The cool thing was it was a much more internalized, less ego-driven intelligence, and that would be cool to see smack up against Stark. <br /><br />But that's not really my point. The point is, Marvel makes HUGE hay about the "Marvel Movie Universe," yet their actions don't work to really form that universe. "The Incredible Hulk" was a cornerstone of this whole "plan," and they're tossing it out. If you talk the talk, walk the walk.mpjedi2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08692756479105537432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783710150431573951.post-8180083189409340582010-07-12T16:58:40.880-07:002010-07-12T16:58:40.880-07:00Much ado about nothing. Norton accomplished nothin...Much ado about nothing. Norton accomplished nothing more than any other competent actor would have done with the part. He hardly made an indelible impression- and I like his work, recall. No axe to grind here. Comic fans identify with Norton; he's one of us, and he's made comments that demonstrate his knowledge of and affection for the medium. But... he's not a box office draw, the public did not connect with him... And for what is likely to be an extended cameo at best? This has zero real world impact. I have an idea, though. Norton's portrayal of Banner owed a lot to the late Bill Bixby... if the part is small enough... and they want a geek moment that will resonate wildly and help promote this picture to fandom AND everyone else... why not use a digitized Bixby?Kendall Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594089963550628891noreply@blogger.com
