In...Heh, can't say I'd have picked the Hulk either. Interestingly, the character in the comics was revamped years ago and is now pretty smart. But of course nowadays the comics only really exist to act as a jumpoff for the IPs to make money via the films....and hardly anyone who watches the films actually picks up the monthlies...so everyone will indeed run with the "Hulk is a dummy" version as portrayed in the films.<BR/><BR/>Poor move on Nortons part.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I never understood why they insisted on making Hulk dumb like he was in the 70s comics. Heaven forbid they base them on the ones being made <I>right now</I>, but I think that's more of a ramble for a comics blog :)paperghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008375028597908359noreply@blogger.com
