Part 3/10:
Before delving into She-Hulk's specifics, there’s a broader issue at play—the declining portrayal of the Hulk in the MCU. Longtime fans are vocal about how the character's evolution has been disappointing. The once rage-fueled monster from the 2008 "The Incredible Hulk" has transformed into a more subdued, “dad-like” figure.
Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, who is now often depicted as “Professor Hulk,” combines the intelligence of Banner with the brute strength of the Hulk. Unfortunately, many fans see this as a regression—one they describe as a “war crime” in terms of storytelling. The once iconic, hulking beast who roared and smashed his enemies has been replaced with a version that frequently wears glasses and is more interested in doing curls in a gym than smashing skyscrapers.
