Which Hulk Is Stronger? (2008 or 2003)

[Savage]

ok you keep asking me how old i am and your the one thats acting like a little kid, if you dont care so much they why reply, why dont you just leave it alone, and are you stupid or just not paying attention im arguing with you savage, its good to hear you liked the movie but everytime someone says o i hate 03 hulk you jump on them like a cat on a mouse just relax, not everybody has to agree with you.

You're the one who's not listening (or reading properly in this case). I must have said like THREE TIMES that I don't care if you think the 03 version sucks. You're not the first person you say that and you're certainly not the only one. When you say things like hulk is fat or hulk is weaker or hulk is blue I'm going to argue against it because I don't see how you can possibly be seeing that. Are you skimming my posts and just reading what you want to read or something?

And woah woah woah. Who else have I jumped on for not liking the 03 Hulk? I must have been sleeptyping or something. Where did you see this?

I question your age because you're acting like some short sighted 14 year old kid that only sees what they want to see and everything is black and white. If I like the new Hulk then I can't possibly like the old Hulk. If someone says something I disagree with then that must mean I'm jumping on them for not liking what I like. Can you even read cohesively?

size doesnt matter, did you see how hulk strangles abomination look me in the eye and tell 03 hulk would be smart enough to do that

Wow. Just...show me where I said that size matters...

I have to go with 03 purely on the tank scene alone. A humvee is no where near as heavy as a tank.

You go through all that effort to put thos muscles on him but make him not as strong as 03? Crazy.

08 was a better movie though.

This Hulk's more of a fighter, where '03 Hulk just did what he had to do to get away, '08 Hulk is gonna chase you across campus and kick you into a coma once he's pissed off...

I like it that hes not exactly as strong as 03...adds more struggle to him as a "hero"...fits for a better movie imo...

Excuse me? Are you calling Hulk a coward? Didn't he take on mutant poodles just so he could protect Betty?

 

[Kirmit]

No that's not what he was saying, I think he's saying the new hulk would welcome a fight whereas Ang's hulk would do his best to avoid one.

I got the feeling in HULK that the military only annoyed hulk, but their weren't a threat, hulk just wanted to be alone, and thats why he keept running away, not wanting to hurt anyone

it seems like the only ones he feel he need to fight were the mutated dogs and his dad at the end

-btw why people says about the new movie that it was good to finnaly see the hulk talking... didn't Ang's hulk talked twice in the movie?, he even delivered one of his trademark lines)

 

[LadyVader]

That makes me laugh. Hulk would do his best to avoid a fight!? I agree he's smarter than 08 Hulk, but if something makes Bana-Banner angry, than that something would get his ass kicked by the Hulk. It's not like Banner hulkifies and then Hulk looks at the perp with big anime eyes and says: "Why can't we be friends?"

Hulk '03 is still driven by emotion, moreso than Hulk '08. Like i said, he's smarter and he probably won't go after any one who doesn't intentionally piss him off, but a pacifist he ain't.

The fight against his father had this old quarrel between them going on.

But the rest was pure Hulk: he doesn't want to destroy things and beings as much as he wants to protect himelf and people he loves. He had to fight the dogs because they were after Betty and then he destroyed tanks and helicopters because they wouldn't leave him alone. Just like in the comics Hulk wonders why don't humans leave him alone.

2008 Hulk talked just as much as 2003 Hulk. Much to my luck. I was afraid Betty and Hulk were going to have a nice chat in the cave. Luckily enough Hulk remained being what he is: a rageous monster. His rock against the thunder was so much better than any dialogue.

I don't think the new hulk is weaker, I don't think he'll do any feats like throwing a tank though.

Throwing a 72 ton M1 Abrams a literally a couple miles is insane. The 2008 Hulk didn't perfom any feats such as that. Or outrun helicopters. I do think the Hulk bullrushing the tank and bodyslamming the helicopter in the 2003 Hulk is as good as any action in the 2008 Hulk.

Hulk in '03 was doing his best to avoid fights, that was clearly obvious, the only time he fought was when he was trying to get away and the military wouldn't let him. He didn't run from the dogs because he was trying to protect betty but had she not been there he would've definately tried to avoid the fight. New hulk embraced the battle with the military, he didn't run, he took them on headfirst and stomped on them, the same with the final fight, he went in there for a fight because the new hulk is a fighter.

I would not say '03 was driven by more emotion that '08, if anything it was the other way around and I wouldn't say he was smarter either.

That's what I said , postitions in this movie didn't arrise for hulk to throw a tank a mile or outrun helicopters, does that mean this hulk couldn't so it? Certainly not.

can you imagine:

"HULK HATES BRIGTH LIGHT!" "HULK WANTS LOUD NOICE TO GO AWAY!"

I think about movies: If you don't see it on screen, then it doesn't exist/happened

That can't really apply to hulk though, since the madder he gets the stronger he gets, so basically anything is possible with him.

Hulk in '03 was doing his best to avoid fights, that was clearly obvious, the only time he fought was when he was trying to get away and the military wouldn't let him.

As I recall, he wanted to get to San Francisco and the military were standing between him and Betty so he kicked their asses.

He didn't run from the dogs because he was trying to protect betty but had she not been there he would've definately tried to avoid the fight.

The dogs were sent after Betty. They weren't sent after him. Without Betty there, there would be no dogs.

New hulk embraced the battle with the military, he didn't run, he took them on headfirst and stomped on them, the same with the final fight, he went in there for a fight because the new hulk is a fighter.

1. On the college campus he was cornered and then Emil went in after him. It's not like he saw the soldiers coming from ten miles away and decided: "Well, might as well bust some heads!". And 2., Hulk being a fighter or not has everything to do with Banner's state at the time of his transformation. Every Hulk is a fighter because every Hulk is born out of rage and anger... except 08 who could be born out of hornyness.

I would not say '03 was driven by more emotion that '08

Hulk 03 emerged only when Banner was angry/furious/frustrated. Hulk 08 appeared whenever his pulse was too high. Emotion was part of it, but not the main part. It was more a physical reaction.


, if anything it was the other way around and I wouldn't say he was smarter either.

Well this is debatable, but given that Hulk 03 is actually an aspect of Banners's personality, whereas Hulk 08 is Banner on a massive acid trip mentally speaking, i'd say that Hulk 03 is smarter because he retains much more of Banner's original personality and intelligence.

From what I have read, they didn't adressed that in the movie, or was at least noticeable

I don't know, there were points in the movie when he did seem to get stronger but it wasn't anger as much as it was determination. At least that's the feeling i got.

....I really need to see this movie...

 

[Kirmit]

He still was trying to avoid the fight, it's not like he was on a timeframe to get to betty.

It's a whatif scenario, if the dogs were there and betty wasn't hulk wouldn't of stayed about to fight.

1. He went after blonsky and the army, he wasn't trying to get away even though he clearly could've at any point. When Blonsky ran, Hulk ran after him, he wanted to fight, plain and simple. 2. I don't think Hulk's tranformation circumstances have anything to do if he wanrs a fight or not, anytime he gets to come out he's going to smash something or take out someone.

I think you're wrong about '03 hulk being an aspect of bana and so being smarter. I'm pretty sure they said in the movie hulk was a seperate personality, born when bruce was born but kept locked away until the gamma pulse or whatever it was let him free. That's why his dad said the hulk was his real son and also explains the whole mirror scene.

Yes there were atleast 2 occasions in the film that showed this clearly. I'll stick in spoilers for you

Spoiler

One, when the sonic canons are pounding on hulk, he hears betty, gets angrier and overcomes the the sonic waves. Two, in the abomb fight, hulk is basically done for, Abomb is way stronger and has hulk pinned down, hulk sees betty in trouble, gets angrier and manages to overpower the much stronger abomb.

'03 banner said that he could feel what the hulk felt (I think he was somewho aware of what was happenig when he was hulk), and that he was starting to like how having that much power and freedom felt


and about '08 hulk, I guess he keep figthing abom because he was still a threat

Don't mind the spoilers they keep me going until I can see the moviet:

Banner was basically ringside to the hulks fights, he was there but wasn't in control, the hulk was in control finally after all those years of him being the one stuck inside while banner had full control.
