New She-Hulk Comic Series Announced

there also talking about a TV show

If that’s the case, I’m going to ask something that has probably been discussed before…

Supposing that a live action She-Hulk show gets off the ground somehow, how well do you think would people receive it?

Even if has excellent casting, directing, writing, and acting, there’s still the issue of FMG in the room.

Although most people in this community like it, and although society seems to be slowly becoming more receptive to the idea of a girl having muscle, FMG is hardly mainstream.

What do you think would have to be done in order for it to be more widespread?

In order for there to be an audience at all, what you should be asking is whose going to pick it up to broadcast it? Given the nature of the FMG element of the character, I really don’t see it being shown on ABC. Not certain if any of the other cable channel would be interested, outside of Spike, possibly. There was a time when niche audience programming was syndicated out to local channels (i.e. you had a slew of them: Babylon 5, Hercules, Xena, Andromeda, Mutant X, Cleopatra 2525, etc) but I don’t think that’s the case today with the industry.

A better solution might be something like how Netflix streams material on-line, so its not tied down to television viewing only. As a venue, it would find its way to both a niche and a broader general audience.

That Marvel’s Agents of Shield is probably where She Hulk would make her first appearance making it a spin off of that show.

I wouldn’t turn it down, but that’s highly unlikely. Agents of Shield will probably just create their own characters or scrape the bottom of the barrel for lowest of the low tier Marvel characters.

Look at the first episode, the only thing that factored into the plot taken from the larger Marvel Universe was a concoction that contained super soldier serum mixed with other familiar buzzwords. Expect more of that.

Prove me wrong, Joss Whedon. Prove me wrong.

The best shot to get She Hulk into a series would’ve been Del Toro’s Hulk television show. Last I read Disney decided to put that on hold to lavish more attention on Agents of Shield.

It isn’t mainstream, and 20 years ago, I think that would have been an issue. But I think a few things have changed over the years that make a non-terrible She-Hulk series possible.

1. TV is split up into so many channels that there is room for splinter programming. A show doesn’t need 10 million viewers to stay on the air, as long as it gets a gainfully employed demographic.
2. Even Syfy original productions (with similarly fringe tf sequences) can get made with passable visual effects.
3. Disney has multiple networks. If Miss Walters doesn’t work on ABC, there are plenty of channels where they can stick her show. Lifetime? 😛
4. Speaking of Disney, they might want to get as much mileage out of their properties as they can. And rather than overexpose Spider-Man/Hulk/Iron Man/Avengers , they can get experimental with their less valued properties, and fill some broadcast minutes. Even though She-Hulk occupies a lower rung, she still carries a built-in audience, so long as such a series doesn’t suck.
5. If not mainstream, we’re not alone. http://www.toplessrobot.com/2013/09/10_more_marvel_shows_we_want_to_see.php?page=2
