Why Marvel's 'fun lawyer show' started with a SheHulk origin episode outside of the courtroom:
Warning: this story contains details for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episode 1,"A Normal Amount of Rage." "It's true. I am a Hulk," Los Angeles attorney Jennifer Walters tells the audience in the fourth-wall-breaking opening minutes of She-Hulk."I'm guessing you won't be able to focus on this fun lawyer show until you know all about that.
In"A Normal Amount of Rage," Jen tells Bruce she's not going to follow in his superhero footsteps as an Avenger. Instead, the 30-something attorney intends to return to the career she spent years building and"use my law degree that I'm still paying off a fortune in student loans for.
"It was during production that we decided to push [the origin] to episode eight. I remember there was a lot of discussion. Honestly, I was probably in a fugue state. I don't actually remember what the catalyst was of moving it to episode eight, but we did, and that's what it was for a very long time, until we were in post-production," Gao said.
"Because I knew this character, inside and out, and she was always my favorite in the comics, I really took for granted that everybody would know who she was, how she got these powers, and her relationship to Bruce. I just took for granted that everybody would know this, but not a lot of people are familiar with her," Gao explained."People who watched it, test audiences, really wanted to know more about her. They were having trouble.
