Its been a long time since I've seen the Ed Norton Hulk, but after seeing scenes like that and the ones where Stark is trying to poke and shock him are great. When they cast Ruffalo I thought it was a mistake but he's grown on me big time.

Norton didn't have a scene like this. It's not to say he couldn't manage it, he's a very capable actor, but he wouldn't have done it any better.

yeah, he nails the body language. so cagey throughout the movie. Afraid to touch anything or anyone.

I miss Ed Norton as Hulk, i really loved that stand alone film especially after the abortion of a first attempt.

Second time I've read that in this thread, but it was not a stand alone film. It's very much part of the MCU Phase 1. There is an after credit scene with Tony Stark.

yep, thats why there was no backstory for hulk in avengers. he is already an established character. i also think ed norton's hulk is a semi sequel to to eric bana's hulk.

hurray for ninja edits

Not only was it connected to the MCU, but didn't it also kind of build on the shitty Hulk from 2003? I remember Ed Norton's Hulk starts off with him living abroad already as the Hulk, without any explanation of how he got there or became the Hulk.

This is how I hope they handle Spiderman. Build on the other movies that have given us the origin story without actually referring to them.

I just want more Hulk period. My all time favorite hero since I was a toddler watching the Hulk tv show.

hulk tv end credit theme should be the standard theme for all hulk related things.

Marvel was on deaths door when all those deals were made, also this was the only way to even get a spiderman movie since it was in rights limbo, with carolco pictures, james cameron directing and scripting the movie with a cursing mutherfucker peter parker jizzing spider fluid wet dreams and banging MJ cosplay style overlooking ny.

plus marvel never made a movie, there was no marvel studios, no track record, they're a comic book company that creates IP, they should just license out their IP and try to make bank that way.

What were they in the 90's? they were shit, along with every other comic book company cuz they all produced shit upon shit and tanked their own industry.

And as you said, that was of Marvel's own making. The industry was so messed up in the 90's. I was one of those guys who bought every variant cover, thinking that it would be a good investment.

Well allegedly both Norton and the director wanted the intro to be longer, but the director settled for that montage due to executives demanding a runtime reduction. I actually really like that the intro was done so fast in the montage too. I like Norton a lot, and I'm curious what he'd rather have put up there, but getting all that shit out of the way rapidly was a refreshing change of pace for me.

Harshaw · Feb 10, 2015

Isn't Norton a control freak when it comes to his roles? That would make it seriously hard to deal with him in the current MCU movie style.

Spidey could get some background via a Marvel Short

He didn't mean that kind of "stand alone". He means it wasn't connected to the first hulk.

Clearly.

Variety is reporting that the deal between Marvel and Sony involved essentially no money changing hands between the studios. Marvel is paying no licensing fee to Sony to get Spider-Man for the MCU?something that was reportedly a sticking point in the previous negotiations?and will not surrender any money from Civil War to the studio for Spidey?s involvement. In return, Marvel gets no cut of Sony?s Spider-Man films. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige will not be compensated for producing Sony?s new Spider-Man film.

So any Sony spiderman movie will suck and the same actor in MCU will be awesome

Malakriss · Feb 10, 2015

So basically free advertisement, Marvel gets to use spidey in the larger universe, and it at least opens the door for Marvel to green light certain plotlines and segways that Sony would otherwise not be able to ever touch.

j00t · Feb 10, 2015

it was connected. the opening montage is identical to how eric bana became hulk. the only difference was that the actors were all replaced. Norton's hulk basically accepts that bana's hulk happened, but we don't want to talk about it.

The Ancient_sl · Feb 10, 2015

No, it wasn't at all identical. It was more of a reference to the show than the movie. Still I think the intention was to have it loosely based off the first hulk to the extent that the characters did not need to be reintroduced.

Well, that makes a shitload more sense to me as to why Marvel agreed to it. They basically just have to produce a movie for free, and they get everything else they wanted. Perfect.

PatrickStar · Feb 11, 2015

Somehow the North Korean's release of the Sony emails led to something...good?

The Ancient_sl · Feb 11, 2015

That's a crazy deal if accurate. You never get executives checking their ego enough to give up every dollar of something they have no involvement in.
