Don't make Hulk angry, you won't like it when he's angry! Also because his anger comes from a point of deep unresolved trauma. Patreon: / imranbulks Discord Server: / discord
I'm somebody whose been wrestling with my masculinity a lot, having originally a feminine background as i used to live in a female household as a little boy, my father who rasied me after my mum a ten years old passed away who turned abusive creating half of my tramua, I've dealt with a lot of crap, and still am. I have strongly connected to Hulk as my favourite fictional character especially with Ang Lee's film so in short thank you for this video it means a lot.
I think the hulk represents "toxic masculinity", other toxic traits, past trauma and anger issues. It is Bruce Banner trying to control it and use it for good and control and development that is masculine AF. Just like another hero named Bruce.
I guess you cannot tell a child, " Do as I say and not what I do". A father is the masculine role model for his children. He has to be the man he hopes his daughter will marry someday.
I never liked the idea of bruce banner hated him because of the science expirement stuff. I prefer that in the comics he hates him because he is so smart from an early age and thats why he consideres him an abomination. i feel that makes bruce banner father more hateable.he didnt hate his son because of some expirement but because he couldnt belive his son might be smarter than him
“Hulk” and the altars are the creations of a lonely, sad child who grew into a cynical, repressed adult. Hulk is the hurt inner child whose rage is legendary but his capacity for good is limitless, a small insight into who Bruce could’ve been if he grew up in a loving home. Joe/Grey Hulk is teenage impulse morphed into wish fulfillment and repressed desires that Bruce doesn’t indulge. Joe is a child’s idea of a tough guy and insight into what actually goes on in Bruce’s head. Though he’ll never admit it. A hybrid of Joe Pesci, Ralph Meeker and Hunter S Thompson. The Professor is adult Bruce’s idealized self, perfected with Hulk’s strength, Joe’s cunning and Bruce’s mind. With the Professor you see Bruce’s fantasy made reality. Maestro is Bruce failing, not breaking the cycle and becoming a monster just like his father who hurts women and bullies the weak. Maestro is Bruce’s nightmare made reality. Green Scar is what Bruce and Hulk can be when they work together, anything is possible. The Green Scar went from champion, to revolutionary, to king, to Worldbreaker. The Devil is seperate in that he isn’t a fragment, he’s a whole other person almost, a strong but kind father, who came every night after Brian passed out drunk. Unfortunately Bruce was too scarred to ever think that a father could be strong, kind or even nice. The Devil is the father Bruce never had and he will always be there for Bruce and Hulk, cause he loves that stupid kid, someone had to.
I really liked how this video highlights Bruce's trauma and his ways of dealing problems. You should try 'Incredible Hulk: Heart Of The Monster' it dives into Bruce's mind at a very deeper level which still fascinates a lot to me. Great Work man ❤
A lot of people sleep on the incredible hulk because they butchered him in the mcu, a low blow for us hulk fans. Because universal and marvel at the time were stingy about how to share the character, we lost out on an incredible hulk trilogy. His comics, however, remained one of the best marvel stories we've read in a while, especially immortal hulk. They figured out a way to make Hulk and Bruce interesting to new readers of the green beast by turning it into a horror story. Which works very well for a character like Hulk because they essentially went back to their roots and focused more on making him Marvel's Frankenstein/werewolf character that comes out at night. Which is basically what Bruce has to suffer with Everytime he transforms since, at the core if it all, it really was just an accident brought upon to a simple man who didn't ask for any of this to happen to him. Pretty tragic, especially once you delve deep into Bruce's childhood.
Ang Lee’s film has some issues, but it is a very good and borderline great film. But it is a great comic book movie. That if they only reworked a few different things here and there would’ve been an all-time great, and it is way ahead of its time. It’s more truthful and respectful to the iconic status of the best hulk stories from the source material and more true to the core essence of the character. Also, your critiques and some of peoples others are stupid. The Hulk dogs are awesome, they come from the comics. The Hulk ripping them to shreds shows his savageness and is supposed to be a cinematic homage to King Kong. Which the film kind of in essence is, it’s a monster movie, it’s Jekyll and Hyde, meets Frankenstein, meets King Kong. That’s what makes it so unique and not your stereotypical by the numbers comic book character or movie. The main protagonist is selfless and heroic, and has a tragic story due to his father and saving someone from radiation causes him to be a raging monster that is the manifestation of his childhood trauma (Also, why this version is more baby faced, intentionally, which idiots, confused and slandered saying he looked like Shrek) a character and a movie for that matter that is totally misunderstood, who doesn’t want to harm anybody, even though he has the power of a nuclear bomb, or it’s implied, and he destroys things that piss him off or continuously annoy him. He doesn’t go out of his way to destroy shit or harm people or things. He just defends himself and people he cares about. Like a child with unbridled rage. He just wants to be left alone until he calms down. Which is realistically, how anybody is when they get super angry. The more you try to engage and fuck with somebody when they’re pissed off, the madder they get, just leave them alone. The comic book panel transitions are genius. The execution could’ve been better to add to the storytelling however … and in regards to Talbot‘s death scene with that transition, you also misunderstand it, it’s supposed to be levity, it’s supposed to be funny, and it is. Just wish they would’ve made Talbot in additional villain throughout the entire movie besides his father, and let him become a gamma radiated monster that we get to see get his comeuppance at the physical hands of Banner.
