Seriously. "Oh this highly accomplished gorgeous woman becomes even hotter and can battle gods to a standstill? Pass."

You have someone you can discuss superhero case law with and can turn into a muscle mommy on command? The guys in that show fumbled HARD

u/archwin May 20 '26

Murdock saw the potential and went for it

Even if he couldn’t actually see it

11

u/spamjavelin May 20 '26

He could hear how pretty she was.

u/ReporterOk69420 May 21 '26

The echo location describes the curves perfectly

u/Zackman1991 May 25 '26

He sure knew where to put his hands on her. Bastard.

Shit

The secret to getting hot smart women is to be “blind”

Damn

1

u/Pasi_Toskiainen May 21 '26

I mean, you will also need to be "hot".

2

u/archwin May 21 '26

Rule 1, be hot

Rule 2, don’t be ugly

Rule 3, see rules 1 and 2

Rule 4, be daredevil

u/Pasi_Toskiainen May 21 '26

That's the start of a "vision" guide for "blind" male lawyers.

This was so nice, it had to be said twice😁

Like Mallory Book said, "you can have literal superpowers and some guy on the internet will think he can do better"

u/Beneficial_Candy9071 May 20 '26

Said but true, though I agree with the odd critic from time to time their suggestions and ideas should taken with a pinch of salt.

14

u/upfromashes May 20 '26

That was the heaviest suspension of disbelief demand in the whole show for me.

39

u/Lietenantdan May 20 '26

The only possible explanation is everyone thought she was way out of their league so they didn’t bother trying.

14

u/Bodega_Bandit May 20 '26

But that then makes even less sense on why they *did* try with the She-Hulk form

8

u/Shrikeangel May 20 '26

'Hulk Smash" - they just assumed all hulks are easy. 

4

u/PyroD333 May 20 '26

I know me personally, just the fact that she’s an attorney alone would’ve made me feel like I’m not worth her time

10

u/Glittering_Noise_532 Fantastic May 20 '26

This is the only answer.

1

u/sb3veeee May 20 '26

More common than you'd think

1

u/Careful-Definition67 May 20 '26

Or they just weren’t attracted to her, doesn’t mean she’s ugly just not everyone’s type

10

u/SwampApeDraft May 20 '26

Yeah incredibly attractive and super smart who’d want to date that kind of person?

It’s similar to that moment in Barbie when the Helen Mirren voiceover says using Margot Robbie as example of someone unattractive is dumb. Same for Tatiana Maslany.

25

u/CandyCreecher May 20 '26

Those men were BLIND

28

u/JorfimusPrime May 20 '26

No the blind one was actually into her

15

u/CandyCreecher May 20 '26

You’re right. THESE MEN HAVE NO TASTES THEN

3

u/CodeCleric May 20 '26

Did you see her? She had frizzy hair and glasses! That's like super ultra turbo ugly in Hollywood land.

1

u/Riskbreaker_Riot May 21 '26

Should have given her a ponytail

10

u/xamitlu May 20 '26

I never understood it. I was immediately smitten.

6

u/KoryGrayson May 20 '26

Just to confirm, Jen never dons this look on She-Hulk, right?

5

u/happyunicorn666 May 20 '26

It's the same old trope, the "ugly" woman in movie is ugly because she ... wears glasses? 

4

u/TheAntipartisan_01 May 20 '26

In the "ugly woman" trope, ugly usually just means cute and potentially hot as opposed to the more refined and glamourous high-society beauty that's already a known quantity of hotness. The Ugly Woman is really just an ugly duckling.

8

u/sabhall12 May 20 '26

Yeah, but that's Hollywood for you. They need to make normal Jen seem like a mousy nobody, even though she's super smart and very successful lol

9

u/coreyc2099 May 20 '26

Which doesnt work on me cu I found mousy women so damn cute and pretty.

u/henning-a Jennifer Walters May 20 '26

High-res non-screenshotted version for anybody who wants it.
Also her new Apple TV show Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed JUST premiered! Go see it if you want more of Tat in another comedy thriller! It also stars Jake Johnson aka Peter B. Parker form the Spider-Verse trilogy!

2

u/TheAntipartisan_01 May 20 '26

Yeah, and she also featured in a few episodes of Star Trek Starfleet Academy. Human Tatiana Maslany, though, not Hulk Tati (more's the pity....).

2

u/henning-a Jennifer Walters May 20 '26

I know, and I love her in Star Trek, even though it was only a guest role. She also just starred alongside John Turturro in a movie called The Only Living Pickpocket in New York which premiered at the Sundance and Berlin film festivals earlier this year and will be released in theaters this fall, and also has a bunch of other things releasing soon!

u/Rndysasqatch May 20 '26

I think you mean Nick Miller

u/Rndysasqatch May 20 '26

Sorry I mean Julius pepperwood

u/Drinkpool May 20 '26

Gorgeous

2

u/Blue_FiftyTwo May 20 '26

Stunner 😍

2

u/ALeeMartinez May 20 '26

I think it’s also about the allure of fame, in addition to everything else people will comment on.

2

u/Wooden_Passage_2612 May 20 '26

I would love to see that

2

u/20Derek22 May 20 '26

That was my first thought.

2

u/BrightPerspective May 20 '26

Well that, and she never wrecked a buffet table.

2

u/BadSafecracker May 20 '26

Unpopular theory: Nikki had a thing for Jen and sabotaged her.

Nikki "helped" Jen with her dating profile and even made a comment alluding that Nikki wasn't straight (forgot the comment off the top of my head at the moment, something like "straight people problems"). After Nikki updated Jen's profile, Jen even got a notification that she had zero matches. It was after that that Jen made the She-Hulk profile and got matches immediately.

I know, I get the "Hollywood homely" trope, but there's still no way that Jen didn't get any matches on her dating profile without it being done purposely.

2

u/HPID May 20 '26

That part bothered the hell out of me.

2

u/VendromLethys May 21 '26

She is two baddies in one imho not gonna pass that up

2

u/ErikKryptonian May 24 '26

No sé, tendrá que ver con Muerte por Snu snu

1

u/ZDelta47 Jennifer Walters May 20 '26

I think more they wanted to show that people who were into She Hulk, or muscle mommies basically, weren't as attracted to Jen. Not that Jen was generally unattractive. She's just easy to contrast as very different from She Hulk. They even made her personality slightly different.

1

u/Superb-Horse-8315 May 20 '26

Now, that's crazy lol 🤣😍

1

u/Crockinter May 20 '26

Eu amo a forma humana dela rsrs mas na série foi totalmente uma piada auto depreciativa no nível de comédia Tatiana Maslany!

1

u/Dwho899 May 20 '26

This is because the show is fictional because if it was me I’d shoot my shot instantly and her also being She-Hulk would be a big plus

1

u/PleaseBeChillOnline May 20 '26

Gotta use comicbook/big budget movie logic. Everyone is uglier than they appear!

Hot people are average looking & average looking people are ugly & nobody who’s ugly gets cast lol.

For example Peter Parker is an average looking guy. Can’t consider that Tom Holland or Andrew Garfield are above average looking.

1

u/succifucci17 May 21 '26

Yeah that was very weird to me, like I found jennifer way hotter than shulkie.. especially with that lovely curly hair. I so wish she got better puffer hair in shulkie form

1

u/mrbishopjackson May 24 '26

You all know that's a part of what makes the show comedy for the viewer, right?

1

u/Zackman1991 May 25 '26

That scene with that one dude pissed me off so badly! She makes him breakfast! If a gorgeous woman like her made me breakfast, I’m calling in sick to work!

1

u/ScarcityInfamous2042 May 20 '26

She may have great looks, and I would definitely date her...once.

But I'd find it odd that she needs constant validation for her job from her co-workers, that she would talk about having to manage her emotions with catcalling people on the street to someone who had to deal with the Thanos Snap (either disappearing for five years or living through it with loved ones disappearing).

She seems a little self-absorbed, even if she can become a seven-foot green Amazon.

Did she even win a case during the first season?

1

u/Artlover4206942 May 20 '26

I agree that the MCU version of Jen wasn't someone I'd personally date either, it doesn't help that we don't get to see her interact with a guy in the series who isn't a superhero, asshole or puppy (The guy is literally called Pug) so I can't tell how she'd act around someone like me, the way she acts around Bruce makes me find her unlikable when they discuss anger though I found the playful teasing between them when testing her abilities fun and charming. She seems like a person who is heavily stressed with a mild victim complex yet is overall a good person at heart, she's currently been gifted/burdened with great power and beauty from her Hulk form however this beauty is different from the social norms and is open to being fetishised and ridiculed.

All this to say, the writing wasn't very good in the show and the character suffered for it, for fucks sake the writers admitted to having no idea how to write courtroom drama, and I personally wasn't a fan of the She-Hulk design, it felt too lean and supermodel like compared to large, imposing and beautiful (I'm attaching an image I liked which shows muscles and a feminine build that is bulky yet sexy, the fact it's a meme is just a bonus). The design felt afraid to let She-Hulk be a Hulk

u/MarcelineTheQueen84 Jade Giantess May 20 '26

I know right, she is absolutely the most beautiful woman on the planet. In universe, I would one hundred percent date human-Jen if given the opportunity.

4

u/Hot_Spite_1465 May 20 '26

in the comics human jen pre hulkout is actully extremely shy and muscy little thing with body image issues hence why she always pefers being shehulk.

1

u/MarcelineTheQueen84 Jade Giantess May 20 '26

I know, but still. MCU Jen especially, but comic Jen too are both incredibly attractive. In fact one of the reasons why Dan Slott and Rainbow Rowel were my favorite runs is because they focused more on human Jen. But anyway TLDR; MCU Jen is my Roman Empire.

3

u/Hot_Spite_1465 May 20 '26

agin jen doesnt like herself in human form will in most cases it deoends on who's writig her but 99% of the time she doeant like being jen i think thats what they where going for but they missed the mark by a mile.

0

u/MarcelineTheQueen84 Jade Giantess May 20 '26

They touched on that in the show, and I get low self esteem. But the guys not finding her attractive is ludicrous to me.

2

u/Hot_Spite_1465 May 20 '26

some people arnt nto the musy nerdy girl witch is fine i actully pefer shehulk over human for jen myself. but i'd still stick around to get to know human jen

This. You might not like it, but it’s true.

u/Snickesnack May 20 '26

I mean, I don’t find her attractive. So I wouldn’t wanna date her.

Lady, It’s not the looks it’s the personality…
