This formula was so "successful" that the TV show never broke into the top 25 in the ratings. Naturally Hollywood copied that formula instead of trying something different....so two Hulk movies that also failed to generate anything special at the box office resulted.
So by all means...let's keep doing that!
So, the #26 show in the ratings (look it up) is to blame for the two movies?
It has nothing to do with Ang Lee, moss, multiple-choice Hulk height, Absorbing Dad, and a whole lot of nothing happening, right?
The single flaw of both movies is that they were basing it on the aspect of the TV show that had the Hulk not speak?
Ang Lee's Hulk didn't pull any aspect of the TV show...so stop blaming the TV show for the cinematic abortion that was Ang Lee's Hulk. He even misquoted the *one* verbal homage to the show.
And I think TIH suffered from 1) trying a reboot too soon--the wound from 2003 was still fresh. People were saying, "I got burnt by that once, not again," and 2) instead of trying to make the best Hulk movie they could, they tried to make a movie that WASN'T Ang Lee's Hulk in every way. They succeeded in the latter.
Agreed, the damn TV show is the problem, to many people, especially those who never read Hulk comics, think that is how the Hulk should be.
The TV show is the problem?
The show ended 28 years ago! That's older than a good portion of the audience!
Ang Lee's Hulk did more damage to the franchise than Lou Ferrigno ever did.
