Endgame Hulk/Bruce Banner - Mark Ruffalo

[MrWayne]

How was he a pacifist if he took part in the battle at the end? He actually does punch and throw enemies around in the last battle. Watch it again.

"Pacifist"?

Why do fans need to be hyperbolic so often? Where does the impulse come from?

Not sure but its a common theme where people who tend to be really big comic book/comic book movie fans don't have their maturity and emotions in check. So you get these childish teenager like overly dramatic knew jerk reactions to just about anything they dislike lol

Spoiler

Watch IW again, Thanos has a very obvious burn all over his entire arm up to his should, and the glove is welded to his fist. His arm was very clearly messed up.

Spoiler

He does I am not denying that, but he doesn’t look as injured as he did after the 2nd snap at the start of EG, when he is basically helpless

Nothing I have said is knee jerk!! Reread my post, I simply stated what I saw on film. I have never been childish in any of my responses. I openly say that I understand that others may feel differently than I do, but this is my opinion. I’m far to old with a kid of my own to play around on chat boards. I come here like everyone else to discuss, and yeah at times voice frustrations with the character, but again that’s my opinion which I’m entitled to just as you and others are entitled to .

You really should research what people are saying before you call them out with your own opinions about who you think they are or their maturity level. Smh..

Who was even talking to you?? LOL

I was replying to Kryptons post when he said "Why do fans need to be hyperbolic so often? Where does the impulse come from"

And so I gave my opinion about "people".... Where do you see your name mentioned?
If anything you're replying to the wrong poster lol

 

[Joefixit]

That original post from him was a direct response to my post saying that endgame’s Hulk was a pacifist.

He then went with calling out fanboys , which honestly we all are. We don’t really need to rehash this conversation as I feel it’s over.

I still feel that this was one of the worst iterations of the character, and accept it and move on. For all intense purposes according to the director of this film, the character is done sans someone else coming along.

It’s just sad to read comments from the writers and directors. Hulk never had a chance in this series. He would have been better if left out of it completely. That being said this was a really good movie with a good ending point for all the original characters.

Keeping thread on topic.... I too feel the last 2 movies should've given us more HULK.

At least we got the best version of Hulk thus far.
The fact that we crave and want more from this MCU Hulk is a testament to how much we love this guy. They did a good job and I hope we see more character progression at some point.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Kind of hope the She-Hulk series is just a rumour. 1) I don’t want to see the Hulk continue to be relegated to the science exposition guy, 2) She-Hulk is entirely her own animal compared to what I as a fan get out of Hulk stories.

Honestly, at this point just drop the character until the rights thing can be sorted out.

 

[terry78]

He needs a third movie. Once this **** is settled he needs one.

I agree

 

[JtheDreamer]

The Russo's explanation of what happened to Hulk's arm is a big downer for the character.

 

[JtheDreamer]

Spoiler

Eh, Hulk has a great healing factor and it shows because he survived. If Thanos cannot recover from it, and Thanos was shown to be the Hulk's better and was much stronger, then I see Hulk's recovery being very lengthy or requiring some help.

Thanos survived - TWICE! Remember he used the stones to destroy the stones afterwards.

 

[JtheDreamer]

The Hulk and She-Hulk streaming show will create She-Hulk and represent the passing of the hero baton, because Hulk is permanently crippled.

Personally, if the "passing of the baton" starts to happen too often with these characters, it may lead to me checking out of the MCU. Really didn't want to see that gimmick on screen. It's used in the comics because of how many issues they've burned thru while running out of ideas.

 

[eon001]

The Russo's explanation of what happened to Hulk's arm is a big downer for the character.

It's not just a downer but a bit inconsistent with what they set up in there own movie..

They set up that Hulk can survive the gem usage as they are gamma positive, and "it's almost like he's made for it" (words to that effect). If anything he should have got super charged and be more powerful than ever.

But fine, ok there magical, they have a different effect on people, blah blah.I'll take that. But why is the damage permanent? How does that improve the character? Oh he's suffering from loss? They were quick to give Thor his eye back, but they want to leave Hulk with on freaking arm? Give me a break.

I've been pretty open minded Russo's interpretation of the Hulk. I'm not expecting Hulk to be exactly like the comics, but why would they cripple his healing factor?

Thankfully the door is still open for another writer to say, Hulk's other personalities (Savage maybe) can access his healing factor and repair his arm. Hopefully we can see more of Hulk going forward. Solo movie, co-star whatever. He's story isn't done yet.

Sorry about ramble/rant. I'm quite the Hulk fan. :

Avengers Co-Director Confirms Hulk's Post-Endgame Status

So yeah according to the Russo’s the injury does sideline the Hulk.. permanently . I guess it doesn’t have to be since they are gone, but it doesn’t seem like marvel has any plans for him.

Yea it's a shame that Marvel don't know what to do with the Hulk. I hope he can continue to make cameo's.
I'd be happy if he plays a professor in Shuri's education institute or something.

It bugs me that they were quick to replace Thor's eye, but they're happy to give the Hulk one arm indefinitely. Why!?

How hard would it be to say, "yea he healed a few weeks later. The magical effects of the gem slowed down his healing but he's as good as new now."

 

[eon001]

Re: Hulk getting his revenge against Thanos, I actually believe that he gets it in a ''subverted expectation'' way typical of the Russos.

You know what part of the movie I'm talking about.

Rematch battle didn't really bother me that much, but I would have liked to see more feats of strength. Hulk holding up the building for example.

Would have liked to see him level up during that moment and gradually access another level of strength. (Maybe even another persona like Savage, or Joe Fixit)

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

What is being overlooked about the "finality" of Hulk in that same interview:

Despite the apparent finality of everything involving the Infinity Stones, Russo said that there could still be a way for the Hulk to regain his lost strength.

"Who knows? There's a lot of really smart people left," Russo said. "Maybe somebody helps him repair that. Maybe somebody gives him a new arm. Who knows? I have no idea where that character goes from here.

 

[Charzhin0]

Theyre trying to make Hulk a Lizard/Dr Connors hybrid now?

 

[Spider-Fan]

Thanos survived - TWICE! Remember he used the stones to destroy the stones afterwards.

I am aware, by that means little. Thanos is more powerful than Hulk is. But even that first snap messed him up.

 

[jolldan]

Knew he was meant to be injured from the snap obviously, but had no idea was meant to be permanent seems an odd choice, especially when Hulk was one of the OG Avengers and didn't really have a definitive ending to his story like Cap, Iron Man, Widow or Hawkeye.

 

[Roose Bolton]

It is an odd choice, hell, I’d even go as far to say a dumb choice.

 

[Iceman]

Thor could have benefited from a long term damaged arm and then gone for the Uru arm. I would have also preferred he kept the damaged eye for longer. We could have had a really good looking King Thor that way. I definitely want Hulk back to full strength eventually and fighting effectively even as Professor Hulk (who I thought was interesting otherwise).

 

[jolldan]

Yeah don't get why you wouldn't just say something like it will take even Hulk's incredible healing factor a long time to regenerate from that.

Leaves you with the option of benching him next movie because his arm is still injured or you could just write that enough time had passed and he's back to full strength. Seems like writing Hulk in to a corner that they didn't need to.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

This among other things is why it would be good to keep having Hulk cameo in more upcoming films. Get to the Strange sequel and magic that arm back or whatever. Or... Could be the next team to handle him waves it all away with a "It was damaged and took awhile to heal but it's back now" and we move on.

I’m not sure why they wanted that. They seem to really not go for Hulk action for some reason, and managed to avoid it for the most part in their event films despite Hulk being so popular in Avengers 1. Also we’re already taking a big hit to the OG lineup which is fair enough at this stage, but I really wanted to retain a few of them to mix in with the new guys going forward. Even if they need to take a timeout for a bit.

Yeah unless Ruffalo wants nothing more to do with the MCU I just don't know why you wouldn't sign him up again like Thor and have him appear as a supporting character in Dr Strange 2, Black Panther 2 or even Captain Marvel 2.
