Feige’s recent comments on She-Hulk: Attorney at law These facts are proof.

The series was supported by the producer. telling Entertainment Weekly, “She-Hulkfor example, was an experiment: ‘Let’s just do a legal comedy.’ What if Ally McBeal was a superhero? How do we do a legal sitcom with an incredibly expensive CG character in the middle of every episode? And I couldn’t be happier with the tone that Jessica Gao has set for that.  It’s a very different tone than many of other projects have, and that was totally intentional.”

This tone was confirmed as a “f*** you” Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk): To Marvel’s past fans

Variety is what we should be talking about Maslany was interviewed by the outlet following the series’ conclusion. “Were you expecting to face the trolls when you signed on for the show?”

She replied, “Reading the script, it was so true. There’s so much resistance to a woman just existing in that space of superheroes. There’s always going to be that. I sort of anticipated it.”

“It’s why I also feel it’s important. There’s such an entitlement to space held by certain people, and to even exist as She-Hulk is like a fuck-you, and I love that,” She continued.

Answering another question regarding the final tackling “some of the exact same trolling comments that Marvel fans have been making,” Maslany stated, “Jessica Gao is a genius and knows about the culture we’re living in and her position in it when she’s writing these stories about a woman superhero. She knows what that response is going to be.”

“As a cast, it was delightful sending each other these troll responses, like ‘Oh my god, give them a week and then they’re going to literally see this pop up verbatim in the show and become the villains of the show.’ It was thrilling,” Variety interviewed her.

Gao revealed that the show’s purpose was to troll the viewers.

Variety asked her. “How did it feel to accurately predict what the trolls would be saying?” Gao replied, “Our writers room opened three years ago. The fact that we were able to predict what the reaction was going to be, what a lot of the trolling comments were going to be, really shows how very tired and unoriginal these trolls are.”

“That really tickled me because the little troll that lives inside of me really loves trolling the trolls,” she declared.

Variety was also informed by Kat Coiro (director of the series). “One thing I noticed is that at the beginning of the series, I was getting a lot of nasty, mean comments. As it’s gone forward, that has stopped. I think it’s because now they realize when they target us, they’re playing directly into our hands.”

“And we called, which is very gratifying. It is so satisfying. Negative comments are always taken as engagement. People who are so angry are likely to be paying attention. All of it is positive to me.
