-ish, the issue is Paramount somehow owns the right to solo Hulk films and somehow doesn't want to make a hojillion dollars, so Marvel has to tack on Hulk character development into other guys' movies. Also I think the Planet Hulk stuff is just going to be the middle part of the film, and stuff like the rock guy and gladiator combat are more nods to the comics rather than intended to be an adaptation of a story where Hulk goes to a war planet and frees the oppressed there.

Universal (not Paramount) has right of first refusal for *distribution* of solo Hulk movies. They don't have production rights. It's entirely Marvel not wanting to give up that part of the pie, not Universal not wanting to make a movie.

so they're really doing planet hulk but with Thor as the main character?

It's a combination of comic stories. Like Zoux, I think the gladiator combat is only going to be around the middle of the film. Thor is going to escape and with the help of friends take back Asgard in the third act.

Watchmen was visually nice (though a bit too desaturated and the Snyder slow-fast-slow direction of action sequences was egregious), but that's the only praise I'll give it.

The only things that sucked in The Incredible Hulk were the weird design of the Hulk's musculature and Liv Tyler. And even then, she wore white in a rainstorm at the end, so there is that.

Agreed. I'm still kinda bummed that Edward Norton is so hard to work with because I want to see more adventures of Norton Banner.

Movie also set up so many interesting things that were never followed through on which will forever upset me.

Aside from his difficult personality, Norton just had no interest in making a movie that fit into a largely kid-friendly connected universe, and it kinda shows when you watch the film. Even with the stuff they cut out, it's obvious the movie was trying to be way grimier and adult than what Marvel Studios wanted it to be.

Don't know if it's looks good necessarily but intriguing at least. With the horror theme, is Illanya and her powers presumably be a big part of it?

I mean I knew it was gonna be a horror film but not...this much.

I'm also super tired of mental asylums being used as stock haunted house settings.

e: Okay after giving it like fifteen seconds more thought, I will give them credit for finding a pretty unique thing to do with these characters. More superhero franchises should try to take such risks (but not...y'know...in a Snydery way). It's also an interesting way of differentiating this whole "bunch of new young X-Men learning the ropes" franchise from the usual X-Men films, considering that those also currently consist of just a bunch of new young X-Men learning the ropes.

I'm confused.

It looks like a horror movie. Not a comic book adaptation with horror elements. Just a straight-up horror movie. If they didn't say the word "mutant" I wouldn't even think this had anything to do with comic books.

Not saying every adaptation has to be a fun action romp, but this trailer just didn't convey to me "A horror take on a comic book." More just "Like any other horror movie in the last decade."
