She-Hulk: Lawyer faced difficult beginnings from the very beginning. And yet, it received mixed reviews regarding both negative and positive public opinion. Some people have pointed out what some have called ‘bad CGI’ at the beginning and now the show is attacked by sexists.

These issues not only made many a little hesitant to watch the show, but also some people lambasted on Twitter calling out the attackers. Sure, sexist voices are trying to bring the show down, but genuine fans around the world will continue to push the show forward and take the toxicity down.

Some critics don’t understand that She-Hulk is a very different character and cannot be compared to the Hulk. The only things She-Hulk and Hulk have in common are green skin, intelligence, super strength, and gamma radiation. And this is not the first time, with each female debut, a kind of backlash always happened. Earlier, Natalie Portman ‘Female Thor’ was a disaster when the news surfaced on social media. Fans were so quick to condemn their negative opinions of the character and she was criticized for not being ‘swole’ enough and ‘too small’. The same case happened with the launch of Ms. Marvel.

it’s so annoying when people disparage female marvel characters and then praise men for doing the exact same thing
‘captain marvel was full of herself’ have you met tony stark?

They hide the misogyny behind these criticisms to get away with it, but we see clearly. Always a pattern of men complaining about female superheroes. Some say they need to reduce Carol/Wanda’s powers. They can’t stand a stronger woman than many of their favorite male heroes.

Curious what program Thor was pushing other than slapstick comedy.

Early reactions show how portraying female characters can be equally difficult for filmmakers when established audiences or fans only prefer young, white, cisgender, and male superheroes.

Some viewpoints also suggest that the characters are hijacked. For example, Thor was shown to be unworthy and his power and name were replaced with a female character. They say it “Hijacking famous male characters with female characters is not uncommon.” And now She-Hulk will also take a long time to develop. However, it doesn’t matter that the number of female superheroes and content is increasing. But offering female characters such roles that might challenge established gender-defining masculinity remains a problem for some people.
