I didn't like what they did to him. You have Bruce Banner and you have Hulk. They're like polar opposites they shouldn't have mixed them together. Hulk is supposed to be angry, aggressive, like an overload of testosterone- not what they made him into in Endgame.
It's "Hulk smash!" not "Hulk smile!"
I loved Hulk in Avengers Assemble, I haven't seen the movie in a long time now, and for me, Hulk was the most memorable part of the movie.
I mean how can we forget about how he bashed Loki around all over the floor and then called him "puny God?" Or when he smacked Thor out of the way? Or when he complained about the stairs (basically me at school every day)?
Mark Ruffalo does a good job at portraying Bruce Banner as well.
But I feel like, in Infinity War and Endgame, they really messed up his character. And in Thor Ragnarok, they made him talk, and not like he used to like they made him form actual sentences. I know it's small but it gives him a sense of intelligence, something which Bruce Banner has, but not Hulk. Hulk is more like a monster who can't think straight and just uses brute strength.
And it's safe to say I definitely don't like what they did to him in Endgame. It ruined him for me.

The entire storyline takes place way far off into the background as other characters and their storylines steal the spotlight in the forefront. In the comics, Banner going from just a scientist, to a monster/human, to a dual personality, to Professor Hulk, is all a huge journey with a lot of plots, sub-plots, involvement regarding other major characters and so on. In a serious storyline such as that one, which is depicted directly in front of the audience, there's bound to be emotional payoff. Unfortunately, Bruce Banner and the Hulk went through almost their entire story off-screen, thereby taking away a chance for the audience to feel his journey.
Take for example the one MCU movie no one likes to talk about, "The Incredible Hulk". I was taking my nephew and nieces through the entire MCU movie marathon a few months back, and it was their first time watching those movies. When we got to "The Incredible Hulk", which was only the second one, there was indeed emotional payoff. The one scene where Hulk wipes Betty's tears and says "Betty" in his heavy tone got the kids crying. We saw Banner's journey in that movie. We saw the Hulk's journey in that movie. But immediately after that, he became more of a prop. The other characters became prominent in the MCU, while the Hulk became a supporting character, used as a brainless heavy for the most part, and to create comical and humorous moments. But other than that, his own story, his own journey, his own feelings were more or less eliminated from the grander scheme of things.
All of that was meant to change with Endgame, but alas, all we got was an off-screen transformation, and some heavy lifting, including bringing half the universe back, which I would consider to be VERY heavy lifting. And now with one arm permanently gone, and his cousin She-Hulk coming into the MCU, it's basically understood by everyone that Marvel doesn't care about this particular iteration of Bruce or Hulk.
I don't think Hulk was a joke at all.. I didn't see him bein the butt of any jokes.. That was mainly Thor.. And even then there is a story behind it.. To me it just seemed like a natural progression of his character.. Bruce Banner is not a violent man at all, and he was always afraid of the Hulk.. I think if you take a deep look at it.. Its kina sad.. Bruce felt so inadequate from the events in Infinity War and the beginning in Endgame, that he felt he needed to do somethin with the Hulk.. From a story tellin perspective it makes sense really.. You couldn't keep Bruce and the Hulk in the same place just for the sake of makin the Hulk look cool.. They ain't done with the Hulk, so I feel they will do one more thing wit him..
They're totally done with Bruce Banner and the Hulk. Mark Ruffalo's contract has only one or two films left. The character's distribution rights belong to Universal who doesn't want to co-operate with Marvel to make another solo film, and Marvel isn't even interested in pursuing a solo Hulk film again. Banner's arm is permanently damaged, his cousin is entering the MCU, and the Russos have declared his character arc complete. Sorry bud, Marvel doesn't give a shit about this character.
@waggonerchristopher Yeah, I know about the contracts.. That's why I mentioned one more thing.. Lol.. If he has 1 or 2 more films left then they could do maybe one more thing wit him.. And it might be to help bring She-Hulk into the picture.. Hulks arc may be complete, but like you and I mentioned he still has a couple of appearances to make.. We never know what they will do with him.. But at the same time I see what you sayin.. Especially after the whole Spider/Sony thing.. My faith in Marvel died a little.. LOL..
I agree. I feel like they should have kept Bruce and Hulk as two separate personalities. It was more interesting, cause we would get to see the transformation.

Yeah, I am reading a lot of hurt feelings in this thread. The fact of the matter is the one of the few characters that is depicted accurately is Hulk in EndGame. In the Infinity War comic, the version of Hulk confronting Thanos was Bruce Banner Hulk.
Not sure what folks are whining about.
Thor was not involved at all. Thor's replacement was Eric Masterson who carried the mantle of Thor. The real Thor was indisposed.
I feel that the hulk has changed so much that in 2030 he is gonna be a lawyer. They made green lantern gay, killed Superman and made Spiderman black and turned Captain Marvel in to a woman. Batman lives but superman dies. What the fuck man! It's all bull shit the hulk is mentally retarded with anger and strong as he'll the more he gets mad the stronger and powerful he gets. He does not need any help he is the Boss, put not going now any one can just come to earth from another planet and kick the Hulks ass. It's gonna Come out on Ripley's Believe It or Not tonight at 7pm. What the fuck man. 😞
I thought Hulk in Endgame was fine. It's a natural progression for the character and I believe that's also the way they went with him in comics, isn't it? The Hulk is a metaphor for uncontrolled rage. It makes you in to a monster. Learn to control your anger, though, and you get all of it's strength without the self-destruction. It's a fitting end to his story, I think.

I personally was very disappointed with endgame Hulk is a joke, he went from the most liked and strongest avenger to a big nothing, he did nothing the whole movie. Nothing
Where’s the hulk and thanks match up we’ve been waiting for since he got crushed in infinity war... never happened Instead captain America is somehow stronger than Thor now 😂
They kinda depowered him in infinity war and age of ultron so that he was no longer the strongest avenger. If I had made endgame hulk would have been able to go tow to tow with Thanos not captain marvel who did what Thor and hulk could not. Even captain America did better against Thanos than hulk did even if it was with mjonir and the power of thor.
Oh my goodness, there was a Hulk TV show which used to come on when I was basically a baby (about 1 or 2-years-old) and my dad said every time he turned into Hulk, I got scared and started crying lol xD
I hate it. I've just recentl watched the incredible hulk movie from 2008 and you wanna tell me an unpredictable monster just becomes like yah I'm a big green smart nerdy guy now? It takes away all that angriness the Hulk is supposed to posess. Wasn't it like that he gets stronger the angrier he gets? Well then he should be quite weak right now.
I didn't have a problem with him, per se. Professor Hulk is a thing in the comics. And it's cool to see a different representation of him in the MCU. We got the most we could out of standard Hulk.
We all have different opinions but I and my dad were discussing that they should have introduced "world breaker" Hulk or I was thinking even "red Hulk".
Yeah, he is General Ross, but it's just an idea- movies don't always have to be 100% accurate. It would have been awesome to see World Breaker Hulk though.
To Understand the creative reasoning behind it, you have to look at the source martial, They were going for Professor Hulk in. the comics but adding the MCU take on it.
I guess I understood why they did it. To show how far he'd grown as an individual. But you're right. For the final battle he should have been hulk smashing everything in sight
I have always preferred Savage Hulk. However the Hulk/professor hybrid has occurred in the comics, so it's not like they created him out of left field.
I feel the same way. Hulk is another casulty that no speaks of. In the comics, Hulk and Banner find a way to work together. In this one, Banner basically kills Hulk. I hate it.
There are lots of comics and they cost money, so no I have not read them all. I read the ones which I could stuff which was in my school library and things.
I mean they could have also introduced "world breaker" Hulk or "Red hulk" somehow. But everyone differs in opinion I suppose.
I haven't read comic books in a while. Did not know their was a Red Hulk new news to me. I am a great huge fan of the Hulk. Hulk Busters, a group that hunted the green brute, had captured him and found the way to cure him. Then something went wrong, terribly wrong. There became two hulks, Banner and the Ever Green machine the Hulk. Only thing was Banner, under the light of the full moon would change into this new hulk which was smarter meaner and tougher than the Green Hulk. So after each beating from Banner the Hulk received the hulk busters would patch him up. This is how they tamed him and he joined the Busters to hunt Banner. Really awesome story to follow! They eventually put Banner back into the Green hulk but he never became human again.
