Script[]
You've already seen superheroes break the fourth wall...
Deadpool: (to the camera) Oh, hello!
...balance their law practice with beatdowns (shows a hallway fight from the Daredevil Netflix series), and explore what goes on when the costumes come off.
The Deep: This is Herogasm.
But the MCU's newest hero is here to remind us, she's been doing all of that since 1995; I mean, it's kind of stale now, but... she was first.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
Meet Jennifer Walters, a milestone in representation... for public servants who move on to more lucrative corporate gigs.
Holliway: Take some time to think it...
Jennifer: I accept.
After that time she went full Targaryen with her cousin, she'll become She-Hulk (shows She-Hulk roaring at harassers), a lawyer committed to greenwashing her firm's new image, but don't worry if you're not into those lawyer shows...
Jennifer: (whispering to the camera) Lawyer show.
...it's mostly about this beautiful rich woman's impossible quest to find a good man. Eww, just imagine if Tatiana Maslany could cover your rent and turn into a hotter version of herself; it's gross just to think about it. Bleh!
Thrill as She-Hulk fights the half of humanity Thanos forgot to warn you about: men...
Bukowski: There's a hot chick over there. I'm gonna go talk to it.
...as she's attacked by online misogynists...
Nikki: They're just trolls.
...dating app dinguses...
Todd: What a specimen...
Meathead: How much can you deadlift?
...or those nice guys who you just know are full of it.
Blonsky: --yes, I feel I have been rehabilitated. [...] Emotionally, physically, metaphysically, spiritually...
I see you, Tim Roth; can't lie to me. But after seven episodes of foreplay, we finally get to meet one of the good ones: Daredevil.
Murdock: I'm here.
Charlie Cox returns as the hero everyone wants in their hallway (shows Daredevil fighting in a hallway); he's got the look, he's got the skills (shows Daredevil leaping off a building), and the Man Without Fear... is clearly not afraid of keeping his identity secret at all.
Murdock: (sniffing) Mr. Patilio, what kind of fuel did you use in your boosters?
Uh, you're using your powers in court, bro; chill.
Murdock: --I have to go. Something has just, uh, come up with work.
Urgent legal business? In the middle of the night? Across the country from your practice?
Daredevil: (while knocking out a goon) Temporary insanity is murky, but it's not a bad strategy. I'd angle this more as a form of traumatic expression due to undiagnosed PTSD.
Dude, wait until the costume is off to give legal advice! It's a tell!
But Jen won't Hulk-smash the patriarchy alone. There's Nikki, her work bestie and actual bestie, because no one in the MCU has friends outside of their job (shows Jennifer with Nikki alongside Hawkeye with the Avengers, Doctor Strange with Dr. Christine Palmer, and Dr. Jane Foster with Darcy Lewis and Dr. Erik Selvig); Lulu, who got screamed at by Freddy Krueger AND sewn into the pants of the big Charlie Brown; and Titania, a superhero addicted to social media, played by a supermodel addicted to social media (shows Jameela Jamil's Twitter feed), who goes after supervillains addicted to social media. (shows a Tweet from Jamil calling out Kim Kardashian) Oh, plus, we get a little Wong, as a treat!
Want a gripping legal drama that relies on the lawyers' brilliant minds and the quirks of the American court system? Better Call Saul! But if you're looking for a show with more of an Ace Attorney approach...
Judge: Using a whip in court is somewhat prob-- (gets struck with a whip)
Franziska von Karma: No problemo.
...then better send Jen, where the cases feel made-up on the fly...
Cornelius: --you can't own magic.
Donny: And you can't trademark a spirit...
...resolve in an instant...
Judge Price: --the defendant is absolved of all liability. I'm dismissing this case.
...and the judges don't give a sh*t...
Judge Hanna: (after Donny makes a rabbit appear) Aww...
...because according to the showrunner (a /Film article with the title "Why She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Eliminated Many Of Its Courtroom Scenes" pops up), writing a good lawyer show is hard. You couldn't have, I don't know... hired writers from, like, good legal shows? Just spitballing here.
Jennifer: Oh, is that how it works, Your Honor?
Deliveryman: Yeah.
Jennifer: Get outta here.
So do what everyone else does these days, and make up your mind to love or hate this show before you even see it (a ScreenGeek article with the title "'She-Hulk' Gets Review Bombed On IMDb With Good & Bad Reviews" pops up), that isn't as bad as the review-bombers made it out to be, but isn't good enough to really defend in court, because at the end of the day... Wait, wait, hold up! Is this--Is this already the outro? What about the twerking scene? The Planet Hulk tease? No, no, no, no, we're not done yet! I demand to talk to whoever writes this crap! (pulls out of the video and zooms in on the Honest Trailers Commentary for this episode) No, not those idiots! I want to talk to their boss: the YouTube algorithm!
The Algorithm: Yes, Epic Voice Guy?
Why are we ending the trailer here?
The Algorithm: Data indicates you retain more viewers when your videos are between five and seven minutes in length.
Well, what if there's more to say?
The Algorithm: Viewers will just fast-forward to the part with the funny names.
Okay, that sucks; put a lot of thought into everything except that part! Anything we could do to change their minds?
The Algorithm: Be more hateful. Data indicates hate is great for views.
Clearly. But we're "Honest Trailers"; if something's good, we say it's good, mid mid, bad bad, etcetera. It's my gift... and my curse.
The Algorithm: Recalculating... Have you considered trying to become a wife guy, and then cheat on her with--?
Okay, forget it, we're done here!
Starring: Single Female Lawyer (Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters); Thiccness for the Prosecution (Malia Arrayah and Tatiana Maslany as She-Hulk); My Best Friend's Hearing (Ginger Gonzaga as Nikki Ramos); Bruce Bruh-ner (Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Bruce Banner/The Hulk)...
Hulk: Bruh.
...Tiny Tim and the Abominable Grow Man (Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/The Abomination); The Goop Troop (Abomaste [Nathan Hurd as William Taurens/Man-Bull, Terrence Clowe as Muzaffar Lambert/Saracen, Joseph Castillo-Midyett as Alejandro Montoya/El Águila, Nick Gomez as Dirk Garthwaite/Wrecker, and Jordan Aaron Ford as Alexander Gentry/Porcupine]); Hulk Smash That Like Button (Jameela Jamil as Mary MacPherran/Titania); The Man Without Shame (Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil); Pug Life (Josh Segarra as Augustus "Pug" Pugliese); Stefan Urquelle (Griffin Matthews as Luke Jacobson); The Try Guy, You Know the One (David Pasquesi as Craig Hollis/Mr. Immortal); "To Wong, Thanks for Everything, Jen Walters" (Benedict Wong as Wong); and... (Patty Guggenheim as Madisynn King)
Madisynn: Madisynn is with two N's, one Y, but it's not where you thiiiink!
M-A-D-Y-S-- M-A-D-uh... I-S-- M-A-D-I-- Ugh, I really don't know where the "Y" goes; it's not where I thought.
Law & Ogre: Super Victims Unit
The honest title for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was ‘Law & Ogre: Super Victims Unit’. Titles designed by Robert Holtby.
Jennifer: (to K.E.V.I.N.) --Marvel movies all end the same way... / --throw a bunch of plot, and flash, [...] at the audience in the climax.
No, the big showdowns are just for the movies; the shows all end in a void outside space and time, where the thing gets explained to you by a god. See? You're doing it right now!
