but that origin story in Incredible Hulk is a reboot.
I think he means its pointless to devote an entire movie to the origin story when one was already made a few years prior. Incredible Hulk didn't bother with the origin story, just putting out the basics in the first few minutes and trusting the viewer knows enough about Hulk. All-Star Superman did the same thing, opening by detailing Superman's origin in nine words.
Exactly. The opening in the incredible hulk movie was everything that people would need to know. Movie may be a reboot but if the way they got the powers is the same then there is little point in rehashing that material unless you intend to deviate from it extremely.
thanks both of you for clearing that up
