Weird list, and not only for listing Ultron twice, but different strokes
I think the further we get from Guardians vol. 2 the more forgettable it’ll become, too.
All the movies, for reference:
Iron Man (2008)
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Thor (2011)

Incredible Hulk is a really weird movie. Norton doesn't bring the charm that RDJ brought to Iron Man, and the humor that you find in virtually every Marvel movie since is pretty noticeably absent. It's a weird, self-serious slog of a film with a Hulk that's really more of a monster than the Avengers/Ruffalo version. It really sticks out from other MCU films and representative of how Marvel was still feeling things out at the time.
Yeah. It only came out a few months after Iron Man, so they weren't able to build off the success of Iron Man. The probably felt like they needed to rush a Hulk film out because the Hulk was the most well-known character available to them at the time and they needed to get rid of the stench of that awful Ang Lee film from a few years early. The Incredible Hulk is near the bottom of my list, but it's not a terrible film.
Agree, it's not a bad film by any stretch.
but you called it a "weird slog" in your last post
Suicide Squad was a lot of things, but "slog" wasn't one of them.A "weird slog" for Marvel is a cinematic triumph for DC.
