The original space-time 08 version of Hulk, many people can't remember it clearly, because it feels like he doesn't have much connection with the Marvel Universe.

In fact, what many people don't know is that this version of the Hulk is actually part of the real Marvel Universe.

In the earlier 03 years, there was actually a version of the Hulk, and it was directed by the famous director Ann Lee, and the use of special effects was also quite good, but this version has nothing to do with Marvel at all, because it was produced by Universal Pictures. And the 08 version of Hulk, which is genuine, is a movie produced by Marvel Shadow Tooth. So, since it is a Marvel Studios movie, why do many people subconsciously forget about it?

First of all, there is the question of actors, the person who starred in this version of Dr. Banner is Hollywood actor Edward Norton. Norton's acting skills are certainly good, there's no doubt about that.

But in addition, "The Incredible Hulk" is easy to ignore among the many characters in the Marvel Universe, whether in terms of the weaving of the plot or the shaping of the characters Dr. Banner and the Hulk. Although Mark Ruffalo later played Dr. Banner, Marvel also added more secondary temperament when portraying Dr. Banner and Hulk, making the role of Hulk more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, due to the fact that Hulk's independent film is still under Universal rights, Universal Pictures refuses to create a new Hulk independent film, and the Marvel Universe process has its own independent development plan, making Hulk's independent film far away.

There is a very interesting point here, that is, in the original time and space, the Marvel Universe released "Iron Man" in April, and "The Incredible Hulk" in June, which also shows that the pre-production of these two movies is almost at the same time, and their shooting dates are operated one after the other. So because of this, Marvel Studios can't make two superhero movies that were produced almost at the same time use the same production model, in other words, "Iron Man" is Marvel Studios' adventure test of the waters, and "The Incredible Hulk" plays a safe card.

"The Incredible Hulk" uses the well-known Edward Norton, and in terms of plot and special effects, there is almost no difference between it and normal big-budget Hollywood action movies and special effects movies, so it is really difficult for people to see how this movie has anything to do with the temperament of Marvel Universe movies.

The story of the original version of "The Incredible Hulk" does not want to be disconnected from Ang Lee's "Hulk", but it also does not want to be a sequel to "Hulk". So "The Incredible Hulk" cleverly used the first few minutes of quick editing to make a connection with "Hulk", telling the audience that Dr. Banner experimented with himself, causing him to become the Hulk. Then, the whole movie "The Incredible Hulk" is about how Dr. Banner dislikes the Hulk and wants to turn himself back to a normal person and win back the beauty.

This point is linked to the Hulk of the Avengers, and there is nothing wrong with the psychological element in it, normal people are probably not willing to become an uncontrolled monster. It's good to have power, but if power is not under your control, you may even turn yourself into a madman, which is unacceptable to most people.

Because Dr. Banner transforms into the Hulk when he gets excited, he flees to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to hone his skills of not being angry. It's a bit unreasonable here, Dr. Banner could have gone to a psychiatrist to regulate his emotions and stay away from the noisy area, but he would rather go to the chaotic slums. With the chaos of the ghetto, Dr. Banner is in the middle of it, and it's really hard to imagine him not going berserk.

Needless to say, the plot in the middle probably means that he accidentally exposed himself and was then discovered by General Ross. General Ross wants to bring Banner back, of course, not to find Banner so that he can go back and marry the little girl, but to use the Hulk transformed into by Banner for military purposes. So General Ross asked people to take a group of younger brothers and run to Rio de Janeiro to arrest people, at this time, of course, it was a scene of fighting for the sake of cool fighting, Dr. Banner naturally transformed into the Hulk, Blanquis fell in love with the Hulk's body the moment he saw the Hulk, and he also wanted to have such a body shape and mutation.

Seeing that Blanquis was so obsessed, General Ross decided to inject Blanquis with Super Soldier Serum, the same project that Captain America transformed from a weak chicken to a muscular man.

After Banner recovered, he instantly became a beggar, and it was amazing that he was able to beg all the way from Brazil and get to the United States smoothly, which made some people who squeezed their minds to sign for the United States embarrassed. After returning to the United States, Banner's first thing is not to figure out why someone is chasing him, nor to continue to work hard to learn how to control his emotions, but to find his girlfriend, but at this time his girlfriend has a new love, and Banner is ready to start to break his heart. But before the heart was broken, his girlfriend shook his face and reunited with Banner, leaving his current boyfriend far away, and at this time, what Hulk saved the world was not on the main line.

Banner and his girlfriend's love line is mainly anti-guest, this is the most failed part of the film, the main plot setting is old-fashioned, Banner's love line is not touching and emotional, and the Hulk's character design has no sense of existence. When General Ross discovers that his daughter has been tricked away by Banner again, he takes out the Sonic Cannon, a weapon from Stark Industries, in an attempt to subdue the Hulk. But the result is obvious, the Hulk's dimensionality reduction strike, tearing these weapons to shreds.

At this time, Bronkith deliberately ran to provoke the Hulk and was beaten to pieces, but then the Jedi was reborn and seemed to become stronger. At this time, Banner and his girlfriend went to find the mysterious Mr. Lan, and Banner finally remembered that his main task was to change back to a normal person, and Mr. Blue gave Dr. Banner an experiment, and it seemed that Banner had changed back to a normal person.

It's just that when Banner has almost calmed down, General Ross is very good at picking the time to come over and arrest people, this motive is very strange, at this time, the people that General Ross should arrest shouldn't be Banner and Mr. Blue, after all, Mr. Blue is in the process of transforming the Hulk, he is the most transparent in the experiment, but General Ross is biased, only captures Banner who has changed back to a normal person. Then Blanquis forced Mr. Blue to transform him, and after Blanches transformed, he became the villain of Marvel, a super Hulk who looked more powerful than the Hulk, and there was no way to change back into human form.

As a result, a Armagededdon that began for Armageddon began, and Banner could still transform into the Hulk and save the world by fighting to the death against Abomination within a single street. And Dr. Banner seems to be in control of when he transforms into the Hulk at the end.

"The Incredible Hulk" should be the only movie in the Marvel Universe that does not have an ending Easter egg, so this is more certain that the production process and structure of "The Incredible Hulk" are the most traditional action movie production mode, and the Marvel Universe has played a safe card, and it is not a success, nor a failure. But after all, the film is going to connect to the Marvel Universe, so at the end of the film, Tony appears in the bar and wants to find General Ross to form the Avengers.

This shot is finally a little interesting, but it's just a little interesting.

Compared with other Marvel Universe movies, the performance of "The Incredible Hulk" is completely offline, and it is no wonder that the audience has basically forgotten about this work.

In fact, you can't blame Marvel, after all, when making "The Incredible Hulk", everyone didn't know whether "Iron Man" was a success, so according to the traditional action movie production template, the starring role of this "The Incredible Hulk" should be a well-known actor. and Robert Jr. in "Iron Man" became the opposite, a person who follows Marvel's routine and uses actors who are not famous, or not very famous. The other follows the traditional Hollywood routine, and then uses famous actors to interpret it.

Which one succeeds, the follow-up Marvel movies will go down according to the corresponding process. It's just that Iron Man won, so Hulk suffered Waterloo.

In addition, in Marvel Comics, Hulk Hulk has a personality, that is to say, in Dr. Banner's body, there are two split personalities, Banner and Hulk, if you have watched "Thor 3" and "Avengers 3", you can know that Hulk at that time has already taken shape with a personality, and the second middle school has a rebellious character of a teenager, which makes the audience love it. In "The Incredible Hulk", the main creator found Edward Norton, in fact, because Edward Norton had starred in "First Degree Fear" and "Fight Club", Edward Norton was the most suitable person to play the role of a split personality.

But although the main creator thought of this layer, "The Incredible Hulk" did not express this layer of meaning, and even went against the grain, and some deliberately hid Hulk's character, making the audience mistakenly think that Hulk is just a Banner who has lost his mind, not another conscious personality. Because of this, although "The Incredible Hulk" has Edward Norton, it is not outstanding, and after the release of the film, it was rumored that Edward Norton and Marvel had serious differences in creation, and finally made a very unhappy quarrel.

Originally, the posters of "The Avengers" had already put the image of Edward Norton, but they had to change the actor who played Dr. Banner, which is the cute Mark Ruffalo that everyone is familiar with today.

Therefore, the 08 version of "The Incredible Hulk" is the superhero movie that is most unlike the characteristics of the Marvel universe. As for the 03 version, it is even more needless to say, the time is too early, and the Hulk at that time was the handiwork of Universal Pictures, and Marvel certainly could not accept a Hulk who had nothing to do with itself to become a member of the Avengers.

And these all happened in the previous life, and now in this life, Zhou Fangyuan has come to dominate the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he knows very well how much potential the Marvel Universe has.

So from the very beginning, he had a plan.

"Iron Man 1", as the beginning, must be made according to the original appearance, including "Iron Man 2" and "Thor 1", and it has generally not departed from the original appearance. Of course, "Thor" has made some changes, deleted some trivial things, mainly highlighting two points, one is the change of Thor, from a high and invincible god, to a powerful creature of flesh and blood, although it is still very different from humans, but this is also a kind of progress. The second is to lead to the conflict between him and Loki, as well as to pave the way for the follow-up "Avengers 1".

Of course, the specific screenwriting work still has to be handed over to a special person, and he just put forward some suggestions of his own.

And what about "Hulk"? It didn't take the name of "The Incredible Hulk", it was directly called "Hulk", and before filming started, he had already bought back the copyright of Hulk through Disney. In fact, Hulk's copyright, in 06, that is, this year, should expire, but according to the normal number of roads, after the copyright returns, Universal can also retain the right of first refusal for the release of Hulk's characters. But Zhou Fangyuan didn't want to give Universal this chance anymore, so he directly spent money to buy back the Hulk copyright that had little left in the copyright period.

In fact, Marvel's copyright is really confusing, unlike DC, the copyright is all in the hands of Warner, whether it is a movie or any copyright, the advantage is that Warner can shoot as much as he wants, and there is no need to consider the problem that the copyright is not in his hands.

But Marvel can't.

When Marvel was poor, it was really poor, and the poor were about to become pants, and the copyright was really sold a lot.

For example, Lionsgate Entertainment owns the copyrights of many Marvel superheroes. Humanoid, this copyright expires and returns. Black Panther, purchased from Sony Pictures by Lionsgate's subsidiary Artisan Entertainment, returned to Marvel when the copyright expired in 2005. Black Widow, which was bought back last year. Punisher, this is far away, and it will not be returned until the copyright expires in 2013, of course, it is okay to buy it back directly, it depends on whether there is that value. In addition, the copyright of Iron Fist has also expired and returned.

New Line Pictures, a subsidiary of Time Warner, originally owned the rights to Iron Man, which was bought back when the first part was filmed last year. Blade Warrior will not return until the copyright expires in 2012.

In terms of Universal Pictures, Hulk will not be mentioned, and Namor will not be able to recover the copyright until almost 2014, and according to the contract, it will not be until 2018 to completely solve the third-party problems involved in the previous contract, which is really troublesome.

Fox Films, with the copyrights of Daredevil , Erica , Igo , X-Men, Wolverine, Deadpool, Pai King , Fantastic Four, Planet Eater and other copyrights, is far from the expiration of the copyright, and in a short period of time, if you can't buy back the copyright, or directly buy Fox, it is basically impossible for these characters to appear in the cinematic universe.

In addition, Sony Pictures also has some copyrights, namely Thor, Ghost Rider, Luke Cage, Spider-Man, etc., but Thor's copyright has been bought back, Spider-Man's words, Sony is really biting too tight, and it doesn't let go, so Marvel and Disney have no choice.

In short, just because Marvel couldn't open the pot when it was poor, the superheroes spread to the whole of Hollywood, and now it is really difficult to take it back. But it's not a big problem, according to the direction of the original space-time movie universe, except for Spider-Man, other superheroes are basically in place, and the continuous shooting plan is the best proof of this.

Let's talk about "Hulk", I have to say that Mark Ruffalo's version of Hulk is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so when he was first preparing to start filming "Hulk", Zhou Fangyuan directly handpicked Mark Ruffalo, and directly suppressed Marvel's worries about the box office.
