You're right, there wasn't any power punches either of the Hulk films, THOR, either Iron Man films or most superhero films in general.

Ironman 1 a few. He was beating up those terrorist that took that village hostage. He beat the living hell out of them. Sent one guy flying 2 stories in the air.

He sure did I don't know how I managed to forget about that punch, that was one of my favorite scenes from the Iron Man films.

I wonder if this will be the first film since Iron Man 1 where we actually see innocent civilian (non government soldiers or local authorities) casualties on screen.

It seems like there'll be a large body count in this film.

lol thats why i didn't like Ironman 2 that much. The action just didn't compare to IM1.

I don't care if Iron Man's suit case armor was less powerful, I still think Whiplash should've been sent flying when IM punched him on the race track.

Hulk most definitely isn't the most popular Avenger in the MCU, he is however getting the most buzz in general. The reason for this could be multiple things, maybe people think Marvel are finally getting the character right, that he'll show he's the strongest there is, that's how I feel even speaking as someone who loved his previous two outings.

Agreed. Tony Stark/Iron Man is definitely the most popular character in the MCU. No one else comes close to his popularity with the general public. Hulk is well-known, but he has failed to spark as much interest in the two chances he's had at cinematic glory.

I have a question. People keep staying that the Watchmen couldn't fight there Giant squid because it wouldn't look right but Hell boy fought his squid monster and no one complained. So do you guys think that the Avengers fighting the leviathan/s will open the door for more exotic monster to show up in Superhero movies and silence the nay sayers?

I hope so becaue I want the JLA to fight Starro so I can see Batman's "What the ****?" face.

Yeah, with the general public, when you mention Iron Man, the attitude towards him is usually

When you mention Hulk, it's usually

lol read the comments from the trailer. It looks like Hulk is regaining his comic popularity in Movie form. People are starting to take an interest in him. All I know is that if Hulk as a strong showing in the movie, people will left saying we want more Hulk by the end. We could end up with a another Heavy hitter in the MCU. Its weird people want to like Hulk they just don't like his movies.

WRONG! The Hulk is more popular than all of the other Avengers and has been for over 30 years. If "the Big 3" was based on popularity, Hulk would be #1.

Maybe in the past few years these others have grown in popularity by a hugge margin but Hulk is and was more popular.

 

[Nova2113]

Absolutely... dude would knock it out of the park. Never occured to me.

And just picture this father-son duo

VERY VERY good choice.... Hodge is great on Leverage and shows intelligence on that show... I think he would fit.

DW could kick me int he face and I'll still have love for dude lol

 

[Hawkingbird]

....My faveourite is Hawkeye and Black Widow
...and Iron Man....and Cap...
So ha!

The way I see it is that Hulk is like Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights: an actor who once was popular but had fallen out of popularity, but was given a chance to shine once again in an ensemble film and even earn an Academy Award nomination. As for carrying a film himself again, who knows?

 

[BigThor]

Well if it's true that there's two leviathans then it could be the team starts fighting them but then Iron Man has to start taking out more of the ships, Cap, Hawkeye and Black Widow have ground troops to fight so it's left upto Hulk and Thor to take out the Leviathans.

I'd love for this to be the case, I know people want the leviathans to be a "team effort" but someone's gonna have to keep fighting the infantry and air ships.

I think it would make perfect sense for Thor and Hulk to take on the Leviathans while the rest of the team deals with the other factions of Loki's army.

The thing that makes me mad are all the people saying you can't do any of superman's villains because there too far out there. I remember people saying that Darksied wouldn't work on film.

The next think you know Marvel will ends up introducing Thanos. That will shut those people up for a while and hopefully well get to see the WB make a Comic book movie with out striping all the Comic bookiness out of it.

Hulk is popular but his popularity hasn't migrated to film yet.

 

[Moridin]

Wow...Just looked up his age, I had no idea he was 48. He doesn't look it.

Yeah, it's a pity, Hounsou is awesome.

Hulk as a character is popular. His films just happen to be sub par. Kind of like how Superman is popular but His movie was also garbage.

I would say Hulk massively well known with the GA, but not necessarily popular. Kind of like Superman.

Did anybody post this?

It's the Avengers trailer... but in Marvel Animation style!

Yep, being well known and popular are two different things that people often seem to confuse as being the same thing.

There well know because they were massively popular at one point.

 

[Rock Sexton]

A good example is in SR where he lifts the island, that's something that I'd deem as a truly impressive feat. If Hulk does something like lift the Leviathan up or starts swinging it around by it's tail then I think it'll give the GA a better impression of how strong he really is.

No offense, but you're trippin' if you think you're gonna see something like that in the movie-verse. There stands as much chance of the GA laughing at that like "Really???" as there does them being in awe. The disparity of the size factor alone can create issues with suspension of disbelief.

 

[Shadowlord X]

Just to comment.

I agree with BigThor on the trailer. As MAGNIFICENT as it is, it could have been improved with a real money shot for THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA. If I were to modify it slightly, the battle scene with IRON MAN and the alien sky cycles in the streets would not of been followed immediately by the scene with him flying up towards the portal, but rather I would have replaced that with a cool shot of CAP and THOR back to back battling the alien ground forces with cool moves, OR the shot of CAP leaping off the bus followed by THOR hammering the car into the air. THEN I'd have the shot of IRON MAN being knocked out of the air and caught by HULK.

However in the end I really don't mind that they have saved so much for the real movie.

It's virtually a PERFECT trailer!!!

Hulk also isn't able to fly like Superman which would make pulling off something of that magnitude alot less believable.

Superman has one of the best rogues gallery of any hero. Some of the villains are more out there like Mxyzptlk but they could still be portrayed on film.

I hope that WB learns that. I'm happy with the villain choice in the current Man of Steel film but I hope they bring in other villains such as Bizarro or Brainiac.

 

[Dark Raven]

Yep, being well known and popular are two different things that people often seem to confuse as being the same thing.

Iron Man seems to be the one whom the general audience are quite happy to admit that they find him cool to like, even if they are non comic fans. He simply seems to be someone who resonates with people - not just RDJ but the whole concept: confident fast-talking Alpha male, playboy, fast cars, cool gadgets, beautiful women, lots of money etc.

Hulk, on the other hand, although well known, seems to be the character that most of the general public go at, particularly as he's perceived as this mindless raging monster. He seems to epitomise the comic book movie that only appeals to a very specific audience. He simply doesn't have the same broad appeal as Iron Man.
