"The triggers are anger and fear."
"Those are like the baseline for any woman just existing."
The above quote sums up this hilarious, clever, delightfully meta first episode. Jennifer Walters is Bruce Banner's cousin and, this being an origin story, gets her powers. But the conceit is that, wonderfully, because she's a woman and has to control her anger every day, she stays totally in control when green and can just change at will, sometrhing which Bruce still cant do after fifteen years.
Jen is witty, likeable, very well written and portrayed, and her desire to just continue practising as a lawyer rather than be a superhero is fun and intriguing. Just as awesome, the breaking of the fourth wall, with Jen constantly addressing the camera, is present and correct, including the fourth wall breaking, which is going to be such fun.
I love the banter between Jen and Bruce, and the subtle, fun, feminist commentary. This is such a fun firsat episode. I'm excited.
