I have read somewhere that the Hulk Video Game is set 8 years after the movie (and the Gamma Games Comic is set shortly after the game). Have to look into it tho

[@rojinn03]

The Marvel Database has the following note on the Earth-400083 page: "The video game chronologically takes place 8 years after the film."

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I did see that on the Fandom database, but they don't give a reason for it. The game itself makes it sound like it's 1 year after the military last came after him. Any guesses as to why the Fandom site says 8 years?

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Interestingly, on the Xbox page for the game, it reads: "One year after the events that take place in the film; troubled scientist Bruce Banner and his enraged alter ego, the Hulk, are forced into battle against the terrifying forces of the Leader, who’s intent on using the Hulk’s gamma energy to unleash a relentless army of gamma creatures on the world." That follows with what I found as well...that it's 1 year later. Here's that site: www.xboxaddict.com/game-profile/Xbox/558/Hulk.html

[@ChloeAriT]

as I understand it, The Incredible Hulk was originally written to be a sequel to Ang Lee's Hulk, and between the script being written and the movie beginning production it was retooled to be in the MCU with a new cast and direction but still based on the same script, so I consider Ang Lee's Hulk "semi-canon" to the MCU (i.e. any events in it that don't contradict the MCU can be assumed to have happened similarly in the MCU)

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I think that’s a good way to look at it… I could imagine that at least some of the events in the movie are indeed canon to the MCU.

Right...that sure was a curious line. Plus, it seems we are getting The Russian from the Punisher movie and Stone from the Elektra movie, so it appears the other movies beyond the X-Verse may have smaller cameos here and there. Can't wait to see the movie in just a few short weeks!

[@markdarc0448]

Really great video I was so glad to see that you took my suggestion and looked at the games too that was awesome! A few notes I have: Totally a personal headcanon of mine, I know it’s not official but I think it works really well. I think the hulk game connecting to the Incredible Hulk works really well. In that game he tries to cure himself and ends up kinda re getting his powers over again, in a machine that looks very similar to his origin in the Incredible Hulk. Glen Talbot was also planned to somehow have not died in that explosion as he was going to be abomination in the cancelled hulk 2, so it can still work with him in AOS. So the only real weird continuity there is that Bruce went back to Brazil again after the game? I mean it’s possible just kinda weird. But I found how well that works to be super interesting. Another thing is that I played the gba version of the ghost rider game and I think that may be a prequel or midquel to the ghost rider movie, he has his powers and goes after some demons on the loose, not sure how or if it can work at all, because I somehow haven’t seen the movies yet but certainly want to. The psp version of the game has a race mode that supposedly has a daily bugle map from tobeys universe. Which makes me think, would you ever do a video on all of the connections between the pre mcu (late 90s to early 2000s) marvel movies? We now have blade, ghost rider and Spider-Man all in some kind of attempted connected universe. I think that would be awesome. And personally it totally works for me that that’s a second blackout, and I don’t think earth numbers are incredibly accurate as they also placed ultimate avengers 1 and 2 in separate universes despite no continuity errors and the second one literally being called 2. Can’t get more of a direct sequel than that, but somehow it’s a different universe? Also as for the agents of shield connection, I’m not dying on this hill at all, i don’t really care if they don’t work together but doesn’t it perfectly work out that he’s pre spirit of vengeance in AOS? He’s not blue, we know multiple ghost riders can coexist, and he gives Robby his powers? I know it’s kinda implied that it’s transferred but it’s never stated as a fact is it? Plus with Johnny blaze wanting to get rid of his powers in universe around that time maybe he thought that would work but it didn’t. The only weird part would be that he should be across the world by now maybe, but I guess he could’ve gone to the us and back. I don’t really know how long he was on the run though.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Thanks so much for the suggestion of adding in the video games. I agree, that was such a nice touch. And I agree, that would be very cool if Johnny Blaze gave some of his powers to Robby in 2012 but also kept some himself. You make a good point that the first Ghost Rider movie did indeed have two Ghost Riders in it.

[@Josephdquinn]

This video just convinced me to try to find the Hulk and Ghost Rider games! I’m more inclined to consider the Ghost Rider game the canon sequel and Spirit of Vengeance being a multiverse story

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, both games looked like alot of fun! And I'm with you, I'd almost rather put the second Ghost Rider movie in an alternate universe as it barely tied into the first movie while the game had several ties to the first movie.

[@nicksorenson940]

I owned both that Hulk game and the Spider-Man 2 movie game for the GameCube in the 2000s.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Niiiiice! I bet both of those games were alot of fun!

[@Alexromval]

I noticed something in the part where you talk about the 2003 Hulk movie, and it's the fact that, while I don't think there's any real link to the 2008 movie either, I mean, obviously the 2003 movie isn't there within the MCU, the one-year time jump at the end caught my attention, which I didn't remember. If there is a time jump of one year, the end of the film would be in 2004, if we put ourselves in the hypothetical case that in that year Hulk did have encounters with Ross, a jump of 5 years from that end gives us would put in 2009. That would mean that the 2010 date for the 2008 movie could still fit this movie, rounding up.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Very good point...yeah, I kinda wonder if we can at least take some of the events in the movie as being canon to the MCU. Alot of it fits very nicely!

Ok let's see what we got 1.Loki showed sacred timeline it's actually a bunch of universe which follow a certain path in controlled manner (that's why we saw different variation of loki) and tva agents can use portals to travel across these universe it's like kang travelled across alternate realities shown at the end of loki season 1 and season 2 loki take control of timeline freed it creating yggdrassil of multiverse . 2. Then got to no way home and MOM According to no way home powerful magic force can Teleport a person from one universe to another , it's the same way wanda teleported peggy to 1602 universe . AND there is america who can create multiversal portals . Mom introduced dreamwalking and incursions, dreamwalking cause incursion and it's not clear that when a person travelling to another universe cause incursion or not ,reed says multiversal travel lead to incursion but it didn't make sense because watcher knowingly teleported black widow to an alternate reality 3. We have what If one of it's episode showed absolute point in time which can't be unchanged by any sort of time travel and powerful entities like watcher and infinity ultron didn't have boundaries of multiverse And can travel from one to another reality. And here Supreme strange is able to create multiversal portals . 4. Season 2 showed kahori can also create multiversal portals that's how she teleported everyone at the forge to there own home universe and don't know how she got the power . And infinity stones work in every universe even I'm nexus of all realities between universes that's how ultron defeated watcher but not in tva . We still don't know where tva is and according to what if and loki the watcher stay inside the branches of realities between universes where infinity stones work and tva seems to be outside of these multiversal tree because mobius sylvie.. can observe the sacred timeline and yggdrasil from tva which is literally the multiverse so it make sense infinity stones do not work outside the multiverse. And then there is void 5. Spiderverse introduced cannon events which need to take place in every universe (it's different from absolute point cause absolute points are points in time which is unchangeable and it is in universal). And glitching , anyone travel to an unknown reality will disintegrate, it's not seen in any of the previous multiversal projects and In MOM when one travel to alternate reality there body changes with the reality but in Spiderverse it's shown that it never happens like that. AND there is spot a huge multiversal villian who can create portals across universes.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yup, the multiverse can indeed be confusing. However, I made a video that addresses each of your issues, if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYSQp2t9dpmKsMU. It's a longer video, but it is broken into chapters. If you check it out, let me know what you think!

[@jakeproven256]

I remember hearing this dumb complaint about Ghost Rider 2007. He said "While the ghost rider in the movie is johnny blaze the design is based more off Danny Ketch" I find this to be a rediculous complaint. This isn't the first time a version of a character was redesigned to look more like another version of that character. Like in Batman The Animated series, the robin on that show was Dick Grayson, but the costume belive it or not was based more off Tim Drakes Robin costume from the comics. So if Dick Grayson can where Tim Drakes Robin costume, it's okay for Johnny Blaze to be dressed like Danny Ketch.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree...that's a strange complaint about the movie. The characters are always redesigned to some extent when they leap off the comic page to the big screen.

[@BlackHedgehog]

While I think a lot of these are unlikely I think Ghostrider could be a possibility and I'd lose my mind. Oh that line ... I never considered it might refer to Hulk of all characters. I will say I never envy you when it comes to figuring out WHEN things are happening given how unreliable props and the like are. I had no idea there were video games for Hulk and Ghostrider though. I did forget the Mephisto actor changes. The little Blade part is cool though. Didn't know about the Punisher bit as I've never seen it, very cool.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, if Cage appeared as Ghost Rider I would lose it. If we don't see him in DP&W, then hopefully we'll see him in Secret Wars for sure!

Ghost Rider 2 is more of a soft reboot, I think. Everything is so different, they made new flashbacks and even the devil has a different name.

Yeah, it sure felt like a soft reboot to me as well. But the quote from David Goyer made it seem like it's the same Ghost Rider. So I don't know what to think, tbh.

I really hope the “Anarchy Avengers” as fans are calling it are a bunch of past recast, fan cast, and old Marvel Heroes. Terrence Howard and Ed Norton obviously being the biggest ones, Tom Cruise Iron Man being a big fan cast before MoM, and my favorite ones Bill Salinger the 90’s Captain America, and Japanese Spiderman, the emissary of DEATH. Spiderman and Deadpool is a classic pairing, but making Spiderman the more chaotic of the 2 would be hilarious lmao.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I've always been torn on how to view the two movies. But after making this video I'm definitely leaning towards them being connected. And if we go with the idea that Mephisto created a second Blackout, then even the game could still work in the connected universe, it seems.

[@jakeproven256]

A similar thing happened with the amazing spider-man tie-in games. You see, The Amazing Spider-man tie-in game is set after The Amazing Spider-man movie, but Rhino, Alister Smythe, and Black Cat are in it, and in the amazing spider-man 2 all three of those characters appear, and it's not compatable with the amazing spider-man game.

[@KaNCeRmm4life]

Allegedly Liv Tyler will be back in Cap 4, I thought a cool idea would of been to bring Jennifer Connelly back instead, and this way you could say both hulk movies are technically canon, so like Mark Ruffalo went through both events but slightly different, and why Betty is the voice of Spiderman's AI in homecoming.. cause he has Norton's villains (Ross, Abomination and Leader) but he has the Betty from Ang Lee's... And as a bonus you can then say Norton hulk takes place in the universe where Roadie looks like Terrence Howard lol

That would’ve been awesome if they brought Jennifer Connelly back for Captain America 4. Your ideas would’ve worked out perfectly!

[@juanaguilar9439]

Will you be discussing the Shanghai footage that was shown today by chance ?

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Good question. I've looked at the reports and there wasn't too much new info being shared. It does sound like we'll see a version of the Hulk but they described it as "not what we are expecting" which sounds interesting. They confirmed there are alot of fun cameos (but didn't say who they were) and also that the snow scene was definitely from Logan (which has been my theory) and also that most of the footage we've seen in the trailers is from the first part of the movie, which is awesome. Let me know your thoughts if you feel that's worth doing a vid on that. Overall, it was very positive info about the movie, so it does get me all the more excited for it!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

lol...great point...they do have a certain "similarity" in their appearance!

[@ivanagustinortiz5237]

I'm guessing Spirit of Vengeance is an Evil Dead 2 situation, maybe they didn't have the rights to the first movie full stop, so they could reference events from it, but not directly show them. That with a different direction overall for the character might've been the reason for the soft reboot/retcons they do for that movie. Similar thing with Warzone, and even The Suicide Squad on DC's side, it works as a sequel but not as directly as the more common sequels. Something I would like to add as a personal opinion, the retcon of Johnny actually signing the contract, instead of signing it by mistake does wonders for the character.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Excellent commentary! I agree… Having Johnny intentionally sign it really does change the entire relationship with Mephisto!

I hope marvel retcon Edward Norton's "The Incredible Hulk" (2008) story by placing it in another universe. (It can be in 838(meaningful for future) or 615-617(independent for future). However they want to do it. If they do this, Marvel can convince us that Edward's story was actually the exactly same as Mark Ruffalo's story. And they can tell us that Hulks stories changed slightly in their timelines' futures but we didn't show you yet, so you don't know about it. Overall, marvel explains us that they actually started multiversal connectivity and continuity from the very beginning, and now you're (audiences) also understanding it. BOOOM!

[@ericcasper9637]

Interesting that Blade shows up in the Ghost Rider game. I've noticed that with a lot of these non-mcu movie tie-in materials such as the video games, novelizations, and even shows, have quite of bit of references to other heroes that don't show up or get mentioned. Like the Spider-Man 2 movie video game had a level where you needed to take pictures of a Latverian diplomat but fail, most likely Doctor Doom being referenced here. Or how about in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, that followed up on the events of the original 2002 film, had an appearance from Michael Clark Duncan's Kingpin who he played in the Daredevil movie. Most of these tie-ins take place in their own universes similar to the films so while these crossover characters may or may no be canon to the films they are canon to these tie-in universes. Its very likely these tie-ins take place in the same multiverse with their source movies. I feel like these pre-mcu movies where dying to have some connections to one another so with all these references in these tie-in material I like to believe that most of the non-mcu movies in the 2000s are part of the same multiverse that all split off from each other to explain why they may or may not be in the same universe.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Excellent observation! I agree, it really seems the pre-MCU movies wanted to connect to each other so badly and yet never managed to pull it off. I wonder if that influenced Feige, since he worked on alot of those pre-MCU movies. Thus, when he was finally in charge, he made sure to establish those connections right up front. Very cool!

[@ericcasper9637]

@@AbitofEverything4U Awesome! Now that I think about it. If the Incredible Hulk was meant to be a direct follow up to the 2003 Hulk then should Hulk (2003) be a like part of the MCU, if not directly then a split timeline from the MCU?

The Ghost Rider Video Game can still fit into canon using the 2 Blackouts philosophy like you mentioned. The Blackout in the video game never has his name revealed and he dies in it too I believe so I believe it’s safe to treat them as 2 separate people both named Blackout

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, it feels like that's the best way to solve it. Since he got his powers from Mephisto, it likely means Mephisto can give it to more than one person.

[@uncle_pepe14]

Since this is, in part, preparation for Deadpool and Wolverine and I don’t recall seeing it on your timeline, I want to mention that I believe X-Men the Official Game can fit into the Original Timeline between X2 and Last Stand (it honestly fits better than the movies do) The game has a Silver Samurai different from the one in the Wolverine however they aren’t actually named so it’s a similar situation as Emma Frost and Emma Silverfox in First Class and Origins (2 different characters based on the same one) Lady Deathstrike also appears in the video game which supports the X2 Novelization implying she survives the events of X2 following her “death” to Wolverine

Licence plates in Europe simply do not expire and are permanent unless damaged so there is no need to show the year on them.

They NEED to bring back movie tie in video games

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree...they seemed to make a ton of them back in the 2000's but Marvel doesn't really do it anymore.

[@demknux]

The thing with tie-in video games is even if they’re are not contradictions with the movies, they’d never be referenced in a future installment so not to make the average movie goer feel like they need to play a 20 year old video game to fully grasp the plot of future films.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Very good point! It would be really nice if the video games were done in a way that they could be referenced in the future entries, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with marvel. On the other hand, the Star Wars games are considered canon and are indeed referenced in future entries. The Obi-Wan show referenced the video games, as an example. So it can be done, but you are right that there has to be a definite intention behind it, as it doesn’t happen by accident.

[@demknux]

@@AbitofEverything4U What If…? An Immersive Story seems to have been created with the intention of tieing in with the greater MCU like the Star Wars games.

Since you explored the video games of hulk and ghost rider, will you explore other marvel games? Like even if it isn't part of the sacred timeline?

Here's another piece of proof that the incredible hulk isn't connected to Hulk 2003. The opening scene of Incredible Hulk shows how bruce became the hulk and it's very different from the 2003 movie.

Very interesting idea. I'd love to see Agents of SHIELD and other pre-d+ shows appear. My guess, however, is that the main focus will be on the X-Men movies with a few smaller cameos from some of the other one-off movies like Hulk, Punisher, Elektra, etc. I suspect it will be Secret Wars where we get to see some of those pre-d+ shows making appearances.

In a scene from Ghost Rider 2 a magazine appears with the date December 2010-January 2011 Also when Jonny loses his powers he says "Merry Christmas" Probably a retcon? mid 2003 Ghost Rider Early 2011 Ghost rider 2

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Excellent feedback. So on the Merry Christmas line, I took that to just be a general phrase being said facetiously and not necessarily meaning it was Christmas time, since we saw the harvest being brought in during an earlier scene. But ig it could be that it was literally meant to be Christmas time. As for the magazine cover, I must have missed that. Do you perhaps recall when that was in the movie? It is odd that the director said it was 8 years later even though they had that magazine cover.

[@Mr_Wayne2012]

@@AbitofEverything4U In the scene in that kind of Metro where Mephisto is at a newsstand, you showed it for a moment in your video saying that because of the weather it seemed like September. The magazine if I'm not mistaken is called "Casas". It is likely that it is a retcon or some bug, something similar happens in The Dark Knight Trilogy, for example, The Dark Knight Rises takes place 8 years after The Dark Knight, but in both films we see props that indicate that they are in the year in which were released, The Dark Knight in 2008 and The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. It's a retcon I think.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Ah! It's on the spine of the magazine. I looked over those magazines for at least 10 minutes when I was making the vid and never saw a date, but for a fraction of a second you can catch a Jan - Feb 2011 date on the spine when Mephisto moves his arm. Wild. Yeah, I bet that was the date the movie was filmed, since the director seemed to want the movie in 2015. But I've made note of that for my records. Thanks so much for pointing that out!

[@Mr_Wayne2012]

@@AbitofEverything4U I don't know, I think it is the most solid date since in the first film we have a Tuesday, September 26, which fits with 2006 but it could be from last year or 2000 even where it is also that date. and a license plate that expires in June 2008 that gives us a limit on when it can happen. and in the second we have Jonny saying Merry Christmas, cold weather and that "CasaMea" magazine from December 2010 to January 2011. It seems that it was because the movie was being filmed during that time but that dialogue from Jonny makes me doubt if they intended for it to be set in those times as well. Also, if it were January 2011, that would imply that the first movie happened 8 years earlier. In 2003.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

​@@Mr_Wayne2012 Hmmmm...I don't think the first movie works in 2003, since the license plate is definitely 2008. And I would be surprised if that poster still looked so good in 2003 if it was put up in 2000. 3 years in the elements would have faded it alot more. I really feel the first movie is 2007. And I do think the magazine says Jan - Feb 2011, but let me know if you think the same if you get a chance to view it again. I'd be fine with the second movie being Dec 2010, but that seems to go against the wishes of the director who was really clear on when it takes place. So I think the magazine is just there from when it was filmed and wasn't intentional. It is very hard to spot and is only on screen for a brief second. But just my take on it. I think you have some strong logic as well.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

tbh, they don't say which one it is, so I'd be down with it being Danny Ketch. fwiw, I was told that Clark Gregg seemed to confirm it in a tweet from years ago and there’s also a bullet wound on the Good Samaritan’s head that matches with a famous comic in which Johnny is shot in the head.
