thatjayjustice: As a lifelong She-Hulk fan (I love her comics, animated & video game appearances), cosplayer (she was one of my very first cosplays!), performer(I’ve been She-Hulk on video as well), and cover model (yep that’s me as She-Hulk on Marvel Comics’ A-Force #1) I could not be more excited to see her finally making a live-action appearance. Is it going to be somehow exactly like the comics? Lmao nope, that is not possible. No matter how you look at it, the MCU is literally an alternate universe to the comics’ 616 universe. Marvel didn’t have legal film rights to half the characters that make the comics what they are when the MCU started. So there is no way they could tell the same stories in the same way. At any rate, it was never meant to be a 1-to-1 adaptation. It was always going to be its own thing. And that’s okay. I’ve always seen live-action adaptations of beloved books & games as highly funded licensed fanfiction. It’s a version of a thing we love in a different format, made to be digestible for a massive audience that may not be familiar with the source material. I would love for all my faves’ live-action versions to look exactly the way they do in my favorite iteration of the comics. But there are so many versions that no matter what they do, somebody’s gonna be unhappy about it. I think the most important thing that any version of She-Hulk should have is her humor, her attitude, and everything that makes her comics FUN. As long as they bring that Shulkie vibe I’m here for whatever version of her we get. Tatiana Maslany is a fantastic actress and I look forward to seeing her take on Jen. The writing is really where this show needs to shine IMO. And even if it’s not perfect, we’ll always have the comics <3 image descriptions:1.
