I've always liked The Hulk, because I think that he's a character everybody can relate to. Many-a-times while reading Incredible Hulk comics I thought about the rage monster inside of every one of us that's barely contained and ready to burst out at a moment's notice.
Then I have to wonder what it would take to push me over the edge and unleash the beast.
Watching FOX "News" and their near-continuous stream of exaggerations, half-truths, and outright lies to push their agenda would come close. Not so much because they do it... they're hardly unique amongst news organizations for that... it's more because they claim to be "fair and balanced" when clearly they're full of shit...
I mean, WTF?!?
Hulk not mad. Hulk confused...
A fucking COMEDY CHANNEL is having to fact-check one of the most popular news organizations on the planet?
Something has gone very, very wrong. And that makes Hulk angry...
And you won't like Hulk when he's angry.
UNLESS... you are watching The Avengers movie, which opens nation-wide on Friday! I mean, seriously, with the exception of a few douchebags writing negative reviews so they can get some attention, everybody is LOVING this film!
If only DC Comics could get their shit together. Because, with the exception of an awesome-looking finale to the Batman trilogy with the upcoming Dark Knight Rises, they got nuthin'. To think that they could have built on the success of Batman and unleashed amazing Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Flash films... culminating in a frickin' JUSTICE LEAGUE movie... well, it's almost heartbreaking. Green Lantern was lame, and what little I've seen of Man of Steel is looking awful.
Oh well. Between Marvel Comics movies and FOX "News" I guess we've got enough popular fiction to keep us occupied for a while.

You’ll enjoy it 🙂
Our local AMC theaters are starting at 11:30am today and are going to show all the movies leading up to The Avengers. They are starting with Iron Man, then The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor in 3D, and Captain America in 3D culminating in The Avengers in 3D at midnight! They are also giving a spiffy pair of themed 3D glasses to watch with, and you get all this for $40! Damn pay day for coming on Friday, and not today!
I think Hulk would like that!
Can we just start calling it Fux news? I hate that channel. Buncha fucksticks…
Yeah, like a Republican candidate wouldn’t be doing the EXACT same thing. In fact, they probably would talk about nothing else.
Hmm, Hulk has almost always been among my least favorite characters. I see where you’re coming from, but rage rage rage gets boring as a reader. And to be sure, the status of the Hulk when were were teens — rage rage rage + baby talk — was even less attractive to me as a reader. Very one note.
I enjoyed much of the Peter David era, with a more intelligent (but still angry) Hulk, although Peter also tended to reach more for jokes and sacrifice the story at the time.
Going to Avengers at 7 tomorrow night!
