The best look at THE HULK yet!

I still have reservations by RogueScribner	Nov 10th, 2002 05:09:47 AM
On the one hand it's Ang Lee, and CTHD was da bomb, yo! On the other hand, all these reports about hulk dogs and the like concern me. I hope this isn't stupid, though I'm sure the FX will be cool. L8r
Are they marketing naked green men? by RogueScribner	Nov 10th, 2002 05:13:08 AM
God I hope they're gonna throw some pants on that thing! We don't need little kids playing with Hulk's boys, if-you-know-what-I-mean. LOL L8r
Is the Hulk all that interesting? by Qwerty Uiop	Nov 10th, 2002 05:17:06 AM
I've never been able to get into him as a character. I've always felt that the Hulk works best as a force of nature, like Galactus. Otherwise, it seems to me like all his stories end the same: "Hulk Smash."
Two right feet! by lurk3001	Nov 10th, 2002 05:26:55 AM
Wow. He's got to right feet. I guess it's just a pre-lim model... or there's more to this. Hmmmmm.
Hulk or She-Hulk? by AchilleJones	Nov 10th, 2002 05:42:57 AM
Imagine how clumsy and depressed the Hulk must be. He has two right feet and no genitalia at all! All kidding aside, the look is great! Check out that musculature. I only wish they had given him a look of rage on his face. But how can you not be pleased by the overall look? Things are definitely looking up for the green behemoth!
The Hulk has no penis!!!! by Psyclops	Nov 10th, 2002 05:53:09 AM
No wonder he's so angry.
Nope by billz3bub	Nov 10th, 2002 06:06:07 AM
The Hulk needs to be more menacing, not just overly-muscular. He looks like a real dumbass in those pics. Lou Ferrigno rules your ass, no one else even comes close. Let the Hulk Hogan jokes commence.
But seriously folks... by Psyclops	Nov 10th, 2002 06:07:05 AM
...this looks pretty damn good. I was never that big of a HULK fan so I'm probably going to accept the changes in the big screen translation with a little less venom than most people. It sounds to me like Ang Lee is trying to make this a serious drama out of this story, focusing more on the tragedy of Banner's situation than the CGI enhancements of his alter ego. The whole situation with the... (((SPOILER WARNING)))... abusive father and genetic inheritance of the 'Hulk' gene... (((END SPOILER))) sounds like Ang Lee is making a very dark and serious film. I hope so. The whole 'love & tragedy' element with Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly reminds me of what Cronenberg did with characters in THE FLY (though I don't think Banner will be pulling out his fingernails or digesting donuts the wrong way). I dunno... maybe I'm just babbling and the movie will end up being a big flashy spectacle like GODZILLA. Man, I hope it doesn't suck.
The Hulk looks like he has Down Syndrome and is coming down off by MentallyMariah	Nov 10th, 2002 06:19:40 AM
Ang lee doing the Hulk? Sounded Terrible when I first heard it and after seeing the toy figures in what looks like a tiny g string, I dunno, Not really looking foward to this one!
HULK? YYEEESSHHH! by DECKERS	Nov 10th, 2002 06:21:00 AM
I dunno, the Hulk in the comic (when I read in the early 80's) never came across as ugly or mean lookin', this looks more like a Frankenstein creation. Is he really going to be naked? Unless he is wearing a g-string we are gonna get an eyeful of some big green cock if that rear-shot is anything to go by!
For the Love of God--- the Talkback is in ORDER. by tav	Nov 10th, 2002 06:28:27 AM
But for how long??? The Hulk has no control over his animal rage and we have no control over the mercurial fate of the talkback. Will it become-- genetic inheritence? A legacy of incompetence and rage passed down without mercy. OR WILL IT? Is it really "incompetence" (as some would have us believe) or some twisted social experiment forged by the demon minds in control of the technology? Yes. Dividing our communication. Making us weak and incoherent--- not by choice-- but by force. HULK SMASH!!! Or is this unreasonable confusion in fact a benevolent force that can be used for good? Does it teach humility to those who post FIRST to be obliterated by the sands of time in the form of a really fucked up talkback order? Does it teach us not to discuss ideas with one another, but to post outside of petty individualism and write directly TRUTH that will be understood within any context of chaos that unfolds? What will become of the HULK????
who cares when LOTR gonna smash all competition by VoiceoftheVirus	Nov 10th, 2002 06:55:15 AM
once the trilogy is complete you'll see the mangled whiffy corpses of star wars, matrix, hulk, spiderman, etc etc yawn, all shown up for the inferior product they are. ... So why bother making these 'lesser' films? Seriously. Roll on TTT, the ONLY film that matters.
This is the She-Hulk, though......right ? by RobinP	Nov 10th, 2002 07:52:48 AM
Or does a dose of radiation actually turn your skin green, give you muscles on top of muscles, and cause your pecker to drop off. Sculpt-wise, nice work, but I still like the Marvel Classics sculpt that came out earlier this year, along with Capt America, Iron Man & Toad. As to the film....if they can explain the existence of an eight foot tall, green, muscular, bare-ass nekkid, peckerless mutant roaming the streets....that I just HAVE to see.
No wonder the Hulk goes into smashing fenzy,, by Thumper2k1	Nov 10th, 2002 08:05:20 AM
no clothes, no genitalia, and two right feet. I'd go ballistic too.
It looks pretty OK... by CoolDan989	Nov 10th, 2002 08:28:16 AM
...but if the toy manufacturers don't want a legion of homosexual kids, they better put pants on that action figure!
UK Talkbackers will understand... by Rogman	Nov 10th, 2002 09:28:47 AM
When I say that Hulky looks exactly like a green Will Carling....or Dane Bowers.
Best look at the jolly green giant... by Silvio Dante	Nov 10th, 2002 09:32:34 AM
it may be, but it doesn't really tell us all that much, now does it? I haven't played with dolls, I mean action figures for quite some time now but I remeber how you couldn't tell Han Solo from Luke Skywalker by their facial "features", just by their outfits. So he's green, muscular and mean-looking but will he actually look like that piece of plastic? I doubt it.
But Cool Dan... by Zarles	Nov 10th, 2002 10:01:04 AM
...what if the toy makers DO want a nation of homosexual children running around? At least they'd be attracted to some pretty nice-looking men. And on that note, ever notice how homoerotic most professional sports fans are? I did.
Did anyone else... by Randall Flagg	Nov 10th, 2002 10:21:52 AM
notice that the Hulk bears a striking resemblance to Eddie Izzard? Shall we expect Banner to become the Hulk because someone calls him Tracy?
HULK SMASH WHOEVER TOOK HULK PENIS!!! by Respect The Cock	Nov 10th, 2002 10:43:05 AM
ARRRRGHH...ahem, cough -- excuse Hulk. However, Hulk very happy with smart haircut, especially Hulk frosted tips.
Coming soon, Summer 2003... "THE JOLLY GREEN GIANT: THE MOVIE!" by NeofromtheMatrix	Nov 10th, 2002 10:59:02 AM
All he needs now is a green, leafy leotard and a mountain of green peas.
Anybody think that the Hulk kind of looks like Mask-wearing Dura by EL Duderino	Nov 10th, 2002 11:23:19 AM
I swear to god, it's the exact same face. And though it's a little awkward, I can see why it was decided upon that the Hulk wouldn't wear pants. Let's hope that Ang Lee can pull this off, despite all the bad word that's come from production. Eitherway, I cannot see Hulk doing anywhere near Spiderman business, but maybe Minority Report or greater.
Looks...ugly by KONG33	Nov 10th, 2002 11:28:49 AM
The dred-like hair is really just because it's something easier to animate, isn't it? It seems very strange-looking, not like how I thought, more realistic, but ...creepy/wrong. Making Hulk look like Banner is a bad idea.
I found the purple pants... by DrDestructo	Nov 10th, 2002 11:36:59 AM
Check out the pics on the same page entitled "hulksheet" - looks like photos of pages from the Hulk marketing kit. Hulk is clearly depicted with purple pants! The doll is probably just an early production mockup with some parts (pants, left leg) not ready yet. I'm guessing the pants will be cloth.
He doesn't have any chest hair by KONG33	Nov 10th, 2002 11:38:24 AM
Did HULK SHAVE? Is he a magazine cover model now? hehe. Jus' kiddin'
Oh, I see.....The big secret is that he looks like a heavy Eric by mrzsasz	Nov 10th, 2002 11:44:29 AM
Yes. Very unique. It still looks like the Peter David era Hulk. This movie will have nothing to do with the Kirby/Lee concept. It's obvious Ang and Company only found Peter David's tripe interesting. Too bad. If we're lucky, we'll see a few variations - Grey and angry. Green and savage....but still, it really isn't even that interesting for a film, and this is coming from someone who owns every issue up til 1995.
"CTHD was da bomb, yo?" by Three Quarks	Nov 10th, 2002 12:01:26 PM
Asian people sit around, somberly talking about a sword. Then there's an action sequence where they fly around on wires. Then they sit around, somberly talking about a sword. Then they fly around on wires. Then they sit around, somberly talking about a sword. Then, they fly around on wires. Then they sit around, somberly talking about a sword. Then they fly around on wires. Don't get me wrong. I loved "The Ice Storm," which apparently only myself and four other people actually saw. But CTHD was not, nor should it ever be called, "da bomb." Yo. Oh, and I thought the Hulk's face was supposed to be based on Eric Bana's. Looks more like my dad when he's pissed.
This naked Hulk business ain't working! by Horus	Nov 10th, 2002 12:52:28 PM
Having the hulk naked sounded fine in theory ...but even getting this glimpse of how things are gonna look ...makes me suspect it's not working !The designs fine..he looks like most early comic versions..but ...there's something wayyy too silly and distracting about it.His tight buns are comical...out of all proportion.And is this oing to be one of those films where they decide the character should be naked{lifeforce springs to mind} then get all shy and start hiding his privates behind carefully placed forground objects ..like some sort of big green austin Powers intro scene.Besides his purple pants are a big part of his character , reducing them to a ragged loin cloth would be much logical.
You see guys like that at any College football game by Son Of Batboy	Nov 10th, 2002 12:56:13 PM
Just paint a number on his chest, give him a giant foam number one hand and a beer helmet and he's ready to go.
There was no character called durant in "the mask" by Virgil Sollozzo	Nov 10th, 2002 12:56:44 PM
robert g. durant was the crimelord villain of Darkman, Dorian was the name of the villain in the mask.
H Hogan and anal sex by GonGon	Nov 10th, 2002 01:45:29 PM

I think the sequel should be called Green Hulks And Ham with Hul by Chaffro	Nov 10th, 2002 02:15:16 PM
"And Hulk, he say smash, and he smash up a lot, but brother, the worst thing, he smash up the plot."
Yeah, but it is a toy, remember... by Monkey Lover	Nov 10th, 2002 03:30:46 PM
Although they claim it's a good likeness, it probably won't be. The only movie toys that look like the actual characters from the film are the Toy Story toys, and it'd take a monumental idiot to fuck those toys up. So I am sure the CGI Hulk will look more impressive than this, and may even have a cock.
HOLY BALL! by Master T-MACK	Nov 10th, 2002 04:30:25 PM
It looks like they blurred the Hilks, ahem, penis. And he it appears he has only one testicle! Tom Green must be happy! If thats what the Hulk'll look like, good, but give him su=ome purple pants. ANG LEE CROUCHING TIGER ROCKED, BUT DON'T FUCKING MESS WITH THE HOLK FORMULA! You don't want American children to turn, ahem, homsexual do you? If this movie blows, you're hearing from me Ang Lee. We thought you could pull a Raimi, but you've pulled a Schumacher
don't make me Ang Lee. You wouldn't like me when I'm Ang Lee. by Tall_Boy	Nov 10th, 2002 04:41:59 PM
c'mon, somebody had to say it!
a civil talkback? by MeatCleaverMojo	Nov 10th, 2002 04:42:51 PM
i just get more confused daily. i don't think i'm alone in that i'm really worried about this hulk movie. i have faith in ang lee, and, unlike three quarks, i recognize CTHD was a great movie(but you are entitled to your opinion quarks) but there's some stuff i've heard about this that really worries me. yet, no one is bitching about this movie. the most we're worried about is the whereabouts of the hulk's penis???? ok, i'm game. i'm putting my movie about the murder of all talkbackers on hold for now. you've reinstilled my faith in movie geeks. i now see you can debate about a comic book movie in a civilized manner....as long as ben affleck isn't in it. so like the rest of you i will be there opening weekend hoping the hulk movie isn't a waste of my hard earned money. i'm starting to love you guys again instead of hating you all with a purple passion. i love you dearly, not queerly.
The Hulk looks like that lame bad guy at the end of The MASK. by Scottish Neil	Nov 10th, 2002 04:52:21 PM
whats with that ?
The Hulk!! WTF?! Okay, who among us is willing to admit to readi by SHIVA	Nov 10th, 2002 05:10:51 PM
Shit, this and Blade get made and Watchmen and Rising Stars get stuck in development hell. Way to go Hollywood. Here, this line of coke is on me.
CGI by Barron34	Nov 10th, 2002 05:13:41 PM

MeatCleaverMojo - you should make the movie anyway... by Monkey Lover	Nov 10th, 2002 06:07:57 PM
It would be good to see many internet geeks destroyed. They are the most worthy people of destruction, other than bastards like Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Maybe your movie could open with them being killed first, and then dead talkbackers for the rest of the movie. Bitching.
A little too ripple-y to me by MyNameDoesn'tFit	Nov 10th, 2002 06:38:41 PM
Looks a bit like a green rotting pumpkin. Head looks okay, though. Oh, and "The Hulk toys" = "Thy U.K. Hotels" and "The Hut's Yolk."
Nice azz... by Kwame	Nov 10th, 2002 06:41:12 PM
HA! You need to see a professional stripper to see a better one!!! LOL!!! KWAME out
Whew by Feudal Fetus	Nov 10th, 2002 09:07:41 PM
MeatCLeaverMojo is appeased. Thank god. I've been avoiding dark alleys and looking over my shoulder lately. Thank god for Hulk's penis. Or lack thereof.
ang wee by STRIDER355	Nov 10th, 2002 09:25:39 PM
i have yet to see an Ang Lee film that was bad. . .the ice storm, crouhing asian movie, sense and sensibility. . .the guy can do no wrong. And thats the only thing that keeps me interested in this.
Well.....at least it'll do better than Daredevil by axelfoley	Nov 10th, 2002 10:40:52 PM

HULK is #1 and Spidey #2 in my book by trankscuzzball	Nov 10th, 2002 10:57:19 PM
I grew up watching the live action and 1982 animated version HULK on TV. He was by far my favorite marvel character. The original 1970's HULK RAGE CAGE TOY was the best.
I loved "The Ice Storm" but thought "CTHD" was overrated and dul by Elgyn6655321	Nov 10th, 2002 11:14:56 PM
Just sayin`.
Is it just me, or is he wearing a thong? by Smurfette	Nov 11th, 2002 01:03:47 AM
And I thought the Daredevil outfit was homo-erotic.
The Blonde Hair Is Just A Prototype Issue by Cowblaster	Nov 11th, 2002 01:32:34 AM
Most likely so they can show how much detail they're putting into the hair. If you look at the advertising sheets on SuperHero Hype's page, or if you just think back to the teaser, you'll notice that they depict Hulk having dark green, almost black hair. And, no, they are not going to be releasing a naked Hulk toy. Obviously, he'll be released with cloth pants. These pics were taken to show what kind of detail and articulation was put into the sculpt. hiding the lower body behind cloth pants wouldn't really do a good job of that, now would it?
Hulk/Banner - schitzophrenia angle by KONG33	Nov 11th, 2002 09:00:00 AM
"Once he'd made his contact -- and it appeared he was going to be able to carry it through -- he became very calm and analytical about the situation he was in ... a period of relaxation ... until it came time for him to kill the victim ... he would become torn apart as to the correctness of his conduct ... he'd still have the overriding need to dispose of the victim, and, of course, once it was done, he would usually go into a state of panic. Suddenly it would seem as if the dominant, or formerly dominant ... the predominant, normal self came back into control in a horrifying way. Or one that is presented with ... conceived with panic and confusion ... Fear of being captured or discovered ... I would envision a continuation of this kind of collaboration ... between that one part of this person's self. Which demands certain gratification, and the more dominant, law-abiding, more ethical, rational, normal self -- which was sort of forced to become a party to this kind of conduct. Basically you might say there was a shared division of responsibility. This came as much from evolution as from conscious choice." - Ted Bundy, reminded me of the HULK.
That's what steroids will do for you by rev_skarekroe	Nov 11th, 2002 10:20:58 AM
Stay away from the drugs, kids. sk
At least they got the time period right by sofalord	Nov 11th, 2002 12:46:29 PM
Just eyeball those set shots of the gas station. Sign says "Regular 38.9" Cool. Them was the good old days. Either that or Ang Lee is being prophetic that that's what gas will cost in the near future after we go kick Iraq's sorry ass and take control of their oil fields. LOL
That ass is lustreplush! by chickenmonkey	Nov 11th, 2002 08:42:44 PM
But everything else looks really dykey. If you want to see some dolls that are anatomically incorrect in the other extreme, check out the "Billy" line of dolls. Like those old-timey G.I. Joes, but don't ask don't tell. Oh, and anyone who says "I love you dearly, not queerly" is SuperGayOsborne, and needs to come out of the closet and get into some chaps for a Hulk Hogan Hoedown. "That ain't brotherly love, brother!"
That Hulk's got an ass that won't quit by 007-11	Nov 11th, 2002 09:34:54 PM
This bodes well. I'd like to see this pants issue put to rest. Yo Ang! How's about some confirmation on whether or not we're gonna see some full frontal Hulk nudity. A huge angry green man with a lack of verbal skills is one thing, one that's misplaced his tattered purple pants is another.
Bashing the source material by Andel Crodo	Nov 12th, 2002 01:29:11 PM
First things first. If the Hulk has two right feet... does that mean he's a good dancer? - - - - - - - I did a little research on the nudity of the toy and it appears that it will come with removable cloth pants. Hakuna-Matata (it means no worries). - - - - - - - To the Hulk bashers (or should that be "smashers")... you're not going to be convinced on way or the other as to the validity of this character's popularity by casually popping into a chat forum on a movie website. If you think he's just a big green guy that breaks stuff when he stubs his toe, then you're right, boring character. Funny, in fact, how many of you same people hold the TV show in higher regard when it was far more guilty of that than the comic ever is/was. Bottom line, I find it sad how so many of you keep coming in here to dismiss the source material. Isn't there enough movie tripe to bash without having to dig any deeper? There is a familiar and readily identifiable subtext to draw from ALL superheroes... the Hulk is no different. And it runs far deeper than does an alien raised on a farm or a rich vigilante who has a really cool car.
i didn't know the movie came out already... by BronzeAdonis	Dec 2nd, 2002 01:29:10 AM
Knowing his style and his past movies, Ang Lee is going to make this film a deep and realistic story about anger, and that's the only way it's going to succeed, BY BEING AS CLOSE TO REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE...the idiots that want it to be a "hulk smash" comic book type story with the absorbing man or abomination, need to learn what makes a movie good: DEPTH. And for those crying about the cgi, i personally think it will destroy the competition simply because Ang Lee won't LET it look like Spider-Man. And if anybody thinks they can do a better job animating a movie that appleals to mass audiences and not only themselves, please step right up. Oh yea, the hulk is supposed to look scary and angry, not sweet and goodlooking. As for his dick swining around the screen(and that will probably appeal to some of you kids), why not WAIT UNTIL THE MOVIE COMES OUT to make all your well-informed comments?? then again, bashing a movie b4 it ever comes out is always fun right??
