The first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is the origin story we need for Tatiana Maslany's Jen Walters before we dive into "fun lawyer show."
The episode ends in explosive fashion, with Titania (Jameela Jamil) bursting through the walls of the courtroom just as Jen is starting to deliver her closing remarks, having decided to return to her life and rejecting the mantle of superhero. With more familiar faces from the MCU set to arrive in the coming weeks, including Wong (Benedict Wong), Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth) and of course Daredevil (Matt Murdock), it's just a matter of time before the lawyer show becomes the superhero show. But when she first gets them, she loses control on a group of men who follow her out of a bar and force their presence on her in the kind of terrifying moment too many of us are familiar with. As the three prepare to head to court, Jen hangs back for a moment and turns to address the audience directly and explain why exactly it is that Nikki made reference to Jen "hulking out" in court. While she's secluded on an island in Mexico with Bruce, who has reassumed his Smart Hulk form, she points out that mastery of her emotions — anger in particular — is something that comes far more naturally to her than it does to him. Dennis is a little less than helpful, claiming he should be the one to make the closing argument, while Nikki is far more encouraging.
A charming Tatiana Maslany makes us fall for Marvel's latest small-screen superhero.
To drive her point home, Jen goes from human to Hulk and back again with the ease of a woman unhooking her bra at the end of a long workday. As she’s tearing the place apart, Nikki crawls over to Jen and tells her that she needs to Hulk out to save the civilians around them. To the tune of “Fast (Motion)” by Saweetie, Bruce teaches her boulder-throwing, wardrobe tips (“spandex is your best friend”), and Hulk yoga. We then return to present-day Jen, who tells us she’s been able to keep her powers under wraps since, only coming out as a Hulk to Nikki and her family. (“Those are, like, the baseline of any woman just existing,” she deadpans.) He goes in hot with a wall of buzzing saw-blades, and Jen transforms, easily stopping the saws and tearing the door off. But Bruce insists she still needs to learn to control her transformations and master her powers. “Whoever did this to you does not care about...” one says, and they surround her in a cloud of makeup, hairspray, and goodwill, gifting her a fuzzy pink jacket and a pair of iridescent sandals. What’s more, he was able to use her blood to heal his arm and is now back in fighting shape. This is his Mexican hideaway, the place where, with the help of his old pal Tony, he figured out a way to combine violent Hulk and gentle Bruce into one guy. The rapport between the cousins—and between Maslany and Ruffalo—is immediately obvious as they gossip about everything from Jen’s habit of eating Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with chopsticks (product placement!) to whether Captain America died a virgin. Four women who are clearly having the night of their lives come in and immediately offer Jen the kind of support that you only find in women’s restrooms at midnight. She wakes up after dark in human form, barefoot and covered in dirt and blood, and stumbles into the bathroom of the hilariously named Ideal Sports Bar.

But hey, perhaps viewers who love network-style sitcoms and procedural shows will get more of a kick out of the whole thing, and perhaps She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will markedly improve after episode four. [Marvel](https://www.denofgeek.com/marvel/) MCU shows, the end credits shine brightly yet again, with the art giving us some good-humored context for Jen’s new life as She-Hulk. The later procedural stuff is also kinda interminable, with a succession of There are plenty of MCU connections in the first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and most of them are weaved in via Bruce filling in some Phase 3 gaps for us. She is able to control her Hulk situation a lot more easily, she is still basically herself when in Hulk form, and she has no intention of being a superhero. Episode one is different to the rest, and sticks to Jen’s origin story before the series becomes its true procedural self. Bruce references his origin story as Edward Norton and several moments in The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron while discussing how he was historically able to transition from Banner to the Hulk and back again. It’s not just that this vibe feels dated as all hell, it also speaks to how far behind the MCU is with female superhero representation that it feels the need to catch up in such a lazy and clichéd way. Not for nothing, that famous image of Oscar Isaac eating Cheetos with chopsticks also sprung to mind when Jen was praising the virtues of the technique with Bruce. The bulk of the premiere then focuses on Jen first learning to cope with her powers, and Bruce testing her limits. Some of the messaging in this show is as subtle as a boulder being thrown your way.

"Captain America FU—" And the scene cuts to black, because while Jen may break the fourth wall like Deadpool, this is still the MCU and nobody is allowed to actually swear.

She-Hulk was created by writer Stan Lee and artist John Buscema in 1980, and first appeared in The Savage She-Hulk No. Walters talked directly to the reader, breaking the "fourth wall" between characters and readers. [She-Hulk review for CNET](/culture/entertainment/she-hulk-attorney-at-law-review-marvels-latest-is-smart-but-underwhelming/), I noted the show's savagely smart streak, but, as I wrote there, I couldn't help feeling "it lacks the delicious chicanery of a proper legal drama, the rousing action of a sci-fi show or the heart of even other Marvel shows." In the Marvel comics, Walters is a lawyer who becomes She-Hulk after receiving an emergency blood transfusion from her cousin -- one Bruce Banner.
Marvel's latest show on Disney+ introduces Bruce Banner's cousin (and comedy) to the MCU. Here's what to read after you've turned green with laughter.
(Slott teases something called the Reckoning War in his She-Hulk comics; that wouldn’t come to fruition until the very end of his Fantastic Four run, earlier this year. The idea that She-Hulk would work in an office that specializes in superhuman legal cases comes from this mid-2000s series written by Dan Slott, who’d go on to make his name with an extensive run as Marvel’s primary Spider-Man writer. If there’s a breakthrough project for She-Hulk, it’s Sensational She-Hulk, a stealth reboot of the entire character that established her as a comedy hero.
For Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany), that query comes quite literally as she's gifted with the powers of a Hulk. To be a Hulk — like her cousin, Bruce Banner ...
Her new powers have made clear how unfairly she’s been treated, and now she has the ability to do something about it. Good for She-Hulk for being the first MCU superhero to use her powers for horniness. But her new success brings to light the way Jen has been continually overlooked and taught to undercut herself. One is about recognizing what you owe other people; the other is about recognizing what we owe ourselves. If given the choice to live a superhero’s life, she would ask if it offered health care (the Avengers famously do not). Perhaps I’m naive, but I’d hope that someone tuning into She-Hulk and wanting to enjoy it would know that cat-calling a woman on the street is not good behavior. In the first four episodes critics were given, there are plots in which Jen has to figure out the legal ramifications of supervillain parole or how to serve a cease and desist to unlicensed magic users. We’ll see how far Marvel wants to go in examining the sexist world She-Hulk pushes back against. That’s all not to mention the duty, and burden, of using his abilities to protect and save the defenseless. If someone threw out the idea of the endless, At the start, Jen is content in her circumscribed life. She’s proud of her work in the DA’s office.
Disney+'s "She-Hulk" with its first mid-credits scene of the season cracked the mystery of Captain America's sex life.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law episode 1 makes several references to Captain America, but does Chris Evans make a cameo in the new series?
Let us know in the comments! While we do not see Evans back on screen in the episode, we do see a photo of his Captain America which happens to be Jen’s cell phone wallpaper! Sure it would have been amazing to see him back in some way, but Evans has hinted that he’s finished with the character, and
The new Disney+ Marvel series She-Hulk just answered a question that has long plagued fans of Steve Rogers: Is Captain America a virgin?
“Captain America fu—” she yells, and then the screen cuts out because this is a PG show. [“America’s ass.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaoxsOs8ENg) “It’s just so sad. [The writers of Endgame have suggested as much.](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/avengers-endgame-writers-confirm-captain-america-fan-theory-1209241/) “Steve Rogers is not a virgin,” he says. “He lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the U.S.O. In the final minutes of that movie, Steve Rogers travels back in time to find young Peggy and live out the rest of his life with her. (That is, until he travels back in time to reunite with her at the end of Avengers: Endgame—but more on that later.) The two lock lips (again, gross), but let’s all hope and assume they never did more considering that Steve is probably her grand-uncle (gross!). “So he becomes Captain America, and from that moment on, a symbol of America, he is rushed to the frontlines. [Marvel Cinematic Universe’s self-seriousness](https://time.com/6171012/marvel-movies-shows-upcoming/). But, apparently, Jennifer and maybe even Bruce think Captain America is dead at the time of She-Hulk, which takes place post-Endgame. Sure, he flirts with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
The post-credits scene of She-Hulk episode 1 has Bruce Banner reveal something about Captain America's sex life to Jen Walters (Tatiana Maslany).
It’s the fact that Jen’s curiosity about this question exists just to get built up to a punchline, because haha, isn’t it funny that Captain America fucked? And it has nothing to do with the fact that the most popular Captain America ships are And if you’re wondering where they all went, apparently you’re the butt of the joke. [MCU is largely devoid of sex and romance](https://www.polygon.com/entertainment/22394564/marvel-cinematic-universe-kissing) (not that those two things have to go hand in hand, but typically in Hollywood, they do).

(I’ll forgive her, since he’s technically a real-life person in her world.) In fact, the two most popular MCU relationships on fanfiction hub Archive of Our Own center around Steve — with It’s the fact that Jen’s thirst is filtered through some weird value system about sex. It’s the fact that this girl gets no name or backstory or emotional connection. So instead of heartfelt, genuine-feeling relationships, we get other characters telling the audience what’s up with those same sarcastic zingers. But the episode’s post-credits scene reveals a drunken Jen rambling about how sad it is that Steve Rogers died without getting some. We get to hear about Peter Quill and Tony Stark’s conquests, but God forbid we get anything beyond the incredibly [awkward sex scene in Eternals.](https://www.theverge.com/22880740/eternals-sex-scene-disney-plus) It’s then, out of pity or perhaps because Jen seems too drunk to remember, that Bruce reveals Jen’s assumption is wrong.
She-Hulk's Disney+ show hinted that Jennifer Walters could be stronger than her cousin, Bruce Banner, in the MCU.
That means Hulk could end up with the edge still, even though it looks like She-Hulk is actually stronger than him onscreen. Based off this first episode of She-Hulk, it seems safe to say that Jen would probably win a de-Hulked fight with her cousin in the MCU too. Jen can also do the same, of course, but she does lack the scientific know-how that could come in handy. On top of that, Jen's already Bruce's match in training as well, which is pretty impressive considering that he has 15 years of experience on her. He-Hulk has long been considered as one of the strongest there is when it comes to the MCU. In fact, many fans would assume that his Hulk is actually the strongest because he's the original. In later movies, Hulk lost a fight against Tony Stark's Hulkbuster, which probably wouldn't happen in the comics, plus Thor and Thanos have both beaten him since too. She-Hulk's ability to control that rage for the most part is also what might hold her back in an all-out brawl between the two cousins. [She-Hulk's](https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a40871050/she-hulk-review-disney-plus/) origin story in the [MCU](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a28084501/mcu-release-order-marvel-movies/) shares a lot of parallels with the source material. Naturally, this makes Hulk green in more ways than one, and after it becomes obvious that Jen's not the novice he expected her to be, Bruce even admits his own jealousy. In the comics, she once defeated a Thanos copy which had all the same powers and strength as the original one. In the end, there's no clear winner, and the pair make up by fixing their broken bar to get drunk again.
The first episode of Marvel's 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' on Disney+ has a running bit of Jennifer Walters trying to figure out if Captain America had sex.
At the beginning of the episode, Bruce is being generally unhelpful to the investigation, which [can be seen in a clip](https://twitter.com/imdb/status/1557758865827155970?s=21&t=EFisysX2Sb5ZcEc653RRTw).

The post-credits scene for 'She-Hulk' Episode 1 answers the most important Steve Rogers-adjacent question: is Captain America a virgin?

She-Hulk attracted controversy ahead of release for its digital effects in trailers, but past that, happens to be an MCU show directed by, written by, ...
She-Hulk has a 90% critic score with 255 reviews in and 77% audience score, which isn’t great (it’s the lowest among MCU shows at the moment), but it’s not as intensive of a bombing run as what’s being shown on IMDB. So yes, as ever, this kind of review bombing is incredibly childish and stupid. I also thought the comedy and fourth wall-breaking worked, but I’m certainly curious to see more and how the show develops now that Jennifer is back in lawyer mode. And as I posted last time, here’s what this curve looks like for a “just okay” series like Falcon and the Winter Soldier that no one is bombing: Yes, more than a third of all reviews for She-Hulk are 1 star, which makes its current IMDB score 5.4 out of 10, the lowest of all the MCU series. Marvel is still at a 6.2 with 19.9% 1 star reviews, so it’s not like IMDB every really goes and tries to sort through these kinds of bombing campaigns. All I have to do is consult the last article I wrote about this, which shows what review bombing actually looks like, where it’s taking place on Marvel, and what has not happened to the same extent with other MCU series. In fact, this is actually worse than what happened with Ms. - Hawkeye – 1.5% - She-Hulk – 35.8% - Loki – 1.5%

The device breaks during the car crash, meaning that Banner reverts to his "Smart Hulk" form, although he uses Jennifer's blood to heal his broken arm — an injury sustained when he snapped his fingers while wearing the Infinity Gauntlet. In the She-Hulk pilot, he explains that the device helps him revert to human form while also healing the damage that he received to his arm when he wielded the Infinity Stones in Endgame. And given Banner's presence in She-Hulk, as well as the return of the Abomination (Tim Roth), it looks like the jade giant will continue to have a major influence on the MCU's future. This winds up being a moot point as Jennifer has more of a handle on her Hulk strength, even being able to change back and forth between forms at will. The first episode shows that transformation, with a car crash leading to Bruce's gamma-irradiated blood seeping into Jennifer's wounds and transforming her into the She-Hulk — but the rest of the episode also reveals more about how Bruce was able to merge his two separate personalities into one whole Hulk. The She-Hulk pilot expands further on this: during the five-year gap between Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Banner constructed a lab in Mexico with the help of Tony Stark.

“What is it to walk into a room as a 6-foot-7 woman and what is it to walk into a room as a 5-foot-2 woman? That stuff really helped to sync me into a different physicality.” She was amazing.” To achieve the largeness of the hulk character, Maslany had to work a bit differently, but in a way that she says really informed the character. So, the fun for me was in finding how she physically moves through space differently. The duality of the two bodies the character inhabits is a compelling facet of the series as well, says Maslany.
She-Hulk gets to the bottom of the Captain America virginity rumor, which has epitomized the lack of onscreen romance for Marvel superheroes.

In the new MCU show, Bruce Banner's cousin Jennifer Walters becomes a Hulk, but rather than be a superhero, she wants to keep being a lawyer.
The IRL actor and fictional Jen share a love of eating • Jen’s origin story is a bit different here than it is in the comics. This makes sense to me, and not in a #girlboss or “girls mature faster” or “backward and in heels” kind of way. In the post-credits scene, Jen fakes being drunk so she can get Bruce plastered and finally learn the dirty deets about Captain Rogers — who Bruce confirms hooked up with a girl on the USO tour back in the 1940s. Back in the present in Los Angeles, Jen is ready to nail her closing argument in the case against GLK&H. The third time she transforms, she retains her mind and memory and doesn’t need to be talked to like a wild animal. Eager to train the new green meanie in the family, Bruce assembles a binder of notes to help teach his cuz the ropes and determine what triggers her transformations. She is not super-adept at fighting, but there’s not a lot of finesse to smashing anyway. That prompts our hero to perceive us, turning to the camera and explaining that, as of a few months ago, she is a Hulk, NBD. Pac-Man situation.) One day after the events of Avengers: Endgame, Jen and Bruce are riding in a car together. This causes her to Hulk out and black out a second time. If you need a refresher on a decade of MCU history to make sense of the premiere, I’ve got you covered.
While the first episode dropped today, I've seen the first four, and found the story of Jen Walters/She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) pretty enjoyable and at times ...
Sure, it felt a bit fast and that lends to the ‘Mary Sue’ analysis, but I think it was more about expediency than anything. But I remain irritated that modern TV writers seem to think that creating a “strong female character” requires her to be constantly contrasted favorably against the men around her, instead of just existing as an interesting character in her own right. I’m not sold on the show yet but I’m not turned off, either. Some of the stuff that happens to the female characters in this show likely has happened to real women in the real world. I incorporated this into a story I was working on and my creative writing instructor told me it was too unbelievable to work in the context of my story. It just comes atop a pile of unnecessary baggage the show would be better off without. The CGI is fine and as the story progresses we get some interesting new conflicts and cameos. Instead of making us question inequality in the workplace or the dangers of misogyny, we’re given such outrageous examples that in the end we just feel detached from them. And while it may seem, at first blush, like Walters is a bit of a ‘Mary Sue’ in the series premiere—where she can do everything the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) had to spend over a decade learning in a day—we quickly learn that her troubles are far from over, and that her super-powers will lead to some setbacks as well. She may have put up with more annoying men but he’s a superhero almost definitionally angry all the time, whose rage is both his power and his curse. But it’s like that woman in the park telling her toddler she doesn’t love him. When I was younger, we were at zoo and I overheard a frustrated mother say to her young, misbehaving child, “I don’t love you anymore!” It was shocking and terrible, though almost certainly just a reaction from an exhausted and frazzled parent who (one hopes) regretted ever saying it (even if she meant it in that moment).
The 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' team — including Jessica Gao, Kat Coiro, Tatiana Maslany and Mark Ruffalo — break down the series' key relationships.
“As actors, they were bonding about all of these technical aspects that they have to deal with” in the motion capture suit, says Coiro. “He thinks somehow he’s going to mansplain what it is to be the Hulk to her, and she ends up teaching him just as much as he’s trying to teach her, if not more,” says Ruffalo. Because Jen’s origin story involves Banner, “She-Hulk” allows the genius scientist to show new sides of his life through his interactions with his cousin. And from the first episode, “She-Hulk” does not shy away from addressing how women like Jen live with constant pressure to control their rage and fear in a way that men like Banner do not have to. “In so many things, even when they have loving friends, someone’s stabbing someone in the back at some point, and it’s so unnecessary,” says Gonzaga. “There’s a real fun antagonism there.” And yet, when you present so differently, when you are suddenly green and gigantic and every eye in the room turns to you when you walk in through a door, you do modulate your personality.” And Gonzaga sidesteps the answer like a true MCU pro when questioned about whether Nikki has any secrets or powers of her own.

The argument between Jen and Bruce is basically a buildup to the obligatory fight scene. Anyway, Bruce confirms that Steve Rogers lost his virginity in 1943 to a girl on the USO tour. She's only pretending to be drunk, because the major benefit of Hulkdom is that pounding brews is all buzz and no barf. And so we're back to the trial. It's intriguing to see whether the arrival of a fellow Hulk brings out the conflict in Banner. We see a glimpse of this when Bruce smacks Jen off a cliff in a fit of jealousy, but I think that's meant to be funny (perhaps calling back to the " The episode is even called "A Normal Amount of Rage."

'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' finally answers the question of whether Captain America died a virgin — and Mark Ruffalo didn't warn Chris Evans about it.
"And I was like, 'You have the answer, and we can tell everyone?' And he was like, 'Yeah.' So this is Marvel canon. She loved how Jen is obsessed with Captain America's virginity because "it's the human side of him, the real side, the thing that she would [relate to]." "We didn't set out thinking that we were going to be able to answer it," Gao tells EW. In that vein of that question, there's a lot more Easter eggs like that throughout the season. But the actress admits she had no idea this was something Marvel fans have been wondering for years, adding, "I love that that's how everybody's thinking. "That's all the human stuff that we don't get to [usually see]," he says. But it turns out no one warned Captain America himself that a very personal piece of his history was about to be broadcast to the world. "What's great about this show is that we get to see them as just human beings and what their lives are and what those histories are. The cat's out of the bag." as the scene abruptly cuts, and now that piece of very vital information is cemented in the Marvel Cinematic Universe forever. An annoyed Bruce decides to put an end to her rambling by disclosing a shocking piece of information he's been sitting on for years: "Steve Rogers is not a virgin.

She-Hulk: Attorney At Law has smashed its way into homes across the nation with a strong first episode that highlights just how right the sitcom format was for Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) and her cousin Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo).

How did Bruce Banner make peace with the Hulk? This and other MCU mysteries were resolved in the series premiere of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
So it's only fitting that this series be the one to finally address one of the biggest ongoing MCU mysteries - is Steve Rogers still a virgin? He hooked up with a nice young woman in 1943, and for all we know he's had a healthy sex life ever since. [As Jen herself points out in the premiere](/articles/captain-americas-sex-life-discussed-in-new-she-hulk-clip), the movies create the impression Steve has always been too busy fighting the good fight to focus much on his personal life.

Unlike Bruce though, Jennifer is still able to switch between her human and Hulk selves naturally, as well as has the benefit of retaining her personality when she’s in She-Hulk form. First and foremost though, this is a She-Hulk show, and we need to see her be able to handle threats on her own. Fortunately, she was able to easily defeat Jameela Jamil’s Titania at the end of this episode, so this shouldn’t be an issue.

Given that Bruce's arms device was blinking after the car crash, it appears that it was either partially or completely damaged, thus explaining why he reverted to Hulk form. The origin story portion of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’s premiere episode, “A Normal Amount of Rage,” began with showing Bruce Banner on a road trip with his cousin, Jennifer Walters, played by Orphan Black's Tatiana Maslany. During the five-year gap between Thanos’ snap and the Mad Titan’s genocide being undone, Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce found a way to combine his intelligence and personality with Hulk’s physique, and Smart Hulk was born!

That same sling is in She-Hulk Episode 1, along with a device on his wrist that was revealed to be a regulator to prevent any spontaneous hulking.

In one memorable and oddly moving instance from Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz’s Mighty Thor, Creel even sits down at a diner with Thor himself to convince him to scare Titania straight, to stop her from giving up the law-abiding life and returning to prison. By the time of 1989’s Solo Avengers #14, a chastened Titania was forced to solemnly promise She-Hulk (on pain of thrashing) to go back to jail and leave her alone — a vow which, alas, MacPherran couldn’t quite keep. Titania was never quite able to shake off her childhood sense of mediocrity, and she needs to impress She-Hulk by proving she’s up to her standards. And the only way to do that is by proving that she’s strong enough to pound her into cement.

But as she’s about to give her closing argument for a career-making case, a woman suddenly bursts into the courtroom and begins destroying the place. Still, Bruce stresses to Jen that she can’t go back to the way things were before she became a Hulk.
TV review: Tatiana Maslany is a delight as Jennifer Walters, a striving lawyer who wakes one morning to discover she's now a 6ft 7in green menace.
Much like that magician’s stage act, She-Hulk’s plot and tone are all over the place — writer Jessica Gao has a background in wacky cartoons such as Rick and Morty — and the show is often happy merely to skate by on Maslany’s charm. It is instead a funny and audacious series that has some pointed comments about the position of women in the workplace but is, above all, a hoot.

At the end of the day, a few crappy special effects are hardly the end of the world. Marvel needs to start vaulting it – or find a better way to tell its stories. The fight between Hulk and She-Hulk towards the end of She-Hulk episode one isn’t just bad because of hurried CGI. But whereas traditional pre-streaming TV would find ways to adapt to the medium’s budgetary limitations – namely by scaling back set-pieces, reusing sets and locations, eschewing big-name actors, and settling for cheaper practical effects when required – She-Hulk instead tries to approximate the production value of Marvel’s blockbuster movies. You get the impression it’s a miracle the special effects end up remotely usable at all. “They’re a horrible client, and I’ve seen way too many colleagues break down after being overworked, while Marvel tightens the purse strings.” Many have rushed to defend the VFX houses that Marvel employs to implement its many special effects; they have argued that the blame falls squarely at Marvel’s feet.

How Jennifer Walters can go from feeble to Hulk in the blink of an eye—which barely helps her when she's faced with the law? In her comics catalog, Jennifer Walters never wanted to be a superhero, but she still wanted to spend her career helping people. As a superhero lawyer, is there not an obvious story here about how difficult it is to help people in this world when you are so defenseless yourself? We're sitting on a remote island in Episode One with Jen's cousin, [Bruce Banner](https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a40918575/she-hulk-mark-ruffalo-tatiana-maslany/) (Mark Ruffalo), who spends about a half hour learning that Jen is better at being the Hulk because she's a girl and not a boy.

He tries to follow a routine of the struggle and trauma by telling her to calm down because the shame he wields is terrified she will be uncontrollable. In contrast, Jen wants her old life back and even confesses, “I’ll never become like you” it felt a tad bit of foreshadowing that could lead to the mindset of Jen feeling at ease and content being She-Hulk due to the strength and spotlight it bears. And the balance of living as something you are not and hiding in fragments of shame felt like the episode’s antagonist. The screenplay illustrates the challenges of living as a woman in this day and age, most noticeable in the bar scene later on. However, the camera pans to show her office, which is clean and uncluttered, and her law degree is on the wall in the back, proudly displaying her qualifications. Perhaps She-Hulk‘s greatest strength is its ability to peel back to the humble illusion of being a hero and struggling to fit in.

And the confluence of these two modes has made Jennifer Walters into an extremely rare sight in pop culture: a highly feminine character who still gets to be incredibly smart, incredibly strong, incredibly confident, and incredibly funny. Slott’s series wasn’t exactly about the different ways women move through the world based on physical appearance or fame, but it was about Jen learning to feel proud of herself even when she wasn’t 7 feet tall and bench pressing a truck. And it’s the mixture of these two modes that the creators of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law chose for their series. Her first case was to prove that a corporation owed damages to an employee who was given superpowers in a laboratory accident. But in 1989, something would happen to her that would cement Jennifer Walters into the fundament of Marvel Comics forever. It would be the mid-2000s before another writer would come along and give her a new dominant mode: The superhero world’s foremost legal mind.

Jennifer Walters, the slight, mild-mannered criminal defense attorney who transformed into the Amazonian-proportioned (and scantily clad) She-Hulk when she got angry, would be the last new Marvel Comics superhero Lee would create for over a decade. Her origin — and first solo book, The Savage She-Hulk (issue 1 by Stan Lee and John Buscema, all other issues by David Anthony Kraft and Mike Vosburg) — was classic Marvel.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law not only brings a new female hero into the MCU, but it seems like it is on track to highlight the MCU’s flaws up until this point when it comes to dealing with female characters. [Hulk’s journey in the MCU](https://gamerant.com/incredible-hulk-fan-theory-movie-mcu/), fans assume that Walters is going through a similar scenario, where she is unable to control her anger. Wanda Maximoff finally got a standalone show with WandaVision, but the studio immediately decided to turn her into a villain in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. She goes on to highlight that if women do otherwise, they are often referred to as “emotional or difficult,” another comment on the Even in the more developed countries, the gender gap in the labor forces is still quite substantial, with many women leaving work after childbirth. However, when her cousin decides to run experiments on her in his hidden lab in Mexico, Walters proves that isn’t the case, and she is conscious every time she turns green. An independent woman is often viewed as a threat in society and the professional world. The reason behind this difference is the fact that she is a woman, which isn’t a comment on her physical strength or appearance, but rather highlights the struggles of women in the real world. Walters, on the other hand, seems to be more in control from the get go. Women are often asked to hold back or compromise their own feelings to ensure that those around them have the space to grow. “I think my boyfriend is here,” Walters says, a statement that many women have used in the real world to escape a harrowing situation.

“As actors, they were bonding about all of these technical aspects that they have to deal with” in the motion capture suit, says Coiro. “He thinks somehow he’s going to mansplain what it is to be the Hulk to her, and she ends up teaching him just as much as he’s trying to teach her, if not more,” says Ruffalo. And from the first episode, “She-Hulk” does not shy away from addressing how women like Jen live with constant pressure to control their rage and fear in a way that men like Banner do not have to. “What I love about our show is that we’re taking the time to really just turn the camera a little bit to the left and see what’s going on in [their] everyday life.” “In so many things, even when they have loving friends, someone’s stabbing someone in the back at some point, and it’s so unnecessary,” says Gonzaga. One of the things about the Disney+ series that struck Mark Ruffalo, quoting head writer Jessica Gao, is “how horny-forward [the story] is” compared to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he shares with a laugh.
