The Incredible Hulk (animation): Difference between revisions

* [[Adventure Towns]]

* [[All There in the Manual]]: Arguably, episode 1.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type II (Green Hulk), and Type III (Grey Hulk)

* [[Appropriated Appellation]]

* [[Crossover]]: In-universe with [[Fantastic Four (animation)|Fantastic Four]], [[Iron Man (animation)|Iron Man]], and to a minor extent, [[X-Men (animation)|X Men]]'s continuities. Meaning it's one bigass universe, like the [[DCAU]].

* [[Cursed with Awesome]]: As much as his Hulk condition has made Bruce's life a complete shambles as a fugitive, the only reason he survives his adventures is due to transforming into the Hulk in times of need.

* [[Darker and Edgier]]: VERY much so. As mentioned above, the 2nd season got less serious.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: This little gem:

* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: The Hulk ''hates'' being called Bruce. Though, it's justified in that they actually are separate entities inhabiting the same body. Unless your name is Betty, he doesn't seem to mind for some reason.

* [[Determinator]]: Hoo-boy. There's alot of determination in this show: Bruce is trying {{spoiler|to cure himself of the Hulk}}, General Ross and Talbot are {{spoiler|trying to kill the Hulk}}, Betty and Doc Samson are trying {{spoiler|to create the Nutrient Bath to separate Bruce from Hulk}}, Leader wants Hulk alive so he can possess his strength, and Gargoyle just [[I Just Want to Be Normal|wants to be normal]]. Some of the [[Motive Decay|determinations die off eventually]].

* [[The Dragon]]: [[Dumb Muscle|Abomination to Leader]], [[Number Two for Brains|Talbot to General Ross]], and [[Love Makes You Evil|Crusher Creel to Allure]].

* [[Dumb Is Good]]: Usually. Many of the times Hulk clashes with the cameo Superheroes is due to some misunderstanding.

* [[Gentle Giant]]: Try to get to know the Hulk before you piss him off.

** Grey Hulk isn't exactly gentle, but he's above killing [[Mooks]].

* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: The ''ENTIRE SHOW'' has this in the first season. Most of them are trying to reverse the effects of hulking out while someone, usually Talbot or another enemy, ''always'' has to fuck everything up to the point Bruce turns into the Hulk.

** The second season's series finale involved a S.H.I.E.L.D. double-agent trying to recover experimental organisms, but she was caught and merged with the creatures she was supposed to steal. This gave her the ability to possess other organisms as a result, and, on the plus side, healing them as well.

* [[Hulk Speak]]: The Trope Namer. Averted in Grey Hulk's case.

* [[I Am a Monster]]: In "Man to Man, Beast to Beast", Walter Langkowski turns into the Sasquatch permanently, and during his fight with the Hulk, he realizes he has harmed the child Hulk had befriended. {{spoiler|Realizing this, he decides to drift endlessly, believing he has become a monster}}.

* [[I Lied]]

* [[I Love Nuclear Power]]

* [[Marvel Universe]]: More like Marvel ''animated'' universe.

* [[Mr. Vice Guy]]: Grey Hulk.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Breaking It, Villain]]: General Ross played it straight... In season 1's finale he went mad to the point he {{spoiler|caused Bruce's heart attack and unintentionally knocked Rick Jones into the nutrient bath that was meant to re-merge Hulk and Bruce, turning Rick into a Hulk himself}}. This, in turn, led to the emergence of the original Grey Hulk.

** Glenn Talbot has this ''in spades''.

* [[Oh Crap]]: The usual reaction by the [[Mook|Mooks]] in each episode when they are chasing Banner, and he turns into the Hulk.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Maurice LaMarche plays [[Doctor Strange]] in this series while John Vernon plays him on ''The Amazing Spider-Man''. Likewise, Lisa Zane plays [[She Hulk]] in season 1 while [[Cree Summer]] plays her in Season 2. Lou Ferrigno briefly plays as the transforming Grey Hulk in season 1's finale, while Michael Donovan plays him when Grey Hulk makes a later appearance.
