The latest episode of She-Hulk titled “Ribbit and Rip it” was finally the episode that all fans have been waiting for. Daredevil by Charlie Cox (aka Matt Murdoch) is finally making an appearance in the MCU. Along with that, there were still a lot more revelations that were made in the episode. Let’s examine them one by one.
The new She Hulk costume

I want to see the awesome costume Luke made for you. – Nikki to Jennifer
Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) finally appeared donning her superhero costume in the episode. The costume appeared to have been inspired by various costumes the character had worn in the comics. This costume is a mix of them all.

It is very bold to use ketchup and mustard as a color palette. – She-Hulk to Daredevil
Not even She-Hulk, but Daredevil also appeared in his new avatar in the episode. Charlie Cox had already made waves with his dark, dark and tragic take on the character in the Netflix series. However, after an extremely successful run of the series over its 3 seasons, Netflix suddenly canceled the show. Subsequently, Cox’s Matt appeared in Spiderman: No Coming Home in a short cameo. It was clear that now Marvel will take a new path for this new take on the character. And now Daredevil has finally appeared in She-Hulk in all its glory.
Daredevil wore a brand new costume with his signature red and yellow suit from the comics. She-Hulk even poked fun at the color scheme of her costume. This mustard and ketchup costume is actually reminiscent of the character’s original design from his comic book debut in 1964, when writer Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett put on their new hero in a dark yellow and red costume made from his father’s boxing robes. If one listens carefully, Netflix’s Daredevil theme can be heard in the background (after about the 16th minute). This Daredevil also appeared more joyful, playful, humorous and even very swift in his action movies unlike that of Netflix. Now fans are very excited to see him in his first solo Marvel series to come – Daredevil: Born Again.

That’s the big twist, isn’t it? But the question is, is this the kind of twist that sounds like “There’s another Hulk, but this one’s red…” – Jennifer Walters to Audience
While at the end of the episode, Jennifer Walters turns to the audience (in her classic attempt to break the fourth wall) and asks the audience what kind of twist they expected. Were they expecting “another hulk – but this one is red”? As we know, Jennifer’s ex-boyfriend, Josh, had drawn her blood under the guise of dating her. He did it on the orders of Intelligence head who called himself “Hulk-King”.
It is also known that Marvel is developing two major cinematic projects – Love at first sight and Captain America: New World Order. If rumors are to be believed, the Hulk and She-Hulk will be the main actors in these films. If that’s true, then sooner or later we might get a glimpse of Marvel’s own version of red hulk Where Red Hulk. Some reports even claim that Marvel is eyeing the legendary actor Harrison Ford to play the role of General Thunderbolt Ross aka Red Hulk in the MCU. “How and when” remains to be seen.
No more Sokovia Accords

May I remind you that the Sokovia Accords have been abrogated. –Matt Murdoch
As She-Hulk was recruited by GLK&H, she was told that the number of enhanced individuals or superheroes was increasing every day. However, if the Sokovia Accords, which were introduced in Captain America: Civil War (2016), were still in effect so all superheroes would have to register with the government. The Sokovia Accords are a set of legal documents designed to control and regulate the activities of enhanced individuals, including members of government agencies such as SHIELD or private organizations such as the Avengers. This led to a long-running rift between the Avengers, which only broke after Thanos blipped.
However, in the episode, Matt Murdoch states that the Sokovia Accords have now been revoked. This probably must have happened after the fall of Thanos when half the world’s population disappeared for five years. It’s a huge plot bomb for Marvel. Why the Marvel team decided to reveal it in an episode of a Disney+ show is completely unknown. But, one thing is clear – now in the MCU, superheroes can operate as they please and are even free to keep their identities a secret.
