The Avengers The Official 'Hulk in Avengers' thread.

[ArtTeacher]

I could very clearly see Norton's features in TIH.

Say what?

 

[TX85]

Say what?

Even IF that Hulk's face was based on Norton's feature....I think it can still pass for Ruffalo's face feature a bit!.

Either way,I think they will keep the same Hulk design or atleast very similar to it,IF so....This makes me even more ok with the new casting cause then Hulk will still have continuity to the character model itself and Ruffalo will most likely have small screen time as Bruce and even then....Ruffalo can loose some weight and so atleast then only face&voice will be the most off-note from Bruce Banner continuity!.

 

[Original Spawn]

I think that the face seems more like ruffalu´s face than norton´s face

 

[Norm3]

The Hulks features are based on the CB not Nortons. They did this on purpose. It was reported years ago that they didn't want the Hulk to look like whatever current actor was playing the part because they knew it would be different people over time. Bana was the first & last time they went the other way & it was Ang Lee who decided it. They gave him to much creative control & you see what happened.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Am i the only one who liked the hulk in the first movie better?
I don't think Edward Norton should have played the hulk. I'm sorry, but Eric Bana was much better.

Looking forward to seeing him (Hulk) in the Avengers though!

No, you arent the only one, Hulk looked much better in the 2003, or at least, the CGI did, I do like the design of the 2008 one though.

Bana was easily as good as Norton in the role, but Bana got A LOT more to work with, all of Norton's best scenes were cut out.

But overall, I and a lot of people prefer the 2003 Hulk to the new one.

 

[Norm3]

Well I own TIH on blueray not the Hulk. I wish Bana & Connelly were in TIH & i'd be super happy.

 

[terry78]

2003 Hulk had more detail and emotion, 2008 Hulk was bigger and more ripped, and basically LOOKED more dangerous.

 

[ArtTeacher]

But overall, I and a lot of people prefer the 2003 Hulk to the new one.

In 7 years I've never met anyone who liked the 2003 at all, much less better than the 2008 version.

 

[Norm3]

I agree. There's small cult following online. Ang Lee gushers. Ang Lee had no clue about the Hulk. 15 ft anyone!

 

[TX85]

I love BOTH designs!,For Avengers though....I much prefer latest one cause of my enjoyment and cause makes more sense obviously story-wise!.

 

[Silver Knight]

I think Hulk will have much shorter hair in the Avengers.

 

[Ipodman]

2003 Hulk had more detail and emotion, 2008 Hulk was bigger and more ripped, and basically LOOKED more dangerous.

Yea the 2008 version looked more realistic too. The 2003 Hulk looked like a piece of jelly walking around

 

[Docker2.0]

In 7 years I've never met anyone who liked the 2003 at all, much less better than the 2008 version.

Hahaha! Agreed! I thought maybe it was a typo and I was seeing thing but I haven't met a single soul who prefered Lee's Hulk over Letterier.

 

[Silver Knight]

In 7 years I've never met anyone who liked the 2003 at all, much less better than the 2008 version.

Agreed.

 

[Ipodman]

There ARE people who liked either movie.

 

[TheBeastWithin]

Whoever is doing the design work and CGI on Avengers' Hulk really needs to step it up and put their stamp on the character visually, since that is, and was the biggest gripe by moviegoers for both films. Avengers' Hulk should make people forget about what's come before or at least render them obsolete. This is especially true if Hulk will be sharing the screen with IM, Thor, and Cap. Man I can't wait for this movie.

 

[Avengers-Report]

I cannot wait either. Hopefully the Hulk has a role as a villain in the movie and his features can be more brutal and savage.

 

[Stripesy Strip]

2003 Hulk had more detail and emotion, 2008 Hulk was bigger and more ripped, and basically LOOKED more dangerous.

The second Hulk was not bigger. Also he may have been angrier but he didn't look more dangerous. It's like he was whining a lot, like an emo teen. He got his butt handed to him by Abomination and only a chain saved him. The first was this gigantic force of nature.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Then you need to meet more people, I know just as many who prefer Hulk over TIH as I do vice-versa and thats not on this forum.

As for this forum, I point you to this thread:

Ang Lee had no clue? There were more stuff from the comics in Hulk than there was in TIH, TIH followed the TV series more than the comics and the TV series was hardly faithful.

And i'm no Ang Lee gusher, Hulk is the only movie of his I have ever liked.

Definately, the Hulk in Hulk seemed a lot more powerful as well, TIH struggled to lift a Humvy, 2003 Hulk was throwing tanks around like they were nothing.

 

[Cracker Jack]

That got tired after fighting three ganna dogs. And one was a Poodle! BWHAHAHAHAHA. Hulk was Ang Lee and James Shamus s/p? take on The Hulk that missed the mark trying to explain everything and put people to sleep. You know us Hulk fans can't concentrate that long. We just wanted Hulk Smash.

A gigantic force of nature?
A gigantic force of nature that got knocked out by some dad-turned jellyfish?
Whiskey.
Tango.
Foxtrot?

I've never understood the people that said the 2008 Hulk was weaker than the 2003 one. Just because he wasn't shown lifting a tank doesn't mean he couldn't. Honestly, I think the Abomination would have eaten Ang's Hulk for breakfast. Can you see Tim Roth's Abomination having trouble with Gamma Poodles? And as far as the 2003 Hulk being able to jump further than the 2008 Hulk, they simply chose not to show the Hulk jump for miles, since that is one of the things people laughed at during the 2003 Hulk. Ed Norton's Banner ended up in another country after he Hulked out. What--do you think the Hulk hitchhiked to another land? Jogged? Took a cab?

We saw the incredible Hulk get more angry and physically overpower the Abomination. Then--he ripped one of the Abomination's bones out of his body and stabbed him with it. Let me say that again--he stabbed the Abomination with one of his own bones. Oh, hell yeah!
Ang's Hulk...looked at moss a lot.

Then you need to meet more people, I know just as many who prefer Hulk over TIH as I do vice-versa and thats not on this forum.

That's great.
Go to any mall, amusement park, or general gathering of people. Ask a perfect stranger if they liked the 2003 Hulk movie.
See what happens.
I'm not saying they're aren't people that liked it, I'm saying every single person I have ever asked (and--being a Hulk fan, it comes up a lot), gladly tells me how much they hated the 2003 Hulk movie.
It's much more often than not that I hear, "Worst movie ever made".

Yes, I've seen that thread. And what percentage of posts are yours?

Listen, I'm glad you liked it. I really am. Heck, I wish *I* would have liked it--it would have made the 5 years between 2003 and 2008 a lot better for me.

But I don't want to turn this thread into an Ang VS. Norton fest.
Ruffalo is the current Banner...let's stay positive, move forward, and continue discussing "The Hulk in Avengers".

Cheers.

I too got the idea that the '08 version was weaker...true or not. It just seemed that way. Maybe it was the jumping thing. But good point about how TIH demonstrated that the Hulk gets stronger as he gets angrier. I do wish one of the characters had pointed that one out as it was happening to make it more clear.

People laughing at the jumping was another reason I put on my list to hate the TV show. It's that show's fault people thought the Hulk was supposed to jog away. Spider-Man was lucky, his horrible 70s TV show failed to garner enough ratings to stay on the air and cement a bunch of wrong ideas into the public consciousness. (Not that the Hulk TV show actually had great ratings or anything)

Man do I miss your wit.

(And a big Hi to my man, Cracker Jack!)

You said you'd never tell.

I agree let's get back on track. Norton is out and Ruffalo is in. It could be worst, the Hulk could be out and that would suck big time. Even though I'm not all the excited about the change at least The Hulk still has a future and I gotta think that Ruffalo would sign on without geting him own chance at a Hulk movie.

TIH Hulk struggled lifting a humvy, which wouldnt even be a quarter of the weight of the tanks in Hulk, not to mention Blonsky gave Hulk a really good fight with just a little of the serum in him.

The 3 dogs were gamma powered and very strong themselves, doesnt matter what type of dog they were.

And anyway, how the hell are you CJ?

We saw Ang's Hulk getting stronger the madder he got as well, he just got bigger as well (which admittedly he shouldnt of)

Ang's Hulk performed much bigger feats of strength and endurance than TIH, the tanks Hulk was tossing around in Ang's movie weigh 70 tons, and he tossed them about very easily. TIH Hulk struggled with armoured humvy which would weigh around 5 tons, and had to protect himself with metal shields from grenades and gun-fire, heck, even a 9mm handgun hurt him!

TIH Hulk was taking 50-cals and machine gun fire and it hurt him, 'Hulk' Hulk took missiles, tank shells, mini-guns from jets and choppers (which are bigger than 50 cals), a freaking cluster bomb, a gamma charge, not to mention survived a fall from the stratosphere and being thrown back to earth from the clouds by his father. Also, David never knocked Hulk out, he froze him.

I'm sorry, but TIH Hulk just doesnt compare to Ang's Hulk in terms of strength an edurance.

That's great.

I go to many places, and discuss movie with many people, both strangers and friends, I have heard plenty say they love one over the other, but never heard of one dominating the other in that regard. I have also met plenty of people who enjoyed both equally.

Yes, I've seen that thread. And what percentage of posts are yours?

I'm just glad its made, because I feel TIH will be scooped under the carpet somewhat by Marvel, I will always have Hulk there too enjoy on its own.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

not to mention Blonsky gave Hulk a really good fight with just a little of the serum in him.

I wouldn't call dancing around until Hulk is pissed & then getting violently planted into the side of a tree a good fight. Not if you're Blonsky, anyway.

I'm sorry, but TIH Hulk just doesnt compare to Ang's Hulk in terms of strength an edurance.

And bright greenness.
