Spider-Girl lasted for 100 issues (1998-2006), but yeah, not many Marvel superheroine ongoing series lasted as long as The Sensational She-Hulk, which ran for 60 issues from 1989-1994. Not even superheroines such as Storm, Scarlet Witch, and Black Widow went on to stack up volumes that big.

Not sure how many here are enthusiasts of video essays, but I thought this one really analyzed She-Hulk's current situation very well:
Not sure if I've brought this up before but Ewing had an interesting explanation of She-Hulk's current state in a recent issue of IH.
Basically, Doc Samson notes that almost every Hulk that gets his gamma FROM Bruce seems to develop something similar to his Savage persona. It not only carried the green and muscly factors but a little bit of his most famous incarnation as well.

Well if that’s the rationale in giving She-Hulk a “big-muscled caveman brute” persona like how Bruce was in his earliest days, then I suppose that explains it, but I don’t think it justifies pushing away the more free-spirited Jennifer who loved being herself. Even Peter David moved away from the caveman persona and wrote a personality that I think had stronger legs to stand on.
I have no problems with the current She-Hulk. Well I guess my only problem is that she doesn’t have a solo book anymore.
I loved all of her solo books throughout the 2020s and I like the way the character has been dealt with in dealing with Bruce’s passing and the effect that had on her up to her more current stories in Avengers.
Possible the Savage She-Hulk character an inspiration of how a woman will look like when wielding Mjölnir in Thor Love and Thunder?

Hmm, I don't really care what she looks like. I always thought she should be more muscular, but my favorite look for the character is still her original which had her pretty slim and with a strong Wild Women of Wongo vibe...
I'm probably a minority who actually enjoyed her first series as much as anything that came after, despite it being intensely moody, dramatic and heavy on the, "can't...turn...into...She-Hulk...no-matter-what" *proceeds to turns into She-Hulk* plot narrative.
That being said, what she is now is just boring to me. Doesn't help I was never a fan of Hulk when it was just Savage Hulk, and turning Jen into, hmmm, for lack of a better term, "Savage-Hulk-lite" feels like an unoriginal regression of the character.
With characters that have been around this long, when it comes time to evolve them you should look to the past for inspiration and branch out from there. If they wanted to make Jen a "Savage Hulk", they should have build on the old-school Savage She-Hulk and not copy/paste the already over-played Savage Hulk... Wasted potential to bring back a character I liked.
