Jen still can’t control when she turns, though. This way, we can literally jump right to the case. Some might balk and say this is a lazy shortcut for the series to take, but I assume the producers thought spending several episodes on Jen’s training might be a tad redundant after we spent so long watching Bruce deal with Hulk. In her Hulk form, she’s still just Jen, albeit with really big green muscles. RELATED: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episode 1: A Comedy That’s Rarely Funny “Why are you talking to me like I’m a stray horse,” Jen asks. She rages out, turns green, smashes the door, and looks like she’s gonna go nuts. Smart Hulk plops her in a machine designed to scare the sh*t out of her. “Those are, like, the baseline of any woman just existing,” Jen quips. “We just have to control when you turn,” Smart Hulk says. Luckily, he has a syllabus which just means the process will only take 15 years. Anyways, Smart Hulk says she has to learn how to control her powers before she can go out to the real world. Jen is mad about this? I can’t imagine anyone being upset with superpowers, but that’s just me. Problem is, she’s now a Hulk indefinitely. Luckily, Jen shares Bruce’s ability to handle game radiation - her blood even helps Bruce heal his arm. “No, there is more to it that I’m going to explain,” Smart Hulk says. “Lethal? As in I’m gonna die,” Jen exclaims. Speaking of which, Smart Hulk tells Jen that she received a lethal dose of gamma radiation. The character has basically become a comedy bit, but, I suppose, since so much of the MCU has morphed into a full-blown comedy franchise, it works. It always bummed me out that we never got to see Hulk be Hulk following his defeat at the beginning of Infinity War. Wakes up again. This time in a nice beach house where she finds “Smart Hulk” (“I don’t pick the names,” Bruce says) doing some work. She transforms into She-Hulk and immediately gets tackled by Hulk. Jen wakes up near a bar, goes inside, gets a makeover from some kind women, and then gets accosted by three no-good men. It looked like something out of Captain Marvel … maybe? What was that ship? Have we seen one of its kind before? I’m honestly asking because there are so many Marvel products that they all tend to blur together. Instantly, she transforms into She-Hulk and runs off. Crawls out of the wreckage to aid Bruce and watches as some of his blood drops into one of her wounds. Jen panics and drives the car off the road. Anyway, the duo is discussing Captain America (who is obviously a virgin) when an alien spacecraft drops in front of their vehicle. He’s in the sling we saw him wearing in Shang-Chi. “A few months ago,” Jen was hanging out with her cousin Bruce. Except, Jen breaks the fourth wall to tell us that she is indeed a Hulk and decides to tell us how she obtained the power so we can enjoy this “fun lawyer show.” Maybe even a cute nod to our man the Hulk. ![]() After some back and forth, Nikki tells Jen that if she loses the case she can just “Hulk out.” It’s a nonchalant remark. A man tries to give her advice and a paralegal named Nikki (Ginger Gonzaga) quickly shoves him out the door. The show starts with Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters preparing for a case. What Happens in She-Hulk Season 1 Episode 1 Okay, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: Season 1 Episode 1, titled “A Normal Amount of Rage.” Let’s do this. ![]() While She-Hulk was definitely not a character I ever expected/needed to see on the big or small screen, I’m genuinely curious to see if Marvel and the Mouse House can make this particular idea work. ![]() That’s the only reason I get excited about each new entry no matter how underwhelming the most recent installment was. My hope is that the studio will eventually right the ship and return to making quality products. RELATED: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episodes 1-4 Review: A Meta Miss The Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been one step above big-budget TV, but we rolled with it because the characters were likable and, at times, the stories took on epic levels of greatness - Winter Soldier and Infinity War, for example. ![]() Really, I don’t think there are many who expect these Marvel products to be truly great, despite what early reactions proclaim after every new release. They were great at it but have since fallen prey to quantity over quality. Except Marvel doesn’t make burgers, they make shows about ultra-powerful superheroes. Sure, it’s not the best thing available, but our mouths still water every time we pass by the golden arches. Marvel is a lot like McDonald’s at this point.
