The Incredible Hulk (upcoming animated series)/Tropes


 * Author's Saving Throw: After Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. received criticism for cutting off the Darker and Edgier Jekyll & Hyde aspects of the character, this series brings them back in full force.
 * Adapted Out: Banner's backstory of having Abuse Parent was cutted off, as the writers felt more confortable by treating the Hulk as a werewolf-like story than having him explicity suffer with Dissociative Identity Disorder, due to their small knowledge of the disorder, througth they choose to leave it ambigous instead lf outright deleting it enterily so the idea of him having DID can be read without explicity including it.
 * Both Sides Have a Point: Bruce may have a point in that the Hulk is dangerous and has caused countless destruction, but Betty is also right to point out thst the Hulk is oretty much a child who dosen't know what he does is wrong or how to express his anger, and that Bruce dosen't make an attempt to reason with him inside their subconscious, as well as that by curing himself Banner would kill the Hulk.
