Whats in a superhero name?
This week onShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law, the superpowered lawyer became the client.
At least as far as the court of law is concerned.
Titanias not smashing a city or snapping away half the population.
She just trademarked She-Hulk first and is now suing the woman who earned the title.
So she begins episode five annoyed and trying to ignore Titania, but its hard.
Jens boss, however, is outwardly displeased.
Thats our legal story this week.
Meanwhile, the B-story finds Nikki and Pug tracking down a superhero fashion designer for Jen.
We get to follow the return favor.
Nikki apparently decided behind Jens back that she needs a new wardrobe.
Seriously, Nikki decides to get her best friend/boss a new suit before Mallory tells her to do it!
Jen doesnt seem too bothered, but I am.
Thats not just being a proactive paralegal, thats being a micromanaging friend.
Its a good sight gag and ties back into the episodes legal storyline.
You cant be sued for misuse of a trademark if you arent properly spelling said trademark.
They eventually score a consultation with fashion designer Luke Jacobson, played byDear White PeopleandThe Flight Attendants Griffin Matthews.
Hes like James Bonds Q meets Emma Stones Cruella.
I need to know everything about his other clients ASAP.
Nikki returns, lawyer bestie in tow.
Hes rude to Jen but intrigued by the challenge: clothing that stretches to fit both her human selfandShe-Hulk.
That way, she can feel like herself no matter how tall.
Not to break ground here, but its hard being a woman!
You could have perfect hair and a fashion designer will still call you a hag.
Hes a … huh, we didnt actually catch his profession during the date last week.
Whats different is that Jen gets some validation from Mallory … and then another insult about her clothes.
Tony Award winner Renee Elise Goldsberry has shown up suspiciously infrequently onShe-Hulk Attorney At Law.
Its like theyre hiding something.
Maybe Todd works for her.
Why does he need a lawyer from a superhuman law division?
We dont get to see the suit or the something extra he made just yet.
Matt Murdock is coming, folks!
Legal Pad
We rarely see or think about who makes the outfits our heroes don.
Another Marvel hero who has commissioned a suit onscreen is, coincidentally, Daredevil.
But despite the drama, Matt and Melvin are friends and allies.
Why is Matt getting a makeover in Los Angeles?
What happened to Melvin?
Well have to wait until next week to find out.
As Marvel fans and cynics alike know, joining a superhero team is all about paperwork.
One of the court illustrations has a treasure trove of Easter eggs.
It shows Pug and Nikki picking up his Iron Man Three sneakers.
Did Kevin Feige have to sign off on sneaker designs?
Also, why didnt we get to see this scene?
Stop resolving plot lines with 2-D images,She-Hulk!
