They both weren't all THAT great in the role fallaz. Besides Ruffalo didn't have much to work with anyways. Wait for a solo film to judge.

Well it's not like people look at ruffalo and say damn he looks like more of a scientist than norton. If Norton was in a lab he could fit right in.
I like Ruffalo, a lot actually. I just feel he didn't bring much to the Banner role in Avengers or that he really fits as Banner, it was passable at best. If we're talking his other movies I'd praise dude.The hate for Ruffalo is real in here.
You said Ruffalo > Norton with no real context to it like if you meant only as Banner. It almost seemed like you escalated to say he's a better actor than Norton but apologies if you didn't mean it that way. I just said that's only true if we're talking who's worse at acting. I never said anything about awards. You brought that up.What does resumes have to do with anything. I don't care if he won best actor at the Oscars twenty yrs running, I just care about who played the better Banner. If you guys disagree with me on that then that's cool, but the resume thing is stupid.
Different tastes. I could say at the very least you'd be educated and could at least better express your views on him if you wanted to discuss this in the movie thread. Son has been a beast since Primal Fear. Keep in mind you should be trying to separate if you liked the movie from how good his performance in it was.Some resume anyway. Just looked up his filmography. Of every movie he's done since 98, I've only liked two. The Hulk and Rounders lol. And I hated his character in Rounders. He was annoying.

I don't have anything against Norton. I just don't happen to like the movies in his resume. Yea if I came off like I hated him it's because I was just big into defending Ruffalo. He's getting a lot of hate.
Such a poor argument. I can't even…..Yall letting your love for Norton blind you. First of all, Bruce Banner is a scientist. You really buy Norton as a scientist?
Really?
..... Really?!
He's better off as that fast talking, low life character he was in Rounders ANYDAY than he is as any credible scientist.
I'm sorry but this is a horrible rebuttal lol
Hey man that's why I said bring it to the movie thread cuz that's wildI don't have anything against Norton. I just don't happen to like the movies in his resume. Yea if I came off like I hated him it's because I was just big into defending Ruffalo. He's getting a lot of hate.

Is a resume you don't enjoy?
**** man.
I just meant if you actually wanted to discuss Ed Norton, we could do it there instead of here but I get it your stance is pretty clear on him so no need to pursue it any further.What would be the point of bringing it into the movie thread? I don't care to discuss any of those movies that's why I'm in here.
That's like asking me to come into a knicks thread and talking about why I don't like the knicks. Does that make sense to you?
I know. I explained that I broadened the scope cuz of your ____>___ post that didn't have any context. Wasn't clear to me you were saying Ruffalo's Hulk was > Norton's Hulk. That came off more like you were saying Ruffalo is the better actor. Furthermore, your posts really come off as anti-Norton as if he isn't a good actor but you said that's due to you liking Ruffalo's Banner portrayal and all of the Ruffalo hate. I'd still say it seems like more than that but like I just said might as well not pursue it any further if you don't want to.Remember Zik, it was you that wanted to make the scope of the argument bigger by bringing up his resume. We could've just kept it to the actors and how they portrayed Banner.
That's just a plain terrible argument. It's like you didn't see the movie or ever seen the man act in more than 2 movies. It wreaks more of bias than a legit opinion. Bringing up his role in Rounders doesn't help that it isn't bias either.If the only thing poor about my argument is that you believe that he can buy him as a scientist tthen that's down to a difference in opinion. Just because you disagree doesn't make my argument flawed or poor.
Given the criticism is he doesn't "look like a scientist" followed by a few of these "really?" I'm not surprised that's all you see. It's a really bad criticism you think holds up as an argument. I expected something a bit deeper than that.I'm still hearing 'I disagree with you so that's a terrible argument'
Like I said you say that but it doesn't come off that way with your criticisms of him.I don't have a bias against Norton. My initial comments were made after some very anti Ruffalo posts. It was a knee jerk reaction on my part.
Yeah....no. I don't understand what the hell "don't buy him as a scientist" means. Ed Norton almost doesn't know how to hide how much of an intellectual he is in his roles. I think I bought him as a scientist more than I did Ruffalo, who always looks a little baked and homeless.MrOnegative you are the closest person in this thread to understanding how I feel about the difference between Norton ' s and Ruffalo' s Banner

This is getting worseMaybe not that part. But the part of where banner isthe yyang and yang of Stark and how Norton's version would be too dominant a personality to be a yang.
There's a difference between an intellectual and being a Scientist. There are many intelligent people portrayed in movies that are not scientists.
You can give Norton all the smart lines you want and he'll just come off as someone who happens to be a genius, but not a scientist.
