SheHulk: Attorney at Law writer Jessica Gao has explained why the show changed Jennifer Walters' origin story from the Marvel comics.🤔 WARNING! Spoilers ahead ➡️

Warning: This article contains spoilers for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Episode 1Jessica Gao, the writer for Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, explains why Jennifer Walters' origins are different in the Disney+ show. Stan Lee first introduced the Marvel hero back in 1980 with the release of “The Savage She-Hulk” graphic novel series. The character was supposedly inspired by the success of two popular television shows at the time, The Incredible Hulk and The Bionic Woman.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In the original comic’s sequence of events that lead to She-Hulk obtaining her powers, Jennifer Walters is the daughter of a Los Angeles sheriff. The mob has a vendetta against her father and attempts to kill the officer. Unfortunately, Jennifer gets caught up in the ensuing hit and is critically injured in the gunfight.

“For me, it just didn’t ring true for the Bruce Banner we know…We’ve watched him over the course of a decade, and he’s struggled with this. He’s tormented by this. He saw it as a curse. It took him a decade to just get to a place of balance and acceptance. He never viewed it as a great thing. It forced him to not even have romantic relationships. I just can’t imagine Bruce would willingly choose to give what he saw as a curse.

Gao's explanation is certainly interesting, as it highlights how the MCU has emphasized the emotional difficulties of Bruce/Hulk's character. To address this, rather than having Banner consciously decide to save Jennifer with a blood transfusion, Gao made it incidental to avoid detracting from the internal struggle audiences have seen Banner battling over the course of the MCU’s storyline.

Even though Banner has seemingly coped with his circumstances, his personal conflicts seen in other MCU movies do suggest that he would not willingly transfer his “curse” to another individual. Gao’s scriptwriting allowed Banner to stay true to the character audiences have seen over the past two decades without altering She-Hulk’s storyline in a damaging way, or having to spend extensive time explaining a complicated backstory.
