Eric Bana

Ruffalo is awful. I can understand not liking Norton but Ruffalo is a shit replacement.

He wasn't ever bruce banner.
Was he?

I like ruffalo

Yes he did. Hulk 2003.

>Edward Norton lost the role for Avengers because he's a gigantic douchebag.

He literally demanded screen time in every scene, and the producers said thanks, but no thanks.

Now he basically cannot work in hollywood.

ed norton is a great actor but the new guy is much better

better at being the hulk and just capeshit in general I mean, not acting ability

Get out you fucking child.

Plz leave.

I just hope they drop the stupid BannerXBlack Widow forced relationship from Ultron movie, was so fucking retarded.

Hulk is just not a good live action character.

Fpbp

I hope they take the relationship even further. I hope the next two decades of the MCU see the introduction and upbringing of little half-Ruskie Hulk baby.
Maybe he could have a rivalry with Skaar. One identifying as Banner's kid, the other as Hulk's son.

...

The more I watch of Ed Norton the more I realize he's a hack. Honestly these are both terrible Bruce Banners but I'm afraid of what would replace Mark so whatever.

Only Jennifer Connelly can quell my rage...

Edward Norton was literally the perfect Banner. It was the kind of inspired casting that sits alongside Patrick Stewart for Professor Xavier, Wesley Snipes for Blade, Kelsey Grammer for Beast or Ryan Reddit for Deadpool.

What the fuck is wrong with her eyebrows.

Bullshit. Marvel wanted Norton for Hulk badly and Norton agreed with the condition that he'd be given creative control. Marvel said sure and Norton signed on. When Norton tried to push the movie into darker waters, starting with Bruce Banner's attempted suicide and discovering that the Hulk stopped him from killing himself, leading to a more character driven movie, Marvel reneged on their agreement and tried to make the movie more slapstick and quippy.

Both Norton and the director fought Marvel, but Marvel started to slander them in the media so they dropped it and let Marvel have their way so they wouldn't get a reputation of being hard to work with.

Norton got the reputation anyway, produced just an "okayish" movie with their changes, and still got ousted from the Avengers.

My only problem with Ruffalo is that I don't really believe him in the scenes where's he's supposed to be upset about his blessing/curse of being The Hulk.

I think Norton and Bana sold it better.

They’re hers. She grew them. Been there since Bowie.

Yeah but most people's eyebrows have some kind of inner and outer curvature.

The middle of her eyebrows are straight as a ruler, like she has a unibrow that she just shaves a line between.

Brows and Bowie

This. Norton's reputation is deserved from some of the other movies he worked on, but with the Hulk it was literally the studio that was in the wrong.

Only Sam Elliot is worthy to pursue me...

That Danny Elfman soundtrack was fucking godly too

>Patrick Stewart for Professor Xavier
>Kelsey Grammer for Beast
>Huge Jackedman for Wolverine
>Ian McKellan for Magneto
>Halle Berry for Storm

Seriously, whoever was casting director for X-Men deserves daily blowjobs.

Norton is far superior than Ruffalo. That hack plays the same character. Hell Bana is better actor. And if you like Ruffalo you have shit taste.

>I just hope they drop the stupid BannerXBlack Widow forced relationship from Ultron movie

They touched upon it again in Ragnarok. It'll more than likely be back.

why nobody in universe questioned how his eye colour changed??

He comes off as goofy everytime, no range at all

>Seriously, whoever was casting director for X-Men deserves daily blowjobs.
It’s more of pool party situation, but the result is the same.

I like Ruffalo because he's kind of dumpy and weird looking. Bruce Banner ought to be sort of ordinary and out of place next to the other supes, to make his transformation into the Hulk more striking.

And they used the fucking idea anyway

"The other guy spit it out"

But hey much better for every character to be quipping and quirky then for them to have their own actual personalities

>tfw they kept changing the hulk actor and my autism shit its pants so i just stopped watching marvel films
probably for the best tbqh

Kids don't even know about the best Hulk...

Last three are shit casting. Wolverine's most distinctive feature in the comics is that he's a tiny manlet at 5'3". Half the nicknames he has are because he's tiny. They cast 6'3" Jackman.

Magneto in the comics is a /fit/ German that has resisted aging. They got a British accented paunchy sallow-faced old man to play him.

And Storm is a dark-skinned pure Grace Jones-tier African. Halle Berry is the whitest nigger in Hollywood.

>the whitest nigger in Hollywood
That’s listed on her IMDb. Not even joking.

Sorry, dude...that’s David Banner. Completely different guy.

romanov cannot into ovaries

You traded Sam Elliott for THIS?

I liked Bana Hulk as a stand alone movie, but I can see how Norton Hulk would be a better franchise. He played it as a happy nerd, and he made Banner seem more capable in human form, instead of just walking around, waiting for the green dude to show up and kick everyone’s ass, which is what I feel like Ruffalo does.

from the thumbnail pic I thought he just had a really big ass

I think the recast was for the best. I can't really see Norton gelling well with how the movies are nowadays compared to 2008.

New guy. No contest. Norton is kind of a prick.

capekino coming through

Norton Hulk was the best looking Hulk too. Bana Hulk was terrible CGI and Ruffalo Hulk looks too apeish. Probably the sloping forehead and pronounced upper lip.

The best Banner has been and always will be Bruce Bixby. Even though that show was made before I was born, he is the epitome of Banner, with all his compassion and flaws.

why do I get the feeling they hired him because his name was kind of similar to the character

I really can't take Ruffalo seriously as a stodgy scientist with anger issues.
At least with Norton's character/performance there were hints of something aggressive buried deep in him, Ruffalo's character/performance is just so goody goody so it makes no sense that he's hiding a beast inside him.
Or maybe it's just that Ruffalo has been a secondary character in all his appearances so we haven't really got a more developed POV characterization from him yet.

Except for the fact that Norton does not seem intelligent as all.

Neither does Ruffalo

14 fucking years and the CGI barely improved.

Ah, well, that's probably for the best.

I do wonder if we're going to get an MCU Skaar. With what Ragnorok established, the Valkyrie could easily be the mother.

JCon is too attractive in this movie, I can't pay attention to the movie

I liked it. I hope they keep it.

Get the fuck out of here Ruffalo, you balding fatass.

For sure, it was the only one that avoided the "slight down's syndrome" look

yeah except ruffalo hulk is the closest to the comics

...

Depends on the comic. Norton's is frequently the more accurate.

>Norton got the reputation anyway
he had it from other movies

Wrong.

Ruffalo's banner is nerdy and smart.

Norton's banner is jason bourne.

so are most actors, doesn't mean they shouldn't get roles

Which is why he let the studio have their way, to combat that image. Didn't work though. Look at this thread alone, half the people here have the story wrong and think he was being a prima donna.

Norton easily he can actually act and tried to bring some depth to the movies/character Ruffalo fits the braindead capeshit pigslop better though the less he's actually on screen the better which works perfectly for the movies.

Depends on who you ask. Probably ruffalo to be honest.
What?

Norton is worth over 70 million dollars. He should have won an oscar with Birdman, 2014. He's been doing independent movies over the last 5 years and his movies even though they are little indie movies have made over a billion dollars.

Jesus do some fucking research. The guy has basically retired and has even said so since 2010 and still is making bank. He's been acting non stop since 1996.

Norton was a notorious dick well before TIH. He’s a rich, spoiled brat.

This, when I found out Edward Norton didn't read any of the fucking comics to get into character and somehow played Banners character as if I was reading the comics all over again. It truly was a testament to the man's acting ability . Rufallo sucks, even bana did a better job as bruce but ruffalo's "beta" testing acting , between that and whedon's fucking black widow shipping nonsense., no thanks. Also Norton's is similar in body and facial structure to how banner is illustrated............unlike ruffalo who looks more like hank mccoy than bruce banner

Look at this montage while the original ive action theme song plays now imagine ruffalo doing those scenes..............

fucking gays .....ruining a straight mans perfectly good shower

>Norton's banner is jason bourne.

have you ever read the incredible hulk they illustrated his life on the run just the same

ruffalo looks le 56%

>When Norton tried to push the movie into darker waters, starting with Bruce Banner's attempted suicide and discovering that the Hulk stopped him from killing himself
And then Marvel literally turned this into a one liner quip.

me too damn it
same goes for a beautiful mind

Norton fits Bruce better, Mark made the character more likable.
>NOT loving BUTTFUCK IN THE PUSSY
Just leave already pleb.

T. Mark Ruffalo

Like that one album cover.
Someone post it.

Hulk has always looked kind of apeish in the comics. I always thought Norton hulks refined features looked kind of weird.

Eric Bana Hulk film is the only trur patrician choice.
Rest are for reddit plebs.

both are good. Bruce Banner is not a complicated character to portray.

I think it's similar to videogame AI - after a certain point the progress isn't worth it and people are comfortable with what's available

>not a complicated character to portray
>one gets it down perfectly the other is a bumblefuck in comparison to the actual character

you still can't tell the difference in performance ability..................
