The trailer for the new Incredible Hulk movie is up over at mtv.com and it looks like Edward Norton was an excellent choice. I liked the Ang Lee movie, but I completely understand that people hated it. The Hulk is, after all a giant psychopath, giving him a “soul” was a pretty big mistake stylistically. If Thor was the only one of the Avengers who could ever keep him in check that might tell you something. If rumors about them approaching the subject from the perspective of the TV show are true I’m all for it. I haven’t read Hulk in years, but as he was originally designed he’s terribly one dimensional. I imagine the conversation leading up to his creation was pretty awesome though. Click through for my take on it.

Stan Lee: You know what we need Ditko? A hero who is literally a raging ball of emotions with gigantic, shapely thighs?
Jack Kirby: Hmmm, you might be on to something Stan, but maybe we should downplay the thighs and focus on the character, that’s your ballgame anyway right?
Stan Lee: Well I suppose we can highlight his inner conflict, but I really think that his massive thighs highlight his inner conflict in such a stately manner. I mean, how can you really accept the whole improbability of it without the shapely, well-formed thighs to tie the character to reality?
Jack Kirby: Ok, boss *sigh*

Yeah, that seems about right, at least if you go back and look at the early stuff. I think that if they can pull of the ‘humanity’ of Bruce Banner while showing the sheer power of the hulk it should be an okay movie, but I don’t envy them their task.

Lastly, if you stick around on the Mtv site after the hulk trailer it will kick into the trailer for Lost Boys The Tribe. As far as vaguely homosexual vampire movies go, Cory Feldman is far superior to Tom Cruise. Honestly I’m not sure if I’m more excited for the new Lost Boys or the new Hulk.
