And by the way, no one is telling me this, this is just me mistakenly thinking this.
But that was my expectation: ‘Now was the time to do the Marvel ending.’
But none of them felt right."
And the inspiration to break all the Marvel rules came from a very surprising source.
“He said, ‘This isn’t a Marvel movie.
You’re not making a Marvel movie, so why are you trying to force a Marvel movie ending?
This show from the beginning has been completely different than anything we’ve ever done.
Make it its own thing.
Do what you want to do with it.’
And the idea for making Feige an A.I.
robot also went through multiple different ideas first.
While everyone in the writers room loved that idea, Gao tried to one-up it again.
And then the room revolted against me,” she admits with a laugh.
“This writer Zeb Wells started screaming at me, ‘What are we talking about here?
Kevin is a puppy?!’
And so Kevin is a robot.”
Gao even wanted to get the real Feige to voice the K.E.V.I.N.
“He shut that down immediately and definitively.
But he was totally open to all of the rest of it.
That scene is very much a reflection of the relationship I have with Kevin in real life.
So much of what they say to each other is from actual conversations I’ve had with Kevin.”
The first season ofShe-Hulk: Attorney at Lawis now streaming on Disney+.
