I am a conservative through and through.....

.....and so far this reviewer has enjoyed SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW. Tatiana Maslany nails it as aspiring assistant district attorney Jennifer Walters who's hitching a ride with her favorite cousin Bruce Banner (welcome back, Mark Ruffalo) in his sports utility vehicle in the mountains of Mexico when a close encounter with a flying saucer from outer space forces them off a road and into a forest. They survive the crash, and his green blood seeps into her open wound, with the result that she transforms into a huge 6-foot-7-inch green-skinned giantess. Now it's up to Bruce to teach Jennifer how to Hulk with finesse and grace. She winds up teaching him a few things, of course, and they get into a physical altercation that becomes a visual effects workout. Our heroine returns to the Big Apple to try her case in court, but winds up fighting super-strong villainess Titania (Jameela Jamil) and winning. But that gets her fired from the DA's office. Repeated attempts to secure employment end in failure. But she is hired by the prestigious law firm of Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg, and Goodman in the person of big-shot attorney Holden Holliway (Steve Coulter), who happens to be a senior partner. Jennifer gets a corner office with a spectacular view of the city and her best friend Nikki Ramos (Ginger Gonzaga), who's a paralegal. Only thing is, Jennifer has to defend the notorious Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), also known as the Abomination who duked it out with that green-skinned giant in THE INCREDIBLE HULK (2008). And she has to do it as the She-Hulk. Whether Jennifer Walters wants it or not, she is destined to be s super heroine. Especially when the Abomination busts out of prison and is seen fighting at a mixed martial arts tournament. Welcome back Mark-Linn Baker (PERFECT STRANGERS) as Jennifer's dear old dad. To Kevin Feige, here's some advice: you have a good show on your hands. Don't blow it.
