She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Jessica Gao's brand-new, peppy "fun lawyer show," gives the origin narrative a revitalising, quick-paced makeover.
Tatiana Maslany plays the lead role. The series begins with Jennifer Walters, a.k.a. She-Hulk, preparing her closing arguments for a crucial case with the assistance of her paralegal buddy Nikki (Ginger Gonzaga) and colleague attorney Dennis. Walters is Bruce Banner's (Mark Ruffalo) cousin and a lawyer (Drew Matthews).

Jen waits until the three are about to enter the courtroom before turning to face the crowd and explaining why precisely Nikki said that Jen would be "hulking out" in court.
The scene establishes the meta-comedic tone of the series right immediately, while being a little "record scratch, freeze-frame" in terms of how quickly it happens. We need to understand how we got here before we can delve into what Jen claims is the real story, which is the entertaining lawyer show.
We don't typically see Marvel superheroes gaining their powers just five minutes into their origin narrative. The first episode of their previous Disney+ series, Ms. Marvel, ended before Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) ever used her powers, while Jen's training sequence starts right away.
