0:00.0	Welcome back to new rock stars, I'm Erie Voss.
0:02.0	And the most surprising part of this Road to Avengers Doomsday is really the way Marvel films get reincorporated in future MCU titles in ways we never expected.
0:10.0	And maybe the best example of that is 2008's The Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton.
0:15.0	While many things in this film are forgotten, Marvel Studios has been obsessed with bringing back pretty much everything else in it. William Hertz, Thaddeus Ross, later played by Harrison Ford, Tim Roth's Abomination Emil Blonsky, Tim Blake Nelson, Samuel Stearns, the leader. Even Liv Tyler got to come back as Betty Ross in 2025's Captain America Brave New World.

1:32.3	And for this episode, join us as we go down, down, down the road, down the doomsday road.
1:38.0	And Thunder clap!
1:40.9	It's such a good movie.
1:42.5	It's so fun.
1:43.3	It is just kind of overshadowed by all the other bigger things that happen in the MCU.
1:47.4	Marvel Studios loves to mine its lesser movies.
