Having everyone know Banner is The Hulk


No secrecy like the early comics, TV series, 66 cartoon and 82 cartoon, it's bit of a stretch to have people not know since Banner can't control his transformations and this being the world of smartphones, Facebook and Twitter.

Every Hulk adaptation since the 96 cartoon has ignored the whole secrecy part and have everybody know which adds more drama and problems for Bruce Banner.

reply

The secrecy in the TV series was laughable at times since nobody sees him transform right in front of them and can't put two and two together.

reply

Unlike the comics Betty, the military etc know he's The Hulk right from the beginning not Rick Jones telling Ross his secret after thinking he's dead.

reply

Sets the character and the movie from other comic book movies that everyone is fully aware of the hero's double identity.

You would be surprised how few people had smartphones in 2003. Facebook and twitter weren't that popular yet either.
