Remember in The Avengers after the Hulk fell to the Earth, came to as Bruce Banner in a warehouse, then suddenly showed up on a moped? Entertainment Weekly's Inside Movies has a new deleted scene that gives us a little more information on how he made it back to the city for the movie's climactic battle scene... or does it? Is he the Hulk? Or is he a man? Or a Muppet? Or a very manly Muppet? Whatever he is, he's hashing out a lot of things in his head, and now, we get to see a little bit more of that. One thing that isn't confusing: If you had forgotten how much you loved Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, it's all definitely going to come back to you. (via EW's Anthony Breznican on Twitter)

    Glad I’m not the only one who was a bit bemused by the transition from ‘I have no control!’ to ‘I have all the control!’

    Everything goes better with more Harry Dean Stanton.

    There’s still an unexplained character gap. Perhaps his total murderous intent in the prior scene could be explained as a more oblique version of Loki’s mind-control spear magic, on top of the rageaholism.

    I haven’t read the comics – just going on the movie version.

    Whatever the back story, I’m just glad he was there to give Loki a bit of a shake. I expected Loki to pop up a Wile E. Coyote style “ouch!” sign at the end of it. Best moment in the movie, in my opinion. “Puny god.”

      Because they expect you to have seen The Incredible Hulk as part of his backstory, where Bruce Banner is struggling with how to control the green guy. The very end of that movie has Bruce Banner working on his meditation to keep himself calm.  It ends with his opening his eyes to the Hulk state while being completely calm.

    Much as I love Harry Dean Stanton, I’m not surprised they cut this scene out.

      Oddly enough, I am. It seems like a very powerful scene, well acted, well captured, and adding both narrative explanation and character depth. If it was cut simply to save time or for some other banal reason like that, I honestly am surprised.
