She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Episode 2 / Episode 3
Returned to her life, and with her new super-secret out in the open, Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) deals with the fallout of being a powerful woman (who is occasionally 8-feet tall and green) in a man’s world. Keeping the same lighter tone, even when dealing with a crisis for our heroine, the second and third episodes focus on a new direction for Jennifer’s role in a courtroom, attempting to work her alter-ego into her social life, and her struggles with how the world begins to fashion its own narrative about who She-Hulk is as our heroine remains reluctant to turn into the media storm. The focus of a super-woman in a man’s world can very much be felt here (especially with every male character a shmuck, a mansplaining Hulk, asshole, or creep with only a single exception who is about as asexual as you can get in the MCU).

The Adam Project
- Title: The Adam Project
- IMDb: link
Ryan Reynolds stars in this convoluted story of a time-traveler looking for a disruption in the timeline who travels back from 2050 to 2022 and is forced to work with his preteen self (Walker Scobell) to avoid other time travelers following him. The premise allows for an older and younger version of the same character on-screen, a very Disney Channel kind of tale, although the lengths the story goes to to explain and support this get unnecessarily complicated for the kind of film The Adam Project is in its willingness to both change time in very important ways and at the same time avoid other changes that its writers just decide shouldn’t be messed with.

Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles – The Big City
- Title: Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles – The Big City
- IMDb: link
Poor Usagi, what has Netflix done to you? Inspired by the rabbit ronin creation of Stan Sakai, but feeling more like a watered down version of the TV adventures of Kung Fu Panda (which themselves were watered-down version of the Kung Fu Panda films), Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles introduces us to Yuichi Usagi (Darren Barnet). Unlike his ancestor, Miyamoto Usagi, our new Usagi is a bit of a screw-up who dreams of becoming a samurai although his only true skill is bringing chaos and disaster with him.
