The Avengers The Official 'Hulk in Avengers' thread.

[TheVileOne]

What an empty and meaningless statement, considering that your own position comes from what's "on the internet" anyway.


I'm inclined to believe there's more to this than either party is suggesting; I find it difficult to believe that Feige would make such unprofessional comments out of nowhere, but at the same time all indications are that Norton was on board with what Whedon had in mind for the production.

No it doesn't liar.

I'm simply not letting the opinions and "public" statements of others dictating my viewpoint.

Also what is unprofessional about Feige's comments?

Was it not unprofessional that Norton publicly distanced himself from Incredible Hulk and refused to promote the movie as the movie's star?

 

[TheWrathOfGod]

All of this is a public disinformation campaign by Marvel and Norton to make it a bigger surprise when they all come on stage at SDCC. I guarantee that when they have the actors on stage they will say, "and the role of the Bruce Banner goes to... Robert Pattinson!" Then Edward Norton rips down a facade and goes on stage about to Hulk out about the casting. He will say, "don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when i'm angry." Huge applause and everyone remembers it as the highpoint of the convention.

 

[FaT_tONle]

You guys are acting surprised???? Please tell me you are not that naive... is there any reason to believe such a conversation was falsified? Feige has gone on record saying he'd like to bring back all the actors. There is no reason to believe Feige didn't make those comments. Once they started negotiating, Feige then decided it wasn't worth it, and for whatever reason, threw Norton under the bus for **** that happened in 2008. Yeah, Norton's comments since didn't help, but were no where near as disparaging as Feige's comments.

 

[TheVileOne]

Feige's comments aren't disparaging at all.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Feige's comments aren't disparaging at all.

And Sam Raimi should direct the movie....

 

[TheVileOne]

And Sam Raimi should direct the movie....

Sam Raimi > Joss Whedon.

More experienced. Academy Award nominated. Directed among the most popular and profitable comic book superhero movies ever.

Whedon's only directing credit = Serenity.

 

[TheVileOne]

Just confirms my posts about Fiege being a *****e bag little b***.

F- him, F- him and his mother.

Reported.

 

[Grommers]

LOL, I don't get what was defamatory from fieges comments..

he just stated norton doesn't fit in.

Clearly there was a lot more discussion during the contract negotiations.

and I bet Ed Norton wasnt budging from his take on the $$.

And my money is on marvel for doing the right thing now, guy quite clearly has power struggle issues, wanted to trap marvel into a ridiculous amount of $$ (Hence why he even mentions financial, if it wasn't financial he wouldn't of mentioned it). And figured he could get it since I mean, why would marvel want to ruin a movie they've been setting up for how many years?

Ed Nortons a dick head, and always will be a dick head to me..

Except to the kids he helps out in those smaller countries, props to him for that.

Only whiny fanboys with a keyboard whine about this. This won't keep people or fanboys from seeing the movie. No matter how much they whine.

If this was happening with Downey then yes there would be big problems right now.

As far as i'm concerned Serenity was just spectacular. Many of his comics and TV shows have been praised by the sci-fi/comic book community.

 

[TheVileOne]

LOL COMIC BOOKS AND TV SHOWS! Neither of which are anywhere close to doing a $200 million big tentpole movie.

Yeah, you've made your points Vile...I think we all get where you're coming from...
Now you want to report the guy above because he got intense? You're not stiring the pot or anything are you?

Maybe not...maybe so...but he has had experience with writing, so he probably understands the universe and how it works.

You call us whiners, yet you're whining about us.

 

[Khemik@L]

This whole situation is weird. Somebody is not telling us something. One things for certain I'm do not envy anyone that will be on the Marvel Panel at ComicCon.

 

[Showtime]

Let's pump the brakes a bit in this thread.

 

[TheVileOne]

It's fine to get intense but if you are going to curse a guy and his mother, I'm going to report it. It is inappropriate.

 

[Showtime]

Guys you don't know Feige and Norton personally, so let's not make this personal.

It was painfully obvious for a very long time Norton wasn't going to be in Avengers as Hulk, I'm not sure why this is causing such heated debate about who was in the wrong. Seems that both parties are sick of each other.

 

[FaT_tONle]

Great... but where he Vile reporting people on Rothman when the vulgar language is abound? Nothing against anyone's mothers, but maybe the complainers are just really annoying you. Just ignore it.

Errr... back to topic.

It seems to me the more I mull this over that Ed Norton may be to hollywood what Terrell Owens is to the NFL. Great talent but not worth the grief. Better for Marvel to cut bait now then disrupt chemistry on set.

 

[Ipodman]

Can Edward Norton at least make a cameo... please?

^ Bingo.

I wish, I really wish.

 

[Ipodman]

It's Stan Lee's "fault" really...

Didn't he say he wanted another Hulk reboot?

And the King gets what he wants.

 

[Showtime]

It's the fault of both Hulk movies under-performing really. It's not like there would be high demand for Norton in The Avengers. The general public doesn't care. Only fans would.
