I would rather see the fire extinguishing robot from Iron Man spun-off than sit through another Hulk movie.

Next two paragraphs for The Wire fans only, especially those who have seen the new Hulk:

Marvel’s marketing department already spoiled one of the movie’s big cameos, so let me ruin the other. During the third and final fight scene, look for a blink-and-you-miss-it shot of The Wire’s Omar. The role was miniscule but conspicuous, which made it feel like a wink to the audience. For a brief moment, it was as if Omar was Stan-Lee-level recongizable. Omar’s boasting in this interview leads me to believe he had a bigger part that got cut.

The Hulk only works when he’s pure rage, but in the new movie he seemed remarkably tame and helpful. I don’t even understand why Bruce Banner was on the run, he posed almost no threat to those he loved. Perhaps he heard Omar was coming.
