• Why you're never skinny enough (or the opposite) and why everyone has to weigh in on it

  • Kill the mother-in-law (including Victoria Beckham)

First of all a clarification.

The birth of

She-Hulk

or She-Hulk

on Disney +

(pla

for friends), has not been a consequence of the well-

wisher fever

that wreaks havoc in the world of audiovisual fiction (and that causes so much anger in fans of original products, to the reactions to the changes of sex and skin color of the characters of 'Sandman', for example, not to mention 'The Bridgertons').

No. The character,

Hulk's cousin,

was born long before we saw ourselves like this, in 1979, when her first comic book was published: 'The wild Hulka 1'.

The green lawyer never had the pull of the male character, so over time she fell into

oblivion

, waiting for the times to claim a female version of whatever came to mind.

Look how lucky for Marvel that the basic work with the Hulk had already been done more than 30 years ago.

Tatiana Maslany

('Orphan Black') gives life to the protagonist of this series of superheroes that is actually a series of lawyers in a

comedy key,

which has been announced as the most feminist of Marvel.

The series does not exclude the male character of the Hulk

(Mark Ruffalo),

essential especially at the start, and in fact emphasizes the difference in 'personality' of the two versions, male and female.

What in Hulk is all overflowing cortisol, in Hulka is calculated control.

And there we begin to see that nothing is equal, cute.

Let me explain: Maslany herself has said that the series inherits from reality the training to which

women

have been subjected all their lives so as

not to react violently

to events in the environment.

That kind of

reactivity

has traditionally been

reserved for masculinity,

for better or worse.

Marvel perpetuates this distinction even when high on steroids.

No matter how green you get, if you are a woman you will not lose your papers, we read between the lines.

And finally, no matter how much transformation there is, She-Hulk will always appear as

a brush.

With

perfectly

outlined

eyebrows

,

mascara ready,

impeccable eye

-liner

and hair, like it just came out of the hairdresser's.

Neither Marvel nor anyone else seems to be able to afford, at least for now, a truly 'wild' woman.

As much as that, 'The wild She-Hulk', was the original title of the comic.

Release date of 'She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka'

The series 'She-Hulk: Lawyer Hulka' has nine episodes and premieres on August 18 on Disney +.
