The She-Hulk has opened a can of whoops-ass on the Internet after a bunch of cartoon geeks got into a discussion about the secret sexual origins of the giant green babe.
Time magazine (link below) reports that "on an episode of the podcast Scriptnotes that was published on May 20, a panel of superhero screenwriters played a game of trying to come with reboot ideas for random comics characters, as in ‘elderly Spider-Man’ or ‘Seth Rogen as Spider-Man.’ Then, Captain America scribe Christopher Markus drew The Hulk, which brought the conversation around to the topic of She-Hulk. At that point, host Craig Mazin and guest David S. Goyer — a writer of the upcoming and super-buzzy Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice — got into a conversation about the reason for the character’s existence. When Mazin posited that she was just there to provide titillation for young male Hulk fans, Goyer took it a step further.
"His theory, he said, was that She-Hulk was created by a man for male readers as an extension of a power fantasy: boys who felt powerless fantasized about Hulk-ing out and beating up their enemies; She-Hulk was 'the chick you could f-ck if you were Hulk' — or that the reader could, taking Hulk as a stand-in — and essentially a 'giant, green porn star.' The conversation also included a discussion of She-Hulk’s body size, over the question of whether her muscles make her 'chunky' or if she’s just got 'enormous boobs.'”
Our take is that She-Hulk is a fetish come to life: gigantism, femdom and that sexy green alien from "Star Trek" all rolled up into one kick-ass hottie.
