Renew She-Hulk: Attorney At Law for an ideally-longer S2

The Issue

Whereas; if She-Hulk fails (in staying power) where male-led MCU can-be-more-than-a-miniseries shows like Loki and Moon Knight have succeeded then at minimum butthurt fanboys will use that as proof people don't want to watch stuff about female superheroes

Whereas; the writers have already stated an aversion to long trial arcs so if we want more content perhaps more seasons would just give us more trials (and maybe challenge them to write more compelling trial scenes)

Whereas; on a similar note asking for the next season to be longer makes sense because She-Hulk is framed as a sitcom and also kind of a procedural even more than it's a superhero show in terms of how the story's told and those are the two kinds of show least immune to the trend of shrinking seasons so it's natural that even by Disney+ MCU show standards of season length, SHAAL S2 should have a longer season

Whereas; (and it'd be more likely with a longer season as they could just do a double-length episode) it'd be a metaphorical crime if a series with that level of playing fast and loose with its own nature/fictionality and two Broadway stars in what's presumably (from the way their casting was announced) series-regular roles (Josh Segarra and Renee Elise Goldsberry) doesn't have a musical episode at some point

Whereas; with the level of cultural penetration Marvel has think of the little girls who might see this (whether or not it's appropriate) and either just be empowered because cool female superhero or be inspired by Jennifer as much as She-Hulk iykwim and end up interested in law

Whereas; even in just what we've seen so far this is a good example of a show with the Orange Is The New Black effect of strong white female-lead "trojan-horse-ing" people into connecting with diverse supporting cast and it deserves as much time as it can to do that seeing what OITNB was able to do

Therefore; She-Hulk: Attorney At Law should be renewed for S2 and ideally a S2 with more episodes
