She-Hulk Episode 7 Review

gamerant.com:

Warning! This review contains spoilers for episode 7 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is back with another mostly standalone episode, “The Retreat.” Jen visits Emil Blonsky at a wellness retreat for superhumans and ends up stranded there when a Z-list Marvel character named Man-Bull rams into her car and renders it undrivable. Tatiana Maslany continues to delight with her effortless charisma and spot-on comic timing in the title role. Tim Roth returns with his dryly hilarious turn as the new and improved Abomination alongside obscure scene-stealers like Nate Hurd as Man-Bull, Joseph Castillo-Midyett as El Águila, Jordan Aaron Ford as Porcupine, and Terrence Clowe as the vampiric Saracen.

Instead, it sets up an internal conflict as Jen sleeps with Josh and then waits days for him to text her back, then sets up an external conflict with Blonsky’s wellness retreat, then brings the two together as she opens up about her insecurities and dating struggles during one of Blonsky’s group therapy sessions. Blonsky and his fellow reformed supervillains help Jen gain some self-confidence before taking her for some R&R in the yurt. And then, just as she’s leaving the retreat in a tow truck, more sure of herself than ever, the twist ending hits.
