Editor Gabriel Britz shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

Serves functionally to reframe and thus correct an incongruity in The Incredible Hulk. That's all well and good, but it plays out so awkwardly that it almost wasn't worth it. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.

A short diner scene with cute banter that helps connect Incredible Hulk to the MCU. Found as an extra on the Thor disc and among the collected One-Shots on the bonus disc in the Phase 1 box set.
