Harlock posted:There's really not much important in the film anyways besides - the Hulk exists. He pissed off General Ross. The Avengers are a thing. I agree with the recasting. I'm not a huge Norton fan because he seems very arrogant (based on the stories I've read online so I could be wrong). I do wish Tim Roth would come back as a villain.

Harlock posted:I'm actually kind of glad they recast Banner. I like Ruffalo in the Banner role better. I think Norton is probably the better actor, but Ruffalo works better as Banner-as-counterpoint-to-Hulk. Norton had a kind of manic, nervous energy, while Ruffalo plays Banner as kind of sadly resigned and just exhausted from constantly fighting against himself.

I think Bana, Norton and Ruffalo all did pretty well by the role, even if I don't like the Ang Lee movie (or for that matter the Avengers movies) that much.

Wheeee posted:After a few glasses of wine I decided that Fant4stic would be acceptable for the evening's entertainment and god drat the final third feels like a different, and far worse, movie. The weird horror-like vibe from the first half of the movie was actually an interesting take on the genre and I was hoping to see it followed through to the end rather than the poorly designed and shot finale it ended up with. This is one reason I think the film would have been pretty fan-salvageable if you got rid of Doom and replaced him with something like Annihilus or something. A crazy alien bug thing that blows up heads and does strange alien stuff I think would play out a little better. You can put Doom away for a movie or two to let the FF shine and give Doom a film where he gets to have a focus put on him and we're not juggling all the origin stories at one time. The actual final-final part of the movie feels sort of like an unearned wish fulfillment fantasy, though.

I liked Ang Lee's Hulk up until the last 20 minutes or so when they went completely off the rails with their weird twist ending. It's really hard to walk away from that with a positive feeling.

Hulk also started the trend of hiding insane hints at future MCU movies in obscure ways by having Captain America's frozen body appear for .5 seconds when Hulk is in the Arctic, which went unnoticed for about 6 months. Having Dr. Strange be a random database entry in Winter Soldier just feels lazy in comparison.

MacheteZombie posted:Wasn't it the Russo's who laughed when asked if they knew any of the plots from AoS? I remember there being a quote about the fish oil. Yes, last year when they were wrapping up the script just before filming started an interviewer asked them if the Inhumans from AoS would figure into Civil War's registration theme and they were like "wait, there's Inhumans everywhere and people get superpowers from fish oil now? wha? We've been kinda busy working on this movie." Combined with the Sony e-mail leaks and other sources we know that Marvel's movie and TV continuity concerns run just about completely bottom-up, and AoS only gets crossover characters whenever the actor deigns to work with television pay and filming.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Let's take this to its logical conclusion and simply make everything equally canon henceforth. Star Wars style crawls that catch you up before the movies would unironically be good. You can even sell it as being an adaptation of the short paragraph or so that precedes all Marvel comics. Save the hyperlinking for the Double Platinum digital collection, with touch screen annotation jumping.

I think there's a lot of hesitation due in no part to how iconic Peter Falk made the role.

Davros1 posted:Still looked better than Avengers Hulk.  For me 03 Hulk looks too much like he goes on a package of frozen vegetables. I dunno, it's hard to describe... like the bottom one would just look like a roided-out Ruffalo if you changed his skin tone to flesh, whereas the top one would be a weird Dreamworks character.  03 is better here, these two are pretty similar. I've only seen each of these once almost a decade ago though.

Kurzon posted:What does an executive producer do? I hear all they do is get financing and copyrights. The producer is the one who affects the creative process. It depends on the movie. In many cases, the executive producer in charge of much of the logistics of the production (see: Ralph Winter on the early Star Trek movies). In other cases, the EP is heavily involved in the creative side (see: Leonard Nimoy on Star Trek VI, because he came up with the entire story). In some cases, an actor gets an EP title because of script approval rights. It's a title that can mean anything that person's contract calls for, really. In this case, I doubt Affleck is going to be overseeing the money side of the movie, so my guess is this just gives him a little more power to say to Terrio and Snyder, "Hey, let's try this."
