Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Other mistake: When Doc Samson attacks the convoy, he begins by bursting his hands out of the asphalt. This is pretty illogical, as for him to be able to wait for the convoy to reach him and then break his hands through the asphalt at the right moment would mean he would have to be inside the road itself, which means there would have to be a void between the layer of asphalt and the surface beneath it large enough for a person to fit inside, which would be a hazard, as the weight of cars passing over would eventually cause this section of the street to collapse.

Other mistake: When Betty is trying to revive Bruce, a console explodes and a corridor is revealed that soldiers emerge from. It makes no sense for a heavy piece of machinery to be blocking the way into a corridor if blowing up the console is the only means of getting in or out.

Other mistake: When the Outcasts are launching boulders at the helicopters, they hit one that explodes immediately, and both occupants can be seen emerging from the fireball, safely parachuting to the ground. Even if they were able to jump from the helicopter before it exploded, their proximity to the explosion would have killed them before they had the chance to deploy their parachutes.

Other mistake: The river that Hulk battles Doc Samson in is only ankle-deep, but when Samson knocks Hulk out with the sonic gun, the river current is able to carry Hulk downstream. Hulk is lying flat on his back, and since the water is only ankle-deep, his back would be touching the floor of the river. In this case, the current of a shallow river would not be able to carry someone of the Hulk's mass.

Doomed - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Jennifer Walters is first introduced, her fingernails are unpolished. Later when she is restrained in Dr. Doom's lair, her fingernails alternate between being painted pink and red. Given that she and Bruce were running for their lives, she wouldn't have had time to paint her nails. Later when she transforms into She-Hulk, her fingernails turn green with the rest of her body, but if her fingernails were painted, they should still appear that color, as her skin and hair turning green wouldn't magically remove nail polish.

Answer: The Hulk is a giant brute who smashes everything in his path when he is angry. In Ang Lee's "Hulk," General Ross, played by Sam Elliot, explains it to his daughter.

Answer: Because he feels the Hulk is a threat to all life on Earth, and particularly his daughter's close relationship with Bruce Banner puts her at risk when Hulk enters the equation.

Phaneron

Why does Ross think the hulk is a threat?

Because the Hulk is nearly mindless and goes on destructive rampages with high risk of collateral damage.

Phaneron

If that's the case, what's the problem with the way general Ross judges the hulk?

It's nuanced. Ross is correct to recognize the potential danger the Hulk presents, but he's also too stubborn to realise that he usually exacerbates the Hulk's rampages by trying to engage him in combat instead of trying to calm him down.
