Just because he said he didn't like Hulk talking in the comics doesn't make him ignorant.

Saying "having Hulk talk is supid becuase Hulk never talks" would be ignorant. Saying he doesn't like how Hulk talks in the comics is an opinion, you can disagree with that opinion, but that doesn't make his opinion any more wrong or ignorant then yours.

My point was given what he said, he still thought the Hulk was still talking like the typical Savage hulk babytalk. Which he hasn't done regularly (in his own title) since about 1983-84. So I was not being ignorent, I was pointing out much needed information.
 
I definitely wanna hear 'HULK SMASH' and 'PUNY HUMANS'.
For the record I thought the 'PUNY HUMAN' in HULK/2003 was cool.

I agree. A lot of people didn't like it, but I thought the voice and everything was good, he said it more in a pissed off manner rather than child-like. It was almost like he was angry that Banner was inside of him, or else he would've had more strength to hold on to the jet. He sounded good to me, and I wouldn't be upset if we got something similar...
 
I want Hulk to speak at least a little. Heck, just one "Hulk smash!" would be enough for me. That was the only thing I didn't like about the 2003 Hulk. He never said "Hulk Smash". The opportunity was right there, and they missed it. Ah, well. Can't change the past.
 
HULK has to speak... Depth and believability. It has to sound right. Ang Lee HULK was WAY too normal sounding voice. HULK should sound like a friggin' death metal singer X10!!!

DEEP Gravely AND POWERFUL!!! To the effect of the T-Rex off of Jurassic Park type of power...

I've said this before but hey, new thread!
 
I've yet to vote and appearantly "The Hulk verbalises 'Hulk, Smash!' and such..." is taking the lead. I don't know about this. There's a difference between reading it in a comic and hearing it out loud. If they can find a way to make it sound cool, way to go. Until then I'm doubtful.
 
No way he has to bark his classic catchphrases- 'HULK SMASH!!!!', 'PUNY HUMANS!!!!' plus stuff like 'LEAVE HULK ALONE'.
 
The thing is, will he refer to himself as Hulk? Does he even call himself that when he's in that state? Maybe Banner refers to himself like that and it sticks when he's in Hulk form, or the media dubs him Hulk and he hears it so much he starts to call himself that.
 
Ok, i´m just saying this only once, then i´m out of here.
There are 4 pages of replies and not even one got it right, and it´s funny how there is a poster asking if anyone has read Hulk is the last couple of years....well, have you?
And when i ask if you have is actually read it and understand it, not just look at the pretty pictures.

To answer the thread at hand, yes, Hulk should talk.
And yes, he should say things like HULK SMASH and PUNY HUMANS, and not be sarcastic like in the recent comics (which i don´t read for sometime now).
And before someone says that it´s how he talks now, i can´t care less, he could quote shakespeare for all i care.
First, you have to realise that Hulk wasn´t created today, he has gone a long way until being sarcastic and whatnot.
Second, you have to ask yourself what does the GREEN Hulk represents and why does he screams stuff like PUNY HUMANS.
Answer this and you get you answer to the thread....




Ok, i´ll give you a hand.
The Green Hulk represents Banner´s inner child, his repressed emotions when he was 6 or 7, when his mother was murdered.
Have you ever seen a angry child?
He will scream at you and growl, say short and simple sentences, not be sarcastic about it.
That´s why Hulk smashes, because that´s what a child does when angry.
Now, multiply that by Hulk´s strenght and monstrosity and do the math ;)
 
I have a feeling that we might see a Hulk Smash! there.
 
This should be a no brainer: He should definitely talk. No version of the Hulk in the books (but for a couple of brief instances), has been a mute. If he doesn't talk they have, quite simply, gone and ###ed him up again.

Oh, and for the record I don't count having Banner exert an influence enabling him to talk through the Hulk as the Hulk himself talking. I state this as this is what I've gathered we might be seeing from the various tidbits I've read here.

The Hulk himself should talk from the get go, a mind and personality all of his own. Make him little more than a grunting brute again and they just show they haven't got a bloody clue.

NICELY PUT! BRAVO!

I wouldn't mind if they made him a little smarter than normal but if they want to go for an intelligent Hulk they should use the Grey Hulk which we probably won't see until the third or fourth movie, if we see it at all. But yes, he definitely needs to have more than one liners or more than two liners.

I don't see why he couldn't be a mix of a little bit of both. By the looks of it they couldn't decide on the gray/green thing so they made him a gray green mix. Maybe in certain situations the Banner inside Hulk can help him sort of make decisions and be more logical in his actions, but in times of extreme stress or Abom fights or w/e he could be more beastial. I'm thinking like a clash of his personalities not necesarily split like two people but an amalgamation of banner and all of his negative feelings. I have a large feeling he will speak more than he did in the 2003 film, just because it's been a fan request since the last one.
 
Oy. that mute Hulk debate again? Look, this is ridicious to revisit that. They will do what they think will sell beter, the simplistic Tarzan (Johnny Westover) speech or the thrug type speech. Oh heck, they had established that he will talk more and I guess it will be - "Hulk smash" or "Hulk not monster" type. Have faith in Ed Norton.:cwink:

They went for a greyish green because it helps Hulk look more realistic than the bright green used in Ang's movie.

I'm sure that that detail alone will help. I never got why they used that green and purple that made him look like a giant toy. I just assumed it was part of the Marvel touch, that Ang was forced to do it that way.



That said, I hope he won't talk more than a few words. But no monologue "Why humans hate Hulk? Why can't leave me alone?" etc.

realistic?

you mean they are using a more greyish green so that it better fits in the world? i mean how would bright green and orange buildigns look in NY? but would they be unrealistic?

i dont agree that its more realistic. we are talking here about a giant green monster.

It's more convincing.

You know he does roar when he first makes himself known to the Abomination totally shaking the streets right?
 
I like the current gravage hulk you have in the comics and would like the movies to be like that but I know there is no chance of that therefore I am just hoping for some short and to the point words.
 
I think hulk should speak like an intelligent person.
