Why Does Everyone Keep Hitting Banner? | Part 1 | Compilation | The Incredible Hulk

[@michaelbay3038]

Banner is the origin of "FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT"

[@dennisfedor5620]

David was my hero because he used reasoning and kindness to solve the problems in trying to help others and not fighting back physically..Part of it as he didn't want to get angry and hurt someone.. Unfortunately, he would get taken advantage of as an easy target and they would see him as weak when in reality he was really brave .

These were the best and my favorite Hulk outs. I always love the bullies reactions and fears when they realized they're facing a 7 foot green behmoth. However David as Hulk always made sure to restrict his wrath to just tossing them around.

The beating Banner took in the episode "Long run home" was the worst: knocked on the back of his head, slammed into a bar, punched in the kidneys, turned around and double punched in the stomach and as he was gasping for air, he was thrown over the bar... all this for pointing out his pal had a broken arm.

Such a great show the late Bill Bixby was fantastic and Lou Ferrigno was great as were all the actors in the hulk series were great The answer to why they keep hitting on my face is because David went underground and you meet the most unsavory characters underground. Being a man of science wasn’t that great in hand-to-hand combat so that’s probably why I kept getting hit the episode where he learned martial arts should’ve gave him some kind of tiny edge either way rest in peace, Bill Bixby, and cheers to a fantastic show.

Supposedly he got stronger after becoming the Hulk then he would have been able to fight better. They should have had David hold his own in a fight sometimes and the bad guy would have to double team or hit him with a foreign object to get him to transform.

[@plasticweapon]

david banner is such a wimp that even his monster alter ego doesn't do more than bounce people around.

[@PeteSanctions]

I think that comes from the fact like Elaina said "It won't kill because David Banner won't kill" whereas Frye's Creature was capable of murder due to Del Frye's inherent personality

[@tranya327]

The idea that the Creature never kills people (always throws them over furniture, never directly punches them as the Hulk), is one of the intentionally-chosen "design elements" of the series. If the Creature were a real-life phenomenon, a person being provoked into a state of rage, combined with having the Hulk's strength, would have resulted in the people who confronted Banner, being killed many times. If the show's creators had gone that route, it would have done several things: 1) It would have turned Banner and his creature from a 'tragic hero' into something else, something less sympathetic. (If the Hulk had, for example, beaten 10 people to death, on 10 separate occasions, after they had instigated a fight with Banner, then a) Banner still would not have been able to prove that these killings were self-defense or accidents; b) it would have rendered the Creature (in-universe) something like a rabid dog that had to be shot as the best way to protect other innocent people (as opposed to him being a hero in a monster's body, continually being misunderstood by observers who always missed part of the story.) (We saw a bit of this in the 2003 'Hulk' feature film, in which that Hulk went after U.S. soldiers (in a tank) with sufficient force to kill them. ...It's been many years since I saw that film; I think the film is ambiguous on whether those soldiers were, in fact killed.) 2) After a certain number of people got killed, it would begin to have a different impact on us, the viewing audience: Isn't it different if your audience is rooting for a •tragic hero• who only kills in self-defense (like Logan in the X-Men films) than a person who allows himself to enter one dangerous situation after another, knowing that the likely outcome is that somebody else will get killed? (The people who beat up David Banner did deserve to get hit back, and to get badly hurt; did they deserve to die? A few, perhaps, but in most cases, no.) There are several episodes where the story •plays with• the Creature actually killing someone: - The episodes "Of guilt, models and murder" and "The psychic" posit a witness who tells us that the Creature kills someone. But, it's later revealed that someone else was the killer. - "A solitary place" gives us a scenario where the creature comes very close to actually killing an innocent person (the hulk throws a tire at a jeep, causing it to stop suddenly, and the driver's throat is injured as his neck is thrown against the steering wheel. The injury causes the driver's windpipe to be blocked. The quick action of a surgeon, who had been with Banner during the episode, saves his life.) - The episode "Dark side" has Banner experimenting with a drug which backfires: We get an 'evil' version of Banner, and an 'evil' Hulk during the first Hulk-out, in which this version of Banner's creature comes dangerously close to murder. A recurring motif of the series, is that Banner constantly dreads the potential outcome of the creature killing, or doing permanent injury to someone (which should be a concern of anyone in the real world who isn't a thug - you enter a physical conflict with someone, you don't know how it'll end. Anyone can kill anyone.) Note that this is one of the big ways that the TV series with Bill Bixby, is "Psychological Drama" rather than "Super hero action / Marvel Movie." In the former case, you'd be concerned that you could actually kill someone who didn't deserve it; in the latter case, not so much.
