Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian Lad and today I watched the final episode of She-Hulk at
0.25x speed and found 20 new details that you may or may not have seen before.
Now I know fans are pretty divided about the show but I'm gonna keep that aside for now
for the sake of this video.
I will however make an entire video essay explaining my thoughts on She-Hulk and how
this whole show could have been written so much better than it is.
I am a writer myself and that's all I used to do before I joined YouTube as a creator.
So I would hope I can give you some insights into how screenplays are written and what
really went wrong with She-Hulk in my opinion.
I'm not saying it's a bad show but it could have been so much better while keeping all
the comedic elements.
But that's for another video and that video might well be over 15 minutes, so I'd ask
you to please turn on the notification bell, so that when I have the video ready, you see
it immediately.
Now without wasting any more time, let's get into the details I found.
Number 1: The opening minutes of this episode are a nod to the opening of The Incredible
Hulk TV series from 1978.
Like, it's literally a frame by frame re-creation.
The Incredible Hulk reference is also perfect because She-Hulk was originally created by
Stan Lee in response to the popular TV series.
Basically, when The Incredible Hulk was airing in the late '70s, Stan Lee worried that the
production company behind the show would see an opportunity to create a spinoff with a
female character.
So, in order to stop this from happening, Stan Lee wrote Savage She-Hulk Issue #1, which
introduced Jennifer Walters.
And of course the intro ends with the title card, The Savage She-Hulk, which was the name
of the first She-Hulk comic from 1980.
Number 2: After Jen moves back in with her parents.
Notice, in her old bedroom there is a poster for Legally Blonde on the back of the door.
And over by the bed, there's another poster for Erin Brockovich.
A legal drama based on a true story.
This shows how Jen was always into lawyer-themed movies.
Now notice, this scene didn't look like this in the trailer though.
The trailer didn't have the poster for Erin Brockovich and the Backstreet Boys Black & Blue
album poster was also missing!
Number 3: When Jen is scrolling through her recent texts before she sends one to Emil,
we can see her most recent messages to Pug, Nikki, the "Office Peeps" group chat, and
a lil bit of Rickroll going on there.
Number 4: When Nikki posts the video of Jen dancing in college in order to lure HulkKing
out, notice one of the top comments reads, "So she spent law school dancing, instead
of studying."
Well, you can imagine that there's always comments like these on the internet, so that's
spot on!
Number 5: When She-Hulk literally breaks the fourth wall and moves from She-Hulk to Assembled,
Notice when she lands back on her feet, this scene is again slightly changed from the trailer
to hide spoilers.
Notice the background here.
The soundstage equipment was not shown in the trailer so that we don't figure out that
She-Hulk will literally break the meta wall.
Number 6: In the same scene, we can hear two people on the soundstage talking about the
Infinity Gauntlet and how a fake version was first seen in Thor as an Easter egg.
Number 7: As She-Hulk walks around, notice she's actually walking through the real-life
Disney Studios in Burbank, California.
As we can see the Mickey Mouse water tower and The Partners Statue in the Legends Plaza.
Number 8: On the sign for the She-Hulk production office on the Disney Studios lot, we can spot
our final QR code on the sign.
Once again giving us access to a free She-Hulk comic.
Number 9: When She-Hulk sneaks into the She-Hulk production office, we can spot the classic
Captain America "I want YOU" poster on the wall.
Number 10: In the She-Hulk writers room, we can see creator and writer Jessica Gao sitting
at the table as they discuss the finale.
She was the main writer of the show.
Number 11: On the whiteboard behind the She-Hulk writers, notice there are several ideas they
have for the She-Hulk finale.
Including "Gamma Goo," "There's something attractive about a man's knees," "Nanobots,"
and "In-CHED-Ible-Hulk,".
Number 12: When She-Hulk heads off to see K.E.V.I.N., she's again walking through the
real-life Marvel Studios offices in Burbank, California.
Number 13: When K.E.V.I.N.
makes a joke about She-Hulk being too expensive and she must transform back into Jen off-screen,
because the VFX team has moved onto another project, you can hear the Black Panther theme
there.
Now, of course, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is releasing in less than a month and this
was actually something funny that made me laugh, at this point Marvel was just making
fun of itself and I'm all for it.
Number 14: While Jen talks to K.E.V.I.N., notice there are many Marvel comics in a display
case.
Most notably, we can see America Chavez: Made in the USA Issue #1, an issue of She-Hulk
by Rainbow Rowell, and Scarlet Witch Issue #4, which is part of the iconic Witches Road
storyline.
Number 15: A couple of seconds later when Jen gives her closing argument to K.E.V.I.N,
we see another set of display cases of comic-books.
This time it has: Daredevil, Ms. Marvel, Captain America, and The Incredible Hulk comics.
Number 16: While fixing the finale, Jen says that we don't need to know what Hulk has been
up to in Sakaar and they should "save it for the movie,"
So Marvel is pretty obviously planting the seeds for the new World War Hulk movie, which
is established more prominently at end when Hulk introduces his son Skaar to the family.
So yes, a solo Hulk movie is definitely in development.
And I'm also just gonna throw it out there, that Hulk probably had a son when he lived
in Sakaar for 2 years between Age of Ultron and Thor: Ragnarok.
This is probably why he was called back to Sakaar in episode 1.
Number 17: When Wong appears to break Blonsky out of prison, Blonsky asks about the Wi-Fi
at Kamar-Taj.
This is a nod to the first Doctor Strange film where Mordo handed Stephen the Wi-Fi
password when they first met.
Number 18: Jen tells K.E.V.I.N that the finale should take place in Daytime.
This is something Kevin Feige advocates for as well, something that truly defined the
MCU as opposed to the DC Universe where most of the final battles take place at night-time.
Number 19: Jen gets fired from GLK&H as she can no longer turn into She-Hulk and there
we see she is packing her personal stuff.
Now notice the only item that was heavily focused was this mug that says "See you later
Litigator" which we saw back in episode 1.
So now seeing this again in the final episode after Jen gets fired, I guess the words really
came true, innit!
Number 20: At the end we see Titania using an iPhone.
Now if you're aware of Apple's policy, no villains or bad guys in films can use iPhones.
So the fact that we see Titania using an iPhone, means she was never written as a serious villain.
Well, this show wasn't written in a serious tone I guess, almost nothing had any repercussions
and almost nothing had any broader impact in the MCU.
And that's it, this would be my breakdown of She-Hulk episode 9 at 0.25x speed.
Now my next video is gonna be a very very important one, so I'd like to remind you all
again to turn notifications on, and grab the subscribe button if you haven't already!
See you lads in the next one!
