Do you resent that they changed?

Quite a bit from the comics.

Bruce Banner to David Banner, pursued by a reporter not US army, none of supporting characters, made the Hulk weaker than his comic counterpart.

No. I resent people that think anything based on a comic book needs to be STRICTLY BY the comic book. Kenneth Johnson changed things to separate it from the comics ON PURPOSE...the name from Bruce to David, "humanizing" the hulk, etc. This show was a LOT deeper than the comics.

No it was wasn't. It was basically the exact same thing every episode.

Whats the point in doing if you want to change it into something unrecognizable?

The changes made had a lot to do with the fears at the time that comic books were considered too silly to be made into movies or TV shows and too expensive to produce.
