Yes, Ross is Betty's father. The Ed Norton Hulk is considered the first MCU movie. He was Secretary of State Thunderbolt in Civil War but still played by William Hurt. Tony approached him at a bar in the credit scene of The Incredible Hulk.
Does the super soldier serum even matter? All it seems to do is just get you jacked up to peak human levels in an instant. It was revolutionary back in WW2 since you can turn a bunch of skinny chudjak looking guys (thanks to that Great Depression era diet) into a horde of muscled-up gigachads.
It should matter and was depicted as mattering. Sam Wilson is presumably in great physical shape and yet in Winter Soldier we see Cap repeatedly lapping him around the park "on your left" and we see him pull off slightly beyond human stuff like unfeasibly high ocean dives or holding back a helicopter. Not Hulk or Thor level stuff, but really pushing the envelope for what a human could do. He seems to be around the 170% human level. With like Thor being the 2000% human and say Black Widow or Hawkeye being the max peak human sort of level, i.e. 100%. (1)
I'm six months late but this pisses me off. The X-Men have always been symbols for inclusion and diversity, and that's exactly why making them literally gay/black/jewish is fucking retarded. Mutants are already stand-ins for all of those things, and any other marginalizing trait a reader might project onto them. The entire premise is an allegory for the experience of being discriminated against, without any of the real-world baggage and prejudice associated with blackness or gayness specifically. It's effective, and inclusive, specifically because the demographic experiencing discrimination isn't fucking real, and that allows you to both 1) sympathize with them without bias, and 2) project your own experiences onto them, regardless of whether that's about race or sex or orientation or religion or disability or ideology or nationality or culture or whatever. It was already a story about being black or gay or retarded; making the conflict about being literally black or gay or retarded defeats the purpose, undermines the allegory, brings in real-world biases, excludes every other marginalized group besides the specific one you picked, it's clumsy, it's retarded, you're retarded, go fuck yourself.
That's a really stupid decision, then. In the trailer, we see him ram a fucking jet and fly at supersonic speeds without somehow dying or getting severely mangled, which doesn't make any sense if he's supposed to be a normal human.
it absolutely matters. all movies needs to be grounding in the rules established by the fictional universe. otherwise the your brain will not except the illusion of the movie. the mcu established the super soldier serum for enhanced abilities. and humans in the mcu are not physically different than humans in the real world.
William Hurt was Ross in all of his MCU appearances. Incredible Hulk, Civil War, Infinity War, Endgame, Black Widow. Even voiced him in the Incredible Hulk game.
Yes. Sam Elliot played him in the Ang Lee version and William Hurt played him from The Incredible Hulk up until his passing in 2022. Ford's a great actor, but he's been in increasingly shittier movies as he nears the end of his career and is older (82) than both Sam Elliot (79) and William Hurt (77). Despite of his recent output though, I guarantee Ford has been laughing his way to the bank with the money he's making at Disney's expense.
This is why I hate that I used to be a Marvel fan.
Even as a child, I would not have cried over a superhero's suit. These people need to find some real meaning in life.
