She-Hulk Episode 8: Easter Eggs, References, And All The Classic Costumes
She-Hulk continues to be one of the most-unique and fun shows to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe age. Each week, we’re getting something fun and refreshing, and even now that we’re on Episode 8, there are still plenty of surprises, and that includes all the Easter eggs and references throughout the episode.
In the episode titled “Ribbit and Rip It,” She-Hulk finds herself representing a new client, who is just so happens to be a vigilante in a super-powered suit–kinda. However, this puts her in the crosshairs of costume designer Luke Jacobson. Additionally, She-Hulk crosses paths for the first time with Matt Murdock (Daredevil).
The Disney+ series also provided a lot of deep cuts from random Marvel Comics books, including very specific references to many first appearances of characters. Below, you’ll find 12 Easter eggs and references from Episode 8 of She-Hulk.
For more Marvel fun, check out the breakdown of the latest Black Panther trailer, the Deadpool 3 announcement, and Easter eggs from Episode 7 of She-Hulk.
Leap-Frog
This is Leap-Frog, a product of the ’80s. He made his first appearance in Marvel Team-Up #121 as a villain who fought Daredevil in his first time out as the villain. The man inside–and inventor of the Leap-Frog suit–Vincent Patilio, spent the following years as a failed super-villain, often losing out to Daredevil. When Leap-Frog was up for trial the first time, he asked Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson to be his lawyers, and Foggy ended up representing him. Throughout the years, Leap-Frog was a D-List villain that never really accomplished anything.
Leap-Frog was created by J.M. DeMatteis and Kerry Gammill.
A departure from the comics
In the comics, Leap-Frog’s suit gives him the ability to jump thanks to springs–very basic and Silver Age tech for a villain, even though he was created in the ’80s. On She-Hulk, Leap-Frog’s abilities come from rockets on his legs.
Luke Jacobson
While the character of Luke Jacobson may come as a fun, one-off to battle wits with She-Hulk as she tries to get outfits that fit her, he’s actually based on an already existing character. In the comics, Jacobson was a famous fashion designer.
Created by Martha Thomases and Tony Salmons, Jacobson made his first appearance in the very short-lived Dakota North comic. Yes, Dakota North. It’s a real Marvel Comic.
Famous Marvel lawyer
Listen, if you’re reading this, then there is a very good chance you’re a fan of the MCU. You’ve probably seen the majority of the movies and TV shows, and you probably watched all those Netflix Marvel series too. But, it’s still important to point out that this gentleman, right here, is Matt Murdock–who is actually Daredevil. Once again, Charlie Cox reprises his role as the lawyer–and vigilante.
Old clothes
The new Daredevil suit is actually a throwback to an old Daredevil suit from the comics. In his first appearance back in 1964, Daredevil wore a red outfit with yellow arms and legs and a yellow helmet.
She-Hulk’s costume
We finally get She-Hulk in a costume, but no, it isn’t her first appearance costume–that was just torn, white cloth. This is new but also pays homage to the color scheme and design of the one she occasionally wore in Dan Slott’s comic run.
Hallway fight!
If there’s one thing we’ve come to know and love about Daredevil, it’s that he loves a good fight in a hallway. This fight here really feels like it pays homage to the original Daredevil fight from Season 1, Episode 2 where he’s taking on the Russian mob. The only difference is that this scene had a lot more cuts that the original fight on the Netflix series–a one-cut battle.
Leap-Frog’s lair
He has his own Leap-Frog signal, henchmen, and a sign declaring a specific area is for “Frog parking only.”
Leap-Frog arcade
We briefly see two arcade games. There’s the well-known Frogger game, and the fictional Leapfrogger game. We will never have any idea how it plays because She-Hulk threw it.
Ripped from the comics
Remember earlier when we talked about Leap-Frog’s first trial and Foggy was his lawyer? Well, during that trial, he got his hands back on his spring-shoes, jumped out a window to escape the trial, and broke his legs. The same thing happened here, except he wasn’t on trial, yet.
Another twist
Jen mentions the twist she thinks is about to arrive, and mentions a “red Hulk.” There totally is a Red Hulk, and there was a big mystery around who he was in human form when the comic came out back in 2008. We know it’s been 14 years since that came out, but we won’t spoil that mystery just in case you want to read that series, which is simply called Hulk. It’s a lot of fun.
“Getting Fridged”
Jen also mentions her getting “Fridged.” In comics, Women in Refrigerators (WiR) is a term coined by comic book writer Gail Simone back in 1999. It refers to an issue of Green Lantern in 1994 where Kyle Rayner’s girlfriend was killed and put in a fridge. WiR refers to a woman getting killed, hurt, or depowered in order to motivate a male character or to push forward his story arc–rather than fleshing out these female characters and making them full-fledged people in a world. It’s women in comics becoming tools or pawns rather than characters.

All New Indiana Jones And Willow Costumes That Were Revealed At D23 Expo
While there were plenty of new trailers, reveals, and more coming out of D23, giving us glimpses of the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney Studios plans, and even what’s to come from Star Wars, there was something even more exciting for fans attending the convention to check out. In an exhibit centered on Lucasfilm, new costumes from the upcoming Willow series on Disney+, as well as outfits from the forthcoming fifth Indiana Jones film were on display.
The costumes are all immaculate, as you’ll see below. Great care has been put into not only creating them but aging every piece just right to make sure it fits the setting it’ll be worn in. From the worn look of Ingy’s boots and messenger bag to the handcrafted look of Willow’s tunic, the attention to detail in these costumes is nothing short of astounding.
Take a look at the costumes from Indiana Jones V and Willow below, along with images of costumes from the upcoming Star Wars series Andor below. The Andor costumes first debuted at San Diego Comic-Con, but being able to view them up close is worth checking out. When you’re done with these costumes, take a look at our coverage of the Disney Archives costume exhibit at D23.

D23 Expo 2022: The Best Costumes, Props, And Star Wars Droids On Display In The Disney 100 Exhibit
While the most exciting aspects about Disney’s D23 Expo are all the the announcements that are made, new footage that is shown, and surprising revelations about the movies and TV shows we can’t wait for, there’s so much more to the event. There’s an entire convention floor stuffed with stores, activations, exhibits, and so much more. One of the most impressive if Step in Time, a 100th anniversary celebration from the Walt Disney Archives.
Step in Time is a walk-through exhibit that showcases a number of costumes, props, and memorabilia from Disney’s 100 years, including old park tickets, drawings, and so many iconic items direct from the sets of several of Disney’s highest profile films.
We were lucky enough to tour Step in Time and snap photos of the best costumes and props on display–including some really cool items from the original Tron film. Take a look at what was shown below. Then, if you’re craving D23 news, check our our breakdowns of everything we learned about upcoming Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, and Disney Studios projects.
Mary Poppins
It doesn’t get more iconic than this, the dress Julie Andrews wore when she played Marry Poppins in the 1964 film.
Haunted Mansion
While the majority of the props and costumes shown off were from Disney films, the parks did have some very good representation–including these props from the attic of the Haunted Mansion attraction at Walt Disney World.
More Haunted Mansion
As you can see, there is quite a bit of “stuff” from the attic of the mansion that Disney has been collecting over the years.
The Bride
The last look at Haunted Mansion artifacts is this bride from the attic, which was formerly used on the ride.
Sark’s helmet from Tron
This is the helmet worn by David Warner in the original Tron film, in which he played Sark. It’s amazing that this is still in such good condition after so many years.
Clu’s helmet and an Identity Disc from Tron
Two more pieces on display in the Tron portion of the exhibit is the helmet worn by Clu, played by Jeff Bridges in the film, and an Identity Disc, one of the most iconic props from the film.
Dick Tracy costume
This is the actual hat and trench coat worn by Warren Beatty in the movie Dick Tracy.
“Big Boy” Caprice’s suit
Tracy’s nemesis, “Big Boy,” wore this sharp red jacket. Those that have seen the film will recall Al Pacino’s portrayal of “Big Boy” Caprice.
Two of Big Boy’s henchmen
The Dick Tracy section also included two more suits from the film, assumedly worn by “Big Boy’s” colorful henchmen.
Breathless Mahoney costume
This black dress was worn by none other than Madonna, who played Breathless Mahoney in the film.
The Millennium Falcon
These pieces of the Falcon are from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was with the launch of that movie that Disney began archiving props and costumes from the franchise.
BB-8
This iconic droid was first introduced in The Force Awakens.
R2-D2
Another droid on display was a screen-used R2-D2.
C-3PO
Take a good look at this C-3PO costume. It does not look comfortable at all, especially given that so much of these movies is shot in the desert.
D-O
This little wheel droid was first seen on the big screen in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Enter the World of Willow With these Detailed Cast Costumes
When last we left the world of Willow, a would-be sorcerer helped defeat an evil queen and put her rightful heir on the path to the throne. Now, decades later, Willow returns, this time on Disney+, and the D23 Expo has several costumes from the show on display.
