I really love The Incredible Hulk movie. And I have actually binge read the main line of Hulk comics back when I was in college. Starting far back from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's six books to right at the end of Immortal Hulk. So I'm a bit sad that Hulk has only had two major solo films, which leaves his extensive mythology, cast and rogues having not gotten the spotlight they deserve. So I have a deep appreciation for the 2003 and 2008 movies (as well as the animated features).

I’ve been reading a lot of silver and bronze age Hulk comics this year. The classic stuff is consistently entertaining. Even when they’re not great, they’re always a hoot. Very underrated comics.

While I don't mind the changes to Hulk's origin in the MCU, I feel the lack of the Gamma bomb and Rick Jones makes it inferior to the comics. Having the Hulk being born by a Gamma Bomb symbolizes the character as this force of nature, this powerfull being that no one can control, not even his creator Bruce Banner. As for Rick Jones, not only he gives the Hulk another friend to help him, besides Betty, but the fact Banner suffered his accident trying to save the kid. shows alot of Bruce character, how he was always this selfless guy, making his fate, to be force to live with this monster inside him, even more tragic. He became the Hulk not because he was mad scientist and reckless tested the experiment on himself, but rather because he tried to the right thing and help a innocent.

Always love your Hulk content Josh. Your enthusiasm for the jolly green giant always comes through. For me, Peter David's Hulk was the first Marvel character I got introduced outside of Spider-Man, so he will always have a special place in my superhero pantheon.

This was a fantastic video! This perfectly illustrates why I have always loved this movie from the very beginning. I am an ardent supporter of The Incredible Hulk, because, as a massive lifelong Hulk fan myself, it really is a love-letter to the character and his mythos. I also love the fact this film takes itself and its subject matter seriously. Something the MCU has continued to botch since The Avengers in 2012.

This Movie is INCREDIBLY Underrated. (Pun Intended but The Point Still Stands.😅)

Ed Norton was great And that scene where he re encounters Betty Ross (Liv Tyler is great too) is freakin well dramatic and emotive. I really miss those details from first MCU movies.

Great video! I think the Hulk as bomb dropped from a plane was done in Azzarello’s Banner mini-series published just before the Ultimates series. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if that idea comes even earlier. I almost think P3ter D@vid used it in a Hulk novel I read back in the 90s.

Awesome stuff!!! Seeing what comics you got is getting pretty fun to see as well

Great video. The "Hulk takes Betty to a cave" became a trope starting with Tales to Astonish #83. Chris Claremont started his Marvel career with such a tale in Incredible Hulk #170, one of my fave (big monster vs BIG monsters).

Laughed my head off with the editing on what the G Bomb looked like 😂 Awesome video mate

All these reasons are why the 2008 Hulk was and still is a great Hulk film.

I adore early Hulk in films, changed with Ragnarok. Love the video

I really loved this series! Can’t wait for the next one

There’s a lot to like about the 2008 film and Leterier’s attention to comic details. I like a lot of the comics he drew from. However, for all that it gets right, it also highlights Leterier’s weakness as a director: actors. He’s an action guy and while most of the set pieces shine, the character-building moments often fall flat for me. Betty and Bruce’s intimacy scene in the motel is unintentionally cringey, for example. I would love to somehow mash up the best parts of the 2003 & 2008 films

been waiting for this video - love this film.

As much as I love the videos, I'm equally excited to see what books you snag.

Great video

You sould really do a vid on the incredible hulk series one day , it's so INCREDIBLY haha* underrated and Bill Bixby is my favourite actor of all time .

I like these breakdowns comparing the comics to the films! It’s fun to see the influences. This is still the only Phase 1 MCU film I haven’t watched yet…it kind of fell off of my radar and it was hard to find for a long time! I’ll definitely get around to it one day though so I can finally truly complete all of Phase 1! ✨

A fellow chad Hulk enjoyer

Love a good Panels to Pixels Hulk video ! 😁

Hey, Don't Stop this series... this is really good please do more videos about all MCU Films

i feel like josh and i would be the only two hulk fan kids at school and we would be best buddies because of it, and also, being brazilian and remembering the filming in Rio as a kid has a whole new layer of sentimentality ((((besides the TERRIBLE use of PORTUGUESE or the poorly made references to the geography of my country ahhahaha

I subscribed once u went off topic 😅❤❤❤❤

Good video man. Are you going to do this with all the MCU movies? I kind of hope so because I've been compiling that information myself for my collection, but I want to cross reference to make sure I don't miss anything

I would say that the 1982 Incredible Hulk animated series that ran on NBC Saturday mornings also was a draw of inspiration for the 2008 Incredible Hulk film too.

I always tell people that my MCU movie is Guardians of thr Galaxy. In reality, it's The Incredible Hulk

This was very well done.

That G bomb joke was good af 🤣

Before i watch hulk 70 show i did know not that banner full name was David Bruce banner

You are the best comic channel on YT no contest.

I really think it’s time Hulk got another solo movie. The obvious comic run to influence it is World War Hulk but are there any other runs that you think would make a good film?

2008 version was awesome, Norton was perfect as Banner, Roth was perfect as Blonsky, both The Hulk and Abomination, had the right look and the story was simple but effective, with a great boss fight at the end.

The Incredible Hulk was not a "soft sequel" it was a complete reboot.

MCU Hulk’s origin is also based on the ultimate version. Ultimate Hulk was created in an attempt to remake the super soldier serum that created Captain America and gave Ultimate Nick Fury his abilities.

Josh have you read the current the incredible hulk run by phillip kennedy johnson and nic klein?

I feel like there is a great hulk movie buried deep down in there but the way it is it’s not that much of a serious take and feels like a movie that says hey all hulk is a big green strong dumb monster

Heh! "The 'splodie zone"

Rather see videos about Ang Lee's HULK but this is still cool too

I like the hair cut man.

Don't forget the Hulk cartoons

still not got the bookshelf video i was promised :( how can you do this to me josh?

Can you do a video on the comics that inspired the Spider-Man movies and the X-Men movies

The hulk in the mcu is ironically frustrating due to the licensing issues, It is a shame that the last hulk movie was nearly 16 years ago, Red hulk is supposed to appear in captain america 4, Which is... wrong to say the least

What version of "The Lonely Man" was played in this video at 5:00?

Underrated

I'm hoping to see the Red Hulk story ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊

I love all the Hulk movies, badass

Hello I have subscribed to your KZfaq channel

You know you should also go over the 2003 Hulk movie and talk about what comics inspired that movie

I hope captain america 4 makes justice to the leader.......but sadly after those reports of underperforming on test screenings i'm scared

FINALLY

So what was that song used in the beginning

I think this movie is great along with the mcu i don't care what people says about the movie.we need the leader back

I love this movie so much. I always think norton is a better banner and Hulk than Ruffalo. I get why he didn't continue but if this wasn't the mcu and came out in 03 instead of 08 I would have love to see this be the first of a trilogie

There was 1 month between "The Comics That Inspired the MCU: Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" and that was 5 months ago and not another since. What's up?

songs in the background?

08 Hulk is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I didn't really like either-HULK-film.HULK looked pretty fake in the first film,plus I don't like the use of split screens in films.The 2nd movie was much better,the HULK looked so much better also and I liked the story line a lot.The Abomination was very tough in the 2nd film and I like the HULK reveal in the factory. I may end up rewatching the 2nd film again,haven't seen it in years.

This was a great movie but Norton acts like a wet piece of paper (probably because of the influence of '03 hulk). I think that if Ruffalo would have been in that movie, he would have done much much better

He does kinda look like scar jo

The 2008 Incredible Hulk is hands down the best version of Hulk to ever hit the screen. They portrayed Hulk perfectly. I hate what the MCU did to Hulk in the following movies.

Hulk 2003 > TIH 2008

the hulk tv show will outlast the legacy of the movies

The best MCU movie

The Incredible Hulk is the best MCU film in my opinion.

It's crazy to me that thay though Bruce sounded gay so thay changed the name

The 08 hulk is the best hulk we got in the mcu so far . Then they ruined hulk … they need to redeem his character and give him his rematch with thanos 🤬

I really enjoy this movie but William Hurt was a terrible choice for Thunderbolt Ross; he gives no energy to his performance and he's so wooden.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

During the released of Incredible Hulk, it's the very weak installment in the MCU but look at the sequels and spin-off today's in the MCU... The Incredible Hulk movie was way better than any of them

This Movie CGI was scorpion king at best. It was so bad. And the soundtrack was a cheap knock off of Danny Elfmans original epic soundtrack. It posed as a sequal to 2003 hulk yet the incredible Hulk didn't grow with anger. Norton was not convincing as some one who harnessed anger and rage. His transformation into hulk also looked so goofy and disproportionate. There were just so many inaccuracies and it wasn't at all a good film as many try to make it seem.

Comment

I wish Edward Norton was still Banner/Hulk in the MCU, Mark Ruffalo just dosen't feel like Banner.

So disappointing. The solo movie was much better than the weak helpless Hulk of the last Avenger movies. We have NEVER had an interpretation of the character that resembles the comics (at least not the OG comics of the 60s and 70s). At least the movie was not only a lot better than Avengers 3 and 4, the movie is light years better than the 2003 Hulk......that was the worst Hulk interpretation ever.
