She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer

[MarkB]

I wasn’t trying to suggest that Love and Thunder was more of a Thor comic book movie than the previous Thor movies. Just that it is a movie that embraces its comic book format roots more than previous entries have. To me, it plays like a live action comic book. I haven’t read any Thor comics, so I can’t speak to its “faithfulness” in that regard.

It didn't seem much that way to me. If there was a Thor move that was comic-book-y, it was Ragnarok, with its vibrantly contrasting colour palette on Sakarr, hair-and-costume makeover for Thor, and iconic spiky-costumed knife-slinging villain tearing up Asgard. And it worked wonderfully, in all the ways Love and Thunder didn't.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree — or take it to the L&T thread so we don’t derail this one.

I am enjoying She-Hulk and watch it every week. Some thought about Episode 5:

--I liked how the episode forced Jennifer Walters to take ownership of her She-Hulk identity. Seeing the conflicting emotions on her face over her date that was very attracted to She-Hulk but had no interest in Jennifer was an interesting way to highlight the difficulties of having an alter ego.

--Titania was selling sham beauty products. I wondered if this was a subtle troll of Gwyneth Paltrow and goop. I snickered when Jen said "she's selling literal snake oil."

--Is the fashion designer Nikki hired supposed to be the MCU's Edna Mode?

--The helmet reveal at the end of the episode was a clear sign Daredevil will be appearing soon. It will be fascinating to see She-Hulk interact with the other major character in the Marvel Universe who is also a superhero-lawyer. They are very similar but also very different.

Comics Titania originated in Secret Wars, a 12-issue limited series where a nigh-omnipotent being from another universe had various heroes (Avenger, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Spider-Man) and villains fight one another on Battleworld, a planet the Beyonder made from parts of other worlds (including apparently a Denver suburb). It is notable for setting up a few things in continuity back in the day: most notably Spider-Man's black costume which eventually turned out to be a symbiote which then lead to the creation of Venom, but also the Thing taking a sabbatical from the FF and She-Hulk replacing him, Magneto first being identified as "heroic" (as the Beyonder placed him with the heroes rather than villains), the introduction of a new Spider-Woman, and Doctor Doom using local super-science to empower two regular women as Titania and Volcana.

Comics Titania is basically a mirror image of She-Hulk: originally a rather timid lady who gained super-strength and toughness (not to mention height and the Most Common Super-Power). So of course they become rivals. Comics Titania is also a long-time partner of The Absorbing Man, who showed up in Agents of SHIELD (which makes his MCU version have dubious canonicity).

And Volcana ended up dating the (possibly) most powerful being in the universe (besides the Beyonder) and something happened between Wasp and Magneto that I really don't want to think about (either what happened or how much the art was really not what the Distinguished Competition had going on in their mega-crossover).

I was waiting for "NO CAPES!"

I was waiting for "NO CAPES!"

Hee hee. I think She-Hulk would find a cape impractical and pretentious. She would agree with Edna's take.

She doesn't even wear pants.

She doesn't even wear pants.

Mmm and looks so good not doing it

OK so now I can see that they are slowly building up Titania as She-Hulk's nemesis, but who is it that wants a sample of her blood, and for what nefarious purpose do they want it?

If Josh turns out to be faking his interest in her because he's working for whoever wants her blood, I'm going to be a bit disappointed because that's getting to be a bit of a tired trope at this point.

No post-credit scene again - its seems they're gone

I enjoyed the wedding comedy, even if some of the stuff is a bit forced (like the shirt ironing scene)

Mr Immortal storyline was a bit iffy
I agree re Josh, it would be good if he's legitimately interested in Jen and not just another bad guy.

We get a lab so I'm still thinking Doctor Samuel Sterns is involved with seeking the blood sample (Sterns was taken to a SHIELD facility for further research)
