They finally nailed Hulk in this movie.

The only problem with I had was that he kept reverting to that one hunched pose. Like one side of his body was heavier than the other

My impression is they modeled some of his movements from apes. He sometimes pounds his fists on the ground too.

No idea why they did that though.

I actually enjoyed the direction they went with his animation. The gorilla poses read to me as immediately threatening. Animal-like behavior, for me, is terrifying when it's coming from something as large as a gorilla. You don't know what the hell it's thinking and it's got the strength to rip you to shreds if it wanted.

Rewatched this and some of the "movie logic" bugs the shit outta me. I hate when people can leap/fall and then grab onto/catch something that's moving 100 MPH. It's kinda okay when Loki does it, but Black Widow?

Was thinking this too, but it didn't bother me so much to stand out as a real complaint.

Also, why the hell does Iron Man "fall" back through the portal, in what seems to be a zero gravity environment? There doesn't appear to be atmosphere, as he passes out and his suit powers down.

Pretty sure he was motionless until the explosion pushed him through.

Fourth time? Jesus Christ....

Was a free ticket and my cousin wanted to see it. She's only seen IM & IM2 but was able to find the movie easy to follow. She also found Coulson's fanboy crush on CA cute and hated that he died. The "Better clench up, Legolas," line was her favorite - she's a big LoTR fan.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

She-Hulk is a terrible character. Perfect!

What the hell are you talking about.

 

[Good Job Bob]

She-Hulk is a terrible character. Perfect!

I strongly disagree, I've started reading the She-Hulk series and she's a pretty great character; certainly much better than your average Marvel heroine and especially Black Widow.

 

[Tobor]

What the hell are you talking about.

I've never liked her. I don't like any female spinoff of a male character, to be honest. I prefer original female heroes.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Pretty sure he was motionless until the explosion pushed him through.

I thought he started falling backward prior to the detonation...but I may be wrong. That would be a reasonable explanation.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

Wasp will be introduced with the upcoming Ant-Man movie, probably.

i dunno if the ant man movie is going to be the henry pym ant man. Think its going to be the guy who stole the pym particles.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

I've never liked her. I don't like any female spinoff of a male character, to be honest. I prefer original female heroes.

That'd make any sense if She-Hulk were anything like Hulk.

She-Hulk is like the only Marvel girl who isn't part of the X-Men with a good personality. You can even scratch "good" there.

 

[Jintor]

She-Hulk is a terrible character. Perfect!

I quite like her fourth-wall comics, that run is okay

Personally I like her purely from what little I've seen in MvC3

 

[Good Job Bob]

I don't know, everything we've heard about it so far seem to strongly imply it's Hank Pym; Edgar Wright has outright said it a few times iirc.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

I don't know, everything we've heard about it so far seem to strongly imply it's Hank Pym; Edgar Wright has outright said it a few times iirc.

The latest time Wright said anything about the plot he said he wante to have Pym on the 60s and Scott Lang in the present time. Given that the lack of Pym means the lack of Wasp, Ultron and Vision, I really doubt Marvel would let him, though.

 

[Snaku]

Bought some cheap tickets from Costco last night, and will hopefully see this again sometime this weekend. Pumped.

 

[Tobor]

I've never read any solo She-Hulk comics, I'm basing my opinion solely on the character's premise.

Which, honestly, is what most movie goers are going to do as well.

Well Wright said he hopes to start shooting Ant-Man this year so we should get some details soon enough.

Yeah, you should read them.

They're pretty good and she really is a good character.

 

[noah111]

I can't believe people are seriously suggesting She-Hulk before Wasp. smh

I can't believe people are seriously suggesting She-Hulk period. It's not going to happen for at least another 5-10 years, if ever.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

But how awesome would it be.

[richiek]

So does sound traveling in space as depicted in countless sci-fi films bother you as well?

 

[Good Job Bob]

But Joss Whedon jokingly referred to her in a short interview! It's going to happen dammit!

She's a lawyer and I like her more than Daredevil so she's got that going for her too.

 

[Dilly]

I'd say since it's a portal, forces also "travel" though them

 

[Anton Sugar]

No, because that's an accomodation that is made to add value to the experience. Falling backwards in a zero-gravity situation isn't nearly the same.

But as has been mentioned, maybe the blast pushed him back or maybe the portal sucks shit in. If either of those weren't feasible, then yes, it would really bother me that he was in "space" but was capable of falling.

Shockwave from the nuke blowing up.

Also, no solo hulk movie. Ever....unless it's Planet Hulk or Hulk vs Wolverine with guest appearance from Deadpool.

Not sure if this is scientifically accurate, but if the portal is open, technically Earth's gravitational pull is still in effect. I don't think it's really black and white like "here be space and here be Earth." I gather some pull is funneled through the portal as well, causing near-portal objects to be sucked inward, no?

 

[AgentP]

I like She-Hulk, but you cannot have her and Hulk on the same team, too much green. They can do a solo Hulk movie where Jen gets her blood transfusion from Bruce and they introduce her. Then Hulk could go AWOL or get kidnapped while she joins the Avengers. Any female is better than Black Widow, she is too lame.Wasp would be cool, but it would probably look corny on screen.

 

[SmithnCo]

Whelp, there's your problem.

But I do agree most moviegoers would think it's a ridiculous character.

What's ridiculous about Shulkie if you've already accepted Hulk? If anything she's less ridiculous.

She-Hulk is much more than her (admittedly dumb) premise. Being judged on that is the biggest problem for that character.

Which is why tacking her onto a Hulk movie everyone is gonna see for Hulk would show people that she's actually awesome.

 

[3phemeral]

Hot Toys Loki:

Hand looks a little small but looks fantastic otherwise.

 

[Good Job Bob]

I really don't see how Shulkie's premise is dumber than anyone else's, but I digress.

Maybe it seems lame because it's derivative of another character but really she becomes her own separate thing entirely.

 

[The Anti-Monitor]

I really don't see how Shulkie's premise is dumber than anyone else's, but I digress.

Not dumb, just silly. Too silly. She hulks out but becomes confident rather than stupid, she gets bigger and muscled out but still hot, she's a superhero but incredibly goofy. She is a very fun character and I like her more than just about any other Marvel female, but she is a very hard sell. And, as many have said, in a relatively small group Avengers with different powers (such as Wasp and Ms. Marvel) would have a better chance of being accepted by the mainstream.

 

[Tobor]

The Avengers sequel is going to hopefully be an Empire Strikes Back like second chapter of a trilogy. She-Hulk, regardless of whether you like her or not, does not fit.

In a Solo Hulk movie, or better yet, the new Hulk TV show, she could work.

That Hulk show doesn't take place in the MCU right? Why would I care then.

That's why it's the best place to use her. Lol.

Your Shulkie slandering is even more grating to me than your Whedon jocking.

shes not a terrible character, but she has had the worst animated version of a character ive ever seen. killed my interest in the incredible hulk seriers

 

[Byakuya769]

Ditto to anyone extolling this Hulk above all others. His animation put you in constant worry that the other Avengers could get smashed at any moment.

As Thor did with the sucker punch? Yep.

Also loved it when Hulk, CA and Thor were gathered around Tony at the end - watch Hulk as he was debating between punching Tony and letting him be. In the end, he just roared to wake him up.

 

[Tobor]

Probably better than the past Hulk movies combined, since they have more character and 'heart' to work with, but it won't happen for a long while if ever. Ah well!

Yeah I noticed that too. I've seen a million super hero movies and this is the first one where the wild implausibility of some of the things happening on screen really stood out to me.

As for the Iron Man thing, wouldn't the pull of the earth's gravity also go through the portal? That's what I figured.

Given that portals are already dubious physics anyway, sure, why not?

Is it just me or did RDJ really sell the little few lines after he woke up, culminating with the shawarma suggestion? "what... the hell? please tell me nobody tried to kiss me." I was like, yup, that's exactly how Iron Man would react.

I thought it was his 'shawarma after?' line that was even more Tony than RDJ but yes, it helps that he had some control over those lines to sell it even further.

 

[Hawkian]

Yeah, just all of that little banter, whatever was scripted and wasn't, who knows, just really got me. He really is the guy I associate most with a single character now. He is Iron Man.

I HATE it when people judge a character before reading there source material.

ANNOYS me to no end.

I really liked his inane "ship commands" when he first gets to the control room of the ship. It's half gibberish, but I think at one point he says "raise the topsail"

She's not green anymore? Kidding!

I know what type of character she is, she's the opposite of Banner, a lawyer, always stays green, yada yada.

I don't hate her, and "terrible" was probably too strong on my part. I am uninterested in her as a character, and as a member of The Avengers film series.
