The Incredible Hulk BTS Featurette

[Sarg92]

Pretty good featurette!

I like the new shots of Blonsky and he sounds good! It would be funny if Abomination does talk that he talks with a British accent.

But when Blonsky was getting injected and stuff and then got flipped over on the table and you see his red hands, weird and gross!

Hulk roaring when he's jumping sounds good too, that roar was always there but in the trailer they had music playing so you couldn't hear it.

But you do get a dark and serious tone from the featurette which I like.

 

[Kirmit]

I was actually really impressed with that featurette, the shot of the new york street was great, the amount of destruction, wow. Liked we saw bit more of Blonsky in this, seems he's going to make a really good, tragic villain. I liked all the new shots, I liked how Banner defines him and hulk are not one in the same and ofcourse the shot at the end is still great.

 

[Sava]

damn, cant stop watching this, love it, this is what i wanted the trailer to do, finally the marketing seems to be getting there

 

[ultimatefan]

Cool featurette, like the close-up of Emil´s fingers transforming and the final close-up show was awesome, too bad it wasn´t finished when the trailer aired. By the way, the scene where Banner´s running around what looks like poorly-constructed houses is clearly from some favela in Rio de Janeiro - tough spot to shoot, drug dealers pretty much run those areas.

 

[SpaghettiHULK]

It was "You know what scares me the most? When I change...when I totally lose control... I like it."

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Any one else having problems playing this? I cant for some reason.

EDIT: Nevermind, saw it on the youtube link on the front screen, pretty cool, although it didnt show us much new stuff.

 

[Iron_Stark]

This movie is going to kick so much a$$ on so many levels!

Make Mine Marvel!!

The featurette is awesome. Kevin Feige's correct, Spidey and Hulk are Marvels two most known characters, with that in mind Marvel needs to bring Hulk back to his rightful place in the publics eye.

Also about the Hulk and Banner. Although Banner nor Hulk do not want to admit it, they are indeed one and the same. A good, but lacking definition of Hulk from the television show is that he's 'the raging spirit that grows within,' only given the name Hulk. Hulk's or this raging spirit is within all men in general, Hulk's being Banner's in particular. He's an extension of Banner.

Spidey and Hulk ARE Marvel's most well known characters. And that's exactly why we are getting another Hulk movie, despite the public disapointment from the last film. Like Kevin said at Comic-con when asked why another big screen Hulk?..."Because it's the Hulk!".

And you are absolutely right about Hulk And Banner. That scene in the car where Banner denies that he and Hulk are one in the same is THE most promising thing in that feature to me. I was so happy to hear that scene. That's the key. Banner wants to get rid of the Hulk (and sometimes vice versa) but he is really just in denial. He hates that extremely distinct side of himself so much, that he can't accept that it's really him deep down. He refuses to acknowledge it.
I'm really pumped!

this featurette is pretty awsome

I disagree with this. Hulk is Banner. Banner can only be Hulk. I hate the idea that anyone could turn into a "Hulk". Gamma Mutated creature, yes. A "Hulk"? No.

I hope the movie shows that Banner is unique. Just as is Leader, Samson, Blonsky, Rick Jones, ect.

I should have been clearer. I agree with your statement not all men can become Hulks as most even in the MU, die from the affects of gamma radiation making banner unique in that aspect and the way gamma ray affect each individual, who has that particular x-factor that allows them to survive, is different.

Hulk however is in part Banner's inner rage and that's the part of Banner that manifested as such. Leader's intelligence manifest not his inner rage.

Ravage was a Hulk foe as well as Rick Jones Hulk that manifested rage like Hulk.

 

[halfapple]

The flex shot, then at the very end the subtle growl Hulk gives.

Much better.

I like that growl he gives at the end.

Anger being transformed into courage~ I like the sound of that, and I hope this film delivers that.

 

[FrostBite]

Or, better yet, "You know what the worst part is? When I change...when I totally lose control... I like it."

t:


I haven't seen the film in a few years, but I remember Bana's Banner railing at his father to the effect of, "...no, I'm going to isolate it and kill it..." Whatever the actual quote, the concept was present.


But the Hulk isn't a separate entity altogether, is it? It's the physical manifestation of Bruce Banner's own anger and rage.

Yes he does say "know what scares me the most?" But that shows his GUILT for liking it. Not his fear of the actual beast. Plain and simple he should not enjoy it.

Ah yes, now I remember the isolating and killing... that didn't last to long though.

The Hulk may be a physical manifestation... but it's not Banner (in mind or personality I should say, because technically they are.) It's an entirely different beast. Banner hates Hulk, Hulk hates Banner. It's like having another person take over your body every once in awhile.

Banner didn't actually indulge in being the beast in 03, but he sure didn't seem to act as if something else was taking control of his body as if he had to take a back seat and watch.

Edit: Keep in mind this is only a minor nit pick, I don't really care THAT much.

 

[Bobstarsky]

I think Hulk & Banner r 1 & the same, but they hate eachother... It's best shown in Hulk: The End...

Spoiler

When Banner dies, he turns into the hulk, & hulk is finally alone, but he feels empty after Banner's gone

Thats what makes me think They're 1 & the same

If one could die and the other was still alive wouldn't that prove exactly what I was saying?

Yes he does say "know what scares me the most?" But that shows his GUILT for liking it. Not his fear of the actual beast. Plain and simple he should not enjoy it.

If the line was, "Do you know what scares me the most...?", and he's using the word "scares", that, rather unambiguously, implies fear. Guilt too, maybe, but fear in the face of the part of himself that could enjoy (and in doing so, possibly, reinforce) something like the Hulk. Not to mention all the times he desperately tried to not undergo that transformation. (Getting tasered into unconsciousness rather than succumbing anger, for example.) Overall, despite a few small fragments of his markedly damaged psyche that may have enjoyed the vague feelings of power ("who wouldn't?", is a salient question), it was fairly obvious that Banner wasn't, when all was said and done, exactly fond of the thing. Hooray for psychological complexity. Onions, and all that...

Which, as I said, is a good thing. And good that they've apparently incorporated some of those things into TIH. But, I imagine, we'll probably have to see the thing before we can delve too deeply into that end of the analysis.

But it is a part of him; without Banner, and his gamma-soaked accident, they're would be no Hulk. They're two sides of a coin, so to speak, and that relationship is at the heart of the intriguing dichotomy that comprises the basis of the character.

Edit: Keep in mind this is only a minor nit pick, I don't really care THAT much.

Yeah, but what else is there to do on a Hulk-themed message board? Roll with it...

 

[co2]

We are debating a topic that has made Hulk comics interesting for more than 40 years. Are Bruce and Hulk one in the same?..Like I said, this is one of the most interesting questions of the comic, and has provided the comic with countless stories. And even then, it depended on who was writing. Sometimes it was a revelation to Bruce that he and Hulk could actually be one in the same. Most of the time, he refuses to even acknowledge that thought...and so does Hulk.
In my opinion, Hulk isn't a personality that just came from nowhere. The Gamma radiation didn't create a new personality, it just gave an avenue for one that had been repressed for so long to escape. It has been a part of Bruce since so many tragic events in his life had shaped it. Hulk was there a long time before the Gamma bomb went off. The Gamma bomb was just the trigger. Does he think and act like Bruce...No. He's a distinctly different personality...But yes, they are one in the same person.
That's just my opinion.
The fact that we can disagree and argue this point means that the character has inherently something very interesting going on....that's a good thing.

Hence the thing I did not like. Him enjoying it in anyway. I mean maybe if this was more of a merged Hulk thing, but I doubt thats what they tried to go for.

Overall, despite a few small fragments of his markedly damaged psyche that may have enjoyed the vague feelings of power ("who wouldn't?", is a salient question), it was fairly obvious that Banner wasn't, when all was said and done, exactly fond of the thing. Hooray for psychological complexity. Onions, and all that...

Oh to true, I realize that he wasn't exactly fond of the beast, and had someone but stoic (in my opinion) Bana been playing maybe the fear would have been more apparent. But although he held back tons, I still felt as if he enjoyed the Hulk a bit much. Hence the "puny human" scene which could be taken 1 of 2 ways.

Either A) It was the Hulk looking down on Banner.

or more likely B) Banner's own insecurity of not being the Hulk as much as he wants. Seeing himself as inferior to his big green alter-ego. Not being free as much as he wants, not indulging in the power because he knows he must hold it in.

Which, as I said, is a good thing. And good that they've apparently incorporated some of those things into TIH. But, I imagine, we'll probably have to see the thing before we can delve too deeply into that end of the analysis.

From what I've read you'll definitely get your "Guilty Pleasure" side of Banner in this film... one scene in particular sticks out in my mind.

But it is a part of him; without Banner, and his gamma-soaked accident, they're would be no Hulk. They're two sides of a coin, so to speak, and that relationship is at the heart of the intriguing dichotomy that comprises the basis of the character.

Oh I know it's a part of him. But I just never got the sense they were two different entities... personalities may be the better word, in 03 Hulk. I more got the feeling Hulk was a born again version of Banner. Which while interesting in theory just didn't play out well in my opinion.

Yeah, but what else is there to do on a Hulk-themed message board? Roll with it...

Oh to true, tis what these forums are for. t:

True enough, I have a book "The Tempest Fugit" written by Peter David in which it shows Bruce as a young man, and Hulk as his sort of well... imaginary friend or an alter ego of himself. (Not sure how Hulk fans will react to this, but I found it interesting.)

When Bruce had pent up rage and fell asleep Hulk possessed his body, dragged him to school and planted a bomb in the boiler room. (If I remember correctly it then turned out to be a dud.)

And you are right co2, the Hulk is so many different things to so many different people. A very complex and intriguing character to some, others just want the Hulk Smash aspect others like myself need that good balance of both.

I think this is why I still believe it is so hard to make a successful Hulk film.

Well said.

Also one other note, everytime Hulk and Banner have been separated, they began to deteriorate.

PPl were saying this last shot looked, sssooooo real. Well, there is just something off about it. It still loos just as un-rendered as the rest of the Hulk cgi in the trailer.

Correction: AD was saying... I was one of the like 3 people talking about the last scene and I told everyone otherwise. Really I think it's close to the final product. It doesn't bother me, but I wouldn't get your hopes up if you don't like it.

When Tempest Fugit was originally planned it, PAD stated that it was supposed to be young Banner from the Ultimate Universe, but was later changed before the book's release to exist within Marvel 616.

Hulk is an extremeley well rounded and complex character but most people at first glance miss the real conflict. Hulk is more than just repressed anger and pent up rage released, he's also Banners will power, drive, survival instinct, subconscious reflex, etc... with his on desires. That's why a speechless Hulk limits the greatness of this character so much.
