SHE-HULK Writer Dan Slott Defends Disney+ Series As The "Most Comic Book Accurate Show In The MCU"

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has come in for a lot of criticism for various reasons, but writer Dan Slott believes the divisive Disney+ series is the "most comic book accurate show in the MCU."

While most seem to view She-Hulk: Attorney at Law as the silly, fun superhero comedy it's always presented itself as, some feel the show's more light-hearted, at times "goofy" tone is somewhat at odds with other MCU projects, and the series has come in for a lot of criticism for a perceived lack of faithfulness to its source material.

While one could argue that certain aspects of the Disney+ show - its depiction of Daredevil, for example - took a few liberties with the comics, from a tonal standpoint, it was quite similar to the majority of writers' interpretation of the Emerald Amazon.

Now, Dan Slott, who has penned more issues of She-Hulk than anyone else, has chimed in to defend Attorney at Law from backlash, referring to it as the "most comic book accurate show in the MCU."

Something else that seemed to rub a lot of people the wrong was the now infamous "twerking" scene, which saw She-Hulk bust out a few gyrations with Megan Thee Stallion.

What do you guys think? Are some of the criticisms valid, or do you share Slott's view of the show? Be sure to drop us a comment down below.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law follows Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk. The nine-episode series welcomes a host of MCU vets, including Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong. The cast also includes Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass and Renée Elise Goldsberry. Executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Kat Coiro and Jessica Gao. Co-executive producers are Wendy Jacobson and Jennifer Booth.

All episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law are now available to stream on Disney+. There's been no word on a second season.

It is the most comic accurate show in the MCU. It was still bad though.

@MosquitoFarmer - Yes. Because I didn't like She-Hulk that clearly means my parents didn't love me enough.

Good lord lol. Why do people like you get so offended by people not liking the same things you do?

comic-accuracy doesn't matter if the actual quality of writing is sub-par

@tmp3 - True, but he's not argueing the quality of the show, just the statement of it not being "comic accurate". Which unfortunately is the go to move by many people who say they don't like something but can't explain why.

I was not a fan of She- Hulk as a show overall, although I do like Tatiana as the character. I just don't think that style of comic fits as a show foe me.

@LongMayHeReign - i think the show would have benefitted from a stronger writer's room. they should have tried getting someone from fleabag, since that kind of perfected the "fourth-wall breaking snarky female lead" formula

@tmp3 - Very true point... IF the topic wasn't She-Hulk being criticized for a lack of comic accuracy.

@tmp3 - Honestly that's really dependent on the person as for a silly quirky farcical show about She Hulk/Jen dealing with personal issues and out there court cases I felt it worked fine. I mean the writing's main point was to be funny and I found most of it funny. Feels like a lot of people were annoyed at it for trying something different especially at the ending even though they were the FIRST people annoyed at the standard Marvel formula. Like seriously do people complain about Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law for having out there even sometimes random insane kind of endings cause that's more the vibe this show is going for.

"People arguing the twerking scene in #SheHulk wouldn't have happened in the comics...
Byrne had She-Hulk jumping rope in a bikini.
I had her karaokeing, dancing, & partying so hard it was causing structural damage to Avengers Mansion."


No, idiot, people were pointing out her hypocrisy, in one episode she was complaining about men staring at her and catcalling her, in another episode she was shaking her ass in a public setting for everyone, including men, to see.

@IronMan616 - so because she shake her ass that give someone the right to catcall you?

@IronMan616 - She was in her office with Stallion. And even if she wasn't, do you really not see any difference in those scenarios you just outlined?
