After being bombarded with a massive dose of gamma radiation while saving a young man's life during an experimental bomb testing, Dr. Robert Bruce Banner was transformed into the Incredible Hulk: a green behemoth who is the living personification of rage and pure physical strength.
maybe to match the avengers movie and bring in new readers?
Yeah, they're pretty much just doing this...
you would think that but... i saw that stupid looking hulk armor hulk was wearing in marvel now. thats bound to confuse new readers more than anything else...
@ZombieBigfoot: I actually Kinda liked that arc it was something different & some what creative in my opinion
@z1co80: I hear you but its just idk... he was having convos with banner & dooms daughter & now...
hes fighting with wolverine about cake... he was doing so well :(
I wonder if he even remembers world war hulk or is he just thinking about smashing?
I liked Greg Pack's Hulk, I really did. Hulk finally found a compromise with Banner, he finally accepted who he was. But the other day I read Avengers Assemble with Thanos as a major threat and I was greatly disappointed. The Hulk speaks like 4 year old again(((( Why they make him retarded again is beyond me..... I like him smash things without taking then
I findes well that the old Hulk does not disappear.
It meant waiting even once the over 1000 Hulks in Banner subconscious.
I'm concerned he could ruig often weckseln personality.
The Hulk-the-beast could come ruig sometimes free.
Think it would be intresting if a good hulk Semite himself in the fight would turn into an evil Hulk weckseln and then the sides would.
Needs but a good author. After all, to the Hulks yes differ not only in the look and the attitude. The-beast-Hulk one may like to note the joy-be finally free. Or the despair he must resist in Banner head.
I prefer a dumber Hulk it which allows a better dynamic with Bruce Banner. I hate it when they make Hulk smart. I also absolutely hated it when they tried to make Banner the bad one. Hulk should be the result of Banners suppressed rage and shouldn't be treated as two separate beings even if Hulk thinks he is.
Because, due to the popularity of the movies and the corporate mantra of trying to make the most money right now, this very moment, that's how the public knows, thinks of, remembers and want the Hulk to be: Stupid.
I feel he appeals to more people who may not even like Hulk when he's smart.
He doesn't even need to be smart, just not retarded. Let him form sentences and have more personality for a while.
I find smart Hulk stories incredibly stupid in their beginning premise. As Hulk only gets strong when he is mind numbingly angry... He is not supposed to be stupid. Just blindly raging
A stupid Hulk makes no sense please bring back the smart hulk one that can defend himself and at least fight on the right side. Yeah the childish tantrums get old fast.
Superman is the most popular DC yet nobody remembers that at one time he was faster than a speeding bullet, leaped over tall buildings and was stronger than a damn train (locomotive). Hulks most popular version (which never changed) is he gets stronger the more angry he gets. His intelligence isn't really cared about (by me atleast) because I know he's driven by rage
My favorite was gray hulk. He was so dark, so monstrous, and very smart! He was always coming up with such witty, insightful lines. Plus, he had a sense of humour similar to Freddy kurgers. I miss him.
Hulk is Banners surpressed anger from being abused as a child. Banner is pure reason and control, while Hulk is the antithesis of that. He is the ID and pure emotion. He is literally an angry 8 year old with limitless strength. That is the character.
Banner's noncompliance change from a intelligent man with reason, into a monster of pure emotion and rage is my preferred Hulk. So Save Hulk gets my vote.
It's a dynamic that goes all the way back to the early days of 1960's Marvel, of a character actually holding resentment and even dislike of what they have become. The Thing shared this with the Savage Hulk, and I guess that's one of the reasons I always found their classic interactions fun to read.
A smart Bruce Banner transforming into a equally intelligent Hulk doesn't do a whole lot for me, and comes across as the character serving the writer, rather than the writer serving the character. It's OK for a gimmick storyline, sure. Long term? Ehh ....
Now a smart Bruce Banner transforming into a "monster" that's child like, filled with overwhelming emotion, and is every bit the embodiment of a wild card is something that comes across as infinitely more interesting to me. The rivalry between Bruce and the Hulk should be a constant, with Bruce always having fear of the monster inside him, and being concerned about the amount of harm and destruction that the Hulk could easily dish out when provoked. To me, it really instills that Frankenstein/Mr. Hyde idea that Stan Lee had in mind when creating the character.
Too much corporation between Banner/Hulk isn't a good thing long term. Atleast not to me. That's just honestly bland.
