That really dates it. The destructing in TIH is trivial compared to what the Hulk does in Avengers 1 or 2, though I suppose in the later film he isn't in the US so we might not care. But then he walks around as Banner/Hulk so I'm not sure why A. hulk gamma radiation serum wouldn't be a more legit research tool again or B. Ross himself would seem so freaked out about it because presumably he knows and kept up on all the Banner developments so would be intimately familiar with his rage techniques and how he "solved" it. The film, despite referencing 'current' marvel, feels like it should take place somewhere around Avengers 1 at best. Big alien body in the ocean....why aren't Wakandans or Asgardians taking point on this? Or the Nova corp or some other space entity? Or have "the contract" for mining it go to a certain Latverian construction firm, from a disinterested neutral country to appease the major powers, and well, that leads to Dr. Doom. Oh wait, we can't have that because we gotta go through this silly multiverse nonsense to "Explain" by Dr. Doom looks just like Tony Stark.
And if this is the first terrestrial source of Adamantium, then Wolverine could only just now get created, no? Or are all the major mutants gonna be ported over from a multiverse so their various backstories can stay mostly intact? Maybe 'the plan' is to do another time jump or wait for Wolverine so he could have a few years of living on the run, or adamantium already exists (which just devalues BNW even more, the whole conflict is basically over nothing). I'm assuming they used Japan so they could have Wolverine be in Japan and get exposed to it there. Plus they may have wanted to use China as the major adversary but that got ixnayed by corporate.
