I think Todd is up to no good. My guess is that he's related to the Wrecking Crew or even hired them to try and get Jen's blood. And now that he's seen how she's conflicted about her "two selves" I think he'll try to act like he likes Jen better than She-Hulk so he can steal her blood while not hulked up. That's probably how she connects with Daredevil and the two of them will team up to get her blood back. That might lead to her being in She-Hulk form 24/7 which she usually does in the comics as well.
Not sure whether they'll connect Todd directly to the Leader or maybe leave it open for now. I'm also curious as to how Titania got her powers. In the comics she gets them from Dr. Doom in the first (and better) Secret Wars but I could see something here where she got them in some attempt by Todd or some other mad scientist type to leverage gamma to create super soliders.

IMDb is only showing Todd for the two episodes he's already been in. The guy Josh that she met at the wedding also shows for only that episode. Charlie Cox/Daredevil is showing as appearing in 3 episodes, though it seems like they are counting the helmet in the box at the designer's place as one of the appearances. Still, I hope he's going to be an opponent to Jen in the courtroom. Could be fun if they do it like Batman Returns where Bruce and Selena get romantic while Batman and Catwoman fight.

So now I don't even trust the B-villains at the retreat. I know they all seemed sweet and harmless but they never really figured out why Blonsky's anklet malfunctioned. His story about the electric fence didn't ring true.
I think the big reveal at the end of this season will be that mostly everyone has been working against Jen. As if once they learned there was another Hulk they all jumped at the chance to get her blood (I would assume they'd already given up on getting Bruce's blood).

Finally some action. I liked the way they mixed in DD. Similar enough to the Netflix version but with a bit of a fresh take. It does seem like the finale will answer a lot of questions. I still think "almost everyone" is working against Jen and there will be some moments where she might literally 4th wall something like "oh come on! him too?"

I won't be surprised if Titania ends up helping Jen in a "girl power" moment. I'm just as annoyed as the females are when a girl gets labeled as a slut for the exact same actions that get a male labeled as a stud, but rallying the females with it is a bit of a cliche. I'd really like to see some males speak up on her behalf. I'm also predicting that Blonsky is behind Intelligencia - they hammered to death how the internet wasn't available at the retreat, then the big bad is internet-based; gee, how could the source of the internet-based org be a secret... Also, Abomination gives someone known to be stronger for She-Hulk to have to fight.

Yeah I agree on the cliche bit - though technically in this case it's somewhat true to the comics. But a twist like having some women "bad" and/or some male character take her side would be refreshing. I also think Abomination will be connected. They never really got a good answer on why his anklet malfunctioned either. |

E1 and E8 were the best (so far) IMO. I make no speculations or predictions, but you make a good point on the bracelet.......... and Hari Seldon's theory about the internet is sound, too. Hoping the finale makes this show worthwhile and sets up for future appearances by Jen in the MCU |

I agree with everything everyone has said so far. I am not sure where they plan to take things with the show, but I've enjoyed it so far and really hope we see more appearances from Jen in the MCU. Perhaps in the upcoming DD series?? It would be a no-brainer to work her in there!

I have seen speculation that Jen and Matt could be at the center of another Civil War storyline. Maybe not "war" as much as more of a legal debate of some kind.

Such an odd finale and I know it won't land with everyone. I enjoyed it though and part of the reason is I like that they have a variety within MCU shows/films. Self-parody is a huge part of She-Hulk in the comics so extending this to the show really fits for me. Until the late 4th wall break I was asking myself some of the same questions Jen had.
I would have loved the episode to have been 10 minutes longer with a more complete wrap-up, but otherwise I liked it.

I have to admit, I didn't see that ending coming. I really liked the parody of the 70's Incredible Hulk opening credits. Blonsky was kind of interesting - yes he violated parole by transforming and yes he was speaking at the anti-female club meeting, but when he grabbed Jen, he was getting her out of harms way rather than attacking her. Speaking of the club, would anyone else liked to have seen a cameo by Ed O'Neil wearing a "No Ma'am" t-shirt?

On the surface he looks more like a buffoon than anything. As if he's not aware of what that group was about. Either that or he's doing a very long con and is secretly running it all (or helping). Or maybe he's actually infiltrating that group for the Thunderbolts or something. |

Or maybe he's running a Wong con. He wasn't the least bit surprised at Wong coming to get him and was even expecting it to have been sooner. I wouldn't even be surprised if Wong was the one who neutralized the inhibitor. |

Not sure who out-ranks who or what the rest of the story is, but yes totally got that vibe that Blonsky was waiting for Wong to bust him out. |

I was just finally able to watch it and I loved it! Some of the stuff at the end was pretty spot on as far as Marvel ("Everyone signs the NDA"). Did anyone else think something happened to the program for a split second?  |
