She-Hulk’s Marvel Cinematic Universe origin was defined within the first episode of the currently-airing Disney+ present, nevertheless it wasn’t at all times that means. Initially, that episode (or most of it earlier than some modifying) was the ultimate episode of the sequence. It’s an odd strategy to construction a narrative, however on the identical time, it may have offered a reasonably good dramatic impact. The difficulty is that the entire present isn’t airing simply but, so we’ll simply must see whether or not the change is sensible after the primary season wraps up.

The episode order was barely totally different — we modified issues up slightly bit in publish. Many of the pilot that you simply see was really Episode 8. We waited till the very finish of the season to essentially reveal her origin story. There have been a number of elements main as much as the choice, however actually on the finish of the day, we simply realized individuals actually needed to know that info sooner. It was laborious for them to not know the origin story after which get to know this character.
Just about the entire motion within the first episode begins when Jennifer begins to recount how precisely she got here to be in her present scenario. Theoretically, it might be a great way to wrap up the season, as a type of retrospective, however we’ll seemingly know the way good of a transfer it was because the season unfolds.
