Fans were also curious about the visual changes to the character, but he definitely been updated to be more comic book accurate.

Now that the bad guy is back in She-Hulk, fans weren’t expecting that the MCU hadn’t quite finished its Abomination changes. In a recent clip from She-Hulk: LawyerAbomination was seen talking and now the character has a voice that many fans are clamoring for “it sounds like Korg.” Unlike his awful, awful, gritty voice from 2008, the villain now speaks exactly like a human would. Final judgment? Fans are not amused. Here’s a tweet that provided comparisons between the two iterations of the villain:

The changes are noticeable and offer quite a contrast. Fans can only wonder what the villain has to bring to the show since his menacing demeanor has clearly been changed. To say that reviews for the upcoming Disney+ series have increased tenfold would be an understatement.

The public is neither impressed nor amused by this change. Many even criticize the show saying it gets the “Mickey Mouse Treatment.” While many were intrigued by the comedic tone of the upcoming Disney+ series, avid audiences are growing increasingly wary of how many other MCU components and their iconic characters will be played just for laughs. Some even wonder if including the nightmarish villain is just for comic relief. “Hope it’s not a joke” said one user on Twitter.
Here’s a bit more of what fans had to say:
You are now deliberately setting up the MCU for slander for interactions, embarrassing 💀

Marvel really doesn’t know how to make villains. Instead of making Abomination a menacing villain, they want to give him a voice for comedy. How are we supposed to take it seriously?

Everything from Hulk to Abomination was perfect in Edward Norton’s version. Unfortunately @MarvelStudios wants the characters to be comical. It sucks

Only time can tell if, regardless of such changes, the villain has anything believable to offer fans who were eager to see him again after so long. Audiences can only hope that these teasers aren’t an accurate representation of the bigger, fuller picture.
She-Hulk: Lawyer will premiere its first episode exclusively on Disney+ on August 18, 2022.
