These movies are listed in the movies part of our database:

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/26883-the-trial-of-the-incredible-hulk
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/19593-the-death-of-the-incredible-hulk
There are no reasons to duplicate them here.

There's plenty of other shows that have standalone movies listed on their own pages and entries on their related TV show pages. For example, "Batman: The Movie" (1966) has it's own page under movies, but is listed as Episode 1 under Specials for the 1966 Batman TV show.
It makes sense to keep the movies grouped with the TV Shows they spin off from. This site is used heavily by other systems (like Plex) to pull metadata in. If a person is watching the movie, they're almost certainly also watching the show (and vice versa), and they probably want to watch them in the correct airing order. That's a lot easier to do if they're grouped together with movies under Season 00 with proper air dates.
