That’s not the same Titania I remember
The first episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is out, and while the reception of the show has been split, I quite enjoyed the show. However, one bit of the episode does have me quite confused and both frustrated. What part is that? Read on, true believers.
Towards the end of the episode breaks into the courtroom where Jennifer Walters is about to give her closing argument. Urged by her friend Nikki, Jen transforms into She-Hulk and puts down this woman just as quickly as she started causing damage.
Now, those who read Marvel’s comic books will realize that this character is Titania, played by Jameela Jamil. The very same Titania that has given She-Hulk plenty of trouble throughout the years, ever since her introduction.
However, keen eyes will notice that this is a different Titania from the comics. Which explains why Jen was able to flatten her in no time flat. So what gives? In the comics, Titania (Mary MacPherran) and her friend Marsha Rosenberg (Volcana) received powers after encountering Doctor Doom, who used a device to grant them their newfound powers. Going further, Titania started lifting weights to gain even more power. Eventually, she powered up so much that she could rival She-Hulk, though that has changed throughout the years.
Titania was able to burst through the courtroom wall easily in the first episode. Meaning she already has her powers. The same powers as She-Hulk; Super Strength and Invulnerability. So, why was She-Hulk able to knock her down with just a single courtroom table, followed by a punch? I’m still trying to understand that. The Titania, I know, would have gotten back up. What is going on?
Have they changed Titania’s powers and how she received them? We’ve already seen a slight variation of her Jennifer Walters received her powers, but still faithful to the comics. Jen’s life wasn’t in danger, but she still managed to get some of Bruce Banner’s blood, mixing with her own. What gives?
Regardless, I’m looking forward to seeing some epic fights between her and She-Hulk. As for our review, of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, we’ve decided to wait until all of the episodes have been released. Then we’ll pass our judgment.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law airs on Disney Plus every Thursday, and of course, the only way to watch it is by subscribing to the streaming service.
