The Hulk TV show was basically:
"David" Banner walks into town. (TV show execs thought "Bruce" wasn't masculine enough).
Experiences some heinous small town injustice.
Turns into the Hulk exactly twice to solve the problem.
Walks off to the next small town to sad piano music.
I don't know of a Hulk run that's as... limited as the TV show is. Comics don't have a special effects budget. :)
That's fair. I haven't watched the show so I wasn't sure what it entailed.
There were several nice referrnces to it in the MCU for fans...
Lou Ferigno showed up as a security guard.
In the Ed Norton movie, he's learning bad Portuguese and spits out "Don't make me hungry, you wouldn't like me when I'm hungry." In the TV show the iconic line was "angry".
At the end of the Ed Norton movie, he's hiding out in Alaska under the name "David Banner" complete with sad piano music.
As much as I loved that show as a kid, it was pretty one note. The other person who commented summed it up pretty well. There aren't any comics I know of that follow the shows premise, but if you want some really amazing Incredible Hulk stories I recommend anything from Peter David's run from the late 80s to around the early 2000s! Those are my favorite ones!
I'll check those out. Thanks!
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
