Incredible Hulk Quiz with Stewart Lee
Me:
Which popular mutant first appeared in...
Stewart Lee:
Wolverine! In issue 189 isn’t it?
Me:
It was 181.
SL:
Are you sure it isn’t 180? Because his hand appears in the final frame.
Me:
Oh, I think you're right... in which issue did the grey Hulk first appear?
SL:
I can’t remember actually – about 84?
Me:
No, it was issue 1!
SL:
Of course. I do that fucking joke myself in the show and I’ve forgotten it; he started off grey and the printing didn’t take so they changed it, yeah, yeah.
Me:
As well as limitless physical strength, resistance to most forms of injury and super-speed, name one of the weirder skills the Hulk has.
SL:
He can clap really loudly. And make a sonic wave. From clapping.
Me:
I’ve got that he can see astral forms and is unaffected by alcohol.
SL:
I bet there’s been one where he’s got drunk.
Me:
Which is the best Hulk film of recent times?
SL:
The last one I couldn’t get more than ten minutes into it. The editing was so bad it was unwatchable. I couldn’t stand it, it was shit. There were bits of the Ang Lee one that were absolutely beautiful – the bits in the desert when he was jumping around and it would cut to these close ups of moss and lichen. Basically they gave an art film director the job of directing The Hulk and then complained when he delivered an arty film and then lost their nerve. They got Iron Man and the first couple of Spider-Man films totally right; it makes you wonder why they made such a mess of Daredevil and did it like a fucking goth band video.
