...This was one of them. This had a tight, nuanced and cerebral performances and storytelling in addition to popcorn value, and yet Edward Norton was driven from the production and became disillusioned with how Marvel perceived the finished product. Marvel took years to have another film like it (Winter Soldier) and by this point, they seemed more ready to tell that kind of story than they were in 2008 when they were trying to find an audience

I get ya, man. And I thought that was a pretty good flick. But that's a problem with translating it for the medium: You got two hours, most of which HAS to be "bang-bang-pow" or people won't go. Story suffers. That's why TV shows based on comics are always better than the movies. Comics and TV shows tell stories the same way, chapter-by-chapter, just one is paper and one is visual. Movies, you have to cram the best of everything into two hours. There's just no really GOOD way to do it. Some are better than others, but none really do it Perfectly. It's the limitations of the medium.
