Breaking the Fourth Wall: She-Hulk in the Media

[Brn2bwild]

The above rumored premiere date must be wrong, because Ms. Marvel is premiering in June.

[The Crazed Spruce]

Apparently, the Disney+ UK site accidentally leaked the release date, August 17.

I rarely complain about special effects, but no. This looks cheap and nasty. They aren't even trying. The tone is like nails on a chalkboard too. Unless they have a better trailer on the way, this looks utterly missable.

[Sakura12]

I'm hoping they are still working on the CGI for Jennifer. Because yeah, that is not good.

 

[AnimeMania]

Since they chose not to use a human painted green as She-Hulk, I thought the CGI was fine. They were already way behind in production from this choice, I am guessing they will keep working on it right up until it airs. I am sure that choice ruined their budget.

[WritinMan]

I hope they are still working on the CGI because this looks a bit...Shreky.

But this does have possibilities.

I did like the trailer and will definitely be watching. It's just the CGI that needs work. It's easier to ignore it on the Hulk since he's so big and unnatural anyway. With Jennifer they went more normal looking and it's more noticeable.

I mean - this is Disney/Marvel, so we know they can do better. But to be fair, it's harder to make a digital 'human' look convincingly real than a robot suit. Well, they've got a couple of months.

Poster could use some work too, though:

Yeah, the CGI looks.... questionable, at best.  I know Disney+ series won't quite have the same budget at major films, but it seems pretty off even by that standard.  Still a few months away, so maybe they have time to tweak it?

Other than that though, I'm in.  Tatiana Maslany is never not awesome, and I think she'll be a great fit in the role.  Already enjoying the rapport between her and Mark Ruffalo.  Also curious to see how Tim Roth will fare as well this go around.  Marvel seems to be all about bringing back characters/performers that might have not worked initially and giving them a second chance!

I’m also looking forward to seeing LA in the show. I vaguely recall Tony Stark had a house on the west coast in IM2 and Captain Marvel did a bit in 1990s downtown LA, but overall NYC has gotten much more shine in the MCU. Hell, between the Ant-Man films and Shang-Chi, SF has probably had more screen time than LA.

[AnimeMania]

I just read that the series is now 9 episodes long, did they lose an episode?

OK, I just read that they did lose an episode.

Between WandaVision, What If?, and She-Hulk, it looks like the MCU is developing a curse where the ten ep shows all end up at 9 episodes.

'She-Hulk' Adds 'Flight Attendant' Star Griffin Matthews in Recurring Role (Exclusive)

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has added The Flight Attendant star Griffin Matthews to the cast, ET has exclusively learned. He will play a recurring character who will appear opposite Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who handles superhuman-related legal cases. 

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would join the Marvel Universe!” Griffin tells ET about joining the MCU. “This was never a genre that I thought an actor like me (in my package) could fit into.” 

He adds, “The most exciting part of joining the MCU was being told by our director and writers: ‘Do not try to fit. Just be you.’ And that gave me the freedom to run wild…”

SHE-HULK? Or... MS. MARVEL? (Disney+)
...
Sorry to be indecisive, but this is a coin toss. On the one hand, you have Emmy winner Tatiana Maslany hulking out in a self-described comedy. (And for the nitpickers, the so-so CGI that drew scoffs in the first trailer has already been upgraded.) On the other hand, we’ve actually seen episodes of Ms. Marvel starring Iman Vellani, and it is an absolute delight, plus it is known to feed into the Captain Marvel movie sequel. (Ms. Marvel premieres Wednesday, June 8; She-Hulk: Attorney at Law premieres Wednesday, Aug. 17)

I am not remotely bothered by the CGI. Maybe I’m just easy that way. This drops on my 50th birthday and I’m ready for it.

And I love that they aren’t being coy about breaking the fourth wall.

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, I'm honestly at the point where I won't give a damn if the CGI is shoddy, if the show lives up to what the trailers are advertising.  Tatiana Maslany looks like she's going to be a blast as She-Hulk and, if anything, I feel like the CGI will almost work with this show's almost campy tone (I mean, Jameela Jamil's outfit looks like it would fit right in with the WWE/pro-wrestling.)  I'm all in.

Also, I'm all for Wong basically being this Phase's version of Nick Fury.  Get him on all of the MCU stuf

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law cast and producer on what to expect from Marvel's 'slice of life' comedy
By Sydney Bucksbaum  July 23, 2022

You're legally obligated to laugh at She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Just kidding! But it is Marvel's first comedy series, and when the cast and producer stopped by EW's Comic-Con video suite on Saturday, they revealed that Disney+'s upcoming legal comedy is different from anything that's come before in the MCU.

"What's really fun about this show is that in the Marvel movies, we get to see a lot of high stakes events — the universe is going to end, everyone in existence is going to go away," executive producer/head writer Jessica Gao says. "But what happens in between those events? What happens on a regular Tuesday when you just have to do laundry? That's really kind of the slice of life that this show explores."

"And someone broke your car when they were throwing it across the way or something," Ginger Gonzaga, who plays Nikki Ramos, jokes. "What are the legal ramifications of that?"
*  *  *
Series star Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), who plays the titular green superhero also known as Jennifer Walters, answers: "A lot of documentation."

"This is the show of legal paperwork, which we knew was what the MCU fans were screaming for," Gao quips.

As Marvel's first half-hour comedy series, Gao says it was tough finding the right tone for the show. "I had a very specific idea of the tone that I wanted for the show, having come from comedy and really having thought about it for so long," she says. "But it was really tricky having to balance comedy and being light and irreverent and also very meta and self-aware, but also there's this kind of expectation of being part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and balancing all of the action and the drama and the plot, too."

If the show is good, I can ignore the CGI. I'm a fan of Tatiana Maslany and Jameela Jamil so I'm looking forward to it. 

[Llywela]

Hmm. Ropey CGI doesn't bother me, but the humour in the trailer isn't really landing for me. I hope it plays out more smoothly in the actual show.

She-Hulk Team Teases 'Fun' Side of Daredevil, 'Great Chemistry' Between Actors: 'People Are Gonna Love It'

Quote

Appearing virtually at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Wednesday, head writer Jessica Gao, series lead Tatiana Maslany and director Kat Coiro all were mum about what exactly goes down between Jennifer “Jen” Walters’ big, green alter ego and fellow legal eagle Matt’s Man Without Fear — let alone how She-Hulk might set up the recently announced Daredevil: Born Again series. But Maslany eventually offered up a personal rave.

“Charlie is amazing” and “does some great work” on She-Hulk, the Emmy-winning Orphan Black alum avowed. “The tone of our show is so different [from Netflix’s Daredevil], and to see his character in the tone of She-Hulk is really fun.”

Gao in turn teased that “to watch Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters, She-Hulk/Daredevil, go toe-to-toe and match wits is something that people are gonna love.”

“Charlie and Tatianna have SUCH great chemistry together,” added Coiro. “It’s really, really fun seeing them together — like, it really has the vibe of like an old Howard Hawks movie” (e.g. Bogie and Bacall in The Big Sleep).
