Finally just getting around to Marvel but now I'm at a hitch. I'll rent Spiderman movies because I've literally never watched a bad Spiderman movie and people tend to like Homecoming and the others. Iron Man was pretty damn good. I just ask, is this essential, do I got to go out of my way to view this?

Other than one character who has had like three minutes of screen time in one other movie, I don't think it has a single important thing in it. It's not bad, but not really good either. I'd just watch it for completion sake if you plan on watching literally everything, but skip it otherwise.

Not...really?

The most important part of that movie is Thunderbolt Ross, but the events of that movie aren't referred to much at all

Nothing memorable or necessary in that movie. All you need to know about Hulk is that hes a scientist who can turn into a big strong monster, lol.

It does not matter at all. The closest thing to mattering is (spoilers to be sure) Thunderbolt Ross also appears in other movies. And there's one What If episode that actually references some Hulk 2008 scenes. Other than that it's like the MCU has went out of its way to not reference that movie.

It is a better film than Iron Man 2 though, if that matters.

You also meet Ross, who is a fairly important character throughout the MCU. He pops up quite a bit.

I will say watching these movies as they were released, it was cool as shit to see Tony Stark show up at the end of Incredible Hulk, pretty much confirming there was going to be a shared universe.

Now that we know all of this exists, that moment isn't as impactful. The moment is cool to see as a fan, but overall not necessary.

As others have said Ross is the only major component of importance that you see later on. And I don't think you'll be lost later on if you don't watch this movie.

The poster I quoted was talking about a character that shows up in Shang Chi. Not Ross.

I wasn't responding to your point or their point.

We don't yet have context to whether the Shang-Chi cameo will be important to any of their future appearances.

I still maintain Ross is the only character of importance that shows up later (so far). Not including What If?

If you're referring to what I put under spoilers, it's not nearly as impactful.

Back then we weren't sure the movies were going to be built into this cinematic universe. If you're watching now, you know there are Avengers movies that feature all of these heroes, that's why you're going back to watch.

At the time this hadn't been done to that extent in the comic book movie universe.

Yeah absolutely. I'm sure at the time that would have been really fucking cool. I was under the assumption it happened with the first avengers movie.

Yeah. Overall, if you're a comic book/cbm fan, I'd say watch it once. If it's too much of a hassle or you can't get your hands on it or just want to skip the unnecessary, Incredible Hulk is one of the few movies within the MCU that I would recommend skipping.

It is canon to MCU, but it's not necessarily essential viewing.

Alright. So is every D+ movie good besides Spiderman 1/2 which I am willing to rent? I've done some light research. By good I mean in order lol

Yeah I believe Incredible Hulk and the 2 Spiderman movies are the only ones not on D+ (and Eternals, since it's still in theaters, but by the time you get through 22+ movies it'll probably be on there anyways).

You'll probably get a lot of feedback from other users about which other ones to skip. Popular ones are Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Thor 2 (Dark World), and even some character's origin stories.

Personally, I'd say take the time to watch them all. My least favorite is probably Thor Dark World, but even that movie has some aspects of it that get revisited later on. Some of the movies you'll like/love less than others, but give them a chance. The whole story is quite an experience, you might as well try to get as much of it as you can. And always check the mid/end credits of movies to make sure you're not missing anything leading to the next movie.

And once you get there, check out the D+ shows too. Those are all much later, after Avengers 4.
