Hulk: The worst superhero ever.
05/07/08
The fact of the matter is that the Hulk has never been an interesting superhero. The main reason, I think, is that the Hulk is, essentially, a super-strong raging drunk. He doesn't have any control over himself. That means: No clever escapes; no plotting; no electrocuting robots with an overhanging power line- just "smashing." Hence, the pathetic lineage:
The comic book (except for Hulk 451, which was brilliant):
The "hugely" popular cartoon that nobody remembers and looks like it was animated by the Hulk himself:
The awfully repetitive television show:
The first Hulk film: A movie so bad, they had to make it twice:
Finally, the next sure-to-be clunker. Let me guess: A conflicted, anguished scientist; the amoral, military-industrial complex; an "epic" battle between two similarly-matched supers. It's enough to make me wish for a Hawkman movie.
