At least She-Hulk is a lawyer. Diana Prince is a WAC.
Oh, wait, she's a secret agent.
Oh, wait, she's... what is she again?

She's a nurse/secretary/Military Intelligence officer/Boutique Owner/adventurer/Princess/Ambassador/fast food worker/Secret Agent/Amazon.

Yes.

Unfortunately, Kelley has a habit of homogenizing all his shows into, basically, a remake of "LA Law."

Even "Picket Fences" (an aging sheriff tries to keep the peace in a small town plagued by bizarre occurrences) and "Chicago Hope" (the lives and trials of the staff of a major hospital in Chicago) quickly turned into "lawsuit of the week" shows.

As such, even when Kelley steps out of his comfort zone he seems to have a propensity to quickly pull himself (and the series) back into it.

That would be my worry. As for the comfort zone, the one episode of Chicago Hope that I ever saw even featured a legal action! I love Boston Legal as much as the next Shat fan but please David, no courtroom antics for WW.
 
I think it's unavoidable if Kelley continues with the series in a very actively involved manner. Perhaps the ideal situation might be for Kelley to step back after doing the pilot or first few episodes into a more supervisory role while someone else (not inclined to do courtroom episodes) takes over as the daily showrunner...

Trust me. It wasn't just that one episode. Fairly quickly, Kelley started doing stories featuring the hospital's in-house attorney (played by Peter MacNichol as basically the same character he played on Ally McBeal, albeit with a different name).

It's made of plastic.

What is it supposed to be made of, adamantine? :rolleyes:

Whatever magic substance Amazons use, I suppose.

I'm guessing, whatever that is, it ain't plastic.

I'm guessing that, whatever it is, it has to look like something...and that may just as well be PVC as silk, Spandex or the kind of plastic "metal" that we get in stuff like Thor.

To be fair, Boston Public, one of his strongest shows IMHO, didn't go "courtroom" and it ran for a solid 4 seasons.

They did have quite a few courtroom episodes though. Still a great show, mind.
 
Boston Public is my favorite of his shows and makes me feel he can do fine with Wonder Woman. DEK is willing to do great stresses stresses on his characters and can do so without being in the courtroom. I think folks are over imagining the place of courtrooms in all his dramas. Even Ally McBeal did a lot of its character building and situations outside the courts. Being legal dramas courtroom language, concerns and backdrops are inevitable, but they are not the only thing to happen on his shows.
 
I'm not concerned about the courtroom thing, I'm concerned it's just going to be another glorified workplace dramedy like Ugly Betty, where it's basically just beautiful people walking around beautiful offices in fashionable outfits, cracking jokes, getting in petty arguments, etc.

And now and then there's some emergency where Diana has to slip out and rescue someone. lol

I'd argue that it only had one solid season. I didn't even know if was on for 4. I stopped watching when the Hook Lady became the star of the show.
 
I actually want to check out the non watermarked images...but I am not sure how bad the not safe for work site is. :lol:

[edit] Nevermind.
