This entry reviews the first four episodes of She-Hulk, the latest entry in the MCU, but the first one to truly feel like a Marvel comic book. No spoilers.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Superhero fatigue? Pfft. I\u2019ve lost count of how many Marvel Studios movies and shows there are, but <strong><em>She<\/em><\/strong>\u2013<strong><em>Hulk<\/em><\/strong> is the one I\u2019ve been waiting on. The show is charming, irreverent, silly, and self-confident. None of which has anything to do with my absolute adoration for it. Watching <em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> is the closest we\u2019ve come to reading a modern Marvel comic book, a universe where superheroes smashing into a courtroom is a mundane annoyance rather than a cataclysmic tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>The first episode is mostly set up but done with speed rather than reverence. Bruce Banner (<strong>Mark Ruffalo<\/strong>) and his previously un-mentioned cousin Jennifer Walters (<strong>Tatiana Maslany<\/strong>) are driving down the street, arguing whether Steve Rogers was a virgin before falling into the ice. A Sakaaran spacecraft suddenly <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears before them, spinning the car off the road. Since Bruce is wearing a prototype gamma-radiation regulator, he\u2019s de-Hulked and vulnerable. Wounded, his Hulk blood seeps into Jen\u2019s wound, and BOOM, She-Hulk arrives.<\/p>\n<p><em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> is not a series that wallows its runtime in an origin story. The only person who might be disappointed is Bruce. He spent the MCU\u2019s first four phases struggling to control the big guy within. After fifteen minutes as She-Hulk, Jen has it all figured out. As she tells her cousin, her time on this Earth as a woman has already made her an expert at managing anger. Dumb dudes provide endless practice every day. The result is a superbeing who doesn\u2019t require numerous sequels and spin-offs to control her ability. She\u2019s got this.<\/p>\n<p>Jen rejects Bruce\u2019s invitation into superherodom. She didn\u2019t spend her adulthood studying law merely to give up her time in the courtroom. There are enough Avengers and wannabe Avengers in the world that already devote their time to saving it. We don\u2019t need She-Hulk battling Thanos; we need Jen Walters fighting for the desperate people.<\/p>\n<p>However, the <em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> series will reveal that fighting in the courtroom may be more difficult for Jen now that she\u2019s got some gamma in her. With superbeings popping up on the reg, the average weakling on the street resents their presence. The super folk are starting to find themselves in trouble with the law and the public, and Jennifer Walters becomes their trusted ally.<\/p>\n<p>When Tony Stark declared himself Iron Man in 2008, the spandex battlefield hosted not even a handful of opponents and partners. Marvel Studios has already rummaged through the best bits of their toy chest, scraping the bottom. We\u2019re not talking about Moon Knight or Namor.\u00a0They\u2019re A-listers now. We\u2019re talking about Titania (<strong>Jameela Jamil<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>The backgrounds in <em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> are crowded with guest stars and cameos. Jennifer Walters\u2019 Los Angeles is swarming with <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> experiments gone wrong and alien invaders. If Howard the Duck were to walk into Jennifer\u2019s office, her cohorts wouldn\u2019t bat an eye, and neither would those watching the show. The MCU has finally reached a point where gods and demigods standing in line at Starbucks is no big deal. With such banality, Marvel Studios can cut loose and have a good time. Not every story should feature a bright blue beam of light in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> series owes its vibe to two particular comic book runs:\u00a0<strong>John Byrne<\/strong>\u2018s 80s action comedy and <strong>Dan Slott<\/strong>\u2018s early aughts sitcom sidequest. From John Byrne, <em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> gets its fourth-wall breaks and savage satire. From Dan Slott, <em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> gets its \u201cLawyer Show!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout She-Hulk\u2019s comic book continuity, Jennifer Walters\u2019 has faced the usual world-ending disasters. She can go toe-to-toe with her cousin, no problem. For the most part, the superhero movie community traffics in fisticuffs and apocalypses, but superhero comics frequently slip into other genres. She-Hulk is at her best when tackling the absurdity of her situation and the even crazier planet she inhabits. With Byrne and Slott, She-Hulk is a delight, and that\u2019s the vibe the series\u2019 head writer\u00a0<strong>Jessica Gao<\/strong> is chasing.<\/p>\n<p>Those seeking ultra-serious bouts between titans need to look elsewhere or prepare themselves to examine their favorite characters through a lighter lens. If you don\u2019t want to laugh at the Abomination (<strong>Tim Roth<\/strong>) or discover the TV habits of Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme (<strong>Benedict Wong<\/strong>), you could recoil from what Gao and her team are dishing. No grumps allowed on Disney+ this week.<\/p>\n<p>Yes,<em> She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> delivers a few mocking jabs at \u201cSmart Hulk\u201d\/Bruce Banner, but tucked in those jabs are sorrowful pokes too. We catch a glimpse of what Bruce and Tony Stark were doing during the Blip, and we witness the hurt still present in Bruce due to Tony\u2019s absence. <em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> bestows a more whimsical side to the superhero struggle, but the struggle remains.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty years after Sam Raimi\u2019s <em>Spider<\/em>\u2013<em>Man\u00a0<\/em>(which I\u2019m retroactively considering as the start of the MCU), movie audiences are as well-versed in the superhero experience as comic book readers. We\u2019re ready for stories and tones beyond the kicking, punching, and blue beams of light. Through superhero extremity, storytellers can capture the intense emotional heights we all encounter during the day-to-day in the same but different fashion that the best horror movies so expertly accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em>, Jennifer Walters has found herself in a hell that has become painfully ordinary for those around her. To her colleagues, onlookers, and strangers, she\u2019s just another Howard the Duck. For us watching, she is us, navigating the ridiculous obstacles ignorant jerks seem damn determined to plant in our way. We\u2019re all experts in rage these days, but we could use a few more heroes to follow in terms of regulating and weaponizing such anger. She-Hulk is every bit the model as Superman, probably more so.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><em>She<\/em>\u2013<em>Hulk<\/em> Episode 1 is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyplus.com\/series\/she-hulk-attorney-at-law\/gPwaYusKqRQh\">now streaming on Disney+<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<pre><code>    Related Topics: Marvel Explained, Marvel Studios\n    &lt;!-- AUTHOR BOX --&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"gray-bg p-4 border small mb-5\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center text-md-center\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/brad.jpg\" class=\"circle img-fluid\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md\">\n            Brad Gullickson is a Weekly Columnist for Film School Rejects and Senior Curator for One Perfect Shot.
