Warning: The below contains full spoilers for She-Hulk Episode 5, which is now streaming on Disney+.
She-Hulk may have been shining a light on the multiversal absurdities we’re willing to accept as comic-book fans, but Episode 5 has gone on to prove just how ridiculous our real-life beauty industry can be. While the show’s format as a whole may be beginning to feel a bit familiar – and hey, since it’s both a sitcom and a lawyer show, what else can you expect? – this week’s half-hour still had some nice character development from Jennifer Walters and her complicated feelings around She-Hulk.
But first of all, let’s just take a second to appreciate just how painfully realistic Titania’s ads for her She-Hulk line are. The TV commercial, the podcast spot, the billboard – none of these over-the-top advertisements would look a tad bit out of place amidst the onslaught of beauty-based capitalism we see everyday. And Jameela Jamil is playing this comically self-obsessed superhuman perfectly, although anyone who’s seen The Good Place shouldn’t be surprised about her ability to effortlessly cut down anyone with just a graceful look.
