She-Hulk on Disney+: A Strange Recap of the First Episode … The One Who Sees Green Half Full

SPOILER ALERT! This article will reveal the main plot elements of the first episode of She-Hulk. If you haven’t seen it and don’t want to spoil it·Don’t read it anymore!

It’s time to meet Jennifer Walters, Tatiana Maslany, lawyer for the day, and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Bruce Banner’s cousin. And the hero of She-Hulk: the lawyer! A little dance of joy to welcome a new MCU superhero.

It begins with Jennifer looking us straight in the eye, looking serious, and asking us this question as if we were about to take an undergraduate philosophy exam: “What are the responsibilities of power?“

We tell ourselves that we don’t really want to re-read Nietzsche while watching the Marvel series, but the reverse tracking shot is enough to make it clear that Jennifer is simply repeating the request to her colleagues. Phew… (because we didn’t have Nietzsche’s quote on power anymore, there)

Dennis prefers to be the one being asked, and we already want to strangle him. But Nikki (Ginger Gonzaga), her assistant and friend, kicks her out and compliments Jen on her wild look. It’s not too scary in real life, and we don’t really see the wildness, but we also encourage it.

Nick tells her that she’ll just have to go Hulk mode if her request fails before they leave the office… and Jenny pulls back to give us some explanation. And this time, talking directly to us, the audience.

Flashback. It all started on a road trip with Bruce. They are talking in the car when a Sakaaran ship blocks them and crashes. They are injured, but not seriously. And it’s by pulling Bruce out of the car that Jenny gets a few drops of her cousin’s blood on the wound, which causes his instant transformation.

Pause: So now can anyone outsmart a drop of blood? Will you survive a science experiment that goes wrong? This is huge!

He transforms, all right. But it’s not as radical as Bruce. Basically, he’s a head taller and has double the muscles, but since he’s not a bodybuilding champion to begin with, he’s not going to be Hulk Hogan either. On the other hand, green does not go unnoticed. And grunt too, not so careful.

He wakes up alone in the forest in the middle of the night and has been restored to his normal form. Only with torn clothes and the head of someone who had been hit by a truck. While he finds a nearby bar and tries to do a cat toilet in the toilet, a group of girls take pity on him, dressing him up and dressing him up so he doesn’t ask for too much thought.

She turns out in a big pink faux fur coat that Donatella Versace wouldn’t deny. As the gentleman in pink says below:

His saviors get Massese on the phone to call Bruce and pick him up. In front of the bar, three toxic men start talking to her. Not in friendly mode, but in stalker. As he walks away from them and they follow him, he transforms and makes short work of it. But Bruce’s version of the Hulk interferes by training the regulation veneer on…Jen.

When he regains consciousness, he is clearly in a place he does not know. It’s actually Bruce’s house somewhere on the edge of a heavenly beach. She finds him in a basement-turned-bunker and high-tech lab, still in Smart Hulk mode because he broke his inhibitor bracelet in a car accident.

He gives her a little picture of her house in Mexico, built and loaned to her by Tony Stark, and all the blabla about her transformation into She-Hulk. Much outrage from Jenny. Is it clear. They are treated with pancakes. It’s always good pancakes when you relax a bit or swallow the fact that he has to isolate himself from the world in order to master his Hulk side.

Back in the shack lab. Bruce has the bright idea of ​​testing his cousin to help him determine what is causing his transformation. And why not lock him in a jar with a wall full of circular saws facing him? hey why not

The experiment is a success, he goes crazy, turns green, and redecorates the lab. When Bruce tries to tame him like a wild animal, he asks what he’s doing. The good news is that Jen doesn’t have a dual identity like Bruce! When he is in the Hulk, he is conscious and in complete possession of his mind.

What follows is a little moral lesson about the responsibility he has now that he has this superhuman strength and the possible deadly consequences if he doesn’t control himself. In short, Nietzsche’s version of CP. The challenge of the moment: Mastering your own power. And Bruce will experiment…

Blagunets jumped out of bed. Tai Chi lessons. Hulk-proof apartment decorating tips and fashion tips for fitting closets. And it all ends in a competition of who is the strongest, the most talented, the most flexible. And who do you think it is? Well, this is it! And who is a little jealous? BRUCE… But it also shows him a bright side.

Except after a while Jen wants to go back and get her life back. But Bruce insists on the delicate matter of anger management. A legitimate concern, to which she responds that as a woman, it’s just her everyday life. (+1)

An instant family feud over everyone’s life choices. which ends in a fight and a beautiful Mexican beach that seems to have been swept away by a storm. But it ends with a little hug, so that’s good. And Jenny returns home determined to never bring out the Hulk in her. The end of a long comeback.

Jen got her life back. We find him in the courtroom as he prepares for his argument. He barely has time to start when Fury — spoiler alert, it’s Titania, played by Jamila Jamil — comes blasting through the wall. The audience is shocked and people try to run away in panic. Jen has an instinct to hide, but Nick encourages her Hulker.

Goodbye fancy suit, not spandex. The fight lasts 30 seconds, with Jenny punching Titania and then proudly skulling her in front of the assembly, who are left speechless. He then resumes his usual form, a bit confused and sacrificial costume, ready to make a plea.

Generic.

Post-credits scene. We return to the beautiful coast of Mexico. Bruce and Jenny drink contentedly – favored by a metabolism that neutralizes the effects of alcohol. A ghostly drunken Jenny laments the fate of poor Steve Rogers, who gave his life to save the world but would have remained a virgin. Injustice is the most beautiful ass in America! But Bruce restores historical truth to Jenny.

A true generic. Goodbye Hulk!
