To escape this overwhelming wrongness I'd gladdy dig myself a hole so deep that I could hand myself over to Satan to escape it.
Seriously, that was such a god awfully cheesy line.

*shakes fist* Want to slate 'he's adopted' or Agent Coulson while you're at it? :cry:
That line was smurfing funny, and Coulson was arguably the best moment in that movie.
That's a joke, right?
What line are you reffering to? The Fact I think that the adopted line is funny, or that the coulson moment was a great moment in that movie?
I say great moment in that it was very well done. Not that I was happy Coulson got shanked. :p
Coulson was the man. I hear he's getting hsi own movie now or something. He deserves it.
Agent Coulson is the principal in the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon. Don't really like the cartoon but I thought that was amusing. :D
So I've never seen an incarnation of Banner who was quite snarky, but I've never seen one who wasn't bitter or depressed in some way.Quote:

They just want to see him turn green.
I'm actually more a fan of banner himself then the Hulk. :p
I'm actually teetering more in that direction myself. I didn't care for him much in the old tv series but then I didn't really watch. I've never read the comics either. The recent movies have been the first time I actually started to pay attention to the character of Banner. I've never really been a fan of the Hulk in general. I like the alter-egos though: Grey Hulk, Maestro, War (Hulk), etc.
And now, a bit more detail on why banner from "The Incredible Hulk" is the best one.
This is the only one that I think got it right with Banner, in that it's the only one I didn't want him to turn into Hulk. The whole point of the character is he doesn't want to turn into this raging monster, it's something he either wants to get rid of, or control (Something you see him doing at the end of Incredible Hulk, a great moment completely dropped for Avengers). When he is in those moments of high stress, I want him to be able to keep a level head and stay as banner.
In Avengers? I didn't give two smurfs if he stayed as Banner. I just wanted Hulk to smash. Don't get me wrong, it was great when Hulk smashed in The Inredible Hulk, and you knew he was going to change, but there was still that part of me that could sympathize with him and wished him to succeed in his en-devours. A Banner you want to turn into Hulk is a failure as Banner.
In the end, even if it was Ed Norton being cast to play himself (And I disagree that he didn't come off as a smart guy. He did, I just don't think he was at all stereotypical about it. ;P) he still has the advantage of being far more sympathetic then Ruffalo.
I find Ruffalo a lot more sympathetic than Norton to be honest, Norton is a good actor but always has a bit of a 'smarm' factor about him. He's the sort of person who works best as a smartarse character. Though I say that and he actually worked well in Moonrise Kingdom doing the complete opposite role. Regardless I think Ruffalo had the best balance of being a little dorky with the intimidating factor just beneath the surface.
