This should have been kept. Not only this is a great acting piece, it also provides motivation for William Hurt's character, given how Ross hypocritically views himself as the only person who "stops trembling" before the Hulk and dares to hunt him down.
2:12 "We've glimpsed the back part of God", this really fits for The Immortal Hulk comic series and would've been a great way to foreshadow implementing it into future movies.
This is also what Edward Norton was talking about in one of his interviews about the incredible hulk but I guess marvel executive decided to skip on that idea.
Marvel Studios was afraid of releasing a movie that was too "talky" and intellectual, once again underestimating the intelligence of general moviegoers and failing to grasp the real reasons so many comic book readers have remained invested in the Hulk's story for decades well into adulthood. It's not the smashing and cutesy little quips that keep us buying the Hulk's books. It's the depth, the psychology, and the mythic tragedy of the Banner/Hulk relationship.
I believe so too. Edward norton stated on joe Rogan’s podcast that he wanted his hulk to be about cracking open the backside of god and taking something out that wasn’t meant to be taken
@@ciro9951 me too man. I would be okay with ruffalo if he stayed as bruce banner but if they had just kept the hulk design from this film it would've been way less confusing for everyone
So then will the be a Norton's Cut like there is a Snyder's Cut for Justice League? I joke but based on this scene I would straight up love that! This is like deeper level powerful stuff. The problem I think Norton ran into with the studio heads is the 2003 Hulk screwed it up for him because it tried to go deeper (poorly), so they cut out some of the depth.
I seriously wished that we got a sequel where Ross turns himself into the Red Hulk and actually goes after the Hulk himself which would have been a cool payoff for his arc. RIP William Hurt
It would be a tragic arc. He spent his entire life trying to protect the US, hunts down Bruce as its the one task that makes him a laughingstock from repeated failure, he destroys his relationship with his daughter cause his obsession goes too far, then he becomes Red Hulk and loses his livelihood and has to live as a monster for the rest of his life forever in hiding. Definitely a huge tale of how obsession can destroy someone
William Hurt's will always be the best general Thaddeus Ross in MCU 🙏 even that's not going to be the same😢 still rest in peace. Harrison Ford will do great job play general Thaddeus Ross in MCU 👍👏
My god what a speech tied in my opinion with that of the colonel and caesar in war for the planet of apes....even if is a deleted scene for me is canon and seem to take place just before blonsky recover......
This scene does nothing but remind me of Immortal Hulk, the single best Hulk comic ever made, and Marvel cut it. They cut the best parts of the movie and people hate the movie itself because of it. Why? It's Marvel's fault
watched a fanmade extended cut recently and I'm fucking astounded this wasn't in the theatrical one, it fits perfectly into the film and does so much to explain Ross' actions it's so good
I own the dvd and I just look through the depleted scenes and this scene is not among them. I have also look through the mcu wiki article on deleted scenes in marvel cinematic and found no mention this scene on the incredible hulk however I did find mention of this in the mcu wiki aeticle on general ross. So can anybody tell me what is that all about?
Thank you all, for this confrontation (I am considering this as the 1st indirect confrontation). If Subhangam Dev has anything worthwhile in his gene & blood, he will never hesitate to share it to eliminate Corona virus. There is only 1 condition: No backstabbing, sarcasm & sattire with me. Till date, I have found nothing worthwhile in myself. According to my perception:- You all might be greatly mistaken in putting me under surveillance (Enhanced Cost concerns unnecessarily). 🔶️
I wish I had people like this on my side. PS I'm not the HULK, right now 😭. But I wish you would or could believe what you have seen. And not look at where my other home lies😢

This really described just how big Hulk actually was metaphorically speaking
Man I love William hurts acting in this scene

And why again was this scene deleted??
Jared Griffin probably because of the conflict between Edwards script and the intent of the original scrip

Bob W that is very much true, very wise words my friend
As close as Ross came to become the Red Hulk. His intentions were very clear.
Awesome dialogue. I bet Norton wrote this.
I believe so too. Edward norton stated on joe Rogan’s podcast that he wanted his hulk to be about cracking open the backside of god and taking something out that wasn’t meant to be taken
@@johnnytulley9730 and now you have Ruffalo with his weak ass Hulk. I would've loved a trilogy with Norton

@@ciro9951 Marvel messed up Ruffalo's Hulk.
It's funny, the entire time Ross is speaking all I can think of are people like Vandal Savage the day he laid down next to that meteor.
Edward Norton is the best hulk and the best bruce banner ever in history the mcu doesn't know what he lost
Jesus fucking Christ, he should’ve been in more of these movies
Rip William Hurt. Great actor
I don't think Harrison Ford will play a better Ross
@@davisjones7137 I know
This scene remains incredible, fourteen years later. It would have elevated the movie, and Ross as a villain had it remained.
Instead of Spider-Man or Guardians, they should have focused on Hulk.
@@QwuithLordDartoxThey couldn't with Universal in the way. Besides, Spider-Man and Guardians have two of the best trilogies of the series.
I wonder how he felt when Thor arrived and Asgard was proven to exist
There's no way Harrison Ford will be as epic as William Hurt playing Thunderbolt Ross.
This movie was made for real men,
Not Disney LGBTQ fan girls
SJW to be more specific
Someone’s insecure.
Correct. This movie couldn't have existed at a better time, but Norton should've directed

Remember when the Hulk was actually considered a force to be reckoned with or scary? The last time that happened was Avengers 2012
Kinda sounds like Thanos
Yeah, lol
Omg he does lol
Imagine how Ross feels now, since he knows for a fact that aliens like Thanos, the Chitauri, Asgardians, exist.
@@SpFlash1523 he prolly tried to get his hands on some of that alien tech that was left behind in 2012

RIP William Hurt, you were brilliant. Ross was a character you just loved to hate.
William Hurt killed it as Ross wish we got more of him, RIP

@@carlosortiz8265 I am definitely a hulk fan. That was why I wrote the comment. Would have asked about this deleted scene if I wasn't a hulk fan?

William Hurt he almost became the red hulk
