But he does a couple of scenes later though, when Banner, now relocated to an unnamed big city that we'll call Vancouver (because, well, it's Vancouver) interrupts an attempted rape on Vancouver's subway.
This time around, Banner gives up a plum ditch-digging job because… well, a guy pushes him into mud.ĭoes he become the Hulk somewhere in there to liven things up? Nope. In the 1978-82 TV series The Incredible Hulk, Banner hitchhiked from town to town trying to build a normal life for himself, but something would always cause him to have to move on, usually involving his secret being revealed, or being provoked into becoming the Hulk. The premise, for the three of you who are reading this but managed to skip two Hulk films AND The Avengers: David Banner (Bill Bixby) is a genius scientist who becomes the green-skinned Hulk (Lou Ferrigno) when he gets angry. That came some 25 years ago in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, a 1989 TV movie meant to serve as a backdoor pilot for an NBC Daredevil series (and now available on Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant). The acrobatic Marvel Comics crimefighter-blind, gifted defense attorney Matt Murdock by day, masked vigilante with enhanced senses by night–offers a perfect blend of three different kinds of popular TV genres: lawyer drama, crime story, and superhero, all without a need for overwhelming special effects that might alienate the more-staid CSI crowd.īut while Netflix's Marvel's Daredevil series is probably the best attempt the character is ever going to have at reaching a mainstream audience on the small screen (and the less said about 2003's Ben Affleck-starring big-screen effort, the better) it's by no means the first live-action adaptation of the classic Marvel Comics character.
