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?

Have to see if it shows up in February 2014 solicitations @ CBR.

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.

Agents sure didn’t impress me. Coulton’s know it all but I’m not telling you attitude is funny as a support character but as the main character its just idiotic. the story was sort of ok, nothing groundbreaking there either.

I actually would use the series to launch other B-list hero series. Give them some breathing room diring their guest appearance and see if people like them. But most of all Keep Coulton in the shade.

I don’t think that SHE-HULK being FMG would be a problem, she’s a super hero and people accept that they wear spandex or even their underwear over the suit so FMG, especially in a world where Crossfit is becoming ultra popular with the ladies, Some critics would blow chunks but then again, they blow their chunks when you see an anorexic figure on TV as well and that doesn’t stop actresses and producers from being skinny or casting skinny.

Also, I donT’ think they would cast a super buff actress as she-HULK they would only go half-way or CGI her. what’s more edgy is her tendency to go sexual on other heroes and supporting characters or her 4th wall breaking habit.

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

You need 10 millions viewers to stay on ABC
Just ask Steven Speilberg’s Lucky 7 remake
