She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode Five Review - 6 Ups & 3 Downs

9. Down - A Lack Of Action

It was said before the series ever released that She-Hulk would be a courtroom comedy. This is something that has been solidified week after week, but even so, it is still a superhero property. She-Hulk is a mainstay in the Marvel Universe, and will of course evolve into a superhero in the MCU as well.

While delving into Jen’s character as well as her constant battle with what life as She-Hulk throws at her is incredibly important, and something that the series has so far done impeccably well, this episode in particular felt like it suffered from a lack of action.

While Jen has been adamant that she doesn’t want to be a superhero, it’s obviously coming. The series wouldn’t exist if She-Hulk didn’t ultimately become a vigilante of some sort, but over halfway through the series there has been no sign of such a development at all.

Jen has fought off her cousin, the Wrecking Crew, and a bunch of demons alongside Wong, but it feels like it’s taking too long to get to a point where she establishes herself as a hero. There are only four episodes left after all, so the crime-fighting does need to come in at some point soon.
