The Incredible Hulk: Why Bruce Banner's Name Was Changed For The Marvel Series

Comments

1. Ashen Ronin: I was surprised they didn't mention that this name change likely had something to do with the show's creative team wanting to avoid comparisons to the '70s Hulk TV series' more
2. Mirage Talon: what's the point of changing Bruce's name if they're still stuck with the Hulk?
3. Fathom Cipher: seems like a silly thing to change, but I guess they were trying to simplify the story for TV
4. Ember Jackal: that's weird they changed his name right when it was getting going. what was he supposed to be called again?
5. Elin: i remember watching reruns of that marcelled mess when i was a kid and my dad would roll his eyes at bruce's original surname - bennett wasn't exactly
6. Hex Raven: don't remember this being a thing, why'd they bother changing it anyway?
7. Nova: i never remembered that change going down, wonder what they were thinking giving him a whole new backstory like that
8. Bruno: thought this was common knowledge, guess not. anyone else remember when they dropped the 'Doctor' title for the TV show? 🙄
9. Ember Shard: never understood why they changed it - "David Banner" just doesn't have the same ring as Bruce
10. Selim: still don't see why they needed to change it from Dr. David Banner
11. Aidenellis: reminds me of those 70s TV crossovers - was always weird seeing big-name actors in these roles
12. Danebianchi: i'm still surprised they didn't just roll with banner after the show ran for so long already. seemed like an unnecessary change at the time
13. Mendezdiego: interesting that they changed his name but left the character design pretty much the same
