Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law brings ‘feminist undertones’ to the Marvel universe in a funny and self-aware adaptation of the comics
- Starring Tatiana Maslany, She-Hulk is a faithful adaptation of the comic series that tackles the ‘overemotional female’ stereotype, without feeling prescriptive
- Sentient quips and subtle humour lend a light-hearted tone to protagonist Jen Walters’ navigation through big personal change – making up for at-times bad CGI
It’s easy to lose track of everything that’s going on in the Marvel universe, with countless superhero movies and shows out there that are often linked through recurring characters and interweaving storylines.
Tatiana Maslany, who plays the lead in She-Hulk: Attorney at law, knows the problem well, saying she was glad that Marvel producer Kevin Feige didn’t probe her knowledge too much.
“He, gratefully, didn’t ask me to watch everything,” says Maslany, laughing. “I think he realises that it’s an enormous universe. I know that there’re people who’ve watched chronologically from the start to the finish. I’ve not gotten through everything yet,” she added.
Directed by Kat Coiro and now streaming on Disney+, She-Hulk: Attorney at law, is the eighth Marvel Cinematic Universe series to date.
The shows, as well as the 29 movies released so far, are all more-or-less intertwined, sharing common plot elements, characters or settings from the Marvel Comics.
