She-Hulk: Episode 7

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.
