Fresh Take: She-Hulk Ep 1 - A Normal Amount of Rage Spoiler-Free Thoughts

 Available on Disney +

Thoughts

So right out of the gate, they set the tone that this series is going to be a comedy. One that is complete with fourth wall breaks. I don't know how other people will feel about the tone but I think it works for the character, as that's how she was in the comics in the late 90s and early 2000s. The majority of the episode we spend with Jennifer and Bruce Banner and I liked it, I think Tatiana Maslany and Mark Ruffalo have good chemistry together. They do make a tweak to her origin where in the comic she got a blood transfusion from Bruce here some of his blood got into her bloodstream after an accident. The episode does explain how Hulk's arm is healed and how he merged the facets of his personality into one (something I still don't think they should have done by the way) and the writers are able to make it make sense. The action and CG in the episode were pretty good too. There is a fight that happens that anybody who has cousins they are close with will probably like and completely understand. The episode is pretty short by Disney Plus MCU standards, it runs a little under forty minutes. The way the show appears to be set up they're going to be homages to those old-school lawyer shows of the 80s and 90s but in the Marvel Universe. 

I like how different each of the Marvel shows are, this one seems like it will be more of a straight-up comedy than any of the previous entries. I don't think that is exactly a bad thing, hopefully, they will be able to find a groove and stick to it. There was one thing in the episode that may turn some people off, I didn't have an issue with it but yall know how people are nowadays. Even if they agree with the message they get upset with the messenger. There is an old saying, "Truth like rain, don't care who it falls on." My personal opinion is that this series has the potential to just be a lot of fun. We already know that there will be a lot of cameos in the show and I am looking forward to those. There is also a post-credit scene in this episode where they talk about something about Captain America that was funny to me. Have you seen the first episode of She-Hulk? What did you think?
