The Avengers How would the general audience react to Hulk talking??

[SuperFerret]

Spontaneous human combustion. There is no other reasonable answer.

I'd like to see him slowly grow to talking more, but they can't just flip a switch and have him talk more with no explanation. i could see him becoming more talkative through interactions with rick jones.

The new animated Avengers series establishes that they are two separate personalities and Banner has stopped trying to get rid of his Hulk side and accepts it and can submit control over to the Hulk.

I love the way they are portraying hulk and banner in the new animated avengers. Hulk is intelligent and banner isn't trying to get rid of him. And the split personalities are very apparent and work very well. Hope this how hulk is portrayed in the avengers and any other hulk sequels we may have in the future.

Yea I love the new Cartoon can't wait to see tonight's episode. Hulk vs Everyone!!! "No One Controls The HULK!!!"

But that takes out part of the dynamic. Banner and Hulk are supposed to HATE each other. The true Hulk isn't supposed to be willing to negotiate with "puny Banner". While I do enjoy the show, they're missing some key elements of the Hulk's history/persona. In my opinion, this Hulk is bordering on being almost too intelligent...

I think there are pros and cons to the hulk hating banner concept, while in the new cartoon hulk hates banner but banner sees the hulk as helpful, I think we see a lot of hulks hate just because of the fact that he doesn't want banner to have his time out.
As far as the hulk being too intelligent, I know a more Intelligent and vocal hulk is what everyone's been waiting to see, it makes him more interesting and gives him more depth imo.

I just read a section of The Ultimates in a bookstore and as long as they don't have Hulk say anything like that, I'm okay. I'm not a critical person at all, but I was pretty shocked how bad most of the dialogue was, especially Hulk's.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

The ultimates are pure garbage.

 

[Son of Coul]

Yeah I see that now. I heard the characterizations left something to be desired, but goddamn. The only thing that concerns me now is the quote on the back from Joss Whedon saying how good it is. But it seemed like he was phoning it in a little, so who knows?

 

[TikkiEXX]

i dig Ultimate Hulk. hes a bit of an a hole but whos not in the Ultimate U? lol. but as ive said before im an Ultimate U. fan thru and thru. its what got me interested in the 616 Avengers. i guess it depends on how big of a fan you are of the 616 characters. i only read Xmen before so i wasnt too familiar with the regular Marvel guys.

While he did ask to be the Hulk permanently, he takes too much of what Banner says into consideration. Especially last night when he gave Banner props for this recognition as a monter. That's just not the character I know.

As far as "what everyone's been waiting for"....well, that's not necessarily correct. A more vocal Hulk is one thing, but a more intelligent Hulk is definitely NOT something I've been craving. It depends on what people view as "more intelligent". The classic Savage Hulk was not stupid and spoke all the time. He just referred to himself in the third person and had a hard time recollecting things and people. We may have to agree to disagree on this one.

well i haven't seen the new show, but when i think of the Hulk i think of a character who is less talkative the more angry he is. that would be the classic hulk. films don't allow as much opportunity for a post anger hulk, certainly not one that has spent much time with anyone. in TIH banner likens it to an acid trip where he cannot focus or be rational. the implication being that his innate goodness still is a factor. that if you put the hulk in a situation he'll do the right thing, but all of banners socialisation and learning is falling by the wayside. this is much like many film versions of tarzan, and that they share the third person references is telling.

Something from another post that kind of relates to this:

More importantly though, I think the events of TIH, combined with the prospect of Hulk-as-villain in the beginning of the movie could open the door for the Gray Hulk, or at the very least a more intelligent Green Hulk.

The antidote not only seemed to let Banner control the Hulk at the end, but also appeared to make him weaker initially in the fight with the Abomination. Not only did it take him longer to change during freefall, there were a few instances (especially after the helicopter crashed) where the Hulk simply looked like he didn't want to fight. He also learned to speak a bit better during this final sequence. I think it's an opportune time to introduce a Hulk who, while maybe a bit weaker, is more intelligent and conniving. Not the cannibalistic psycho-rapist of the Ultimates, but a creature more sinister in the beginning who becomes a good guy again by the end.

Hulk shouldn't be talking in movies. It feels stupid. I like it in comics but it doesn't work in movies. Hulk needs to be convincing, not laughable. It didn't work in The Incredible Hulk.

 

[marcvader]

So you'd like a mute Hulk then. He barely spoke in TIH.

Not completely mute. He could still roar. Hulk in TIH would have been perfect without speaking.

The entire concept of the character is that he hates people thinking he's a mindless monster, and just constantly roaring and walking around sulking won't exactly do that. He often goes the savage route out of spite whenever someone treats him like ****, but that should be the extent.

It worked in Ang Lee's Hulk.

Precisely, which is why the Gray Hulk is needed. I don't think anyone wants a full movie of the Savage third person talking Hulk, but the intelligent & cunning Gray Hulk would surely not be comical at all. Quite frightening in fact

I don't think anything really worked in that ****-turd of a film. Most heartbreaking experience of my cinema-going life...by far.

A Hulk who doesn't speak and is thus merely an effect rather than a character is most definitely not a Hulk I ever want to see in a movie.
