What's incredible is when these guys are talking about an "adult" hulk show, they say things about his character and the themes. They call it a drama. Now when someone says "adult version", they just mean they're going to make sure it's rated R. How sad

In today's America, the so-called left & right aren't really divided, they are different sides of the same coin - they demand absolutely no nuance and that every single issue is black/white right/wrong and only their particular side has the magical answers. Life is messy shit and we're all responsible and only all of us working together to figure out any solutions.

The only thing wrong with the She Hulk show is tthe Daredevil walk of shame episode. Bill and Lou are the Hulk.

[@FloridaGeorgia]

I never knew that Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested Lou Ferrigno for the role of the Hulk. That's pretty cool!

[@CorbCorbin]

I’ve heard he did as well, but wasn’t because Arnold was doing Conan. Arnold wanted a film career, snd he didn’t need the money, so he didn’t want a tv role, in which he wasn’t the lead, and with dialogue. Conan was in his sights, and he got the role and it went into production a few years later. Conan wasn’t in production until 1979-80, while Hulk aired in 77’.

[@MR-md2cl]

I can tell a lot of love, time, and effort went into making this video. Thank you! Listening to these wonderful, friendly, talented, and highly intelligent people talk about the show was so beautiful. It’s how I used to think of these creatives back in the day. They understood they were stewards of the IP and that no matter what you make; if you connect with your audience using universal themes and respect their intelligence, then they will enjoy your content - across all demographics. I found it so interesting how the writers and producers were women - back then in the 70’s & 80’s. It shows they were already “progressive” back then, and not how current media attempts to rewrite their incredible history in a bad ist/phobe light. Seeing Mr. Rogers and how consummate Bixby & Ferigno were as performers being filmed (as themselves) makes me long so much for the times back then (as a fellow Gen-X’er). It’s sad how the entertainment and media industries have devolved (with the rest of society). Competency, Decency, Wholesomeness, and Humbleness abound in your video of a time I long for. I feel sorry for the recent generations who have fewer and fewer good role models to look up to. I had no idea about Bill Bixby’s tragic life and how superhuman he truly was in handling all of it in a gracious and inspiring way. You can just hear the love when these people talk. Then you juxtapose it to the trash garbage being generated today and you can see how vapid, self-absorbed, and ultimately spiteful these “creators” (really destroyers) truly are. Thank you for this. It hurts and frustrates me with what I see nowadays; and this reminds me why - we had better and still deserve better.

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful comment. I’m so glad to hear the story I wanted to tell came across the way I wanted it to. Thanks again!

[@Monkofmagnesia]

I will be 62 in March 2024. Before the Hulk, people my age knew Bill Bixby not from My Favorite Martian, which originally aired when I was one. but as the dad in The Courtship od Eddy's Father, which originally aired when I was seven. The Hulk originally aired when I was 15, so, for my generation, it was subconsciously watching a protective, loving father figure constantly trying to control his anger. Bixby proved to be the best asctor to play Banner. Sometimes, it was just his facial reactions that gutted you (like when an evil Hulk destroed the cure for his condition and he is at the loss and is so crushed he begins to change).

[@theimaginist3310]

Hats off to these two women. They admitted that they didn’t always like when Bixby would challenge their writing choices, but they knew it would make them better at the craft. Nowadays, Bixby would be accused of misogyny or “trying to silence their voices”. Jessica Gao and her She-Hulk crew are actually proud of how ignorant and incompetent they are, and everyone is afraid to tell them how terrible they are at their job.

Somehow, the idea of Mister Rogers meeting the Incredible Hulk sounds like a funny story in the making. But I am glad that he was able to introduce kids to the behind-the-scenes work, and showing that the Hulk was just a man who was playing pretend. This along with his episode with Margaret "The Wicked Witch of the West" Hamilton are quite enlightening experiences for children.

[@patrickperalta59]

@DeantheLaughingMann ...... I liked seeing MR. Roger visit the Hulk set and show kids how the show was done same with the Wiched Witch from Wizard of OZ. I heared the reason she appeared on Mr. Rogers show was to show the Witch was not really Evil.........this was done because Margaret Hamilton appeared as the Wiched Witch on Sesame Street and afterwords angery letters were sent to the people who make the show that the Witched scared their children giving them nightmares.....so the episode only aired one time and never again not even in reruns all thanks to a bunch of crybaby parents protesting.........I saw the show as a child and it did not scare me... couple years ago I heared that episode was found in the vaults and is now on youtube.

[@whoami7721]

I wish I'd seen that Mr. Rogers episode back when I was a little kid. It would've helped out with my Hulk phobia. I always got so scared when Bill Bixby got the white eyes and his shirt tore open to reveal the green skin. I was aged two to six when The Incredible Hulk was on the air, and is probably the first character that I learned came from something called a comic book. My brother saw that I was scared when I was watching a Hulk episode and told me that it was just a big guy painted green. That was a revelation for me. I think my fascination with makeup and special effects stemmed from that. I wondered, how did they turn Bill Bixby into Lou Ferrigno? The answer was pretty simple. They had Lou's stuntman, Manny Perry, rip out of the too-small shirts and boots that had been precut so they would come apart easier. Back before computer imagery, the simple way was the best way. Plus, you had to hand it to the stunt performers back then, being thrown through the air using pneumatic catapults to show The Hulk's strength. Between The Dukes of Hazzard and this show, stuntmen were never out of work. A simpler, I'd say better, time for television and entertainment in general.

[@keithwiggins3131]

Bill bixby to me was the only person that could pulled it off playing David banner. Arnold playing the hulk i don't see it. Lou was the perfect choice to play the hulk.

[@SG-js2qn]

Thanks so much for this... It means a great deal to have our Gen X life experiences saved and shared in such an incredibly poignant and appreciative way.

[@tranya327]

The truth is, the Hulk is NOT an easy character to do well - even though experienced writers might think otherwise. If that weren't so, the Hulk would have had a higher 'success ratio' as the character has been brought back a number of times, with different creative teams and contexts. Even looking at the TV show (which I obsessed over as a kid) - most of the episodes were mediocre. The true standout episodes were the ones that Ken Johnson himself wrote and directed, plus a small handful of others. Out of the 82 episodes that the TV series produced, there are maybe 12-15 that are true standouts. Ken Johnson did six of them. Kenny has by far the highest 'winning formula' with the character - and he did it by abandoning the Stan Lee superhero/supervillain formula. (Maybe the one exception to where creators are urged to 'return to the character's roots' to find what made them so compelling in the first place.) In 60 years, no one has done better than the Ken Johnson episodes of the TV series. (The 'echoes' of the series that were intentionally placed into the 2008 movie, were welcome, and made the movie watchable to the extent that it was.) This suggests that to make the character wonderful again, Kenny's vision must be returned to: A Hulk that is 'grounded' in the real world, not part of the MCU; A hulk with fixed, limited power, not being pursued by a 'Thunderbolt Ross' and who is not a giant, obvious threat to National Security; A Hulk whose narrative purpose is to haunt David Banner - 'the man who was cursed.' A psychological drama which explores, "how good a person are you capable of being... even though you ARE cursed?"

[@realitydrakesrealitydpoet3727]

Thls (1977-1982) LIVE ACTION TV SERIES OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK, has ALWAYS been the GREATEST portrayal of THE HULK AND DR. BANNER when it comes to the TRUE ESSENCE AND CHARACTER of HULK/BANNER. And no other actors have EVER done a better job at portraying the character than BILL BIXBY AND LOU FERRIGNO. The TV SERIES might have lacked the HI-TECH SPECIAL EFFECTS to fully capture THE HULK'S physical prowess and capabilities, but the TV SERIES DEFINITELY captured the QUINTESSENTIAL NATURE of THE HULK/BANNER CHARACTER 100% in FULL EFFECT.

I wonderful video. I’m at awe with the story behind the scenes and on the screen of the tv show. Bill’s life was tragic but the dedication he had to his work says a lot about his character. If anything this video showed me how far Hollywood has fallen with this character, Mark Ruffallo just doesn’t cut it for me and his Hulk is nowhere near as tragic as Bill’s and that’s what spoke to the audience

[@BobbySanders-bf2fr]

Thank you so much for this

[@DuncanEvans-t7q]

This series did what everyone says is wrong. Completely ignore the comic origins and change everything about the characters except the basic premise. And that made it 1 of the most successful comic book series ever made. Anybody who talks about the Hulk doesn't think the CGI monstrosities of the 21st century movies, it's all about Bill Bixby, a muscle man painted green and that final scene of David Banner walking down a road to the solo piano

[@ZTAudio]

Ken Johnson was a genius.

[@desmien679]

This was also true with both iconic games and iconic companies in the videogames industry. Roberta Williams was one, creator of the King's Quest franchise and cofounder of Sierra Entertainment one of the biggest computer games companies in the 80s and 90s. She even recently released a game in tribute to Collosal Cave Adventure which has been swept under the rug by activists.

[@ladyrazorsharp]

That was genius, for Fred Rogers to show the difference between Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno and the characters they played. I was absolutely terrified and yet utterly fascinated at the moment when Banner became the Hulk. I think it definitely affected my later desire (and ability) to capture a highly dramatic moment in my writing.

[@mattrexer9086]

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

The way Ken Johnson went about "I don't want a comic book TV show, I want drama" may seem immature, and it kind is, as by the time the show got made there were plenty of great stories, be from Hulk or other superhero. But the difference with Johnson and someone like Gao is that he wanted to make a character that genuinely felt human, and it worked. If you haven't watched the show, just watch the pilot. It's fantastic, and blows out of water what the MCU has been doing. Gao on the other hands, and others like her, is more concerned with inserting herself and wanting to prove a point.

[@thetowerofivory]

The Incredible Hulk was my jam growing up, and it's sad to see the character's profile deteriorate as the MCU sputters onwards. One thing that has gone missing is stewardship, understanding that the social dimension includes a debt and duty to curate these characters with diligence, oversight, and workmanship. This accountability is felt by its absence in Disney IPs across the board; Mark Ruffalo's passivity is in stark contrast to his predecessors and is symptomatic of larger issues!

[@VideosandMemories-qi4mq]

I don't care who wrote it, it was the best series Marvel ever made. It's a shame Disney won't let Universal make more solo Hulk movies or series (the deal allows Hulk to appear in team ups for Disney but solo projects are Universal properties). I enjoyed She-Hulk, but The Incredible Hulk is unmatched in Marvel television...

For me, the Hulk will ALWAYS BE Bill Bixby! Every person to portray (David) Bruce Banner in the Hulk movies since the incredible Bill Bixby hasn’t even come close to capturing the magic. I remember being so excited every Friday when I had an opportunity to watch it. I looked up the information on the years it ran. I was 6 when it started, 10 when it ended, & I will always love it. Here is the info on The Incredible Hulk: The series began with two, two-hour made-for-TV movies on November 4 and 27, 1977. Regular one-hour episodes began on March 10, 1978 and ended on May 12, 1982. Edit: I am not really a Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk fan, but he’s better than Eric Bana & Edward Norton. I did watch the She-Hulk & I didn’t like it. It had so much potential & I think they ruined their opportunity to tell engaging, allegorical stories by concentrating on the woke men-hating that’s permeating our culture. Religion & politics have proven that a common enemy unites people but how much are we expected to choke on as people are pushing their agendas without giving us a satisfying, allegorical story that can teach everyone something of value?

[@BornAgainRN]

18:25. The fact that they made an episode starring Bill Bixby‘s real life wife whose character was contemplating suicide because she couldn’t stop the death of a young boy, and then only a year or so later the actual actress actually commits suicide over the death of their real life son is so tragic and a real life example of life imitating art, unfortunately. How sad! I wonder if she reflected back to that episode, and I wish it could’ve helped her.

Instead of heeding to Stan Lee’s warning that fans will only accept superhero movies if they are done right, instead the producers of She-Hulk attempted to push their woke narrative down our throats. This is why it was an utter failure with fans. People don’t go to movies to get a “message“ but instead to be entertained. But Hollywood repeatedly ignores this and other movies continue to lose hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, like Terminator: Dark Fate. Stop attempting to do things different for the sake of doing things different, instead go with what works, and more importantly with the fans will actually respond positively to.

I think The Incredible Hulk TV show is a great example of taking the spirit of the source material and creating something equally great but different without alienating or insulting its original readers/audience. What really grinds my gears these days about modern comic book movies (especially the MCU) is the complete disrespect and lack of care from the writers toward the source material they are adapting. It's almost like two sides of a coin when looking back at the people working on the Incredible Hulk and modern comic book writers. On one side you have Kenneth, who wasn't a fan of the Hulk or comic books in general but he still maintained the themes and spirit of the comic book and put it in a more grounded setting to make it work. He never disrespected the audience or fans of the comic books. Then on the other, you have someone like Taika Waititi whose lack of care and respect for what he is adapting is so massive that it begs the question of why adapt something if your care for it is on equal grounds with the piece of paper you wiped your ass with five years ago?

Talk about lazy booking! At the end of this and seeing Bill's last interview just really broke my heart.

And yes, of course, the recent She-Hulk series was garbage. But Jen Walters herself is a fantastic character. I bought the very first Savage She-Hulk #1 when it came out and followed her through the Byrne years, even when she joined the Fantastic Four in the 90s. Honestly, all the new TV show should have done was just do some stories from the Savage and Sensational runs, and they would have been fine. They didn't do that, but guess what? There's a filmmaker named Garrett Gilchrist who in 2009 put together an entire narrative film called "Shamelessly She-Hulk", and it's pretty fun. They even use two actresses to portray Jen and Shulkie which is what the original Hulk series did. If you haven't seen Garrett's channel, check it out!

She-hulk tv series.....🤣🤣🤣🤣....ffs that was trash. Like anything Marvel since like a decade. Their comics are dead and the movies too. Good thing.

The Hulk tv series was a Universal production. Disney had nothing to do with as they didnt own Marvel in 1978,

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

Right…never claimed they ruined it in 1978. If you watched the video, Disney ruined it after 2012.

[@u571scooter3]

@@mysocalledgenxlife Then why does the title of the video say Disney ruined it?

[@mysocalledgenxlife]

@@u571scooter3 because the video tells the story of how great it was in the 1970s and 80s...and then how Disney ruined it later. Did you not watch the video?

@@mysocalledgenxlife ruin what? again, they had nothing to do with the Incredable Hulk tv series.

@@u571scooter3 my friend, Disney took the character over in 2012 and proceeded to destroy what had been built with the original TV show. As the video explains, the people who created the TV show put a lot of love and care into making a drama with good characters and exploring rage and inner demons. Then, Disney took the character of the Hulk and Dr. Banner, and turned him into a joke...along with destroying She Hulk. I'm sorry you don't get the video.
