WWDSD: The Credible Hulk

It is my pre-pro opinion that the reason Hulk films fail is because their scopes have been ridiculously large. Think Transformers. The reason the live action Hulk TV show worked is because we cared about the characters, and we cared about them because they were rooted in reality. If the only thing that can stop an 18 foot tall Hulk are genetically engineered Hulk-dogs, soundwave cannons or another Hulk (which was all Abomination was), we can't relate to the danger - or lack of. But if the Green Guy was a tad smaller, say, eight, nine feet? And now he can get hurt by something we can comprehend - like bullets or an ax, even a nuclear blast - we now fear for his safety.

If I was writing it, a new Hulk film would be downsized and dark. This is an epic struggle between two opposing parts of the same man, warring sides of a fractured Id, it's Jeckle and Hyde, Frankenstein and his monster. The reality of Banner's situation is dramatic and personal. Use it, for Hulk's sake... and ours.
