Marvel Writer Still Not Over Trolls Hating She-Hulk
Dan Slott called out uninformed haters dissing She-Hulk: Attorney at Law for not being "comic book accurate."
The nine-episode Marvel Studios series about a superhuman lawyer Jen Walters premiered in August last year.
During its short two-month run, the show managed to gather all sorts of critics and haters around it. The criticism mainly focused on bad CGI, dubious writing, and leaning too much into the she-part of She-Hulk.
However, hate for the show seemed to transcend beyond the usual level of criticism addressed to a Marvel project. It came to the point that the trolls and review-bombers intentionally lowered She-Hulk's Rotten Tomatoes user rating making the show the lowest-rated project of the entire Marvel Studios era.
That's why even almost half a year after the She-Hulk premiere, Marvel employees still find it important to look into negative reviews and address the most uninformed and unjust opinions.
Thus, Marvel Comics writer Dan Slott famous for The Amazing Spider-Man, Silver Surfer, Tony Stark: Iron Man, She-Hulk, and other popular comic books took to Twitter to defend the miniseries in at least one aspect. The writer addressed everyone saying She-Hulk was not "comic book accurate."
"I'm the guy who has written more issues of SHE-HULK than anyone," Slott tweeted earlier this week. "And I'm saying, for the record, it is the MOST comic book accurate show in the MCU."
The writer added that he had read every single comic from every She-Hulk run suggesting that he knows what he is talking about. Such a strong message means a lot coming from the author who wrote 33 issues of She-Hulk and undeniably knows the character better than the majority of MCU fans. The writer continued to defend the miniseries in the comments. He noted that all this "the show isn't comic accurate" nonsense had been going on for months, and those who wrote that had clearly never read She-Hulk.
Probably, the best Dan Slott's reply in the comment section was addressed to a viewer who complained that She-Hulk was "the most painful show to sit through."
"You realize that if you don't like something you don't have to sit through it, right?" the writer tweeted.
He added that it would be great if viewers would spread the word about the shows they loved, not the hate towards the shows they didn't like. Feels like a sensible thing to do, Dan Slott thinks.
