Tatiana Maslany was clear that “She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka” “would provoke a complicated answer”

Tatiana Maslany is clear that her She-Hulk is like a “glamazon” because “he is over two meters tall and has perfect hair every day”, a description used by Jessica Gao herself, co-creator and author of the series, to specify She-Hulk’s appearance. This aesthetic commitment is something that the protagonist of ‘She-Hulk: She-Hulk Lawyer’ shares with Elle Woods of ‘Legally Blonde’, a film that seems to inspire this series that It’s more of a lawyer sitcom than a UCM TV drama.

“It is completely different [a lo que hemos visto antes en el UCM]. We have seen comedies in films such as ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, the Taika Waititi films; even ‘Scarlet Witch and Vision’ had a comic point, but this has a sitcom / lawyer procedural approach”. Maslany points out that while this distances her from her comic book predecessors, it ties into the film Reese Witherspoon starred in more than two decades ago. “I saw ‘Legally Blonde’, a movie I love and have seen more than 20 times already, and [me he dado cuenta de que] there is something about the way Elle Woods is conceived, this it seems to be one thing but then something deeper is revealed; which links to “She-Hulk” even though they are both very different characters. Jenn is not as cool and popular as Elle Woods … But she definitely has the feeling that there is something deeper underneath. “.

That something deeper is linked (and at the same time not) to the fact that Jenn suddenly has to face her transformation, a “struggle” That “It has less to do with the disordered excitement of being a Hulk or losing sight of oneself; and more with the idea of ​​ceasing to be what it is and losing the life that was being built. His struggle is to accept that it happened to him and somehow internalize it: find a way to connect with his side of the Hulk and find a point where Jen and She-Hulk can coexist. “.

Maslany, who claims to be happy with that power “be part of such a self-aware series”I knew that “She-Hulk” “was about to elicit a complicated answer” which made him fall in love with the script. The reaction of the male fandom and the toxicity on the Internet “it integrates into the story as if it’s another problem that Jen has to deal with”something that is a hoot according to its protagonist.

The most independent?

“She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka” is no different from the rest of the MCU’s previous propositions in its tone, but in the way it connects with everything else. Its plot does not seem to hide as many threads as usual within the tapestry of the aforementioned comic universe.but the series team has found a way to make this connection present.

“She is online [con el resto del UCM] through all the wonderful cameos that appear throughout the season. Several great characters from the MCU, whose stories we already know, are crossing with Jenn, which makes “She-Hulk” look like a Marvel series. But at the same time, because Jenn is so resistant to that world and so unwilling to accept it, she always ends up taking the show away from him.”.
