Dog Hulk   (+17, -3)  [vote for, against]
Combining poignant drama with gutwrenching action

A friend came up with this. The basic idea: a dog is searching for his long lost master. he travels around, always just missing his master before he moves on.

And then, you could have some sad piano music at the end.

Also, the dog had some mutant x-ray beam shit happen to it as a puppy. So when the dog gets mad, his fur gets mangy with a greenish undercoat. Then he kicks everyone's ass in sight.

What's his doggie-doo like when he's "hulk-ized?"

Will somebody find him and take him home so he can get a new collar to rip weekly?

A 'friend' came up with this - yeah.... On the Internet no one knows you're a Hulk Dog

Littlest Hobo meets THe Incredible Hulk. Interesting.

I want to know if he wears raggedy Daisy Dukes when he transforms into Dog Hulk. Also, does he have to get angry to transform, or does it happen every time he barks really hard?

Yup. Things have never been the same since I inadvertantly caught that dose of Gamma radiation. I now see in colour, and hear sad, melancholy piano music whenever I leave a room...

Still don't bulge with muscles, no matter how peeved I might get.

WIBNI, Magic.

Read a book by Robert Silverberg and a co-author called "The Science of Superheroes". It basically explains how Dr Bruce Banner would have really died a horrible, horrible death from radiation exposure. (Also debunks the Fantastic Four and other such "mystical ray" superheroes that Marvel was so fond of)

Debunking comic book superheroes? What next, disproving the existence of Santa Claus? Cripes, what a killjoy...

So I was really studying that Dog Hulk in the link. I swear it is the same thing that Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver turned into in the first Ghostbusters movie. Those Zool dogs. So does that one dog hulk just go a long time between roles, or is that a breed of monster looking dogs that is used for these type of roles?

Stupid. Hate dogs.
-- DesertFox, May 04 2004


I am so pleased to see that Dog Hulk was not deleted. However, the Hulk movie surely baked Dog Hulks. Still, this idea rocks. On account of the dog, searching for long lost master, being green and mangy (not bald and bulgy), and kicking ass.

I visit this idea every few years, reveling in the concept and its presentation. Also on this visit I find my bun has disappeared and so I get to grant a new one. It is extra chewy, to keep the Hulk Dog busy.

In season 2 there could be a Hulk Dog nemesis. Probably a hulk cat but maybe this would be too trite.

I can see this being done skillfully as a flash animation Youtube serial. Minimal dialogue. Sad piano music integral to the concept.

Thanks for bringing this up trav. I laugh every time because of the sparse excellence of this posting. That the Hulk aspect actually waits until the third paragraph. Beauty.
