She Hulk – By Titania
Jen and the team investigate Titania’s new business and find out that she is using She-Hulk’s name to make a lot of money. They also learn that She-Hulk is not happy with this situation and wants to get her revenge on Titania.
Jen shows up to see Titania, demanding she take down her website. Titania doesn’t take the demand seriously and Jen tries to figure out what to do next. She contemplates taking Titania to court. ..
Nikki shows up to see a guy called Alonzo who happens to be a Drip Broker. She shows up at a Boba Cafe, where Nikki speaks Chinese to the worker. Although he’s not Chinese, he takes the duo to the backroom and shows off bootleg Avengers stuff.
Nikki manages to set up a meeting with Alonzo to help out Jen’s clothing situation, while Jen explains what’s going on with the She-Hulk brand. Her boss is quick to point out that this is a problem and the law firm need to work quickly to rectify it. Jen admits that she never thought about trademarking the She-Hulk name (I mean, she hated it to begin with, right? Why not just choose another name?) ..
Jen is told that she needs to countersue and establish that she was using the name of She-Hulk in a professional capacity before the trademark date, and that Titania is profiting off name recognition. Jen is also told to straighten up, in need of a new set of clothes. ..
Titania’s lawyer makes some good points in court, including how Jen’s interest in the She-Hulk name only became a point of contention when Titania started profiting off of it. They even have footage of her saying “I will not answer to that, as it’s not my name.” To counter this, Jen’s lawyer shows another video of her claiming this is her name and she’s embraced it. ..
On Thursday, the judge tells Jen she needs to come up with more instances of her using that name willingly. Jen realizes, with horror, that she has to parade all the men she dated in front of the courtroom in order to prove her point.
The hot doctor guy is back and he admits that he’d never date Jen as she’s not his type. The judge sides with Jennifer and she’s allowed to continue with her She-Hulk name while Titania is forced to cease business using this name. Jen is presented as the victim here, and her lawyer tells her she can “do better. You deserve better.”
Jen heads back to see Alonzo to pick up her suit, but we don’t actually see it. The episode ends with us catching a glimpse of the new daredevil mask, as it seems Matt Murdoch is also one of Alonzo’s clients. ..
The Episode Review
The legal drama in “She-Hulk” episode 5 is poorly written. It would be difficult to stop paperwork that has been filed legally, and would need to be approved in the first place. ..
The comedy was nonexistent again, minus one quip toward Shrek which was a nice self-aware dig at how bad the CGI can look at times, while Jen had no character development. There was a glimmer of hope in the courtroom, when Jen learned that this doctor didn’t want to date Jen because she wasn’t his type…before that was immediately dismissed and Jen returned to her usual demeanour. ..
The show’s recent episodes have been disappointing, with the writers seemingly going out of their way to make Daredevil look bad. Given what they’ve done with other characters, I don’t have much hope that they’ll do justice to Daredevil. ..
This show has been a disappointment so far.
