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.

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.

aliens - Interstellar Zoo story

I vaguely remember this story from my childhood: it was about an interstellar zoo that came to Earth with lots of bizarre and unusual species, and humans would file through and gape at all the crazy looking creatures from other planets. The twist came at the end when the perspective shifted to the other side of the bars and we discovered that the "creatures" were traveling through space on a kind of safari. They thought they were the visitors and we were the animals. Neither side knew that the other side thought they were the zoo creatures. Answer Got it. Zoo, by Edward D. Hoch. Published in 1958.

harry potter - What is the difference between Diffindo and Sectumsempra?

In the Harry Potter books, Diffindo is called the 'Severing Charm' and it’s most commonly used to cut ropes and the like. However, in the last book Hermione uses it on Ron but misses, creating a 'slash in his jeans' and his knee gets cut, causing him to 'roar in pain'. We've only seen Sectumsempra used once on screen when Harry directly uses it on Malfoy in the sixth book, but there it's mentioned that he is 'waving his wand wildly'. Wouldn't Diffindo, if used in such a fashion also cause a similar effect? Similarly, if it was able to cut Ron, it would also be able to, say, chop off an ear (George's)? In that case, how are these two spells different, except for Sectumsempra seemingly used exclusively to hurt humans? Answer While Diffindo and Sectumsempra both can be countered by other spells, Diffindo is far more easily countered. Reparo, a relatively common spell, can completely reverse its effect when used once. “He pulled the old cop...

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...
