How irritating is click-bait? It’s something that basically encourages people to log on to different sites that might have nothing to do withe subject it’s supposed to be covering. In short, it makes news where there is no news. It’s also considered by legitimate news writers and columnists to be junk journalism in a way since it works off a lot of conjecture and in some cases flat out lies. It makes a mockery of writing and in many cases is unfortunately right but only in the sense that it’s like the know-it-all in the room that can’t help blurting out what they think is going to happen at any given moment based on one thing or another. In this case it was click bait that forced the ending of Avengers: Age of Ultron, to be changed.
Comic fans know a lot about the Hulk and they know that at one point and time he was banished from the earth because was, honestly, just way too dangerous to keep around. So the Illuminati confined him to a space ship and sent him hurtling into the void with a pathetic apology and explanation for why this was happening. Well if you know anything about the Hulk you’d know that he got a little miffed about this entire idea and forced his ship to crash land on a distant, unknown planet. This is where World War Hulk essentially started.
Now, it’s relation to Avengers: Age of Ultron is that at the end of the film we see the Hulk flying off in a Quinjet, the Avengers’ mode of transport, all by himself. He knows that he’s unable to control his rages, and he knows that they’re getting worse. Even the Black Widow can only calm him down for so long. So he figures it’s best to just remove himself from the equation altogether and find a different way to live. You can imagine how people like those that write for The Wrap took that. It forced the movie to have a different ending so that people would think that the Hulk was going off into space to start a World War Hulk saga all on his own.
Now that Thor: Ragnarok is set to reintroduce the Hulk though we have to wonder just what did happen to make the Hulk show up in this film. Obviously he left earth, but until we watch the movie we won’t know why, or how. Something happened to bring him to the planet, and someone managed to convince him that fighting in the arena was a good idea. The Hulk doesn’t need a lot of reason to fight honestly, but I do wonder now how click bait is going to be used to ruin things going ahead with the Thor movie.
I’m a writer, and I take pride in what I do. The idea of creating news where there is none is kind of abhorrent unless it’s for the purpose of a fictional story. Those that need to resort to using click bait are, in this writer’s opinion, not worth the words they’re putting on the page.
