Thus, She-Hulk broadens the MCU's discussion of human sexuality in a positive way - all while also having a fun callback to Avengers: Endgame. This new light reflects the conversations real fans have had about Captain America's ass, bringing those conversations into the official universe without judgement. Ultimately, She-Hulk's interpretation of the Captain America's ass joke reframes it through Jen's eyes, which filters it through her character's horniness - and her relationship to sex - and effectively shines a new light on the Endgame joke. As a result, She-Hulk comes off as a well-developed and relatable character (seriously, what MCU fan who's attracted to men hasn't drunkenly cried over Captain America's ass?). Between Jen's open appreciation of Steve Rogers' ass, her fixation on his sex life and future episodes tackling her dating, She-Hulk has a positive and nuanced relationship to sex, making her unlike any other female character in the MCU. There were several folks who werent happy with the fact that Marvel was allegedly 'pandering' to feminists for casting a woman to play Captain Marvel, who was originally a man, in the comics by the name of Walter Lawson. Sure, Tony Stark and Peter Quill's sexual exploits are referenced and lauded, but the women they sleep with (besides their main love interests) are often not given much agency of their own. Beyond just depicting its lead character as horny, though, the She-Hulk credits scene gives Jen an ownership over her sexuality that's not typically afforded women in the MCU.
