She-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episode 3 - Now let’s talk about the twerking. Video Version: https://youtu.be/lajdKUDn2CQ For better or worse, She-Hulk is different. And that brings us back to the twerking.   Bringing Megan of the Stallion Persuasion on to twerk with a Marvel superhero is an absolute hurricane of cringe. Even the pre-release headlines that reported Megan was “joining the MCU” were cringey, as though she was going to square up against Kang. And that was before we knew a wide-eyed green CGI monster lady would breathlessly tell her “I will kill for you, Megan Thee Stallion.”  And yet … is it possible for something to be so earnestly cringe that it rides the horseshoe all the way back to being kind of funny again? Based on my loud, perhaps regretful laugh upon hearing Meg ask Jen Walters to “dial it back” then yeah, probably! Comedy is a complicated beast with many contextual and cultural factors at play. But sometimes it really is just a binary: either something makes you laugh or it doesn’t. With “The People vs. Emil Blonsky,” many of She-Hulk’s jokes finally start to land.
