Meh, even with Byrne in mind, she was still mediocre. While his run was at minimum "fun" or quirky; She-Hulk's mid in the comics too, some things she did was cringe, like using her strength to muscle people through intimidation or property damage but it played off as cutesy-- dumb, cause the moron's a lawyer, not some street-gal . And yes that was Bryne. However, the difference is she's likable, but not interesting in the slightest; she's relatable DLC. No different from Kara Bore-El. Point being- because she's such a safe-mode, bland concept, she's non-offensive, very easy to attach to. So you'd have to put in serious effort to make her insufferable to a normie. But somehow they did it. All it took was more intersectional feminism when the character was already moderately Feminist as she was in her better runs & it worked, I don't even like She-Hulk but I can acknowledge she works as a feminist character. Because feminism as it's supposed to be is just a woman living her life. The whole making a statement shit is beyond feminism, because that translates to #1compensatory whining, #2 always justifying oneself, #3always being a burden out of spite because the most empowered always have their hands out but build & contribute absolutely nothing that's valuable to the infrastructure that makes their privileged reality possible. #4 defiance constantly, & the result is they represent progress at the cost of a future----- That whiney little sister archetype, that isolationist propagandism, that's not feminism. But feminism got absorbed into that shit. So now that's "modern feminism" Politics turned something objectively good into a gag-reflex inducer. That's what MCU She-Hulk represents, and the writing champions it. It's sad. You have to try your best to fail an NPC character like Walters lol.
