In its finale, SheHulk takes things to an even more meta level. Our (spoiler!) review:

With so many plot points to juggle going into the finale of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, it was anyone's guess how that would get wrapped up in a satisfying fashion, especially with — as of right now — no news of a Season 2 on the horizon, and only a standard 35-minute runtime. Though events did build to a natural conclusion, the very meta legal comedy took things to an even more meta level, not so much breaking the fourth wall as Hulk smashing it. But did it work? Sort of.

In typical sitcom fashion, our two plots collide as it turns out the lodge hosting the event is on Blonsky's property, and Blonsky — in Abomination form — has been invited as a guest speaker. I wasn't prepared for how upset I would be thinking Blonsky actually agreed with the Intelligencia bros, though to his credit it seemed like he wasn't totally clear on their ethos, thinking they just needed a motivational speaker.

With so little time to wrap up the plot, I found myself getting frustrated with the extended digression into the "real" world outside the show. Objectively, I understand this is a logical leap for a show entirely about breaking the fourth wall to make. From a writer's standpoint, if you want to heighten both the stakes and the joke, that is certainly an effective way to do it.
