I thought that was a nice touch, myself. <BR/><BR/>Hulk's extra mass comes from the Microverse, doesn't it? Same as Hank Pym. I've often suspected it came from Jarella's realm specifically. <BR/><BR/>I assume that the government didn't figure out the Vita-Ray bit until years later. Remember they tried the serum alone with no Vita-Rays in the 50s on that particular nutjob and that turned out... poorly. Of course, that makes Blonsky more sympathetic than I'd like...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-15506464347424076712008-06-16T19:39:00.000-07:002008-06-16T19:39:00.000-07:00You aren't the only one!

You'd figure the die hards would be the most enthused. But I walked into a showing of it while waiting for my showing of THE HAPPENING (oh boy) and the crowd at a 3:40pm Saturday showing seemed more geek-enthused. There were applause when he did that sonic clap. APPLAUSE. For that.

I guess the scriptwriters didn't bother being that comic geek, because in the movie, Ross didn't seem the type to knowingly screw over one of his one men that badly.
