Apparently the explanation is something along the lines of his arm is healed as Smart Hulk, but not as Banner. So Smart Hulk is healed, Bruce is still healing, I guess similar to She-Hulk being sober and turning into drunk Jen.
-
Presumably it’s old footage of the fight just now surfacing, and Emil/Jen will have to explain how he got in and out without being noticed, etc…
I liked this episode. So far it’s been decent world-building. I was amused by Titania, super-powered influencer. Jen losing via mistrial due to jury prejudice was actually a realistic response to what happened.
I wonder if Mephisto is one of Emil’s seven soulmates (in all seriousness, I’m assuming it’s Elaine and the Thunderbolts).

Apparently “people” online are mad Jen was able to control the Hulk side so easily when it took Bruce so long to do so. It seems pretty obvious to me that the No-Prize explanation is that’s because Bruce took the brunt of a full on gamma explosion while Jen just got a couple of drops of gamma-radiated blood mixed with hers. Why would anyone expect the exact same reaction to occur in that instance?
In unrelated news, there’s this:

This was apparently originally supposed to be like the sixth or eighth episode, but they thought it would give the audience more emotional connection to Jen to be the first.
Everything I’ve read makes it sound like they were really struggling to find the right tone and balance (apparently they even had comic book editor notes that Jen eventually started arguing with at some point of the writing/filming stage).

I read another review on Twitter of the first four episodes that sounded similar to @TheVileOne’s above, so I’ve been more hesitant about this show than any other MCU show this far, especially with the legal aspect. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the first episode. The “You use it. Implied endorsement.” “Don’t lawyer me.” exchange was low key some of the most realistic lawyer banter I think I’ve seen on TV, and the limited firm/courtroom stuff was all fine.
A lot of really good sitcoms took a season or so to find the out footing, so I won’t be surprised if this is an uneven season. That’s doubly so if they really did start out writing it as more of a legal drama. I doubt we’ll get my ideal MCU Night Court version of the show, but it has promise so far.

Nexstar is officially becoming the owner of CW
They are buying a 75% stake from WB/Discovery and Paramount (each will split the remaining 25%)
The sale is supposed to close sometime during the third quarter
According to the Nexstar CEO, the average age of the CW viewer is 58, so they’re changing their programming to target… the 58 yr olds they’re already attracting?

I didn't watch the series but DC Superhero Girls is cancelled.
IIRC, it was created by the creator of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. My daughter never got into it because of change in the animation style from the prior SHG show.

Reboot it and have crooked cops be the ones who killed his bi-racial family.

Barry, finding Caitlyn’s secret lab, where she’s trying to bring back her sister/his teammate: No time to talk about this, I will destroy your lab immediately!
Also Barry, upon finding his sworn nemesis, who has constantly manipulated time to make his life miserable, is making a machine capable of creating an evil speedster who can nullify his powers: “Hey, what are you up to? Why are you doing this? Hey you, don’t go in that machine! Ok, I trust you now.”
-
Oh man, I just got to the Flash episode where after miraculously getting younger by complete lucky fluke, Barry decides to dramatically destroy Caitlyn’s lab after she tells him she’s run tests and simulations and her theory on how to bring back Frost works. No “show me the data,” no “let’s talk about this…”, just let me destroy all of your work and equipment by shooting off a bunch of lightning around your apartment.
I’m kind of excited to see just how horribly this goes wrong.

Why the Batgirl movie was axed
https://variety.com/2022/film/news/batgirl-movie-why-not-releasing-warner-bros-1235332062/
Crazy that taking a tax write off is seen as the way to make the most money back. I would imagine they would at least break even if they released it theatrically.

Saw Legion of Super-Pets with my daughter, and I really should have seen who one of the pets ended up with at the end coming. Spoilered just in case.
SpoilerOf course the squirrel named Chip ends up with their own Green Lantern suit.

I really hate fake trailers & rumor tweets. Just came across a bunch of stuff on Twitter relating to D23 announcements.

I'm gonna shoot my shot and say Kang is done by the end of Kang Dynasty, but the events of that movie causes an incursion for the main MCU timeline that leads into Secret Wars and that's the cameo heavy movie that will make Marvel nerds absolutely ruin their pants for 2-3 hours.
I'm also going to go out on a limb and say anything involving Battleworld absolutely 100% isn't going to happen.
I think we’re going to get the Hickman Battleworld controlled by Doom given everything we’ve seen. You’ve got a Reed trying to stop incursions, Dr. Strange dealing with the Multiverse (he helped Doom create Battleworld), and Fantastic Four coming up right before the last two Avengers movies.

Destin Daniel Creton - who directed Shang Chi - has been named as the director of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty
Didn’t they film Infinity War and Endgame back to back/together? I’m a little surprised they seem to be going with different directors, assuming that’s the case.
-
I’m wondering if they retain Kang being a descendent of Reed’s, ignore that, or mix it up by having it be a descendant of Doom. I can almost see it being the latter, especially going from Kang Dynasty to the presumably Doom-based Secret Wars.
-
I have no real reason to suspect this, but my dark horse for the new Black Panther is Okoye. She seems suspiciously absent/rarely featured in the trailer, and I can see them giving Danai Gurira the role over Letitia Wright.

So… Fantastic Four goes from being the end of Phase 4 to disappearing entirely? (Unless they’re saving a big announcement for the end.)

They apparently said during the panel that Spider-Man Freahman Year takes place before Captain America Civil War, which is… weird.

Hey @TheVileOne, are/were you at the animation panel?

“Hey guys, I think we should probably let the timeline run its course and erase Thawne from history, given that he’s a time traveling maniac hellbent on destroying our lives and who almost succeeded without us even realizing it.”
”WHAT THE FUCK BARRY YOU MONSTER!!!!!”
