Ever sincer reading Immortal Hulk, I can't help but have this sad visual in my head of David finally being free at the end of Death of the Incredible Hulk, only to find himself back in the living world after stepping through a green door.

[@misterprickly]

Personally, I would use "Death of" as the jumping off point for an "Immortal HULK" TV series; where there is no Banner... Only HULK.

[@substandardeagle4738]

@@misterprickly How would that work though? '77 Hulk is a manifestation of Banner's most base and primal instincts rather than a separate personality, so I don't see how Hulk would carry the show on his own. Plus, in this hypothetical scenario I feel like you'd lose a lot by not including Bixby's Banner.

[@misterprickly]

@@substandardeagle4738 it would cause the character to have to evolve. Like the time Grey HULK became "Joe Fixit". In the months when Joe was in charge, he had a decent job, a private life and a girlfriend; Marlo Chandler. An immortal HULK show, focus on the lead dealing with a world that does not want him. Like MCU HULK, he would have to step up to the challenge or drown in his own ignorance.

[@substandardeagle4738]

@@misterprickly Okay I think I get where you're getting at now; combining the Immortal Hulk story with Joe Fixit essentially? Would it also introduce the Grey Hulk or would it still be green Ferrigno Hulk? If it's the former, would you still have Ferrigno in the role or have someone else play Grey Hulk? Would Grey turn into Green Hulk when he loses his temper (like the animated series)? Sorry for all the questions but you've made me curious now.

[@misterprickly]

@substandardeagle4738 I thought about that. I didn't want to have grey hulk in it but I *did* want Lou in it. The idea being, because Banner is dead the hulk is left visually depleted and yet is still the dangerous monstrosity the world knows. Thanks to advances in makeup and CG, we can add some serious body horror elements as well as practical effects that would bring that side of the comics to life.

[@jameskingman1227]

Fun fact, Kingpins actor also voiced Thor in the Hulk 90’s cartoon series.

[@cinemaarts8795]

He would've been a good Odin in the MCU

[@andyrandall9289]

He was also in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Indiana Jones movies.

[@jameskingman1227]

@ yeah, those are the roles he’s well known for.

[@cinemaarts8795]

That actor who played the psychotic thug on the subway in Trial of the Incredible Hulk could've made a good Bullseye if Daredevil got his own show.

[@Dhampir101980]

David blamed Blake because he if didn’t bring Thor out, then the first transformation wouldn’t have happened at all. Blake disrupted his experiment, not Thor ( Blake clearly saw that he was in the middle of something when he entered the room. Why not just wait until David was finished? Maggie serves the same purpose as Carolyn did in Married ( an emotional anchor/ possibility for happiness) but without any individual depth. Part of the reason that David continues to see the Hulk as a dangerous monster is because he can’t remember what the Hulk does, and since This Hulk can’t talk, the two of them are incapable of having a conversation and forming an understanding while working together. So everything for him regarding the Hulk comes down to guess work and simply hoping for the best. That kind of setup isn’t reassuring at all. If only Carolyn had lived… This is one area where the comics are superior and more layered. It’s strange that David mentioned that he didn’t have family to the doctor in death. I wonder what happened to his father and sister from the episode “ homecoming “. Did they die or did David simply not want to risk getting them involved in his plight again ?

[@jeremyknight9980]

Seeing David understand the Hulk and leading to having some form of control would've been interesting, it always kinda annoyed me that he kept insisting that Hulk was this monster no matter what after helping so many people.

[@Dhampir101980]

Because on the tv show, David always treated the hulk as if he was a disease. So following that narrative through line, it makes sense that he wouldn’t see the value in the power he has. As David said in episode “ Rainbows end”, “No! It possesses ME. And I can’t control it…. Yes, the Hulk saves other people’s lives, but he ruined David’s life.

[@jeremyknight9980]

@@Dhampir101980 I can see that, at times I forget that the show is in a world where it isn't crawling with other Marvel characters.

[@jameskingman1227]

@@jeremyknight9980 it’s also a little more grounded, while the Hulk might save a life he causes tons of property damage and there’s always a risk he can accidentally hurt someone. It’s more amazing the Hulk actually solves problems. I’ve always attributed the Hulk to being hyper focused on what angered David and after he’s solved the problem he kind of just chills out.

[@Dhampir101980]

The Thor and Daredevil spinoffs didn’t happen because the network took so long deciding whether or not to order them to series that Actors had already moved on to other projects, and NBC didn’t want to pay more to buy them out of their contracts

[@RedEyesBlackKnight]

Fisks voice sounded so familiar until it hit me,"ITS GIMLI!!!"

[@marshalhammel5065]

Solid work

[@jameskingman1227]

I think the video obsession of Fisk is obvious. DD is Blind and Fisk can see. It’s not deep, but maybe what he sees blinds him to reality. Like I say a lot of this is t deep, but I don’t think it’s without merit. It just needed some more thought in the script.

[@Dhampir101980]

@@jameskingman1227 both characters have “ eyes “ all around the city and have their own unique way of “ viewing “ things which makes them powerful individuals

[@Kajehart]

I really liked Return, funny with Thor and McGee. The second two were dark and depressing.

[@nickrogers4989]

Thank you Vaulten for the posting here on you tube that means alot to all the "Old school" fans of tThe Incredible Hulk series and The Incredible Hulk TV movies as well!..Yes you did alot researching and info too! You are all heart! Yes indeed Late great icon legend Bill Bixby aka David Banner is true humble geniune caring human being that cannot be replaced at all! He gotten the cure that he's been trying to get rid for a very long time and deserves peace in his own right! All love heart soul always and forever !❤❤❤

[@bZman]

I had trial of the incredible hulk on VHS as a kid and watched it so many times. Love that movie

[@henrygarcia39]

Can’t watch the whole vid because I haven’t seen Death yet, but Eric Allen Kramer is VERY underrated as Thor. Ignoring the changes they made to the character when writing him, he not only looks but perfectly plays comic Thor.

[@Vicki_Benji]

I liked the movies, but I really wanted David to find his cure. I hated that they killed him in "Death." RIP Bill Bixby.

[@AmaanHasanDilawar]

I have it and I enjoy everytime watching it.. Budget is not everything , always remember the suit was a choice not because of budget , the studios always have enough.

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

The guy who played Thor was in America Wedding as the big gay guy that Stifler had a dance duel

[@patrickperalta59]

when Stan Lee Explained that Bill Bixby wouldn't let him jump out of the jury box. that is what two feet off the ground as Stan pointed out he could have just steped out.......man I would be disappointed and a bit angery as well...........I wonder if the rest of the people in the jury Box...were stunt people if not then they were not being fair to Stan Lee.

[@LlorDrei]

I personally consider Prometheus: Part 2 the one true Marvel Comics Hulk episode of the whole series, the first two movies with Thor and Daredevil notwithstanding.

[@dodgyyoutuber9560]

Yet more hulk content. You never let me down. If you feel like you’re running out of ideas, I’d like to know what you think of the comics and the different iterations of the characters

[@DuncanEvans-t7q]

Out of the trilogy, I personally like Returns. It's almost the series, but a version that people think they know instead of the real thing. And also something that can be watched on a boring day for fun. My problem with Trial is a bit basic, no Hulk at the end. With Death: I've never been that impressed, but in recent years I've become more annoyed (I should say angry, but we all know why we shouldn't get angry) about McGee not being there at the end. A true ending would have been something along the lines of The Fugitive series that inspired the series. The hunted and the hunter finally coming face to face. Possibly McGee finally realises somehow that he was responsible for the accident in the pilot episode and tries to help Banner finally "find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him"

[@JurassicRod]

I never liked the TV series much due to how lame the villains always were. But I loved seeing Hulk fight and team up with Thor, Daredevil and Kingpin. Though it's odd how in the final battel of Trial Banner doesn't Hulk out and thus isn't part of the final battle of the film. As a kid in my head I imagined it was Black Widow in Death. I don't know why they didn't use Black Widow.

[@leonfontius5300]

Can you do a video the old iron man live action tv show I'm just curious what you think about it.

[@JurassicRod]

What Iron Man live action series?

[@leonfontius5300]

@JurassicRod Sorry 😞 the Internet fooled me into believing there was an original live action Iron Man show. I just learned it's not real. It's just a fanmade video it just a show called Exo-man.

[@RobertGoldman-o2p]

The only Hulk movie I enjoyed was the one that introduced Daredevil. They changed the origin of Thor and it was too campy. And Death of the,Hulk didnt even have Jack Magee.

[@nicholaswoodall3840]

the tv movies would of been better if they played the same music when david banner started turning into the hulk but i liked the tv movies

[@Sjono]

Implying the original MCU isn’t the original MCU?

[@Wow1w]

Well, it did predate them by around 20 years..

[@patrickperalta59]

a shame Kennith Johnson had no part in doing the TV movies....not sure why he turned them down..unless he was 1: no interested or 2: busy with other projects. the 3 movies would have better if he had directed them.

[@theashwoodfaerie2]

With his known hatred of comic books I'm not surprised that he didn't have anything to do with them.

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Spoiler Alert (for the death of the incredible hulk)... He dies.
