‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ Season 1 Easter Eggs and References
Written by SOURCE on October 13, 2022
That escalated quickly.
For weeks, critics and fans gave the new She-Hulk: Attorney at Law series on Disney+ mixed reviews, at best. The jokes didn’t always land, and sometimes trivialized the characters. The CGI didn’t hold up; that’s what happens when visual effects artists are overworked and held to impossible deadlines. And the story felt disconnected—and not in a good way—from the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. Between the wedding, the spiritual retreat, and the misadventures in online dating, we got some nice vignettes, but it was difficult to see the bigger picture.
But Episode 8, “Ribbit and Rip It,” was a massive turnaround. Finally, we have dramatic, narrative stakes. Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) found the stress point where she nearly lost control of her Hulk side. And as her cousin, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), said in the series pilot: “When people start seeing you as a monster, that never goes away.”
Episode 8 also introduced Matt Morgan, aka Daredevil, to the MCU. Finally, we had a foil for Jennifer—one that understood her dual life, could trade barbs with her, and came with genuine, romantic chemistry. Even if this becomes nothing more than a setup for the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series, Matt uncovered facets of Jennifer that made her relatable and well-rounded. And ironically, this now feels more like “her show” than ever before.
The season finale drops on Thursday, Oct. 13. To prepare you, here are 43 She-Hulk Easter eggs and references you might have missed.
