So what's the relationship between Hulk and Incredible Hulk?

Is it A) A retcon (A deliberate changing of previous facts in a work of fiction.) B) A requel (A marketing phrase used to describe the remake of a movie, taken in a different direction.) C) A remake (A piece of fiction that uses a previous work as the main source material) D) A sequel or prequel (A work of fiction set in the same source material, but focused on a previous or later time along the timeline.) or E) A do-over?

It's a do-over, although Marvel is apparently hoping you'll answer "requel."

Notes
A requel isn't a sequel, a movie that continues a story begun in a previous film (a term that dates in the general sense to 1513), or a prequel, a movie that takes place during a time before the action of a previous film (first use: 1958). Instead, it's a different take (a kind of cinematic reboot) on a previous film.
