Marvel fans are criticizing a clip from the show “She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.”
IMDb posted on its Twitter account the clip along with a caption, saying, “Ahem Say it louder for the people in the back.”
The clip shows the character Jennifer Walters, played by Tatiana Maslany, pushing a pro-feminism message during a conversation with Hulk.
“Here’s the thing Bruce, I’m great at controlling my anger. I do it all the time,” Walters says.
She adds, “When I’m cat-called in the street. When incompetent men explain my own area of expertise to me. I do it pretty much every day because if I don’t, I will get called emotional or difficult or might just literally get murdered.”
Walters continues, “So I’m an expert at controlling my anger because I do it infinitely more than you!”

Critics did not have an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the dialogue.
One user tweeted, “I am SO ASHAMED of being a woman because of crap like THIS! If we are truly equal, whining and crying all the time is NOT proving that. Humiliating. I thought I would watch this. I take that back immediately.”
