She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

Yeah, that is always going to be an issue when you take a character from a grim dark show and shove it into a comedy. I thought it worked fine.

Dont think it deserves its own thread cause its a one-off…so ill just say here, Werewolf By Night was a lot of fun

My only quibble was my brain kept saying, “Oh the leads are Jessica Jones and Moon Knight.”

Dumb brain.

Back to She-Hulk.

Can’t agree more! It was perfectly Marvel and Halloween-y!

I would agree. More cheery, but still the same Matt Murdock from Netflix. Plus all the interactions between Murdock/Daredevil and Walters/She-Hulk were a lot of fun.

It just occurred to me that other than references to Tony Stark’s pre-Pepper Potts romantic life, I think She Hulk is the only MCU show or film where characters are ever shown to have sex.

Wow, people really did forget Eternals existed. :smile:

That was on purpose.

Wasn’t there plenty of sex in the Netflix marvel shows? Or are we not counting those?

Forget what existed?

Peter Quill has a red-skinned lady friend on his ship at the beginning of GotG 1.

We all forgot she was there.

Review bombers let up this week.
Apparently Dare Devil appearances was too much for most of the trolls.

Don’t forget Ego and Quill’s mom.

Just watched this episode and thought it was great. Daredevil was great too. I really liked the Netflix series but this Daredevil was much more acrobatic than Netflix, which I think is a huge part of his character that was sorely lacking. I thought the CGI was fine too, not perfect but still solid. The tone of this show is great and the interplay between Jen/Matt Shulk/DD was very good.

I appreciate the half hour format for a change but I do think some episodes feel a TAD rushed. Once you chop off the recap, intro credits and end credits each episode is only like 20 min of story. In any case I quite like this show.

Does Deadpool count?

Jessica Jones and Luke Cage got it on. She also hooked up with a dude in a bar. There may be others I’m forgetting.

She even said “snikt,” which is the typical sound effect for when he pops his claws.

I read an article that says that the blew it by doing that. The first reference to Wolverine in She-Hulk only said that a guy with metal claws was cage-fighting. They never identified him, so how could her assistant know what his claws sound like?

To me, it can handwaved away by saying that, in her mind, it seems like the obvious sound claws would make. Too many people are just looking for things to criticize.

Boy, Jen sorta crapped the bed legally here, didn’t she? IANAL, but I suspect that a real lawyer would never let a product-liability case get anywhere near a courtroom without first determining that her client had used the product according to the manufacturer’s specifications. That’s really not the sort of thing that she should first learn from opposing counsel’s questions.

She may have done the best she could, but her client lied (or was ignorant of his violation) and, unlike Murdock, she didn’t have the nose to sniff it out.

Do people specialize in product liability? I know it’s playing fast and loose with the law, but is she being asked to do a wider range of cases than might be usual for someone at a big firm?

Maybe, but I can’t see why he wouldn’t then lie in court. He wasn’t then on the stand and under oath - he was sitting at his counsel’s table. (Which is maybe another instance of the show not caring too much about realism - is a defense lawyer permitted to question a plaintiff outside of direct examination?)

In any case, finding out the basic facts of a case seems like just about the very first thing an attorney should do before taking a case.

Yeah, I was wondering exactly what sort of law Jen practices. She came from a D.A.'s office, so obviously knows criminal law. Which is why it made sense for her first case to be a parole hearing for a felon. But then we’ve seen her in a product liability case, and Wong’s lawsuit, the legal basis of which is never really clear (some sort of tort?) Feels like her firm is just willy-nilly shovelling anything that has to do with superheroes, however tangentially, to her.

I know, I know, it’s just a TV show…
