There’s been plenty of discussions about She-Hulk: Attorney At Law long before the show’s premiere on Disney+, from the fourth-wall breaking, to plenty of action between the Hulk cousins, to the surprise reveal that Daredevil will be on the show, to even the quality of the CGI on Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) when she’s in Hulk form. Having seen the first four episodes of She-Hulk, however, it can confidently be said that this is a good show. There is some very bumpy road along the way, though.
To put it plainly, the first episode of She-Hulk isn’t very good. It’s a jarring flashback to her origin story that goes on way too long, hitting the same beats–a woman can be just as strong or even stronger than a man–over and over again. While this is a great and welcome message and shows just how mighty She-Hulk is, even early in her Hulking career, the series went back to the well a few too many times to hit that one on the head.
From there, though, the first four episodes of She-Hulk that were provided for review became a very engaging and entertaining legal comedy with an MCU twist. It centers around Jennifer Walters, who got some of her cousin Bruce Banner’s blood mixed in with hers, meaning she also turns into a green rage monster. However, the rage isn’t exactly there because, like Avengers: Endgame’s Smart Hulk she can control her powers right out of the gate. Oh yeah, and she’s a lawyer–something she’s far more interested than being a superhero or an Avenger.
