this was a point in Roth's career where I wasn't as into him. Though he is great on Lie To Me.
I wanted to like that show, specifically because of Tim Roth, but I found the gimmick didn't overcome the kind of pedestrian mysteries.
I usually skipped to the college part
Daylight Hulk IS what we all came for. The college fight still comes across as a little too contained for me to really feel the menace of the Hulk, though. There, he's laser-focused on the soldiers, with no collateral damage to the campus or risk to the students. Factory Hulk, meanwhile, feels more like the ticking time bomb he should be, where just some local bullies can lead to massive destruction.
Special Bonus Review:
I watched the one-shot The Consultant which only resulted in me already questioning my movie timeline.
The one-shot leads straight into the post-credit scene of the Incredible Hulk, but I think calling Stark the consultant is a reference to the ending of Iron Man 2.
I think maybe I should've watched Iron Mans 1 & 2 and THEN the Hulk. But wait, doesn't Coulson leave IM2 to go to the start of Thor (and *that* one-shot)? So is it IM 1&2, then Thor then Hulk?
I'm definitely over-thinking it, but then I can't think of anything else this one-shot adds to the MCU. This is actually the first time I'd seen it and was expecting something more like the Agent Carter one-shot which is an actual story.
It did kind of make me want pancakes, though.
@fletch Yay we're back!
The timeline is definitely not perfect, and things like those one-shots just shine a brighter light on how much they didn't have it planned it. Which is fine, doesn't diminish my enjoyment at all. They tried.
but I think it's supposed to be Iron Man 2, Hulk, and Thor all take place during the same week, so there's a lot of crossover in the timeline. If you wanted to really watch it in order, you'd have to watch (something like) the beginning of Hulk, half of IM2, then the first act of Thor, part of Hulk, some more IM2, and so on. I don't know exactly, but that kinda idea.
And yeah, the Agent Carter one shot is the high water mark for those. Mostly they're simple scenes probably shot in a day in one location.
Oh, the one with Justin Hammer wasn't bad actually.
