I love the 4th wall breaking, it's a nice and refreshing storytelling tool that I hope Marvel is testing ahead of Deadpool 3. I'm still not sure of Emil really is rehabilitated, everything so far points to "yes", but honestly who the hell know, right? Also, having some actual court cases involving superheroes and other non-humans is an interesting take, I'd love to see how else aliens and meta-humans will impact the law. Will they always be judged by the same rules, or are the rules going to have to change in some cases to accommodate a wider view? I hope they'd dig more into that. Jennifer Walters, being both an attorney and a superhero struggling to find balance and favoring the former over the latter, would maybe have a hard time reconciling over the idea that laws might need to be malleable in some cases. Wong's reference to Spider-Man NWH was great, and Wong in general was great. Wish we knew where in the timeline this is in respect to Doctor Strange MoM.
Now for what I disliked: this episode felt like a marketing plot for Meghan Thee Stallion, who I swear I thought was a made up character. Who is she? Why was her name mentioned so many times in this episode? Why is she in the episode? Who cares? How does this drive the plot? Why was this whole angle necessary?! And that twerking and dancing at the end, what the heck was that all about?! I had to close that scene because I just couldn't handle this level of cringe, why did anyone think this is a good idea for a scene? What does this teach us about Jennifer? What do we as an audience learn? That she can twerk in Hulk mode? How is this necessary for the plot? The little gang attack near the end was a little weird too, I think they could've found a better way to introduce the key arch nemesis for this show than a bunch of goons with no acting ability using "Asgardian construction tools", I mean come off it. And stop leaning on New Asgard that much, for god's sake, we get it. Thor 4 didn't really deliver, so now this is your deus ex-machina for everything?
This is the 3rd episode of 9, so it's ok for the pacing to be a little slow in the overall plot line, and while some aspects are enjoyable, there's a lot to be desired. Waiting for episode 4.
