Quote 262 of 495
I'm far from an expert in such matters, but I would have thought that
a combination of nanomeds and gamma radiation would be sufficient to
make a nerdy researcher burst out of his clothes, turn green and start
smashing things. I have now learned that this will occur only if there
is a pre-existing genetic anomaly compounded by a history of parental
abuse and repressed memories. This would be a fascinating paper in The
New England Journal of Medicine, but it makes a supremely irritating
and borderline nonsensical premise for a movie.
-- A.O. Scott in a review of The Hulk.
