Which Hulk Movie is Canon in the "Avengers" World? No Spoilers!

I didn't know there were MCU comics! Any others than the one Christopher mentioned above?

Concerning canon MCU comics:

- I am Iron Man 1-2
Movie adaptation of Iron Man.

- Iron Man 2 : Public Identity 1-3
Originally solicited as Iron Man 1.5, it is set between Iron Man 1 & 2, goes a little into the Anton/Howard partnership & how Stark met General Ross.

- Iron Man 2 : Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Collects three short stories published as digital comics. Set before Iron Man 2, it shows Nick Fury keeping an eye on Stark, how Black Widow infiltrated Stark Industries & Coulson between the movies.
-- Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. 1

Notes:
- Iron Man 2 : Public Identity & Fury's Big Week are referenced in the timeline included in Art of The Avengers.
- There have been other comics set in the MCU, but they are considered to be "inspired by the MCU" and not canon by Marvel Studios. For example, the Iron Man//Hulk/Nick Fury one-shot, the Iron Man Security Measures comic, the Inc. Hulk Walmart comic, the Thor/Captain America: Avengers one-shot & the Avengers Initiative one-shot. The last two listed will be collected in a digest size tpb marked All Ages.

Hey, I know this is an old thread, but i've found it after a VERY long search on the web for an official list of the MCU canon comics (without luck) and found Eduardo's post.
I want to ask you how can you tell which ones are canon and which are'nt? Because besides the stamp, which is not on all of them, I can't find a way do differ between the canon and non-canon. (My question reffer to the single comics and the collected TPB as well).
For example there is "Captain America - The Winter Soldier: Infinite" that came out in january and "Captain America - Homecoming" coming out in march and it says that both of them are "CA - The Winter soldier" prequels, but how do I know which is canon? One of them? Both of them? How can YOU tell?
Thanks in advance,
Roey.
 
Well, the only one of the above that has been out-right contradicted by the movies is the Thor story in "Captain America and Thor: Avengers", which included incompatable versions Malekith and Kurse.

Most of these comics are available to read on YouTube.
 
Watch out! Already multiple spoilers in this topic. :p

Yeah, what the hell people? Certainly "no spoilers" includes the very movie we're talking about.

As for the non-post post-credits scene, it serves the same role, so I don't think it's unreasonable to describe it in the same terms even if it isn't technically true. Just like the post-credits Agents of SHIELD scenes aren't post either.
 
....What am I, on Vulcan or something?

No, but ya are wrong about The Incredible Hulk havin' a post credit scene and lashin' out at the folks who are correctin' ya ain't exactly the most mature response to have about bein' called out on your mistake.

:vulcan:

So, does this mean we now have to make a distinction between the final scene scenes, the mid-credits scenes, and the post-credits scenes. Because when I saw the Avengers I caught the mid-credit scene but the cleaning people kicked me out after that and it wasn't until Christopher informed me on this board that I realized there was a POST credits scene--not just the MID credits scene.

Do people feel the POST credits are more important than the MID credits scenes or are the MID credit scenes designed to be more revealing?

I think I also missed the POST credit scenes in Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America because I only ever saw the MID credit scenes--do I need to go back and find these important missing scenes?

There were no mid-credit scenes in IM2, Thor or CA:TFA, only end of credits.

The Incredible Hulk didn't have one at all as the director opted to place the stinger at the end of the movie proper, which is the source of the very silly misunderstanding in the post you quoted.

I was being silly too. The only scene I actually missed had to do with Schwarma--but since Thor had two scenes I imagine this will be standard now.
 
As suggested upthread, can we just call them "stingers" for simplicity's sake? What matters isn't when they occur, what matters is what they are.

And seriously, the cleaning people kicked you out of the theater? I've never known that to happen. They don't have any business making someone leave before the film is actually over. You should've complained to the management.

You need to see some films in developing countries. Normally they just end the movie before the credits finish to fit more shows in. Since normal movie credits are about ten minutes long the theatre can fit at least one extra showing in a day.

And I was just being silly, exaggerating the argument for effect. I don't want to reignite that long debate.
 
I think I walked in on someone getting lucky in a darkroom once.

I'm not 100% sure, it was really dark.
 
When I was in high school, the graphic arts/design classroom actually had two darkrooms. With all the machinery and chemicals you'd have expected Carl Kolchak or Peter Parker or Jimmy Olsen to have had to work with at the time.
 
The post-credits scene I call a "stinger." Usually the scene between the cinematic credits and the scrolling credits I just call a "mid-credits" scene.
 
The theaters I go to locally keep the lights down when there's post-credit scenes which is really handy. If the lights go up it's safe to go otherwise you sit like good sheep until the stinger.
