Except the smell doesn't hit me until I go home and realize I paid waaaay too much for motion sickness.

<a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2010/07/thor-3d-captain-america-3d-comiccon-marvel-studios.html>It's official: 'Thor' and 'Captain America' will be 3-D films[/url]. <insert Krusty groan here>

Article also mentions Ed Norton being sacked from the Avengers movie but I haven't seen either Hulk movie anyway and don't intend to so it doesn't really affect me imo. I guess, whatever, right? I'll just be watching it in 2D anyway. This craze just annoys the piss outta me.

At least it is not post production. Filmed in 3D it could be amazing.

I'm upset about the Edward Norton firing, I think he was wonderful as Banner.

Rama · « **Reply #3 on:** Jul 15, 2010, 02:05:20 PM »

I really liked him too. The 2nd Hulk was leap and bounds better then the first one. Kinda hoping they just drop the HULK from the Avengers movie completely now. I wouldn't want to see someone else step into Norton's shoes. And even though Hulk was a founding member of the Avengers he is hardly an iconic one like Cap, Iron Man, and Thor are.

Derrick · « **Reply #4 on:** Jul 15, 2010, 02:16:18 PM »

It'd be nice if they go the Ultimates route where the Avengers form to contain the Hulk, but I already know they're going ALIUMS!

Rama · « **Reply #5 on:** Jul 15, 2010, 02:41:12 PM »

I wish they wouldn't use the Alien story. I'd rather see a collection of bad guys (from past films) band together and the Avengers have to stop them. I'll be honest. I never understood the Hulk books. He is suppose to be a hero, but he acts like a bad guy most of the time. I mean it's about a man and his struggle with his inner demons and trying to keep them under control, but Hulk is always being sold as Hero, which he clearly is not. At least not in the way like Spider-Man is.

Derrick · « **Reply #6 on:** Jul 15, 2010, 04:19:18 PM »

Which is why Hulk as the Villain would rock.

B E C K · « **Reply #7 on:** Jul 16, 2010, 01:35:33 AM »

It muchly would. Rumors seem to swirling that Mark Ruffalo may replace Norton. I best know him as the cop in Collateral that saves Jamie Fox in the club only to get shot by Tom Cruise. He also came out in Zodiac, but I don't remember who he was; just that Elias Koteas is old.

Rama · « **Reply #8 on:** Jul 16, 2010, 01:48:18 AM »

But he is also Casey Jones. So it's ok.

Derrick · « **Reply #9 on:** Jul 16, 2010, 11:09:11 AM »

The new X-Men movie casting is just wierd.

Fiero · « **Reply #10 on:** Jul 16, 2010, 11:57:55 AM »

I am not sure that they could make that movie worse than X3.

Rama · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 16, 2010, 12:12:30 PM »

Shhhhhh...don't say that. They'll prove you wrong.

Fiero · « **Reply #12 on:** Jul 16, 2010, 01:00:59 PM »

Fuck. You are right.

Stop it with the 3D!!!

Rama · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 17, 2010, 06:24:09 PM »

I think it will die out at some point, but at the moment it's making studios and theaters too much money. The new will wear off and costs will only go up, so it'll fall out of favor at some point. The only thing that can save it would be 3D without glasses.

Fiero · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 18, 2010, 12:44:50 AM »

If it can work on a handheld, it can work on a larger screen.

Rama · « **Reply #16 on:** Jul 18, 2010, 01:06:54 AM »

Yeah that Nintendo announcement was pretty exciting, but who knows if that can work with a projected image. As I understood it's actually the screen that makes it work, that won't work in a movie theater. And I doubt Theaters will be too happy about buying yet another expensive system after they just bought the new 3D projectors. If the public demands it and they can make work, I can see it working. Might still just extend the life of the fad by a few years.

I'm already expecting it at this point. I'll content myself with X-Men and X2 and be glad they didn't completely ruin those.

Why are we all pretending that super heroes work in live action? They always cheap out on the special effects and the rubber suits look like shit. The studios should just drop the live action actors and switch to photo realistic CG animation, like the Final Fantasy movies. Imagine if they made animated movies that looked like this

Derrick · « **Reply #19 on:** Jul 18, 2010, 10:54:57 AM »

They do those movies straight to DVD, and they're just as bad as the live-action movies.

Fiero · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 18, 2010, 01:10:12 PM »

Those movies do not have animation quality as high as the FF movies.

Derrick · « **Reply #21 on:** Jul 18, 2010, 03:00:49 PM »

To be fair, I enjoyed the first two X-Men, The Second Hulk, the First Punisher, and both Iron Man movies. Spider-Man was eh, the second Punisher, First Hulk, and third X-Men was awful. The Wolverine Movie felt odd, not like a Marvel movie. The FFour movies were abominations SAVE for the Thing and Human torch. I liked the first blade, but the other two felt like made-for-tv movies.

Fiero · « **Reply #22 on:** Jul 18, 2010, 06:03:08 PM »

I would like to see an continuation of Iron Man quality comic book movies.

I always had a thing for Thor. Gotta like them guys with long hair.

Do you refer just to Marvel or Marvel AND DC? Because I think the DC ones have been pretty gosh-darn good so far. Especially compared to Marvel's recent live-action movies.

Fiero · « **Reply #25 on:** Jul 19, 2010, 02:51:29 AM »

I have enjoyed all of the DC animated films of the last few years that I have seen. The Marvel ones are not awful, though.

Hulk might be the most interesting character in the Marvel Universe. He's gone from being misunderstood out of control monster to suit wearing super genius thug then a super powered super genius and now he's back to misunderstood monster. He's probably grown and changed more than any other Marvel character.

Rama · « **Reply #27 on:** Jul 20, 2010, 01:43:13 PM »

I think they almost have to keep changing him cause they just don't know what to do with him. To me he's like superman, he's never in any danger. No one could beat him, so he is boring. He does at least have the whole monster inside to keep more compelling, but at the end of the day I'll always pick a book like Spider-Man or X-Men over Hulk.

Hulk be evil! Hulk made this better movie by being evil! Hulk speak in third person!

Are you thinking of Grimlock?
