She-Hulk on Disney+: All the Marvel winks you shouldn’t miss in the latest episode
October 13, 2022
10:00 AM
The writers of She-Hulk went all out in the final episode of Season 1. The Marvel/Disney+ series ends this Thursday, and one thing’s for sure, its “very meta” finale won’t go down well with everyone. Tatiana Maslany’s campy superhero takes back control of her story by visiting Marvel’s Big Boss. We have a chance to have a little information about the continuation of the MCU and the supposed solo movie about his cousin Bruce Banner.
Tribute to the TV series Hulk
This very vintage and rather cute start to the episode in the genre is a direct homage to the television series The Incredible Hulk that was released in 1977. The Green Giant was screen-camped by Lou Ferrigno.
Lady Thor
Let’s touch a little bit on this character, played by Natalie Portman in Thor 4, who also drew a lot of criticism, just like She-Hulk.
A very meta episode
The writers go too far in this final episode of She-Hulk, as the heroine is not content with breaking the fourth wall, she leaves her series to join the real world. Here’s a wander into Marvel Studios to chat with Kevin Feige. It’s for one of John Byrne’s comics, in which a superhero stops his plot to go to Marvel Comics and meet with his creator to discuss his development.
Kevin Feige… or rather Kevin
Were you expecting to see Kevin Feige, Marvel’s big shot? No. You’ll have to settle for an AI that doesn’t even make a sound. But you’ll most likely notice his little cape, one of the producer’s favorite accessories…
No budget and head over to Black Panther!
As we know, the She-Hulk teams had to reduce the special effects due to lack of budget. And the writers prefer to laugh about it, as evidenced by this scene where KEVIN explains that the VFX team went to work on another project. At this time, we also hear the theme music of Black Panther, the second part of which is expected in a few weeks…
Is a Hulk movie in the works?
Jennifer asks Kevin a lot of questions even if the latter avoids it. But we do learn that a Hulk movie on the Marvel side will be in the works. This will be Mark Ruffalo’s first solo film as the Green Giant. And the final reveal of the episode will start new storylines.
X-MEN, FINALLY!!
While mutants are known to have appeared in the MCU, this is the first time the term X-Men has been used in a film or TV show. And for that, we have Jennifer Walters to thank—even if she has no other information on the subject.
Son of the Hulk
Fans understood why the Hulk traveled to Sakaar earlier in the season. The MCU has indeed just introduced his son, who is named Skaar. We don’t know much at this point and we’ll most likely have to wait for his solo film to have more answers. In the comics, Skaar is a warrior and emperor of Sakaar. But for now, it doesn’t seem to get any scarier than that…
