The Incredible Hulk

I still remember the episode "Enter:She-Hulk" where they introduced us the cousin of our troubled gamma-genes doctor. I must say the 1996 series treated her better as the witty and extravertido character she was rather than "Ms. Broken Clothes". Yet that episode was powerful stuff. Jen could change at will, maintain her 'human' mind and regenerate her clothes too! While in the current cartoon Dr. Banner changed only one or two times into Hulk, Jen changed a total of FOUR times and do a lot of damage to their enemies, crippling whole bases of HYDRA in a matter of minutes! (I suggest strongly to see the fourth transformation where she reduces her own car to scraps in order to save her life and Bruce's). And better yet, Bruce looked at her as a way to cure him form being the Hulk. As well as I remember the Hulk gained a doses of intelligence in the chapter...hmmm, too bad she never got her own toon.

The 1982 Incredible Hulk cartoon series was apart of the saturday morning "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends\Incredible Hulk hour" on NBC. The Hulk however, was more faithful to the comics than Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. The animation quality was great and on par with the other Marvel cartoons of that era (Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Transformers, GI.Joe, Defenders of the Earth, Inhumanoids, Visionaries, Gem, etc.). The art style and animation quality hold up well even today; and in my opinion is slightly better than the 1996 Hulk cartoon.

The story line was faithful to what was arguably the best years of the Hulk comics; the years before the Hulk had Banner's mind. The Hulk is supposed to be a savage monster and that's what makes the 1982 series more enjoyable than the 1996 cartoon. If you can find this cartoon, and your a fan of the Hulk, this one is worth checking out. It's the best Incredible Hulk cartoon so far.

I liked the live action show and sort of liked the 1966 and 1996 cartoon . But this one was bad all over. Okay maybe this one was more faithful to the comic then the live action show was. But when the hulk turned back into Bruce Banner, his shirt magically appeared back on him, which was bad. In the live action when Banner's shirt got ripped off, it stayed off. Good animation, but silly story lines, and camp dialogu that would make 60's Batman laugh. I rather watch the live action show.

The Incredible Hulk (1982) was an NBC children's saturday morning cartoon. The show followed the comic book story for the most part. But the real problem that has been bothering me for the longest time was that whenever Dr. Bruce Banner turned into the Incredible Hulk how in the hell did his clothes and shoes re-materialize? I mean you see the poor guy morph into the green brute but whenever he transformed back into the good doctor, his pants are nice and creased and the shoes are nice and shinny. Besides the faults and little errors between the comic book and the cartoon story lines it's an okay show. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it however.

No wonder he'd incredible. Believe it or not that has bothered me for the longest time. I guess it's one of the mysteries of life. Like why does every football game you play, the computer is down by 56 points and there's 30 seconds left in the game. When they finally score a touchdown not only do they go for the two point conversion but they try the onside kick-off?

Average stuff.

I noticed that someone else who reviewed this said that this was the best Hulk cartoon. I totally agree with that comment.

The 1966 cartoon was cheezy and poor. The 1996 cartoon was average. This was the best show. I shall tell you the reasons why.

Firstly, I liked Dr. Banner in this cartoon. He was not a wimp like the comic book Dr. Banner. He was quite tough and not afraid of much.

The animation was also good. The Hulk looked awesome in this.

Betty Ross was in it too and she was also a lot more independent than her comic book counterpart. She was cute too.

The best thing about this series was the stories. Throughout the series we saw situations such as the Hulk getting shrunk, Banner's secret exposed, the Hulk battle Quasimodo, the Hulk meet the She-Hulk and many other fantastic adventures too.

If you like the Hulk then forget the other two cartoons and watch this one instead. It was very good-even if the Hulk did change back to Banner with clothes intact.
