[Movies] The Avengers 2

So, I was thinking...

We don't see Banner try to lift the hammer in that scene, and in Avengers 1 we saw the Hulk try to lift it, and fail, although he was interrupted by Thor after just a few seconds.

However, the Hulk's strength increases with his anger. Suppose the Hulk was given all the time in the universe to get increasingly mad at the hammer. Would he, eventually, get mad enough to overcome Mjolnir's enchantment and pick it up through sheer force?

No. The hammer is magic (well, kinda, might as well be magic), and the magic simply says only the worthy can wield it. It's not infinitely heavy, or have some resisting force that can be overcome through sheer power. I'm pretty sure that Hulk would tear through the floor of whatever he's standing on before he ever got it to budge.

What if, hypothetically, he was standing on an indestructible floor? Say a planet made of adamantium or something.

Still missing the point. It's not that the hammer is heavy, it's that Odin magicked it so nobody unworthy can lift it. If Hulk's not worthy, Hulk can't lift it.

Though, truth be told, that's always been kinda shaky as there is at least one instance of Hulk using the hammer to beat the shit out of Thor. Fairly sure Hulk has, in fact, lifted it a few times (and I think even broke it at one point).

Also, in space, apparently, anyone can move the hammer. I've seen pages of Red Hulk and Iron Man moving it.

Hmm, all right then.

Don't suppose the Hulk could get angry enough to start warping reality, could he?

Punching holes in reality when angry? What kind of nonsense do you think comic book writers would come up to justify broad sweeping changes to a universe?!?
 
Well, it's the in MCU Phase 3 thread, but it belongs here, too. The short preview seen on Agents of SHIELD, along with the trailer.

Even though I've been a Captain American fan forever, I really have to say they nail his characterization in the MCU SOOOOO well. He's a legitimate badass.
Cap is easily my favorite of the MCU characters. Chris Evans really does play him perfectly. There's no question as to why he's the leader of the Avengers.*



*There is a question of why Hawkeye is still there. I mean, if you call upon the Avengers for help, and Hawkeye shows up, you're going to tell him to go back and get a real Avenger.
 
I love how Cap is like "Gettin' real tired of your shit, Stark."

His line, "Every time somebody tries to stop a war before they start, innocent people die. Every time." That's not rhetoric - that was literally the goal of Project Insight, and look what became of that.
 
I noticed that the letterbox kept moving around. I so hope there's no shaky cam in Avengers 2.

Also, I'd love to hear Thor say "Ultron. We would have words with thee."
 
That steady-cam fix on the letterbox was weird, but outside of that, oh dang.

Oh dang.

Also, maybe it's SW that's going to make Hulk go all nutty, there was a shot of her doing something to Widow that might have been some kind of mental suggestion thing.

That may explain that implied romance between Widow and Hulk that they hinted near the beginning of the trailer.
