** The "Fem Hulk" form, a {{gonk}}y She-Hulk more in line with She-Thing in terms of physical appearance (aka "The Hulk with Boobs"), that Jen developed as a result of the aforementioned "Gray Savage Hulk" storyline is a highly contentious angle. It has its hardcore defenders, often rallying around the idea that She-Hulk's original design was sexist, but also a large and vocal {{hatedom}}, whose complaints range from disapproval of the {{gonk}}y design to those who argue that it makes no sense, since She-Hulk is supposed to be an embodiment of Jennifer's repressed desires and wishes, rather than an expression of pent-up rage and self-loathing like her cousin.[[note]]In a nutshell, Hulk is Bruce's inner monster, embodying his repressed anger and sorrow; She-Hulk was conceived of as Jennifer's inner ''bombshell'', the confident, sexual and fearless woman she always wanted to be. The two are very different base concepts, so it makes sense that the two forms would look differently.[[/note]]

** Her focus issue in ''ComicBook/TheAvengers (2018) #20'' became ''infamous'' for Jason Aaron's TakeThatCritics {{AuthorTract}}s.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
This is pretty much an exact copy of the entry in the Author Tract page. We've already got a decent chunk of this page made up of criticizing Aaron's take on the character so may as well abbreviate some of it.


* AuthorTract: ''ComicBook/TheAvengers (2018) #20'' is pretty much an entire issue dedicated to Jason Aaron using Jennifer to [[TakeThatCritics deliver a meta-mockery of everyone who has criticized his run on her]]. The most infamous highlight has to be the sequence where she notes that [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] once confessed to envying her, because her Hulk form was far less threatening and more socially acceptable than his own deformed and monstrous body -- and she, incensed by it, retorted by complaining to him how her form was less frightening, but she was also the target of constantly being hit on by her allies, lusted after by civilians, exploited by sleazy paparazzi, and groped during her fights with supervillains. The issue literally concludes with her stating that she loves being ugly and scary like Bruce, and she wouldn't go back to her older She-Hulk bodies if she had the choice.

In spite of the hardships Jen has had to endure in her superheroing life and career, it's absolutely sunshine ans rainbows compared to what happens to [[CosmicChewToy Bruce.]]

But the trade off is that now Jen loses some intelligence when she is in Hulk mode, even occasionally using HulkSpeak in a non-joking fashion because that's how "articulate" her form has become.

** [[spoiler:And then there's the reveal (thanks to pre-order advertisement) that the trauma of being killed/put into a coma and all the crap that happened on Civil War II because of Carol (apparently) misunderstanding her "last words" ''made her so traumatized that she has devolved into a pure rage-filled, grey Hulk'' (the relaunch of her series even ditched the "She-" from the title), with the series' creators telling that the thing will be an exploration of how Jennifer is now more like Bruce, seen as a monster and yet still being heroic and her struggles with said trauma...]] The fact that people love her because she's FunPersonified have taken this quite badly and denounce it as yet another example of Marvel shitting on a character (ex. "Superior Spider-Man" or Robbie Baldwin/Speedball/Penance) for the sake of shock value.

moved to Old Man Logan page


* {{Squick}}: In the alternate universe "Old Man Logan," a trio of redneck Hulks rule over the West Coast. The implication is that the Hulk raped Jennifer and had children with her (his [[KissingCousins first cousin]]) because she was the only one who could "handle" having sex with The Hulk.

** [[spoiler:Jennifer's death on ''ComicBook/CivilWarII''. Made even more raging because it was done by an attack that she has survived before (and her reaction to being hit is borderline {{Narm}}). The whole scene has been argued back and forth (alongside Rhodey's death) as an example of StuffedInTheFridge in order to make Carol's (and Tony's) WellIntentionedExtremist (and TookALevelInJerkass) bent more sympathetic than it was on the first ''ComicBook/CivilWar''.]]
