I loved how they portrayed BRB in this film. In my opinion, this is how they should have portrayed Thor in the "Hulk vs. Thor" film. Thor in that film was beat up and was shown completely no respect. BRB here on the other hand kicks major arse!
I'm glad they changed surfer with BRB, as BRB is a more physical fighter and fits better into an arena setting.
Anybody who agrees with me give me a hell yeah!
Absolutely. Although the idea of BRB (movie), Thor, Surfer, Sentry or pretty much any of WWH's powerhouse victims being beaten by him still annoys me. At least he was kicking Hulk's arse when he wanted to.
oh, and HELL YEAH!
YEAH! Although it was strange how HULK was weak(er) throughout, i guess due to the device on his chest but he still managed to kick BRB in the end...it would have been good to see BRB come out on top once his chest device was removed instead of letting HULK smash his face in.
shareDisagree. The fact that the Surfer is not a "gladiator-type" fighter makes him a much cooler opponent and a gives a much bigger impact to seeing him forced in that setting.
That said, no tears shed over the very cool Beta Ray Bill getting some screen time.
The whole movie was awesome, HELL YEAH!
shareNever heard of the character before seeing this movie, but he's alright here.

I hadn't heard of Beta Ray Bill either. I've been out of the comic book scene for many years now but I just stumbled onto this movie on Disney XD. The Hulk was always my favorite so decided to check it out. Good movie with great fight sequences. Anyway, this BRB character is very cool. When Hulk had him down even I said to myself "Don't kill him!" lol
On a different note: Disney manages to squeeze in an insane amount of marketing. Parents (and their wallets) don't stand a chance.
If it pays right and it's legal, I'll do it.
.......Well......if it pays right, I'll do it.
I gotta tell ya seeing BRB was a blast from the past. The last time I read a story with him in it was 1980 something. It was crazy to see him animated.

Greetings,
Need I say more? You are remembered.
After seeing this,I think my boy BRB is physically stronger than Thor. He got major props in this film.
sharePhysically he's probably a quite a bit weaker than Thor. He was biologically engineered by his race as a protector, so he was naturally pretty strong, but that's not where his comic/animation strength comes from.
Thor has a crossover with BRB at a point, and it's found out that BRB is of such pure heart and virtue he was able to wield Thor's hammer, a feat only a couple beings in the universe have been capable of. I don't mean pick it up with brute force ala Hulk, the hammer recognized him as a wielder.
So a separate hammer was made for BRB with almost the exact same properties of Thor, which gave him essentially the same powers and strength of Thor. Thor being the original and an actual Asguardian God though makes him stronger.
Sorry my nerd is showing.
Technically, the two should be about equal in combat. Bill's hammer gives him virtually the same powers as Thor. The difference was the film writers. Chris Yost, the writer of Hulk vs, always portrays Hulk as superior to Thor in whatever he writers or has a direct hand in. This is the same in the other films or works like Avengers: EMH. Planet Hulk had a different writer and director so I think that was one reason BRB was given more props.
shareAs for Thor vs BRB that's almost exactly what I said. In the Marvel universe though...Thor would still win simply due to the fact that he's one of the most popular comic heroes ever and BRB is more of a cult comic hero.
Also the Hulk is portrayed stronger than Thor some 90%+ of the time in the comics. When it comes down to it...Hulk really is strongest. Especially since Hulk can absorb both ambient and magical energy, not to mention simply gaining strength and power with rage...no one beats hulk in a 1v1 fight, and if they do it's extremely short lived.
Not that I don't like Thor or BRB...but Hulk can kick the crap out of both of them 9/10 times.
Hulk has been defeated plenty of times over the years in one on one fights. Its only in the last few years Marvel has been portraying him as nearly invincible. He can't absorb energy like you state. Sometimes he is able to absorb gamma energy other times it has weird effects on him. Same with magic.
Thor has fought the Hulk plenty of times in the comics 99% of the time it is a draw with both sides getting their licks in. Hulk is sometimes portrayed as stronger, but not to such an extent where Thor is nothing but a punching bag.
Seriously, in Hulk vs they had Thor literally just lay on the steps as the Hulk beat him. He might as well have been over for the Hulk. In the comics Thor is always able to match the Hulk blow for blow. Planet Hulk showed their fights better and Hulk one won against BRB thanks to Bill being distracted. Hulk vs was a joke in showing how a fight between Thor and Hulk would go.
Late to the party in regards to responding, but WRONG.
Hulk can absorb all forms of ambient energy if necessary. All hulk incarnations throughout the comics have one thing in common, that being, they adapt to the situation and personality. The "hulk" is capable of achieving almost any adaptation needed to survive and be the strongest.
It's true he has been beaten many times in the comics, but it's always with psychology, personal relationships, mental manipulation, and occasionally things like gas or sound.
BUT...and this was my point, Hulk always adapts and overcomes said weaknesses. Hulk ALWAYS wins eventually as long as he wants to. Banner and hulk have both submitted many times in the comics when they've lost heart, I don't consider those loses, but more concededing defeat.
As for his energy absorption, new or not (which there's been several references throughout the comics, regardless of them being consistent depending on the writer), is portrayed best by his fight with Sentry duing the World War Hulk culmination. Hulk had adapted and absorbed so much energy that he risked destroying the entire planet, so he willingly let himself be defeated by Starks satellite.

Yep, if we're talking strictly comics then Thor is almost always given the edges. For starters Thor never uses the fullest of his abilities. He holds back to have a honorable fight, plus cutting loose wouldn't be good for the planet the fight is on. It's almost always just a slugfest often without the hammer (at least it used to be). Yet he has always been able to match him. When Thor does win it's at least a knock out. Not really the same the other way around. That fight people like to use that has Thor on the ground with his hand to a face with blood dripping. Thor gets right back up and is prepared to continue moments later. But just before that there is a panel of Hulk jumping away, which is pretty much how Hulk's "wins" go.
Hulk is more a household name, tv shows and movies tend to showcase the fan favorite and adaptions don't focus on replicating things exact. But this becomes what people get used to seeing so it becomes public opinion. Not that there's anything wrong with that, nor should they work on translating every bit of the comics to the screen but a showdown like what happened in Hulk Vs, you have to wonder what the writer was thinking.
