To be more precise, the woman writing this is Jessica Gao. I probably brought up before that a lot of the writers for the MCU come from shows like Rick & Morty and she's literally the same woman who wrote Pickle Rick. A lot of people never look into these things and think they're fucking up "action series" with comedy but no, MCU projects are written as comedies first. This happens regardless if the source material is supposed to be a comedy which it usually isn't. Sure, the She-Hulk show in particular is supposed to be like a sitcom but it's why all of them have that tone. I think you even pointed out Dr. Strange 2 borrowing a plot point from R&M which also had a writer from that show.The women who are writing this show are the sort of thoughtless drones who have swallowed every ounce of feminist pabulum without ever stopping to consider the larger implications of living up to the letter of it. The sort of people who never considered how, for instance, the Bechdel Test fails for some of the strongest female characters ever written: most Bronte sister protagonists, Scarlett O'Hara, Nurse Ratched, Clarice Starling. I'm sure you can think of dozens more.
It's the sort of bubblegum feminism that is written for YASS SLAY QUEEN and I DON'T NEEDS NO MANS moments, shallow as a mudpuddle in Arizona.
