SPOILER ALERT: Tony Stark Cameos In The Incredible Hulk

Do you guys remember when Iron Man came out? That was forever ago. I wonder what's up with him.

I know that the Hulk and Iron Man mythologies have been around for almost 50 years so there's plenty of historical precedence for co-mingling the heroes, but that still seems like pretty fast turn-around on the cross-promotional marketing. You know that scene is going to be kind of a dud because they must have filmed it with the option of cutting it in the event that Iron Man iron bombed. Also, SPOILER ALERT DavidBruce Banner doesn't Hulk out on the subway. A rare miss, Hollywood. That would be been great, a scene where he Hulks out in the subway? Because the subway is so FRUSTRATING. It's like a cattle car, have you guys ever noticed that? We're packed in like sardines in there! Seriously, though, Hulk, relax. I remember thinking the Hulk was the best when I was a kid, because he fought for injustice. Not it seems like they're running a little fast and loose with the rage issues these days. He gets so mad about everything. If the Hulk was on the Real World he would get kicked off the Real World for making the other housemates uncomfortable.

You're all mixed up. The Hulk is the most selfish of the original Marvel characters. He just wants himself to be chill all the time and not rage out! He is like David from Real World Seattle.

(No jokes here, just superhero real talk.)

i dunno, the Thing, is pretty selfish. 'i hate that i look like a rock. no one wants to touch me. i don't want to be a hero. i wish i were dead.' looks like someone should call up 1-800-boo-hooo ext. waah-waah.

I don't know, I always wanted to think that David Banner was the Hulk, but turns out, my favorite southern rapper isn't the same as Bruce Banner. Sigh.

No, that's part of the re-boot.

Considering that I still refuse to see this because a) the first Hulk film was so terrible and b) Edward Norton can suck it, the Tony Stark thing probably was set up so that it could be cut if the movie bombed out. It's a good thing they didn't do the reverse and put Banner in the Iron Man movie (talk about finding a way to ruin a perfectly good film).

Just realized that Edward Norton has no range. I thought that was a scene from Fight Club. Bummer.
