Which design do you like?


I think the Hulk in this movie looks more monstrous as compared to the much greener version in The Avengers. Which do you like better?

reply

I thought he looked more monstrous in "The Avengers," and that's the way I like him. Of course, part of the reason why he looked better in that movie is because it was made later. CGI advances so quickly that a few years can make a huge difference with how believable it looks.

2008 Hulk looks the best.

The Avengers' Hulk looks retarded.

I preferred the TIH version, a lot.

However I don't knock the issues with the Avengers appearance. Considering all of the additional effects required in Avengers, it would had been too much to duplicate the level of detail in the earlier film.

All three versions of the Hulk have been good. I like this one least, but it's marginal and doesn't matter.

Calling disagreement hate is childish.

The Hulk in the 2003 film. I prefer Hulk being huge and bright green. There was a lot of attention to detail by ILM like water dripping down the Hulk's skin which looked pretty realistic.

I preferred the 08 hulk, IMO he was much more commanding than in the avengers where he is so gorilla like. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of all the MCU movies but I really disliked how at times he was on his knuckles and the little exhale after he punched Thor seemed very ape-ish to me

reply

I agree. I too didn't like the ape-like poses in Avengers, and overall I prefered the design in The Incredible Hulk which was much more lean, mean and pure muscle with no fat.

reply

The Avengers version looks more like how I envisioned Hulk. And the reason why is that both Hulk designs are based on the actors and Ruffalo just looks more like his green counterpart. I couldn't quite buy into Norton and his Hulk being the same guy.

I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you stranger

1: HULK (2003). Much closer to how I imagined him. I prefer the greener tone, his larger physique and his healing factor. Also that his power grows when angered, this part is what really put unimaginable dimensions to his strengths and part of my fascination for sure. In my view ILM put more detail to him, than R&H put in "The Incredible Hulk (2008)"; e.g. like when he is in the rain, sunlight, submerged under water, frostbitten etc, also the different anger levels differentiated more here than in the last installment etc.

Another important part of HULK is how he moves. And I think they got that down very well in the first one. In fact, it is only in HULK (2003) that really got the jumping part very close to its comics version. I missed this and "THE INCREDIBLE" only shows him jumping a few stories high, which is a shame. They could have easily put it in the background when he e.g. escaped from Brazil.

2: THE AVENGERS (2012). A step up from "THE INCREDIBLE" and more rough and in a way primitive. A close second.

3: THE INCREDIBLE HULK (2008). My least favorite. He is too uniform, always dirty in the same way and sort of undynamic, if you know what I mean. Green or gray, not sure.... not good. I think he looks too wimpy (dare I say, too human like) and his facial impressions are often a tad too touchy-feely for a hulk of any kind. They Also reduced his size which I am no fan of, and skipped that his strengthens grows unparalleled when angered. In fact it seemed as though he had only two stages: angry and normal. I think this is misunderstanding his brute force and his unique potential. He is in a sense untouchable as his powers grows with his anger, and the movie ignored it for the cost of making him more human and relatable (i am guessing), which imo is misunderstanding HULK completely.
