She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 MCU Easter Eggs and Comic Book References
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 has been an eventful run of the series especially for the mid-season episode, it just changes the tone of everything as soon as it deals with the more serious matters. It remains to have tons of Easter eggs and here are some of the most notable ones.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 Easter Eggs: Titania LLC vs Jennifer Walters
The case between She-Hulk and Titania is actually a callback to a real-life event that happened some time in the 80s when The Incredible Hulk on CBS was at the height of its success and that worried Marvel as they bring in She-Hulk so that CBS wouldn't do a spinoff. By that time, it was a battle of Intellectual Property rights.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 Easter Eggs: Alonzo, The Drip Broker
Is the term "drip broker," familiar? To start, breaking it down, the term "drip" is a slang for fashion so it just means that the "drip broker" works in an underground fashion atelier, similar to another broker already introduced in the MCU -- the Power Broker in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
Also, does the name "Alonzo" ring a bell? Well, this name is probably a huge nod to Marvel Studios' President for Visual Effects, Animation, and Post-Production, and Executive Producer of the series, Victoria Alonso, and to the previous Editor-in-Chief of Marvel comics, Axel Alonso.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 Easter Eggs: "Avongers" Ensemble
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 also has a hilarious take on bootleg products. Usually, movies and series bank on their merchandise for promotion and they are highly susceptible to get rip-offs which is funny because there's "Avongers," even "Avingers," with a variety, huh?
Well, the official Twitter page of the Avengers took this opportunity and they renamed their page "Avongers." These brands are really susceptible to a lot of bootleg items and the show recognizes that to be a problem, something that they can make fun of.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 Easter Eggs: Mallory Book, Attorney at Law
Renée Elise Goldsberry makes her MCU debut in the most fashionably remarkable way as she plays a pivotal character in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law as Mallory Book, a character from the comics who becomes Jen's rival, and later, her boss.
In the comics, Mallory Book has a huge reputation being "the face that never lost a case," and seeing what she did in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5, she looks like she would never back down, not a single inch from her high heels.

She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 Easter Eggs: Luke Jacobson, The Fashion Genius
Another character straight out of the comics is Luke Jacobson who is connected to Dakota North. In She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, Luke is an established fashion designer for superheroes, he could put some built-in weaponry, some fire or water resistance in suits.
Luke Jacobson appeared in the comics as the client of Dakota North who have threats fashion-related. Though he hasn't appeared in the comics since then, it's a wise choice to pull him out of the papers and into the series. And his attitude? It's very Edna Mode from The Incredibles!
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 Easter Eggs: Titania Compares Jen to Shrek
In court, Titania also gives a callback to all those who mocked She-Hulk when it dropped its first look. See, fans compared She-Hulk to Shrek or even his wife, Fiona. Well, life gave Marvel some lemons so they literally made some lemonade.
Jameela Jamil doesn't stop there, she even tweeted, "weird that we have never seen "She-Hulk" and Princess Fiona in the same room at the same time no?" Jamil just threw that right in the open real quick and the makers of the show are fine with it.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 Easter Eggs: Daredevil's Helmet
The ending of She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 teases the much awaited arrival of Daredevil with his yellow helmet sitting around Luke Jacobson's atelier. See, this could be something like a new start for him with a new suit under a new franchise.
It remains a question whether the story of Daredevil will be a continuation from the Netflix series or will it be something new but considering that he's getting a new costume, it might be a total reboot of his story with the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again.
She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 5 Easter Eggs: Pug's Shoe Collection
The Easter eggs don't stop there, the credits scene shows some of it, too. There's Pug's caricature with Nikki as he shows off his sneaker collection from various MCU characters and those who are yet to arrive. He wants to get some Iron Man 3's, an Easter egg from She-Hulk: Attorney At Law Episode 2.
Well, Pug already has sneakers with the designs based on Doctor Strange, Nova, Falcon, two Captain Marvels with one for Carol Danvers and the other from Mar-vell, Green Goblin, Deadpool, Doctor Doom, The Thing, Cyclops, Scarlet Spider, and Black Panther.
