She Hulk trailer reaction (continued) (Patreon)

As for the rest of the trailer-- I'd say they've nailed the character as she has been portrayed in comics over the last twenty years. It's all there-superhuman law, acerbic humour. It's not a huge surprise that the tone looks to be very Sex in the City/Bridget Jones orientated. I've got mixed feelings about that--I think it's an appropriate beat for the series, but it'll be hard for it not to sink into cliche and well- worn tropes. If the show can come up with a new angle on dating disasters and lovelife woes that's funny, then I'm all for it.
It looks like there's going to be plenty of old fashioned ass-kicking inbetween the melodrama, though! Tinder won't be the only thing that's getting swiped right. We caught a brief glimpse of Titania who looks to be in some kind of powered-up suit (I guess she might be getting supersized in later episodes). It's also very exciting to see Tim Roth back as Emil Blonsky/The Abomination. The cameo in Shang Chi was great, although he appeared to be tight with Wong, indicating that he's no longer a baddie? Hopefully She-Hulk will get to the bottom of what all that is about. Intriguing to see if the rumoured guest appearances from Charlie Cox and Kristen Ritter as Daredevil and Jessica Jones pan out, too. Always good to see Mark Ruffalo as Professor Hulk too. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the origin story-is Jen still going to be shot by mobsters? There was a brief glimpse of a character who looked very Buck Bukowski there at the beginning, which is someone I never expected to see turn up in the MCU!

I'm excited for it, definitely. A lot more now that I've seen the trailer! It's taken so long to get here that I was starting to think it might never happen. I've heard a lot of negative reaction to it, and it's quite interesting--also depressing-to see that the divisive discourse which usually accompanies She-Hulk whenever she has a comic out has spilled into mainstream discourse. I've come across endless twitter threads from people arguing about the same old stuff:"she should have bigger muscles! Smaller! She should be funny! The tone should be more serious!" Etc, etc. What did you guys think?
