Yes, Hawk, they go through all of that but in a convoluted, unclear way that is understood by folks like us who have a prior knowledge of the comics and TV series. -Kp

Hawk: I appreciate your enthusiasm. However, I cannot imagine how referring in any way to any "film" made by talentless hack Mark Steven Johnson is a defense to your claim. 1st, he did not make the Hulk. 2nd, you misquote me above. What I stated was that a film should stand on its own. And I no of no filmmaker who thinks otherwise no matter WHAT the source material is. -Kp

As to your statement about not fans not being their focus is false.

Bullseye murders Elektra in a fight to determine the better killer. Taking revenge, Daredevil drops Bullseye from a clothesline high above a street. (Daredevil #181)

sounds like the film does it not? and again

Director Mark Steven Johnson showed interest in returning to direct with the Born Again storyline, for teh sequal.

fist of all this will take multiple posts due to the 500 character count. First i must state that the "creation" of the Hulk is explained multiple times though out the film but various character. The opening scene shows what happened. Then Mr. Bue, Gen. Ross, and Banner himself talk about gamma radiation which exists in Banners body (which cause him to become the Hulk). Gen. Ross explains that he was an experiment to create the perfect solider. . next post

Master: I respectfully disagree. As stated, I don't feel they clearly explain anything. If you're not already familiar w/the the old series, the film's scenes which copy the opening to explain Hulk's existence are confounding.

As for it "fitting well" w/the comics or being "focused...toward comic fans": I also disagree on those counts. A film should stand on its own, and, according to Marvel, comics fans are not their main audience (since that audience is shrinking regularly).

The super hero serum put into Emil Blonsky, Tim Roth's character, was the same serum used on captain America in WWII which is also explained in the movie. It was a very complex movie and it takes more than one viewing to understand everything. The movie also did very well at showing that Bruce Banner did not want to be the hulk and could not control his powers. This fit well with the comics Bruce Banner did not have control of his powers for the majority of series.

Dude the movie was only a starting point for a sequel and fit almost perfect with the storyline they are working toward. The movie was focused more toward the comic book fans. the movie wasn't full of action like iron man, there was a lot more details in the hulk.  It explained extremely well how the hulk was created by gamma rays.
