She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022) Trailer Review

Marvel has given us plenty of content on Disney+ over the last year and a half with the next show being She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The first official trailer hit the internet today and here is my review for it. 

Mark Ruffalo is back as Bruce Banner/Hulk 

This was always well known, but might as well start with it. Mark Ruffalo is back Banner and Hulk and it is more his design that is crucial here. He is in his professor Hulk guise from Avengers: Endgame which is slightly confusing. At the end of Shang-Chi, we saw Banner in his human form, which makes me question when it this show is set. Is it during the blip or is it after Shang-Chi and Banner has gone back to his Smart Hulk guise. 

Jennifer Walters is a lawyer for Super powered people. 

Tatian Maslany is playing Jennifer Walters and it is interesting that she is seen in her human form for quite a bit of this trailer. I expect some of this takes place before the accident that shows her powers but it seems to be a change that she isn't always green which I thought was the case in the comics once she gets her powers. 

The CGI is really bad

I am now getting to the elephant in the room and that is the CGI looks really bad. So far the Disney+ shows have had pretty good uses of CGI but this trailer's CGI looks awful. It feels like they should have gone a similar root to Gamora's green skin as it just looks incredibly fake here and really takes me out of it. Hopefully, it can be patched up and made somewhat better before the show actually comes out because it is a big let down at the moment. 

Tim Roth is back as Emil Blomsky/Abomination

We last saw The Abomination in Shang-Chi, but this show sees the return of Tim Roth as Blomsky himself. He seems to have a power dampening collar and he is potentially in the Raft that we have seen in a few MCU projects recently. It is so long since we have seen this character that this may be the thing I am most excited for here. 

Seems to be more comedic

The MCU is naturally more comedic then most shows and films but here it really seems to be at the forefront. I am fine with that as long as the show is well written and doesn't reduce itself to the most basic of jokes, which seems to be a worry already from the trailer. 

Overall

Overall, this trailer didn't do that much for me. The CGI is so bad that it was pretty jarring and the overall tone isn't one I was overly fond of. Though it is the MCU and I am hoping they can prove me wrong and give us a great show.
