Lets Talk About that She/Hulk Debut, and Why it Works
There was a lot about that finale episode that presented MCU fans with a lot of ammunition for discourse, but the reality is that the final reveals of Hulk’s Son Skaar- despite a lot of fan reaction- may have been better than we all initially thought; so let’s discuss that She/Hulk debut, and why it worked.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced its newest hero to the world of live-action comic book adaptation, and Jennifer Walters has been every bit as beloved by this community as she has been to comic book fans for decades.

Endearing to the audience because of her comedic tendencies and fourth-wall-breaking capabilities, Walters has proven to have done justice to her comics counterpart and should be a permanent fixture for the MCU moving forward.
Tatiana Maslany is every bit the hero that fans hoped she would be, as every passing episode has shown she was not only the perfect choice to bring Jennifer Walters to life, but that she is invaluable to the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward.

The Finale episode certainly ended on a jam-packed note, and despite Walters escaping the confines of the MCU, there was one arrival that threw so many for a loop; so let’s discuss that She/HUlk debut, and why it works better than many think.
Hulk, in the closing moments, introduce Skaar, and it was a revelation that drew a lot of ire from fans, as he featured a less-than-stellar haircut and a rather unmonumental arrival.
The reality is that Skaar is a warrior from a planet never interacted with the MCU world that we know, which speaks to his haircut, tattoos, and very nervous demeanor.

The hair works for Skaar because he is from a foreign land of warriors, with a look similar to something we would see in a Japanese swordsman; Skaar is outside of what we perceive as normal and had been raised within a people group that had their own normalities and customs.
It was Skaar’s awkward. appearance and demeanor that adds to his character, and promise a very interesting development for the Marvel hero moving forward.
