Unoffical Hulk Thread

[Gullom]

I think it's about time we started a Hulk Thread, and for my contribution I was on yahoo looking for hulk related anything and I stumbled upon some realplayer media clips, check it out.

I think the media clips should be deticated to Bill Bixby God bless his soul.

Rest in peace Bill Bixby.

This is for the TV series webpage

Inside the TV series webpage is the realplayer clips I just referenced to at the following link:

I think the video clips are awsome

I have to be honest, I appreciated the series, but as an insane comic book fan some many things bugged me. This is not a comicbook site so I won't lay the comic geeks angst on you but there are certain things I thought they did not even try to do.

For example, it was like Queen of the Damned. Now like a horror fan I am really into the Vampire Chronicles, I eat Interview With a Vampire up, so I had such expectations for the film. I understood some things would not be done (like the implied homosexuality throughout every book, ect - or is it etc, I keeep forgetting.) But with Queen they left out and element so important it would have really changed the movie from being the turkey that it was (I'm sorry Alliyah, it was a TURKEY). The Queen's motivation. That little thing was such a big difference.

That was what the Hulk series was like to me. I understood it was TV, I understood there were thing that can and cannot be done. But the major element that makes HULK, well. . .HULK, is a sense of power, much the same way Hyde expressed a sense of power when he emerged. Hulk in the series was a pussy. Almost everything could hurt him. He through people in Six Million Dollar Man slow motion, growled, then ran away. No sense of anger, no sense of power. A crucial element in any version the Hulk.

And before you say I am wrong I would like to point to an EXCELLENT television movie, if you can find pick it up and watch it. Its called "Frankenstien, the True Story." It was a mini-series that came out I believe in the 70's. I use this to back up my statement because it was a "Monster" that did not have the Boris Karloff build or the Hammer Film look, but when it struck back and made demands, as it became completely self aware, it conveyed power, anger, threat. The actor who play "the monster" was no where near as big as Lou, but still came off with what you expect any version of Frankenstien's monster to be like, be he Hermon Munster look alike, or the teen with the chopped up face.

I think that is why the Hulk remarks in B status and will only be remebered because it was there. It really did not do anything remarkable after just being on the air. And I contend all it needed was the same element that work in its own comic and in similar literiture and better made television projects.
