marvel cinematic universe - What happened to Stan Lee after he drank the gamma soda?


In The Incredible Hulk, we see Stan Lee drinking a soda with Bruce Banner's blood in it:






He drops the bottle and we're told:



...it had more kick than he expected



But what actually happened to him?


Did he Hulk-out, even partially?


Is there any deleted scene or interview which sheds light on it?




Answer



It doesn't show the effects of consuming the contaminated drink in the movie but, in the script, the victim is a woman.



KID (CONT’D) Mom? WHIP PAN:


Mom is on the floor, her body in a spasm, eyes rolled back


KID (CONT’D) MOM!!!


INT. GENERAL ROSS’S OFFICE - DAY GEN. T. ROSS at his desk. Lost in thought. Snaps out of it when his female aide, MAJOR CABOT, puts some forms on his desk. She moves him through signing boring requisition orders...


CABOT ...and here’s something a little more interesting.


He holds out his hand, not that optimistic...


she hands him a two page fax..



CABOT (CONT’D) Possible gamma sickness. Milwaukee. Woman drank one of these guarana sodas. Had more kick than she was looking for.


ROSS Last three were irradiated fruit, not Gamma...


CABOT Look at the spectrograph in that path report. Even the FDA didn’t approve that. Whatever it was it was concentrated. Got less than a tenth of a milliliter and it almost killed her.



In the usual annoying and insufferable way of finding Stan Lee a part, they shoe-horned him into this scene and re-wrote it a little but he didn't "hulk-out", it just made him very ill.


At the time of the report to the general it is very clear that he didn't die as the line in the script maintains that it almost killed him.


There is nothing in the movie to confirm that he died and the screenplay is quite clear about the womans fate at the time of the report.

harry potter - Do the Kwikspell courses work?

In Harry Potter we are introduced to Kwikspell course in The Chamber of Secrets (and never hear about it again). We see Filch taking courses, presumably by mail. The descriptions of Kwikspell make me think it is for people who are weak in magic (kind of like how Neville was supposed to be when he was younger), but had magic in them nonetheless. However, Ron's comments later in the chapter make it sound like it is mainly for Squibs to learn magic. However, it is strongly implied through out all the books that Squibs are essentially Muggles, and will never be able to do magic. How then is a Kwikspell course supposed to work? Do we have any information to know if it works at all? Is it a scam? An answer from any level of canon is welcome. Answer Kwikspell courses are (probably) useful to some wizards, but not to squibs. The Kwikspell course literature comes with two testimonials. Madam Z. Nettles of Topsham writes: ‘I had no memory for incantations and my potions were a family joke...

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

star wars - What "exactly" happens when someone turns to the Dark Side?

When I saw the original Star Wars saga as a kid, the concept of the Dark Side imprinted in me was quite simple. You did a bad thing, so you're a bad person so you go to the Dark Side and keep doing bad things. Now, obviously this doesn't hold true in reality. In my mind it is perfectly reasonable for Luke to kill the Emperor and Vader and then just flee the Death Star and rejoin the Alliance. After all they are at war, those are enemy officers that have captured him and are taunting him by threatening with death of all loved ones and the whole operation was intended to kill the Emperor anyway. The same would hold true for Anakin. He could have killed Mace Windu to save the Chancellor and Padme but that doesn't mean he's going to then go mad and kill all Jedis including children. It doesn't add up from a merely psychological point of view. He had a set of objectives and that made him want to keep the Chancellor alive (quite valid by the way, Mace Windu is quite clums...

star trek - Warning regarding forward saucer section in Nemesis?

In Star Trek: Nemesis , just before the Enterprise rams into the Scimitar, Picard sends a text message from his captain's chair arm pad to Troi — who is manning the helm in lieu of the crewman who was just blown out through what was once the view screen — indicating that she should put full impulse on standby. (Literally, if you watch the scene closely, Troi's console prefaces the order with "TXT MSG" !) My question is: Did Picard also somehow warn crew members in the forward saucer section about what was about to happen? The ramming of the Scimitar was a heat of the moment decision. Considering that he also resorted to calling the auto-destruct sequence shortly after (which ended up being offline), he probably was of the mindset that any losses would be acceptable in order to hault Shinzon's march to Earth. Still, I'm curious. Answer The original script indicates that he called for the crew to " brace for impact ". Whether that call (or the comma...
