Jennifer Walters: She-Hulk Appreciation 2022

[phonogram12]

Catching up on a little bit of the Titania discourse from a page or so back. I'm a huge fan of hers in the comics (she's basically the only comics character I ever post about anymore, and I mod the Titania subreddit, which hardly anyone ever posts on but me), but at the end of the day, I think the character as she exists in the comics just wouldn't "pop" as much on the show.

On a basic level, she's essentially an angry bruiser villain, which in & of itself is not really all that interesting for a TV show in 2022, IMO. The things that make her great in the comics are her backstory, her relationships with other characters, and the growth & little quirks she's been given in almost 40 years of being a minor villain-turned-sometimes-protagonist, who is often written in a sympathetic way. Tough to translate all that to a short season of TV that already had a lot to juggle. The "shallow influencer" character had better immediate storytelling potential for this show and its tone.

This is pretty much the way I saw it.

I'm also not surprised or disappointed that she wasn't the main villain of the season. In most TV shows, the Big Bad for a season gets defeated or killed in the season finale, and we never hear from them again. If we as fans want her to get long-term screentime, it is way better for us for her to be more of a recurring antagonist/supporting character who keeps showing up to make Jen's life miserable. This way there's potential for her to get similar treatment to what she gets in the comics.

If the show returns, I somewhat expect (and hope) that some elements of comics Skeeter will get added to the MCU version. I speculated on Reddit that the David Otunga character who she left with in that one episode, could possibly end up becoming MCU Absorbing Man. They could easily give her the exact same Shooter/Slott bullying backstory on the show (minus the Secret Wars/Doom part), flesh her out, introduce Volcana if they really wanted to, etc. Maybe her ditzy persona is just an act that she puts on. I would also be not surprised if they eventually become frenemies like they currently are in the comics.

Could you imagine if Titania is really Peter Parker's sister? This would explain why she could never beat Spider-Man. I would love to see Titania and Creed team up with Spider-Man and She-Hulk as this would be an interesting adventure. Don't you agree?

Sounds goods to me. Always great to see more Marvel women

I love Elena Casagrande's art so this is pretty nice .

Just missing Wasp.

I wonder why? Thought it might be as she doesn't have a book, but a) she actually DOES right now, albeit just a mini (issue 3 just solicited), and b) a lot of others also lack books. Silk, Spider-Woman, Ghost-Spider and Ms. Marvel could all be used on Amazing Spider-Man (as the first three are spiders and Kamala is currently part of Peter's supporting cast). Jane Foster Valkyrie could be used on Avengers, Shuri on Black Panther, Storm, Rogue and Psylocke on any of the X books. She-Hulk's, Captain Marvel's and Scarlet Witch's would be on their own books. Which just leaves America Chavez - maybe use hers on a Marvel Voices anthology?

Maybe it's because they share the same first name but Bartel draws an amazing Jen !

No review for the last She-Hulk comics ? I was very critical of this series, but I must admit that the last two issues are really good. It looks like Rainbow Rowelle finally found the balance between action, romance and the She-Hulk universe, I hope it will continue in this direction, but for now it's the best comic of this arc. I hope it's not "too little too late" and that everyone has dropped this comics.

I saw the latest issue of She-Hulk. With that ending, Jennifer might have some new members added to her rouges gallery and I'm all for expanding a rouge's gallery. They certainly took some elements from the recent She-Hulk show, but I liked those elements more here. Especially concerning the villain's plan.
