Reader Contributions V: The Incredible Hulk (Monster/Growth Transformation)

Makaio has written in to recommend posting the very first Hulk transformation from the Incredible Hulk series that ran back in the 70s. As Makaio vividly describes it, this "is by far the most elaborate hulk transformation as is usually the case for any 'first' TFs...what's nice about this hulk-out is it shows a fair amount of rippage, brow growth, DNA mutation, and a slower progression of David's face to the Hulk's...The [clothes] rippage is hot, but what I like the most about this sequence is the sound... [it's] the best element to this transformation, because it reveals more than what is seen. If you closed your eyes and listened to the audio, you'll hear that the clothes ripping sound is very continuous, even after most of the shirt has been prominently ripped up. This hints that rippage is occurring to the pants as well..."



 Makaio recommends the transformation  from the episode "747" as the show's second best TF scene. He writes: "From the point the TF is triggered with David's white eyes (1:26) to full-Hulk Lou Ferrigno (3:01) the transformation takes one minute and thirty-six seconds... I'm sure this was due to David Banner's futile efforts to control the transformation from happening so he could pilot the plane. Needless to say, the effort only served to allow the Hulk more time to flex his arms out of his sleeves, and feel the buttons pop off his chest. The Hulk always wins this battle in the end." You can see the clip here. Thanks very much Makaio!
