Episode 5 of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, entitled “Mean, Green and Straight Poured into These Jeans”, gave some of the show’s supporting cast a little more room to breathe than they had been given in prior episodes. While Jen worked with Mallory Book (Renée Elise Goldsberry), Nikki (Ginger Gonzaga) and Pug (Josh Segarra) went to work on updating She-Hulk’s wardrobe.
Turns out Pug has a “Drip Broker” who he trusted not only to find Jen a superhero costume designer but also to help him build the stock part of his “rock and stock” shoe collection. While in Episode 5 he was after the Iron Man 3s (which were teased in an earlier episode), it turns out he has QUITE the collection. As the credits rolled, fans were treated to an Easter egg extravaganza in Pug’s shoe closet, something that definitely warrants a closer look.
There are a whole lot of shoes and not all of them are immediately discernable, but here’s a rundown of what characters seem to be represented in Pug’s shoe closet.

While mainly focusing on Wong, Donny Blaze, and Madisynn, episode four’s B-plot followed Jen as she tried to rekindle her love life through a dating app. While initially presenting herself as… Jennifer Walters, Attorney at Law (to dismal results), she quickly realized that She-Hulk could be a far more intriguing persona in the eyes of the opposite sex. This didn’t come without its setbacks as the one guy who seemed like a perfect fit, even if being a textbook cliché, lost all interest when Jen reverted to her natural form.

This will undoubtedly become a learning experience for Jen, with one of two outcomes. In the future, she’ll either go out as herself so as not to surprise her dates when the morning comes, or she’ll try to keep up appearances and stay in She-Hulk form for as long as needed, while the guys are still around.
In She-Hulk #1 (2014) she decided to take up the latter as she tries to avoid what she calls “The Look”. The “I-went-home-with-She-Hulk-but-woke-up-to-this.” look. This approach somewhat opposes what we’ve seen from Jen in the series so far, as it is being in She-Hulk form that makes her a bit uncomfortable and feeling not like herself.

But, as in the show, her decision isn’t always the best. And while in the series she got rejected by Arthur for being Jen, in the comic she’s rejected by Mika for being She-Hulk and exuding a lack of depth that perhaps Jennifer herself wouldn’t lack. The fact that Mika was looking for something more while being an underwear model himself just made it sting a little bit more.
She-Hulk #1 (2004)
Another similarity between the comics and the show is how She-Hulk apparently manages to fascinate all sorts of men. What they all seem to lack is a real interest in who the actual person behind She-Hulk is. When deciding to focus on everything that makes her visually unique, they completely miss the mark on what Jen believes she brings to the table when it comes to being in a relationship. It is only when she lets her guard down and somehow lets herself be a bit more superficial that things evolve, only to bring herself to the previously mentioned early morning rejection.
This, the fact that men seem to have little to no boundaries in terms of approaching She-Hulk just due to the novelty factor, either in weird ways or simply in the worst possible situations, is also a common situation in the comics. This highlights just how entitled some men can be when it comes to women, and also just how much women have to deal with in similar circumstances. And if She-Hulk definitively has the physical prowess to stick up for herself if the situation asks for it, that is definitely not always the case in the real world. The way the series allows Todd to simply utter the words “What a specimen.” right after Jen basically admits to being indestructible just makes everything completely transparent. Just another thing that both the show and the comics have in common. Considering this run is about to turn 20 years old and the subject matter remains incredibly pertinent is also worth highlighting.
She-Hulk #1 (2004)
At the end of the day, all these trials and tribulations are what eventually lead to Jen feeling more like herself both in and out of She-Hulk form. Understanding when each look better suits the situation and taking advantage of what each allows her to accomplish that the other one doesn’t, as we’ll soon see in the series as we approach the second half of the season.
The first Four episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law are now streaming on Disney+.
When the second trailer for She-Hulk dropped and confirmed that Daredevil himself Charlie Cox is returning in the comedy series, it had many excited to see if he might have a bigger role throughout the Disney+ series run. Of course, we only saw a little bit of him in his costume with a recent teaser even showcasing him in his usual lawyer suit discussing things with Tatiana Maslany‘s Jen Walters.
During the D23 Expo panel, he revealed his upcoming spinoff Daredevil: Born Again with a new logo but that wasn’t all. Variety got a chance to talk to him afterward where he teased a “cheeky and a bit flirty” version of the character in She-Hulk. Yet, he also confirmed that we might not get that much time with him as he seemingly confirms he’s only in one single episode.
It’s a shame if he really is in just one episode but there’s always the chance they might have smaller moments of his character appearing, such as the episode’s post-credit. Plus, they’ll also reference him in some way and his actions will likely leave an impact on Walters as he lives the double life in a similar way. Though, it does make you wonder if she’ll find out that Matt Murdock and Daredevil are the same. We’ll have to see how they handle his character once we get a better look at his addition at a later point.
Daredevil is making his grand return in She-Hulk, Attorney at Law with a brand new look. There was a lot of fanfare since he first appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home for a brief cameo and is now set to get his own revival series Daredevil: Born Again. It got a brief showcase during D23 but no further details on what to expect and how it may tie into his overall development as part of the MCU.
Well, if you’ve been hoping that his appearance in She-Hulk will see the first hint at his series, or even act as the initial spinoff but that’s not the case according to Charlie Cox. When asked after the big D23 panel, he revealed that the series won’t tie into his upcoming spinoff and it seems like it may just be a fun re-introduction to also highlight how Daredevil will be in the MCU.
Of course, we’ll likely get an actual setup in Echo as it has also been confirmed that Kingpin will make his return in that series. So, it’s very likely that this is more of a set-up for his eventual return in the MCU. Plus, he’s not in New York City for some reason, and taking him out of his usual environment might just serve that very purpose.
While Netflix’s Daredevil was quite a massive show for the streamer, there still are people not too familiar with the character who get a chance to meet him before fully investing in his story and place in the MCU moving forward.
As She-Hulk: Attorney at Law continues its run on Disney+, much speculation has arisen about where the plot of the series will go next. The fourth episode, which premiered earlier today, left off with Jennifer Walters having a lawsuit filed against her by a newly released Titania over the trademarked name of “She-Hulk”. Audiences who are anticipating a continued focus on the legal aspects of the series from this revelation should be excited for what’s in store. Actress Ginger Gozaga, who plays the role of Jen Walters’ best friend Nikki, spoke with TVLine about what audiences can expect for the second half of the series.
Yes, that hot legal action with pens and highlighters that you’ve all been asking for! [Laughs] The show is now definitely switching into what it looks like when you have petty, idiot supervillains and superheroes who are either antagonizing you or need to be represented by you. The thing about working in a superhuman law division is we can represent anyone, so we get comic book characters that haven’t entered the Marvel Universe yet, that you haven’t seen in any of the trailers. And you get to see the idiocy of the ridiculously fun superheroes who have legal trouble and may or may not listen to their attorneys. I’m really excited for people to see these guest stars that are in the comic books.
Ginger Gonzaga
Based on what Gonzaga has described, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is fully swinging into the perspective of the “legal comedy” that the series was initially previewed to be. Specifically, a legal battle between the characters of She-Hulk and Titania could very well become a more central arc that the show can take on for the remainder of its first season. This is something that Jameela Jamil seemingly alluded to as early as the red carpet premiere of the series.
Ultimately, fans of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will have to wait till next week to find out more about this direction of the series as the fifth episode is set to premiere on September 15 on Disney+.
The fourth episode of the nine-part series of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law doubles down on its intent to embrace an episodic half-hour comedy, and it is consistent with the success of Episode 3 with this premise. Episode 4 keeps She-Hulk as funny as ever. It is perhaps the first MCU project that will get fans excited for each week, not because they want to find out what happens, but simply because it is so enjoyable.
With certain characters and concepts (like Wong) carrying across multiple episodes, the series is avoiding a super strict “weekly” episodic structure that might forget all previous episode narratives. Still, the B story seems to act as an anchor for the structure—while certain stories span multiple episodes, the magic of Donny Blaze keeps it nicely choppy. It is a solid balance that embraces its MCU-unique style without limiting the stories and story arcs to miniature blips that exist purely within one short episode. She-Hulk is making it clear that it can do both.
Episode 4 continues many of the themes and tones the series has previously set out. The Donny Blaze story is small, but Wong’s inclusion gives it more weight and intrigue. The fact that Wong can be reframed in this series in such a funny way without necessarily affecting the character in the greater MCU is brilliant. She-Hulk feels like comics or comic runs where characters take on very different facets of themselves at different times, but the MCU has previously avoided treading into this territory. In fact, some fans tend to lend harsh criticism to the studio if their favorite character comes across differently than how they have in the past.
But She-Hulk’s embrace of this strategy undoubtedly will go on to benefit how the MCU is able to tell different stories. It is especially clear at the tail end of Phase 4, a very experimental and sometimes messy phase, that the MCU wants to expand its offerings in a variety of directions. This series is a prime example of how the studio can do this successfully. Perhaps some stern fans simply need to embrace stories as they come, rather than investing themselves fully in one idea of what the MCU is. “Wongers” will certainly prove to be practice for some to take things less seriously, but Daredevil’s eventual appearance in She-Hulk will surely be a real test.
In any event, after two episodes that fully embrace the format and structure, it seems obvious from this episode that the back half of the series is going to be even better than what we have already seen. Supporting cast, cameos, and one-off performances are all hitting at the same level, meaning the episodic and mini-story experience can thrive. If anything, She-Hulk has only had a couple of episodes to fully take advantage of that structure, and those couple of episodes were some of the MCU’s best television. With five more episodes to go, things are only looking up for the unique series.
While the last episode of She-Hulk, Attorney at Law was mostly focused on the grand return of Tim Roth‘s Emil Blonsky, the internet has been ablaze with excitement for the return of Benedict Wong‘s Wong. The character has had the most cameos since the start of Phase 4 with many fans even dubbing it the Wong Cinematic Universe as a recurring joke. Now, the character is getting his own Funko as part of the new She-Hulk collection.
As shared by Funko, we get a first look at what his new Funko will look like and it’s quite a fun design. Not only does he have the magical portal ring surrounding him but he also seemingly has magic weapons in his hand. As he didn’t have a fighting role in the last episode, it may be a hint that this is from an upcoming episode. So, we might get a bit more Wong action in the Disney+ series alongside She-Hulk in the near future.

It’ll be interesting to see who else we might get in Funko form, especially with just how many characters are being introduced in this Disney+ series. We still have quite a few episodes to go and with the tease of various iconic Marvel characters on the horizon, we’ll have to see if everyone will get a Funko. Daredevil seems like the obvious addition to get one, and given the hype surrounding Charlie Cox‘s return it does seem like Disney wouldn’t waste the chance to get that one out as fast as possible with his new yellow costume.
At the end of the episode, Jen is jumped by four men who wield the stolen tools of an Asgardian construction worker. The gang is apparently the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the supervillain team, the Wrecking Crew. The group first appeared in 1974 in The Defenders #17. Since then, however, the Wrecking Crew has primarily been associated as a villain to Thor, though they appear as adversaries in a wide variety of contexts in Marvel Comics.
Despite being construction-themed, the Wrecking Crew has a rather fantastical origin. The Wrecking Crew began in Marvel Comics with Dirk Garthwaite, a demolition worker whose violent upbringing made him equally unstable and violent. Dirk donned a mask and costume and assumed the criminal persona of “Wrecker,” causing mayhem at crime scenes with a crowbar. Wrecker’s crime spree one day brought him Loki, who was summoning his ally the Norn Queen to restore his magical power. Dirk was mistaken for Loki after stealing and wearing Loki’s helmet, and he was granted magical power in the form of superhuman strength and endurance.
Wrecker used his newfound power to carry out Loki’s command and battled Thor. Wrecker was defeated by the Destroyer armor after several attempts to kill Thor and was imprisoned. Wrecker eventually escaped from prison with three other inmates: Bulldozer, Piledriver, and Thunderball. The villain found his crowbar (which held his enchanted powers) and decided to share his power with his new crew of escapees. The Wrecking Crew was born when a thunderbolt hit the crowbar while all four held it.

In She-Hulk, the Wrecking Crew so far seems to be a rather puny, comedic version of the comics’ team. Though the group’s live-action origin is a nice nod to the heavy Thor-based comics crew, as they got their “abilities” by robbing an Asgardian construction worker of his enchanted tools. The Wrecking Crew members weren’t just looking for a fight with Jennifer Walters. Thunderball, wearing a ski mask, tries to inject her with what appears to be a blood sampling device. This opens the door for questions about the MCU Wreck Crew’s “boss” and what they want with Hulk blood.

The live-action Wrecking Crew has barely appeared in She-Hulk, so it is difficult to say if they will remain this fairly de-powered version of the classic comics team, or if they have more development later in the series. In She-Hulk comics, there is a comedic moment where the Wrecking Crew is imprisoned in the Big House, a Pym particle shrunken-down prison. Perhaps there is a chance for even more Ant-Man references in an MCU Disney+ series.
She-Hulk #5 (2004)
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is now streaming on Disney+.
With She-Hulk: Attorney at Law being well under way with its first season on Disney+, one of the standout characters fans have connected with is Emil Blonsky, a.k.a. Abomination. The character, of course, is played by Tim Roth, who returns to the role and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a reformed villain serving a prison sentence. It’s certainly not the way many expected to see the character return, and it turns out, the character very nearly had a different fate planned for him. When sitting down with IGN, the actor revealed what the original fate of Blonsky would have been after The Incredible Hulk.
I remember talking to Kevin [Feige] on set of [The Incredible Hulk] and Stan Lee as well. The idea was that they locked him up in a steel vault and sank it to the bottom of the ocean and left it there. So that when you found it at the beginning of whatever film that might have been… That’s where you found him. And he’d had time to think. About what he wanted to do and where he wanted to go.
Tim Roth
The idea of Abomination being locked in a confined space and submerged deep into an ocean could’ve led to a different adaptation of the character upon a return. However, Roth went on to further elaborate on how his position in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law still has some mirrors to this original fate.
Well in a sense they kind of did it in She-Hulk. He’s in isolation, dealing with his inner monster… and he’s been in a bubble… in a maximum security [prison] in total isolation, for many years. So now what do we get? Who is he? And the journey he goes on will possibly dance around the knife edge of ‘is he or isn’t he [reformed]?’ And I know I had some fun with him.
Tim Roth
The concept of reforming oneself has been ever prevalent with the character of Emil Blonsky and it’s interesting to see how Tim Roth has run with that character direction. Ultimately, it could be considered a surprise that Abomination returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after over a decade of not being mentioned. This is especially the case for a subversion of the villainous role. Roth spent some time discussing his feelings about his return and the nature in which he was brought back.
I laughed. I thought it was hilarious. When [Marvel] told me what they had in mind, I just laughed, I thought it was wonderful, and impossible, and mad… It also in a sense was nice because then I could revisit my kids’ childhood.
Tim Roth
It can be assuring to know that at least the performer behind the character has a positive experience for his time returning to this role. The first three episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law starring Tatiana Maslany as the titular character are now streaming on Disney+.
One of the biggest talking points coming out of the latest episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is the cameo appearance of Megan Thee Stallion. While the news was spoiled on social media just a few days prior to the episode release, it still has served as a pleasant surprise for a number of viewers. While sitting down with Entertainment Weekly, various members of the creative team discussed the process of how the star rapper’s cameo came to be. Head writer Jessica Gao talked about the challenge of deciding who would best fit this role and the relatively surprising name who pitched the idea of Megan Thee Stallion.
We didn’t even know that we could dream that big. When we wrote the script, all we knew was we needed to have a female celebrity who was very famous, very successful, and very beautiful. But we didn’t know if it was going to be an actress, or a model, or a musician. And depending on who it was, we knew we’d probably have to tweak the story a little bit to fit whoever we ended up casting…Jameela (Jamil) one day floated the idea of Megan and the moment she said that, and the moment we realized that that could be a possibility, we were like, ‘Stop everything. That’s it. The conversation’s done. We only care about Megan now. And if Megan will do it, then that settles it.‘
Jessica Gao
From this, it’s clear how much of an influence Megan Thee Stallion has had on the cultural zeitgeist and her epitomizing what the show was looking for in that role. Director Kat Coiro further elaborated on what made Megan a massively exciting option for the show’s creative team.
The character was scripted as a celebrity who never in a billion years would we believe would date Dennis Bukowski. When Jameela suggested Megan, we all lost our minds. She’s perfect on so many levels, just as a beautiful young celebrity who would never date Dennis Bukowski, but also as a powerful woman who embodies a lot of what She-Hulk embodies. And then it was a little cherry on top that Tatiana (Maslany) is the world’s biggest Megan fan. As soon as that name came up, there was nobody else.
Kat Coiro
The further notion of Tatiana Maslany being a massive fan of Megan Thee Stallion certainly helped elevate the scene in portraying Jennifer Walters’ undying adulation towards the rapper. And as learned in the interview, the feeling of love was mutual with Megan Thee Stallion towards Marvel Studios.
We found out that Megan loves Marvel and superhero stuff, so it was incredible. It really came together very quickly, and we didn’t even have time to stop and just stand in awe at the fact that this was actually happening. It was everyone’s dream come true, especially Tatiana.
Jessica Gao
Ultimately, the appearance of Megan Thee Stallion in this past episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law provided a large source of levity for not just the characters on screen, but the creative time sitting behind it. The third episode of the Disney+ was officially released on Thursday, September 1st.
