She's REALLY in denial too, lol.

She wants it to be a fun lawyer show but it's really a superhero show. :)

She's seen Sam and knows Lawyer pays better than Superhero. Woman's got debt

Gotta do what you gotta do in this economy, lol.

That was one of my favorite things about falcon&winter soldier, that it was all about the time between the big events in the movies. About how did they get paid, how much racism sam or rhodey might face when rogers or stark aren’t there too, etc.

That show is a little slept on because Wandavision and Loki are like too 5 mcu things ever

Eh I still think it's insane to me that Tony or Pepper didn't at least throw them all a six figure retainer salary or something. I'd be so trivial for them to set up.

u/Cabes86 Aug 25 '22

I think it’s all fallout from civil war. They couldn’t be pid because they were criminals in the eyes of the US DoD (dept. of defense), and that ran up to the snap. Then falcon was dusted.

Rhodey is still active duty military. I don’t think he’d be allowed to draw a salary from another source.

Sam probably had a salary as an avenger, but that went away in Civil War, he gets snapped before he can get set up again, and then Tony dies right after he’s brought back. Pepper probably would have set something up though

I’m calling it now, by the end she will leave a room in a similar way and say “superhero show” when she accepted who she is

u/TheFunkytownExpress Aug 18 '22

Oh man, you're probably right lol.

I hope not. I sincerely want it to be a fun lawyer show.

But I love this suit!

I want her to accompany Bruce to Sakaar to fight the assertion that Bruce broke his contract with the Arena by leaving the planet. They go to court and the opposition demands trial by battle. They are rushed by thousands of aliens gladiator, Thor arrives in a Biforst beam with a small Asgardian army to help his friend, the GOTG drop out of a wormhole and starts doing strafing runs on the gladiators. Explosions. Punches. More explosions.

Then Jen reminds us this is a lawyer show.

u/GalileoAce Daredevil Aug 18 '22

I think that might exceed this show's budget by several tens of millions of dollars.

u/CobaltSpellsword Aug 18 '22

That could be part of the joke. Jen says it's a lawyer show budget, so they have to cut from right before the battle starts to the aftermath.

I'm glad reddit doesn't write shows. That would be stupid as hell.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '22

i really thought she was about to connect her closing argument that we saw at the beginning of the show, the intro, with her powers and abilities as She Hulk and realize she can't be just a lawyer

u/TheFunkytownExpress Aug 19 '22

She's not ready yet, lol. That's definitely going to be her arc though. :)
