No Hulk sequel, a RE-START instead.

[Chris Wallace]

I just want an actual GAMMA BOMB to go off in his face. No crappy cop outs - just a plain ol' nuke, please.
The bomb just adds an indespensible subtext to the whole shebang.

I don't know if, in this day & age, audiences would buy a man walking away from that. I don't buy it. He was pretty much at Ground Zero-he should've been incinerated. And this is hardly the age of nukes. Arguably, the last thing they should be showing in a movie right now is the government testing a WMD.

Suspension of disbelief shouldn't be a problem. After all, he turns into the Hulk for cripes sake.

We all know that, but outside of the heroes powers, all superhero movies base their stories in a realistic setting.

Why not, they droped one right on The Hulk and the Partaking Man in the movie. That didn't seem to bother anyone.

Actually Banner was about 5 miles away from the blast. And as for the audience not buying it, they didn't seem to "BUY" Angs take on the Hulk either. :

they didnt "buy" Angs' take on Hulk because of the crappy build up to it.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I really liked the build-up in this movie, especially since a lot of it is prominant in the second half of the movie.

 

[Gogo Bananas]

LMAO!
Good point.

I don't care what any of you Hulk (Ang Lee's movie)-bashers say, I absolutely LOVED every single detail of that film. It's simply beautiful imo.

I'm the same, and i still watch it quite frequently.

why thank you

 

[Cracker Jack]

You're welcome buddy

AVEITWITHJAMON: I have no idea how you can see the same thing in what was presented in the movie. But like you said, it's your opinion.

Hey Sums, did you know that the Gamma Sphere detects gamma ray and does not emit them? And how is it any more believable that Banners stands infront of the Gamma shpere, taking the full force of it and survives? And Harper, because he has a mask on he isn't affected? Oh yeah.......I believe that.

 

[Sava]

from all these years of us arguing over this movie, i've learnt one thing, us fanboys will never be happy no matter what. That being said, the makers of the movie should have attempted to make the movie which most of us would have liked, insted of just a few.

 

[Cracker Jack]

The sad thing is that it was right there for the taking. The story, even though it isn't the best, would have worked fine. Change the origin back to the way it should have been, keep him one size (7-9 feet) and replace his father as the Partaking-man and the movie, in my opinion, would have been better recived by us hardcore fans.

 

[Chris Wallace]

however you saw how limited the thing was strength wise...

in order of feats, the thing can't handle a fire truck with two hands where spidey can stop a speeding train and also hold a tram with one hand (heck goblin is stronger than both of them technically).

you see the thing about THE THING is that i always saw him as a person in a costume, his movement wasn't natural and was fairly restricted, nor was his size and stature really intimidating enough. I felt more like i was looking at a circus act rather than looking at something that is so extra ordinary that it needs no name.

by making him tangible made the character less realistic and hence less convincing in my eyes.


did you not like king kong because you knew that it was a computer generated monster, how about the dinosaurs in jurassic park?

Spider-Man is NOT stronger than the Thing. IN ANY INCARNATION. The Goblin is not stronger than Spider-Man. In the case of the firetruck, it wasn't an issue of strength, but of leverage. He had none. The truck was dangling over the side of the bridge & the challenge was not just to oull it up but to make sure it didn't snap in half. And the Goblin is just a more vicious fighter than Spidey. That was his advantage in every one of their fights-an advantage he lost when he threatened to go back & finish MJ.
I liked the direction they went w/the Thing, as he, unlike the Hulk was always supposed to be more man than monster. But I somehow suspect you're in the minority, arguing that a tangible character is less realistic than a CG one.

I think Marvel knows this too, lets hope they get it right with the remake, lets face it, even if i or anyone hates the idea of a remake, if its good, we'll see it. I dont really care what it is as long as it gets Hulk back up there with Spidey and Xmen where it should be and now down with DD and F4.

Well its the same for me, i cant understand why so many people dislike this movie. I watched it again the other day and my love of it hasn wavered in the slightest. Just one of those things i'm afraid.

The gamma didnt come out of the sphere though, it came out of the charger David later used on himself.

That was part of the Gamma Sphere that The Hulk through out the window.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

CJ, The Hulk through the sphere out of the buidling BEFORE David blasted himself with the Gamma chargers, so thats impossible.

 

[Cracker Jack]

I thought the chargers, as you call them were attached to and part of the sphere? If not, what was the thing that Bruce stood infront of?

 

[Sava]

the chargers attached together form a sphere shape and hence is called the Gamma Sphere

DING DING DING!! You win a cookie

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Bruce stood in front of the sphere yes, but the charges that were attached were the things that released the gamma radiation. They were long thick things that were yellow and the back of them twisted to show a nuclear ish sign when they were activated. The sphere was merely to control the amount of gamma released. But the sphere malfunctioned when Bruce stood in front of it, thats why he was hit with so much and also why the Nanomeds got into the room and Bruce. The Nanomeds and Gamma couldnt effect Harper because he had a mask on.

When Hulk threw the sphere out of the building, the gamma charges were still in the room as Hulk ripped the sphere from them, thats how David was able to later hit himself with Gamma rays.

nope my friend, the charges were still in the sphere, go back and watch the scene again, you'll see after the Hulk throws it out and it hits the floors, some of them fall out.

 

[Cracker Jack]

Aveitwithjamon, thing about this ^ for a sec. The mask prevented gamma rays from being absorbed by Harper? That's like saying a srceen can prevent water from passing through a hole.

And before we go any further, I'm just presenting these to show that this orighin wasn't anymore believeable/realistic than the comic book origin. Sure it was updated to fit the times and all that but is it really anymore believable/realisitc than a guy being caught in the heart of an explosing and being pelted by gamma rays? I say no it isn't and actually, it's less likely given all the variables. But that is just my opinion.

Edit

I'll pick this up tomorrow. See ya
