Hulk Cartoon Revisited

I said a few posts ago that I would possibly revisit The Hulk. That's the point of this post. I've decided not to do a post on my observations on The Hulk as a character. However, I will focus on 2 aspects of my current examination of the character. Here's what I mean by that really confusing statement.

I've looked into some recent issues of the comic book. Granted, I'm jumping into the middle of the current plot. Even upon looking at several back issues, I have to say: "I'm completely lost." All of a sudden there's a red Hulk?

As you dear readers know, I've been watching the cartton that came out in 1996-1997. At first, it was really good. Now, it's not as good. I don't get the gray Hulk. Plus, the She-Hulk becomes the central character. I understand her character, but I just am increasingly disappointed by the entire show.

I think that's as far as I am going with my research. I like it better when The Hulk is a misunderstood soul. I am more intrigued by the psychological relationship between Bruce Banner and The Hulk. In essence, I like it best when the Hulk is a metaphor.

And maybe I'm just being petty, or nostalgic. Maybe it's because I'm conditioned to think this way. But, I want my Hulk to be green. Just green.

Hulk Cartoon



So, I'm a bit behind the times. This cartoon came out in 1996-1997. I've recently started watching it. Since October,I've been examining the Incredible Hulk from a personal and theological perspective. I started with the 2008 movie. And this cartoon, I think, is as far as that's gonna go. I'm not going to get obsessed. But, I do find the Hulk to be a fascinating character.

As for the cartoon, I really liked it at first. But now, I'm just confused by it. if anyone can shed any light, please do so.

Enjoy the clip! Maybe I'll do a post on my observations at some point.
