She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer

That’s why the Damage Control guys are there, pointing guns at her. Hell, their quick response suggests they were already there just in case. They’ve undoubtedly been waiting for her to go into a Hulk rage like Bruce used to do.

I think that implies someone told Damage Control there was going to be a problem ahead of time - Intelligensia using Damage Control to do their dirty work for them, likely hoping they will shoot first and ask questions later when someone big and green gets justifiably angry.

Agreed
 


You left off the bit where, overall, we see Daredevil as badass and edgy. Overall, we accept violent expression of male anger.
Maybe particularly because he doesn't let go and he doesn't stop himself, at least not until he (and we as audience) has some catharisis.
Jen still hasn't hadn't reach that catharsis moment. She stops herself before she can get there. Or at least the episode stops...

I didnt get badass and edgy from that DD scene, just shocking and brutal, the way Kingpin, on his knees, surrendered to leting the beating happen while Vanessa is there watching was hard to watch and made DD less a hero and more a man obsessed - a true devil

I can see the powerful woman gone mad concern with Jen, but have to also accept that this is a hulk story and in the context of the first episode Savage She-Hulk going into a rage is a thing that the normal people of the MCU still need to be wary of. The MCU has looked at the downside of Superheroism (Wanda, John Walker) so had potential to go there with Jen too
 

Basically, it's important to draw a distinction between "hulking out" and just getting pissed off. What Jen did to the monitors was how she'd have reacted whether she had powers or not, except that without them she'd have had to resort to throwing a chair or a mic stand.

The problem is that people who don't like her - like Intelligencia - can spin it differently because of both the superpowers factor and the usual societal double-standards. The irony of real-life people doing exactly what that in-world organisation will be doing will no doubt be lost upon them.

Okay, let me try it this way - take yourself out of the equation for a minute. I'm not actually taking about you, personally, because I don't know you from Adam. I'm referring to general public approach to anger in men and in women.

Is the general perception of Daredevil "shocking and brutal" now? Despite how many scenes of incredibly brutal violence in his shows?
