RED HULK
Since we're going to be seeing the RED HULK on screen soon in 'Captain America 4: Brave New World', I thought I'd do a quick post.
First off, if you've never read a Red Hulk comic and want to, I highly suggest skipping the Jeph Loeb issues and jump straight to the JEFF PARKER run; 'RED HULK: SCORCHED EARTH' tpb. While Loeb introduced the character, it was so silly it felt more like a parody... like something out of the old "WHAT THE--?!" series. Parker writes the character with a more serious tone and makes you believe Red Hulk is a manifestation of General Ross and not Woody Woodpecker. He explores the idea of what happens when Gen. Ross becomes what he's hated and hunted for decades - A HULK.
Plus, Parker's run starts with the kickass artwork of GABRIEL HARDMAN.
There's also the THUNDERBOLTS RED series (collected in a nice omnibus), which has Red Hulk on a government team alongside Elektra, Punisher, Deadpool and Agent Venom (Flash Thompson).
I haven't read this series,
so I can't speak for its quality.
Next, let's address the elephant in the roomL
THE LACK OF MUSTACHE ON HARRISON FORD AS GENERAL ROSS!
THE LACK OF MUSTACHE ON HARRISON FORD AS GENERAL ROSS!
Not only has it been established for a few movies now, the mustache is a signature look for the character (and 2 previous actors). It's like making a Wolverine movie where he's bald.
Yes, I saw the trailer where Ford says something akin to, "They told me I had to lose the mustache if I wanted to win the election." Bah. More like, "I'm Harrison Ford and I refuse to wear a mustache." Bah, I Say!
Moving on from the mustache to more important matters....
In the comic, when General Ross would Hulk-out, his mustache would disappear. This was in large part because for the first several issues, WHO Red Hulk was a mystery. I always thought Red Hulk would've looked cool with a BEARD; a) to differentiate the look from regular Hulk (uh, besides the RED skin), and b) I think he'd look sweet with a beard!
Here's a mock-up of Harrison Ford's Red Hulk w/beard:
ok, hold on... I need to do a quick mock-up of LOU FERIGNO as a BEARDED RED-HULK:
*giggle!*
