Actor Tatiana Maslany along with the writer and creator of the show Jessica Gao sat down with Variety and told the behind-the-scene part of She-Hulk when the epic finale wasn’t revealed to the people yet. During the course of the talks, Tatiana Maslany talked about how female superheroes get way more resistance than male superheroes.

When asked the question, “Were you expecting to face the trolls when you signed on for the show?”, here’s what the She-Hulk actress had to reply.

“Reading the script, it was so true. There’s so much resistance to a woman just existing in that space of superheroes. There’s always going to be that. I sort of anticipated it. It’s why I also feel it’s important. There’s such an entitlement to space held by certain people, and to even exist as She-Hulk is like a fuck-you, and I love that.”

The actress certainly achieved what she had set out to achieve as the final episode of the series, no matter how bizarre, was praised by the people which eventually brought the LA-based attorney series to a gradual end.

During the same interview, the interviewer asked about Marvel’s bizarre sense of humor as the 9th and final episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law managed to break all boundaries and barriers of common sense. Tatiana Maslany revealed that she was indeed scared of the finale but felt comfortable as Marvel’s sense of humor was indeed fun to watch.

“Ironically, I was more squeamish about it than they were. I was like, “Are we going too far? Are we throwing Marvel and fans under the bus by putting down Marvel films?” They have such a self-deprecating, irreverent sense about themselves and were totally willing to poke fun at themselves. Any criticism you can lob at them, they have thought of.”

The final episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law saw the return of various characters that pound it down before the series comes to a gradual end (a rare move by Marvel Studios). There are currently no plans for a second season of She-Hulk as the creator Jessica Gao is too tired from the first season.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is available to stream on Disney+.
