Hulk's "MCU Canon" Origin-Movie was ... Not an Origin-Story so much as a 'Crucial #Episode' | joining 'the conversation' with @Philosexyful @Looper @CBR @mARVELsTUDIOS @MarvelsContent @TorchD16 @Film_Cram @SmallYoutubersOrg @StackChristian @ComicBookCast3
I re-watched it, and ... I'm glad they did the--SPOILER WARNING
The word |Episode| is built on the proto-word *en "In" (evolving through ancient words that mean "Entrance, Coming in, Way Into ... see Exodus) + a prefix that means "in Addition (see |Epi-)" (the word originally meant "Commentary between Two Choric Songs in a Greek Tragedy" or "an Incidental Narrative or Digression within a Story or Poem etc." ...
(used to describe "Individual Broadcasts of Serial Radio Programs" in the 1930s (from there to Television Series, etc.))
on which are also-built #Episodes #Episodic #Episodical

| I didn't see Bixby or Colvin (were they still alive? are they now?), but Ferrigno did have a small part---the security-desk attendant that lets Banner back into Ross's lab |
I started out kind-of annoyed that 'they did the whole origin-story within the movie's opening credits.' But it did show the origin of his "heroism"---which is what I guess most heroes' stories are today ... I'm reminded of The Oracle's wisdom (in THE MATRIX or one of its sequels), 'You're not here to make the choice, but to understand why you made that choice.'
Throughout the film, I was moved to wonder ... several things ...
- why Edward Norton didn't come back to the part (as far as I know)
- whether The Hulk said "HULK SMASH!" in any of the other Hulk-appearances (I know it has been 'one of his sayings' since the comic-book days, but the only other time I remember hearing it in the movies is when Captain America said it in MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS)
- maybe this montage shows some more ... I don't know---he's doing a lot of 'smashing,' but does he say it? check & see ...
- I know this movie is "MCU Canon" because of Tony Stark's appearance in an end-scene (inviting General Ross to join 'The Avengers Initiative' (or something like it)), but ... couldn't the Eric Bana HULK also be 'Canon' (the same way there are multiple Gospel-books, but all about The Only-One Jesus Christ)?
- I mean---this one doesn't specify 'where The Hulk is' like Ang Lee's film does, and MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS totally skips General Ross & goes straight to Banner!...
