Better Handling Than The MCU
I'm not an MCU hater by any means. I don't love everything they do, but I like a lot of it. One of my biggest gripes, though, is their inability to write Hulk, for some reason. His villains are given to everyone else, his most important moments of growth occurred offscreen, and he hasn't had a stand-alone movie since the Edward Norton one. But if you're looking for a piece of Marvel media that actually captures the character pretty well, you can find it here!
Bruce and Hulk get to be the center of their own show. They have their usual villains, Doc Samson, Betty Ross, Rick Jones, and Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk! It's a lot of great characters, and they get to be in season-long storylines! There's also a lot of really neat cameos. Iron Man, Ghost Rider, Thor (back when he had his Donald Blake identity!), and Dr. Strange. There's genuine emotional drama mixed in with episodes that are more about wacky hijinks (usually She-Hulk-centric).
The voice cast is great! Lou Ferrigno gets to lend his voice to the character he portrayed in live action for so many years, and he does a wonderful job. He can sound ferocious, but also sound like a hurt child. Anyone who knows Hulk knows that's exactly what he is, deep down. He's probably my second favorite VA for the character, w/ Fred Tatasciore in first. I was just surprised that he was so good at voice acting! I guess I shouldn't have been, considering his performance in Adventure Time was great, too. You've also got incredible names like Cree Summer lending her voice to She-Hulk and Mark Hamill playing Gargoyle.
This is still a show generally aimed toward a younger audience, so you won't get the most deep character study in the world. But all in all, it's a great show, and a well-written look at a character who doesn't get enough love from Marvel's most popular iteration.
