Now that we’ve all seen She-Hulk episode 2 – did you watch it right? Because This is your spoiler warning – It’s time to review what we just saw. Specifically, the fact that She-Hulk just planted a flag in the MCU as it fits into the chronology of current Marvel movies and series.
Interestingly enough, She-Hulk is apparently not the latest piece from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In fact, She-Hulk takes you back to the 2021 Marvel movie.
However, that’s fair One A point in She-Hulk, and one per second out of nine episodes. Therefore, we can see that it extends beyond this moment. Who knows, it could relate to upcoming Marvel movies and shows in ways we can’t predict.
Oh, and when you’re done, check out our She-Hulk review to find out why we love the new Disney Plus show so much.
She-Hulk Episode 2 Ending: A Ugly Surprise
She-Hulk episode two revolves around GLK&H’s first Jen Walters case, the parole of Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), aka The Abomination. The man who tried to kill Jane’s cousin, the Hulk. Well, these little details didn’t matter to GLK&H partner Holden Holliway (Steve Coulter), who brought Jen into the company on the promise that She-Hulk is the face of the company’s superhero law department.
So, when Jane goes to meet Blonsky at the Damage Control Department’s Supermax Prison, she discovers he’s a changed man. He has gone through something of a spiritual rebirth, with yoga, namaste, and seven soulmates. And after Jane had enough reason to believe that Blonsky was a reformer, she left. She even calls her cousin, who makes a simple joke that I will explain below.
But after Jane tells Holloway that she’s taking on Blonsky’s case, he tells her she needs to check the news. And here we learn where the She-Hulk is currently sitting in the MCU. Blonsky appears to have escaped from prison, as footage of his impiety as a caged fighter surfaced in the news.
Ask anyone who’s seen Shang-Chi and Legend of the Ten Rings and they’ll tell you that the scene takes place early in this movie, because this Abomination cage is inside the Golden Daggers Club. As you know, the fighting club is owned and operated by Xu Xialing (Meng’er Zhang), Shang-Chi’s sister. Interestingly, She-Hulk writer Jessica Gao said ComicBook.com (Opens in a new tab) That abomination “was put in Shang-Chi because it was on our show.”
With the help of our guide to watching the Marvel movies in order (which is confirmed by Disney Plus’s “Marvel Cinematic Universe in Timeline Order” section), this positions the She-Hulk as having happened after Shang-Chi (or during the middle of it, because Abomination’s time in the cage doesn’t occupy the part) much of the movie); Therefore, it also happens after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
What does She-Hulk’s MCU timeline spot mean
Placing She-Hulk near Shang-Chi and after The Falcon and The Winter Soldier opens up one big possibility for the series. This means that She-Hulk characters can interact with the new Captain America, and former hawk Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie). But we don’t see him as needing legal help.
However, this means that American agent John Walker (White Russell) also plays, as well as Bucky Barnes, a former winter soldier, who seems to have found some peace. And both are too messy to need help. We suspect Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) needs legal help, not when she’s an energy broker.
She-Hulk Episode 2 Easter Eggs & References
- When Jen mocks the types of people who become superheroes, he talks about “billionaires” (Tony Stark), “narcissists” (also Tony Stark), and “big orphans” (also, unfortunately, Tony Stark).
- Jane questions, and she wonders if the Avengers provide health care, maternity leave, pensions, and payments just not a natural set of considerations. It’s also a response to the financial issues we learned when Sam Wilson and his family were having a hard time on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
- Surfing the internet when she’s supposed to be looking for a job, Jen surfs a page stacked with Easter eggs. Not only do the categories on this page include “Find Ant-Man,” “Avengers,” and “Norse Mythology,” the sidebar includes an advertisement for Iron Man Threes sneakers and the headline “Man Fights With Metal Claws In Bar Brawl.” The latter seems like a nod to Wolverine, and the latest nod to the imminent arrival of the X-Men (it was recently hinted at in the Ms. Marvel credits scene).
- Also on that page, we see a sidebar title that says “Why is there a giant statue of a man coming out of the ocean?” This is most likely a reference to the Eternals, as this movie ended with a giant – literally – celestial known as Tiamut the Communicator emerging from the ocean. This is one of two MCU timeline indicators, we will move on to the next indicator below.
- When She-Hulk enters the GLK&H offices, we see a wall of Marvel comics framed in a lawyer’s office, further proving that there are MCU cartoons inside the MCU. Hulk, Captain America, and Thanos are among those on the cover.
- When Jen called Bruce to talk about Blonsky, Smart Hulk answered and eventually reminded us of the Incredible Hulk movie no one ever talked about – where Tim Roth debuted as Abomination. Specifically, he says “that fight was many years ago, I’m a completely different person now, literally,” referring to the fact that Edward Norton played Bruce Banner at the time.
- Wong and Abomination fight footage, which appears to prove that Blonsky “broke” out of a DODC SuperMax prison, is from the last time we saw an abomination, in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
