After the “She-Hulk: Defender of Heroes” series was unveiled as Marvel’s “Law & Order” in a playful commercial, a consensus has emerged among critics that the series actually resembles “Ally McBeal” , a fantasy comedy about a lawyer trying to tackle the cases of the week and his single life.
A huge success in the 1990s, the attraction catapulted the career of creator David E. Kelley, who today signs “Big Sky” and “The Power and the Law”. But this has never been seen by Tatiana Maslany, the interpreter of She-Hulk.
“I’ve never seen an episode of ‘Ally McBeal’. I’m sorry about that,” he confessed in an interview with Variety.
But it wasn’t because of a generational difference. After all, the 37-year-old actress cites another series from the 90s: “Seinfeld” as an influence for her portrayal. And, of course, she admits comparisons to “Legally Blonde,” the 2001 comedy that made Reese Witherspoon a first-team star.
“I’ve seen ‘Legally Blonde’. It seems more aligned to me,” Maslany explained of the references he sought out for the role of attorney Jennifer Walter, who is also a greenish superhero. “Elle Woods [a personagem de Withespoon] she is seen one way and always struggles to be seen for who she is, and I think she too struggles to know who she really is. And she is still a lawyer. All this “, she compared her.
“But I feel Seinfeld’s Elaine Benes was a bigger reference for me,” he added, referring to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s character in “Seinfeld”. “She Obviously she is an incredibly capable person, but she also gets what she wants and she has her problems with her and her problems that make her a mess. But I also love Elaine. She is the one I grew up watching. “.
Marvel’s courtroom comedy stars Tatiana Maslany (“Orphan Black”) as Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who, overnight, finds herself transformed into superhero She-Hulk. But what at first looks like a problem soon becomes a great gimmick, as her new profile ends up attracting a new clientele, made up of suspicious superpowers.
“She-Hulk: Defender of Heroes” was developed by Jessica Gao, screenwriter of the animation “Rick and Morty” and the sitcom “Corporate”, and is directed by Kat Coiro, known for working on television comedies such as “Modern Family. “,” Dial Amiga Para Matar “(Dead To Me) and” It’s always sunny in Philadelphia “.
The first episode was made available Thursday (18/8) on Disney +.
