Looper and the Incredible Missed Opportunities with the Hulk Franchise

Looper hits all the major points as to why there won't be third Hulk solo movie any time soon - if ever. The Incredible Hulk remains one of my all-time favorite comic book characters. In the late 1980's, when I "grew out" of comic books (I would make a triumphant return as a regular reader within a few years) John Byrne's outstanding run on The Incredible Hulk allowed the comic to be the last one I would continue to read after ceasing with the other titles in the Marvel and D.C. line.

The Hulk truly is an outstanding character, but he is a character that needs a supporting cast to help with the narrative. In the wonder Incredible Hulk TV series, all the human drama and emotion came from Bill Bixby's endearing portrait of the drifting scientist.

Looper also is not afraid to mention the first Hulk film -- truth be told -- killed the franchise before it started.

What a shame considering there are so many outstanding Hulk stories to craft into....maybe an adult animated television series?

Or perhaps we should all be thrilled and content with the animated adaptions they come forth from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
