After re-watching this movie with Natalie I feel it has two of the Hulk's most epic moments in the MCU. The entire college campus scene was epic. It felt more visceral than other Hulk things we've seen in the MCU. Also, the most savage moment for the Hulk in the entire MCU is when he kicks Blonsky into a tree. I don't think the modern MCU movies would show something like that now. That's the only time in the MCU I feel the Hulk felt no issue with brutally killing someone.

[@biznisman7049]

But Blonsky survived cause he had some of the serum inside, end in the end BLONSKY was Abomination, and even then he didnt die, only incapacitated, and General ROSS has him in some top black site, under ultra heavy sedatives in human form!!

@@joaosoares-rr5mj I mean just say you hate comics while you're at it. If you ever read a good amount hulk comics you'd find out about the enemies he faces. Some of them were gamma-infused dogs sent by General Ryker, the film just had it sent by his father who had a fusion of the Absorbing man/ZZzax abilities. One can duplicate properties of anything he touches and the other is an electrical being! Comics are fictitious and to talk about any of this with any real form of criticism needs to take a harder look at oneself rather than the content that they are consuming.

[@lordmortarius538]

The thing I loved most about this film is that the sound effects of Hulk screaming in rage actually sounded human, and not like some wild animal roaring like has been done in the past. That primal scream of unbridled fury sends shivers down my spine more than any monster roar.

[@nt78stonewobble]

Agreed... Also I'd say Tim Roth did quite well... Actually found him quite menacing here.

[@mnomadvfx]

I never found Ruffalo convincing at all as Banner - and once the MCU writers emasculated Hulk by basically making him a larger green Mark it was just sad to watch. Norton on the other hand did a great job IMHO, totally believable as Banner and the last bit of the fight with Abomination was just epicly brutal enraged Hulk five seconds from ripping his head off - even General Ross was taken aback at just how much he had misjudged Banner's character when he realised just how similar they are underneath.

[@mnomadvfx]

@Paul WT Exactly right - the problem is that they decided that EVERYTHING must be capable of becoming a joke in the MCU and it completely takes away from both Hulk and Thor's characters.

What really sucks is that The Incredible Hulk made $264 million at the box office and the fact that it came out a month after Iron Man around that same year is just baffling, and it is the only character to not get a sequel after that (other than Black Widow). Plus I believe the Hulk sequel could’ve set up Leonard Samson be bombarded with gamma rays and become what he is like in the comics/cartoon series, introducing Rick Jones/A-Bomb in the MCU, and Samuel Sterns creating a gamma army. But because Universal realized how poorly The Incredible Hulk received, they ended up deciding not to release another Hulk movie, and have to keep the rights for exactly 15 frickin’ years.

[@existenceisrelative]

I've been watching all the comic book movies as they come out for the last twenty years or more. And honestly, i think Ruffalo is the best live-action Hulk so far. He plays a vulnerability that neither of the others had. Like a guy who's almost always just desperately trying to keep it together. I also think that one of the best things this movie did is _imply_ a connection to the previous hulk movie from 2003 without giving anything too definite. It's definitely my favorite way to handle continuity from a divisive previous film. So if you hated the 2003 hulk, it's a fresh start.

I love that Ty is a set-up for Samson, a super strength dude with long hair, that sadly I doubt we'll see in the MCU. I really enjoy watching your reactions to all these movies. I cannot wait for you to see Captain America: First Avenger.

[@ricardoortiz4870]

What really sucks is that The Incredible Hulk made $264 million at the box office and the fact that it came out a month after Iron Man around that same year is just baffling, and it is the only character to not get a sequel after that (other than Black Widow). Plus I believe the Hulk sequel could’ve set up Leonard Samson be bombarded with gamma rays and become what he is like in the comics/cartoon series, introducing Rick Jones/A-Bomb in the MCU, and Samuel Sterns creating a gamma army. But because Universal realized how poorly The Incredible Hulk received, they ended up deciding not to release another Hulk movie, and have to keep the rights for exactly 15 frickin’ years.

[@milo14564]

"we didn't get to see him get there." (become the Hulk) Yes you did. It was the opening of the movie that caused you so much confusion about whether you watching the correct film. This movie was masterfully made. It acknowledged both the Bill Bixby tv series and the Ang Lee movie without dismissing them from canon or declaring them canon. Hulk fans were divided by both of those attempts to bring the green goliath to life. The careful writing of this movie made it easier for fans of both previous Hulk portrayals to embrace this version.

[@cf714_]

the bad news is we probably have to wait another month for the next MCU movie

[@RibbuM]

Just so everyone is clear: This movie is the second film of 'phase one' of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is very much a part of the MCU. Hulk (2003) however, is not. While this film can easily be argued to be a spiritual sequel to that film (as well as a mixture of other Hulk media), nothing Hulk-related prior to this film and its generalized opening sequence is canon to this film, or the MCU in general. She is clearly going in order of actual Marvel Studios released movies and I'm glad that it doesn't appear that she is going to skip any "lesser" movies in the franchise. As she said she liked this one quite a bit, she will probably at least get a pretty decent level of enjoyment out of even the 'weaker' movies of the franchise and really enjoy the strong stuff.

[@aspenator42]

I think I read somewhere, when marvel first started production on this movie, it was a direct sequel Hulk. They then made a few script changes and such and made it fit the MCU they were building a bit better. That's why it has a few nods to Hulk, but doesn't fit very well as a sequel.

[@spencerbookman2523]

Except for the opening credit sequence, I think it fits pretty well as a sequel to the 2003 Hulk. I know the 2003 Hulk isn't supposed to be part of the MCU, but I don't understand why. (I don't remember if the 2003 Hulk has any post-credit scenes - maybe that disqualifies it.) If you don't count the 2003 Hulk, then the Hulk character only gets one stand-alone movie; and that's kinda sad. I like the stand-alone movies better than the Avengers movies, and I like the 2003 Hulk movie better than this one.

[@aspenator42]

@@spencerbookman2523 you might be right. It's been too long since I have watched the 2003 Hulk

[@Drachendaemon1]

@@spencerbookman2523 There's a simple reason why Hulk got no sequels: Movie production, publication and contribution rights. Marvel owns the rights to use Hulk in ensemble movies like the Avengers because he's a core member and associated with this group. As a standalone character, the production rights belong to Disney / Marvel but distribution rights still belong to Universal. In the 2nd Avengers there was a similar problem with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch: They are members and associates of the avengers which Marvel owns the rights for but at the same time being Mutants makes them members and associated with the X-Men franchise which at the time was owned by 20th Century Fox (now owned by Disney and renamed to 20th Century Studios). So the 2 studios had to come to an agreement regarding those characters and in the end, marvel was allowed to use these characters but had to cut all connections to the X-Men (Mutants, X-Gene, Magneto etc.)

[@CaptainFrost32]

@@aspenator42 You thought wrong. It was never considered a sequel of Ang Lee's HULK. Both movies used the medical research origin used by the television series instead of the comic book origin as a Gamma Bomb developer. The Ultimates Comic version of the Hulk was trying to replicate the Super Soldier Serum, substituting gamma rays for the nebulous term Vita Rays.

Ty Burrell plays a character called Dr Sampson. In the comics he winds up becoming irradiated himself and becomes a hero in his own right, but he keeps his mind when he bulks up. They have another character later that turns into the Leader when he becomes infected by Bruce's blood.

[@rook1513]

[@DopeSauceBenevolence]

Nat the reason they didn't show his origin story in this movie is because we already got his origin story like fifteen times before this one, and the Hulk that came out just before this (2003, Eric Bana plays main character) is probably one of the best cinematography experiences in Marvel. So they kind of treated that one as the origin story, and this one as the next chapter where we tie-in Hulk to the MCU.

[@AlexKnight009]

* Hey Natalie. Loved your reactions to this one. Incidentally, I think that this is probably the best Hulk movie so far. A lot of people don't realize that this one is actually "Part 2", of a duology. The first film(which gives you the complete "Bruce Banner/Hulk" backstory) was the film that was simply called "Hulk", that was released all the way back in "2003". A lot of people refute this, simply because the characters are played by different actors, and because "The Incredible Hulk" was not called "Hulk 2", but believe me, these films are connected. * At the end of "Hulk"(2003), Bruce Banner is in Brazil(South America), and it is about 5 years after the rest of the events in the film(and he has learned how to speak Spanish in that time). The beginning of "The Incredible Hulk"(the one that you watched in this reaction video), Bruce Banner is in "Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro"(Brazil), and it has been about 5 years since he has seen Betty Ross(Liv Tyler's character). * So clearly, these 2 films are connected. It's just way too much of a coincidence. In the first film, Bruce Banner is played by "Eric Bana", and Betty Ross is played by the lovely "Jennifer Connelly". A lot of people say that the 2003 film is crap, but I think it is highly underrated. I still like it. I thought it was well done.

[@andrewft31]

Marvel has stated the Eric Bana Hulk is not part of the MCU so it's not considered part 1 of this film.

@@andrewft31 * I know. If you wanna get really technical it isn't, but if someone wanted to look at it as a sequel to the first one, they set it up nicely so that you could if you wanted to.

I always took it as the reason Bruce doesn’t stay is not because he can’t control it for Betty, but they’ll never stop coming after him and she would always be in danger because of it. And Bruce loves her so much that he doesn’t want to put her through that.

[@BPrice1A]

If I recall correctly, in this version, Bruce became the Hulk from failed attempts to recreate the Super-Soldier serum that created Captain America - which is also what turned Emil Blonsky into "The Abomination". As for "what happened to the professor", he begins to transform into a well-known Marvel comics villain known as "The Leader" (who's never seen again in Marvel movies). And the final fight doesn't take place in Manhattan/NYC per se, it takes place in Harlem, which is a rarity for most movies. Note: As an inside joke, the one bottle with Bruce's blood that was consumed by an elderly man was played by Hulk co-creator Stan Lee, who's done cameos in every Marvel movie.

[@jhilal2385]

The character played by William Hurt, General Thaddeus Ross, reappears latter in Captain America Civil War, Avengers Infinity War, and Black Widow as Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross. Did you notice that the fight between Hulk and The Abomination in Harlem was commemorated in the Netflix Daredevil series as a framed newspaper headline on Ben Urich's office wall?
