I was watching the Incredible Hulk and it was just amazing the way they just kept shooting him with bullets and rockets
and grenades, and fire and explosions and radioactivity. Nothing slowed him down. In fact, it only seemed to make him more
angry, which I kind of get. Because even if those things can't hurt you, just the fact that someone hates you enough to even
try would kind of piss you off. Like when someone tries to trip you up and make you look stupid, even if you see them doing
it and you step around them, it still kind of pisses you off that they would even try. But in the Hulk's case, none of those
weapons even hurt him, and only make him more mad, which makes him more destructive, and yet everyone keeps trying with more
bulets and bigger explosions and fire.
It kind of makes you wonder at what point even the best-trained soldier in the world would just say "Screw this!" Becuase
it seems like the odds of facing a court-martial for failure to obey orders are somewhat less than that the Hulk will throw
a burning tank at you.
The only thing that seems to calm him down is Betty Ross, which is understandable considering how hot she is even despite
those weird bangs in her hair. But surprisingly this goes unnoticed by all the military geniuses in the movie, who just want
to keep shooting. Maybe it's just fun for them.
Even if I was radioactive like Bruce Banner, I don't think I've ever been mad enough to totally lose control and turn
into the Hulk, except maybe once or twice. On TV, people were always throwing him out of windows and setting him on fire.
The strange thing was that, on the TV show, he was the calmest, wisest, most even-tempered guy you would ever meet. He never
even raised his voice. And yet, everywhere he went, someone bigger than him wanted to kick his ass.
The bad guy in the movie was The Abomination, who was kind of an English version of the Hulk. You can tell he's English
because even the name sounds fancy and a little gay. Neither one of them seemed particularly heroic and I wasn't sure who
to root for, because they both kind of seemed like dickheads who were just tearing things up for the hell of it. There's supposed
to be a movie where the Hulk teams up with Iron Man and Captain America, but I can't see that happening. Maybe it's just me.
