History YMMV / TheIncrediblehulk

* TheScrappy: Fans prefer to forget the way Comics/SheHulk was portrayed in Season 2.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: At the news that Edward Norton would be playing the Hulk. Tim Roth as Blonsky went down pretty well too.
** "Hulk Smash!"

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: 30+ years after the original series ended, Marvel (Now owned by Disney) and ABC are thinking of doing another live-action Hulk show. And the [[GuillermoDelToro guy]] who did PansLabyrinth is going to work on it, too!

* AdaptationDisplacement: In popular culture, you're more likely to hear Dr. Banner referred to as "David" than "Bruce".
** Not true. There are scores of people who don't even know his name is David. I think this was foxed by Marvel stating Bruce is his middle name.
*** His name isn't David. They changed it for the live action series because Kenneth Johnson (the producer) did not exactly care for alliterative names. His full name is Robert Bruce Banner; in the early issues, Stan Lee couldn't remember whether he named him Bob or Bruce, and he's refered to as both. They retconned(or clarified) it so that first name was Robert and his middle name was Bruce, though Bruce is what he is most commonly refered to in the comics.
**** One has to wonder if the producer explained his distaste for alliterative names to BillBixby.
** Aside from his name, the fact remains that for quite a while, up until the current slate of Marvel movies started up, The Hulk was one of the only Marvel characters that a lot of people had heard of. Kids had comics and cartoons, but many adults didn't know the first thing about the X-Men, Daredevil, Thor, etc. But they knew The Hulk, because of this show.

** Also, Edward Norton previously played the Narrator of FightClub, and if you know [[ItWasHisSled the ending of that film...]]

* NightmareFuel: The series has been described as most frightening TV series ever for young children, with its focus on radical change into a creature making animal like sounds.

** In CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger, it's revealed that the super soldier serum strenghtens the user's main personality trait. In that movie, [[CaptainAmerica Captain America's]] heroism was increased and Red Skull's evilness was increased. In this movie, Blonsky's willingness to fight slowly turns into full on BloodKnight tendencies, combined with DrunkOnTheDarkSide.

* FridgeBrilliance: Hulk, while a tough cookie, isn't shown to be as unstoppable as he normally is. While it can be argued that this makes his conflicts more interesting (and make the forthcoming Avengers crossover more balanced), its interesting to note that this is explained ''in story''. Banner ''has been working on a cure'' while in South America, and recent testing revealed that the gamma within him is much lower, possibly explaining the Hulk's limited strength.

While it can be argued that this makes his conflicts more interesting (and make the forthcoming Avengers crossover more balanced), its interesting to note that this is explained ''in story''. When Banner is testing himself early in the movie he learns that the gamma within him is much lower, possibly explaining the Hulk's limited strength.

However, this is also a YourMileageMayVary situation considering that when a child ages to around 10, the dangers Banner faces are the really scary stuff.

** At one point, Doc Samson mentions that it's a point of pride with him that he can always tell when someone is lying. Emil Blonsky's actor, Tim Roth, later went on to play someone who could do just that in LieToMe.
