They only rip from the knee down, I don't see why that would require unstable molecules.
However, Liefeld is an enigma wrapped in a pouch-filled, muscular, footless conundrum.

It's never made sense how hulk's pants rip.

At least they don't rip in the crotch. That would be awkward.

A dude gets bombarded with gamma rays and instead of dying, transforms into a super-strong monster, and it's his pants that don't make sense?

comic book science tells us how the Hulk works, it doesn't tell us how his pants work.

I know that if I grew like the hulk did they would certainly rip around the waste.

At least the latest film addressed that he actually buys pants several sizes larger to accomodate for just that.

Oh for Jesus.

No, comics don't tell us how the Hulk works, and cannot, because gamma radiation does not function like that. Comic book science just says, "This crazy shit happened, because this ain't the real world, and shut the fuck up, Poindexter." Which is fine because it's suspension of disbelief, right? Now, the thing is, you're willing to suspend your disbelief to accept that gamma radiation can in fact turn a man into a powerhouse with poor impulse control, but his pants...well, fuck those pants because that shit doesn't make sense?

And in the film, he buys goddamn stretchy pants. He even says this.

That would be disgusting.

Also probably what happens with Jude.

I think there would be more whiny bitches complaining if they didn't rip. Maybe they'll get the ripping right this time in all the right places 8)

comic book science has this long explanatation about pulling matter from the negative zone and all that nonsense. I don't really care about that. I'm just saying that they've gone ahead and provided some bs explanation about the transformation like it makes any sense, but never really anything about the why the pants rip the way they do.

Yeah in the film his buys the biggest stretchy pants he can find, I liked that little wink wink nudge nudge moment.
