Walters, while attempting to get Banner to safety, is accidentally contaminated by his blood when it drips into a wound on her arm, causing her to transform into a Hulk and run away.

[4][5] Executive producers include Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Brad Winderbaum, in addition to Coiro and Gao.

Gao also felt that Banner in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) had been tortured by being the Hulk, and that he would not willingly choose to put that curse on someone else by deliberately giving her a blood transfusion.

[12] Mark Ruffalo enjoyed seeing some of the "everyday life" of Banner since not much was known about the character "outside of fighting for the universe", with the episode able to "dig in" to it after exploring a little of it in Thor: Ragnarok (2017).

Conversations were also had with Feige and Marvel Studios about using Walters' DNA to help heal Banner's injured arm from the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019) and how that fit into the larger plans and narrative of the MCU.

[15] Steve Rogers actor Chris Evans had previously discussed the possibility of the character being a virgin or not in 2014, speculating that maybe one of the USO tour dance girls "blew his mind", though he preferred to believe he was waiting for Peggy Carter.

[17] The episode stars Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk, Jameela Jamil as Titania, Ginger Gonzaga as Nikki Ramos, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Smart Hulk.

[19]: 33:23 [20] Filming occurred at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia,[21] with Coiro directing the episode,[4][5] and Florian Ballhaus serving as cinematographer.

[24] Visual effects for the episode were created by Wētā FX, Digital Domain, Wylie Co, Cantina Creative, Stereo D, Capital T, Keep Me Posted, and Lightstage.

[19]: 34:31–34:47 [25] The following songs are featured in the episode: "Money On It" by Together Pangea, "Next Thing You Know" by Robin & The Rocks, "Asleep in the Clouds" by Wenda Williamson, "I Want to Be With You" by George Simms, "Fast (Motion)" by Saweetie, "Porro Bonito" by Orquesta Ritmo De Sabanas, "Cumbia Caletera" by Tito Nunez y su Orquesta, "Licked and Live on Ludlow" by Deep East Music, "Who's That Girl?"

[28] According to market research company Parrot Analytics, which looks at consumer engagement in consumer research, streaming, downloads, and on social media, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law claimed the top spot in the weekly breakout shows ranking, which is defined as the most in-demand series that have premiered in the past 100 days, with a demand level of 25.1 times the average series from August 13-19, 2022.

[32] JustWatch, a guide to streaming content with access to data from more than 20 million users around the world, estimated that She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was the second most-streamed series in the U.S. through August 21, 2022.

The site's critical consensus reads, "The jury's still out on where the rest of the season will lead, but as an opening argument, this table-setting installment of She-Hulk is plenty of fun".

[36] Collider's Arezou Amin gave "A Normal Amount of Rage" an "A–", saying the episode "brings a much-needed dose of levity to the Marvel TV landscape".

Regarding Hulk and She-Hulk fighting, Framke said Coriro "does her best to avoid Marvel's traditionally muddy battles by making this one feel more elastic".

Club, Jenna Scherer gave the episode a "B+", feeling Walters was "a little thinly written so far, [but] Maslany's charm makes us immediately fall in love with her".

Scherer was not completely on board with the digital design, noting She-Hulk was big but does not look "particularly strong" compared to Hulk, adding "[e]ven a show explicitly about the ways women are denied power can't escape feminine body stereotypes".

[18] Kirsten Howard for Den of Geek gave the episode 2.5 out of 4, and said it was "a competent introduction to the character of Jennifer Walters", praising Maslany and called the visual effects "mostly fine" with a few moments that "look a bit dodgy".
