Is She-Hulk too Woke? and Why you shouldn't miss Prey #41

This week we explore everything wrong with She Hulk and Marvels' continuous character assassination of Hulk with each iteration. Despite what She Hulk effectively stood for in the comics, Marvel failed to capture the complexity of the character and created a 'failed' feminist icon... Is She Hulk too woke? or are we just tired of the unlimited stream of Marvel Content? Nevertheless, Disney Plus got it right with ‘Prey'. An action packed, gory thrill seeker with a strong female lead, who actually earned it! We explore the exciting new thriller featuring the iconic ’Predator'. It's got to be the best Predator film that has graced our screen as of yet. What do you think? Oh and there's also some Kanye stuff...
