The Avengers The Official 'Hulk in Avengers' thread. - Part 2

[Obi-Ron]

That's more of a Wolvie & Colossus thing, though it would be kind of neat to see Hulk hurl the shield at something.

 

[Xeno]

So I'm guessing that this is wear the whole Bruce Banner and Black Widow potential romance rumor started from:

http://www.zimbio.com/Robert+Downey+Jr./articles/s3s8KM2cVDb/Ruffalo+Hints+Bruce+Banner+Black+Widow+Love

Wait, are they going to totally trample on the somewhat stable relationship between Tony & Pepper for the sake of an abortive love triangle in the movie? Why not have that role go to Hawkeye, who was the Widow's lover when the two first appeared in the comics?

Apart from that, I do like the idea of Tony trying to goad Bruce into hulking out just for ****s and giggles. That seems like the sort of thing that the MCU Tony Stark would get off on.

He actually did something like that during Ultimates 2.
An Iranian super soldier was about to behead Cap whilst the other team mates watched on from a distance, the shield was too heavy for them to throw to Cap so Hulk picked it up and threw it at the Iranian guy, cut his hands clean off.

I'm wondering on what kind of physical obstacles/threats that they'll have against Hulk int his film?

I mean, given that both Hulk and Thor for that matter have been proven to be the powerhouses of the team, along with how strong Hulk has especially proven himself to be, I wonder what Loki's army would bring to the table that would force someone like Hulk to need help since truth be told, I don't think we've seen Hulk pushed to his limits yet.

I honestly think that the first part was/is a typo of some sort and that instead of Tony Stark, it's meant to be Hawkeye that may be a part of the triangle.

Though then again, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole idea. I don't think Bruce and the black Widow have ever been romantically involved in the comics together since they're not each other's type.

Plus, it may not be so much of a romantic bond that Bruce and the BW have but more of close friendship.

True. To challenge the big guy it gotta be a hell of a threat.

True. To challenge the big guy it gotta be a hell of a threat.

Indeed; I mean as far as I can recollect, Thor and Hulk were like the only two Avengers who weren't physically pushed to their limits by their villains in their respective films, and both were shown capable of defeating large armies on their own.

 

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah, Thor pretty much shrugged off anything that was thrown at him too.

 

[BigThor]

I agree. The SDCC poster made the Hulk look rather apelike and brutish. He looks better with more human features that mirror those of the actor playing him. It's easier to relate to a "human" Hulk and not see him as just a mindless monster with rage issues.

My thoughts exactly

Yeah, Thor pretty much shrugged off anything that was thrown at him too.

Yep, he sure did t:

Actually, Hulk got his ass kicked pretty good by Abomination, before he got mad.

 

[November Rain]

even when he did get mad, he went for a tap out rather than an all out victory

Yeah, Abomination was pretty bad @$$ himself.

the emphasis of highlighting strength across the entire marvel film universe has been somewhat dumbed down.

entire feats of strength include

rolling a table over
ripping a car in half
punching a punchbag off its chain
kicking a car away
catching a car
kicking a man into a tree (a kick that could have killed him)
throwing a guy from underwater up a story onto land
considering the greatest feat of strength we've seen in a superhero movie in recent years is supes carrying a city sized piece of kryptonite and flinging it into space, this is pretty miniscule.

if you consider the greatest feat ever shown with superman pushing the moon, it puts the acts of marvel's mightiest into a serious shadow cloud.

even so, i think strength scales will be kept very grounded in the avengers and we won't see anything that makes us think 'OOOOH WOW' strengthwise.

 

[Son of Coul]

People give way too much criticism to "feats of strength" and "epicness" of these movies. Yeah they're nice but I didn't care at all when Superman lifted the damn kryptonite mountain. And is blasting a giant hole in the back of a massive ice monster's head with one's SELF really "dumbed down"?

As for "it wasn't epic enough! Should've been more like Transformers," that argument sort of speaks for itself, doesn't it? Does every single one of these movies have to be about "SAVING THE UNIVERSE"? I liked that Thor took place in a tiny New Mexico town to contrast the vastness of Asgard. It kept the story focused on Thor and didn't have the same feel almost every other superhero movie has had in a big city like some so unwisely (I'd say) would rather it to be. We'll get some epic superhero movies in a pinch (The Avengers) that aren't the same lame "epic" movies people have wanted them to be like (Transformers, 2012, Independence Day, etc.)

Yeah it's kind of annoying, especially when you know heroes like Thor, Hulk, and even Iron Man are capable of lifting ALOT more than they've shown.

Would it be that hard to show Thor catching a falling Heli-carrier, Hulk keeping a building from falling, or Iron Man effortlessely tossing large vehicles in a 260 million dollar film? No, but odds are we won't be seeing them do anything remoltely close to that in this film (smh).

 

[Nathan]

I'm not really troubled by the demonstrated feats of strength in these Movies. I actually don't mind that it isn't too ridiculous. I still enjoyed the action. The last thing I want to see is Hulk leaping into orbit and crushing an asteroid the size of the earth with his fist.

Now that would be going too far, but he should be doing far more than what he did in TIH.

Especially when one of trailers called him the world's strongest superhero, or something along those lines.

In terms of these related Marvel Studio movies, I agree. However, Ang's Hulk was very strong. He was flinging tanks & taking direct tank shots (not to mention airstrikes & rockets), catching missiles, chewing off the warhead and spitting it through a chopper, before suplexing another one, riding a fighter jet to almost outerspace & surviving the subsequent fall, withstanding a Canyon being caved in on top of him, and surviving the huge bomb used to destroy him & his father at the end.

That whole sequence was pretty spectacular in terms of strength & endurance. Of course, it doesn't come close to what the Hulk's been capable of in the comics, but as far as movies go, it's pretty close to the top

It'd only be ridiculous if Hulk didn't have the springs attached to his feet while leaping into orbit, giving him the extra propulsion needed...otherwise it'd look REALLY dumb...

Basically keep them grounded enough for this flick that it's believable. Don't do all that planet shattering **** that some writers have done.

I would never watch if they did that crap.

I really really really hope there's a sequel to TIH. I have a good feeling about ruffalo but i hope everyone else feels the same way. hell i haven't seen the movie yet, but it's just a gut feeling.

Well, let's just hope that Ruffalo has better luck at being the third actor to portray a comic book hero on film than George Clooney did.lol

Agreed, TIH deserves a sequel. Bring on The Leader!
