The She-Hulk writer was about to quit the final argument with Kevin Feige

Strong woman Lead writer Jessica Gau almost quit the show due to a disagreement with Kevin Feige over the ending. During a layover in Comicbook.com’s Phase Zero, the executive producer revealed that she and the Marvel boss were in an argument over putting a hat on KEVIN in the series’ final episode. Fans clearly loved the little robot and the hat was a big reason for that. But, Feige wasn’t feeling it at all. Zhao decided to take a stand on this little moment and joked that she was ready to leave. Her boss handled the matter with a touch of humor as well and the creative team found a solution that worked for everyone.

“The character comes into the real world, splits into Marvel. You’re a machine, and the disbelief you can’t hold is that there’s going to be a baseball cap resting on top of that machine,” Zhao recalls. And he was saying, ‘Yeah, I can’t. That doesn’t make sense. I won’t, you can’t do that.’ And I was so angry. I said, and this is in a meeting with 20 different people. And I said, Kevin, if you don’t let me put a hat on that machine, I quit. .”

And then Kevin said for a moment, ‘Thank you very much Jessica. You’ve done a lot of great work for us. We are sad to see you go. Sweet Jackson Z of Braves, medium and hard worker, then gently suggested if they incorporated something into the machine’s design that could be read as a baseball cap. Then Kevin said, ‘Oh, I’m fine with that. “If it was part of the machine, that of course makes perfect sense! So that was our compromise and I didn’t have to drop a hat on our little robot.”

How did She-Hulk come up with KEVIN?

“I’ve been through so many versions of that ending and I don’t remember what started it, but I do remember promoting She Hulk, because the show is so dead and it was always about breaking the fourth wall and she was always so inspired by the race that she had opinions about her story where she wanted to scream actively on its creators and changing things when they don’t do what’s happening.” “I think I showed her she goes to Marvel Studios, Disney lot and she goes to talk to Kevin, and she first shows that she goes through all the security and then she goes to his office and we throw her in a cool glam like George Clooney in a tuxedo and drinking a martini.”
