Deadpool is an edgy spandex-wearing superhero with enough personality to liven up Celine Dion’s song Ashes (which is really quite soothing). Played by Ryan Reynolds, this character is more charming and cooler than his peers because he will shred you to pieces without thinking twice and make fun of you while doing it. Whether you like or dislike his outrageous antics, there is no denying that the character is unique. Despite almost thirty years of delivering bloodshed, humor, and meta-mischief in the panels of some of Marvel’s most beloved titles, his antics of breaking the fourth wall make him a hilarious and off-kilter alternative to his superhero brethren.
In the interim, She-Hulk, AKA Jennifer Walters is not only a member of the Hulk family but also a part-time lawyer and part-time Avenger. She was excited to become the She-Hulk, unlike her cousin Bruce Banner, the Incredible Hulk. She later becomes one of the few who genuinely appear to enjoy playing the role of a hero. Walters adores her size, greenness, and strength. Not too dissimilar from characters like Deadpool, she is also a classic comedy character.
And the similarities between Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk and Reynolds’ Deadpool caused a rift among Marvel fans.
Deadpool’s Charm & She-Hulk’s Strength Spark Heated Debates Among Marvel Fans
Breaking the fourth wall and stepping outside the comic panel boundaries is one of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool’s most distinctive qualities. This unique feature has enabled Wade Wilson to embrace his s*xually charged persona, resulting in some ‘h*rny characteristics’ in the comics. Although Deadpool is now synonymous with this type of loud humor, maintaining an image that conceals the character’s nuance and complexity has resulted in concern.
But fans believe that Deadpool is insatiably aroused or h*rny in the comics, so it makes sense that he would be in the movie as well.
Enter Tatiana Maslany’s She-Hulk, also known as Jennifer Walters, is a formidable superheroine, embodying both brains and brawn. She-Hulk, in contrast to Deadpool, is praised for her strength, intelligence, and legal acumen rather than just her s*xual appetite. Fans argue that this is a more empowering and progressive portrayal of female superheroes, defying traditional stereotypes.
People were probably hoping for a more “accurate She-Hulk from the comics”. Let’s learn more about what fans have to say of these Marvel characters:
Well I mean… Deadpool is always horny in the comics – it makes sense he'd be that way anyway in the movis.
Idk about She-Hulk though.. I think people were hoping for more She-Hulk accurate from the comics 🤷🏾♀️ idk though— Black 🖤, but mildly sunny ☀️ (@swagnat1) February 13, 2024
see there’s really one explanation for this confusing display by the MCU fandom:
blatant sexism— Slippin Jimmy (@Ragnarok201023) February 13, 2024
1. Literally no one said that.
2. If you honestly can’t see the difference in the delivery i find that extremely concerning.

The issue for me is that she hulk tried to play it safe and make it family friendly sex humour. It just falls flat.
Deadpool goes straight to fucking pegging, no holds barred

Both of them are horny characters but I just think how They wrote The story and certain aspects of the character wasn't really good. Mind you i like She-Hulk as a character Because she's so down to earth but could use a friend like Jessica Jones to level her out a bit

To the dismay of fans, the debate arises: has Reynolds’ Deadpool been portrayed as always hungry for…affection? Marvel fans are of the opinion that remaining faithful to the character’s comic book persona is paramount. Deadpool’s insatiable thirst for pleasure, in spite of its explicit nature, has been a signature trait that sets him apart.
Creator of She-Hulk Is Happy With ‘H*rniest MCU Show’ Title
Jessica Gao, head writer of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, expressed pride in her show being the MCU’s h*rniest to date. After a little separation from She-Hulk, it is simpler to evaluate the Disney+ series as an extension of previous Marvel series available on the platform. It was never exactly like the others; it had shortcomings. Best of all was the romance between Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) and Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), which left fans wanting more.
Given how little information has been released about the romantic relationships of the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this pairing came as a surprise. In the early 2023 issue of Empire Magazine Gao boasted about how proudly the show raised the bar for h*rniness within the MCU:
“[She-Hulk’s finale hopefully] allows more Marvel projects to get a little weird. One of my proudest accomplishments is how this was the horniest Marvel show so far.”
As the MCU continues to grow and takes creative liberties with these characters, fans are looking forward to seeing how Deadpool and She-Hulk will appear in the years to come, and they are keeping their fingers crossed for a balance that leaves everyone satisfied.
Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law are streaming on Disney Plus.
