What happened

Why it matters

"I'd love to make more She-Hulk." That's despite a poor reception from viewers, who collectively gave it just 32% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Common ground

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
