StuartHOST
... having to die in order to get to the truth.
ArnieHOST
That's what I'm supposed to be thinking of? I'm thinking of Nick Nolte in that 2003 Hulk movie when he touches metal and becomes part of the metal and has to pull his hand back.
ArnieHOST
That's what I'm thinking of.
StuartHOST
[laughs] I'm also thinking of Tetsuo: Iron Man, if you've ever seen that '80s indie movie, but it's a cyberpunk classic.
Denis CôtéGUEST
I don't know what.
Denis CôtéGUEST
I saw a Marvel once because it was directed by Ang Lee and it was Hulk.
Denis CôtéGUEST
That's not a joke.
Denis CôtéGUEST
It's the only Marvel I saw.
Rob HaldenHOST
We'll explore...
Rob HaldenHOST
His three earliest appearances in the pages of The Incredible Hulk back in 1974, the costume and the claws, the powers and the personality, will examine just how much of the Wolverine we all know today is there right at the very beginning.
Rob HaldenHOST
So get ready, folks, for a true deep dive into a Marvel milestone.
Rob HaldenHOST
I'm really excited for this one, Will.
Rob HaldenHOST
So, you know, it's not really three issues.
Rob HaldenHOST
But this earliest appearance has never been depicted.
Rob HaldenHOST
um in any like there's no there's nothing on this in the x-men cartoon in the 90s nothing in x-men 97 there's nothing in x-men evolution like this there's nothing in any of the movies like this so whilst we've dealt a lot with like the history of oh this is how we joined the x-men there's a lot of wolverine stuff we looked at there's this we've never touched and there's no reason for us to have ever touched it really like this would be a massive um diversion when we're looking at a movie to go let's now talk about the hulk comic from the 1970s where he first appears like We may well have mentioned it and said that he first fought the Hulk, but this, there's so much to get into.
Rob HaldenHOST
Whereas, you know, there isn't the scope for us to, we've looked at the first Spider-Man comic.
Ryan RitterHOST
I should just play and see what happens.
Ryan RitterHOST
Bruce Banner lives in exile in Brazil, trying to figure out what causes him to become the Hulk when he gets angry.
Ryan RitterHOST
Then his old nemesis, General Ross, tracks him down with a ferocious fighting man in tow and sends him on the run back to the college lab where he first experimented on himself and fell in love.
Ryan RitterHOST
straightforward comic book movie has energy to spare and a first-rate performance by norton monstrous street fight finale is reminiscent of the climax of transformers
Jimmy McShaneHOST
And the Avengers.
Jimmy McShaneHOST
Yes.
Jimmy McShaneHOST
I don't remember seeing the incredible Hulk with you, but I could be mistaken.
Ryan RitterHOST
Okay.
Luke SeayHOST
Yeah, like, like, yeah.
Blake TourvilleHOST
I mean, he made Hulk.
Dany JoshuvaHOST
I feel like that's more likely the directors were talking about.
Dany JoshuvaHOST
You know, maybe we're, we're wrong.
Mike SmithHOST
Crouching Tiger rocks.
Mike SmithHOST
And of course, Ang Lee is a filmmaker who began his career in Taiwan in the mid-90s and then made the transition to mostly American films, gaining a ton of acclaim for films like Crouching Tiger and for Brokeback Mountain and for Life of Pi, while also working to push the medium of film forward by experimenting with different visual storytelling or new technology, like in 2003's Hulk, which... was not really well acclaimed at the time.
Mike SmithHOST
Uh, and I think a lot of people would still say that movie is bad.
Mike SmithHOST
However, is one of the more like visually interesting comic book movies ever made, which is, I think a fair thing to say about it, right?
Mike DeCristoforoHOST
It's
Mike SmithHOST
like a literal comic adaptation, like, you know, to screen, uh, which, uh, was sort of mocked at the time.
Mike SmithHOST
And I think in the time since, after like 20 years of, you know, Marvel movies and DC movies and movies of varying degrees of quality and a much more like generic house style for a lot of these films, having something that's as idiosyncratic as Hulk is kind of looked back on now as like, we used to make movies and we used to let Ang Lee make a $200 million Hulk movie, you know? Yeah.
Mike SmithHOST
that's something we used to do uh and i saw it for my 10th birthday and at one point somebody threw a green jolly rancher on the screen uh and for a lot of the movie it looked like the hulk had a booger hanging out that's awesome that's my main memory of 2003's hulk it's one i really should go back and re-watch i do want to give that movie another shot at some point i didn't like it when i was 10 yeah release the booger cut if i ever watch hulk again and i'm sure i will at some point i'm going to throw a green jolly rancher at my tv so that there's a For consistency's sake, you know? Yeah.
Ellsworth TallmanGUEST
