This August 18th, the greenest lawyers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe landed on Disney +: ‘She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka’. Last Tuesday we brought you the first reactions of the specialized press, but with its premiere the criticism embargo has also risen which gave him 94% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes in the early hours.
For journalists, the great work that Tatiana Maslany does as Jennifer Walters, Bruce Banner’s attorney, is arguably better. For the youtuber perri nemiroff her interpretation “Improve every element of production” And Proma Khosla de Indiewire, although he loves the full cast, Between Maslany and Mark Ruffalo chemistry stands out: “Jen and Bruce joke like brothers, and even though he leaves the show soon, his relationship supports the pilot.” Additionally, Solzy At the Movies ‘Danielle Solzman tells us that although we have seen her many facets as an actress on Orphan Black’, “This time he’s acting in Marvel’s playground and pushing the limits of UCM comedy.”
And speaking of comedy, while there seems to be a consensus regarding Maslany, the tone of the series generates more discrepancies. According to Kelly Lawler of USA Today “When the series is completely delivered to the nonsense of legal procedures with Change and Pirate Wizards with the powers of Dr. Strange, it’s fun and attractive. When it dispenses in too many directions, it fails “. The procedural thing refers to the episodes following the series plots of doctors or lawyers to bring one case a week, what Jenna Anderson de Comicbook considers a success: “This family-friendly format is the springboard for the series that will be undeniably comical and silly, with jokes, visual gags and post-credits scenes that will have many viewers watching it twice.”
A very curious word that Caroline Framke of Variety and Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times use to describe it is “old style”. The first considers the ‘She-Hulk’ approach “is several years late”but the second believes the series “It looks like a 21st century version of an 80s series, and I say that as a compliment.”
And the special effects?
One problem that will have turned the entire “She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka” team upside down is the reaction fans had to the special effects of the first trailer (we already told you it wasn’t good), so who could watching several episodes now can answer the big unknown: Am I really that bad? Well, the short answer is a little yes. Patricia Puentes de Ask says it looks like “rare” and Roeper that “It seems to have been done by the same team that once worked for Lou Ferrigno”the Hulk of the series “The Incredible Hulk” which aired between 1978 and 1982. Nor is Dan Fienberg much friendlier than The Hollywood Reporter, who says that the effects not only “they are not impressive” but they don’t try to be: “If there were multiple action scenes or multiple sequences that take a lot of weight to be lifted, literally or figuratively, from the special effects, perhaps the technical modesty of the show would be a problem.”
Other noteworthy aspects are, for example, its relationship with the rest of UCM: “The series is full of references, Easter Eggs and Cameos, but even if you don’t have a PhD in everything related to Marvel, The scripts do a great job of telling us this particular story in a direct and relatively simple way, easy to digest “says Roeper; But Anderson looks like a revolution: “show what is possible in the realm of superhero adaptations.”
As for the female approach and the rest of the cast, Joblo’s Movie Network’s Alex Maidy believes the series “does not lecture or transform male characters into caricatures to reinforce his message”and, as Khosla says, “She-Hulk” “explores the social perceptions of women and their bodies and it is clear that [Jessica Gao, Kat Coiro y Maslany] They’ve thought of all the ways this plays out in Jen’s life. “. In addition to Ruffalo, Benedict Wong receives many compliments as an official scene thief (a “flawless comic relief”says Khosla) and Jameela Jamil (“Tatiana’s superpoderate rival” for Anderson). The final “One of the best Marvel series to date. A lawyer comedy starring comic book characters.”. The first season of “She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka” will have 10 episodes and you can watch it weekly on the Disney Plus streaming platform.
