I’ve enjoyed every Marvel show on Disney+ so far, but I’m starting to think that She-Hulk might be my favorite (though it’s tough to beat Loki, and I loved What If).
If you haven’t seen it, She-Hulk is a half-hour legal action-comedy. There are ongoing storylines, but like many legal shows, each episode features a specific case handled by She-Hulk. I’m finding that I really like the half-hour length of the show.
Legal dramas aren’t a genre that typically excite me, but these aren’t ordinary cases–these are all about the world of Marvel! Villains, heroes, other dimensions…I didn’t realize it, but this is what I was missing about the Marvel Universe: How the presence of superpowers impacts our social systems.
This reminds me a bit of how much I love that there’s a lawyer in the crew of the main ship in the far-future sci-fi novel series The Final Architecture. I love seeing everyday jobs appear in fantasy and science fiction. We have healers in every dungeon crawl game–where are all the lawyers and accountants?
Anyway, I’m charmed by She-Hulk, and I’m all for more half-hour Marvel shows. What do you think?
We are so blessed by wonderful work all around us! Which character or franchise would you love to see Disney or Netflix cover next?
For Netflix, Red Rising. For Disney, maybe some the Fantastic Four? Their movies haven’t worked, but maybe they could work better in a show format.
Yes. Love it. Feel gypped that we haven’t had post credit scenes for the last 2 weeks.
