Norton's a notoriously difficult person to work with, so it's unsurprising things turned out the way they did.

LOL.
On one hand, you have Norton, a well-regarded actor with 3 Academy Award nominations under his belt. On the other hand you have the director of Clash of the Titans, Now You See Me, and The Brothers Grimsby.
I know who I'd listen to, and if Marvel had -- or picked a better director in the first place -- they might have ended up with a better film.
Here's one explanation of what went down, which makes it sound like it was about creative differences and wasn't overly hostile or about Norton being a jerk.

It is the scene that they have to put in there so that they can show off the cast on posters. Just like in the Avengers movies they had all of the avengers circle up and pose for the camera.
Still waiting for Godot.

Elecktra was terribad. Even the daredevil movie had aspects I liked, like I loved Micheal Clark Duncan as the king pin. I couldn't even finish elektra and I tried twice

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

I never said it was "officially" part of the continuity; just that there wasn't anything to prevent it (other than a fact I'd forgotten, clearly, so let's leave it at that ). It's still better than the one with Edward Norton in, though.
I'm not convinced about a resemblance between Adrian Pasdar and that comic panel, though.
Iron Man 3 introduced Tony Stark's PTSD from Avengers, which carried through into Avengers 2 (and CA3, by the looks of things, too). And kicked off Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Oh God, Ang Lee's Hulk movie (the first one with Bana) was the second worst (at the time) marvel movie, being better than only Elektra. Even Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and the first FF movie (which I actually LIKED) were better. The Edward Norton version was a thousand times better. And I think the movie version of Abomination was far superior to every cartoon version ever, where he's always a dumb henchman and nothing more. This at least made him a credible threat. Did we even watch the same versions of these movies?!
I would have to disagree. Ang Lee tried to raise the bar on a comic book movie, with innovative visuals and an actual issue focused storyline. This is not something MCU has tried since.

Said no one else. Ever.
I'll say it. Hulk had its problems, and Lee tried too hard to elevate the material. He's since admitted that he should have cut back on all the psychological stuff. But at least he tried.
On the other hand, The Incredible Hulk was typical of Marvel's worse efforts -- polished, professional, by-the-numbers, bland and soulless.
Exactly.

Winter Soldier said "Hi!", and while it was here it also pointed out that Ang Lee's Hulk was a terrible film.

Issues (arms trade, responsability, the role and nature of governments, privacy. ethics,) have arisen in all the recent MCU movies, if you have missed them........well......guess need to watch them again.

Saw it, thoroughly enjoyed it, but I'm probably the target audience (recognise the characters enough to get excited, don't know them well enough to nitpick)
I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

I saw it. Probably my 2nd fave film in the MCU after Cap2. Banter was good, considerably better than Avengers. I would watch a buddy cop show set in the MCU that just revolves around Falcon and Winter soldier. Ending made me really want a cap4

The banter was better because it wasn't constant. AoU suffered mostly because it's heroes (and villain) never shut up with the quips. It reduced the tension to basically nothing, and even reduced the stakes as everyone seemed to be joking about everything.
