Deadline is reporting that Mark Ruffalo is in “late-stage talks” to star in my dreams The Avengers as the Marvel’s new Hulk. Although I was sad to see Edward Norton go (more on that here), I’m thankful they haven’t replaced him with some swoop-haired Disney commodity devoid of any personality or cultural literacy. And I’ll be glad if this Ruffalo rumor is true, because that Joaquin Phoenix rumor just seemed crazier than a rapping hobo in a cape. (Or maybe exactly as crazy as a rapping hobo in a cape . . .)
Seriously, Mark Ruffalo rules, so I’m just fine with this. Don’t tell me you can’t see Ruffalo nailing a panel like this one:
Okay, I just wanted an excuse to post that panel completely out of context.

Sidenote: I’m going to yell “Shazulk!” at the next person who cuts me off in traffic and see how they react.
Robo, sometimes I can’t tell if you’re gay, straight, female, lesbian, or none of the above.
I mean that as a compliment. Rawr.
It’s only a compliment if you compare someone to Teddy Ruxbin.
