The only time I read SHE-HULK was when John Byrne was writing and drawing it. And I only remember her being in her Shulkie form not transforming. And that's how I liked it. As She-Hulk, she was a bit taller and more muscular than others (a Marvel Big Barda), but green.
I really don't care for computer generated and motion captured characters. Whenever possible, I would just like to see the actor playing the character on set--without that filter between me and the performance. But I do like Tatiana Maslany. Are there no Alpha Flight characters she could play? We never seem to get Canadian actors playing Canadian characters.
Well, obviously, given her skillset from "Orphan Black," she could play Aurora who has (had? I haven't been keeping up) dissociative identity disorder.
I'm happy to hear about this casting. Maslany is amazing and deserves something high-profile. (although Alison Brie would have been awesome too) I'm most curious now about how they plan to pull off She-Hulk's look. The thing about her character has been that she's traditionally where Professor Hulk was - totally comfortable with her Hulk self (though less so with her human self) and spends almost all her time in Hulk form. I wonder if they'll keep to that on the show.
She-Hulk will probably look a lot different than her civilian self.
I mean, in the comics there is very little resemblance between Jen and her She-Hulk form.
I think that would look really goofy unless it's just very briefly while she's in the middle of a transformation.
If she's not there by her first transformation, I assume she will be by the end of the series.
I'm expecting a very brief "Savage" She-Hulk.
I am really worried for what direction they are going to take with She Hulk in the series. I am really worried they are not going to want to spend the money for the good effects on She Hulk and have her spend most of her time as Jen Walters instead with She Hulk only showing up a few minutes and episode. Being She Hulk all the time and liking it is a big part of the reason people love the character (and why most hate the current savage She Hulk). She is supposed to be a fun character and I just have a bad feeling she is going to come off as Bruce Banner lite here all angsty and angry.
She-Hulk is such a great character. I am very curious to see how this show works out. I have not seen any of Maslany's work, but I have only heard good things about it.

Although I doubt this will be a Lou Ferigno type of appearance per episode, its kind of a funny thing about actors. They actually want to appear in things they act in. Oddly enough, that aligns perfectly with most audience expectations.
There's a reason that Iron Man, Spider-Man, Ant Man, Black Panther, and many others have masks that dissolve in and out of existence. It's so the actors can be seen at pivotal moments. How else would you explain Black Panther showing his face in the middle of a battle royal to tell Hawkeye "Give it to me." Or Iron Man removing his helmet just to snap his fingers.
Phenomenal casting in terms of acting. She has proven she can handle the acting part. The rest is up to the writers and effects department to make it a hit.
