The Avengers The Official 'Hulk in Avengers' thread.

[FrostBite]

Ehhhhhhhhh not exactly.

Nobody is saying have him hulked out the entire film. He could be placed very strategically.....but obviously that would mean a limited capacity role. In a film with as many heroes as they have, I don't really even think it's that big of an issue if he doesn't have a big role.....just enough to incorporate him.

Then... yes, that is exactly what I said in "A". He's in it just to smash crap then. He's become an extended cameo. He's a nod. He's splashed in. He'd be the hint of mint in a cup of hot co-co. I don't want that.
Even if it's "smart Hulk" it'd just be him going "Sup guys? Watch me punch stuff!" -smashes- "Laterz!"

If he's "strategically" placed with a limited role, I say don't do it. If you are going to give him or anyone else nothing more than a bit part, leave him them the **** out. This is an Avengers film, as such, each Avenger should be highlighted and move the plot along. This should be about their interactions with each other.

If they can't do that balancing act, then I say cut down on the number of Avengers. There are too many fans for each of these characters for anyone to end up with too a limited role... strategically placed or not.

^ Yep.

Bruce Banner needs to be the Andy Garcia, or even the Julia Roberts, of the Avengers movie. In the top four or five characters with the most screen time. Not the Casey Affleck. That's Ant-Man and Wasps' jobs. At least for the first movie.

Because we all know the Hulk doesn't last on the Avengers roster for very long.

And it's Edward Norton for cryin' out loud!

 

[Voorhees]

If Ed Norton is returning, I'd really be anxious to see more Banner.

 

[Anubis Raptor]

This is basically the thread were Hulk fans like myself (to be honest, he is the only reason I am looking forward to this movie) can come to discuss, debate, and talk about Hulk's role in the upcoming Avengers movie.

It is here to people can discuss anything regarding the Hulk character and what his role will be or what you want it to be. So go ahead Hulk fans, and discuss.

I agree with you AVEIT. Hulk and a few of the other Avengers are the only reason I'm so desperately looking forward to this film.

 

[Voorhees]

Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man are the only reasons I'm looking forward to this. This film could end up extremely well done, I hope they don't drop the ball.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I agree with Vorhees. I will however caveat my anticipation until I see the IM2, CapAmer and Thor movies first.

 

[Obi-Ron]

I have to admit it will be nice to see the REAL "Big 3" Avengers together again - not this "Bucky America" nonsense. Hopefully Cap comes back in the comics in time for his movie. The Wasp too.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Isn't he supposed to be back in 2010?

 

[[A]]

I say.. if the Hulk is back, he won't be having the final scene/battle. Iron Man will (and/or Captain America and/or Thor, depending on how they do in the BO)

 

[Obi-Ron]

I'm guessing Cap will be the main focus, like Wolvie in the X movies. But yeah, it all depends on who's most popular.

 

[[A]]

I don't see RDJ giving away one bit of a leading role

 

[irapogi]

ironman and cap will be leads

ala clooney pitt oceans

i think.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I definitely think Tony & Steve will be the two main characters.

 

[Chewy]

Cap is going to be the lead

Stark will be the Bert to Cap's Ernie

Thor will be their Rubber Duckie

 

[FrostBite]

Cap is going to be the lead

Stark will be the Bert to Cap's Ernie

Thor will be their Rubber Duckie

...Cap is far more Bert. And the Pym's will be his paperclip collection.

 

[weezerspider]

It's no offense to you as we are all allowed to think what we want and I am not specifically calling you out--but I still think this is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.

This would mean either:

A) Hulk is barely in it except for to smash crap. (Yay. )

or

B) We get a walking talking Hulk running around completely controlled by Banner and completely killing any little conflict for his character. That's it. Hulk/Banner is essentially God at this point. He can control it, he can't be stopped, bad guys lose. (Yippee.)

and most definitely

C) You are asking us to stare at just a computer generated character for the entire movie. As if Hulk in both '03 and '08 didn't have consistency issues in the first place. (As did Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen.)

No... just no. Recast the guy if you can't get him, but to throw out the character, the heart and soul of the Hulk/Banner relationship by completely eliminating Banner from the mix is just a terrible idea to me.

This movie needs to be a story about all of the Avengers and their interactions with each other... not "Lolz, let's throw a bunch of heroes in there just for the fun of it!" Hulk needs a reason to be there, he needs a conflict (or to cause one), he needs a purpose. As someone else said, don't let this become an X-men with one or two stars and the others just being extended cameos.

No Offense taken and you bring up some good points, but honestly, I believe Hulk could be a HULK SMASH Character in Avengers and thats it and he will play his part.

 

[[A]]

I really wanna see a 3-way loud argument between Stark, Banner and Rogers --and then someone leaving the room, pissed, breaking sometihng

 

[co2]

...Cap is far more Bert. And the Pym's will be his paperclip collection.

haha! That dumb analogy got even funnier.

 

[Obi-Ron]

I thought Bert had a bottle cap collection?

 

[Shivsguy616]

Whatever his role, his cgi needs to be much better than TIH's.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Whatever his role, his cgi needs to be much better than TIH's.

It was better than the CGI in Hulk.

 

[Shivsguy616]

It was better than the CGI in Hulk.

Not really, just a better design. Anyway, that's besides the point. It basically has to be up to Iron Man standards so that it won't look out of place.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I agree with you AVEIT. Hulk and a few of the other Avengers are the only reason I'm so desperately looking forward to this film.

Agreed, he will be the only reason I watch it to be honest, so his rle will need to be significant. I want Banner in this as well as Hulk.

Considering Hulk was 5 years earlier, it was no were near better in TIH.

I wouldn't expect it to be huge sadly. Let's not forget Ave... Hulk does tend to get shafted quite a bit when it comes to movies. Whether at the Box Office, the fans, the general publics receptions of his films, or heck, his parent company caring so much about him they signed on Zak Penn to write his movie, and then cut out most of the character development... nice.

Wait... they signed Penn to write Avengers too didn't they?! We need Norton! Rewrite it! Rewriteee!!!!!!

I know what you mean FB, but surely Hulk is one of the main draws here? I suppose it depends on the success of Captain America and Thor, if both of those movies are more successful than TIH was, I think we are in for dissapointment when it comes to Hulk's role in Avengers.
