The Incredible Hulk 1996 TV Series "Doomed" Review

 


Marvel fans believe it or not but it's been a whopping two years since I last spoke about an episode of this show. Well i've chosen an episode that would been more relevant to do back in August of this year but I just couldn't be bothered to do it then and well with the character of She-Hulk more popular now then it's ever really been I thought that now was the absolute right time to review the episode that introduced the character to alot of nineties kids and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces us to a legendary comic book character with the episode in question being called simply just "Doomed" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Hulk is in Washington DC he finds himself the target of Doctor Doom and it's up to his cousin Jennifer Walters to help him out before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes not only doing a good job of making Doctor Doom seem like a genuine threat but at also introducing us to Jennifer Walters and being a genuinely entertaining plotline as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Neal McDonough as Bruce Banner , Lou Ferrigno as The Hulk and Lisa Zane as Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk. Also starring in this episode is John Vernon as General Ross , Simon Templeman as Doctor Doom , Castlevania star Matt Frewer as The Leader and voice acting legend , Star Wars legend and Batman: The Animated Series legend the one and only Mark Hamill as Yuri Topolov / Gargoyle.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really shouldn't be all that surprising given who is starring in this episode and it really does help that all of this films cast members are a bunch of some really talented actors and actress as well.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Saerom Animation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with all of the characters having some nice movements to them and there was no animation errors that I could see and while there are other shows from around this time period that had much better animation this episodes animation was also a pleasure to look at as well.


As I said at the start of this review this episodes features the debut of Jennifer Walters and while her origin in this episode is changed. This episode does remove alot of the struggle and heartache that Bruce goes through since in the comic book Bruce knows that he gave Jennifer even a small dose of his blood then she would ultimately get her very own Hulk powers and in this episode there's no internal struggle he just does it which was something that I really didn't like since Bruce as a character should always be weary of giving someone else there very own Hulk powers but at least this version of the origin was alot better then the one that we got in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.

This version of Jennifer Walters does seem like a very well written character I say that because i've not seen any of her episodes from this show in quite literally decades. However just based of this one episode she does show alot of promise as a character since she is a character who does come across as being a bit of a hot head and who has self esteem issues and those are things that she does have to overcome and that really does make her seem like a very well written character and as such I can see why she became a very popular characters thanks to her appearing in this show so much so that the show changed it's name for it's second season to The Incredible Hulk And She-Hulk. 


I really did like how this episode portrayed Doctor Doom since in this episode he's portrayed as someone who is the smartest person in any room he's in. With the character even being very well spoken all of which oddly make the character all the more terrifying since this man really does know how to get people to do what he wants even to the point where he manages to convince The Hulk to go on a rampage just because of the fact that The Hulk doesn't want him to hurt or even kill his cousin because that's just how scary Doctor Doom is in this episode as well as being a very good example of just how creepy and scary that this kind of character could be when there done really well like in this episode for example.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and forty nine seconds. Which was a tad bit on the short side for my liking simply because of the fact that you could have gotten a lot longer running time out of this story which would have allowed you to delve into the characters a bit more which would have helped thew episode a bit more and it would have made the threat of this episode seem alot more epic and bigger in scale but as it is the episode just seems a bit rushed.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having some truly good action set pieces all of which where really exciting and all of which are really well animated in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really fun episode and out of the three episodes of this show that i've seen this one is quite easily the best one since this episode gives you everything that you'd expect to see in a Hulk story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episodereally does erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Hulk fandom wiki page , the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being the official Hulk fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Hulk fandom wiki page actually has a wide variety of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on the official Hulk fandom wiki page right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on the official Hulk fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
