THE INCREDIBLE HULK PATREON WATCH ALONG!

Comments

2003 Hulk was mid. This is the superior solo Hulk outing. I personally prefer Ruffalo as Banner, though.

The 2003 Hulk is a weird movie. They got Ang Lee from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon fame and he made a very literal comic book movie. It has comic book panels, and art, and Hulk looks like he’s made of green marshmallow. It’s… experimental and weird. The reaction would be dope but it’s an ambitiously bad movie.

Well there is few things to unpack. One, agree with you, this is a weak Marvel movie. After watching the whole MCU you see that this movie is the black sheep of the bunch. Not the worst, that honour lies with Thor, Dark world. You do see hulk naked butt much later in MCU but, you need to watch a lot of MCU movie to get there and for things to make sense. Also I feel like you would like to see the interaction between Hulk and Ironman. That only happen in the Avengers movies. I know you don’t like the Avenger movies, but stories and character growth roll through all the films. A lot of the jokes and quips that are missing from this movies do return in the remainder of the MCU movies. Plus the writing is a lot better from here on out. I do hope you continue to watch the MCU in release order. I think you will be quite surprised by how tightly weaved the story is and the character growth. Especially Ironman story arc.

I prefer the Ang Lee movie but it's not a typical superhero movie. It's more of a phycological thriller. There is a big fight scene but the build up to the fight is a deep dive into the life story and pathology of Dr. Bruce Banner. **"HULK" IS THE ORIGIN STORY.** "The Incredible Hulk" disposes of the origin in the opening credits. "Hulk" is the origin story that is missing if you go straight to "Incredible". There are also some of the most inventive and imaginative dissolves from one scene to another that I have ever seen in a movie.

***** ONE CRITICAL COMMENT: DON'T SIT IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN. ***** Reactors sit to one side so we can enlarge the play of the original movie to something bigger than a postage stamp. It doesn't matter which side you want to be on but PICK A SIDE. Please.

Who Owns Hulk? During the release of this film Hulk was owned by Universal. Marvel then managed to negotiate a deal with them to use the character in the MCU movies, but distribution rights stayed with Universal for all solo Hulk movies. Marvel has the rights to the character and can technically produce a solo Hulk film but Universal has the right to refuse to distribute any stand-alone Hulk movies. Back around June 2023 the rights to "The Incredible Hulk" reverted to Marvel Studios but this only refers to the 2008 film. This is also why The Incredible Hulks (2008) was added to Disney plus just last year similar to how most of the Spider-Man films and cartoons were added to Disney Plus at a later date as Sony own the rights to Spider-Man. X-Men and Fantastic Four were added at a later date as well after Disney bought Fox, as of 2024 most Marvel films and shows can be found on Disney Plus. Versions of The Hulk: I like elements of this film but it's far from my favourite take on the Hulk. You really need a whole TV series to explore the depth of Hulk and Bruce Banner as a character something you cannot get across in a single film, Ang Lee's 2003 movie tried this and in many ways was a really cool experimental film that stands out regardless if you think it's good or not. But nothing comes close to Hulk from the 1990s Incredible Hulk cartoon and Earth's Mightiest Hero's from 2010. Marvel Animated Hulk is just really good and thats thanks to animation being alot cheaper than live action and the benefits of having a season worth of storytelling spread across story arcs. The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes has one of the best takes on the Hulk/Bruce along with the spin off same continuity Hulk vs Wolverine (2009) film that adapted The Incredible Hulk #180 (1974) the first appearance of Wolverine. My personal favourite Bruce Banner and Hulk just so good. The 1990s Hulk cartoon was really fun as well diving into the complexly of the Man and the Monster and really exploring Bruce's relationships. I'll leave a little link to the Intro to the show as it's just really cool The Incredible Hulk Intro (1996) Link - https://youtu.be/dyQpEoMFF3w The Incredible Hulk (1978) was also really good at depicting Bruce... I mean "David" Banner as someone with ALOT of problems, diving into real issues surrounding mental health, depression, etc. Show did justice to this aspect of Banner but the name change was very odd but common for the time. According to Stan Lee and Lou Ferrigno (Hulk Actor) the change was made because CBS thought the name Bruce sounded "too gay-ish"... MCU Origin: Speaking on Hulks origin story we don't get much as the film skips the whole origin story. But summed up the U.S Government and Army were working on replicating The Super Soldier serum (Important moving forward) for decades but to no avail. Banner was pressured by Ross to take part in the project, Banner in the end uses a special primer and too much Gamma radiation, causing the experiment to "fail" where he transforms into the Hulk injuring Betty Ross and her father. This is all depicted in the opening introduction of the film. Mainline Comics (Earth-616) Origin: In the Mainline Comics the U.S Army and Ross were testing a new Gamma Bomb on a nuclear site when a teenager called Rick Jones wondered into the blast area, Bruce told his colleague Igor Starsky to delay the countdown but Igor secretly a Soviet agent, did nothing and hoped Bruce would die in the explosion in hopes of the Gamma Project being stopped. Bruce threw Rick Jones into a protective trench shielding him from the blast while Bruce was hit by the blast of the Gamma Bomb turning him into The Hulk. Very 1960s Cold War storyline fitting the time period Hulk was introduced in Incredible Hulk #1 (March, 1962). Ultimate Universe (Earth-1610) Origin: The MCU Hulk origin pulled more from the Ultimate Universe a re-imagined and modernized continuity from the 2000s. Here Nick Fury gathered together a think tank during the late 1980s to early 1990s with the goal of re-creating the Super Solider Serum. Bruce was apart of this think tank and experimented on himself with a version of the Super Solider Serum only for him to turn into The Hulk injuring a few people before running away all very similar to this film. MCU Mixture: The MCU is like a melting pot of the Mainline Marvel Comics mixed with The Ultimate Universe and of course the MCU's own little changes and takes on characters, events, and places. For the Hulk they just brought the Gamma and General Ross aspects from the mainline comics and mixed them together with the Super Solider Serum program. I like both origin stories tbh the Gamma Bomb incident is pretty heroic and a cool concept but so is connecting Hulk to the Super Solider Serum, both tragic origins. Iron Man for example solely pulls from his Mainline Comics origin they just changed the setting and time period from the Vietnam War to the War on Terror in Afghanistan. The Ultimate Universe focused more on the War of Terror as well with most comics being set pre 9/11 something you'll notice alot in modern comic books films, shows, and movies, We really do need more period Superhero films or at least ones with a timeless art direction.

Two other points of trivia not covered in the comments: In the beginning, when Norton is watching TV there is a brief glimpse of Bill Bixby in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father", the TV series that Bixby landed AFTER playing Dr. Bruce Banner in the Hulk TV show (1977–1982). Later the security guard that Norton bribes with a pizza is Lou Ferrigno, who played the big green guy in the same TV show. But that Hulk was limited to beating up bad guys instead of throwing around tanks.

Though on the show, he went by Bruce David Banner because because someone thought Bruce Banner sounded to homosexual. Also was the creation of aunt Harriet on the 60s Batman show. They thought 3 men would be to odd.

Maybe we thought the other movie would be spoilers?

I watch a lot of music & movie/TV reactions and most of them manage it. Maybe you could reach out to one and ask how they do it.

Well won’t I bite your head off regardless how react. You might face some resistance. I also like to hear you are keeping it real.
