@@mikerotonda6264 Because the producer, Ken Johnson wanted the show to viewed as an adult drama, not a comic book. So, he wanted to change what he felt was a staple of comic books, and Stan Lee's comics in particular, that major characters frequently had alliterative names. He named the character “ David”, after his son.

[@jasonamrhein9593]

The writers of this show were clever when it came to scenarios to put Banner/Hulk into. Banner couldn't think his way into pulling back on the locked controls, and Hulk couldn't smash his way into a safe landing.

[@MagicAl5F4781]

The writers were also frugal by getting him into scenarios that saved money by using Universal Pictures stock footage, in this case from Airport 1975.

[@John-ct9zs]

@@MagicAl5F4781 Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I hadn't really seen the Airport movies from the 70s, I was aware of them but hadn't seen them. So to me this scene was wholly original.

[@dan2007kohn]

He cant control it. It was a plot contrivance.

[@CatzlovichCatnipAndCabbages]

@@dan2007kohn He wasn't "controlling" the transformation he was simply fighting it very hard. David was still transforming just more slowly than he usually does because he knew that if he didn't fight hard to retain some level of conscious control over his mental faculties that the creature by itself would not be able to land the plane.

[@3912James]

David had no choice. There were people on that plane whose lives were just as much in danger as David's. Compare that from earlier in the episode when the evil airline pilot driver locked David in that cargo box and tried to eject David off the plane prompting David to change into the Hulk in mere seconds.

[@3912James]

@@CatzlovichCatnipAndCabbages Thanks to David's efforts....the Hulk succeeded in landing the plane. Too bad David was mentally unavailable when it came time for the Hulk to stop the plane by hitting the brakes....one of the rare times the Hulk's strength was useless.

[@Artisan1979]

It's too bad that the video stopped before it showed him escaping the plane. The irony in that these people owe him their lives and all they see is a monster. But I liked how the captains instructions became like a subliminal command as David slipped into the transformation allowing the Hulk to make that one single decision

[@3912James]

In most cases...once fully transformed the Hulk acts out on David's last goal and objective prior to the transformation.

[@Artisan1979]

@@3912James David once said "As near as I can tell, the Creature has never wantonly destroyed anything or seriously hurt anybody. Apparently he is motivated to deal with whatever frustrates or angers ME." So what you're saying falls along those lines. I agree.

@@Artisan1979 Unlike the modern versions of the Hulk where he causes no end of destruction and harm and goes on mindless rampages that forced the Avengers to banish him from Earth.

[@Erekose2023]

What i liked about this version of The Hulk, especially considering when it was made, was that they did not treat the Hulk as a get of trouble character, but as his own developing identity. Even McGee was not the one dimensional antagonist that he seemed to be at the start, but started to empathise with the Hulk, and even looking him the eye on a couple of occasions. Yes, some of the scripts were a bit naff, as were the effects, BUT again, making allowance for the era... it was good... DAMN good... and under-rated

[@10Peter25]

I do remember an episode where Jack's obsession with the Hulk cost him his job and his marriage. I think this helped Jack and David/Hulk cut through their antagonism toward each other and actually start to empathize with each other. Each grew to learn how much their obsessions destroyed their previously ordinary lives.

[@Erekose2023]

@@10Peter25 Been a long time since I saw them, so details may be wrong, but I seem to recall,.... ... an episode where another reporter was tryiong to get an expose on The Hulk, and had tricked Banner into a meeting. Jack found out about it, and sabotaged it, because bvy tat point he had moved on from trying to get the big Pulitzer style story to rekindle his career, but respected Banner , though he did not know him to be that person_ need for privacy. I also recall a number of later episodes where the Hulk toojk down the bad guys, and turning found himself face to face with Jack... did his Growl effect and snarl, but then just turned and ran off. I think the big dissapointment for me though, was the story which had Dr. Blake/Thor... too much deviance from the p[ersona of Thors character for my liking. BUT on a different topic.. I would have loved a scene, even if short, which established that the three were in fact the same Universe, and had Nicholas Hammand, Peter HUtton and Lou feringo as a Hulk a bit advanced from the one who landed the airplane, not quite Prof Hulk style, still brutish but able to talk, talking together, considering wether to get invo0lved, but Peter Huttonb saying. something like..
