The Incredible Hulk CGI Thread

[The Joker_1000]

I want to know which Hulk would win but we're going to have to wait until the movie is released. I wish the movie would be released a little sooner but then again, we want all of those bugs and little imperfections to be worked out.

 

[The Joker_1000]

you haven't asked which artists I'm talking about or what exactly I mean.
throughout the Hulk's history artists have alawys depicted him in their own styles. Some may have made him more muscular or bigger than others.
However, they all followed the basic rules of the character.

That being that the Hulk is not shaped like a big human. His anatomy is drastically different.
his hands and feet are disproportionately large, making his wrists/ankles, and upper arms very thick and big. His head is also somewhat on the smaller side, while his waist is large and thick.

His muscles are not lean,,,like those of the smaller body builders (or triathelete where you seen each little muscle, but rather massive, a la Myke Tyson, or Bob sap.
the artists in question did not follow those rules. They made him overly ripped and/or gave him a tiny waist.

I should say that it is in this way also that I think the 03 version is better. the 08 version's waist is too skinny IMO.
to give credit to 08, his face has a much better look than the 03 face.
i wish i could combine the 2.

In no way did I ever say the Hulk is shaped like a human because he's not human.

All I'm saying is that it's okay for his muscles to have some sort of defintion to them, I'm not saying he has to be lean or skinny. Having a little defintion isn't going to kill anyone.

You wanna see what a Eric Banna Hulk would look like, just see the movie Chopper to get a closer idea

Pretty good if you ask me.

 

[The Joker_1000]

I saw those same pictures on another forum. Bana could probably do well as a live action Incredible Hulk.

I don't think he's going to get the ears unless they plan to have him become more lizard like in the sequel which I kind of doubt.

Little trivia: there isn't ANY lizard on Earth with ears like the comic book Abomination. In fact, lizards don't have mammal-like years. They're more like a spider's internal genitalia.

Zach Parrish on TIH

At Rhythm and Hues, Parrish worked on “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and he is
laboring away on “The Incredible Hulk,” a forthcoming summer blockbuster that – despite its current state of disassemblage – is still as forthcoming as ever.

Like all summer blockbusters, it’ll barely be finished in time, Parrish said.

If “The Incredible Hulk” were a sequel to Ang Lee’s 2003 disappointment “The Hulk,” a person could be excused for wondering how they’d raised the money for it.

But “The Incredible Hulk” is not a sequel to “The Hulk.”

In fact, if Marvel Comics Inc. could chemically erase all recollection of the first Hulk movie from moviegoers’ minds, studio execs would have finished drugging the world’s water supplies long before I even began to type … what was I typing again?

Just kidding.

Parrish said the character designs will be better this time around. “I think the way we’re handling it this time, we’re making him a little bit more hardcore,” he said. “He definitely has more of a beast face.

“We didn’t try to make him resemble Edward Norton (the actor who plays the Hulk’s alter ego, Bruce Banner, in this installment). We’re trying to make him look as cool as possible.”

And classic comic book villain The Abomination has been completely revamped.

“In the comic books, he looks more like a lizard,” he said. “We’ve made him look a little bit more mean.”
Despite the fact that Rhythm and Hues set out to specifically address mistakes made in the prior film, bloggers have already begun to grouse about what little they’ve seen in the new movie’s trailer.

“They don’t like what we’ve done with the Abomination,” he said. “They always find stuff to carp about. “They talk about lighting and compositing, and they’re just kids. They don’t even know what they’re talking about.”

Like all animators, Parrish works a succession of 10- to-12-hour days, 13 days in a row.

“It’s good money, but it does get a little tiresome,” he said.

However, he and his fellow animators are imbued with the zeal of the converted.

“Everyone is in it because they love it,” he said. “I enjoy my job so much that it stops being work.”

Kids? No, the greater majority of us are adult age fans of mixed professions. Sorry if we dont care fore "Uber-Blonsky", but the Abomination has his own specific look.

And these guys wonder why we get bent out of shape when we hear comments from them. That "kids" comment kinda pi$$es me off, because they think we (the people commenting on the internet) are some teenagers complaining about this stuff.

Not exactly happy with the general tone of that article either.

 

[Bannerless Hulk]

^My thoughts also. The fact is few, if any, of us would have no problem with Parrish's comments (the problem with Abomination) if they were an accurate representation of what actually is. But he goes straight to ad hominem in the effort to marginalize our concerns, which remain legitimate. Like, thanks Zach! Glad to know we're "just kids"! Sheesh... if this is a playground, then he's the biggest boy on the block. You keep "playing" in that editing room, Zach.

 

[Nivek]

The overall tone of the article is pretty obnoxious as well, the use of Nerd and stupid little things the author used in describing the source material, and the heavy emphesis on the TV show, and this guys lack of knowlage in "dodgy special effects".

 

[spidey-dude]

he sounds like a bratty little kid himself just saying that

On that note, did you catch how Ang Lee's Hulk is assumed a "disappointment"? Like, way to write off the thousands of Hulk fans or even the general public who actually loved the movie. As if everyone wholly, uniformly writes off the '03 Hulk film as being anything of a success. Editorial at its best... gotta love it.

Well, to be honest, you can kind of get that vibe if you're not a part of the online community. The media has these types of boards pegged as a bunch of bratty teenagers and kids who are holed up in their rooms or basement doing nothing but griping all day about nothing.

Well, these reporters wouldn't get that vibe if they did some more research into their SUBJECT MATTER.

 

[Kirmit]

This guy must think he'll win over people by slating the last movie since he seems to every chance he gets in that interview. I personally can't believe he slated ILM's special effects aswell, despite a few scenes everything was on a very high level. Now he's insulted the cgi in the last film he better deliver some truly mind blowing effects in this one, though the fact he thinks he has to badmouth the last movie to make this one sound great says alot of his personality.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

A kid's movie. Huh. So, in the future we'll see kids jumping off choppers to Hulk Out (did they paid Mark Millar's royalties, BTW?) and they'll soon be blaming the movie.

 

[Bobstarsky]

Whether ur an adult or not, complainin about the visuals & look is just a waste... I c what he means, alot of people don't kno alot about the job he does, yet they criticize him like they actually do his job... & Ang's Hulk was almost a bigger failure than Street Fighter, the CG was good no doubt, but it sucked a whole lot of balls...

 

[terry78]

The 2003 Hulk was not a bad movie. It wasn't. I hear this on all the "hip" media stations, tv and radio, etc....."the first Hulk sucked, dude! Arrrrghhh, frat boy migraine!"

The movie was a little too in depth for the subject matter, Ang skewed TOO far into drama, and not enough into comic territory. You don't want to go too far into campy cartoon land nor into realistic psychodrama either.

 

[smooth3006]

the hulks design is definitely a cross between the tv series and comics.

You guy's believe that 'damage control statement' if you want. I'm willing to bet my left testicle that what we see, is what we'll get.
