Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

She does have the right hair colour.
But Titania is supposed to be a massive giant of a woman (same as She-Hulk when transformed).
Becky is only 5'6, while Titania is 6'6.
Edit: Also, I know everyone has been calling bullshit on Whedon's belief that the Avengers are completely unstoppable once they are all moving in the same direction, so their only enemy is really themselves, and while I'll agree that Ultron maybe wasn't as big a threat as he could have been (he probably needed a bit more build up for one), and that the group constantly fighting amongst itself should have stopped being a thing after the first movie...
Don't the events of both Infinity War and Endgame kinda prove him right.
The team lost badly when they were scattered (Thor heading to Ndavaleir(sp), Tony in space with Strange and Spidey, and the others on earth), while when they came together as a team in Endgame with a united purpose, they travelled through time and space itself, undid a universal disaster, and then when the person who defeated them came from the past to challenge them again, gathered up an army from all over that newly restored universe to beat his purple chinned ass into the ground.
So....yeah. Avengers Assemble baby.

One Strip! One Strip!Titania makes a lot of sense.
I wouldn't think Moonstone though. I have no idea how good of an actress Lynch is, but I'd think for that kind of role (ditto She-Hulk herself), you'd probably prioritize acting talent over pre-existing muscles. And since Carol isn't particularly muscle-bound, I wouldn't expect Moonstone to be either.
Personally, I like Gillian Jacobs for Moonstone.

It is possible that this version of Titania is going to be a Pint-Sized Powerhouse compared to She-Hulk.
Considering that Absorbing Man is already dead, I guess this version of Titania will be single, or they will use another villain with super strength like Suspiciously Similar Substitute.
Absorbing Man appearing would put the nail in the coffin for any relevance of AoS to the MCU. I actually thought Captain Marvel would do that, but it has been surprisingly gentle with AoS canon (or at least not much less than with the Avengers movies canon).
Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.Well... AOS used Absorbing Man in the first place because they couldn't make Hulk content at the time and the Thor movies had no interest in being terrestrial. Same way AOS used a few Iron Man villains that either weren't claimed by the movies or (afterwards) were in limbo because his series was over.
Now that we're getting Hulk content and there's a new human Thor on the way, the mythoses the villain is attached to are actually open - it'd be a shame if he couldn't appear because a tie-in series already killed him off.
For the same reason, I'm expecting the She Hulk series to ignore the bit from the Black Widow tie-in about The Leader being dead.

Maybe they can have Agents of Shield's upcoming Time Travel plot alter things so Creel doesn't die somehow?
That might be expecting too much (as already said, they tend to just ignore the series utterly, despite continually renewing it) but if they are going to bring Creel back for something else, then they can at least set it up so that the series many people have watched and enjoyed for years isn't tossed under the bus.
One Strip! One Strip!It's possible, but I don't know if it's likely. The different studios that make the different tv series don't seem to coordinate too often. If She-Hulk is planning to use Titania and Absorbing Man, the AOS team might not know about it until it happens, which means in an upcoming storyline they would just have to guess about what to undo or not.

They don't really need to go all out for it anyway.
A couple years ago, the Arrovwerse did a thing where a bunch of villains from all the universe's other shows teamed up in Legends of Tomorrow. At the end of this plot, the Legends straight up killed off The Flash's archenemy - literally erased him from all of time forever. But... y'know... if a guy like this was going to be written out for good, it would be in his own series, so he was back the very next season of The Flash with pretty much no explanation.
Heck, I distinctly remember AOS itself having the heroes wipe out all of HYDRA twice, because after the first time they did it HYDRA showed up in Ant-Man or something, requiring them to explain that they hadn't finished the job before and now they were really doing it.
If She Hulk wants to use the character and also wants to acknowledge AOS killing him off, they'll think of something. "I regenerated from a single transmuted cell," or "that was a duplicate I made," or "a tiny bit of me managed to escape" or somesuch comic booky stuff.
