Bruce-Jennifer accident scene
She-Hulk Episode 2 doesn’t have much to say. So, rewatching the first episode, I felt like the writers were really lazy for the accident scene, where Jennifer Walters got her power.
Most of you won’t have noticed, but there was a slight continuity error that made the scene unrealistic to some extent.
The scene of the accident in detail
When Bruce and Jennifer had an accident, Bruce was injured and bleeding, which showed that the impact was quite strong. But on the other hand, Jennifer wasn’t hurt at all, until she tried to get out of the car and help Bruce.
The wound on her arm that led Bruce’s blood into her system is from the attempt she made to get out of the car after the accident. Other than that, she had no visible scratches or injuries.
Try slowing down the scene and you’ll definitely find that detail of her. Thing is, while Bruce was bleeding from multiple wounds, why didn’t the person driving the car have any impact? This can’t be a coincidence, as Marvel is always focused on making things look realistic.
It’s just a small mistake that can be ignored. But Marvel’s compromise on She-Hulk’s VFX quality is unforgivable.
But again, it would have been better if the writers had shown Jennifer Walters’ very first transformation into She-Hulk. Marvel could have shown Jennifer confused, scared, and overwhelmed right after getting Bruce’s blood into her system.
Fans would have enjoyed, just as they enjoyed Bruce Banner’s transformation into the Hulk, in The Incredible Hulk and Avengers. We all know Jennifer doesn’t have an alter ego so she can’t change like Bruce does. But the first time she changed, it would have been a treat to watch.
Now that we know she’s in control of her powers, we don’t even expect her to Hulk-Out Bruce-style.
She-Hulk was bleeding
The immediate detail seen after the accident scene are green stains on Jennifer’s shirt. Yeah, you got it right! It’s not just a green stain, but her blood while in Hulk form.
This means that transforming into She-Hulk did not heal his wound. The healing process may have taken some time, which is not mentioned or shown in the series so far. Jennifer now has full control of her powers, which is pretty cool but not Hulk-specific.
Fans have to filter the Hulk’s impression of the mind to judge this new character. Let’s wait and see what future episodes of She-Hulk have in store for Marvel fans.
