When we ordinary people encounter legal problems, we usually find lawyers to help, but if superheroes encounter legal proceedings, they need special lawyers to solve them; But who is the most powerful lawyer in the Marvel Universe?
The answer is not the super daredevil, but the blockbuster "female Hulk" Jennifer Waters.
Yes, you read that right, the female Hulk's "origin" is not small, as the cousin of the Hulk Bruce Banner, she came into contact with her cousin's blood in an accident, and as a result, her genes were mutated by the Hulk gamma gene, becoming a "female Hulk" who can transform into a green giant.
But even with superpowers, Jennifer still just wants to return to normal life and be a superhero who specializes in helping superheroes fight lawsuits.
However, the biggest difference between the female Hulk and the Hulk is that Jennifer would rather be an ordinary person and pursue legal justice in an intelligent way than become a superhero and solve it with brute force.
In other words, "Female Hulk" uses a vision closer to "ordinary people" to make the audience more empathetic by lowering the threshold.
At the beginning of the first episode, the heroine Jennifer faces the camera and talks about her transformation into a Hulk, a "conscious" way of interacting with the audience called "breaking the fourth wall".
This allows the dialogue between the characters and the audience to create a certain sense of intimacy, making it easier for us to understand Jennifer's "ordinary" thinking, and through this perspective, the public can better understand the superheroes, and then project into their world.
This "Female Hulk" is handled quite exquisitely.
In the original Marvel comics, "The Hulk" is also the first superhero to break the "fourth wall".
"Female Hulk" ushered in the finale last week, but I didn't expect that it was a fierce chaos, but the heroine Jennifer directly broke the "fourth wall" and jumped to real life and Marvel President Kevin Feige asked to delete the scene, which also made fans look stupid, "I have the feeling of being played like an idiot!" ”
Marvel's works have shown a downward trend in recent years, and "Ms. Marvel" has become the limit, even if "Night Werewolf" has improved slightly, it is still difficult to return to the courage of the past.
"Female Hulk" has become an expected work from the beginning of filming, after all, the independent story line of "Hulk" is very attractive.
But because of the copyright problem has not developed since "The Incredible Hulk", just in Marvel's "Ms. Marvel" performance failure, and rumors of a salary cut for special effects artists, etc., the release of "Female Hulk" believes that no one except "Marvel fans" will look forward to it too much.
From the first episode, Marvel seems to save time to tell a bloody plot, the two brothers and sisters encountered a car accident, blood exchange, it happened that the cousin's DNA had a special factor, and they became a female version of the Hulk.
Even if you are blue, you don't have to study and struggle with your mind, you can already control your superpowers.
This is obviously different from the original comic book about Jennifer being hunted down by gangsters, and Bruce donated blood to save her and caused the origin of the body mutation, but in order to speed up the progress of the plot, the relevant changes are justified.
Marvel advertised this as a "legal comedy" in advance, describing the balance between superheroes in their identities, careers and private lives, and adding a lot of jokes about "breaking the fourth wall".
However, after watching a whole season of "Female Hulk", it is difficult to see how the heroine has grown, not to mention those "embarrassing to cancer" jokes, worse stunts than "Ms. Marvel", even if it is a unit drama, it is extremely embarrassing to watch.
Compared with the contemporaneous drama "Vampire Life", which describes the life of this "non-human" in the world, this joke is not even as good as the kindergarten level.
Even if several new Marvel works are frequent, there are no large-scale action scenes to speak of, this one is handsome with a legal comedy theme, and deliberately wants to add some action elements, all of which are scratching their boots, like homophonic terriers, and the focus of the episodes is completely different, it seems like East and West.
But both for the continuation of the Marvel story, "The Hulk" forcibly messes into the character cameo, every appearance has no beginning and no end, and even the inherent world view is difficult to play, continuing to challenge the audience's tolerance limit.
Even if the finale "breaks the four walls" to a super perfect interpretation, there is indeed a certain surprise, but behind the strong self-mockery, it is still difficult to hide its strong "Low" taste, but one thing can not be interpreted, it is better to create an overwhelming topic with self-mockery, "self-mockery" after not as obvious a story line as "Deadpool", only feel that the existence value of these 9 episodes is experimental.
This attitude of winning by quantity is inevitable.
Because probably even the top management of Marvel does not believe that they need to create ironclad heroes and enough exciting characters like Captain America. Under the increasingly complex worldview, let alone delineate the deep feelings of the 6 founding heroes.
The Big Six each has a successor, and "Iron Man 2" will be brought out after "Black Panther 2". Black Widow sister, Hawkeye's apprentice, Thor's adopted daughter, and even the Hulk's kind have appeared, plus the long-lined new Captain America, the previous generation gradually faded out, but new people emerged.
It's impossible to give people the feeling of being alone in the previous generation, which could be a good thing for film company owners.
In the previous generation of Marvel, the loss of Iron Man and Captain America was an irreparable loss.
In other words, actors can be said to hold the power of life and death, and what sky-high remuneration they make, investors must also accept it.
In the second generation of Marvel rivers and lakes, no one can not be replaced, the dominance falls back into the hands of the capital, you can use the attitude towards computer stunt companies, and treat the actors the same.
Jessica Gao, the famous screenwriter who first cooperated with Marvel and wrote the script of the series, revealed in an interview with foreign websites that when he wrote "Female Hulk", he attached great importance to the integrity of the series and did not leave a hand in the development of the plot everywhere as a foreshadowing for the second season of the series.
Gao Yang does not deny the possibility of the series starting a second or more quarters, but according to the policy of Marvel's fourth phase of development, each series will be used as the basis of the movie, and the form of the film will be expanded in the form of the film as the main and the series as the supplement.
Although the fourth and fifth phase shooting plans announced by Marvel at the San Diego Comic Comic-Con earlier did not mention works related to Metamorphosis Doctor.
However, before the two Avengers movies in the final chapter of the fifth phase, there is still a considerable space for Hulk or Hulk-related films.
Time has changed and women's rights have risen, and Disney Studios has followed the trend and launched superhero films or series starring Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye and Echo, the latest example is the release of "Hulk".
In order to prevent Jennifer from losing control of her mind and causing serious damage after she transformed, Bruce decided to take her to a secret laboratory in Mexico for psychological counseling and special training.
Bruce said that the base was built by him and "Iron Man" Tony Stark during the "Avengers 3" treacherous corner Thanos (Thanos) to wipe out half of the universe's population, the two co-built, and the words showed reluctance and nostalgia for Tony Stark's heroic sacrifice, I believe many fans also feel the same.
Jennifer proved to be more talented as a superhero than her cousin.
Whether in terms of emotional control, transformation speed, and even combat effectiveness, she is blue.
Bruce had nothing to teach, so he had to let her leave Mexico and return to the United States to continue her practice, officially starting a second life as a lawyer and a superhero.
By the way, the film rights to the Hulk have been owned by Universal Pictures for the past 15 years, and Marvel Studios is only working together on a mutually beneficial basis.
"Borrowed" to shoot its productions such as "Avengers" and "Thor" series, which explains that since 2008, Marvel has not filmed a personal movie or series for this character for many years.
However, with the expiration of the Universal contract next year and the expected return of copyright to Marvel, the situation will change completely.
The first episode of "The Hulk" appeared in the picture of the Sack spaceship, which may be a major foreshadowing for the reappearance of the new work of "Hulk".
So before talking about "Female Hulk", let's talk about another set of MCU productions - "Fantastic 4".
Like "Spider-Man", "Fantastic 4" has filmed 2 series before joining the MCU.
It is said that "Fantastic 4" will also imitate "Spider-Man: No Home", assuming that the audience is already familiar with this, directly delete the source of the hero.
The first 2 series of "Spider-Man" had excellent box office results, avoiding the audience from repeating and repeating watching, and the movie was stuffy, which is beyond reproach and proved to be a success.
However, the first 2 series of "Fantastic 4" ended in failure, and the number of viewers is far less than that of "Spider-Man", which also has to be deleted? Rather than being afraid of a dull audience, MCUs are advancing more and more urgently.
Maybe the original fans or Marvel fans have to wear and support it anyway, but no matter from which angle you look at it, it is an inferior drama, and there is no talk of feminism or correctness of thought here, but the whole show is extremely experimental, but there is no experiment in the air, but none of the experiments can be successful, and even the basic observability cannot be filmed.
I would like to state here that I am not a fan of comics, I think a successful work must first make the audience who have not seen the original work not be "cold bench", after all, the story is to be introduced to the audience in front of the screen; If you have not read the original comics, original novels, and played the original games, it is difficult to substitute into the work, which is the embodiment of failure.
Therefore, fans support that "Female Hulk" has a large number of comic Easter eggs, but these so-called Easter eggs are only "fighting" nature, such as the function of Easter eggs is only "self-hi" rather than the needs of the series, which only makes the plot more lengthy and boring.
In addition to the Easter eggs of the comics, "Female Hulk" also publicizes in advance that there will be a large number of MCU character Easter eggs installed in the plot.
Almost all episodes of "The Hulk" have characters from other works running out to make cameos, but the effect is extremely low, and even the basic "starlight" effect cannot be done.
I am fully looking forward to the evil of "The Incredible Hulk" will become the key to the plot, and will explain what happened in a fierce battle scene in "Shang Qi Ten Rings", how can it be that it is just a dispensable supporting role.
And the super daring man who almost became the focus of the series has become a nonsensical and anti-intellectual character, making the series seem to be "bringing new people".
Even if "Female Hulk" is the protagonist, it can be regarded as the origin story, and the acting is also godless, the story of each episode, the case of each episode, the style of filming is different, and all elements want to be included, and it is difficult to see how the characters have grown and how to balance in the face of these extraordinary abilities.
To shoot a "non-human" unit plot, you can also shoot lively, as mentioned at the beginning of the article "Vampire Life" at the same time is the best example.
However, these life points are mediocre, even if it is a "legal comedy", apart from the placement of a large number of extraordinary characters, it is impossible to see what attraction between the various cases and what the so-called lawyer has solved.
The audience only looks at this "shapeshifting woman" as a mess regardless of work, feelings, and private life, and it is really difficult to say what character characteristics this character has, making the series seem to contain all elements, but in fact none of them are successful.
MCU has always strived to create a complete world view, and it seems that "Female Hulk" is paved out, and it is difficult to be as cautious as other works.
"Female Hulk" is the first drama in the MCU without an obvious villain, and don't expect any action scenes, even "Ms. Marvel" is more than that, but in the absence of action scenes, if this drama really wants to be described by "comedy", it is also disappointing.
The whole drama constantly squeezes the audience to laugh, but many jokes are boring and funny, and the way of deliberately "breaking the four walls" many times is even more abrupt and patient, which is difficult to make the audience laugh like "Deadpool" and take into account the development of the series.
The exaggerated jokes forcibly implanted are really embarrassing to watch, and I can't help but wonder which "genius" of Marvel will think of this rotten script, and where did Kevin Feige run?
When you watch life and only look forward to how the series will end, there is a surprising ending.
"Female Hulk" created a long-lost Marvel hot topic.
When the series got out of control to the point of no return, the female Hulk successfully performed "Breaking the Four Walls" to the most perfect interpretation, even more than "Deadpool", stunned; In a somewhat scoundrel way, explain why the first 8 episodes sucked so badly.
And Marvel also came up with the most obvious self-mockery, telling the audience that they have always paid attention to the opinions of netizens, and it is better to answer the audience in one episode.
Such an astonishing statement, to some extent, really convinces you. It is often said that "winter to the end is spring", if the series has "come to the end", it is better to use this violent way to end, at least win the audience's topic.
If the best way to solve the problem is to solve the person who raised the problem, then the best way to solve the rot is to solve the source of the rot, which is indeed a very creative "rotten" method.
However, even if this "unraveling" method makes the finale of "Female Hulk" win the topic, can it really solve the "rottenness" of the entire story?
In fact, this is not either, the female Hulk continues to live as usual, the timeline continues to run, and then a cheesy "Fast and Furious" series BBQ ends, which is a little too embarrassing.
All in all, "Female Hulk" must be another bad work for Marvel, only better than the super fun of the ending, about to save a little score, the overall is more good than "Ms. Marvel".
The plot without gravity and too experimental flavor makes the whole drama overly jumpy, nondescript, funny and ugly to see the growth of the characters, not to mention the inferior visual effects.
I'm like many people, the unified superhero theme does not have to shout and kill, no villain can be a superhero story, but this drama can't even shoot the basic character personality and growth, I only feel that a group of mentally retarded people are noisy, and in the end it ends in this way.
This way of closing is to hit a group of blind "Marvel fans" in the face at any time, it turns out that even Marvel knows that this is a bad drama, and it is really called "Marvel fans" who blindly support can be embarrassing.
"Female Hulk" heroine Tatiana Maslany is also an acting school, such as David Gordon Green's performance of "Strong" is unforgettable, full of thinking that Jennifer will win more applause for her, it seems to have become a very embarrassing work in her acting career, which is really a pity.
Speaking of character cameos, the most surprising character you can see in the first two episodes of this show is the appearance of "Super Dare"!
Chief screenwriter Gao Yang also couldn't believe that Marvel would allow them to use the role of "Super Dare" in the show, for which he said: "I really can't believe that Marvel will allow us to use the role of Super Daredevil, it's really cool and fantastic!" ”
But that's all I should praise...
