That Megan thee Stallion stuff was crinnnnnggge, but then again I’m old.
The Abomination/Wong stuff makes no logical sense whatsoever. Why would Wong bust a random villain out of prison for a training exercise at a fight club??
… that said it’s still a fun show, mostly thanks to Tatiana, but the plotting feels rather haphazard. And whatever happened to Titania, who had like one line and vanished?

I liked the reporter asking if she got her powers from a mafia hit gone wrong. Nice reference to the comics.

I loved this episode but the whole Wong/Abomination plot seems weird specially when in Shang Shi it appeared that both of them where just fixing the fight for money. Still, is not a big deal.
The whole episode felt like the John Byrne She-Hulk series from the 90’s. Lots of humor, blink and you miss it jokes and irreverence towards the whole macho crowd that can’t fucking deal that this show is not a regular action superhero one. All the Twitter comments are actual real ones that idiots posted on social media when the show was announced.
Runa seems to be an stand in for Impossible Man and his appearances in the She-Hulk series. Loving every minute into the show.
It seems that we’ll see a Hulk powered Wrecking Crew soon in the MCU

These are entertaining but it seems sort of like fluff. Really isn't much to these. Hopefully they progress the story along a bit to where it is more than just her being a lawyer and mundane cases.

It is fluff and farcical and I think they are pulling it off so well. Maslany is just perfect for this role and killing it. The whole show is not to be taken seriously and that’s fine. We don’t need every Marvel or Star Wars tv show to be dark and brooding as most have been. This show is different and a breath of fresh air in the overpopulated Disney arsenal. Love this show.

This third episode went off the rails for me. I don't mind comedy mixed in with the superhero stuff, but the comedy has to produce laughs--which it didn't for me.
Thankfully, it was short. I'll watch the whole series, but my interest level is dropping at this point.

Overall plot for this episode was meh, but the jokes are still a hit for me.
The CGI is still horrid though haha
The thirst trap line had me cracking up.

That this has only 11 comments I think speaks for itself. I just have no interest in anything other than MCU movies going forward (if Secret Wars is good I'll check it out) but they've made it painfully clear that none of these shows are essential viewing - all completely disposable and not really worth anyone's time.

This show was always going to be light like a sitcom, which it basically is. I don't think it needs to have some deep serialized mythology. I mean if you don't think it's funny, then that's your opinion. Not all comedy hits the same way with everyone.
I'm not familiar with Megan thee Stallion, so the stuff involving her didn't really hit it off with me. The stuff with the Elf and Jen's colleague was kind of corny. Although the post credit scene with her and She-Hulk was kinda amusing.
I did feel the episode ended somewhat abruptly after the failed attempt to get Jen's blood.

Good ep. I’m enjoying the short episodes and the comedy.
I loved it when the Elf started the “Asgard is not a place” speech… and was cut off.
We need more of Jennifer’s dad… and speaking of cameos, we need a cameo with Bronson Pinchot.

The CGI in this episode was so bad. I wish I could compare earlier episodes side by side with this one. She-hulk just look terrible. But, I still enjoy the show somewhat its not high on my list of must watch.

I was trying to place the guys that attacked her and couldn't. Then I read that they are The Wrecking Crew. Wish I would have realized that at the time while watching it. I was thinking, this is dumb. Now I think that is a clever inclusion.

It's a fun show. I like that it's light and short. Tatiana is great, and I like the supporting cast, too.

I was really struck by the quick scene with them in the van after she kicked their asses. I don't know if I've ever seen some bad guys have a moment in a movie or TV show to regroup and do a little follow-up like that.

It's fine. It's a fun little diversion one half hour a week. Completely inessential but I still get a chuckle or two from each one. And the effects don't really bother me even if they're not too convincing.

When people say they don't like this, I won't argue or debate with them. This show definitely isn't for everyone. It's just whether you find it funny or not, not necessarily for the plots.
And now I can't stop listening to the "Body" song

I took it as the Wong/Abomination fight took place at another point (with wrong transporting him back into his cell as he requested). The Fight Club footage leaked during She-Hulk episode 2.
So, the way I see the timeline:
5 years of Blip - Hulk creates lab and turns into Smart Hulk
Endgame - Hulk snaps and damages his arm
After this Wong snags Abomination for the training he mentions at the Fight Club
Events of Shang-Chi
End Credits of Shang-Chi
She-Hulk Episode 1
She-Hulk Episode 2 footage of Fight Club leaks
She-Hulk Episode 3 Wong explains why he took Abomination and why he was returned to prison
Granted I'm on board with the question of why Wong would need to do this as Sorcerer Supreme training anyway or why it wasn't done during the 5 years when Strange was gone but I suppose there were other fish to fry. I mean, granted, it looked like Abomination and Wong were somewhat cooking the Fight Club's books so Wong could have very well be lying to the committee but
