    Default A question about Trial of the Incredible Hulk.

    How come whenever David Banner whom had a beard in the movie when he Hulks out, how come the Hulk is clean shaven? is he some magical being or was it just a mistake?

    So, you have no problem with him turning into a giant green man with superhuman strength, but a disappearing beard is just right out for you?

    Now that I think about it, Banner has been shown with a couple of days messy beard yet clean shaven when Hulked out in the comics before. It's just that it isn't part of the Hulk look (facial hair),
    Although the Maestro had a beard of course.

    I fail to see how that answers his question or forwards the thread topic in any form. WHy is it people feel the need to belittle someone or make some other remark and then just leave a thread without addressing the question to begin with.

    Oh well, post count plus one for you right?

    Back to the original question I havent the slightest idea. Maybe could say all the muscle mass the hulk produces makes banners non hulk facial hair retract back into the skin or something, hell I dont know.

    Default hulk's beard

    This has something to do with what the Hulk represents.

    He is supposed to be youthful...childlike.

    A beard signifies growth, age, wisdom, and experience...those are all of the things that Banner has that The Hulk can not have.

    So, ok, maybe Hulk's physical form is defined by Banner's own mental imagery. Or, maybe it is just one of those things you are supposed to ignore.

    Pretty sure it was just Bill Bixby trying to make the Banner character seem completely down and out, which he was awesome at.

    Probably b/c it was funny.

    One might point out that the hulk retains none of banners physical triats, why would facial hair be an exception?

    that and his hair in the comics always gets smoother and shinier.

    meanwhile, you think if hulk wore some red boxers, nobody would recognize him? it'd be better than wearing glasses or a little piece of a mask only covering the area around your eyes but not anythign else.

    Did I call him stupid, or insult him, or do anything other than say that him losing a beard was no goofier than him growing green and strong?


    But then you wouldn't get to feel all self-righteous and up your own post count, would you?
