I had a Step-Father who was nice to me. But one time he tried to hit me because I wasn't listening to my Mother . That was a big mistake on his part as I hit him back and kept Swinging . I mean there was no way I was going down without a fight .

I'm so sorry man, I really hope you are in a better place now. As a young adult with autism who grew up with an abusive father I relate pretty closely to your wish.

You poor thing

Oh man :-(

God, I'm so sorry you had to go through that, *JM Jedi.* Thank goodness now child abuse is no longer hidden.

I always thought the hulk was letting him release his pain and anger

It was kind of uncanny. The Hulk, even in his angry, raging transformed state, seemed to instinctively know what to do and how to handle each situation for the best positive outcome.

@@dr.detroit1514 I think because part of David banner is still in the back of the hulks mind

@@dr.detroit1514 it was semi-discussed/implied in an episode, where there was another ‘hulk’ who was an old guy, that the hulk-state behavior is dependant on the personality of the ‘host’, in this case david banner is a gentleman who wouldn’t hurt a fly, thus his hulk would never attempt to kill. In the other episode I mentioned, the old guy hulk actually did kill someone, as the old guy was a sort of megalomaniac, so yeah

Well he couldn't punch him or else he'd be dead LOL. The Hulk doesn't ever kill people because David would never kill people so he holds back his full force of strength on much weaker humans. Though watching this as a kid I wanted Hulk to smash his body into puddy LOL.

I think Marks father probably also had repressed memories about it until this point and they manifested into what he did to mark, without him having full memories of his childhood but the hulk attacking him unleashed it. Similar to the hulks orgin In the comics.

my dad abused me and i never laid a hand on my daughter.

@@orlandomerced4577 That too. Just think about it for a moment.

Ikr

@@orlandomerced4577 I am a survivor of abuse. My mother was very abusive to me, sadly she didn't see the error of her ways and continued to do bad things. I'm now living with my Uncle and having a good life, I've gotten therapy to help me heal and move on. I have forgiven my mother for what she did, that doesn't mean I have forgotten the bad things she did to me... but I'm letting go of my hate and anger and moving forward in life without her. I don't want to be the type of person who has hate in their heart. I want to be the type of person who forgives but doesn't forget. Mark was a really pure kid and despite that his father doesn't deserve it, he forgives because he understands that his dad went through the same thing as a kid. I always feared I would become like my mother (who was also abused as a kid), but fortunately I had help and decided that the cycle was gonna end with me. Some people though, can't get the help that they need because it costs money for therapy or they don't always have somebody to rely on. That doesn't mean I condone their behavior, but I understand why they are the way they are. I'm just saying people need to open their eyes a little and understand that some people aren't evil, they're just very very broken. I've tried to help my mother but sadly she doesn't want help and she is beyond help. However I know there are some people out there who want to become better and I pray that they can get the help they need like I did and become a better person. God-bless you mate and I hope you are doing well.

RAAAAAAAAAARGH- The actual Hulk

I think he probably had repressed memories and at this point they came back to him

@@t_man7259 exactly. I think in that moment as he was no longer feeling powerful against the hulk, it made him feel helpless, which caused him to suffer ptsd by getting those memories when he was helpless against his own dad back when he was a kid.

Bruce was saying the person was sick..the man was abused by his father

@@godscallingtothestreets7617 Yeah, usually criminals come from a bad background. Shitty parents, abuse, neglect. It's sad but it does not excuse them HURTING innocent people. Especially innocent CHILDREN. I agree that the father is sick and needs help. But he needs to get that therapy while he is in jail. AWAY from the wife and child he was abusing. If you think otherwise YOU probably also need help. That is not a joke or insult. I am serious. If you think an adult that is assaulting children just needs help and not jailtime you probably have a warped viewpoint shaped by bad things that happened in your life.

I think the point he was trying to make was that the kid need to keep in mind that his father's behavior had a root cause in mental illness or emotional distress and therefore could be addressed with proper therapy and professional help. As in "don't hate your dad, kid, pity him. And pray for him."

I related to the fathers pain, I’ve been beaten daily with a belt and it was hell... I was only nine years old at the time, every night I cried myself to sleep and every day I always feared that my parents would beat me if I did something wrong even in the slightest. I’m not saying the father’s actions were justified, it was definitely not OK for what he did to his son. However unlike a lot of people in these comments sections just straight up wishing that he was killed by the hulk... I hope he gets the help and care he needs to help move on from the trauma of the past. It’s really sad that a lot of the abusers of this world are victims of abuse themselves... I should know because my mom was beaten and abused by her stepfather as a girl. However she didn’t seek proper help or probably couldn’t afford it since my family wasn’t the wealthiest at the time and ended up projecting it onto me. As a survivor of abuse I am trying to seek help from my family members and the therapists I visit so I can make sure that I won’t end up projecting my pain and suffering as a child onto my own children.

i bet you are lying and you beat up your daughter all the time

It's similar to how Harvey Dent got his rage from his father as Two-Face

And all that anger and emotion fuelled into his imaginary friend the hulk

When they produced this series, the idea that Bruce Banner was an abused child and that this aspect of his childhood influenced the formation of the Hulk hadn't been written in the Incredible Hulk comic. That took place roughly 4-5 years later during the run of the comic that was written by Bill Mantlo, one of the best Marvel writers of the 1980s, someone who's still living but is largely forgotten in fan circles because he hasn't written in decades. He can't write anymore -- he was victim of a hit-and-run in 1992 and he's been institutionalized since then because of the brain damage that was done to him. The psychological trauma of the child abuse was introduced during a time when Bruce Banner was in control of his transformation and turned into an intelligent Hulk for roughly 2-3 years. That control didn't last for long and by the end of the original Secret Wars limited series (1985) the Hulk was back to being a child-like, rage-filled, and very out of control being at times. The problem with the Hulk comic is that it's very hard to do anything new with the character so they go back and forth in characterization of the Hulk as smart or child-like. They've mostly phased out the "child-like" aspect so the Hulk is generally smarter and refined OR savage/ruthless and smart. That course changing in personality has been going on since the original run in the 1960s; the original Hulk comic only lasted SIX issues because it was very basic and they hadn't developed the meat of the character. With the exception of General Ross, most of the Hulk's villains weren't developed until the later run of the Hulk character in the Tales to Astonish comic book of the 1960s. This TV series didn't even have any of the Hulk's villains for budgetary reasons and because the executive producer who was also the main writing head/editor on the series wanted to do something different and be less "comic book-ey." For instance, the reason they changed the lead character's name to "David Banner" was because he HATED consonance, the repetition of consonant sounds in character names like "Peter Parker" and "Clark Kent." He thought that practice was annoying, silly, and a distraction from telling deeper stories. He still kept the name "Bruce" by the way but it was Banner's middle name. Ironically, this was also true in the comics since his full name is "Robert BRUCE Banner" but everybody always called him by his middle name! This was a retcon to resolve a writing error where an exhausted Stan Lee accidently scripted the character with the name "BOB Banner" instead of "Bruce Banner" in an issue of the Hulk comic.

I never read the comic book but I know in the TV series he was David Banner and in the comic he was Bruce Banner. Also, how he got this way was he was a brilliant scientist and physician. While doing a scientific experiment on himself, he screwed up and received an overdose of gamma radiation. After that, every time he got angry he became the Hulk.

@@starwarsrebel2006 The comic origin was different. In the animated shows of the 1960s and 1980s, the origin was faithfully adapted. Bruce Banner was physicist and nuclear weapons expert. Forget the BS he was trying to discover anything to help humanity. He was trying to develop a bomb! The byproduct of that bomb was gamma radiation and that's what ruined his life. Where Rick Jones comes into this is that he was screwing around and on a dare from one of his friends he drove ONTO THE WEAPONS TESTING GROUND. He wasn't aware they were testing a bomb that day. Banner saw Jones and tried to stop the test. Details on that "delay" vary. In the original comic, Banner's assistant was told to delay the test but he never carried out the order! That assistant was a Soviet spy who wanted to steal Banner's secrets so he let the test go on in an attempt to kill Bruce Banner. Anyhow, Bruce got Rick out of the car and pushed him into a protective trench where he was safe from the gamma bomb blast but Banner was too late to shield himself and that's when he got exposed to the gamma rays. I always preferred the original Hulk origin to what they've done after the 1980s in most animation and live-action projects. It's generally better to go with what originally worked in the comics. I appreciate what Johnson did for the TV series so I'm not as hung up on that change. I did not care for the changes in the MCU Hulk origin story. THAT'S arrogance. They had the budget to adapt the Hulk FAITHFULLY but changed it because Hollywood wanted to "improve it." I find most of the changes Hollywood makes are dumb and not justified at least 85% of the time. They don't even try to justify themselves anymore. Johnson DID explain his changes so I'm more okay with him than Ang Lee and the other guys....

@@mattygunn3852 nah

@@johnulmer1622 Lou graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School in NYC, look it up. His disability (hearing) was his only liability.

@@paulmckinney6163 Cool story. I didn't say he was an invalid.

Yup

Ikr

They can’t until they get rights from universal and I liked the Spider-Man show even with jazz music

@@michaelleslie6992 Classic.

Add the series on disney plus

As limited as the technology was in that era, it was a good show. I was 10-12 I think. But I think Bill Bixby’s portrayal of compassion is what actually made this show iconic.

@@neneshubby LOL can you imagine a transgender female Hulk? WTF! oh this world is *ucked up.

I agree

Same, until I saw jack’s backstory, I always wanted him to get rekt

Jack should have taken out what he was feeling on his father when he got bigger. Thats what i said i would do to my father when i got bigger

I know right just because his father hit him doesn't give him the right to abuse his family,he should have confronted his father for what he did to him as a child,he should yell and scream at him for the rough childhood he gave him.

@@zt1053 that's exactly what he should have done,punish the right person not his family.

A little TOO much restraint; I was legitimately hoping for the dad to incur at least 1 broken bone from this encounter.

Ferrigno's Hulk usually only uses intimidation to get his point across.

@@robwalsh9843 I have to admit it, watching modern hulk go full Loki at the end of Avengers on this guy would have been immensely satisfying, though.

It was the 70's. Out and out violence in prime time TV wasn't the thing...

If more cops were like the hulk haha
