^I was gonna post the interview but I can't find it....

INCREDIBLE HULKS #622
Written by Greg Pak
Penciled by Paul Pelletier
Cover by Carlo pagulayan
In the horrific tragedy of life sweepstakes, the Hulk has won the jackpot, time and time again. But now he's finally had enough. Don't miss the shocking climax of GOD SMASH as the Incredible Hulk breaks the most fundamental law set by the gods before mortals -- by demanding a reckoning from the most formidable Allfather of them all!
32 PGS./Rated A …$2.99

He already gave Hulk a mystical connection with Gaea: He was the last giant spawned of the Earth or something blessed by Gaea to fight the Gods. His attempt at explaining why he fights Gods I guess. ermm

Haha, so we're exactly does the "And I woke up" part fall into your theory that this was part of the conversation with the dude?

The order:
Dude: I definitely won't be bothering you again.
*Like 6 pages pass*
Banner: Yeah, right.
Banner: And then I woke up.

I can't believe you're arguing that Banner's statement was in reply to that conversation. Said comment was even placed in the same panel as Thor's defeat.

Obscure interview? Lulz. Whatever makes you feel better I suppose.

The writer outright agreed with my reasoning and this wasn't some personal email, this was a legit CBR interview that came out the day or so after the comic. At that point people we're still trying to figure out if it was cannon or not. The hate mail started when he registered on message boards,.

What happened happened and it can't be undone. It brought Thor's stock down. I'll have to live with it, but on a forum such as this, where these little details matter? Best believe I'll bring them to light.

Sorry my green little italian.

A CBR interview that agreed with your reasoning. Forgive me if I don't take that for what you think it's worth. I'll stick to what the comic actually showed. I guess the writer and artist just made a mistake after the fact. dur

At the diner, Banner asks "The Hulk fought Thor?" And the dude from the diner replies "...But you won in the end..." Oops, must have been a mistake. 131

I guess the artist and writer meant Hulk didn't win. Or we shouldn't believe the dialogue.

And yes, Banner's dialogue was a carry over from the convo with the dude in the diner. His dialogue never directly narrated any part of the fight. And it transfers smoothly from his convo with the dude from the diner as a lead in to the diner scene again.

When Marvel retcons the issue, I'll agree. Until then, "What happened happened and it can't be undone. It brought Thor's stock down." and "Thor's defeat." are the most accurate items of your post. 😂

Stop hitting yourself. "Thy" Stop hitting yourself. "Gurgle" Stop hitting yourself. "Ack" Stop hitting yourself. durhulk

I'm wondering if I should let this be known or have more fun.

mmm

mhmm

I guess I'll play nice...though it goes against my nature and grates my soul. grumpy

Spoiler:
Hulk never fought at Mount Rushmore. The story isn't canon and Jesse Blaze Snider isn't a full time Marvel writer. He's also an avid Hulk fan. And Hulk is Dee Snider's (his dad) favorite hero.

I now feel a part of me has died. durhulk

isn't dee snider the singer of Twisted Sister?

Yes. His son was the writer for the story Rage and I are bantering about.

yeah I know the book that all this is about. So it's a non cannon fight?

I guess if it was the son of one of the Manowar that wrote the story, Thor would have won...😂

Desperate much? vin

facepalm

You and me were having a discussion in another thread. You said we were getting off topic. So I replied here and posted the link for this thread in the original thread.

How does that make me desperate? I was just simply finishing our discussion.

We have two conflicting interpretations. Both have the potential to be the right one (I don't think yours does but I'm being nice). The writer came out and confirmed that my interpretation was the correct of the two. What is there to debate?

There was no mistake. There doesn't have to be any type of error in the comic for his interpretation to agree with mine. What are you having trouble processing?

I won't argue this point because like Jess said, this was a Hulk book and he had to come out looking better. This doesn't mean what we saw is actually what happened. Maybe the Hulk did win. He could have stunned Thor and jumped away etc. Many possibilities. Banner's statement was left specifically as an out for Thor fans and so on as pointed out by Jess.

I already addressed this.

My post is spot on. Sure on a battle board we can argue the little points and so on that shines new light on the book, but to the average comic book fan, Thor was finally defeated for the first time by the Hulk. At least temporarily.

The story is in semi continuity. I.e. it counts. It happened in a way that doesn't effect modern continuity but still takes place in the 616 Universe. I also knew about the dad being a Hulk fan. IIRC, he stated he was extremely happy giving his dad his first published comic to his dad.

But now that fun is gone. 🙁

I'll find something else, mark my words. sneer

I wouldn't count it as cannon unless there's at least a follow up story or it's incorporated into a mainstream Hulk/Marvel title.

Say what you want about me. But you shut your Asgardian kissing face hole when talking about Dee Snider! durhulk

oh yeah

concerning the hulk vs avengers then thor fight where hulk used the adamantium statue, the block underneath was some material other than adamanium.

i have the issue where ben grim presents hulk with the statue after his girlfriend, alicia masters finishes it. the block wasn't there, but the base where the statue's feet are on is there, so it looks like the statue was attached to the slab after like ALL statues are made.

i can provide scans later.

Well whatever the base was made of was sterner than regular stone or steel for that matter. Thor really hit the hulk pretty hard, in fact he hit him hard enough to have embeded him deep in a mountain range, and yet all the Hulk did to the base was create micro fractures. Before the retcon... if it was indeed retconned, the hulk crushed Ultron's adamantium chassis, and at that period in time i don't believe 2nd grade adamantium existed. Come to think of it, wasn't that nearly the same period in time that he was smacked into the base of that statue?

I guess we know who Devil Hulk is now.

The CB vs forum may explode next month...g_hulk

It's going to be awful.

Expect a couple Devilhulk appearances.

Although Zeus kind of just dealt with Hulk, so maybe it will be good.
