressed her worries surrounding people liking Jen and not just She-Hulk. I also found myself kind of relating to this episode in a way as well. Being an influencer has so many wonderful aspects about it, but especially as someone who is known for impressions and skits I sometimes wonder if people actually want to see things about me. After such a rough week last weekend for me, I felt this episode came at a really good time. Jen didn't even have to break the fourth wall in this one for me to feel like she was talking right at me. And on a more basic level I think it reflects that of what a lot of people online feel! In this day with so much social media, we showcase our best "She-Hulks", our best lives, and don't show our "Jen"s as often.

It was so great to see the support group hyping Jen up while also allowing her to talk through her own issues. They weren't rude or mean about it or even condescending. They let her say what they had to say, while also sharing their own experiences to help. I'm so glad that Jen is finally getting to the point she feels confident as both Jen and She-Hulk, but I really am starting to worry how she is going to feel after she eventually finds out about Josh.

Ohhhh Josh Josh Josh. I am. SO. Mad. At. Him. I had a small sliver of hope that maybe they were just using him and he actually was a nice guy, that maybe he didn't know he was being followed. But NO. NO! This guy is a jERK. Poor Jen. I am so nervous for her! She just can't catch a break :( I am also a little confused about the very end there after he copies her phone. Was he texting Bruce? Did he take a blood sample? It was like, clear and unclear at the same time. Either way. This guy is bad news.

Also the other thing that kind of make me nervous with this, going back to the support group for a second, was the guy who was there that was a part of that group who originally tried to kill her. Is he still working for them? I mean it didn't seem like it, but also Josh didn't seem like it either. Was that another way to get eyes and ears on Jen? God you guys, I know she's going to be fine but I STILL WORRY. Jen is definitely starting to turn into one of my favorite MCU characters.

What do you all think is going to happen? I think we've had a pretty slow build so far and I've really liked that so far, but I always get worried that they might rush the finale. I guess we will have to see! Sending all my luck to Jen for these next couple of episodes.

-Jess (FPP)

Happy She-Hulk Thursday! I can't believe after this week we only have three episodes left! It's going by so fast. But then again, so is the month of September. Can you all believe it is October next week?! Crazy! But I know you all didn't come here to listen to me rant about the passage of time, so let's jump into my She-Hulk review, shall we?

SPOILERS FOR SHE-HULK EPISODE 6!

Right off the bat, I could tell this episode was going to be a fun one just from the confetti flying out of the box. Jen's comment about how the wedding episode came at a time that was inconvenient, just like weddings in real life, had me laughing so hard. I think this has been one of the things that I've loved so much about She-Hulk so far, is that it shows so much of that slice-of-life Avengers that we all so crave! It's not always Jen fighting aliens or hulk-smashing things. We also get to learn about her and her personality as well.

While I was really hoping to see her new super suit, I think it was cool to see the other outfits that she had made for her to fit as both Jen and She-Hulk this episode! And I think this episode also gave us a nice look into how Jen's still handling trying to find herself as well. Instead of just showing up as Jen to the wedding to begin with, she shows up as She-Hulk because she thinks that is the only way that people will appreciate her there. And can we also talk about how rude Julie is to her? Gosh, poor Jen can't catch a break. All she wants is to feel valued, and the last three episodes she can't even be herself without someone making mean or unnecessary comments towards her :(

Titania showing up at the wedding came as a shock to me, to be completely honest. I figured we wouldn't be seeing her for a handful of episodes, and it was just so random that she was there. Not to mention her making a complete fool of herself by trying to start a fight with Jen and then losing BIG TIME. (Another Jen line that made me laugh here was when she was trying to turn into She-Hulk when she was drunk and she said she "forgot how to do it" hahaha!).

MR. IMMORTAL!! We can't forget about him. That whole side plot was WILD. But it was so fun to watch Mallory and Nikki interact with one another on a Super Hero case (though, can we even call Mr. Immortal a Super Hero? He wasn't doing much good other than being a home wrecker, haha!). But we absolutely cannot end this blog without talking about what Mallory and Nikki dug up at the end. Finding that website with death threats and horrible messages aimed at Jen is definitely leading into what I'm going to assume is a maaaajor issue in the next few episodes. I do have to say, while Mallory's intentions were nice in trying to protect Jen from going down into a mental spiral, I don't think it was in their best interest to keep that hidden from Jen. I'm siding with Nikki on this one, I'm glad she called her! I think it's important to share information like that just from a standpoint of safety, especially in a world where Super Human Beings exist.

And clearly someone is planning some major harm to Jen based on the very very end with that guy she was hanging out with at the wedding! Ugh, I was so hoping she had found her guy! I should have known it was too good to be true! He was so sweet, too. But I'm sure he's probably working for whoever is after Jen right now...

Now that we are more than halfway through the show, what has everyone's favorite part been? I'm really loving just getting to learn more about Jen and her fourth wall joke breaks. Hoping for more fourth wall breaks next week!!

Well hello hello my lovely people, and happy Monday. I apologize for the late post on this blog discussing Episode 5 of She-Hulk. This past week has been a bit of a rough one for me, and I really needed to slow down and take some time to focus on my mental well-being. And that meant not posting skits/making a blog post right away. So I want to take a quick little second to remind you all that if you are feeling burnt out, tired, or just not yourself, it's okay to take breaks. If you keep pushing yourself without giving yourself the fuel and energy you need, it can quickly lead to exhaustion and burnout. I love you all bunches. Take care of yourselves for me <3

With that being said...let's jump into this week's episode, shall we?

Now I typically tend to write these blog posts immediately after watching the episode so that I don't forget any important details, but obviously that didn't happen this week. So bear with me while I write this. Apologies if I miss any big important plot points! But I also think it's best to discuss what really stood out to me here.

First of all, I just need to begin by saying that if Marvel doesn't actually make these She Hulk by Titania perfumes, they are REALLY missing a marketing opportunity. I would buy that in a HEARTBEAT. What would a She-Hulk perfume even smell like? The bottles give me maybe like a rose-scented vibe, but I also feel like something earthy smelling would be good too. Like greenery? You know what I mean?

Anyways, the Titania commercials and Jen's reactions made me laugh so hard. Also Jen's lawyer Mallory? Absolute GIRL BOSS I love her so much. And the fact that she is played by Renée Elise Goldsberry makes it even better. (Also, idk if you guys have called the 1-877-SHE-HULK number lately, but they changed their whole voicemail to be based around Titania's commercials. HOW FUN IS THAT?!).

I have to admit, I thought that they were going to win the case based on the fact that Titania doesn't use a hyphen in her version of the pseudonym and Jen does. (So, for example, Jen uses "She-Hulk" while Titania uses "She Hulk", no hyphen). So I was a little surprised at first about the direction that they decided to go on her case with just proving that it was being used poorly against Jennifer, but in the end it actually made sense. And the fact that she had to bring in her dating profile dates to "save the day" destroyed me. Poor Jen, that must have been so embarrassing.

But I think the thing that really stood out to me about Jen's trial here was when that doctor she went on that date with was talking about how She-Hulk was his type but Jennifer wasn't. The hurt in Jen's eyes, and the way she teared up hearing him say that absolutely broke my heart. I think it really speaks on this expectation of women, that some men only look for their "type" based on how women dress, their makeup and physical appearance, rather than who they are as a person and what their life consists of. You can see Jen's heart break the more she realizes this. Absolutely earth shattering. But it did lead to the fun bar scene with Mallory and Jen just hanging out after the trial, and I think that that was really sweet. Whether their relationship is "friends" or if Jen saw them as something more, I thought it was so cute and fun to see them interact after the trial ended.

I think the funniest part of the episode by far was Pugh and Nicki trying to get the stylist for Jen so that she has a new suit. The "Avongers" merch made me laugh so hard, and I loved that it was in the style of the 100% Soft emojis that we see on Instagram. And Luke, the stylist, was essentially the Edna Mode of this She-Hulk episode. That was HILARIOUS. I'm so bummed we don't get to see Jen's new outfits yet, but I am really excited for next week's episodes when they will (hopefully) be revealed!

Also we can't forget to mention the DAREDEVIL MASK!!! I was so hoping he would show up this week, but having Mallory as Jen's lawyer was a good choice and I'm kind of glad they made us wait a whole other week. Or maybe even more if they decide not to bring him into Episode 6 either...

This episode felt a little slower to me, but I think for good reason. If every episode was action packed, it wouldn't make them as special when we finally get to watch them! So overall, I enjoyed the episode. Excited for this week's! Only a few more days. What do you guys think? Is the show leading to anything specific? For now, I'm just enjoying the ride, and can't wait to see what the future of the MCU holds for us :)

It was so fun to see that the very start of the Marvel section of the panel began with the ever famous "Save the City" from Rogers: The Musical (which had originally debuted in the Hawkeye show this past December in 2021). I saw bits and pieces from leaked clips on Twitter, but I SO wish I could have seen it in person! Something about live music performances just make me so excited. And add Marvel to that mix? Oh my god. Perfection!
​
​

Inside sources at D23 have stated that there was a new trailer released for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and a new clip shown for the movie! IGN stated that the clip showed the Queen of Wakanda talking in a hearing with other countries. I am so so SO excited for this movie. The movie releases in theaters November 11th, 2022.
​

Some exclusive footage was shown in regards to Ironheart's character at D23 this afternoon! I know I'm certainly excited for this one. The most we have seen publicly so far of her character was that tiny snippet of her in the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer!
​

Okay, this one is one that I am DYING to learn more about! Come on Marvel, drop the trailer for us already! Apparently there was new exclusive footage shown only for people at D23. I want to know more about this film SO BAD!
​

We got a new trailer today for Werewolf By Night, releasing October 7th, 2022. It is giving me a mix of The Twilight Zone and The Game of Clue vibes. What do you all think? Looks like I have my Halloween spooky show (next to rewatching WandaVision, of course!).
​

These two shows were talked about together, as it was announced that Armor Wars would take place as a result of Secret Invasion. And we got a new trailer! Maria Hill looks so done with Fury, and it was so awesome to see Rhodey in the MCU again! I'm so looking forward to this one. It's streaming in 2023 on Disney+.
​

News was dropped today about Loki Season 2 and we even found out that Ke Huy Quan is joining the second season! I am so excited for him to join the MCU, and I can't wait to learn more about how this next season will play out! I feel like all I know about it so far were those behind the scenes clips that people managed to snag of them in a McDonald's hahah!
​

While there wasn't any new news about The Fantastic Four to announce, Kevin Feige promised that perhaps there will be more news at the next D23 Expo! We did find out that Matt Shakman from WandaVision will be directing it, though! Sounds like things are still in the works for the next film. Either that, or it's directly connected to events that we don't know about yet! It drops in theaters November 8th, 2024.

More news about Echo was announced today! I'm excited to hear more about this as well! It is so wonderful to finally see more representation for those in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community coming to the screen, specifically in the MCU.
​

Some more details were shared about the new Daredevil show, and it was said that the show will be 18 (!!!) episodes long! Gotta be honest here, guys...I still haven't caught up on the Netflix Daredevil show! I better get my act together soon.
​

Even more news was released about the newest Captain America starring Anthony Mackie! And it was announced that The Leader will make a return appearance in this film! I feel like there is so little that we know so far, but I am SO excited about this!
​

A Thunderbolts movie was announced! I am SO stoked for this! It will feature Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, The Red Guardian, Valentina, Ghost, Taskmaster, and John Walker making a return as US Agent. I'm so excited that we get some more of characters we haven't seen in a while, and even more Bucky and Yelena content! It is set to drop in theaters July 26th, 2024.
​

A new trailer for The Marvels was shown exclusively to D23 members today! I hope they release it to the public soon. I am so ready for more Ms. Marvel! Not to mention that we get to learn more about Monica, too! We haven't seen her since WandaVision! It drops in theaters July 28th, 2023.
​

​

Well guys, that sure was a LOT of Marvel news! I hope Marvel starts releasing some more footage and details to public knowledge soon as well! What are you all most excited for? Personally, I can't wait for Quantumania, The Thunderbolts and The Marvels!

First off, hello to you all! Happy Friday! I hope you had a good first full week of September. I'm sure many of you have started up school again, things are buckling down at work, etc. The weather is certainly getting cooler here in Massachusetts (though I've heard that over in Cali this week it's been upwards of 100 degrees. Holy cow! I guess summer isn't quite over yet on the west coast.)

We are BACK with another episode of She-Hulk and another blog post! While this episode was short, a lot happened in a small span of time. There is certainly a lot to discuss revolving this episode! So buckle down folks.

As always...SPOILERS for She-Hulk: Episode 4 below this line.

The episode begins with a lack of some of our most familiar characters and a man named Donny Blaze putting on a magic act. It's always so interesting to have new characters introduced into the MCU, and Donny certainly caused some turmoil this episode for Wong and Jen! You can probably imagine my shock when he pulled out a sling ring. Though I wasn't super overly surprised, as there are many people who train to be Masters of the Mystic Arts. I think this episode brings up a really good point about the way they handle training at the Sanctum legally! If people like Donny learn parts of the Mystic Arts and don't finish their training, they can cause issues that may in the long run threaten the safety of the multiverse (though, is the multiverse really safe after everything that happened in No Way Home and in Multiverse of Madness? Not to mention Kang on the loose....the next Ant-Man can't come soon enough!).

Jen really called me out when she was breaking the fourth wall talking about how we were happy to see Wong again. Oof. I mean, I was hahah! I loved Wong before this show, but the few episodes we've had with him in it so far have been making me love him that much more! He's been so fun to have interact with Jen. Especially when Jen seems so exasperated by the fact that Wong knows nothing about the American legal system. Having him barge into the office unannounced through a portal to talk to Jen, you could just see how their lawyer-client relationship (and their friendship!) is building.

I also found the second plot line about Jen trying to get back into dating to be very interesting. I think it brings up a good topic of conversation in regards to women in the dating scene, especially when she starts to make a dating profile as She-Hulk rather than as herself. It's almost as if Jen is putting up this front, that she is being a different person to find those that may be a good match for her. I don't think it's until the doctor love interest (that she spends a good chunk of the episode with) leaves her the next morning without eating breakfast that she begins to realize that for herself (also I was SO upset when that happened! She spent all this time making breakfast and he just LEAVES :( poor Jen!). I think she may also be having a realization that she has this newfound fame that might make relationships even messier. That people want to and will date her just because she's the She-Hulk and not for Jen. This speaks volumes, my friends. Don't change yourself and "be a different person" just to be liked by others <3.

Jumping back into the plot with Wong, the line when Donny asks what they should do about the goblins and Wong states "call my lawyer!" just MADE the episode for me. We are really starting to see how important Jen is to other Supers in terms of legal aspects AS WELL AS helping out with Super Hero issues. Her hesitation at first with trying to figure out what to do with the goblins flying around was a fun plot point as well. That while she is now a She-Hulk, and did have a little practice with Bruce in Mexico, there is still a lot that she is learning about how to be a Super Hero. I'd say she picked it up pretty fast though! They managed to clear up the mess pretty quickly. Wong and Jen make a good team!

The end of the episode ends on a "bummer" as Jen would say, when she gets handed a paper that states she is being sued by Titania for using the name She-Hulk because she didn't have it trademarked. Oh boy. I feel these next few episodes are about to get real messy. I'm so excited to have Titania back though! I've been waiting for her return. It also makes me wonder if a certain street-level Hero may be jumping in to be Jen's lawyer in the next episode 👀 and if that's the case, I think she's going to be JUST fine. He is a really good lawyer 😉

We can't end the blog without talking about our girl Madisynn with "only one y, but it's not where you thiiiiiink!". She was such a lighthearted and fun addition to the episode and I loved her relationship with Wong! Their mutual love for The Sopranos (which eventually turned into This Is Us) and the little after credit scene of them hanging out together was so sweet! It makes me happy for Wong, too. I worry for him, as Sorcerer Supreme. He's got a lot going on! He deserves a relaxing weekend with a friend. Especially after the mess he had to deal with in Multiverse of Madness!

In conclusion, I do have to say that out of all of the episodes we've gotten so far, I don't think this one was particularly my favorite, but it did have it's moments! I always try to trust the process. Marvel is very intentional with what they want to discuss and add to the plot in order to set up the future of the MCU, and I am really excited to see next week's episode with a potential Matt Murdock cameo (?!).

​Until next week, my friends! Have an absolutely lovely weekend!

It is FINALLY time to talk all things She-Hulk: Episode 3! It took me a while to watch this episode because my family and I often times try to watch all together. It gets to be a little harder once the school year starts and everyone's schedules are so different! But we made it work, and just finished watching about a half an hour ago. A day later than release, but that's okay!

Obviously, spoilers for She-Hulk: Episode 3 beyond this point!

Okay. I just need to start off by saying that I loved Wong in this episode! Oh my gosh, he absolutely cracks me up. He's just so chill and clueless about everything while simultaneously being one of the smartest people alive. He just shows up and admits to a crime and then dips as soon as his job is over 😂 also I find it interesting how when he showed up to admit that he was the one who broke Abomination out, that he was running and out of breath? Does anyone know the exact timeline of this show? What was Wong running from? Was this leading out of Multiverse of Madness or do we think this was something entirely different? Or maybe Wong seriously did just lose track of time. He is the Sorcerer Supreme, after all.

I know that this is Jen's show (as she so kindly reminded us at the beginning) but the multiple cameos we've had thus far have been SO so fun! Megan Thee Stallion showing up? That was hilarious! And I just loved how they were getting along and how canonically in the Marvel Universe, Jen is Megan Thee Stallion's lawyer 😂 I am so excited to see who else may show up in the future of the show! There are so many possibilities considering she is a lawyer, specifically for Super Heroes. Not to mention that the trailers show that Daredevil is coming soon 👀

Also can we take a second to talk about those guys who jumped Jen in the street? Who are they connected to? Also there were a lot of Asgardian references this episode, which I found to be interesting! There are Asgardian construction workers with POWER tools now?! How cool is that! But I think it's also concerning that they are trying to snag a DNA sample from her. Are they just trying to gain an upper hand on her? Is someone trying to duplicate her "She-Hulk abilities"?

The connections to The Avengers were also interesting, too. I still can't decide if the news people saying she was "rejected" by them was a false news headline made up for views, or if someone on the team outright said that she was not endorsed by them. Kind of interesting since she is a direct blood relative to Bruce. It would be one thing if she was a Hero removed from the team, but she has history of Avengerism in her family!

As per usual, this episode was fantastic. I can't wait to see what comes next as we get more into the depth of her story. ⅓ of the way through the show now! And I'm loving every second of it 🤗

It's about time for a Spider-Man blog post, don't you think? 😉

A few hours ago I got back from seeing the "More Fun Stuff Version" of Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters. Before diving into any of my thoughts on the movie, I just want to start out by saying that Spider-Man: No Way Home is my absolute favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe film that we have thus far. I have seen it multiple times since its first release in December 2021 and it never fails to disappoint.

Before the movie even began, there was an awesome clip of Tom, Tobey and Andrew all together on a Zoom call in which Tom and Tobey tell Andrew that they love him, and share a little joke about how they have been holding on to that since they filmed the "I love you guys" scene for the original release. It was such a sweet moment, and great to see the three of them chatting all together! Tom's thanks on behalf of all of the people who worked on the movie seemed so genuine and heartfelt. I wonder if the three of them knew how much of an impact this movie would have on so many peoples' lives. Also, I have to admit that for a solid thirty seconds I was in excited-panic mode, because I really thought they were going to announce The Amazing Spider-Man 3. I got played 😭

The "extended" scenes in the movie were scattered throughout the plot, but I can definitely see why they left certain scenes or dialogue pieces out of the final cut of the film. While they were fun, a lot of the scenes didn't add much to the rolling story line, and it definitely felt a bit jarring in certain sections. There were a bunch of fun clips of Peter at the police station trying to explain why he was always at different monuments, and the diagrams were cracking me up.

I loved getting to see more of the stress that Peter was feeling at school, like the scene of Flash selling his book in the hallway and doing a book singing. Betty's news cast was cute, but I can understand why they ended up cutting it from the movie, too. It was a huge chunk of footage that just kind of felt like a halting stop to the story line. But it was so fun to see that while it wasn't in the original release in 2021, they managed to still utilize some of the clips by putting them on the Daily Bugle TikTok account! The only scene that really kind of bugged me was the scene of Peter's gym class asking him to scale the wall. They kept cheering for him to climb it and then as soon as he started to it was just dead silence. I don't know, it just felt so awkward. Like there was all this hype leading up to it and then no cheering or anything? It was just strange to me.

I think my favorite added scene, though, had to be the little montage they had of Doctor Strange's basement. The scale model of the Sanctum that MJ was looking at was so cool, and I loved the added detail of Strange's shadow! Makes me wonder if that was a real-time reflection of him hanging out in the window? Or just a little loop that Wong added for visual effect 😝 and also Ned just knocking over ever table in existence kept cracking me up as well!

I love love LOVED seeing that there was a second Matt Murdock scene, and that he was Happy's lawyer! I'm still learning a lot about Daredevil and his character, but it made me so happy to see him again! And Happy actively watching the security camera footage was so funny. I'm going to miss him hanging out with Peter so much 😭

The added Andrew and Tobey interactions as well were so fun, too! I literally would watch a full length movie of just the three Spideys talking and getting to share experiences with one another. It was just hilarious to hear a more in depth conversation that we didn't originally have.

As the end credits rolled, I was curious if they would even have a second end credit scene, especially where the first time they released the movie it was just the trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Not going to lie, it made me so emotional! First of all, seeing that none of the clips they used for Betty's little "graduation" send off had Peter in them made it that much more real that everyone forgot about who he was. It was bittersweet watching all those clips from them during Far From Home. I wonder if they were actual video footage that the actors had shared for the film after their trip? Regardless, Betty saying her "one last time" sentence made me so sad. It really settled in how little we know about what is going to happen next with MCU Spidey. I hope we learn more soon! Here's to hoping we learn a little bit more at D23 Expo next week 🤭

No She-Hulk episode review just yet, because I have been waiting to watch with my family and today has been a crazy day! I'll be posting as soon as I watch sometime tomorrow (Friday, 09/02/22) and let you all know when it's up! But until then, I'm signing off.
