I don't think it shocks anyone when I say that the Phase 4 of the MCU was....well...a pile of crap. Out of a load of movies and tv shows, one of them was actually good and it was made by Sony rather than Disney. Multiverse of Madness is considered one of the worst superhero movies of all time due to how idiotic the story actually is. But no other show or MCU product has been able to spark such controversy besides the latest tv show...
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Ever since episode one this show has been shrouded in controversy for its logic and obvious agenda. The cgi looks terrible, which is a given for MCU shows, and the characters are just bleh. But I think one of the biggest reasons why this show is so hated is due to the main character herself, Jennifer Walters.
Well for starters, Jennifer has already taken the mantle of "strong female character" by being obnoxiously smug and better at everything she does. It's the exact reason why no one likes Captain Marvel and it's the exact reason why no one likes most female protagonists. They all have to be better at everything for "empowerment." She also falls into the category of cringe due to her fourth wall breaking "jokes." By jokes I mean Gmod animations are funnier than this shit.
However, the true gist of this discussion is about "that scene."
No! Not that scene! This scene!

(Sorry couldn't find the exact scene)
She-Hulks explanation for being able to control her anger essentially boils down to "first world problems for women." Catcalling, mansplaining, whatever the fucking "murdered" point was, she uses this all to try to explain to Bruce how she's so much better at controlling her anger.
Keep in mind, she's telling this to Bruce Banner. The MCU character with the worst life out of anyone in the hero side. To give an example, here's a short list of all the things he's been through and been having to keep bottled inside in fear of Hulk going ballistic.
• Was chased and hunted down by the military in his first movie • Tried to kill himself but Hulk wouldn't allow it • Had to stop an alien invasion with the Avengers • Was mind controlled into going on a rampage across a city, killing hundreds of people and causing millions of dollars in property damage • Lives with the fact that his closest friends are afraid of him • Was trapped on an alien world for years, which Hulk was in full control over his body. • Got his ass kicked by Thanos • Had to live with the regret of being unable to stop half the universe from dying • Spent years trying to find an equilibrium with Hulk • Had to withstand the strength of a makeshift infinity gauntlet in order to bring half of all life back • The love of his life sacrificed herself to help save the universe • Watched Tony Stark, his closest friend, die in front of his eyes • Essentially watched Steve Rogers die when he came back as an old man • And now has to live with the fact that his cousin was able to control her powers perfectly almost immediately when it took him blood, sweat, and tears to do so.
The show wants me to think that She-Hulk has it rough???? Bitch, she has the easiest fucking life compared to everyone, minus probably Ms. Marvel or something. Hell, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Captain Fucking Marvel suffered more than her. At least she was brainwashed into forgetting her memories. But the worst thing about that scene is how it shows Jennifer is a complete hypocrite.
She says she's able to control her anger so much better than Hulk, but compared to him her reasoning is bullshit. If being catcalled nearly causes you to get so angry you can't control it, I'm sorry honey but you're life isn't that bad. If anything you're a superpowered hypocrite on the levels of The Boys superheroes.
Hulk you deserved so much better than this bullshit....
