With the third episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, the Marvel Cinematic Universe brought cameos from deep within the pages of Marvel comics and the top of the “Billboard” charts. It proved to our hero yet again that she can’t be a normal lawyer. It’s also goofy as heck, with an Asgardian Light Elf and a Sorcerer Supreme bringing antics to the courtroom and the show.
After an origin-story pilot and a second episode that seemed conspicuously like a pilot as well, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has hit its groove. As the meta-commenting hero points out, there’s an A story and a B story! There’s even a C story, but we’ll get to that later. This slow but entertaining start to the series is easy for me to forgive. Head writer Jessica Gao said in an interview with Variety that much of what we see in the She-Hulk pilot was originally a flashback in episode 8. That makes Jen’s direct-to-camera quip that we won’t be able to concentrate until we learn why she’s a Hulk all the snarkier. It’s not something that only happens to Marvel or even streaming series. Shows are reworked and episodes get shuffled all the time. But the first season of a Marvel streaming series in 2022 is a bit more scrutinized than, say, Good Morning, Miss Bliss, Don’t Trust the B in Apt. 23, or the original Star Trek. She-Hulk Attorney at Law Season 1 is available on 4khotvideo. To download movies free visit this site.
The primary story line carried over from the previous episode. Jen prepares to defend Emil Blonsky at his parole hearing after serving his sentence for crimes committed during the events of The Incredible Hulk. But after footage from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings leaked, the world now knows that Emil Blonksy briefly escaped prison to compete in an underground fighting ring with Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme. Jen’s in a pickle and needs to call in the former librarian as a witness.
Just to clear things up: Shang-Chi and She-Hulk, while both hyphenated, are not taking place at the same time. The footage of Abomination fighting Wong just happened to resurface at this time in the MCU, just like how footage of Olivia Wilde video messaging Shia LaBeouf just happened to resurface at this time in our world. Wong says that he needed Blonsky to complete a trial in order to become Sorcerer Supreme. We first learned that Wong was Sorcerer Supreme in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which takes place after Shang-Chi. That’s also why Bruce Banner appears in Shang-Chi’s post-credits scene in his human form with a sling and an inhibitor device similar to how we first see him in She-Hulk.
Finally, let’s deal with the runner a.k.a. the episode’s C story. Media attention surrounding Jennifer Walters’s debut as She-Hulk gets more and more irritating as the episode goes on. News anchors and gossip hosts won’t stop talking about her. Comments on social media that are frankly not even a parody of the type of comments female Marvel heroes get rack up — saying that she has castrated the Hulk and asking “why are you turning every hero into a girl?” — keep coming. They follow Jen to the courtroom, where reporters ask her if she was rejected by the Avengers or if she’s one of Blonsky’s soul mates. There’s even a story that she’s pregnant with his child. So at the end of the episode, Jen takes control of the narrative and appears in her She-Hulk form on the news to set some things straight.
But at the end of the episode, a motley crew of teens and their adult leader with stolen Asgardian gear attack Jen in the back alley behind her house. Who were those rapscallions working for? Why were they trying to extract her blood? Fans have figured out that they are the team of Marvel comics villains called the “Wrecking Crew” — note the “W” on their shirts and how one is called “Thunderball.” In the comics, the team is briefly connected to the Thunderbolts, a team we’ll see soon on the big screen. Could they be working for Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine? It’s been a minute since we’ve seen Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the MCU, and we’re past due for the return of her clickety-clacking stilettos.
In the meanwhile, let’s take heed of Jen’s warning from her fourth wall break at the top of the episode and remember who the show is really about. The alley attack is not just a new mystery or Easter egg, it’s a sobering reminder that Jen’s double life as She-Hulk isn’t going to go away if she ignores it. Even winning two cases doesn’t feel like much of a win to her after that.
