‘She-Hulk’ Finale Director: There Were ‘Conversations’ About MCU Slams

The following comprises spoilers from the She-Hulk finale.

Marvel’s image-conscious overlords had minimal notes on the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law season finale, which envisioned franchise boss Kevin Feige as an A.I.-driven robotic named Ok.E.V.I.N. (Knowledge Enhanced Visual Interconnectivity Nexus) and referred to as out a number of the MCU’s lazier storytelling gadgets.

Kat Coiro, who directed Episodes 1-4 and 8-9, advised TVLine on Friday morning that there have been “conversations” because the mega-meta finale script advanced.

“Marvel is not so much a ‘notes’ place as a ‘conversation,’” she defined, “and a lot of those conversations have to do with where the franchises are headed and what the future is.”

For instance, when Hulk (performed by Mark Ruffalo) resurfaced on the finish to introduce the Walters household to his son (performed at the very least on this occasion by Wil Deusner aka DC’s Stargirl‘s Joey Zarick), “I had an idea that I wanted Skaar to be a toddler, like a Baby Yoda kind of character,” Coiro shared, “but I don’t suppose that’s the place the story is headed.”

Coirio says that when it got here to Jen Walters (performed by Tatiana Maslany) taking Ok.E.V.I.N. to process for the MCU’s over-reliance on flashy, closing fights (in addition to “daddy issues” for its heroes), “Hilariously, I was more nervous about throwing Marvel under the bus than Kevin and the big brass at Marvel was. They were incredibly self-deprecating and incredibly willing to poke fun at themselves.”

Coiro says that Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige (the human) “had a huge hand in the finale” and its “fourth wall-smashing” components, which included She-Hulk fleeing the “mess” of a CGI conflict between Hulk, Abomination, Titania and Hulk Todd, climbing across the Disney+ menu display screen after which strolling throughout the (precise) Disney lot to grouse to the TV collection’ writers. She-Hulk/Jen then confronted the aforementioned Ok.E.V.I.N. contained in the (precise) Marvel places of work and requested a collection of modifications to the finale.

Feige “definitely always wanted to make sure there was a separation between the real Kevin Feige and the K.E.V.I.N.,” Coiro says. But after a little bit of negotiation, “he did let us put the little ‘baseball cap’ on the robot,” like Feige himself famously wears, “so that was good.”
