Geesh, you guys were moving at warp speed for a while there. It took me like an hour to read through and process everything. At one point, I had probably a million questions, but some of them were answered in between.
Sava, I understand better where you're coming from now. Thank you for the line-item response to my note. One logistical question about the location, though. You said they should "find somewhere that isnt NYC, i'm sure there a citys with big buildings in the US other than NYC." Not to be a jerk, but I just don't see how you accomplish a major plot without involving some major, recognizable city like NYC. Sure, you could have it in St. Louis or Chicago or somewhere, but doesn't that take away from the significance of the battle? I mean, it's not just the buildings that matter. It's the
prominence of the place where the battle is taking place and we want the biggest, baddest city there is, don't we? I don't think "just anywhere" works. I
am getting a little tired of NYC, though, so I sympathize with you there... but I just don't see how else you accomplish a major plot. Would you rather just have Hulk and Abomy have a momentary touchdown in NYC (2-3 minutes out of a 15-minute battle) and finish the battle in some rural area where we see them do serious damage to the earth? I'm being serious.
Idiot? Well I've been called worst. Sava and I were having a conversation and you come along and try to demean Sava and I’m the idiot? I’ll let it go, Sava has answered your questions. Oh, btw, I hate it when I get a hangnail. owie
t:
But that's just it, I wasn't demeaning Sava at all - just trying to enter the freaking conversation. You then twist my words to make it a personal affair, saying I'm "bashing" him, and come to his defense like I'm Megatron or something.
The Abomination is on a rampage. The army can’t stop him, nothing can stop him. Bruce, holding the cure in his hand, a cure he’s been try to develop for year, looks at Betty, tears welling up in his eyes because he knows that this is it, there is no more serum, there’s only enough to cure one. Knowing that the Hulk can’t kill the Abomination because he has a similar healing factor as The Hulk, Bruce give Betty the serum and say, “When I knock him down shoot him with the serum.” An epic battle rages on, Betty and Samuel Sterns look on waiting for the right moment to shoot the Abomination with the cure when the beasts slam into the shelter. There is a huge explosion. Sterns is thrown into a chemical waste storage tank while Betty is thrown clear of the shelter. Picking herself up off the ground Betty shoots the Abomination with the serum......................
That, my friend, ROCKS. A script we can be proud of.
That my friend is a good story, I'm sure this movie is going to be kick-ass and the sequel will amaze us all!
I'm not so sure. Although the perception around here seems to be that I'm some antagonist who's out to senselessly "bash," I actually have sympathized with the ZP doubters to an extent... and I think the here-and-now, trying to come up with a script that works, is as fun as it gets. Who knows if the producers are "reading our wavelengths," as some of us hope? No one does. So that's why I press upon people for answers... because it could be that the best scripts are devised here, by us, and we may never see what we want in the movies themselves. Do you follow? I actually respect what the hell you think... but don't appreciate the counter-bashing and/or twisting of words.
A couple of questions about Abomy, as would follow CJ's script above:
1. Can someone tell me what his persona is when he's a monster? Is he intelligent or he is just some mindless monster that harks back to early horror flicks (e.g., creature from the lagoon)? I'm trying to get a better feel for the battle and how/why he has an edge on the Hulk, who is still at least somewhat intelligent, right? My understanding is the Hulk doesn't exactly think straight, but he's not a complete dumbass either. And, with that intelligence and only slightly inferior strength, I don't see how Abomy kicks Hulk's butt at any point.
2. Assuming we have a cure, if the cure doesn't work on Abomy, then how do we know at the end that he's still Abomy? How is it shown? Does he become like Banner, with the ability to change, but they close the movie with a scene similar to Lee's Hulk? Does he suffer a severe-enough wound that he goes into hiding, more or less, like an animal?
3. Since we seem to have so many reservations about the script, does anyone worry about Sterns taking Abomy under his wings like the Chancellor/Sith Lord takes Anakin/Darth Vader under his? Isn't that regurgitating something we've already seen? Isn't the whole concept of setting up films by preserving characters cliche itself? It's interesting to me that some of you seem to have no problem with this.
Also, is there any possibility we could see the Gray Hulk, sort of as a byproduct of the cure going awry (if only momentary)? Or am I just way off, in left field, etc... the cure should never even come about (as Sava wants it)?
