Ang Lee's Hulk vs. uh.. Norton's Hulk

You know, come to think of it, Bardock might be right. I don't seem to like very many Marvel characters, either.

I, on the other hand, do like Marvel characters very much. What I don't like about Marvel is how they're writing the characters or the stories. Any marvel fanboy coming here and telling me that OMD or WWH or even Civil War are good stories for the characters is wasting his time. I don't buy it for a second. It's the same when other bat-heads tell me that Morrison is doing a great job in the Batman book. It's pure nonsense! Anyone with common sense can clearly see that Paul Dini work on TEC is far above Morrison. Love the characters...critique the stories...that's what I'm all about.

Then it is mighty good that we're not going around trying to do that, isn't it? As far as I can tell, you're the one trying so desperately to have a pop at the character (Hulk) you claim to like, at every possible opportunity, irrespective of storyline or whatever. Nor am I the only one noticing this.

I like various Hulk storylines. I like Hulk: Grey, I like Future Imperfect, I like World War Hulk, and I respect that you don't. I am also more than aware that all you need is to see the letters "Hu..." and you go off on one, so the last thing any sensible fan would do is bait you, because this has gone somewhat far enough. One wrong word for or against someone you like/dislike and you're off starting spam threads...sorry, "joke" threads.

It's just a shame you can't afford everyone else the same courtesy. Nobody is stalking you, trying to convince you of anything. You just seem intent on telling us how much World War Hulk made you somehow defy science and start a menstrual cycle, and to be fair, Dwarf, we honestly couldn't give a sh*t. You don't like it? I respect that, try it sometime, instead of branding someone a fanboy and a sucker for, heaven forbid, liking a storyline you didn't. You have every single right to express your opinion, no matter how ill-informed and uneducated it may be, and I'd defend your right to it, but insisting that people are forcing shit on you, "coming to (you)" is ridiculous.

We can't actually seem to have a movie thread involving Hulk without you piping in with Haterade.

Note the healing factor at 1:01. That was more or less what I was referring to. I thought that it was a low yield nuke...I could be mistaken. He DID survive the gamma bomb, though...which would more than serve to prove my point.

Also, Ang Lee's DID use objects around him. He used one of tanks turrets to block an incoming shell, just like a shield. He then later uses like a baseball bat on one of the tanks. Very similar to TIH. Also, Ang Lee's Hulk seemed to be more intelligent than TIH towards the end of the Ang Lee film. He formed a complete coherent statement at the end of the film when his father was absorbing his powers. He said, "Then go ahead and take it all." He also used tactics against the helicopters in the desert.

One thing I forgot all about...

Ang Lee's Hulk was faster.

New Hulk is smarter and more recourceful. But Lee's Hulk could leap higher and move faster.

"In this film, the madder the Hulk gets, the larger he becomes. The first time he appears, he is 9 feet tall, the second time he is 12 feet and the third time he is 15 feet tall. His skin would also be coloured grayish-green in his first appearance, and afterwards remain greenish. The ILM animators thus had to create three distinctly different Hulks."

"According to the animators at Industrial Light & Magic, the Hulk weighs 3452 lbs, and can exert 14 tons of pressure/inch2. His skin is 10 times as strong as Kevlar. His chest measures 208 inches, his waist 130 inches, his foot 51 inches and his neck 81 inches. If he wore shoes, they would be size 87. He can move at a top speed of 300 mph and cross 3-4 miles in a single jump."

Ang lee's interpretation seems unarguably more powerful, but the new Hulk feels more savage and badass in every way.

First of all: Ang Lee's Hulk for the win. Bigger, stronger, healed faster. 2008 Hulk looked meaner and more realistic (even the thighs were better proportioned), but I prefer my Hulks a little blockier, and I don't need to see every single muscle fiber even when he's at rest.

Secondly: I find Banner-Hulk a near-perfect literary character. Who hasn't ever wrestled with their anger; who's never wished to sometimes "Hulk out?" Major catharsis. This is classic Man vs Himself, perhaps best exemplified by Jekyll and Hyde.

Thirdly: is there such a thing as a "gamma bomb"? Afaik, there are varying degrees of nuclear explosion "cleanliness" (ratio of radiation to shockwave); and electron-positron pairs convert to gamma rays; and there are cobalt bombs...but I don't believe there is a real "gamma bomb" (whatever that actually means; maybe an electron-positron warhead?)

Well Ang Lee's Hulk took a Gamma Bomb, showed greater strength and reflexes and had better healing, so I would say Ang Lee.

Norton's Hulk showed a lot more cunning and intelligence than Ang Lee's, so my money's on him.

I just saw the newer Hulk recently and I have to say that the Ang Hulk seems faster and stronger than the new one. Here are some obversations:

*The newer Hulk was not shown to have half the jumping ability as the old Hulk.
* He seemed to run not nearly as fast, for example army Jeeps were keeping up with him.
*He didn't fling Tanks and Heli's around.
EDIT: he did but did not fling them nearly as far.
*He did not jump up and catch a helicopter like the old Hulk could do.
* Bullets seemed to hurt him more than they should have (for example the park scene)... I don't know if they had this affect on the Ang hulk.

Even IF could say that the new Hulk was nearly equal on strength and stamina, there is no way he is faster. So my bet is on OLD HULK.

On a side note: In the newer Hulk movie it was bad-ass to see him do a thunderclap 🙂 .

Why is he still called Ang Lee's Hulk? I could've sworn I saw Eric Bana change into the Hulk in that movie...

Anyway, this fight could go on for quite a while, but I believe Norton's Hulk would win. He's much more savage & brutal.

As far as likes go New Hulk. But Lee's could win this. He showed off some ridiculous stuff.

Yep, he was too overpowered, actually, and that's one thing that turned a lot of people off, so to speak. Norton's Hulk was a bit better in that he wasn't too powerful, and yet, he wasn't weak either.
