Speaking of the 2nd Hulk out....it's up on youtube.
 
I don't know if I am imagining this but

Isn't there a picture of Mark Ruffalo in an interview playing with one of the Hulk figures?

In the EW interview, he was cited as using his Hulk figurine to HULK SMASH the tinier toys.
 
The previous two films stand up as projects-- 1st one was too ponderous.. 2nd one had solid action but not enough exposition..

Ruffalo deserves an Oscar for his portrayal here. He reminds me of Jeff Goldblum in the Fly.. tortured scientist, low-key but barely keeping it together..

I suggest more Hulk-- or hey, just Banner-- appearances in future Marvel films, he can be a strategic guest star.
 
A long while ago I said on the boards that hulk sounded like he was saying something in the trailers when you see him smashing the alien into the wall it was a yell but different then te roar and yeah it's funny because I can hear it in the earlier trailer or tv spits but the theatre was too loud and I got stuck in the row behind the first row it sucked

I think Tom Hiddleston was more low-key.

It could work, Hypestyle.:up:
 
Is that video of the Hulk that Tony's staring at from TIH? I don't remember that in the movie.

I would definitely like to see on what kind of chemistry the two would have on screen if Liv Tyler ever returned for the role. Plus, it'd help bridge the connection between TIH and TA even more. It was interesting though, that out of the four main Avengers, only Bruce's LI was the one that didn't get any mention or reference in any way.lol
 
The Incredible Hulk sticks out like a sore thumb in the franchise. Not only the fact that Ruffalo replaced Norton, but their hulks are completely different in design and personality. The only thing connecting TIH to The Avengers is Stark's appearance at the end, otherwise, it feels like it doesn't fit in with the rest, you know?

I didn't really care for TIH, so I almost want to discount it from The Avengers canon and consider it stand alone. I know it is apart of the canon, but it doesn't feel like it.
 
I was surprised at how many references to TIH there were in this movie. I kind of expected them to sweep it underneath the rug after Norton got recast, but not so.
 
Yeah I could think of a few. Such as:
"Last time I was in New York I kind of Broke Harlem"
"I reached a low, put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out."
And then Widow mentions how Shield has kept the military off of his tail for a while.

Definitely agree, it certainly lacked the energy and fun of the other Marvel studios films.

It's been a while since I've seen TIH, but I don't remember this occuring in the film?
 
it was there.

Okay but what scene? That doesn't look like the campus attack scene at all.

Edit: On closer inspection I can see that it says Culver University backwards on the screen. Hulk just looks different from how he did in that scene to me.

I really don't like The Incredible Hulk, which is why I'm hoping MS moves forward with a Ruffalo-starring Hulk movie.

The Hulk acted different because of the different amount of control that Banner had. I see that as much needed development.

Also his origin not to mention Blomsky's is directly tied to the super soldier program.
 
How did Iron Man get pictures and footage of Captain America from the 1940's in color?

In some ways, it feels almost as disjointed as the last two batman films were to Tim Burton's first two; where while the design, most of the cast, and tone of the films after Burton's were completely different, they were still a part of that continuity.

Or heck, a better example would even be on how SR is supposed to be treated as a sequel to S:TM (SII not so much)

And yeah, TIH is like the sore thumb in the MCU, it's like the only film not mentioned whenever someone official recounts the success of previous Marvel films, and it was the one to perform the lowest at Theaters and receive the lowest score on RT as well. Not to mention that out of all of the films going into TA, the events of TIH had the least impact in how the events of TA started out with.

I was surprised at how many references to TIH there were in this movie. I kind of expected them to sweep it underneath the rug after Norton got recast, but not so.

Yeah, I remember Feige saying not too long ago that despite Mark having replaced Ed, that TIH is still very much in canon with the MCU and that Mark's Bruce is still the same Bruce that underwent that experience.

Heck, in some ways, if you weren't a fan of TIH's take of the Hulk, you could easily ignore it from your memory when watching TA, or if you're one of those who enjoy continuity, there's still room to trace them back to each other.

Avengers began with the premise that the audience and characters knew each separate back story. Without TIH, Widow and Stark's reaction to Banner/Hulk wouldn't have made sense. Trying to retell the Hulk's origin a 3rd time during Avengers would have wasted time as well.

Definitely agree, it certainly lacked the energy and fun of the other Marvel studios films.

TIH wasn't as good as the Iron Man flicks, but it was on par with Thor and definitely better than Captain America.
