The marvel motion comics will always be better IMO than the live action hollywood productions. The live action productions just seem to be milking the fans who await something to happen but never really does. Not to mention all the flaws and lack of consistency.
Live action marvel films was a fantasy of mine and I'm sure every fan back in the day. But ultimately, the comics and animated films are where it's at. There's just too much involvement and production inconsistencies to make a quality marvel live action movie. But as long as people spend money on it we have to endure this bullshit being thrown at us and all the casual comic 'fans'.

Don't agree with any of the above (except, perhaps, live action films being a fantasy of all fans).

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has made me a Marvel fan. I have purchased Toys, Comics and Games because of the Cinematic Universe. Without those 9 or 10 movies, I wouldn't care about the brand.
Why are the movies trying to catch up to the comics?
Yes, they are. What's your point though?
My point is f*ck all that mess. Read the comics.
And I just have to share this.

"Where was Tony Stark during Cap 2?" issue...
I have always liked Superheroes but never read any of the comics. I just can't get into comics, don't know why, never could. All my knowledge came from the cartoons and early DC movies. I barely cared about MU until the movies, until these particular movies. Before that only animated and movie DC for me and the 2 Ultimate Avengers movies. This verse brought me into MU and they have gotten my money since. Still no desire to read any comics...
If they pumped them out too fast I would not anticipate them so much which would lead me to not seeing them in the theaters. I think what they are doing is brilliant and paced perfectly.
They built a new model of storytelling in Hollywood/Media. That in itself is impressive.
Have they referenced back to anything from the Hulk movies? I didn't see them so I don't know.
Just the obvious stuff about Banner. Nothing right to the movie. There was the Consultant One Shot that had Ross in it. Also there was the line about Blonsky in SHIELD.
Med put into words exactly what I was thinking/feeling.
Could Marvel Studios push out movies faster? Probably/Maybe. Do I want them to? Not really. I'd rather get an entertaining movie adaption of a beloved character, rather than speed up the production level to try and get through story-arcs. What's the rush?
Also, Marvel/Disney has stated and shown they have a plan for the Marvel Movie universe. I think their handling of the properties has been top-notch, with as few hiccups as anyone could expect from Hollywood.
I'm not exactly sure why we're even comparing the comics to the movies, especially in relation to the speed of production. Of course a comic book story arc is going to take less time to get through than a movie series. But what's the point?
It's not like it's Marvel/Disney and DC/Warner Bros are in a competition to see which studio can get the most story-arcs in a given period. Or which studio can catch the movie characters up to the current comic-book story line. Because that would just be stupid.
Hulk, no. Incredible Hulk, yes. Incredible Hulk is officially part of the MCU. You should see IH, it's quite good. The one with Eric Bana was awful.
I think as far as the films go, though, the MCU is mostly avoiding IH for the most part, unfortunately. Probably due to the Norton/Ruffalo switch, but it's been referenced in follow-up MCU films. Ruffalo mentions that he "broke Harlem" last time he was in NY, and that happend in IH. Also, they show footage from Hulk raging in IH in Avengers and SHIELD if I'm not mistaken.
IH also involves Erskine's serum, and some other subtle hints to Captain America, and Tony Stark has a cameo at the end. None of the other Hulk characters have really made it into the other films, though, including Thunderbolt Ross, who I expected to hear mention of at some point in SHIELD or Avengers.
