I'm sure the Hulk will factor into this series. It was the Hulk who transferred his blood to Jennifer Walters to save her life. But the result of the blood transfusion resulted in her becoming She-Hulk.

It will probably be like one of those court procedural shows. Jennifer Walters as a human while being a Lawyer on a case. Then becoming She-Hulk during the superhero moments. Sort of like Daredevil.

We'll probably see her as She-Hulk while in Court defending a client or something.

Took 'em long enough. It's a great way to tell Hulk stories without getting into trouble with Universal and all that mess.

This. I'm shocked that it took this long to get her into the MCU, it seemed like a natural workaround for the Universal deal.

I wonder if the show will tap into her fourth-wall-breaking tendencies from the comics, trying to catch some of that Deadpool hype.

Depends who owns him. Marvel can't do movies about Hulk, because, he partially belongs to Universal or something. Maybe some other characters associated with him are also not in Disney's hands.

Yeah, they just can't do solo Hulk movies without Universal involved since apparently they own the distribution rights to solo movies forever. TV, no problem. Incredible Hulk was fine because Marvel Studios was willing to work out a deal with Universal to share... since being bought by Disney, Disney is not OK with them doing that.

I'm not too optimistic about this. The showrunner, Dana Schwartz, is famously angry at men (among other things, that we all "need to take a deep breath"). Also, claims that "It seems impossible to overstate the cultural damage done by South Park." I'm sure she would be delightful company.

"Damage by South Park"? Satirical series doing damage? Hm, it is almost someone is fragile and can't accept being laughed upon...

Sadly, yes... and they're not really making any bones about it.

And the opportunity. Like, I've got nothing against She-Hulk and I think such a show would have been awesome a few years ago when it would have been agenda free by better minds... but particularly since they've decided they can't play ball with Universal and all... why not just make a kick-ass Hulk TV show with Ruffalo? You know, redeem him from the Endgame stuff.

It really can't be overstated how many people are all-in on anything and everything with an MCU label on it.

Yeeeeeah... It's fandom tribalism, and brand name loyalty.

I've seen it for both the DC and Marvel sides, though I think it's gotten worse over the years, and people are radicalized on it exactly like with politics. They refuse to see the movies/shows on a case-by-case basis, and just consume then adore everything on 'their side'.

I used to like the MCU...because I happened to think the movies were fun and entertaining. I was never like...foaming at the mouth over them, and when I found them flawed, I wasn't afraid to talk about them. I think the MCU is really bad now compared to, like, five years ago. DC isn't much better either, honestly, aside from some exceptions (same with Marvel, I suppose). I think both Disney and WB have no idea what they're doing with either franchise.

MCU shills: Hey look everybody! A new Marvel installment!

Literally everyone else: Nobody cares!

As far as I’m concerned, the MCU ended at “Endgame”. Nothing after that has impressed me so far, except “Spider-Man NWH” but only because Tobey Maguire was back and once again nailed it as Spider-Man.

This is similar to my feelings as well. But I live my lectures - haven't paid to see a Marvel flick I think since Endgame. Too many on-your-nose dumpster fire cliches (can you say the entire Black Widow flick), too many on-your-nose replacement agendas (Hawkeye, F&TWS) and too many hyped entries that were way underwhelming (Dr. Strange 2).

Actually the only 2 Marvel shows that I even sat through were Wandavision (which I thought was pretty good - and Monica Rambeau was an awesome standout in that one) and Falcon which went south when it preached across the 3rd wall that "America will never accept a black Captain America"... on a show.... being broadcast to America... literally about a black Captain America. So at that moment they lost my financial involvement for anything related to that pretty much now and forever.

How about that level of bull$#!( for the mouth-breathers to take in? A show about a black Captain America that roots itself in some mythically evil-America and lectures the viewers in the real world about a society not ready for a Black Captain America, ironically to a society in real life watching a show about a Black Captain America. F'n idiots. And the f'n idiots who watched it and went "yeah we changed things with our show! -barf-. It's like... the show is on the air. But lecturing you about how the concept itself couldn't be made or received in modern America. And you believe the lie and therefore actually cause a hate problem to an invisible enemy, and furthermore do it while giving the showrunners money for doing it.

She-Hulk hasn't lost me yet though. It looks entertaining and it's another character I've liked since probably around 1989 or so. So I'll check that one out until it jumps the shark with the now typical MCU agenda bull$#!(.

Well, I really do hope that it lives up to your expectations. But, and I really hate to say this, don’t get your hopes up. The Marvel today isn’t the same Marvel that we grew up with. It’s their Marvel. And don’t get me wrong, it started out great and it stayed that way up until “Captain Marvel” (blegh).

You know what? I ain’t gonna judge you. I wasn’t going to go see “Spider-Man NWH” until I knew for certain that Tobey would be in it and back in his old Spidey suit.

I'm hoping Disney doesn't do what they did with 20th Century Fox and try to buy them out just for the rights to the Hulk movies. Still surprises me how Paramount willing sold the movie rights of the Iron Man films to them.

Disney buying Universal? Wouldn't ever happen. But maybe buying away their exclusive rights to solo Hulk movies. Though I'm not even sure the legalese of what the language of the present deal between Universal and Marvel/Disney entails. Like, JUST solo Bruce Banner Hulk movies? Could they do a She-Hulk movie?

Even the Sony deal isn't clear to me. Is the nature of their deal with Marvel/Disney stopping them from doing ANY Spider-Man movie that isn't a Marvel-led one, while this is in play? Like, could they dump out a Spider-Gwen movie? Or a Miles movie, completely independent of Marvel, right now? Or what? What are the guidelines?

When the CGI of the main characters sucks balls, bring on the cameos.

Andrew NDB

Caught the first episode. It's mostly fine. It's fun. A couple of spots spend a little bit too much time pointing out how much better she is than Bruce Banner's Hulk, but it's not too much. Also some dialogue about how being a woman she could just be murdered at random, on the day to day... a little off-putting. Mutterings about man-splaining. The CGI didn't really bother me.

The origin change does seem awkward. She accidentally just got splashed with some of his blood in a car wreck and that's all it took? It's really hard to look at that creative decision as anything other than "We can't have a man saving her! Not in her origin!"

MsMarvelDuckie

08-19-2022, 08:44 AM

I kind of liked it, campiness and all. I knew exactly what I was in for when she broke 4th wall at the beginning. She's as much known for that as Deadpool, so it was only a small surprise to see it done here.

My only real beef was that her entire "origin" of powers felt a bit rushed (and felt too "easy"), and her smug showing up of Banner was a bit much. But otherwise, I found her fairly relatable, even though I thought she was a bit TOO impatient to get back to her life. She really should have taken his advice to take a bit more time to get used to the situation, not to mention needing to understand more about the physical and mental ramifications. I mostly want to know what was up with the Sa'kaaran ship that essentially just vanished, and why Banner built a fully stocked bar on a deserted beach in the middle of nowhere.

And then there was Jennifer's obsession with Cap's possible "v" status..... (I wondered that myself, but, um....)

I wasn't not entertained but... the episode went by quickly and not a lot really happened. She just did some soul searching and took the Blomsky case, that's it.

I'm not really in love with how they're rushing her origins. She JUST became She-Hulk, and she's seeing her family members for the first time at a dinner since that happened and her becoming the She-Hulk is like the last thing on any of their minds. How?

Kinda set up World War Hulk with Bruce in his lab heading back to Sakkar in that ship that caused the accident in Ep 1.

I guess so. And I guess that's so long to Bruce for the rest of She-Hulk. So much for him being a major supporting cast member.

Jen is taking Emil Blonksy 's case and they reference his underground fighting with Wong in Shang Chi. It happens after she agrees to take his case

It was interesting. Without that, his appearance in Shang Chi wouldn't make much sense. I'm assuming Wong sprung him out of confinement as some kind of "treatment" or something. Maybe Wong is like his spiritual guru and he's been whisking him away for years now on field trips like that.

Also Wolverine Easter Egg

If nothing else this means "yes, mutants have been around for a long time" in the MCU. Who knows, maybe we'll even get to meet the MCU Wolverine in 5 years or so, like after Marvel/Disney figures out if even the name "X-Men" is problematic or not.

Lol. What I meant is that is some old ass slang being thrown around today. I've never met a young person use "doll" unless it was an old timer and I mean old timer. Not that you should have been offended by someone complimenting you just in the word itself to do so.

Rednecks can't generally afford to live here. I live dead-center state and the property taxes alone on the house I live in are over ten grand a year. Although I do live in a rather "nice" area but this state is legendarily expensive. Nobody from a state like Delaware where the main attraction and local landmark is "That Hooters just over the bridge" could ever afford to move here. :lol:

I mean like way, way down south by Philly and such are some cheap and trashier areas but they're more of a mixed-ethnic population, not generally the type to have mullets. :trazz:

The redneck types are actually the ones who migrate out of NJ and down to the Carolinas, because it's cheaper down there than up here and they don't want to live around black people anymore.

Who we actually get coming here more of than anyone are people coming down from New York because it's cheaper here than up there and they'd rather commute four hours round-trip each day than spend two grand a month on a studio.

Point being, nobody comes up from the south to NJ, they almost always go in reverse, because the cost of living on the East Coast gets higher as you go North and cheaper as you go South. Also why so many people go to Florida to retire.

Galactus

08-29-2022, 07:30 AM

Yeah, and that would fit with the Young Avengers or whatever the hell they will call it. Then between She-Hulk and Hulk kid they can just phase out Banner entirely. Even Thor has a FAKE daughter now, too.

Skaar has never been a member of the Young Avengers...then again neither has Ms Marvel. Still I can't imagine they'd use Skaar in a Young Avengers movie or series as it would visually clash with Hulkling who is a more popular character and almost certainly going to be included.

We know they have wanted to do a World War Hulk movie but don't want to share the movie rights with Universal. It's possible Disney's lawyers have flexed their muscle and got a favourable deal for a Hulk movie. Personally I don't see how they can do a World War Hulk movie without a Planet Hulk movie first and they kinda already did that and Korg and Miek were appropriated by the Thor franchise. I suppose Skaar could and the other Warbound could take their place.

Rumor has it Universal loses Hulk Rights next June so they can announce WW Hulk at D23 this month

https://comicbookmovie.com/hulk/hulk-marvel-studios-may-finally-regain-the-jade-giants-theatrical-rights-from-universal-in-2023-a195294#gs.8kyen0

An eagle-eyed Redditor has unearthed an SEC filing from 2006 that notes, "Universal Studios has agreed to distribute Marvel’s film The Incredible Hulk and sequels on essentially the same terms as those on which Paramount has agreed to distribute the other films financed and produced under the film facility."

We knew all that, of course, but here's where things get interesting. "Paramount shall have the right to exercise its Paramount Distribution Rights with respect to each Picture," it reads, "for an initial period of 15 years commencing on the initial Theatrical Exhibition of such Picture (the 'Initial Distribution Term')."

Clearly, a 15-year deal was also made with Universe, and this means Marvel Studios could forge ahead with a Hulk movie next year (the distribution agreement would conclude in June).

No, no. Ragnarok was their "Planet Hulk". Planet Hulk and World War Hulk are two different things entirely, although World War Hulk was born of the Planet Hulk continuity.

On that note, "Planet Hulk" was easily one of the best Hulk stories of the past 30 years. World War Hulk, not so much.

Galactus

09-13-2022, 06:33 PM

Yes Planet Hulk and World War Hulk are two different stories. I'd say they are both good but the former is what I would say is good all round story whereas the latter is a good read if you're in the mood for lots of action and little else...figures that is what the MCU would want to adapt.

Still I have a hard time seeing how they can do World War Hulk without Planet Hulk setting it up. I imagine that maybe the first half of the movie would take place on Sakaar and be a do-over of the Planet Hulk story (hey if they can do it with Daredevil: Born Again they can do it with this) and then him returning to Earth for the second half

Plus are they willing to go back to actual Hulk and kick SoyHulk to the curb?

This has always been kind of weird argument to me. I know most people who criticise 'wokeness' in comics don't actually read them but Hulk and Banner merging and becoming the professor persona was a hugely popular thing in it's time and lasted a while. Reversing it pissed of Peter David that he never wants to touch the character again and many fans would argue it was a long time before anyone did anything good with the 'Hulk smash' version of the character that it wasn't really worth it. You would think that people would assume that the MCU is bringing in a version of the character that was popular with fans but nope apparently they feminizing the Hulk and deliberately ruining the character to promote a woke agenda.:roll:

If you genuinely don't like it there is no need to worry. The seeds are all in She-Hulk to show it will be reversed in the movies too. Jen pointing out that the reason she can control her transformations and is emotionally stable as a hulk suggests that Hulk's rage were not because of the Gamma accident it was due to Banner's anger, she even makes reference to his "repressed trauma". Really they missed a trick in Age of Ultron to to at least explore that a little but no harm in doing it now.

Weird that they were in such a hurry to rush through the origin... only to do a whole lot of nothing. And with such a hubbub about her representing Abomination/Blonsky... he hasn't even been seen in 3 episodes. That whole story arc is just dangling there. And even in this latest one, same old, same old. Every guy is a weirdo and one dimensional (every one, except Bruce, and even he wasn't exactly treated greatly) and her supporting cast isn't much different. The only one they're playing serious is the lawyer lady representing her and while they've let slip she has a kid... how much you wanna bet it's only a matter of time before we meet her wife? Oh, what a twist! Titania is a joke and constantly presented as a joke, though I suspect they'll somehow make her an ally by the end of this.

I'm hoping there's going to be an "oh sh**, the gears have changed" moment where the season becomes a whole other thing with some semblance of stakes and serious-ness (that would actually really impress me, and make me appreciate the episodes so far), but I'm not seeing it right now. Hopefully this wedding crap is the last f***ing around episode.

Leo656

09-23-2022, 01:07 AM

You may as well stop now. I don't watch the show, but I read about it, and some people I talk to apparently follow the show and its development pretty closely; apparently the people making it have been pretty clear the entire time that what the show is right now is what the show is going to be. It's not going to suddenly "switch gears", it's just an irreverent low-stakes goofball comedy show and that's entirely by design. People can like it or not but it is what it is. It's not supposed to be taken seriously or anything. It's just a bunch of 4th Wall-breaking stuff and wink-wink inside jokes and that's the entire point of it. That's literally all it was built to be. Not a stealth "Incredible Hulk" sequel, not a backdoor pilot for bringing in the X-Men or Galactus, nothing grand or ambitious as you seem to hope... it's JUST a goofy romp for its own sake.

Apparently it's very popular with people who like that sort of thing, which is apparently people who liked the comic. They knew who the audience was and they're apparently doing very well in pleasing that audience, while knowing before they started that that audience wasn't "everyone".

It's a Marvel product, so by default I don't watch it, but I'm guessing it's not for you either. May as well stop, it's not going to "get better" or become an entirely different show.

Andrew NDB

09-23-2022, 01:19 AM

I'm not saying you're wrong but mainly the reason I even mention "switching gears" is because I read some blip from the showrunner 2 days ago about that she "can't wait" until people see the last episodes because they're not ready for whats coming and how things will change up. Something to that effect. "More of the same" wouldn't be that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just that at this point.

The 25% different thing with Star Trek was only an edict because if it's 25% different then Secret Hideout/Bad Robot can get 100% licensing rights for whatever they do with it. It's not that they have to do that. I'm reasonably sure the only reason they changed Daredevil's costume in this show is to explain him into the gay designer subplot at the other end of the country from where he lives. He may not even be wearing this in Born Again. Apparently there's been talk he'll have the "DD" symbol on his costume, and that clearly isn't on his She-Hulk costume, so...

AquaParade

10-07-2022, 12:59 PM

I haven't watched the show but I watched the most recent episode with Daredevil and thought it was handled pretty well.

The action wasn't on par with the Netflix show, which is a tall ask, considering this isn't that show, but it was competent action and he was written great.

It really is nice to see Charlie Cox back in the role, even if I felt a little burned out on the Netflix series, due to the pacing.

As for the outfit, I think they should lean into the "ninja" look, which they've been doing in the recent comics. Say he needs more agility, because the armor does sort of make sense, but it's never looked that great to me in live-action.

She-Hulk Season 2 Gets Disappointing Update from Tatiana Maslany (https://thedirect.com/article/she-hulk-season-2-tatiana-maslany)
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law star Tatiana Maslany does not recommend fans hold out hope for a Season 2 of the Disney+ series.

Speaking during a Codenames LIVE! - The New Class stream, Maslany said she does not think fans should expect a Season 2, remarking (with a dash of humor) the show "blew [its] budget" with Season 1. Given this, she said that "Disney was like, 'No thanks:"

It's too bad it went in this direction too - She-Hulk is a great, fun-loving, upbeat character in the comics and the John Byrne She-Hulk book was a fan-favorite. Almost none of that translated to the screen in her show.

I've said before that the criticism of the MCU that it isn't faithful to the comics because they are not panel for panel recreations is kinda dumb. Compared to a lot of other comic book movies they are generally more faithful to the characters and stories than your average comic movie book franchise. That being said I've had this feeling for a while that The Kang Dynasty and World War Hulk don't seem to bare any resemblance to the stories they are based on and it's going to be an Age of Ultron situation were it's mostly an original story but they chose the name of an existing one because it sounded cool. In the case of WWH it we are just getting a plot were different Hulks have to fight each other...which could be fine. That has always seemed to be a natural place to put Jen in movies outside of a big Endgame-esque battle sequence with every character at the climax of Secret Wars.

What MCU movie (other than the example I gave you) was so altered from the story it was based on that it can be argued it's an adaption "in-name" only?

If the Fantastic Four film is a hit, get Jen back for a sequel based on Slott's Reckoning War, as it was Jen's big event in the comic that took 20 years to make

First, I talked about characters.
Second, Age of Ultron for one.

Again, I actually mostly dug She-Hulk for the most part. I would've just preferred they dial the "man hate" factor way back.

Like, the little things (beyond the larger things like how all the males on the show are horrible and caricatures). Like in her comic origin, Bruce Banner heroically saving her by giving her a blood transfusion. Nope, can't have that in 2023! Now his blood just sort of accidentally spills onto her wound.

That was the one I gave you for free but on better consideration I'm not sure it counts. As I said everyone on the creative end of that movie was open that they were not adapting Age of Ultron (which is for the best as few people liked that story) they just thought it made a cool name.

I'll give you an example of a character that was changed a lot in movie form: Taskmaster...but in the context of this conversation it seems what we're supposed to be mad at are changes to make things 'woke'. While TS was certainly very different I think even the people most obsessed with seeing woke everywhere would struggle to say MCU version was in any way woke.

Got any other examples?

Can you make an argument without asspull, goalpostmoving or gaslighting?
What with the lefties and necessity to constantly weasel their way through the conversation?
Its like a I am talking with sentient equivalent of slime.

Also, if it was not obvious from a context, I was talking about characters overall, whether "woke" or not.

How did I move the goal posts? I gave you an example of a character that was changed so much it could be reasonably be described that their MCU adaption as being "in-name only" and asked you to come up with more.

There's a few others we could name but this whole thread seemed to be revolve around deriding everything as woke if it's not to prove whether something is genuinely woke or not then why are we trying to come up with examples of this phenomenon at all? Particularly as the She-Hulk tv series was a fairly faithful adaption of the character.

Every time when I provided you an example, you immediately found a reason to say "but its different".

You either think, that receiving evidence of your own words is somehow bad look on you. Or you just incapable of being "wrong", even though there is nothing bad about it here.

I don't care about this thread, I care about this conversation.
And it was not only about being "woke".

And, AFAIK, a lot of people have said that She-Hulk has little to do with her runs in comic books. Sorta like Bayformers have little to do with a good Transformers works, even though they got all the ingredients.

You haven't provided me with any examples.

So perhaps you could give me some examples of the MCU differing from it's source material so egregiously that it can be described as being an adaption in-name only. There's clearly some but not that many and almost every time it seems it's to help make something fit better in the continuity they have established rather than some ulterior you seem to infer.

Well...they are wrong. Even the writer of one the character's most celebrated runs has praised it.

Is that amnesia? Or radio signal jamming?
Anyway, I provided you with an example, Age of Ultron, which somehow was not good enough, because, reasons.

Multiverse of Madness.
Also, just to remind you, I was talking largely about characters, not stories.

Dan Slott's biggest fan is Dan Slott. Dan Slott cheerleads Dan Slott so much that Dan thinks that Dan Slott cannot do any wrong at all. It's amazing that he grew enough to even be a paid writer when surrounded 100% by a team like that.

Dan Slott probably also loved Dan's Tony Stark Iron Man run. And so when Dan loves Dan's work, it doesn't matter when an entire fandom hated it.

During the production of that episode, “Rick and Morty” showrunner Dan Harmon cast Susan Sarandon as the family’s therapist, a character Gao had named Dr. Wong in the script. Gao crashed out over the casting of a white actor for this part. In 2018 this was a major transgression and as an act of contrition, Harmon did a podcast with Gao called “Whiting Wongs,” which is 40 hours of him apologizing and learning about racism.

Shesus, what a cuck. Maybe Roiland was beefing with Harmon wasn't about Roiland blowing off commitments and maybe it was about Harmon being an insufferable assclown to be around.
