She-Hulk's Renee Elise Goldsberry Celebrates Finale with New BTS Video

By Nathaniel Brail

Marvel Studios has officially wrapped up their first season of She-Hulk Attorney at Law, and it's certainly different than anything the studio has done before. During the season finale, we get to see the titular character break the fourth wall more than any Marvel character has before on film, and that's including Deadpool. It's unclear if the series will receive a second season, but they definitely set up some very interesting stuff with the big surprises at the end of the episode. Renee Elise Goldsberry, who plays Mallory Book, a lawyer at She-Hulk's firm, has shared a perfect behind-the-scenes video in time for the season finale which you can check out below.

"#SheHulk  finale airs today! I'm dropping my BTS, but never dropping this family," Goldsberry wrote on Twitter. "The #MCU is what I dreamt it would be… Amazing talent coming together to prove we can all be heroes and save the world with the stories we tell. Thank you for the welcome and for the LOVE! 💚💚💚💚"

The series was the topic of some controversy over how the titular character's visual effects looked. She-Hulk was still being worked on when the first teaser was released so the CGI was unfinished, and fans tore the look apart. With the series so close to premiering, the people behind-the-scenes are spoke on fan outrage. During the TCA's, Jessica Gao, Kat Coiro, and Tatiana Maslany revealed how they felt about the CGI fiasco.

"In terms of the CGI being critiqued, I think that has to do with our culture's belief in its ownership of women's bodies," Coiro said. "I think a lot of the critique comes from feeling like they're able to tear apart the CGI woman. There's a lot of talk about about her body type and we based it on Olympian athletes and not bodybuilders. But I think if we had gone the other way, we would be facing the same critique. I think it's very hard to win when you make women's bodies."

"This is a massive undertaking to have a show where the main character is CG," the head writer says. "It's terrible that a lot of artists feel rushed and and feel that the workload is too massive. I think everybody on this panel is stands in solidarity with all workers. We stand in solidarity with what they say the truth is," Coiro who directed episodes of the series continued. "We work with them, but we're not behind the scenes on these long nights and days. If they're feeling pressure we stand with them and we listen to them."

"I feel incredibly deferential to how talented these artists are and how quickly they have to work. Obviously, much quicker than probably should be given to them in terms of like churning these things out. We have to like be super conscious of the work conditions which aren't always optimal." Maslany added.

"Directed by Kat Coiro (Episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9) and Anu Valia (Episodes 5, 6, 7) with Jessica Gao as head writer, "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" follows Jennifer Walters as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk.
