Last night's She-Hulk, the season finale, informed me it was a creative triumph. Which is certainly not something I would have picked up on otherwise. Headwriter Jessica Gao returns to write the finale, the third episode she's written in the series overall, after the first two episodes. I still think the first two episodes are pretty good but this final episode just felt like Gao didn't want to be doing this anymore.

Last night's She-Hulk wasn't as good as last week's but it wasn't altogether bad. It made me realise one of the assets of last week's episode is it didn't have that terrible rushed quality that diminishes most of the MCU shows.

Last night's She-Hulk wasn't so bad, actually. It was written by Zeb Wells, a rare example of someone who wrote for Marvel Comics moving over to write for the MCU. And he also wrote for Robot Chicken, which explains why some of the jokes were actually funny.

Last night's episode of She-Hulk, "Just Jen", does not, as of this writing, have its own Wikipedia entry yet. All the other episodes do, which I find surprising for a show with low ratings and a Rotten Tomatoes audience score that can't crack 40%. I guess the Marvel name still has a lot of cache but, by Jove, they're burning through it seemingly without restraint. "Just Jen" was just dull.

I didn't mind last night's She-Hulk. Which may sound like damning with faint praise but after a long day at work, the fact that it didn't feel like it wasted thirty minutes of my tiny amount of free time is saying something. I even laughed at one joke.

It was written by Dana Schwartz, whose background is as an entertainment journalist. I think this helped her find the right tone for some aspects of the episode.

Last night's She-Hulk was better than last week's, it had at least one good scene. It was better when it thought it was an MCU movie and not when it thought it was a comedy or commentary on modern dating.

It was written by Melissa Hunter, a writer with some experience, and actress, too. In fact, she was the creator and star of Adult Wednesday Addams, a 2013 to 2015 YouTube series about Wednesday Addams as an adult that's now been removed from YouTube. I guess now we know where Netflix get their ideas.

Well, that was weak. Last night's new She-Hulk: Attorney at Law aimed for the tone of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, baffling many people who tried to approach the episode as an honest piece of the MCU. The first episode not to be written by Jessica Gao, "The People vs. Emil Blonsky" was written by Jacqueline Gailes and Francesca Gailes, whose previous credits include working as assistants on Punky Brewster (the reboot) and The Tick (the new live action one). Going for the gusto, eh, Disney? Francesca Gailes has two actual writing credits, though, having written a short film called Awake and six episodes of a series called The Enemy: The N in Me, examining the internalised racism of a young black man. Just the kind of expertise that completely did not come in handy for last night's She-Hulk.

Last night brought another funny little episode of She-Hulk. Like the premiere episode, it was written by Jessica Gao and it'll be the last one written by her until the finale on October 13. Hopefully the various writers-without-wikipedia-entries in between are better than the average new MCU or Star Wars writer. Gao, like Michael Waldron, who worked on Loki and Multiverse of Madness, had previously worked on Rick and Morty and it's starting to look like a fair assumption that Kevin Feige is a Rick and Morty fan. At least, so far, the MCU output from both writers hasn't been as jokey and insubstantial as Love and Thunder.

I whole-heartedly enjoyed the first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The writing from Jessica Gao was mostly razor sharp and Tatiana Maslany is solid gold in the role of Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk. The special effects may not be perfect--I wish She-Hulk's hair moved a little more--but, as someone who regularly re-watches classic Doctor Who, I can't complain.
