Age of Ultron Ruffahulk Ruffasmash

If they do Planet Hulk they'll figure a way to get Ruffalo some screentime.

So, Bruce Banner could show up in a Planet Hulk movie? Cool, but that doesn't solve the problem of helping Mark Ruffalo fulfilling his contract. He's signed on for six movies. Placing him various phase 3 movies makes more sense than a single Planet Hulk movie.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Mark could easily have a standalone movie thats not planet hulk. And yes it would help fulfill his contract. Itd be one less supporting role he'd have to play. The man wants his own hulk movie and plenty of fans think its high time he got one.

The contracts aren't necessarily made to be finished, they are there to make the actors available to the studio if Marvel decides that they want to use them. It's only the actors that are bound by it, not the studio which can choose not to use them in a movie or even to recast the role.

I still don't want a Planet Hulk movie though.

 

[Roose Bolton]

One thing about a Planet Hulk film, even if they were to do it and still keep it primarily Hulk's story rather than Banner, it's not like Mark would be absent for 75% of the film. Andy Serkis played Caesar throughout the apes films, and given that Mark has been effectively serving as Andy's acolyte for this film, whose to say that he wouldn't be given the task of doing a full CGI performance in said film.


I mean there's a dozen other problems that comes with doing a Planet Hulk film, but I don't think the Ruffalo screen time thing is a major one. A question would be whether or not Mark could pull it off, if given the Caesar treatment.

I really hope so. I want to see skyscrapers being destroyed one after the other & maybe even a good portion of the city wiped out in this battle. Anytime you have beings like Hulk, or someone of his equivalent like Thor, fight there has to be immense collateral damage.

It's one thing MoS got right. That's just me though, I'm sure many will disagree.

a little off topic but i agree with you the MOS portrayed how destructive those types of fights should be. what they failed to do was realize superman should've known this and moved the fight elsewhere. one of the bigger character scenes in any comic book movie ever created was superman 2 when superman saw what zod & co. were doing to nyc and he decided to fly away to prevent more harm to innocent lives. that type of realization by superman was so powerful - and snyder completely missed out the true person that is superman.

 

[TheVision]

Im not excited or impressed by mass destruction in movies. MOS just had me looking at my watch because I wasnt invested in the characters at all. The Avengers is about the people at the heart of the action, thats my main interest as a fan. Without those great personalities that i love spending time with outside the action sequences, its empty to me.

Exactly. People should just go and watch Transformer movies if all they care about is mass destruction.

 

[Loki882]

It just comes with the genre. Team of heroes needs a threat big enough to justify them coming together. Oh and I loved MOS. Best superhero movie of 2013 imo.

But a key element of Hulks character is his extreme power and his story has often focused on how this destroys the people and things around him. If we are going to get a controlled Hulk (which we seem to be in the Hydra scene) then we also need to see the out of control Hulk and with his power level this means lots of damage and destruction. Even when he's trying to help he causes damage as seen in the New York battle.

You also need to include Stark in this equation. He's arrogant and impulsive and may not consider the effects on those caught up in the fight.

I must admit that I don't like many of the rumoured character developments in AoU, but having the Hulk and Hulkbuster destroying Johannesberg makes sense (especially for the civil war story). Superman is different and I understand fans questioning why he didn't lead the battle away from the city.

TIH feels like it doesn't even belong in the MCU. The only thing that remotely makes if feel like it belongs with the Cap, Thor and IM movies is the inclusion of some of the Stark Industries tech at the beginning, and Tony at the end, which to me has always felt tacked on.

He does need his own Hulk film, but since he seems to work best in an ensemeble setting, make it just that. Include Gamma enhanced Doc Samson, Betty, General Ross, The Leader along with Black Widow and maybe Spidey , and bam!…..you've got a Hulk film that everyone will trample over each other to see. Seeing Hulk and Spiderman in the same film together is even more geekasm worthy than Batman sharing the screen with Superman.

So I imagine 3 things.-Hulk will say the words smash atleast once.
-He will have an actual full sentence
Hoperfully something like "Hulk Smash Metal Man!" to Ultron
-Hulk will kill ALOT of Ultron bots, possibly more than anyone.
-Banner will be in control for every part of the movie except when Scarlet Witch manipulates his mind in Hulk vs Hulkbuster


Kinda sad, we can predict most of the plot by the way.

We already know this isnt exactly the case. In the scene following the attack on hydra banner is distraught and asking what happened and how many people was he responsible for killing.

 

[ernesth100]

And that part. But at somepoint he will be in control of the Hulk. I see in the poster he has Brown eyes like Banner which makes me think that they'll stick with Banner's "I'm always angry" contingency for atleast a fraction of the movie.

 

[CoherentChaos]

That description still confuses the hell out of me, but I'm just going to interpret it as Bruce being in control, but noticing a bit of a push for control from the Other Guy, even during intentional "episodes".

That or he's just not quite used to the idea of using Hulk as a weapon.

Also I expect Thor to have a higher robot kill count if he actually freaking uses some of his full potential. But yes, Hulk should naturally have a larger kill count than most of the other Avengers, being that for him, just running into things usually demolishes them. But on top of that, he's a pretty damn vicious fighter.

As for MoS levels of destruction, I suppose we'll get a bit of that from Ultron's actions. And while Hulk should be capable of toppling a skyscraper, doesn't mean he should be portrayed doing such a thing.

As for the Hulkbuster fight, according to the scene description...

Spoiler

Tony does make an effort to remove Hulk from the city.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Its pretty much a given that hulk will be either under banners control or at least cooperative.

 

[ernesth100]

Hm, seems about right. I really hope Hulk is going to use the Sonic Clap in the movie.
That end scene in the trailer when he's fighting the bots and turns around and they're all surrounded makes me think he's about to do it and wipe out most of the Ultron bot's.


It'd be a really cool "strongest there is" moment, but he kinda had that moment in the first Avengers when he punched the Leviathan. So they could give Thor that moment instead with his lightning. Which for some reason he never uses.


The Banner and Natasha relationship also intuigues me...holy crap I just figured it out.
That scene in the trailer's where the Avengers storm the castle and the scene where Hulk is looking at Widow in the forest. Take place in the same scene.


Hulk probably goes to far while they're storming the Hydra base, Banner realizes what he's done and runs off(still in Hulk form) and then Natasha comes after him and calms him down so he can turn back to Banner. I imagine the scene where Banner is sitting in the jet looking petrified either takes place after that or after the Hulk v Hulkbuster fight.

 

[Quasimod0]

As you can see from my avatar, Hulk tears through drones like paper. lol

 

[ernesth100]

In that scene they look like styrafoam *****es

 

[TheVision]

Ultron is like: have a taste of my flimsy drones

 

[ernesth100]

I imagine at somepoint the Drones will dogpile on the Avengers in sheer numbers like in the teaser art poster thing.

Where the hell did Ultron get all the metal.

 

[TheVision]

I think that picture is why The Avengers wont be able to win without someone elses help. Theres no way theyre gonna do another Chitauri ending with all the bots falling down at once. Its gonna be an overwhelming number of drones

 

[ernesth100]

I have no idea how they'll be able to avoid a Chitauri ending. My main prediction is that they'll shut down Ultron and the rest of the bots go down with him. I just can't see any other alternative. Unless they're just going to fight there way through every drone there which just seems like it'd take FOREVER.

The could change it up by Tony or Vision or JARVIS taking control of them and using them against Ultron.

I think the opening snowy Hydra scene is going to be a continuation of the Hulk we see in New York in the first movie - Banner is in control and the Hulk persona isn't (which is what we saw on the helicarrier when he attacks Widow and Thor). This is why we see the scene with Widow at the beginning of the movie.

But later in the movie this control vanishes and I think we will get to see the real Hulk personality

Spoiler

and he will not like Banner or share his views (as strongly hinted in this weeks Hulkbuster spoiler).

Somehow the two personalities will come to an agreement during the movie allowing him to join the others (briefly) for the final fight.

I must admit I didn't like the Hulkbuster spoiler as the cause (if true) is very predictable, and I hope the end of the fight is more original. But if true, then RDJ may have fibbed at SDCC when he said that the fight was because the two friends had fallen out. Makes you wonder how much misleading information has been provided in recent months.
