Lou Ferrigno, who played The Hulk opposite Bill Bixby's Dr. David Bruce Banner in the famous 70s/80s TV series, had some disapproving words recently about the way Hulk was portrayed in Avengers: Endgame.

While speaking at Canada’s Hamilton Comic Con (as reported by ComicBook.com), Ferrigno took umbrage with the way Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner, in the film, had merged his mind with Hulk's body. Though it was the film's take on Professor Hulk from the comics, Ferrigno felt it took away the monster aspect of Hulk that he felt was important.

“What’s happening is that the first two Hulk movies, the CGI was improving, but the last one, Endgame, I was disappointed," Ferrigno said. "Because the Hulk needs to be hideous, he needs to be a creature."

“You see in Endgame, Mark Ruffalo —- I think it has a lot to do with him and Disney -— I didn’t like the way it portrayed [Hulk]. It took away that beauty, that quality of the Hulk. That’s why a lot of people liked the [original Hulk] series.”

Ferrigno also felt Avengers: Endgame was too “extreme with the spaceships, the shooting, the outer space.”

“We need good stories," he added. "Good elements, good messages about life. Because when you see the [original Hulk] series, even like The Twilight Zone, the original Twilight Zone, you learn something from every episode."
