The first reactions to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law are in and the critics are loving Jen Walters’ Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
Following the series premiere, many audience members took to social media to share their thoughts on the latest installment in the expansive superhero franchise. Those in attendance widely noted that the show sets a new standard for the MCU’s burgeoning foray into the world of TV, praising star Tatiana Maslany’s dedicated and witty performance as a highlight. ScreenRant’s Molly Freeman wrote that while She-Hulk is “fully entrenched” in Marvel’s on-screen world, it’s still able to deliver a story that’s both fresh and new. Entertainment journalist Rob Keyes voiced similar thoughts, labeling Attorney at Law the MCU’s funniest series yet due to its unique meta style.
I’ve seen the first 4 episodes of #SheHulk & am happy to report they’re… incredible! Tatiana Maslany is GREAT as Jen Walters but my favorite thing is how fully entrenched She-Hulk is in the MCU while at the same time showing us something completely new. Can’t wait for more! pic.twitter.com/9RRL7MIVgN

I’ll start out my thoughts on #SheHulk by saying Tatiana Maslany as Jen Walters is an absolute revelation. The first episode is a bit of a slow burner, but the show grows stronger with every instalment. The mid credit scenes are perhaps the most amusing ones in Marvel history. pic.twitter.com/qHz7NRGGcN

I’ve watched the first 4 episodes of #SheHulk and it’s a great followup to Ms. Marvel, both upping the MCU quality and style on Disney+. She-Hulk is the funniest Marvel Studios content so far and has a refreshing take on the franchise lore and formula with its meta style. pic.twitter.com/JFhHL7aOo1

Marvel’s #SheHulk is a VERY funny legal procedural that’s lighter on action, but heavy on breaking the fourth wall. This is the most self-referential the MCU has ever been. Cameos & references galore + a dynamite Tatiana Maslany performance. Also, Tim Roth rules! pic.twitter.com/Sx3cDTVUa4
