We already did, didn’t we? Wasn’t she up against ‘GLK&H’ in the court case interrupted by Titania?
Was she? I missed that, but I’ll take your word for it.
She does. I didn’t recognize the reference but do remember it standing out because “GLK&H” was such an unwieldy mouthful that it seemed like awkward writing.
Their interactions are rather familiar, as if they know each other well, which isn’t always the case with cousins. I think she would know most of the broad strokes of his story and somethings in depth.
I’d prefer to assume she doesn’t know about that (or that it didn’t happen to this version of the Hulk) because otherwise, it makes her a giant asshole for her, “I know infinitely more about controlling my anger,” line.
I was OK with it, but I thought there was too much unnecessary Bruce vs Jen fighting, and the discussion of Steve Rogers’ sex life was completely gratuitous. (Perhaps I’ll be proven wrong and there will be a Rogers paternity suit for her to deal with.)
I’m happy because I’ve been arguing that Cap definitely hooked up on the USO tour for a long time, and I’m finally vindicated.
We enjoyed it! My wife and I think it will be fun.
I have read a few trades of the mid 2000s run, and it does seem like some of it is from there. If they get rid of the libido thing for being on D+, I’m fine with that.
I agree that the CGI did sometimes go uncanny valley for me but overall was fine. How about, for me, it didn’t detract from the story.
I can get behind they went fast in this one but I agree with @AlsoNamedBort that I’m glad it was in the front, not at the end. Most of the time when that happens, if the story has been good, I don’t need the origin anymore.
@Miller, I appreciate the comic background but I haven’t seen any of that in MCU Hulk. Glad to be proven wrong. They only did the suicide and being on the run in the movies. I’m not the biggest fan but I never knew those things about his childhood.
As for myself, I agree with Jen being able to control her anger because women, as a general rule, have to deal with that stuff. Sure, it might have been nice to show she already did some yoga/zen/meditaton thingy but this still worked for me.
My only problem is not being able to binge it!
Thanks!
Enough bad things have happened on screen to this version of the Hulk that it does so for her line anyway. Their discussions in the car and at his “compound” are enough to make it clear she knows about them.
I understand why the writers included it. It’s a necessary sentiment, both in the show and IRL, but the execution sucked.
Did you miss the time when he was a slave for years? Or when he saw a whole planet explode. Or when Thanos beat him so badly, Hulk was scared to come out? Or when he lost a women he was in love with? Or ruined his arm?
@AK84 Oof, I did forget about those. I sit corrected. Thanks!
I would happily have traded the dumb Is Steve Rogers a virgin nonsense for more about her libido. But somehow it’s more family friendly to have stupid virgin jokes.
This is pretty much me: if the storytelling engages me, I don’t give a fuck about the CGI. Only one episode in but, so far, so good.
Based on my impression of the trailers, it seems like the lore that this series is going to pull most heavily from is the Dan Slott run in the comics, which happens to be my favorite She-Hulk run, so I’m super-hyped.
I swear that whole Steve Rogers = virgin theory is something straight out of a reddit post, down to the explanation of the timeline.
I saw it more like a boilerplate ComiCon question. It’s possible that I don’t spend enough time on reddit?
Just reddit?
PS: there is a post credit scene, and there will be one in every episode. Apparently of the silly variety, not the move the plot forward or tease what’s next type.
A courier ship from Sakaar only seems important to us because we don’t have interstellar travel IRL. For Bruce, he made it seem about as routine as a courier ship from FedEx. For all we know, it’s just there to return all his gladiator shit from Thor Ragnarok.
I’m sure it will take the form of the standard 30-something single female lawyer tropes the rest of the show is largely based around.
A thought about Bruce vs. Jen: he grew up angry, and she grew up with anger. He just assumes that anyone who gets Hulked will be an “enormous green rage-monster” because that’s all he knows-he’s been repressing and trying to avoid his anger for years because he can’t afford to face it. There are no super-therapists. And the “other guy” and the related trauma are in his thoughts so much that he always starts from a wrong supposition.
The part where his blood drips into her arm felt clunky in execution. I get that it’s better than a blood transfusion like in the comics, just the way they pulled it off felt unnatural in the staging.
Ah! There’s also Doc Samson who I somehow forgot about.
