HulkTv: S1E12 - The Waterfront Story
After a lukewarm episode involving an earthquake and averted nuclear meltdown (how? how was that episode so boring?), Banner joins Scully’s mom and Doogie Howser’s dad in a story of union corruption that features the Hulk in a barfight.
An interesting underlying theme of season one is Banner’s friendships with women, whether it’s for a day or several months, he’s a guy who just genuinely enjoys the company of women, is capable of being emotionally supportive, and encourages them professionally and as independent people (even when they turn out to be the villain).
I’ve already joked with @thassalia that if I were the essay writing type I’d already be drafting one on the remixed masculinity of Bixby's Banner (And Ferrigno's Hulk) "Free To Be My Monster and Me".
But I’m pants at meta--after a couple paragraphs it morphs into fic.
