Well, the Incredible Hulk comes out pretty soon here. And it got me thinkin'.
What is it about the Hulk that people find appealing? I've always loved the US Gold created masterpiece "The Incredible Hulk" for the Super NES, possibly the most underrated bad guys limbs blowing across the screen after getting punched game ever made (an over looked genre to begin with), but how do the comics and movies even intrest people?
Let's look at the comics. I've only read the early ones, right up untill he meets the Abomination for the first time. The story just never grabbed me. The dude gets angry, he becomes the Hulk. But why should I care? And why should I feel compassion for Bruce Banner? He always seemed like an **** to me. The only person he cares for is Betty, as he constantly fails to realise the one person who actually cares for him, a flat 1D character known as Rick, is always overlooked. Plus, his villans suck. Terror of the ToadMen? I mean, what is that?
The movie "The Hulk" I will just stay away from.
It's just really got me thinkin'. Why love the Hulk? What's he gonna do for you? You get in trouble, he's not even gonna help you out! Even if you're Rick Jones! So style your hair into a black little bob and have a man nicknamed Thunderbolt as your father or he ain't gonna do nothin'.
So in protest, I am going to stay away from this movie, and instead spend one more day battling Tyranus in his underground prison. And watching his minons limbs fly explode across the screen, thank you very much.
