Since the first teaser for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was released, some fans have argued that Jennifer Walters' Hulked-out form is akin to Shrek. Yes, the Dreamworks character brought to life by Michael Myers in the hit animated franchise.
While there's no denying that the Disney+ series' visual effects aren't flawless, She-Hulk looks pretty sensational on a TV budget. For whatever reason, the character looked phenomenal in the premiere (and no doubt more along the lines of what she'll look like in a movie), but the scenes of the hero behind her desk, for example, need a little work.
Even acknowledging this, to say the MCU's She-Hulk is even remotely close to Shrek in terms of her appearance is baffling, and at this point, more than a little redundant.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has already taken aim at the trolls who have attacked the series for featuring a female lead, and today's fifth instalment appeared to hit back at those Shrek comparisons. When Jen arrived in court to battle Titania over the "She-Hulk" trademark, the superpowered influencer greeted the superhero by saying, "Nice suit, Shrek."
It's possible this zinger was always planned as a way for Titana to belittle her newfound foe, but we can't help but wonder whether this line was added as a way of taking a fun shot at those who have dubbed the MCU's She-Hulk "Shrek."
Ultimately, She-Hulk was victorious over Titania in court. We don't think that will be the end of it, though, and a proper showdown between these two is no doubt inevitable at this stage. As for Jen, the lawyer really seems to be struggling with how differently her two sides are being perceived by those around her.
