I was pissed how they hand waved Hulk and Banner's relationship. They developed it well in Ragnarok and IW but we got nothing. Not even when the ancient one separated the two
Benjamin Williams
and yet idiots will defend this
Ryan Hughes
Disney has no clue how to handle heroes with actual powers, isn't that obvious by now? They are wildly inconsistent and uncreative
Endgame just confirmed they aren't willing to take any risk. Just do what's safe and pander to the audience. They're too afraid of failure that they just stay mediocre
>don't question things just mindlessly consume Why did you enter the thread
Levi Hughes
Yeah, asking the real big questions here, buddy. Practically paradigm shifting.
Levi Perry
Do they still not have the rights to do Hulk solo movies? Thats probably why he's been shafted so much. Though it could be the Russos just not caring about the character. For all his faults Whedon let the Hulk be the Hulk.
Evan Walker
>being this upset that people don't love your cape shit movie
I didn't even mind the evolution to Professor Hulk. I just wish it hadn't happened off screen and that they hadn't ignored the whole plot from Infinity War.
Julian Jones
>Hulk after seeing his character's arc in the "grand finale" of the MCU
After how poorly the last two attempts at a Hulk film went, can't blame them for not caring to try
Noah Nelson
It wasn't ignored. It's not outright stated or nothing, but it's obvious the reason why Banner spent months shooting gamma rays into himself to turn into Professor Hulk was because he was trying to take responsibility for failing to stop Thanos in IW.
...and in the process of taking that route with the character, they completely avoided answering why Hulk refused to come out during Infinity War.
Hudson Smith
Except they directly answered it?
Justin Perez
Where? How? The Russos saying "he was tired of saving Bruce all the time" in an interview somewhere doesn't count. Bruce making Professor Hulk because he felt bad Hulk didn't do anything in Infinity War doesn't answer WHY Hulk didn't do anything in Infinity War.
Jose Phillips
Those two attempts failed because the movies were fucking dogshit. Any time Hulk's not on screen is fucking boring because none of the niggers working on the film ever picked up a Hulk comic in their fucking lives. PETER DAVID DID ALL THE FUCKING WORK FOR YOU ALREADY, IT'S RIGHT FUCKING THERE, JUST ADAPT IT YOU DUMB FAGGOTS, GODDAMN
The thing is, we already got Bruce/Hulk's conclusion to their character development.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaallll the way back in Avengers 1 >That's my secret, Cap. I'm always angry.
From there, there's only a few ways to take it, and we got that.
>Bruce feels useless by himself, everyone only likes Hulk; Thor: Ragnarok
>Hulk feels used, only comes out when necessary; Inifinity War
How do you resolve that? How do you let Hulk be an individual without erasing Bruce? How do you make Bruce useful without having to manipulate Hulk?
Professor Hulk was always Bruce's endgame. It's the natural conclusion to >I'm always angry
Adrian Smith
LITERALLY THIS PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENJOY THINGS THAT ARE OBJECTIVELY BAD
ITS CREATES AN ENVIRONMENT THAT FUCKING SUCKS WHERE PEOPLE THINK SHITTY WORK IS OK
Oliver White
How much does the mouse pay you?
Isaac Kelly
The problem is, nobody here knows what the fuck >Objectively bad even looks like
Grayson Wilson
>Professor Hulk was always Bruce's endgame
Everyone wanted Professor Hulk, but Professor Hulk likes to smash. He just does so while speaking in complete sentences. This isn't Professor Hulk, this is just big green Banner.
Didn't these faggots say that Hulk "just doesn't work" in a solo film? Yeah, they obviously never read PAD's run on Hulk. They don't know SHIT about Hulk. He's one of the most interesting superheroes EVER.
David Jones
>Smash my green butt How lewd
Lucas Williams
Sounds like the same problem you get with Godzilla and Pacific Rim. Daft suits think the movie needs to be mostly drama with the monster fights coming second.
Ryan Walker
Yes you do. There is some things that are so technically bad on a writing, editing, or general production scale that they are bad. A lack of craftsmanship and pride in one’s work. You can enjoy mediocre work, but you usually can admit it.
Things that literally give a definition of good by not being them.
Carter Flores
>The thing is, we already got Bruce/Hulk's conclusion to their character development. >Aaaaaaaaaaaaallll the way back in Avengers 1 The problem is the thing with Hulk in Infinity War isn't necessarily character development, but rather simply a *storyline.* Something you have to do with characters in *every* movie. And you don't complete/resolve a storyline by forgetting about it and introducing a new one.
Jaxon Rivera
>they completely avoided answering why Hulk refused to come out during Infinity War They didn't need to?
Hulk wanted to be liked and respected as a person for who he is. Being a gladiator, he got all that. Then Banner and Thor took it all away from him and treats Hulk like a show dog, only allowing him out when he needs him. After Hulk got wrecked, he lost the last sliver of pride that he had left as a fighter. In Infinity War when they wanted him again, he said fuck that, they don't care about him except when they need him to clean up a mess, he won't care about them and their problems.
To be honest, I don't get what the rest of the thread is going on about. The Hulk+Banner merger clearly happened because Banner decided to embrace the Hulk as part of himself. And after he does, he's still liked and all the kids love him after the snap. Hulk got what he always wanted. This is just the exact same shit Beast and Mystique went through in X-Men First Class where they decide to just fully embrace their mutant selves instead of hiding it from the public.
This shit is so obvious even to a five year old. I don't get why you or anybody else in the thread can't get this.
Daniel Moore
>mostly drama That's the thing, PAD's Hulk run WAS mostly drama, but it was good, INTERESTING drama because Banner multiple personalities were pulling him in different directions, then he merges all of them together and it still causes problems with his friends and Betty. It was a fascinating story about a man struggling with his own demons while also having awesome fights and stupid ass 90s shit like pic related.
But some fucking billionaire jews in hollywood just can't seem to get it right.
Show don't tell, faggot. No one's complaining about the merger, anyone who knows anything about Hulk saw that shit coming a mile away. They're complaining about HOW it happened and how lame and gay it is.
Ian Lee
>not going apeshit when he found out Widow died >no rematch with Thanos >not even one SMASH scene
It's like fucking up mashed potatoes.
Parker Nguyen
>They are wildly inconsistent and uncreative Sounds like comics to me
Ryan Barnes
This, everyone was praising that "Clint and Natasha finally got development in Endgame" but once again seeing them doing anything with the Avengers felt dumb as fuck. "Let's send the archer and spy to a remote alien planet to get an Infinity Stone, they got this!"
I know Hulk had that direct connection to Strange in IW but Clint could have easily gone in his place and we'd have some some sort of pay off to Whedon's dumbass forced Hulk and Widow relationship once Banner and Natasha had to sacrifice one or the other on Vormir.
Grayson Bailey
I mean granted
Adam Butler
Hulk is actually gay
Julian Mitchell
>Banner and Hulk have issues for 20+ movies >Have them figure everything out and work it all out off screen YUP THAT'S SATISFYING
Nathaniel Sanchez
>Banner and Natasha had to sacrifice one or the other on Vormir. To be fair, that wouldn't work cause Hulk could survive that fall and there wouldn't be any sacrifice.
Sebastian Gray
You know, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and think they are saving it for a solo Hulk movie, being honest I wouldn't mind watching how they merged or what they did during those 5 years. But I'm a really optimist faggot.
Ryder Jackson
>DCucks reacting to Flopzam dabbing and flossing
LOL BASED hahaha
>DCucks hearing Hulk dub ironically in front of some zoomers
cringe cringe cringe please don't watch those movies anymore!!!!
Sebastian Evans
What fucking movie did you watch because it sure as fuck wasn't pacific rim
This is why I want the next Avengers film to have a major Hulk villain as the enemy, someone who can drive him down and make him crack under the pressure until another Hulk comes out.
Cooper Long
>we didn't get to see Professor Hulk use the training he did with Captain America in the years after the snappening to one verse one Thanos forcing Thanos to use a gem like he did on Carol look at what they did to my boy
Justin Wilson
He's probably complaining about the long stretch of character development and worldbuilding between the Alaska fight and the last stand at Hong Kong.
Connor Reyes
but even between those two there's the Australia fight
William Roberts
This was my biggest gripe with the movie. I fucking LOVED the alaska fight and the hong kong fight, and to a lesser extent the ending, but everything in between just felt like filler between amazing robot fighting monsters goodness.
Eli Morris

Kayden King

Nolan Robinson
How the fuck did you two forget about the FUCK OFF CUNT WE'RE FULL Beatdown?
Austin Clark
The 15 second long scene? No, but its irrelevant across the span of a two hour movie.
Xavier Reed
But we're not talking about a 2 hour span.
Xavier Ortiz
Straya Cunt was just a (glorious) 2 second clip. It probably would not satisfy a guy who wanted non-stop mecha vs kaiju fighting.
Jayden Gomez
Then that guy should go play a video game because there's no way an actual literal entire movie would be made about that.
Alexander Johnson
To be fair, I wanted a movie like that too. But I think getting to know the characters and the world actually adds to the enjoyment.
I'm still mad Pacific Rim 2 was such a shitshow.
Julian Evans
Fuck you. Thats what everyone watched the movie for.
I mean, finding where they are on a planet vs. which planet they're on are two different things.
Cameron Kelly
But Banner is Hulk.
Thomas Powell
>And Bruce seems to be completely in control, leaving Hulk, in essence, dead. Actually not. When he speak to thor he actually speak with what he remember when Thor interacted with him in Hulk 3, in the Thor 3 movie, about how he helped him out.
And his slower also indicate Hulk presence. Hulk is not dead, he is just not agry. You don't see Hulk because angry is all you associate him with.
Ryder King
>"You think Hulk... The other guy..." >"NO BANNER, ONLY HULK!" They might not entirely agree with you on that one..
Josiah Bennett
>>Thanos knows where all the stones are and who has them, No, he doesn't.
Xavier Miller
But hey, he dabbed, that automatically made the movie better!! that and the fortnite scene made me cringe so hard
That would likely be the point. Rather than arguing over it it would have to be Nat because Hulk is nigh impossible to kill. Plus Bruce knows that he has to make it back because he's the best person able to withstand using the stones.
Anthony Hall
If the dusted ones werent dead, where did they go?
except he didnt kill hulk you fucking idiot, they merged. anyone with half a brain can tell that he acts much, much more socialable and confident. hes got the brain and the brawn, but also banners generally friendly, agreeable attitude with hulks edge because theyre the same person now
Jackson Hill
>fuck context, i'm gonna be a twat! go back to Yea Forums or your bucky-cap fanfiction, I don't care which
Christopher Long
Are you saying they're the best of both worlds and that he started to look at Hulk as the cure?

Landon Hughes
>tfw I never thought of that Fuck me, apart from Phase 1, that's actually true and that's because Disney didn't really have much to say back then. What a bunch of assholes
Nathaniel Powell
How to spot underages: They think Hulk "dabbed" instead of doing the Hulk Hogan pose.
Disney has no clue how to handle heroes with actual powers, isn't that obvious by now? >Killed Quicksilver. >Wanda was basically jobroni until Endgame. >Hulk is underwhelming as fuck. >Thor until recently was in the same boat. >Strange gets written out of Endgame fight. >Vision fucking dies. >Carol, the one character I don't care for is of course the only that gets to be the all encompassing powerful one
>didn't notice Wanda actually wrecking Thanos to the point he had to order an orbital strike on her to defeat her And all he needed to do against Carol was bitchslap her
Henry Sanchez
>She-Hulk could be fun if done right >Spider-Woman hard pass >Gamora is "gone" >Didn't see Captain Marvel probably won't watch the sequels either
You’re writing the movie for them. The truth is that Hulk was too powerful for the MCU to deal with, so they wrote him out with Goof Hulk. Same reason Marvel is always in space doing totally important things. They just need an excuse to get them out of the way, knowing full well fanboys will grasp every straw to excuse it.
Jace Mitchell
Even carol had to fuck off to space and only seems to have turned up because the higher ups want to keep pushing her.
There’s an increasingly large number of people who simply can’t accept any criticism of their beloved million dollar franchises. It’s a new religion.
Kayden Morales
Notice how Hulk lost to Thanos in Infinity War. What did Thanos have that Hulk didn't? Better super-strength? Maybe, but even if so it didn't matter nearly as much as technique. If Hulk had had brains as well as brawn; tactics as well as power, he might not have lost to Thanos at the very beginning.
So it's sort of a shame we didn't get an ORAORAORA/MUDAMUDAMUDA of MMA Hulk versus galactic warlord Thanos, but hey there was so much going on already.
Hunter Allen
FUCK if you want to talk about a real crime let's talk about how fucking underwhelming Thanos's Black Order was in comparison to how they're presented in the comics...also killing off IW Thanos was a mistake since 2014 Thanos had zero emotional connection with the Avengers he essentially got demoted to "MCU Villain of the Month", the film should have been them trying to get the gauntlet off of IW Thanos instead of time travel
>Endgame just confirmed they aren't willing to take any risk. Just do what's safe and pander to the audience. They're too afraid of failure that they just stay mediocre >When the previous movies just killed half the cast Epic.
Christian Moore
Shin Godzilla is clearly beloved in Japan and Godzilla mostly background presence!
Xavier Bell
>When the previous movies just killed half the cast Except they didn't because they all came back in the end
He didn't kill off Hulk, they merged their personalities. You can see Professor Hulk get angry a little bit when Thor puts his hand on him and when they're mourning Nat. The being is the best of both worlds and his arc was completed by them reconciling their disparate personalities into one
Daniel Sanders
They merged personalities in Endgame resulting in Professor Hulk
Liam Gomez
You are an idiot and the fact you are so inspired to fight back against mediocrity for superhero movies make you pretty pathetic actually
Jordan Jenkins
Hulk fans are kinda like DBZ fans. Character growth for them is Hulk being better at smashing things, being stronger and a better fighter in general. But that's not Banner's objective, Banner doesn't care about smashing shit. He just wants to live normally. Him growing as a character would be him finding happiness. That's why him being the way he was in Endgame was actually fulfilling Banner's arc in a much more satisfying way than if he simply got a rematch against Thanos and bodied him.
Hunter Brown
>he finally gets to a state where he and Natasha can have something >she even gets the (theoretically, if shit is to scale) the biggest cock on the planet >she dies Being Bruce is suffering. At least they probably spent those ~5 years 'productively'.
My mistake. You’re, correct it’s absolute shit. Cary on.
Eli Gonzalez
Looks like he is a little on the small side, even if that works out to being 'once you go green' when scale is taken into account. Plenty of women have fucked the Hulk and been extremely pleased with the results.
John Hill
I mean, I don't disagree, but there wasn't time. They can't make Hulk solo movies for legal reasons, so we get character development offscreen. It sucks, but it's the way it's got to be.
Maybe now that Disney+ is a thing we can get a miniseries about Banner and Hulk during the 5 year gap.
Charles Campbell
To be fair that's been hinted at for a while.
Zachary Wood
I mean, these are the people that felt no need to explain how the fuck Hulk ended up in space.
Levi Collins
But they seem to handle villains with them quite well, it doesn't add up.
Nathan Brown
>What is age of ultron's ending
Nolan Martinez
Professor Hulk is 100% Bruce mentally, which means that Hulk - his mind, his personality, etc - is gone.
Easton Richardson
given the totally unaccounted for aggressiveness he gave Thor for touching him in nu-valhala, I think not. They just merged.
And any way it is his body not hulk's.
Aaron Collins
Literally AoU retard
Camden Flores
>Professor Hulk is 100% Bruce mentally "Can we get a picture?" "Absolutely, little person!"
Adam Fisher
This. You don't like what I'm saying about your shitty shit? Walk away.
Bentley Turner
Do you not get Hulk is Bruce's id? Do you really not get the entire point of the character?
Colton Myers
well we all know shit talking it wont do anything either
"Chief of Police named Malake Tanos arrests 'Spider-Man', 'Green Lantern' and 'Batman' in Ceara - Brasil"
Three "Super heroes" who work in entertainment were arrested today in posession of illegally owned guns in Brasil. I don't know if this is in any way related to this thread, but i think people have the right to know that this shit happened.
Kevin Mitchell

check out this dumbfuck.. disney had no say so in these movies. just because they may OWN the rights doesnt mean they had any creative say so in the making of any of these movies. fucking morons I swear
