THE INCREDIBLE HULK - MOVIE REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING 

The thing with Hulk is he is a sympathetic character. When Bruce transforms, Hulk is his own being and really wants to be left alone and doesn’t hurt anyone that are innocent. However, he has to fight whoever is attacking him whether it’s the army, villains, and even heroes because they all believe he is a monster but tries to do good. Stan Lee based him off of the Frankenstein monster in that they are misunderstood and treated poorly by everyone.

This is the most underrated MCU movie and had the best depiction of romance in the franchise. They really had each other's back and were in it together no matter the consequences. It was them against the world and you could see and feel it. Also although I like Ruffalo, Norton was great as Banner too. And I loved the very memorable, really effective, and moving main theme music as well. It was definitely one of the best scores in all of the MCU. And my personal favorite. Thanks for doing a reaction. Also 10:14 the security guard was Lou Ferrigno. The original Hulk.

When Hulk says "Leave me alone." it gives me chills everytime.

The reason Buce becomes the Hulk so fast -- in the opening credits sequence! -- is because this was the second MCU movie and they still weren't sure the MCU would be successful. So this film is written as a semi-sequel to Ang Lee's Hulk (2003), but with a different cast. In fact, it used to be possible to buy a DVD double feature that included Hulk (2003) and Incredible Hulk (2008). That movie covers the origin of the Hulk and the opening sequence basically recaps the events of that movie -- though the origin was changed slightly to reference the Hulk television series (1977-1982), just to make things even more confusing. Hulk (2003) ends with Bruce Banner in hiding in South America, so this movie begins with Bruce in hiding in South America.

Since you kept calling him “Bad Hulk” I’m just letting you know that the character’s name in the comics is Abomination. This is why before Dr Sterns agreed to mutate him, he said “The mixture could be an abomination”

The security guard he gave the extra pizza to is the OG Hulk from the 1978 show

That guy on the beginning of the movie, the one that slaps Bruce Banner, he's Rickson Gracie, one of the sons of Hélio Gracie, founder of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu martial art. That guy was an amazing fighter on his youth, he even challenged Mike Tyson for a fight with no rules (Tyson declined). Also, I completely forgot about the scene, and it's always nice to hear Brazilian Portuguese in a foreign movie. :) And the security guy bribed with pizza is Lou Ferrigno, the actor who was the Hulk in the late 70s TV series.

This is honestly the best Hulk portrayal in the MCU. Norton wanted to continue exploring the dark themes in this film because he liked where it was going, and Marvel was at first all about it, but then they did a 180 and said "lol no, we're making him comic relief", so he left the project. This is why Mark Ruffalo plays Banner in the later films. The Hulk is a manifestation of Bruce's deep seated anger borne out of childhood trauma that he's repressed. The experiments with the super soldier serum and the gamma radiation just made it into a physical manifestation rather than just a mental one. This also has the effect of making the Hulk stronger the angrier he gets; in theory, there is no upper limit to his strength, depending on his rage level. The madder you make him, the harder it's going to be to stop him, and I love that. This is also why Abomination was doomed to fall; Abom's strength is about twice that of baseline Hulk, but his power doesn't increase with fury like Hulk's does, so the longer the fight went on, it was inevitable that Hulk would win. And yes, Sam Stearns is supposed to become a classic comic villain, The Leader, which is hinted at when the contaminated blood drips into his head wound and his head starts pulsating. The Leader is kind of the opposite of the Hulk: physically weak but mentally overpowering, and able to control gamma-rays with his mind. There's also something very appealing, at least to me, of letting go of all your worries, doubts, and fears, and becoming a giant green rage-monster :P

the security guard he gives the free pizza to, is Lou Ferrigno a bodybuilder that played the hulk in "The Incredible Hulk" tv show during the late 70s early 80s era

Hulk’s strength level depends on his rage. The angrier he gets, the more powerful he becomes. Which means that once his rage is at maximum, his power will be practically infinite.

Notice how big the incredible hulk is compared to the hulk in the mcu And Notice how much he never stops coming the more you fight the incredible hulk the more powerful he becomes

I think I prefer still Edward Norton's take on Banner and Hulk, even if I'm used to Ruffalo by now. I can't help thinking about how the later movies might've been with Norton's Hulk. Glad you liked it too!

That third transformation in that lab shows how absolutely agonizing it is for Bruce Banner to transform into The Incredible Hulk. Bones, muscles, and skin growing, shifting and stretching is a visual spectacle in itself as well as horrifying. It's right up there with watching someone in a horror movie transform into a werewolf.

This is the original character the INCREDIBLE HULK and this is what Bruce banner looks like and his true love Betty Ross

In this version of his origin, Bruce was working on the radiation resistance when he accidentally overdosed on Gamma Radiation. They actually used the same machine and chair setup from the television series.

This depiction of Hulk is more accurate than the watered down Ruffalo version. Hulk is a rage machine.

The best MCU film in my opinion. I love it so much. It's actually one of my favorite movies.

Gotta say, Hulk in this movie is the best we see him for me in the MCU. But we also spend a lot of time with him to. Growing up watching the tv series this just feels like it keeps to that version of hulk the most, which is how I remember him most.

06:39 the isolation shot of his eyes turning, is a direct homage to Bill Bixby's transformation from the television show. Bill is seen in the tv segment of "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" seen earlier when Bruce was having his dinner.

The Incredible Hulk Film is veeerrrryyyyy underrated

The security guard at Culver University is Lou Ferrigno the actor who played the Hulk in the 1970s series.

The Hulk version has combat skills, unlike Hulk who smashed everything in The Avengers.

Samuel Sterns (Mr. Blue) in comics is the villain known as the Leader. He was a scientist mutated by gamma radiation like Bruce but he turned hyper-intelligent with a huge head instead of super-strong like Banner. The scene where the drop starts deforming his head probably was foreshadowing his appearance in an hypothetical sequel that never happened. Every time I see this movie I find it better and now I think it´s better than many of the movies of phase 4 so far.

Film trivia: the scene where the Hulk brings Elizabeth to the cliff side cave is a reference to the original _King Kong_ (1933) when Kong carries Ann Darrow (played by Fay Wray) to a similar cliff side cave.

@17:57 The purple sweatpants are a tongue-in-cheek reference to the comic book Hulk who was always wearing purple pants when he transformed.

Bruce Banner spends his life avoiding conflicts and Blonsky/Abomination is that guy who's always looking for a fight, his "next target" and simply never learns not to mess with the Hulk.

Ed Norton plays the best Bruce Banner and its not even remotely close. He makrs me believe he is intelligent unlike Mark Ruffalo who acts like the stereo typical blonde girl personality. Basically a dolt. Plus Ed has that X factor to him that few actors have. Sucks that he was a D-Nozzle behind the scenes which is why they parted ways.

It is this Hulk that we want to return to the movies. Strong, powerful and dark and not this goofy, nerfed selfie-lover.

Just so you know the security guard he gave the free pizza too, was the actor who played the hulk in the original TV series. A little something extra for hulk fans.

Most people consider “Iron Man” to be the start of the MCU proper, but this was intended as the ‘official’ first film of the franchise. The vast majority of fans completely ignore this movie for some reason however. Even if they do acknowledge it, it’s usually their least favourite in the franchise. There was another version of the origin story several years before this one, directed by Ang Lee and starring Eric Bana as Bruce, simply titled “Hulk”. It was a bit more experimental in film style and is largely forgotten by MCU fans, but might be worth a look, if only for it’s curiosity value. I was living in Toronto during the summer when this film was being shot (sorry, that wasn’t really Harlem, but actually downtown Yonge street) and saw up close many of the props used, like damaged vehicles and US style street furniture.

This is the Hulk we know and love Not the Avengers' pet/comic relief

Rest in peace, William Hurt (the man who played General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross). Also, Mark Ruffalo, believe it or not, was the director's original choice to play the Hulk in this movie. Pretty interesting. Well, next up is Iron Man 2, then you have Thor and Captain America's respective origin films, and then The Avengers. You're halfway through Phase 1.

Young people haha. You missed the Lou Ferrigno cameo as the security guard. Also the name of the pizza place is a big easter egg to Marvel history. I love the nods to the original TV show and the comics that this movie made plus an epic Stan Lee cameo. These things are misses by a new age of viewers but that's ok. The story still lives.

I love Edward Norton - he's one of my all-time favorite actors. Something about the man always pulls me in ;D This and his uncredited role in Kingdom of Heaven are, honestly, some of my favorites. Red Dragon, too, is fantastic. I wished he had continued on in the series, but he dipped out verrrry early on and gave Ruffalo his blessing.

The angrier Hulk gets the stronger he gets and there is no limit supposedly. That is why he is the strongest Avenger. This leads us to one of the most consistent truths of the Marvel universe.........You shouldn't oughtta hurt Betty.

Hulk is one of the Marvel Comics Universe's most powerful characters. Tragically, Bruce's mother died when he was very young, and his father was very verbally and physically abusive towards him throughout his childhood, and Bruce greww up with a lot of repressed anger toward his father. The experiment that irradiated him was the catalyst for his power, but his anger or pain triggers the metamorposis. The madder Hulk gets, the stronger he gets, thereby making his physical strnegth near limitless. Two inspirations for his character were the classic novels of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (misunderstood creature) and Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (duality of man and monster).

When the mcu first started; I knew they had rumored they were all going to be connected. I didn't get too excited because it had never happened before. But the end credit scene in this movie was what really got me excited because for the first time ever a superhero from another move showed up and my mind was blown. This lit the fire in my heart for the MCU.

17:57 The purple pants are a call back to the "Incredible Hulk" comics.

I definitely think it is an underrated movie and it is actually one of my favourites in the MCU.

"he's only a fugitive because you made him one", that line comes back during a scene in INFINITY WAR spoken by James Rhodes to Ross about Steve being on the run.

Little known fact/rumor: During the lightning storm when Hulk and Betty were in the cave you can see in the distance you can see Thor falling from the sky after being banished from Asgard

"The incredible Hulk" series of the ´70s is very sad... especially the Show theme song "The lonely man" played at the end of every chapter...

Hey, could you pls check out dead poets society? It’s a really good film, another classic with the beloved robin williams about carpe diem and self expression. and also some actors who you may recognise are in it and are young in this film. If you could it would be greatly appreciated but you don’t have to. Love your content as always and looking forwards it 💙👍

This movie was a tribute to the 70's TV show, the Music in the background when Bruce is getting to the Mexican town is the main theme of the the TV show, the name of the tune is The Lonely Man, just in case you want to hear it. One of the students recording the video of the fight in the university is Jack Mcgee, one of the characters on the show, a reporter. You can also see when he is in Brazil, that scene when he is watching TV, Bill Bixby(he played Banner) and Lou Ferrigno(the big security guard with the pizza) he was the Hulk. Even the accident in the opening scene was portrait the same as in the show. It's a shame this movie is so underrated.

Yes, he did learn to control it. That's why he was smiling.

Best on screen Hulk till date,Ruffalo's Hulk/Banner is a joke.

The incredible Hulk is far better than the current MCU Hulk that we have.

One of my favorite MCU films. So underrated.

Incredible reaction, Addie. I grew up with this MCU movie since the Hulk is my favorite Marvel comic book character, alongside Spider-Man, Venom, Deadpool, and Shang-Chi (pronounced Shaahng-chee). You should check out The Hulk (2003) with Eric Bana as Bruce Banner & Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross and Fight Club (1999), another movie with Edward Norton in it.

Great reaction! 😊 This one of those movies that the more I watch it, the more I enjoy it. And as much as I love Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner aka the Hulk, I did really enjoy Edward Norton in this movie. I don't remember the exact reason for the recast, but I THINK that Edward Norton wanted more creative say. Not 100% sure on what really happened. Next up in the MCU: "Iron Man 2". Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊

The purple sweatpants are a reference to the comic book..... Hulk always had purple/violet pants for some reason. This Hulk is most like the comic book compared to the first film and the MCU movies.

(At 25:25) terrifying? Why do you think he's called "Abomination"?

They gave him a version of the super soldier serum

10:53 The man with Betty is Dr. Leonard Samson. In the comics, he did work on a way to separate Bruce from the Hulk. While working closely together, he and Betty did become close. Leonard did expose himself to Gamma radiation and became a green-haired muscleman. Bruce was feeling abandoned by Betty and tried to commit suicide by detonating the device holding the purged radiation, which only allowed the mindless Hulk to escape. In order to end the mindless rampage, Doc Samson had to help fight the Hulk and get Banner and Hulk merged again. In the comics, this allowed Banner to become known eventually as the green-skinned Professor Hulk after a long time as grey-skinned "Joe Fix-It" working in Las Vegas.

Just some fun info for you Addie, the security guard that he gave the pizza to is Lou Ferrigno who played the Hulk in the TV series:)

Addie, I like your channel! Some films I think you and your subscribers would like are: EYE IN THE SKY (Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman); THE OTHERS (Nicole Kidman); LOST IN TRANSLATION (Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson); CRIMSON TIDE (Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman); OCTOBER SKY

The MCU movie everyone forgets is part of the MCU

I love Mark Ruffalo and the newer versions of the Hulk, but it’s cool going back and seeing this more animalistic version of the Hulk.

Though this is the only Hulk movie with Edward Norton in the role, it is still effectively canon to the MCU, as later films do reference events and characters in this movie. For example, in one of the Avengers films, Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner mentions how he "broke Harlem", alluding to this film's climactic fight. There are varying stories behind Norton's departure, though it is believed that Norton wanted to be more creatively involved in this film, and it's said that he even involved himself in rewriting portions of the film while shooting. Apparently, this upset Marvel Studios, as they wanted to maintain as much of their creative control going forward as they could. That's understandable when you consider how interconnected the MCU films are and how much planning is required to make sure all the dots connect from movie to movie. So rather than deal with this issue going forward, they recast Norton with Ruffalo.

The Hulk is the first MCU film and had Eric Bana as the Hulk and I liked it better than the Norton one

I like this one as an Avenger, however I prefer the Amazing Hulk which many people put on their bad movie list

This movie gets overlooked so much! I love this movie a lot and the hulk film that stars Eric Bana! I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed it as well!

The part where he pretends to be a pizza delivery guy and approaches that security guard... the security guard was played by Lou Ferigno, who played the original Hulk in the TV show from the...70's and 80's (don't recall exactly when the show aired but it was either late 70's or early to mid 80's)

As far as "Bad Hulk" (properly called the Abomination) 's fate goes, there is a brief mention of him in the Marvel TV show Agents of Shield. During season one, someone mentions that he is in a cryogenic cell, under constant guard.

"Was that lightning? That just struck him?" No, I think it startled him, causing him to hit his head on the cave ceiling (for the second time).

I like how you add just the right amount of flavor to your reactions. Not too saucy but not too stale, you've mastered the art. Lol Also, you missed the Lou Ferrigno cameo. The original TV Hulk!

Hulk is my all time favorite marvel heroes and awesome reaction Addie loved this video keep up the amazing work

The security guard Edward Norton bribes with a pizza is Lou Ferrigno, the actor who was the original Hulk in Hulk form...

I remember seeing this with my dad in a theater in San Diego. I wish I can remember the name of the place because it had an awesome ice cream bar like Cold Stone. It even had a sweet cinnamon flavor which I bought without hesitation. So yummy.

the bad hulks name is abomination Addie.

In the *Agents of SHIELD* tv show they explain that Abomination was placed in suspended animation and kept at a facility called The Icebox. Later (I'd explain how, but its a major spoiler) he escapes and he was last seen in *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,* where he is participating in superhuman underground fighting. He's supposed to appear in the upcoming She-Hulk series. Samuel Sterns, the doctor who "cures" Bruce, is a character from the comics called *The Leader.* The comic book character has a giant, oversized brain in a massive head and green skin as a result of exposure to gamma radiation (which gave the comic book Hulk his powers), and is sort of the opposite of the Hulk -- where as gamma radiation made Hulk super-strong, it made the Leader super-smart. He's a super scientist who can read people's minds and control them telepathically. So in this movie, when the Hulk juice drips into Stern's head wound and his head starts bubbling and expanding, that's the origin story of the MCU's Leader. This character has never appeared again, not even a mention. One of several dangling plot lines of the MCU. Also, there's a one-shot short film in which it's revealed that SHIELD actually wanted to recruit the Abomination for the Avengers, but Phil Coulson thought this was a terrible idea (and it is), so he sends Tony knowing that Tony's ego and smarmy personality will rub Ross the wrong way and make him refuse to cooperate.

Bruce has the super soldier serum as well, but instead of using vita ray like Abraham Erskine used, Bruce experimented with gamma ray. Oh and also Betty Ross is not his wife, she's just his girlfriend.

The best Hulk movie ever, period. It's so sad Norton is not anymore Banner and, honestly, i never liked Ruffalo as Hulk/Banner.

The first Hulk comic book was written it was actually an adaptation of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Lots of nods to the 70s TV show "The Incredible Hulk," which is incidentally one of my favorite takes on the Hulk. The opening of this film echoes the opening sequence of the show, they got a cameo from the late Bill Bixby, who played David Banner (renamed from Bruce because an exec didn't like the name Bruce) in one of his other shows when Bruce is channel surfing in Brazil, Lou Ferrigno played Hulk in that show and plays the security guard who gets bribed with pizza here, when Bruce is returning to civilization after his first incident they play "The Lonely Man," the very memorable outro music from the show. What I love about that series is that, as much as David is afraid of what the Hulk can do, we see constantly that Hulk only uses force against those who deserve it, and then only as much force as necessary to protect himself or others. Stan Lee once talked about how he felt it was very important that Bruce became the Hulk in the comics in a heroic way, hence his original origin of being part of a nuclear weapon test, seeing a kid had driven into the testing range, and going out to throw the kid in a ditch to get him away from the explosion, but Bruce couldn't make it to shelter in time. What the series did was expand on that: David Banner was a medical doctor, his research was about helping people and exploring the limits of the power of the human body. David is fundamentally a good man who doesn't want to hurt anyone. Hulk is David, so Hulk is fundamentally good and doesn't want to hurt anyone. In the comics, this has not been consistent. Hulk has gone from antisocial to outright misanthropic, depending on the incarnation. This was eventually established to be because Bruce has Dissociative Identity Disorder as a result of an abusive father, and there actually several Hulks who are all his alters. But I generally prefer the idea that Bruce and Hulk are essentially the same person, and I love Bruce's arc in the MCU. And no matter how many times I see this movie, HULK. . . ***SMASH!!!*** still gives me chills.

The Security Guard muscle guy who lets him in the building is Lou Ferrigno.....He played 'The Hulk' in the Hulk TV Show back in the late 70's to early 80's....

So I searched your posts I'm guessing you haven't seen the First Hulk movie they made before this... that's semi why it jumps. Loved this movie. I was most sad to not have Liv Tyler continue the role but it is what is it. I'm excited after seeing this post of your reaction to see your reactions as this universe unveils to you.

9:28 Roger (Rog) from What's Happening 10:12 Lou Ferrigno the Original INCREDIBLE HULK 24:05 the name drop of who Hulk fought. ABOMINATION. After the Avengers it all went downhill for Hulk. I still preferred Norton's Hulk over Ruffalo. Ruffalo's Hulk had to grow on me. Then WAITITI DESTROYED HIM LIKE HE DID THOR........but that's just me. 😁

This is the closest we will ever get to having a proper Hulk in the MCU. Like what they’ve done to him is unforgivable like he just sucks after infinity war. Hopefully with Universal returning the rights back to Marvel Studios they can make Hulk good again. They just need a good writer attached. I want to see a massive, berserk and angry Hulk, not Shrek.

Hi Addie. I will probably get arguments about "canon", but I must say that you watched the wrong "Hulk" movie. I am not saying which movie is better or which connects to the MCU. The first Hulk movie was called "Hulk" (2003). At the end of that movie, he goes to South America. You will notice that this movie "The Incredible Hulk" starts in South America. The first movie is the one where he first becomes the Hulk. It stars Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly. Then comes this movie TIH The Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton. There is some reason why the MCU had to use a different Hulk actor, which is Mark Ruffalo. I like all three actor's portrayals. They are each playing the Hulk at different stages of his development. Eric Bana is a normal guy. Ed Norton is trying to live with 'the other guy' inside him. Lastly, Mark Ruffalo is the completed new person that Bruce becomes after living with the Hulk for years. These are the differences in the Bruce parts of Hulk. The Hulk part progresses also. It is funny that Bruce Banner was played by Eric Bana. (Pronounced as "Bane-err" or "Banner") He shortened his name to Bana from Banavic, or something similar. The Hulk in the television series was David Banner. There is an episode of this show that features Thor. In the movie Hulk, David Banner is his father. In all other media the character was called Bruce Banner.

I'm going to DARE you to go back and watch the 1977 Incredible Hulk TV movie starring Bill Bixby. I double-dog dare you. And if you do, I'm going to watch you cry your eyes out as it rips your heart out of your chest, hands it to you, and says, "Sad yet?"

30:17 - haven't seen it mentioned elswhere in the comments but the package is addressed to "David B." In the 1980s TV show, they changed the name "Bruce Banner" to "David Banner". This package label was a nod to that.

Just for timeline purposes, this movie takes place around the same time as "Iron Man 2" and "Thor".

All I can think about when I see "Hulk" is the Family Guy cutaway Where the Guy says "You wn't like me when I'm angry." and the other guy says "I don't like you NOW." 😂

In the MCU, Bruce modified the Super-Soldier serum but he used Gamma Rays and it turned him into The Hulk. Blonsky took the Super-Soldier serum that Captain America took, then took the serum that Bruce made and turned into The Abomination.

Considered to be one of the worst Marvel movies ever made, along with Iron Man 2, and Thor: The Dark World.

Addie i know this kinda random but theres this Coldplay song called "Green Eyes" that I think you'd like :D

The Abomination is brought back in Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and he’ll be in the Disney Plus show She-Hulk 🙂

He becomes Hulk so fast, cause this movie is kind of a sequel/remake. U get more background story in Hulk movie from 2003. Its not that good tho, so only worth it, if u really want to know more about Hulk.

This is not the Hulk Origin video. This is the second movie. The one with Eric Bana was the origin story. Nice reaction though.

The distance from that Brazilian favela to Guatemala is like 7000 kilometers.

The Hulk became a household name in the 70s when CBS approached Kenneth Johnson to do a superhero TV series. Back then it was virtually impossible to do a seriously themed superhero show or movie. (With the exception of the 1978 Superman movie). Plus Johnson didn't even like comic books. But after reading Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables", he decided to re-adapt the Incredible Hulk into a modern version of the novel. Focusing on Dr. Banner and the friendships/relationships he would make while on the run from an investigative reporter. Bill Bixby brought a much needed charisma and charm to the otherwise guilt ridden Dr Banner, whom in the series had his name changed to David. Richard Kiel was originally cast as the Incredible Hulk for his large size, but when he was put into costume and Johnson's son saw him, his reaction was, "That's not the Hulk!' At one point Arnold Schwarzeneger was asked to play the jolly green giant, but was filming "Conan the Barbarian" at the time and had to pass. But he recommended his body building friend/rival Lou Ferigno for the part. While Ferigno was not the size they were looking for, his muscular build and lifetime fandom of the Hulk (In fact the Hulk inspired him to become a bodybuilder) made him the perfect choice. In fact he would go on to voice the Hulk in the MCU and has a cameo in the Hulk movie as the security guard.

At 7:19 you can actually hear Hulk say "leave me alone" I can't believe I never heard that before!

I know it's considered pretty bad, but I acc kinda like most of the CGI in this film tbh

I really hate how they completely dropped the Betty Ross subplot. Liv Tyler could have been his Pepper Potts

The purple pants were an inside joke because Hulk always wears purple pants in the comic books.

The security guard to let him in is Lou Ferrigno who played The Incredible Hulk, a show from the 70s. Even though it is before my time growing up as a kid during early 90s they were still showing re-runs on regular tv channels.

Idc who thinks about this movie but to my apinon aboyt this hulk movie is one of my favorite movies of all time amd no one cant convinced me that theres a better hulk movie then this

DOES Addie KNOW that this is NOT the first movie of the trilogy? .. .It goes .Banner, Norton, Ruffalo ! .. A LOT of REACTORS DO THAT:. i HATE IT !! Start at teh FRONT ! ! PAGE 1 !! You cannot read a book starting at page 135 ..

They were planning another stand alone Hulk movie depending on the reception of this movie. The facial changes to Mr Blue after he got clobbered by Blonski was due to him getting some of the blood in him. He was becoming the villian The Leader who was super smart.
