Here's my pitch for a generic MCU lawyer comedy.

"If you've been injured in the Battle of New York or by Ultron, you may be entitled to compensation."

Shulkie starts off as one of the lawyers trying to sue Stark Industries in one of the many Personal Injury cases the Avengers have caused, gets into an accident, gets Banner's blood and at the end of episode one, heel turns and becomes a lawyer specializing in Superhero Law. The rest of season 1 is her setting up a small insurance company that specializes in Superhero liability and trying to negotiate monetary compensation for all the PI and collateral damage superheroes cause.

I don't think the Karen writers have even watched daytime commercials if they didn't go with this angle.

EDIT: If a supervillain threat is needed, Kingpin hires a bunch of slip'n'fall guys to start small, semi-fake confrontations to bait various heroes into using excessive force so they can sue heroes in civil court. The goal is to force working class heroes into bankruptcy, so even though the heroes win suits on paper, they're still vigilantes that have to pay rising court costs and attorney's fees. After all, vigilantes don't have Qualified immunity and may not even be licensed heroes under the Sokovia Accords.

that could be a great montage setting up Harvey Birdman But It's Marvel
lots of little clips of broke hero saving people and breaking something from an earlier work followed up by them getting served papers while in the middle of some other crimefighting

eh, MCU Smart Hulk saying "bruh" seems pretty reasonable
I suspect that's probably about #485 in "Top Five Hundred Shitty Things About Marvel Movies This Year"

It is a funny example of how the writing is utterly Twitter-tier garbage though.
 
I'm saving my magnum sperg until the end of the season but not using the Snap is a big-time lost opportunity. Really think about it, what self-respecting practicing lawyer wouldn't bother trying to capitalize?
Branding issues? Patents? Reparations? Rework of the Sokovia Accords so they aren't complete shit?

In 2004, Jen Walters was hired by a firm specializing in Super Hero Law. It was named Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway. Seriously, this shit writes itself, you could have a guy whose whole gag is saying 'no-relation'. Just go look them up and the cases they had, you easily have right there stuff for at least one season. It's a crime you don't just adapt it.

You want to hear how it’s worse?

So in a show called “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law”, there’s very little attorney-ing because they can’t write courts scenes, and there’s very little She-Hulk because they couldn’t afford the effects.

They have officially 100% failed on the entire premise of the show and character.

This is the most disappointing part of the show. I can groan and ignore stupid shit like She-Hulk telling literally any version of the Hulk that he suffers less than her, but the fact that they squandered the potential that a superhero lawyer show/crime drama had is absolutely depressing. It doesn't even need to be as deep as Better Call Saul or Matlock or anything like that. It could be something as wacky as Ace Attorney, just a crazy turnabout with zany characters. But no, we get another MCU sitcom.

Come on, it was RIGHT fucking there

Doesn't even have to be Galactus, it could be any character this ridiculous. Could've even thrown in a message about how villains are as flawed as regular people or some shit.

Marvel being sold to Disney was the worst thing that could've happened to it.

Yeah you're probably right, then the prototype suit is in a flashback or whatever.

Not even a flashback. I guarantee you she’ll show up in the junk one, brag about becoming the new Tony Stark or something as say she’s smarter, than use Wakanda to make the new suit for the final battle or something.

It looks like the love interest robot from Wall-E.

You can make a ton of fun Capeshit related court episodes that expand the world. Though the snap itself will result in extremely depressing family court drama.
Also I don't get, if there is no super-heroing or court cases then what actually happens most of the episodes? Is it like Batwoman where it's mainly people talking in bars and cafes?

Honestly it’s dumb for the excuse of not being able to write court drama when courts in TV and film are usually inaccurate anyway. Like it would’ve been perfect since there could be humor as well.

But I guess it’s important to show how Jessica Gao…I mean She-Hulk hates being catcalled or something
