Hulk is the Marvel superhero franchise centered on Bruce Banner, including the television and film versions Randy Charles Johnson discusses. Randy describes himself as a longtime fan and uses the character to compare different adaptations and memories of watching the show.
Television And Comics
Randy says he first watched The Incredible Hulk as a TV show and did not realize at first that it came from a comic book. He then compares comic and screen versions, saying the comic Hulk was originally gray, that the TV version changed details such as the name Bruce Banner becoming David Banner, and that the show handled his origin differently from the comic.
Personal Memories
Randy remembers watching the Hulk on a faulty color television that made the character look blue. He says he would rather have seen the Hulk in black and white than blue, because the set's color was wrong.
He also says Lou Ferrigno is his favorite Hulk of all time and that the 2008 Incredible Hulk movie was better than the 2003 film. In the same discussion, he mentions getting a Power Records record that showed the Hulk and helped him recognize the character as a superhero.
