In this week’s episode of She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law, Jennifer Walters considers whether she wants to take on the case of representing Emil Blonsky, better known to Marvel fans as Abomination, one of the Hulk’s major enemies. Before she takes the case, though, Jen calls up her cousin Bruce, and the two address a question of identity that reaches all the way back to the beginnings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Mark Ruffalo offered up his thoughts on the scene while speaking to Entertainment Weekly. Very minor spoilers for She-Hulk episode 2 follow.
When Jen calls up Bruce, the two get to talking about Blonsky and what happened between him and Bruce. Bruce acknowledges that it’s been a long time and that the two have even since corresponded via letter and haiku. Bruce, holding a tiny phone in his Hulk form, says that everything is fine. “That fight was so many years ago, I’m a completely different person now–literally.”
Jen stares down the camera lens, breaking the fourth wall.
