Tatiana Maslany just can’t seem to let She-Hulk: Attorney at Law go. In a new interview with Newsweek, Maslany praised the show’s writers for “predicting toxic fan responses” and weaving that backlash into the series itself. One might normally stop short of praising the writers of a show that failed as spectacularly as She-Hulk given that they objectively failed in their one and only goal, but Maslany loves to blame “toxic fans” for the fact that she’s no longer a super hero.
Marvel Studios had high hopes for Daredevil: Born Again, positioning it as a major revival of the Netflix-era Daredevil series and a key effort to win back longtime fans. However, despite Variety and Disney painting the numbers as a success, a closer look reveals a starkly different story.
According to Disney, Daredevil: Born Again drew 7.5 million views in its first five days. Variety calls this a “strong launch,” but in reality, this number falls well below expectations for a series of this magnitude.
