Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks, so let us continue talking about our jade-colored legal eagle instead.
Sadly, this week’s episode, ‘The People vs. Emil
Blonsky’ is not exactly a break-mold episode that is needed by now; instead, we
get an introductory episode.
However, whom does ‘The People’ (re)-introduce? First –
Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, who seems to be one some path of redemption, (with Wong along for the ride, apparently).
‘The People’ show that he has also evolved, just as the original Hulk has, and
is keeping his coherence whenever he digivolves, so no more mitigating
circumstances; on the flip side, he is released, provided that he doesn’t go
full supervillain once more. Pause. Yeah, looks as if the MCU Thunderbolts –
still in the making – just got a new name onto their potential roster.
Second, we got the Wrecking Crew, and so far, they are
quite underwhelming – just four mysterious people with Asgardian equipment,
(cough). Given how Jen spent even less time with them than she did with Titania
in the series’ premiere, I am not holding my breath out for them – Hell,
Titania’s return would be more exciting after their debut.
Finally, we got the shape-shifting Light Elves, the
better cousins of the Dark Elves (from the 2nd Thor film), or at least
the cousins with the better PR. Getting into the entire MTS situation down
below, I am left wondering about the shape-shifting gig – isn’t it the Skrulls’
thing instead? Actually, we have not heard of the Skrulls since the WV ended –
and the second ‘Dr. Strange’ film has seriously re-made that story, (and not
necessarily for the better). I’ve heard rumors that team Disney is having some
serious legal issues with the team Marvel comics, so I honestly wonder if this
has any relations to this slight re-working that we’re getting in MCU lately?..
In addition, as for MTS herself… what kind of fee did
she get for her appearances in the ‘Legal Eagle’ – I mean, ‘She-Hulk’? In
addition, does this make her a legitimate part of MCU now, and Marvel comics
can use her as a character, if she is paid? People want to know!
On a more serious topic, the entire celebrity cameo
shtick had been used before in romantic comedies, (such as ‘The Nanny’), so does
it mean that ‘She-Hulk’ is going full ‘Ally McBeal’ now? In that case, um,
could we do a plot twist where this aspect of MCU is revealed a rebooted
Westview with Wanda doing her old tricks in a new setting? Now that has
potential, I have to say!
…Sadly, however, this is all I want to say about ‘She-Hulk’
at this point. See you all soon, instead!
