One with clenched jaw, teeth showing; one with clenched jaw, teeth not showing.

All 2 emotions, then?

Yeah, in contrast to the other eerie likenesses that's more like Angry Zombie Cap. I wish they'd gone more for stalwart determination rather than "rrrrraaaaaaaggggghhhhh!"

My take on the ship Hulk-out: Banner seems to have the Hulk under control except when his life is in imminent danger, as in the thwarted suicide attempt. So when he's under attack and doesn't know what's going on, his survival instinct kicks in and he can no longer distinguish friend from foe.

Could somebody who knows the canon tell me: does Bruce remember what happens when he's Hulk? I vaguely remember (from the tv series) that he doesn't, but I haven't seen either of the Hulk movies.

askye, that was super cogent.

I agree. That makes a lot of sense, and I never put together the part about the Hulk deliberately landing in a non-populated zone with Bruce's revelation.

There's just one problem with that: the Hulk can't actually fly, or change trajectory mid-leap. He landed wherever the exploding plane randomly threw him.

Well, skydivers have some ability to steer themselves while in free-fall.

eta: Now I want to see Mythbusters demonstrating this with a giant radio-controlled naked Hulk dummy....

Poor Buster.

The thing that surprised me most in that article was that Dictator cost $25M more to make than What To Expect When You're Expecting. They aren't huge names in the ensemble, but just by virtue of being an ensemble I'd have thought it more expensive. Is Dictator heavy in FX, or what? SBC gets a massive paycheque?

I like that take on it a lot, actually. That makes sense to me.

In the Ed Norton pre-Avengers movie, he sort-of remembered, like you'd remember a dream. There was a scene of Banner having a PSTD-type meltdown recalling machine-gun fire coming at him. As I recall Banner in the tv series didn't remember at all. Avengers-movie Banner seems to remember pretty well. Except for when he fell out of the sky really hard. He did say "sorry" to Natasha like he knew exactly what had happened, and really what's the point of becoming a superhero if you never remember all the amazing things you did?

shhh, that's Actual Physics. The only science allowed here is Awesome Comic-Book Science. (Like when Tony was in deep space and he let go of the missile, instead of continuing that trajectory and velocity, he fell back to Earth.) The aircraft carrier had been heading out for open water, so the plane with Hulk on it could easily have been over a largely unpopulated area anyway. Thor's Hamster Ball of the Gods fell in a marsh with no people around, too.

Thor's Hamster Ball of the Gods

Heh.
