Part 2 of my look at medical scenes from the MCU, this time The Incredible Hulk! Not as many scenes popped up in this one, but hope you enjoy what I did find. I'll be back with Iron Man 2 tomorrow...
Dr Hope's Sick Notes - I once had a spinal tap IT HURT felt like they were pulling out my soul or something! They needed to test that fluid to see if I had something or not. They didn't know what I had. Then whatever I had went away on its own anyway... wtf Doc?
Right! And my theory is, is that somehow the gamma radiation affected the mitochondria on the quantum level, allowing zero-point energy to be created in the vacuum between sub-atomic particles - ghost particles interacting with each other, causing a cascade reaction not unlike atomic fission.
Just one thing about the Hulk experiment with Gama Radiation, in the Avengers is confirmed that Bruce Banner was one of the many scientists that were trying to replicate the Super Soldier serum that made Steve Rogers into Captain 'Muricah, Bruce thought that Gamma Radiation was the energy source necessary and powerful enough to activate the amazing effects of the serum, but he turned into the Hulk instead, powerful but out of control, but the case is that he did had some serum that was at least close to the Cap on his system, so maybe he had components in it that made the radiation harmless, Captain America is immune to many things that are harmful to a normal person, it all comes down to Comic Book logic, but still, consistent to the crazy and mad science of the MCU. I'm looking forward to the next Break Downs, love your vids!
If Captain America’s serum made the good better and the bad worse, I wonder if Banner had the serum RIGHT all along. Although, he received a mal-effect similar to the Red Skull.
1:40: Welcome to the world of 1960s superhero origins. “We don’t know crap about science, so let’s just say radiation did it.” This is usually why film adaptations try to find more realistic ways of explaining the hero origins, like the gamma rays supercharging Captain America’s super soldier serum to create the Hulk, or in Amazing Spider-Man, using gene splicing to explain Peter getting spider powers instead of radioactive spider venom.
I once heard an explanation of this, focusing on Spider-Man, that made a lot of sense. Basically, comics are highly representative of the culture that creates them; in the 60s, radiation and nuclear weapons were a huge public fear, so radiation was the source of all the superpowers. In modern times, radiation isn't that prominent, but genetic engineering is, so suddenly it's a genetically modified spider causing Spidey, instead of a radioactive one. I wonder when we'll get the Spider-Man reboot caused by gluten-and-vaccine spiders?
Wow can't believe it, I just watched your video about iron man and thought I couldn't wait for this one and it just came out. I love the mcu and love watching your videos, this is the best lol
Yo. You are one cool British guy haha. My friend graduated from imperial college so I have a small idea of how hard you guys have to work. Thanks for everything doctor.
I just wanted to let you know a little bit of background that not many people seem to know... In the story Bruce banner was attempting to recreate the supersoldier sirum used on Captain America... And if you remember cap was injected with a drug before being exposed to a fictional radiation called "vita rays" Bruce banner decided to replace the "vita rays" with Gamma radiation....
You're confusing the comic book with the movie. In the movie he didn't only get exposed to gamma radiation. Rather, he had taken the super soldier serum and then exposed himself to gamma radiation. The serum is why the Army was hunting him. They couldn't inject him with the antidote, because his blood would react to he antidote and he would most likely hulk out in response.
Loosely based on the novel 'The Hot Zone' which described real-life accounts of the Ebola virus outbreaks. I have never been more humbled then by reading of the worst of nature's wrath.
Dr. Hope's Sick Notes, I remembered in my science class in 2nd year high school, we take a blood sample and then we can see it in a microscope to see how blood cells looks like.
"I'm gonna inject this in your muscles" - the guy aiming the carotid artery... The most impressive scene in that movie is when Banner become the Hulk on the chair, and crushed down the chair basement. Proving that Hulk *gain mass* (a lot) in the transformation, and E=mc² (Einstein energy conservation) we found out that create mass demand an *humongous* and unbelievable amount of energy, like a reversed nuclear bomb to create just some kg.
Well ADHD person's with the right mental training, could be very possible to have enhanced Perception, and with enough adrenaline in the body, people can lift a lawnmower or even a pickup truck. And most likely run at max human speed
There's the guy who can literally just run forever. (until bathroom or sleep at least.) There's the diving family in I think Japan that has perfectly clear vision underwater.
Love the idea of you and your doctor friends sitting around binge watching Marvel movies just to anylyse the medical information for us! Keep up the good work! Xx
I love your videos. You're likable, funny, and a joy to watch. Seriously, I love the joy you have for medicine and watching after a hard day makes me smile.
You should break down ‘Awake’ it’s about a man going into open heart surgery and experiences anesthesia awareness. It’s really cool and has a great plot twist.
With the Hulk series there were more than a few different explanations as to how Dr. Banner got hit with the "massive dose of gamma radiation. They were either accident or conscious act depending upon in which medium he is seen or when, but it always comes down to investigation of gamma radiation. Originally (I believe) we start with the comic story of a military test of a "gamma bomb". There is a malfunction and Banner finally goes to check when it starts to kick in and BOOM. He gets a serious case of "gamma gone wild". But that was changed decades later when it got to TV when it was decided that Banner would be doing research into gamma radiation on its possible use to help benefit people which give us the conscious act of exposure.
What I like about you Dr. Hope is you're a sweaty! You love the MCU and when you explain the science you're not condescending, simple and to the point. Cheers mate!
The reason banner could take the radiation is because in the comix his father believed Bruce was a mutant that can probably hold all that gamma radiation without diving.
That gamma machine sequence is reference to the 1970s Incredible Hulk televsion series with Bill Bixby as Banner and Lou Ferrigno as Hulk. In that series, he was experimenting with gamma radiation to figure out how gamma radiation had caused specific cases to exhibit enormous strength to either remove themselves from being trapped inside a building or other life threatening situation, or to do so for a loved one. Banner had been unable to save his wife because he hadn't been strong enough to lift the car off of her, and his experiments were to determine the cause of this strength and why he hadn't been able to exhibit it.
I think, in universe, they were expecting his cells to mutate into those of a supersoldier. They were trying to recreate Captain America and I guess Banner's calculations proved to the military that he would become stronger.
These videos make him look like the biggest nerd ever and a bad person to watch a movie with but the best person to talk about the movie with😄 btw this is not hate I love your videos
Gamma radiation only awakened what was already inside of him. Bruce had a great trauma within him, which caused multiple personalities and there was an imaginary friend who gave him destructive advice. With the accident, all that was made into a raging entity fueled by anger.
If you're not careful, superheroes are gonna become our collective name lol. The editing on this one really stood out to me for some reason. Keep up the good work :)
2:25. The gamma rays are part of it. Basically in this version Banner had a portion of Captain America’s serum. Unfortunately it was incomplete so he decided to use Gamma Rays as a stand in for the missing steps he didn’t have.
Gosh Doc. I really enjoy your videos and I have to say that I've never met such a likeable doctor as you in my entire life (and I'm nearly old enough to be your mom)! 😁
In the comics Peter David posited that the gamma radiation increasing your strength and turning you green was only part of the effects. It also made your body resemble what you believed you were inside. Bruce Banner, beaten as a child believed himself a monster inside, and an angry one at that. So that's what he became. Jennifer Walters however was a quiet bookish woman studying law, but she saw herself as smart, pretty and outgoing. Thus why typically when she became She-Hulk, she wasn't a rampaging monster. She was a beautiful superhero. You can also see the villainous Leader as an example as he grows an abnormally large head and intellect.
The bit about tranq darts reminds me a little of how they worked in the original Deus Ex game. When you shot someone with a tranquilizer they'd start running around and shouting for a bit before eventually conking out, since they dealt nonlethal damage over time rather than instantly incapacitating the actor. (More recent entries kept this delay mechanism as well, but the enemies seem to have suddenly become unable to notice when a 2" long hypodermic needle is shot into them at high speed.)
When I saw them bringing it up and as you were breaking down intramuscular injections. I didn't immediately think of the delts, I thought of the glutes. Which is actually a great injection site for hormonal treatments. So much muscular tissue there that makes it easier to make sure the meds are getting deposited where they need to (not fool-proof - if not careful you can nick a blood vessel and give yourself/someone a hematoma).
In the lore of Marvel comics, Banner’s family is special. Somewhere in the family tree there was a mutant that processed radiation differently, specifically gamma radiation, but it was so long ago that it didn’t register on anyone’s radar. However, every gamma villain and hero in the marvel universe is descended from that mutant and carry a latent wildcard gene that activates when exposed to various levels of gamma radiation. Bruce Banner was working for General Ross (Betty’s father) on a top secret project to build a gamma bomb. They were at a test site in the middle of the desert that was supposed to be deserted, but after it was too late to abort the test explosion he saw a young man in the blast radius and ran out of the shelter to get he out of the way. The guy was Rick Jones, and he survived. But Banner was caught in the gamma explosion and his crazy wildcard gene activated. By the way, the Hulk is a manifestation of one of Bruce Banner’s others due to extreme physical and mental abuse by his father all his life. The grey Hulk is the gate keeper and calls himself “Mr. Fixit”. Though Bruce worked through his issues in the comic and the Hulk isn’t a stupid monster any more.
So according to General Ross, Banner was looking for a way to help humans RESIST the effects of gamma radiation, using some of the remnants of the research from the Super-Soldier program, which were mostly lost. They were hoping that his research might lead to new discoveries in that area. As such he was probably injecting himself with some of the chemicals they used in the super soldier project, then exposing himself to low levels of gamma radiation to test how his cells reacted, if they had become resistant. What probably ended up happening (and a lot of this is mixed up in the comic book lore) is that Banner got angry for some reason during the test, the Super-Soldier chemicals mixed with stress hormones like Adrenaline, Cortisol, and Norepinephrine, had a reaction to the gamma radiation, and ended up doing for him what it did for Captain America... only in an out of control way. The more stress hormones his body creates, the bigger and stronger he gets, and the more hormones he's able to release. In the comics this, in theory, means there's no upper limit to how strong and angry he can become. All of this of course breaks the first law of thermodynamics as all of the additional mass seems to come from nowhere.
Just found your channel last night and I'm hooked. Although it took me a few videos to realize you were saying junior doctor and not genie doctor. I kept thinking "What the heck is a genie doctor?" Anyway, love your channel! Keep up the great work!
For context, The experiment you see at the start was conducted by S.H.I.E.L.D, under the guise of a US Army experiment, to try and replicate Captain America's Super Soldier Serum. They managed to replicate the formula, but they don't know the specific Radiation-type Catalyst to properly activate it. It's said in Captain America: The First Avenger that they used Vita Rays. But they used Gamma Radiation. Hence the result was different. He's much Stronger than Cap, but more savage, aggressive. Love your vids. Keep up the good work, Doc! 😋👍
Ok... so an hour ago I watched your video about iron man 1 but I turned off my phone and came back just now with the video still open. I clicked on your channel to subscribe for the next video and bam the next one is already out!
They explain this in the movie, but Bruce had the Gamma rays blasted on him because he was trying to PREVENT radiation sickness. Ross introduced him to a variant of the Super Soldier formula as a potential solution and he went "Aw this is great! I'm going to blast myself with the stuff!" and... well... Hulk...
Not sure if it's canon, but a friend of mine told me that in the comics, Bruce always had the Hulk in him. The gamma rays just triggered it? It's a cool take on why he is the way he is.
Your friend is pretty much right. When Bruce was young, his father was VEEERY abusive. He didn't like the fact that his wife was basically ignoring him in favour of their son, and so took out his frustrations out on Bruce and eventually her. Now this bit I'm not 100% sure of but if memory serves me correctly. The Hulk is Bruce's desire to protect his mother from his abusive father.
I can't say it enough but I thank you for all of these sick notes videos it's just good this also helps me when im trying to revise or remember these medical terms and since im also from the UK I think this will help me the best im so looking forward to all of these like I said before it's just so exciting to see all these medical scenes by s real doctor will done once again Dr. Ed Hope.
I love this series. Your enthusiasm, respect for creative license, and throroughness while speaking in layman's terms are remarkable. I've just published my first novel, and I used tranquilizer dart guns in the early drafts in the same way, that instant take down movie trope. Fortunately, I became acutely aware of this inaccuracy during the revision! In most cases, I wrote around needing to use them. In one scene, though, it became more dramatic, because the young protagonist is hit with a dart intended for a grizzly bear. He doesn't lose consciousness, and instead he's able to hear from those around him how deadly this might be for him if untreated. It was a great way to be more accurate and enhance the dramatic tension in the scene. Here's the animated trailer that I created for the book. I'd love for you to check it out! th-cam.com/video/eUTLXSrc8Nc/w-d-xo.html
The doctor just saved my life. I was in the process of building a gamma ray machine but he said 'Don't try this at home.' so I stopped. I never knew this thing could kill me!!!
Wish you'd do the (bullshit 'unofficial') The Hulk with Eric Bana. I feel he was a better Bruce Banner than Norton.😅 Also is technically, if unofficially, the prequel to this, explaining exactly WHAT happened in the lab, why, and why he's suddenly in South America.😁
Good, I was hoping someone would mention this film. This movie The Incredible Hulk is a half-sequel half-reboot but as you point out, it does explain some things aswell.
honestly, mark ruffalo did a fucking great job taking the role of hulk, like i loved the incredible huik like that guy already did an amazing job, i loved the movie even though it was kinda cheesy, its a great movie to watch it brings me nostalgia. especially that scene with, "EYYYY GRINGOOO" xD
Don't forget that the light microscope isn't gonna give you live cell imaging like that at that resolution and magnification in a monolayer like that. That amount of light to get that view of a RBC would scorch the eyes like nothing else.
Off-topic: it’s weird that this film is in the MCU, but Marvel just completely brushed aside the Leader. It’d be one thing if this was a sequel to that awful Ang Lee Hulk movie and they never got a third one, but no, this is the MCU. They’ve got the same General Ross, Iron Man makes a cameo, and in Avengers/Avengers Assemble, Banner references his failed suicide attempt from a deleted scene in this same film, yet, they set up the Leader with still no payoff 10 years later
Honestly, I always knew deep down inside that the hulk movie existed, but it felt like the entire movie was just a fever dream 😂😂 I mean, Stan becoming a hulk? Dude 😂😂
Technically, for the sake of the MCU, Banner was using Gamma radiation on a formula that the Military was trying to reproduce. Ever since Captain America the military have been trying to make another formula but have been getting nowhere. Banner believed that Gamma radiation could unlock the serums potential, so he irradiated the serum then injected himself. However there was an accident in the lab and the Gamma machine exploded exposing Bruce to a highly lethal Dose of radiation. The serum in his blood resulted in his becoming The Hulk. At least that's how the MCU origin goes. Banner didn't know that the serum was a Super Soldier Serum At all. He thought it was a Curative serum that when finally understood would have multiple applications for combating disease and illness. But just to be clear, the radiation exposure was entirely accidental.
That shot into the vertebra looked a lot like a spinal tap, which I can tell you from personal experience are the most painful things on the entire planet and all of history and time. So that reaction bruce gives is well justified.
Part 2 of my look at medical scenes from the MCU, this time The Incredible Hulk! Not as many scenes popped up in this one, but hope you enjoy what I did find. I'll be back with Iron Man 2 tomorrow...
Hi. Im a big fan and future biologist. Keep going.
Thanks for taking the time to do this and explain everything so well. Have a nice day! :)
You'd find WAY more in the (unofficial) prequel to this movie, The Hulk with Eric Bana. It explains everything up until Banner being in South America.
Dr Hope's Sick Notes - I once had a spinal tap IT HURT felt like they were pulling out my soul or something! They needed to test that fluid to see if I had something or not. They didn't know what I had. Then whatever I had went away on its own anyway... wtf Doc?

And by the hulk
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the Hulk.
Right! And my theory is, is that somehow the gamma radiation affected the mitochondria on the quantum level, allowing zero-point energy to be created in the vacuum between sub-atomic particles - ghost particles interacting with each other, causing a cascade reaction not unlike atomic fission.

What probably ended up happening (and a lot of this is mixed up in the comic book lore) is that Banner got angry for some reason during the test, the Super-Soldier chemicals mixed with stress hormones like Adrenaline, Cortisol, and Norepinephrine, had a reaction to the gamma radiation, and ended up doing for him what it did for Captain America... only in an out of control way. The more stress hormones his body creates, the bigger and stronger he gets, and the more hormones he's able to release. In the comics this, in theory, means there's no upper limit to how strong and angry he can become. All of this of course breaks the first law of thermodynamics as all of the additional mass seems to come from nowhere.
Just goes to show how powerful gamma radiation really is.
Loving this series already, so much to learn! I'll never watch the MCU in the same way again
Looking back at this Hulk...
6:08 Are the spiral tubes necessary for a dialysis machine?
Didn't expect you to be this early btw. Awesome.
Those tubes are condensers. They are used in distillation. I think that they put them there to make it look more spectacular.
I wanna sleep but when doctor hope posts it’s a must see
I’m loving these! Can’t wait for the next one. Norton is my fave Hulk. Off to check out Callum’s channel...
Just found your channel last night and I'm hooked. Although it took me a few videos to realize you were saying junior doctor and not genie doctor. I kept thinking "What the heck is a genie doctor?" Anyway, love your channel! Keep up the great work!
For context, The experiment you see at the start was conducted by S.H.I.E.L.D, under the guise of a US Army experiment, to try and replicate Captain America's Super Soldier Serum. They managed to replicate the formula, but they don't know the specific Radiation-type Catalyst to properly activate it. It's said in Captain America: The First Avenger that they used Vita Rays. But they used Gamma Radiation. Hence the result was different. He's much Stronger than Cap, but more savage, aggressive. Love your vids. Keep up the good work, Doc! 😋👍
Enjoying watching these videos. Thanks for making them.
You are so goooood. I love you videos the way you break down very little things. You are awesome.
these are so entertaining to watch real doctors react to things
Love the doctor perspective on this
Love these MCU related videos!
Ok... so an hour ago I watched your video about iron man 1 but I turned off my phone and came back just now with the video still open. I clicked on your channel to subscribe for the next video and bam the next one is already out!
The official reason given in future movie for his gamma research was military trying to recreate the super soldier formula that made Captain America.
I think the Gamma waves were, in universe, an attempt at the 'Vita Rays' used in the Super Soldier programme (see Captain America: The First Avenger)
"They seem to know what they're doing" is one of the best responses to seeing dubious sci fi goings on XD
They explain this in the movie, but Bruce had the Gamma rays blasted on him because he was trying to PREVENT radiation sickness. Ross introduced him to a variant of the Super Soldier formula as a potential solution and he went "Aw this is great! I'm going to blast myself with the stuff!" and... well... Hulk...
Not sure if it's canon, but a friend of mine told me that in the comics, Bruce always had the Hulk in him. The gamma rays just triggered it? It's a cool take on why he is the way he is.
Your friend is pretty much right. When Bruce was young, his father was VEEERY abusive. He didn't like the fact that his wife was basically ignoring him in favour of their son, and so took out his frustrations out on Bruce and eventually her.
Now this bit I'm not 100% sure of but if memory serves me correctly. The Hulk is Bruce's desire to protect his mother from his abusive father.
YAY :D This series is so great thank you Dr. Hope
2:20 you forgot he was injected with the super soldier serum.
''they seem to know what they are doing'' LOL
I just watched your iron man video and you drop this, definitely subbed!
That microphone is powerful enough that you don't need it in shot... My OCD needed to point that out. Carry on.
I love these medical scene breakdowns👏🏻👍
Like the 1954 Godzilla which was radiation related the hulk was written during the Cold War
I can't say it enough but I thank you for all of these sick notes videos it's just good this also helps me when im trying to revise or remember these medical terms and since im also from the UK I think this will help me the best im so looking forward to all of these like I said before it's just so exciting to see all these medical scenes by s real doctor will done once again Dr. Ed Hope.
Lovely video. Always wondered why this movie tends to be overlooked. Still Great review and a fine way to start off the day.
I love this series. Your enthusiasm, respect for creative license, and throroughness while speaking in layman's terms are remarkable. I've just published my first novel, and I used tranquilizer dart guns in the early drafts in the same way, that instant take down movie trope. Fortunately, I became acutely aware of this inaccuracy during the revision! In most cases, I wrote around needing to use them. In one scene, though, it became more dramatic, because the young protagonist is hit with a dart intended for a grizzly bear. He doesn't lose consciousness, and instead he's able to hear from those around him how deadly this might be for him if untreated. It was a great way to be more accurate and enhance the dramatic tension in the scene.
Here's the animated trailer that I created for the book. I'd love for you to check it out!

The doctor just saved my life. I was in the process of building a gamma ray machine but he said 'Don't try this at home.' so I stopped. I never knew this thing could kill me!!!
Wish you'd do the (bullshit 'unofficial') The Hulk with Eric Bana. I feel he was a better Bruce Banner than Norton.😅 Also is technically, if unofficially, the prequel to this, explaining exactly WHAT happened in the lab, why, and why he's suddenly in South America.😁
Good, I was hoping someone would mention this film. This movie The Incredible Hulk is a half-sequel half-reboot but as you point out, it does explain some things aswell.
Bonus like:
Love the Stratocaster in the background!🎸🎸🎸
*patiently* waiting for deadpool
honestly, mark ruffalo did a fucking great job taking the role of hulk, like i loved the incredible huik like that guy already did an amazing job, i loved the movie even though it was kinda cheesy, its a great movie to watch it brings me nostalgia. especially that scene with, "EYYYY GRINGOOO"
xD
He kinda looks like Edward Norton
Don't forget that the light microscope isn't gonna give you live cell imaging like that at that resolution and magnification in a monolayer like that. That amount of light to get that view of a RBC would scorch the eyes like nothing else.
Off-topic: it’s weird that this film is in the MCU, but Marvel just completely brushed aside the Leader. It’d be one thing if this was a sequel to that awful Ang Lee Hulk movie and they never got a third one, but no, this is the MCU. They’ve got the same General Ross, Iron Man makes a cameo, and in Avengers/Avengers Assemble, Banner references his failed suicide attempt from a deleted scene in this same film, yet, they set up the Leader with still no payoff 10 years later
Honestly, I always knew deep down inside that the hulk movie existed, but it felt like the entire movie was just a fever dream 😂😂
I mean, Stan becoming a hulk? Dude 😂😂
Technically, for the sake of the MCU, Banner was using Gamma radiation on a formula that the Military was trying to reproduce. Ever since Captain America the military have been trying to make another formula but have been getting nowhere. Banner believed that Gamma radiation could unlock the serums potential, so he irradiated the serum then injected himself. However there was an accident in the lab and the Gamma machine exploded exposing Bruce to a highly lethal Dose of radiation. The serum in his blood resulted in his becoming The Hulk. At least that's how the MCU origin goes. Banner didn't know that the serum was a Super Soldier Serum At all. He thought it was a Curative serum that when finally understood would have multiple applications for combating disease and illness. But just to be clear, the radiation exposure was entirely accidental.
Mate your channel is gold.
Keep 'em coming! I love your assessments.
That shot into the vertebra looked a lot like a spinal tap, which I can tell you from personal experience are the most painful things on the entire planet and all of history and time. So that reaction bruce gives is well justified.
um, aren't Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Cosmic radiations of shorter wavelengths than Gamma?
