    Shouldn't that be "Wongers"?

    Disney+ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Certainly, at one point in the comics, writer Peter David brought in the idea that Banner suffered from dissociative identity disorder, and all of the different "Hulks" were distinct personalities. Other writers had suggested that Bruce experienced abuse as a child, something that was hinted at...

    You're first error is thinking that she could instantly do everything that he could do "because she is female".

    I find that hard to believe. I'm sure such people had already decided that Captain Marvel ruined the MCU.

    Well, for one thing, if there's a second season, Tatiana Maslany will be surprised. She's been doing print interviews where she's said that she isn't sure if there will be a second season. To be honest, while I think an S2 is a good possibility, I also think her "moving up" to the movies is just...

    Disney+ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Quite right, except that while it's true that not everything published by Marvel is expected to be a part of the cohesive Marvel Universe (or Multiverse), very experimental stories of this nature have always been part of the Marvel Comics Universe. And the fans roll with them without batting an...

    Well, at the very least, you know how to type coherent sentences with a keyboard. Which is more than one can say about any random cat.

    So what happens when Deadpool becomes integrated into the MCU? Will he no longer be able to break the fourth wall? Will he no longer be able to act as if he knows he's just a character in a superhero movie? If that happens, Deadpool fans will -- quite understandably -- go beserk, because it'll...

    Why would they feel the need to do that? Marvel hasn't felt the need to do it in the comics. As has been mentioned several times She-Hulk, at one point, constantly broke the fourth wall, and as far as I know, they've never disavowed that run of stories, or written them off as just taking place...

    I think you missed the point of her discussion with K.E.V.I.N. This was a one-time deal, and K.E.V.I.N. has fixed the glitch that allowed all this to happen.

    My wife and I loved it. It's all really in the grand tradition of fourth-wall-breaking that the comics and TV did now and then. In the case of comics, it goes at least as far back as the early 40s with Charles Biro and Bob Wood inserting themselves into the stories in their Crime Does Not Pay...

    I haven't watched this yet, but I did read about it (I'm not a spoilerphobe). Here's a link to an article explaining some of the decision-making behind this episode. WARNING: DEFINITE SPOILERS AHEAD. The article assumes you've seen the episode. I've even put the link behind a spoiler tag, as...

    Disney+ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    In a way, it was very appropriate. In her fourth wall bit earlier, she mentioned that it seemed like a Big Twist was coming, and speculated on a couple of possibilities. I figured it wouldn't be either of those, but was likely to be something as big. So I wasn't surprised when it happened, but...

    Disney+ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    I disagree. From my perspective, the "main storyline" is Jen embracing her existence as She-Hulk. While she's come to see some advantages in her alter ego, she's still fighting for her desire to be Just Jen. If nothing else, it was what Bruce was really trying to teach her in the first episode...

    I have no idea what her native accent is. I'd never heard of her before this show.

    Oh, and I meant to add: "Is he the first super-powered human?"

    Consider Mr. Immortal. I mean, how does he know he's actually immortal? Is he centuries old? Millennia old? Has he been around long enough to know about the Eternals and the Celestials?

    I disagree. If anything, I think the comedic elements are a feint, and the "barely-drama" bits are indications of what's to come. The comedic elements are the trees, not the forest. It's like Thor: Ragnarock. Almost the entirety of Thor and Loki on Sakaar is played for laughs. The Grandmaster...

    While it may be played as lighthearted, I think you should temper your feeling that this is a "comedy". Do you think her getting attacked in the alley in a previous episode was meant to be funny, when a follow-up scene suggested it was part of a nefarious plot of some kind? And a similar scene...

    Disney+ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Why do you think it was intended to be funny? Personally, I think she should've walked away almost from the moment she first got there. On the other hand, it fits in with her turmoil about she's treated as She-Hulk vs. how she's treated as "Just Jen". The only moment I thought was questionable...

    Disney+ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    This was probably the weakest episode so far, but I'm still enjoying it immensely. I was a bit disheartened that Hornhead hasn't shown up yet, and the "B" plot about Mr. Immortal didn't work for me¹. But I did rather like the inner turmoil Jen is having with respect to the two halves of her...

    Well, I should specify that I'm not into modern comedies. I love comedies from the Golden Age of Hollywood. I find most modern comedies to be not very funny. There are exceptions.

    Disney+ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Because it looks dreadful. Sorry if this bothers anyone who likes it, but aside from the fact that I'm not generally into comedies, I never wanted to watch the original TV series, so passing on a movie based on it seems like the thing to do.

    Never saw Baywatch (it's not a film I would want to be caught dead watching, but that's me). Nor American Horror Story: Roanoke (or any of the other AHS seasons). The Newsroom I've watched, but I don't remember him in it. I'm sure that I've seen him in other things, but it was definitely Miracle...

    I was wondering what you were referring to, as "pre credits" to me means pre-opening credits, but I'm guessing you mean pre-closing credits. Interesting that this episode seemed to minimize the fourth-wall stuff. I dunno. The fact that he appeared here as a client of one of Jen's co-workers...

    They added Ms Marvel in Thor: Love and Thunder. The new addition in the She-Hulk openers has been Jane-Thor.
