Bad guys want to steal main character's powers while not understanding it's dangerous, hero solves this problem by punching them after they go MAD WITH POWER. It's kinda the plot of Iron Man without the better bits of Iron Man.quote:I disagree that it's hard to make a good Hulk movie. It's Jekyll and Hyde meets Frankenstein with Beauty and the Beast tossed in. That sounds plenty generic.

IMO the need for a hulk story to be dark went out the window after ragnarok because now hulk can talk and be funny

I think an actionpacked Ragnarok style movie with some serious elements thrown in here and there would fit the hulk best. Give him bombastic enemies to fight in bombastic settings so you can utilize his INFINITE RAGE POWER. Throw in some adventurous fun instead of only grimdarkness and give him a strong supporting cast you know like in planet hulk

Okay, sure Hulk could be a success with a RDJ-tier actor, but you're not really making the case that making Hulk a success would be easy. Also intrinsically doing a Tony Stark on the Hulk is a bit tougher because while RDJ can act while in the suit, trying to do a cool Banner means less Hulk time.

The 35mm screening of Hateful Eight with the programs and intermission was very cool. Stretched my legs, took a piss, and read some of the program during the intermission.

Ava Duvernay (13th, Selma, a Wrinkle in Time) signed on for a New Gods movie http://deadline.com/2018/03/ava-duvernay-new-gods-movie-warner-bros-dc-jack-kirby-1202338680/ If a Wrinkle In Time is anything, it's bananas colourful looking, so hopefully she'll be able to break off from Snyder's Grey Fourth World depiction. edit: Or keep it for Apokolips and present a complete opposite for the New Genesis side. ee: Y'know. If they manage to keep her on the project. eee: Oprah would be an incredible Granny Goodness. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Mar 15, 2018 |

Unlucky7 posted:The moment does kind of stretch the concept of the Hulk as a misunderstood monster that just wants to be left alone to near its breaking point, unless you want to argue that the Hulk is subconsciously creating situations where the people he does attack do get out alive. You think? Hulk's always been a "I won't start a fight, but I will end it" kind of guy to me. He could've ripped him in half. Plus he then immediately runs away with Betty to....some place far away.

Lurdiak posted:Eh, I dunno. You don't have to get THAT dark and psychological to make Hulk interesting. Just do it as pulp like the old stuff. As long as you make the conflict Hulk vs the world and not "Hulk has to stop a baddie", it seems pretty simple to me. But both movies stumbled by making the military like, want to use him as a weapon, which makes them outright villains instead of just people who misunderstand and fear him. Like yes, the original "created by a bomb" origin was pretty starkly anti-military in its own way, but the dynamics of the monster being feared for his power and reacting like a huge rear end in a top hat about it, resulting in chaos that could've been avoided, that's Frankenstein-style romanticism and tragedy. If he's just a guy who doesn't want to be caged and turned into a WMD, then he's 100% in the right to blow them the gently caress up and objectively preventing more damage than he's causing. Agree with all this. Just treat him like Frankenstein and have the military stand in for the villagers with the torches. I think if you boil him down to his essence it's a really easy and simply story to tell. Like I said, a 40 year old TV show did pretty well with it. From there, you can add layers of complexity to make the tale more modern and give it some context or add layers to him. Ang Lee tried and his effort was noble but it sort of collapsed under its own weight in a way. It's sort of similar to the way people overthink Godzilla or King Kong when really all they represent are big, scary uncontrollable monsters who can't help being dangerous and who frighten the Christ out of everyone. Hulk's not a particularly deep character at his core. Maybe he's hard to write because of his simplicity and the tale has been told so often. Fangz posted:That sounds plenty generic. It is. That's why I don't think the character is all that hard to write. He might be hard to write in an original or new way but at his heart he's just a classic story that's stood the test of time and been reinterpreted and updated. Shakespeare's works, Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie... I get that it's cliche in a sense and that's most certainly the challenge but his roots are classic and retold for a reason.

Fun fact: she is apparently friendly with Abrams and it was her idea for Rey to close her eyes and use the Force to calm herself in her fight with Kylo Ren at the end of TFA.

Yeah she should just violate her contract and get sued, lose her SAG card and gently caress her entire career so she can have 20 minutes in a film.
