* How is Bruce able to have a phone call with Jen whilst in space? In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', both Tony and Peter lost the connection to F.R.I.D.A.Y and Karen respectively due to leaving Earth's atmosphere. Now that the wider universe knows about Earth, it’s more than likely [[TechnologyMarchesOn that communications were improved significantly]] due to the co-operations from other planets courtesy of the cosmic members of the Avengers.

** Also, keep in mind the Hulk formula was a Super-Soldier Serum derivative, so the moral enhancement function likely contributed to the creation of the Hulk persona—amplifying Banner’s underlying rage and dissociative disorder from his father’s abuse. Jennifer doesn’t seem to have that problem. If there is moral enhancement, it seemed to have affected her [[LossOfInhibitions confidence]] than anything else. [[note]] This is a recurring point in the comics, that the manner in which Bruce Banner unlocked his powers has as much to do with a person's psychology as well as physicality. Bruce in the comics had severe DID, and the gamma poisoning let that out, with the assorted Hulks being his alters. Blonsky felt like a monster, so he became a monster. Doc Sampson wanted to be a classic IdealHero, so he became exactly that. Jennifer was a shy, mousy young woman, She-Hulk allows her to be a strong, confident, beautiful woman who is outgoing about her desires (especially her sexual ones). How much the series will borrow from this comic interpretation is open for debate, but the groundwork is laid. [[/note]]

Because Bruce, who spent years working on the problem by himself, is acting as her mentor, meaning she's being shown all the necessary tricks.

** One of the key things that Bruce had to learn as a Hulk is the importance of TranquilFury, i.e. "Always angry". Jennifer explains that she has already mastered that because her male co-workers feel a need to explain her job to her every day, or demean her in some other way, and so she has plenty of experience directing her rage.
** Purely in regards to powers, Jen's Hulk form is nowhere as muscular as Bruce's, which means she doesn't have to accommodate for as much extra bulk and weight as Bruce would have to. She largely just has to get a handle on how to apply force safely without overdoing it. This also explains why she's more flexible and agile, as Bruce's large muscles and physical mass would decrease his range of movement.

** Another reason she may be stronger is that Bruce may have sacrificed some of Savage Hulk's raw power in their merger. Professor Hulk isn't quite as bulky and muscular as the Hulk has been previously, indicating that without Savage Hulk's boundless rage, Professor Hulk isn't quite as powerful. Not enough of a decrease in strength to really be relevant. . . unless being measured against another Hulk. This, of course, begs the question: if She-Hulk isn't driven by the boundless rage of a savage alter, just what ''is'' driving the strength of her gamma-enhanced form?
** Also Jen doesn't really have a SplitPersonality. She has better control over her form because it's just her in a new body, while Bruce had to deal with a separate personality.

Restoring removed Fridge. Not speculation, extrapolation from what is shown, which is the essence of Fridge.
Added DiffLines:
* Bruce is at a loss as to why Jen is able to retain her personality while in Hulk form. He finds a genetic sequence that they share that he says allowed her to become a Hulk rather than die from the gamma radiation. He fails to account, at least to her, that the thing they ''don't'' share is a higher level of estrogen.
** Another factor to take into account is the fact that the Hulk is an alter to Bruce due to past trauma. Though it is not explicitly stated what it is in this version of the character, the fact that it had to be something so severe that it laid the groundwork for the Hulk personality when he was young (in the Ang Lee ''Hulk'' film, it was Bruce witnessing his father killing his mother, which has also been used in various versions of the Hulk origin storylines, that lead the seeds of the foundation of Bruce's Hulk personality. So, whatever the MCU's version of the Hulk origin's story is, the event that would lay the foundation for the Hulk's personality would have to be something equally bad, or worse). Jennifer, however, never had such a traumatic event as a child to create a split personality in her past, which is why she still retains her personality.
** There's also the more [[OccamsRazor mundane explanation]] that Bruce spent eighteen months in the Gamma lab putting the brains and the brawn together, and whatever he did to himself carried over to Jen.

* In episode 3, Jen as She-Hulk comes to work in pants despite Jen usually preferring skirts - since she had to get a whole Hulk-size wardrobe at short notice, it's most likely a men's size at the Big & Tall.
** Episode 5 seems to support this, as her lawyer clothes are not particularly flattering and she is told several times that she needs attire that looks better on her She-Hulk frame. She goes to a tailor for superheroes to get special suits made that will adjust to her Jennifer and She-Hulk bodies.

** It's also consistent with Professor Hulk's more lighthearted prankster personality (like using the air horn to wake Jen), now that he doesn't need to worry about avoiding strong emotions--and with Jennifer's superpowers equalling or outclassing Bruce's, he's presumably aware that being tossed off a cliff wouldn't actually harm her.

* A great moment of Foreshadowing comes in the first episode that leads all the way to the end of Episode 8. Bruce tells Jen how important controlling anger as a Hulk is because "once people start seeing you as a monster, it never stops." In the 8th episode this comes true for Jen when she does lose control and yes that is what happens, before the CosmicRetcon.

* Luke Jacobson being completely calm and condemning towards Leapfrog after being kidnapped makes a lot of sense when one realizes that as a professional superhero costume designer, he likely has a big target on his back for criminals who want to hinder the superhero community. As such, there's a pretty big chance that he's been kidnapped by far greater threats than Eugene ever could hope to be, and is taking up time that could've been spent working for other clients. No wonder Luke's so annoyed.
