She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode Nine Review - 8 Ups & 4 Downs
12. Down - It Was Dream Sequence-Esque
If there is one thing that is infuriating to anyone invested in a story of any kind, it’s the whole ‘it was just a dream’ ending, or any variation of it. You become invested in the story, only for it to be completely wiped away in an instant. This is essentially what happened in the She-Hulk finale.
Arguably, this was the point, as the story that was being told wasn’t great and made little to no sense. But still, it made it hard for viewers to draw the line between what was real and what wasn’t.
The entire feel of She-Hulk played with this throughout season one, with the fourth wall breaks and meta jokes making it impossible to take things too seriously, but ripping the rug from under them like this was arguably a mistake.
The reveal that Todd was the HulkKing was lost in the clamour, as was Emil’s return to his Abomination form. It felt like it was a relatively short episode and too much of it was wasted on something that didn’t truly count or matter.
