Disney + | She-Hulk

[JPH]

They addressed this in the show. No one else would hire her. There was a whole montage about it. Maybe you skipped that part?

She's not a hero, she's trying to live her life as a lawyer. Aside from her cousin being someone he attacked a decade or more ago, there is no moral or ethical issue with her representing him. Her job is to represent a client to the best of her ability, even if she personally thinks he should not be free. We saw nothing that would make the case he shouldn't be free.

Hmmm, so aside from the crimes he committed a few years ago which included TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE INCLUDING HER COUSIN!?!?!

Um, *THAT* is a pretty severe crime.

whoring herself out as She-Hulk to defend the guy who tried to kill her cousin.

Clearly selling out morally and ethically.

Getting him set free!!

But she needed a job.

 

[NakedMoleRat]

That's not actually an indicator of anything. Lots of people work as professional contractors, bouncing from company to company because they make more by doing that than by staying long term at any one place as a permanent employee.

I think that many of you are missing the point I was making. I never said it was an indicator of anything. I simply used it as an example in his particular case that education does not equal intelligence.

 

[renaissance_man]

For those who aren't happy with the fourth-wall breaking (probably not Moonlighting fans, I'd guess), it has been suggested that there may be more going on with that than just joking around -- possibly something multi-verse related. I think there may be something to that, but we'll have to wait and see. I, personally, am glad they have included it either way. It strikes me that not including it with She-Hulk would be akin to having a Jedi in a show but having him never use or reference the Force.

SSB

Hinting at Mojo there maybe?

The justice system doesn't work how you think it should. If he can show that he's reformed or at the very least in control now, there is no reason to keep him in prison other than to satiate people's blood lust.

whoring herself out

Yikes.

Getting him set free!!

The parole board set him free based on the evidence presented. There is nothing immoral or unethical about this.

Well, you missed the part where she told her new (potential) boss she wasn't going to represent Emil, but then she caved when he told her it was a requirement. A good attorney would stand their ground.

Wow, you missed that scene! I know it was brief, but in the United States legal system, judges and attorneys are normally allowed to recuse (EDIT: Not accept or back) themselves from a case where they cannot be impartial. That's just a small part of how the system works. She let herself knowing be used.

So "Yes", she caved. Gave in, sold herself out, whored/prostituted out her skills. Morals and ethics were tossed aside for $$$.

So much for going back to just being a lawyer.

Throughout the episode she was referred to as the "She-Hulk" defending the Abomination, so, she is no longer just lawyering, she is now using her superhero status to help get the guy who tried to kill her cousin released.

Maybe you just need to watch the entire episode again.

And Emil tried to kill people, including her cousin, THAT is why he is in prison to begin with. Since she shouldn't have been representing him to begin with, the rest of the episode falls apart.

Emil is in prison because he tried to kill people. LOTS of People. If I recall correctly, he *did* kill some people.
Try Watching the Edward Norton Incredible Hulk movie.

The way you keep dismissing that Emil tried to kill many people is sadly ironic. You think trying to keep someone who tried to kill her cousin in prison is "bloodlust," the attempted murderer is the victim!?!? That kind of broken, moral kung fu don't work here.

 

[Bigdaddy]

WoW! We can't discuss a woman without using terms like "prostitute" and "whoring" when there's no actual equivocation?
That's the kind of rhetoric that makes people dismiss actual criticism and fall back on "it's all misogyny".

 

[Picard102]

She changed her mind once she heard his side of it. But we should all hold fast to our beliefs and opinions and never deviate no matter what new information comes to light.

In the US, an attorney has the option to not represent someone, there is no requirement that defence council be objective.

Again, she talked with him and changed her mind.

That's exactly what she's doing.

Throughout the episode she was referred to as the "She-Hulk" defending the Abomination, so, she is no longer just lawyering, she is now using her superhero status to help get the guy who tried to kill her cousin released.

She actively avoided it for the majority of it. The media calling you something doesn't make it so.

And Emil tried to kill people, including her cousin

All on his own right? No orders from the US government, or injections of destabilizing super soldier serum to send him into a tail spin? Nah, he just got up one day in England, flew over, and got involved on his own volition.

That kind of broken, moral kung fu don't work here.

You have no high ground to stand on here.

Ohhh, so her boss had a "conversation" with her.

Actually it was an ultimatum, far more extreme.

You call wanting to keep a murderer in prison "satiate bloodlust." Wow! Victimize the criminal.

When you can actually have a discussion without grossly mischaracterizing or dismissing the opposing argument, more people might actually try to communicate with you

do you know what year it is?
Even assuming you don't intend this to sound degrading and insulting, it's in poor taste.

Blonsky. But nice try.

You choose to ignore what the series has presented as facts for in his case and are backed up by the movie. But okay go on about how he needs to be in prison for life, but not Bruce.

You might try your own advice on for size.

Men or women can whore/prostitute themselves.

If you think that is exclusive to women, not my issue.

Think of Kevin Smith talking about how he was a big He-Man fan. I said the same thing when we found out he was lying.

Do you think accepting a job to free someone who tried to kill a family member is in good taste?

Knowingly being used, showed us that She-Hulk could be bought.

Actually, her boss told her she *had* to represent him.

Atleast watch the episode before you try to argue it

Cool story. Doesn’t change what I said. But feel free to twist it around now.

Taking it back huh? Good luck getting everyone to go along with that.

Even if it weren't a term loaded with gender bias, everyone's gotta eat and maybe we shouldn't be punching down.

Taking it back? No. What she did was clear.

I am not the one applying "gender bias."

Let the backpedaling begin lol.

ACTUALLY, what the boss said is "At least talk to him before you decide". And she did.

"If you don't take the case you don't have a job here."

That is boolean.

 

[Picard102]

"If you don't take the case you don't have a job here."

That is boolean.

And she took the job after she decided Blonsky had a legitimate case. Not simply because she wouldn't get the job.

 

[CB2001]

And she took the job after she decided Blonsky had a legitimate case. Not simply because she wouldn't get the job.

And after talking to Bruce, who actually has some history with Blonsky and is also an example of why Bruce was concerned about Jen being infected with his blood was founded (because he's the only person he knows that used his blood to become the Abomination, and was practically evil as a result).
