* In deleted scenes, Bruce is seen jogging across the mountains near the favela, and then through the favela itself. He was likely working on keeping his heart rate under control while exerting himself, as well as building speed and endurance, for the very purpose of being able to run away from the military if he had to without hulking out. He likely scoped out escape routes ahead of time in every direction, with traps like the gap between buildings which the soldier fell through because he couldn't see Bruce at the moment he jumped it.

* Some people complain it was too much of a coincidence that Bruce happened to be able to escape through his co-worker's window when climbing down from his own place. However, when Bruce first arrived in the favela and got the job at the plant, he likely needed a place to stay. It seems likely that either the factory helped him find a place, in which case they may have helped her find a place too, or that the co-worker knew a place right near her was open and suggested it to him. If the first case, it would explain why he ran into the factory bully, too, as all the factory workers were likely housed in the same area.

* When Bruce cuts his thumb at the bottling plant, you can see the blood, as it spins in mid-air, separating into two droplets. One half-drop lands on the brim of a bottle, the other falls between the bottles to land on the track below. Bruce couldn't see that happen, so when he found the perfectly round droplet on the conveyor belt below where he'd cut his thumb, he didn't realize that another droplet had already moved a good ways down the track while he was running down to where he saw the blood heading.

* The tranq darts used in the favela were likely calibrated to Banner's weight, possibly even stronger than would typically be used for someone his size if they had past experience with him shaking off sedatives/anesthetics quickly. So while Blonsky shooting Bruce's dog with a tranq at first seems like a more minor cruelty, the poor pup, being much smaller than Bruce, would have received a ''massive'' overdose, almost certainly a fatal one, especially if he didn't get any medical care, something the military is unlikely to bother with and the favela is unlikely to ''have'' even if someone wanted to help.

* In the episode "Prometheus", if there is enough gamma radiation being emitted by the meteor to keep Banner perpetually stuck between forms, why isn't it having any effect on anyone else, and why aren't radiation detectors going off to alert people to the high concentration of radiation in the Prometheus facility?
* In "Never Give A Trucker An Even Break", why did David mess around with calling the operator and directory assistance while trying to get a hold of the police, when he could have just called 911?
** This was in 1978, and 911 was not in common use at the time. By 1979, only 29% of the US population could dial 911, and they were in the more populous cities. TimeMarchesOn

* Thanks to ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' and ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', it makes sense why the gamma experiment affected Bruce and Blonsky the way it did. Since the experiment was meant to recreate Cap's SuperSoldier serum, it follows the same PersonalityPowers rule. For Bruce, it latched onto his suppressed anger issues thus creating his UnstoppableRage. In Blonsky, it latched onto his BloodKnight desires and amplified them beyond reason.
** Or they just didn't understand Dr. Erskine's process and attempted to use gamma rays instead of the vita-rays he invented. Dr. Erskine didn't leave any notes. It's possible that Steve Rodgers would have become a hulk-like creature if the processes were reversed.

* Thanks FridgeBrilliance:
* Hulk, while a tough cookie, isn't shown
to ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' and ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', be as unstoppable as he normally is. While it can be argued that this makes sense why his conflicts more interesting, it's interesting to note that this is explained ''in story''. Banner ''has been working on a cure'' while in South America, and recent testing revealed that the gamma experiment affected Bruce within him is much lower, possibly explaining the Hulk's limited strength.
* In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', it's revealed that the super soldier serum strenghtens the user's main personality trait. In that movie, Steve Rogers is a selfless {{Determinator}} accustomed to taking a beating and keeping his cool, so as ComicBook/CaptainAmerica his heroism was increased; while Johann Schmidt was an evil and ambitious MadScientist, so as Red Skull his evilness was increased. In this movie, Blonsky lives to fight, so after taking the serum his willingness to fight slowly turns into full on BloodKnight tendencies, combined with DrunkOnTheDarkSide. As a plus, Schmidt
and Blonsky both received an ''incomplete'' serum. Steve is the way it did. Since only one to get the experiment formula as it was meant to recreate Cap's be given (refined, in a lab, with someone who can handle it) which is why he is the only one that doesn't suffer [[BodyHorror horrific side effects]].
** Captain America is a successful
SuperSoldier serum, it follows whose main weapon is a gleaming shield because he'd rather defend the same PersonalityPowers rule. For Bruce, it latched onto his suppressed anger issues thus creating his UnstoppableRage. In Blonsky, it latched onto his BloodKnight desires and amplified them beyond reason.
** Or they just didn't understand Dr. Erskine's process and attempted to use gamma rays instead of
innocent than punish the vita-rays he invented. Dr. Erskine didn't leave any notes. It's possible that Steve Rodgers would have become guility. The Hulk is a hulk-like creature if the processes were reversed.failed super soldier who breaks cars apart to make crude shields out of self-defense. Hero+Super Serum=shield user.
