Jen’s adventure ended on a less-than-positive note. She-Hulk using the Disney+ menu screen to break into Marvel Studios was the extreme fourth wall break fans had been clamouring for from the start.

It talked about all the flaws of the usual Marvel finales, but it did not have any alternatives - the episode just skipped all the character-building major conflicts and moved on to the epilogue. An epilogue so rushed through and happy that it was hard to take seriously. Jennifer was in the most psychologically vulnerable spot in the first act, then she got her confidence back and the villains were defeated off-screen. Suddenly, Daredevil was back, meeting Jen’s family.

When The Green Giantess barged into Marvel Studios, she had the mission to make the episode less messy, with the implication that she succeeded. So why did it become even harder to follow? The good ending that she promised never happened.
