All TV shows beat all comics in popularity. I'm talking about relative popularity. The Hulk TV was not a huge hit as it has been described. Obviously more people watched it than read any comic book. But relative to other TV shows, it was not as big a hit as the Hulk comic was relative to other comic books.
So the live action Spider-man was more popular than the comics? Didnt know that. Probably because its not true. It was cancelled after 13 episodes, not 82, like Hulk.
The Incredible Hulk as still popular, so much that directors and executives still appeals to it for the new movies and well, who cares what it was when compared to other shows when we are talking about Hulk alone. But the fact that everybody remembers it speaks on its own.
Ferrigno was speaking about it in a very passionate way...
Oh. So it must be true of course.
I don't think it's something he made up in his head and then got upset about. Does he strike you as being that insane?
What you think and what could or could not strike me as are not evidence of any kind.
I could go and say Ferrigno was eager to get interviews to boost his early career so he could go and tell any story to get attention of the media. See? Groundless theories can be thrown both sides.
I hope you don't believe Johnson would be forthcoming about the decision being made because the name "Bruce" sounded too "gayish". There is no way he could admit that in public.
That or he is telling the truth and you are unable to accept it as it doesnt feed your hatred for the show.
But I brought you the truth from first source.
So you think it would not be ridiculous to have a red Hulk? I'm curious about that.
Oh, I do, and I know for a fact the TV series didnt have one, and I know for a fact that the comics have had one.
How about one of these for Batman? They appeared in his book.
So you see that not everything thats in the comic books work on screen? Thats why the TV show was successful in areas where the comics have been a mess.
Every TV show is seen by more people than read comic books. More people watched the Batman TV show than read the comic too....would you want a Batman movie to use your logic there? Thank god the Spider-Man movies didn't follow the example of that horrible TV show (made by the same people who made the Hulk TV show)
My logic is not based on the TV shows popularity but the TV shows good choices, which has been widely celebrated by Stan The Man himself. Opposite to the Spider-man show, which was widely despised by Stan Lee.
Btw, I didnt know the people who created the Hulk TV show (Kenneth Johnson, Nicholas Corea) also created the Spider-man TV show?
Ah yes, its because its not true.
Looks like youre willing to make a case against the Bruce name.
Well, since Kenneth Johnson didnt you feel like you have? Please, dont.
Oh I know about how the TV show managed to distort the Hulk's image in popular culture, but that version still did not resonate with the public enough to become a hit TV show. Similarly, the movie versions...taking cues from the TV version...did not become big hits either. (relatively speaking...making over $100 million domestic is a pretty big hit in other genres)
So that's why I scoff at any notion that the public is not interested in the Hulk character...he hasn't been put onscreen yet to find out. I think the public wants to like him...witness the huge opening weekend of Ang Lee's Hulk....and the fact that the Hulk is the character most people seem interested in for the Avengers trailers. If anyone ever actually makes the Hulk into an interesting character, it could do very well at the box office.
Both movies barely had cues to the TV show but were mostly comics.
If for random theories I could go and state the recent movies havent been a success because they dont have enough Hulk TV show in them. See what can be done there?
