According to a fresh leak, Marvel Studios is ready to give a second chance to a Disney + series which was however destroyed by viewers, even before its release.
We cannot say that Disney + is reluctant to produce Marvel series, in addition to the countless films intended for dark rooms. However, apart from one or two television shows, the investment has not really paid off. Criticisms flew, and still flew elsewhere, for several reasons. Sometimes very clear-cut negative opinions that made people react. The SVOD giant wants to achieve fewer things… and bet everything on quality. Efforts that will probably be seen over time, or not, and even the most controversial series should benefit from it.
New episodes for this rolled Disney+ Marvel series
After an icy reception of a game, a series or even a film, we do not necessarily expect to see a sequel. But in some cases, creators persist in trying to make a better copy. And that’s probably what will happen for a Disney + series that has been demolished by subscribers, and fans of the MCU for short. What is it? Moon Knight? Hawkeye? Miss Marvel? None of these three. No, the platform’s much-criticized TV show is none other than She Hulk.
The presence of the sparkling and very talented Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) was not enough to save the Disney+ series from sinking. We will obviously pass over comments of the type “it sucks because it’s a woman”, for a character who is as much feminine as masculine at the base, in order to retain only the real problems raised. The disastrous quality of the special effects and the humor that was not to everyone’s taste.
Well in spite of all this, know that a season 2 of She Hulk: Lawyer could be announced by Disney+ in the coming months. At least that’s what MyTimeToShineHello argues. “She Hulk Season 2 is in development. Or should I say it will be after the writers and actors strike” (via Twitter). To be taken with a pinch of salt, but director Jessica Gao hopes to extend the adventures of the green giant. “I can’t answer for sure because it’s Kevin Feige who decides what happens with the Marvel universe. But I hope that we will still be entitled to Marvel adventures with She-Hulk. The end of this episode of season 1 will leave you wondering…” declared the main interested party at the microphone of Allociné.
A season 2 for She Hulk, good or bad news?
A season 2 for She Hulk, a good or bad idea from Disney+? The first reactions are sometimes murderous… “Okay, du Suddenly I hope that the strike will continue”; “Please, no, the MCU is already dead”; “Just More Hulk Yoga”; ” It is sad “; “Nobody wants that”, “LOL, Marvel learns nothing” can we read on Twitter.
But amidst all this negative wave, there are still positive and more nuanced messages than those above. Really. People want to see She Hulk return to Disney Plus. “If that’s true, I wish Season 2 would take itself a little more seriously with less breaking of the fourth wall. She Hulk can be lighthearted, but not that light. She doesn’t need to break the 4th wall every episode. And I would like flashbacks on what happened in Sakkar »; “Well, that’s the best Marvel news I’ve heard in a long time! »; “Take my money, I can’t wait) »; ” Yes. It’s like in my top 3 Marvel Disney+ series right now. She Hulk was always one of my favorite characters as a kid. I first saw her in the old cartoon in the early 2000s”.
So there are defenders and detractors, but where are the author(s) of the comics? On the production side. Dan Slott, a screenwriter who made his way to Marvel and DC, had made things clear. “To everyone who says the show wasn’t true to the comics… I’m the guy who’s written more She-Hulk issues than anyone else. I’ve read every comic in every release. And I say this for the record: this series is the most accurate adaptation of the entire MCU”. What is certain is that it is obviously not worth waiting for a change of tone. The director claims that the comments didn’t change anything before the release, since everything was in the box, but there will also be no impact in the future.
The future of Marvel Disney+ series: quality vs quantity
On the other hand, we can count on better special effects after the revolt of the employees. The increasingly ridiculous deadlines to keep, to release films and series in very short time, and the salaries considered too low, are the many drops of water that broke the camel’s back. The employees therefore decided to create a union to make their voices heard and to fight against the practices of Disney+ and others. “For nearly half a century, workers in the visual effects industry have been denied the same protections and benefits enjoyed by their colleagues and crew since the early days of the Hollywood motion picture industry. This is a historic first step for workers in the VFX industry, who come together in a collective voice to demand respect for what they do.” said artist Mark Patch.
Better special effects are a step forward, but the employees still need to be heard. When we see the progress of the writers’ and actors’ strike, it is unfortunately very far from won for them. To return to success, Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, wants fewer Disney + series so that each of them has the opportunity to breathe. ” We want Marvel Studios and MCU projects to really stand out and stand above them. So people will see it as we move through Phases 5 and 6. The pace at which we release Disney+ shows will change so they can each have a chance to shine. “.
Finally, according to a rumor, the firm of Mickey could be less careful about violence with TV-MA productions (Editor’s note: Mature Audience Only). Daredevil Born Again and the potential new series The Punisher could be standard bearers in this direction.
