Very Cool: Lou Ferrigno Is The Voice Of The Incredible Hulk!

yeah, i'm with you, daniel. batman is excellent, but if not for a handful of dc characters (and that number is not alot, trust me), i wouldn't even care for dc.

Ok, that's it, no more trailers! I've just read 4 reviews of The Incredible Hulk and all of them said the same thing....IT WAS FRACKIN AWESOME!!! Of course, the real review comes when Vic, Niall or other Screen Rant reps post, but this is really good news. Also, again, stay till the very end.

Are you just assuming that I'm not a Marvel fan because I like Batman? Batman is my all time fave character, but I don't like much else about DC. Batman is closely followed by X-men, Iron Man, Thor, and Spider-man.

Perhaps it's b/c when Batman becomes fun, you realize how stupid he is - guy in tights, fighting crime w/ a boy by his side.

Only when you take him dead seriously is he cool.

Hulk is a bit different- you need to take a Giant Green Rampaging Man with a grain of salt.

Have a little imagination. Suspend a little disbelief. If it's any consolation, Daniel, there are many, many people out there who don't have overdeveloped imaginations like us Marvel fans!

and what was wrong with the 60s batman? by 60s i think you are referring to the one with adam west and burt ward? honestly, i liked that show, and wish they would put it back on weekdays at the same bat-time (5pm), and the same bat channel (now, CW). Holy Flashback.

I disagree Quicksilver. I'm a huge Diehard fan of Batman and nothing like this in a Batman film or cartoon would get me extra excited and beleive me i'm a huge fan I read all the Bat book, scene all the cartoons, movies and even the god awful 60's TV show. Oh well to each his own I guess.

honestly, i thought the entire ff 2 movie smelled like under arms. i am deeply disappointed in that movie. it was too childish for me, and less serious.

by the way, i think i understand why so many fans disliked spidey 3. not only were there too many super villains (sandman and venom), but the movie concentrated too much on spidey's love life. hey believe me, i know you need to have a character's personal-human-side-issues combined with his or her superhuman issues to make for a good story, but when you have too much of one, it tends stink up the read or the film.

sorry guys, i didn't mean to head somewhere else, but i just had to mention it.

I must say, Vic, that was well, said. i, too, enjoy it when stan "the man" lee, the man who made spiderman, the x-men, etc, has cameos in the films of his characters. By the way, i just saw spidey 3 yet again, and i still get a kick out of the scene where peter is looking at the jumbo tron down in Times Square, and stan just shows up out of no where and says something like...ONE MAN CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

but, DANIEL, it's just that, it has nothing to do with the movie itself. just a little fun for the fans. basically you are saying it is not necessary bcause it doesn't add (neither, does it take away from the movie) to the movie. but until you are able to understand what THE FUN is, in the whole thing of having lou as the hulk's voice, then you won't understand. this why you have to be a die-hard or true fan of the franchise to know what we are talking about.

(No offense to the Hulk, of course.) ;)

(And I'm sorry Daniel. That was a cheap shot. I'm out.)

Way to insult me. Didn't we just go through this entire thing? Most people on these boards manage to keep it civil.

I was not going to say a thing, but if you guys are going to start knocking Stan Lee's cameos then you better b.t.f.u.

Yeah, Todd McFarlane's spiders on the covers of spider man, and Al Hirschfeld's signature "AH" in all of his caricatures add nothing to the work.

It's called a "knowing nod". If you're not in the know, simply say "I don't get it", keep walking & don't nod back.

Daniel (paraphrased): 'Why puny fans get excited over Lou Ferrigno? Daniel no understand!'

Perhaps you and the Hulk have FAR more in common than you give yourself credit for.

Yea I watched The Batman (sadly) It wasn't half as good as BATS or Justice League, but it looks a million times better than the new crap their working on Batman The Brave and the Bold.

Stans Comeos are ok sometimes, but other times they can be annoying. Take his SM3 appearance. It was distracting and very lame even for a common Stan Cameo. I did enjoy the FF Silver Surfer Cameo it was humorous.

Well Daniel it sounds like you're more of a pragmatist than the rest of us. Big time fans thrive on little details like that. Funny that you mentioned Adam West... in the recent cartoon incarnation called "The Batman" he provided the voice of Commissioner Gordon and I got a big kick out of that. :-)

Related is the fact that Stan Lee does a cameo in every Marvel film, it's not necessary, it doesn't make the movie "better," but it's fun and a tribute to the creator of the characters.

Vic

I liked I'm gonna go ahead and reply since it seems like everything will be civil now.

I know the reason behind it quick silver and I know the reason a lot of you are excited I just don't understand why people react this way to things like this. I'm a huge Batman fan, but if they came out with a new animated TV show Voiced by Adam West or Keaton I wouldn't care. All I care about is what it does to actually improve the quality of the film. I've never been big on the little nods to the film. Sort of like the Cap shield in Iron man it made no sense and did nothing for the movie.

I'm not upset by this news or anything I just think people are way overly excited about it. I think Lou is a really nice guy who has a sense of humor. I love the way he made fun of him self in King of Queens it was always funny. However, to actually sound even remotely intimidating or scary they will have to do a lot to his voice I imagine. Givin that he has a terrible lisp and is not remotely scary when he opens his mouth.

That's all that I'm expressing here just that I'll never understand why people care so much about the little nods that don't change the film at all. The Hulk voice will be interchangeable and anyone could have done it. They may even end up not bringing in someone who possibly could have done a better voice just so they can give the nod.

Daniel, to me you are probably not a fan of the hulk. your posts seem to imply more about the movie being great, while minusing the fan's interest. as a fan of the hulk, who has seen many many many times the episodes of the hulk tv series starring bill bixby, it means alot to us for lou to be the hulk's voice. the film looks like it will be a true blockbuster hit (i'm hoping for it). with that said, i don't think that the makers of this hulk movie could do anymore to make it better, in the sense of adding to the action, drama , or plot of the movie itself. therefore, they simply added a cherry on top of what seems to be a smash hit, by having the original actor who played the hulk for us all when we were kids, play his voice. i love it, and i think we all love it. i am and still am a true fan of the original transformers cartoon which aired in 1983 or 4. and like Kahless, i loved it when they got peter cullen to be the voice of optimus prime once again. though casting cullen to play optimus again had nothing to do with the plot of the story, for we fans of transformers, it was a sweet cherry on top of the cake (the transformers movie).

Daniel, it has nothing to do with the plot, or storyline, but simply a way to saying to the fans, "thanks for your support over the years."

I've moved on, and got tickets for a Hulk preview! Woo woo!

Fine with me I have no problem ending it. I'm just the type of person that reacts I don't take insults very well I always have a problem with responding. Though even when I respond I try to avoid insults as much as possible to make sure that everyone know I didn't start it.

I'm sorry if anyone was offended by my opinion or use of the word MEH and I will even go ahead and just leave the conversation so if Djo continues to insult me I will miss it and be unable to respond.

I apologize to you Vic for letting it go on this long

Djo,

Drop the fascination with both these words or you'll be asked to leave the conversation: Meh & Whiney.

And Daniel, methinks that he's continuing to yank your chain because you keep reacting.

I pride myself on keeping this one of the more civil forums online so let's just shake hands and move on, shall we?

Vic

You're a genius and deserve the Nobel Prize.

Back to work. Later!

The was possibly the dumbest thing I have seen in months on a public forum. It's just a word calm the hell down. I care about plenty of other things in the world sorry if Lou voicing the Hulk isn't that important to me, but that doesn't mean that all I care about is me.

Guess what else does not contribute to a conversation. Laching on to one word and bashing people for using it. Calling people whiny or any other personal insult. Look in the mirror at your self before you jump on others. You were incapable of having a polite conversation with simply because you hate one word.

Tell me are there things in life you don't care about? Are there things in life that are unimportant to you? That's all MEH means. It's saying that this subject really isn't that important to me just this one singular subject. This has nothing to do with being selfish or America or any of that BS. It's a word. Please grow up.

I am starting my own Personal war against the word THAT. I thing it's a horrible word and from now on anytime some one uses it I will latch on to them and begins personally attacking them. The word is destroying society as we know it. This is simply a way of referring to something with out giving it the proper respect it needs.

Let's make the Hulk happen. Any way we can.

Cuz if HE flops, we're all gonna be lining up to see Rush Hour 5 and the Mummy 6.

There is absolutely nothing to say that Super Hero Movies are not just another fad.

Last time I checked- keeping up the Hype was what kept these sites up and running.

And I'll say it- I love you guys to death and I mean it. But I am declaring a personal WAR against the phrase "MEH".

It 'does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to contribute to the quality' of any Conversation.

EVER.

I'm just tryin' to help some of you realize that you can communicate like actual confident human beings. And point out that the Internet does a fine job of masking the effects of negative attitudes on those you're communicating with.
Whether you all do it or not makes no difference. In the non-virtual world, the phrase 'MEH' is reflective of a larger, been-there-done that attitude, that contributes NOTHING to any conversation you will ever have. EVER.

Whether within business, friendships, or relationships (and yes, marriage), lukewarm or negative attitudes propagate one thing: indifference. I challenge any of you to challenge this fact.

So it's okay for us to be enthusiastic about Lou Ferrigno. You boasting that it doesn't matter to you does not matter for squat, b/c it tells us one thing: that nothing matters to you BUT YOU.

Addendum: *If America were the unconstested top nation in the world across the board, I'd have no problem & just say- "Do as you please." But being that we're fast sliding into the 4th or 5th place, and can no longer deny that vast stretches of our own nation resemble 3rd World countries (ex/ our inner cities & rust belts) , I think it's fair to say our country could use a Kick in the Pants.

So - look in the mirror. Say "MEH" to your own face. Tell me if that's becoming of a person who deserves to live their life Free and unobstructed, with the world at their feet. Then, straighten your back, turn your chin up, and tell me if perhaps that person in the mirror isn't just a bit more impressive.
Try saying "Meh" then. Doesn't quite FIT, does it??!!)
That's all folks! Enjoy the internet~! I'm getting some fresh air!

And PLEASE- if we enjoy good, imaginative movies, go see the HULK!
Just keep your popcorn outta my hair!

Please explain to me where I protested. I mearly expressed my disinterest and said that I didn't understand why people were making a huge deal. The only emotion I have even come close to expressing is annoyance I made no personal comments or insults to you, but you decided to be an ass anyway.

MEH Make Everything Happen.

That's all I could find on the internet.

But I think that pretty much says it all.

Love you guys-

For Real,
Djo.

What I did fit that definition in no way. I wasn't protesting in any way. I wasn't pissed that they got Lou just expressing how I thought people were overreacting that they did.

Oh and my wife would be pissed if I tried to get another girl drunk at a party with wine and since we don't have a couch just a futon I'm gonna pass on that one.

Oh! And before I forget:

WHINY
1. To utter a plaintive, high-pitched, protracted sound, as in pain, fear, supplication, or complaint.
2. To complain or protest in a childish fashion.

I'm jus' sayin' is all. ;)

MWAH.

Djo,
Daniel is correct in what he says, it does not improve the quality of the film. The only reason they got Lou is for the fans, and that's fine with me. Daniel gave his opinions and I wouldn't consider what he said as whining. We're all friends here and we all have our own opinions about movies.

Like I said- whatever your attitude is, my only hope for your sake, is that it impresses the girls. ;)

So at your next party, try pulling out the 'Wine' instead of the 'Whine'. The 'mwah' instead of the 'meh'. See if there's any notable difference.

In all seriousness, I love ya toots- and I HEART HULK ! ! !

Consider it done, my man. I'm just excited for the Movies!

Hmm I sure hope you look up whiny in the dictionary so you can learn what it means. I have not whined about one things I expressed my disinterest in a subject. That's what MEH means pay attention you might learn something.

Ok, lets tone it down folks. No personal attacks or comments are gonna start getting deleted.

Vic
