It can get pretty complicated with all of the clones–make sure that you are soba when you watch it.
In the interest of fighting ignorance: What?
I had the same exact thought. I was sure it was Orphan Black until they showed it again. Apparently it was a parody of the college video of AOC dancing that Conservatives tried to “get” her with but fizzled because it just revealed they are joyless mooks.
I should point out that the only reason Jen Walters runs the Superhero practice at a major law firm is because can turn into She-Hulk. An attribute that has no bearing on her legal ability at all.
She should have “sniffed it out” during the discovery process. IRL, you don’t ambush the opposition in a court room. There are no surprise witnesses. Both sides know exactly what evidence is to be presented so they can gather facts to refute it.
I would think she is, given that her specialty is “superhero law”, which seems to touch on IP, product liability, property damage, and other aspects of the law which may happen to involve a superhero. But in a big firm like the one Jen works for, she wouldn’t be trying every case by herself with nothing but her paralegal/secretary friend to help her.
Also, typical of TV, they portray Jen Walters as a successful lawyer who always seems one case away from losing her job. That is to say, she has the massive office and personal assistant / paralegal (or whatever Nikki is), runs a division of the firm (a role typically reserved for someone at or close to “partner” level), and presumably would be making a salary of several hundred thousand a year. And yet seems to have no autonomy at work, little to no professional staffing assisting her, and she bumbles every case.
It’s not, she’s only doing that because she happened to get superpowers.
Yeah, what the duck indeed. I think I was trying to say taken. Ducking autocorrect.
Not to mention losing her house and having to move back in with her parents
Welcome to sitcoms.
To be fair the lawyer opposing her in Episode 1 who was supposed to be topflight, was doing an awful job too as I recall. Apparently all lawyers in the MCU are low quality
Even Murd Blurdock?
(Eta: wait, you specified MCU. Never mind.)
They were in the middle of the discovery process. The purpose of the hearing was to adjudicate a discovery request that Jennifer had made for the client list and that Murdock was resisting complying with.
Holy crap I love that ending. They went full Mel Brooks.
Nice tag too.
Even Slab Bulkhead made a fair number of legal blunders in his series, I think
Jen made a great point, though. The “real ending” would’ve been an epic fight scene or showdown so painfully by the numbers that it wouldn’t have surprised anybody whatsoever.
Absolutely nobody saw this coming, and so the episode succeeded by the metrics it set for itself.
Here’s hoping for a season 2 so some folks can get more screen time and questions can be answered!
From what I’ve read a second season is fairly likely.
Turns out, there might be something to this after all:
Well, only 1/3 of the Warriors Three: Fandral the Dashing, who was played by Josh Dallas in the original film, and then, subsequently, by Zachary Levi. Ray Stevenson played Volstagg, and Tadanobu Asano played Hogun, in Thor, Thor: The Dark World, and Thor: Ragnarok.
I was sort of hoping he wouldn’t take the job just because he’s seemed so grouchy in interviews and I can’t think another huge franchise would be what he’d want. Shrug
Maybe he just wants to continue his “rivalry” with Samuel L. Jackson as to who is the most bankable movie star of all time. For a while it was him, then it was Samuel Jackson, then it was him again and I think now it is Samuel Jackson because of endgame, so if he enters the MCU, then maybe it will be him again.
I don’t really believe this, but why not?
