What would you want to see in another Hulk movie?

[Ahura Mazda]

I would like to see an intelligent Hulk. I do not see how it can be otherwise coming after the Avengers. He should have his green scar persona.

 

[El Payaso]

But the pilot was one show of an ongoing saga. None of the examples I gave were campy or due to bad special effects, they were natural.

But what about the bear fight was hilarious? Other than the green make-up smeared all over the poor animal or the obvious fake bear.

Look I don't want a parody Hulk movie, and I don't want Hulk to be like the Spider-Man or even Iron Man movies, but humor can be present. nI think your' taking the 'tragic' line a little far. Both the comics and the show had a fair share of light heart-ed moments. I mentioned Aliens and Terminator because they have a serious tones, but had moments that made one LOL.

Again, humour can be present. My question always was why is it mandatory?

To me an intelligent Hulk and/or a Hulk who's part of a superhero team is like having a pink-dressed Batman who loves peace methods to reach its goals. I think the character is supposed to be precisely a brute who cannot understand the world.

Sorry, the fake bear was 'special effects crappy' funny, but also the fact Hulk threw him a mile.

As I mentioned humor breaks depressing moods in movies and refreshes audiences, especially when scripts have a lot going on.

... I want to see Mr. Fixit-- the Gray Hulk must be dealt with, and in a major way..

 

[Gamma Ra]

main villain- The Leader, and a monster like the Glob, Blip, or Missing Link..

and Jim Wilson as a buddy who helps him out..

I definitely want to see Leader, the others not so much for a movie. Like the movie Hulk, they don't had much in the way of personality.

I want Rock and Redeemer to be the Leader's muscle and for another movie the U-Foes. If any low intelligent foe what about Wendigo?

Intelligent Hulk please...

I hope Marvel Studio's gets the Hulk franchise on the right track. Hulk as a unique character has so much potential.

 

[chiefchirpa]

In my opinion Hulk needs to be a winter movie where competition is less numerous and moviegoers can be more immersed on the movie.

Because too much of ANYTHING is never a good idea. Humour is useful in punctuating a movie that otherwise might be too serious/depressing/tense(take your pick) for too long. You can't hammer an audience that way. They need some relief from time to time.

Grey Hulk started as a smart grey were-golliath with intent to kill at some points
Roger Stern wrote the green Hulk as a smart guy who does understand the world better than people give him to be, but speaks in third person and doesn't follow the same science his father has

 

[Obi-Ron]

doesn't follow the same science his father has

I'm not sure what you mean by this

Ok. Didn't think that was made for laughs.

Ah yes. My bad.

At least you assume the script will be depressing and woth a lot going on. That's a great start.

So when Dr. Banner pulse raises he turns into a... intelligent being who understands the world better than anyone... HULK!

 

[WildcatNC]

I'd like to see a slightly more in control Hulk. Hulk was never stupid in the past movies, just blinded by rage. In his calm moments he could make decisions and think.

They should just show that as Banner gets better at controlling and managing his anger, Hulk is able to direct his rage better and understand more complex things going on around him, even if he only talks in basic/simple phrases and words.

When not in a complete rage, he's not dumb. He just thinks on a more animal/cunning level with his human side seeing through a murky green lens of anger.

The bear scene got laughs from three of my friends the other day when I watched it.

That was the complaint I've heard most from friends about Ang's Hulk movie, that it just seemed depressing.

True the movies haven't shown Hulk as a complete rage-filled beast, but his level of reaction is still just a little better than an animal. I do like when the Hulk has gone ape-$#!+ in the movies but what the movies have failed to show is it's not just Betty that Hulk seeks companionship in, but he wants acceptance.

I know. I mean, it tends to do that.

That doesn't mean it was made for laughs.

Do your friends think that, say, Oedipus is too tragic and needs some comedy somewhere in between?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Bruce Banner

Don't exaggerate. Besides, even Shakespeare put jokes in his tragedies.

 

[kedrell]

What does Hulk have to do with Oedipus? I've read hundreds and hundreds of issues of The Incredible Hulk and I never once got THAT connection.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

The son wants to kill his pa

 

[wampa1]

Bring the Leader in and have some sort of manipulation storyline with the Hulk being framed for a disaster.

 

[El Payaso]

You missed when Ang Lee said that he envisioned Hulk as a Greek tragedy. So he made the movie consistently. Therefore the criticism of lack of humour is pointless; it was made like that on purpose.

Now it's me who doesn't get the connection between Hulk and Shakespeare.

I think this misconception hurts Hulk the most because for years he was more than a guy who could just say "Hulk Smash!" Peter David really developed the character far beyond that, and that's what I want to see instead of the same child like brute that we get. Green Scar is perfect because he's still a raging and angry big green guy, but he is still intelligent enough to plan and have a team.

No, it's not wrong because while Lee mentioned the Greek tragedy of Banner and the Hulk, he also mentions that he liked trying the "dorky humor" ala the bike helmet bit.

The humor that was in the film didn't work because it wasn't very good and humor does serve a purpose in any work, even dramatic pieces, because of it's effect on the audience to re-focus on the film as it keeps the tempo steady.

Sure, we can have an intelligent Hulk and we can have a vengeful Superman or a campy Batman. It's a matter of taste. But I'd have sworn Hulk was meant to be Banner's opposite; brute, unintelligent, instinctive and primitive.

Variations of the character throughout time - successful or not - are just that; variations.

Just cite any other example of humour. Besides the helmet bit and the Nolte's "Nyaaa-gaha-nya-ha" at the end, there's not much humour in the movie.

 

[gmanca]

The line after the exploding frog "Do you wanna go to the review board and tell them we found a new way of exploding a frog" and the way Lucas was tossed about like a rag doll are some others.

I mentioned before that there wasn't much humor and what there was wasn't great. I can see the idea of any humor being cut, which would explain why the majority of deleted scenes are of the humor-kind but seeing as how there is humor in the film, I consider the explanation of the cut scenes not being funny as the reason.

 

[8Diagrams(WU)]

I like the take they have on the Avengers cartoon show. He is far from a brute. The Hulk is angry but he makes heroic choices and can comunicate with other characters. He can also stay still and in control. Also is in constant discussion with Banner for control. Its a perfect take on the character imo
