Thursday Bullets: Not so Incredible

Thursday Bullets: Not so Incredible

• Thank you to the Norwegian Benny Hill for posting this humourous video. (Pulled by Facebook May 21, 2021)

• Contrary to my friendly neighbour, Mr. Bobby Buff, I never liked The Incredible Hulk television series (1977-1982) and related (1988) for two main reasons.

• For one, the show was so over theatrical in production, as can be seen in the video, it was more of a accidental comedy than action adventure/drama.

• Two, as 'huge' (Mr. Bobby Buff) as Lou Ferrigno is here, he is not the 1000 pound plus superpower monster of Marvel Comics (not that I was ever a Hulk fan per say).

• Television and films did not begin to do justice to the supposed powers of fictional superheroes until the era of CGI (computer generated images), starting in the late 1980's forward.

•  My deduction is that Mr. Bobby Buff thought it was way cool, every time the Hulk flexed, and that is the biggest reason he thought the program was so wonderful. (Golly I wish I could be that big, he thought)

Very non-exhaustively

• I can agree with the peace movement where it disagrees with non-defensive wars by states. 

• Peace is not the same under democracy at it is under a totalitarian system. 

• Peace in democracy depends significantly on the maintenance of law and order.

• Peace in a totalitarian context depends significantly on the maintenance of law and order and the specific limiting of liberties to maintain the totalitarian state.
