I love Norton but, yeah, he was all wrong for Banner. Ruffalo was perfect. And the difference between the two is vulnerability. Unlike Ruffalo's Banner, Norton's Banner never seemed like a man who has been dragged through the mud. Instead, he came across as street smart, punk on the run who was always ready to run. A fugitive on a 5 hour Energy drip. And Ruffalo seemed less fugitive and more runaway. Like he's not just running away from the authorities but he's running away from The Other guy but at the same time, he is so tired. So completely tired and always on the verge of giving up. And without that vulnerability, the constant fear that the other shoe will drop, Banner isn't Banner.

+ infinity, it really comes down to the vibe, which is really important in a character as emotionally-driven as Bruce Banner.

This, this, this. Ugh, I have so many feelings just reading this paragraph. Ruffalo's banner was so perfect in those ways.

Yes, this is how I feel as well.

There also seemed to be a weird disconnect with Norton. I don't know what is was but it bothered me the whole film.

This. I had trouble connecting with Norton's Banner. Ruffalo was much easier to sympathize with.

THIS. All of it.

I was so surprised when Mark Ruffalo's Banner ended up being my favourite character in the Avengers.

I watched The Incredible Hulk later on... and while I liked Liv Tyler, I felt nothing for Edward Norton. All I could think was: "This needs more Mark Ruffalo."

omg this this this this this

I love him visually: he is dead on the physical appearance of comic banner, no lie.

he... doesn't manages any of the emotional vibe, however, needed for the character initially. I mean if you were going to do post world-war-hulk banner, from the most recent issues where he's fucking nuts? Yeah, that's one things... but initial canon banner? nope nope nope

ruffalo got the whole anxiety / ptsd / being super careful shit down pat. The vulnerability and the emotional complexity of a guy who has always been afraid of his own rage and now has twice the reason to be so.

also ruffalo is just plain cuter
