[The Incredible Hulk]

[(Anonymous)]

He will always be Doctor David Bruce Banner, yes.

According to interviews given by Stan Lee, they were not allowed to call him Bruce Banner and had to change it because "Bruce sounded gay."

[(Anonymous)]

This is really funny to me, and I don't know why. Do you have links to those interviews?

[(Anonymous)]

That part confused me greatly when Bana!Hulk came out, because Nick Nolte's name was David Banner, and I thought they were supposed to be the same guy while Bruce was the Hulk proper from the comics. My father had to extrapolate to great lengths and then we got to argue about it again when Norton and Ruffalo came around.

[(Anonymous)]

I heard they had to change it because the actor thought it was "too comic-booky". Hang on. Wikipedia says...

Johnson changed the name of the Hulk's comic book alter ego, Dr. Bruce Banner, to Dr. David Banner for the TV series. This change was made, according to Johnson, because he did not want the series to be perceived as a comic book series, so he wanted to change what he felt was a staple of comic books, and Stan Lee's comics in particular, that major characters frequently had alliterative names.[9] According to Lou Ferrigno, it was also changed because CBS thought the name Bruce sounded "too gay-ish," a rationale that Ferrigno thought was "the most absurd, ridiculous thing I'd ever heard."[10] On the DVD commentary of the pilot, Johnson says that it was a way to honor his son David. "Bruce" ultimately became the TV Banner's middle name, as it had been in the comics. It is visible on Banner's tombstone at the end of the pilot movie, and that footage is shown at the beginning of every episode of the series.

I *remember* that tombstone shot! I always loved it because the guy who played David Banner was soooo good at projecting Dr. Banner's utter aloneness and lonliness. And also because it was right before that cool split screen of the Hulk and David Banner while the voiceover grimly tells us about the "raging spirit that dwells within him."

[(Anonymous)]

I am rather confused as to why anyone would think 'Bruce' was a gay-sounding name.

[(Anonymous)]

Me, too, Anon!

[(Anonymous)]

I don't agree with this sentiment all the time, but sometimes the nostalgia just hits me and I think NO BANNER SHALL EVER COMPARE. :)

[(Anonymous)]

I crushed so hard on that man.

[tabaqui]

YES. Omg. He was so awesome and sad and sexy and wonderful.
:)

[wldcatsprstr_14]

Word.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Definitely my favorite version of the character, too. And I love Jack McGee.

Oh, how I wish I could get an actual fandom going...!

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I loved Jack, too.

OT like Whoa

[otakugal15]

......I never watched this show but...playing SWTOR....he looks like a younger Darmas Pollaran......

>_>;;;

[(Anonymous)]

And oh, the wonderfully sad music. He always really projected the loneliness for me.

[(Anonymous)]

... I adore the movieverse Banner, actually. But this show occupies a childhood happy place in my head, shared alongside things like Kolchak the Night Stalker, and The A-team, and The Champions, and the 60s TV version of The Fugitive. (Later I went back and found The Magician because of Bixby).

Basically, I cannot see Bill Bixby without getting a ping right in the happy place.

[(Anonymous)]

Me too OP, bless him.

[(Anonymous)]

So sad that Bill Bixby died so young, and he'd had a good career. I used to love My Favourite Martian as well. He was a lovely actor.

Oh and the music, so perfect.
