re: Why was the She-Hulk origin changed? (Long)

I'm an originalist, so I can agree with wanting to see her comic origin played out on-screen.

The problem is, we're talking about two different She-Hulks.

The original one is really just a female Hulk.







Fast-forward almost a decade and her original comic ended but a new one began. This one went away from the normal serious fare for a more light-hearted and comedic take.



This tv show is the latter She-Hulk (so "Sensational" instead of "Savage"). Doing an origin story for the lighter version would work with the mob hit, but changing it up to be a bit lighter (as well as working in Bruce going back off-planet) works just as well.

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was phoned-in bullshite writing but considering the overall tone of the show it's not something I would list as a top peeve (that's still the CGI).
