What’s next for him?

Second brain behind time travel, snapped everyone into existence. He peaked already.

Maestro movie.

Where we see the end result of Professor Hulk and why we need Savage Hulk to return.

Hulk in every movie has had a case of being almost good. Even the 2003 one, it was really interesting but just dragged on and on.

Nothing, his arm's permanently fucked and his showings in endgame pretty clearly display that he isn't a fighter anymore, neither in skill or competency.

Nothing, his character arc is done. He will die saving a retard

>He will die saving a retard
Hulk and Ant-Man team-up sequel confirmed!

Mentoring the next Gamma-Powered hero. Stay on the side-lines and talk about psuedo-science mumbo-jumbo and invent stuff.

I guess you write what you know, huh?

Mentor figure for the Young Avengers

deep down i honestly believe that this whole thing is just one big ploy to axe banner going forward and bring in Cho or Jennifer

Whatever it is I'm sure it'll be inconsistent with the last time, like always.

But now Banner can walk right up to them without fear and tell them to fuck off and suck his big green cock.

Just watched it today, I forgot how delightful it was. It’s more than a superhero movie it’s also a monster movie on top of it. It’s a shame that they couldn’t continue it with universal, it feels like the monsterverse they failed so hard to get going

I wouldn’t mind if the next hulk movie is a prequel where he gives Jen her powers. Her origin is solid so it could work as a new spot but I imagine them being tied up in universal Disney gonna be shitty

>arm's permanently fucked
I hope you don't believe that.

Getting saved by strong independent female heroes.

how have they yet to settle the issues with Universal in the same way they have with Sony?
why is Universal not interested in milking the Hulk like Sony has with Spider-Man lore

She-Hulk saving the Hulk is nothing new

he gona lose his powers and give then to she-hulk, who will be stronger and smarter than him,

Nothing

Now we all wait for Loki

His healing factor should have kicked in by the time the iron man funeral happened, since it didn't, safe to assume it has the same dumb rule as the soul stone thing where the effect is permanent.

That's just a set up for a Hulking Out scene where he goes savage for some reason

You think someone with access to a master of the mystic arts, space tech, plus bunch of big brained motherfuckers, and one whose own body actually regenerates at a crazy level, wont figure out a way to fix his biological impairment? Cmon man...

Only until they feel like using him again. Thor lost an eye, immediately replaced. Hulk will probably have to go savage to beat something and heal from that and also reverse his fix.

When they returned to the attack of Loki in 2012 he was bad, but when told of the death of Natasha he made a perfect throw with the bench in the lake

Maybe something in the contract? I’m surprised they let Disney burn planet hulk, that’s a least worth two movies. Though besides Jen and Betty who else is there to make movies about? Was rick ever in the movies?

>wont figure out a way to fix his biological impairment? Cmon man...

he spent decades trying to fix the biological impairment that is the hulk before just accepting it.

To be erased from existence. What an insult to the character.

>implying he can't rip off his old arm and grow a new one
Comics Hulk once ripped off his own head and it grew back instantly.

When has MCU Hulk's healing factor ever been shown directly?

underrated

>first avengers movie
>hulk has to work to bring down space whale
>endgame
>scott just casually slaps one out of the sky
he got powercreeped

To be fair the only way it was even close to the actual Planet Hulk was the fact that Hulk is a gladiator on an alien planet.

He is never shown fighting anyone other then Thor, and he jobs in it.

The dude in charge doesn't try to kill him after his first fight, instead keeps him around as his champion, which Hulk is OK with.

Only Meik and Korg show up, none of the other Warbound appear, and they dont even interact with Hulk

And no BATTLIN' BETA RAY BILLLLLLLLLLLL

Russos said that any damage done by the stones/gauntlet is permanent and can't be undone, even by other stones.
But this isn't really the word of God, so it isn't set in stone.
And as for people who keep saying "in the comics" I don't think Disney has any interest in adapting the comics 1 for 1. I personally don't mind it, as much as I like seeing certain panels adapted to the big screen I'm also glad when they do something different.

If he ever got a movie:
>Prof. Hulk just doing his best to balance heavy lifting hero stuff and being a scientist
>Worries about going back to full Hulk from all the stress and small things that tick him off
>Samson tells him to go on vacation and see the world
>Prof. Hulk agrees and goes on a road trip with Betty, Rick, and Jennifer
>So far so good and everyone is having fun and Prof. Hulk calms down enough to return to Bruce Banner
>They don't realise they're being watched by Mastro a Hulk like being from the future
>Mastro has tech to turn people, animals, and even inanimate objects into gamma powered beings in order to test Hulk
>So Prof. Hulk ends up fighting Zaxx, Absorbing Man, and Abomination barely surviving each encounter
>Rick and Jennifer are infected with the gamma tech, but turn out okay after a blood transfer from Bruce
>Turns out Mastro needed him to go full Hulk in order for him to gain that power AND still somehow keep his sanity because of future enemies
>Whole thing about Prof. Hulk not wanting to fall for Mastro's manipulations, not wanting to become him, and allowing others to help him

I'm so happy Savage hulk was gotten rid of.

Sarcasm aside, I really wish savage hulk wasn't kicked to the curb, since he never did get to have his revenge on Thanos for ass-kicking him.

Nice

Nothing, they timeskipped his whole chapter arc.

>straight to dvd adaptation watcher

MCU Hulk doesn't have a healing factor.

We have a Professor Hulk and a time machine now. If they don't make a movie based on the Maestro storyline, then it'll be proven that Kevin Feige is a hack

Attached: Maestro.jpg (250x380, 30K)

They can't make a movie. Universal won't let them.

Kek would vote

user, MCU Hulk has been an unlikeable failure since Avengers 2.
Not a single scene he's been in since has been worth watching.
Not one.

Professor Hulk should have been done in Avengers 2, not now.
And not like this.
He's a balless cuck, a wimp, and lacks the one thing that makes him marketable as a character. Because no one likes Ruffalo's bruce banner. Not without the juxtaposition of the savage hulk.

Just bring in Red Hulk and push Prof Hulk to the corners of the MCU as nice cameo bait.

They CAN do Maestro. But they quite honestly do not have the motherfucking balls to go through with it and Ruffalo doesn't have the nads to be the badguy.

Hopefully killed off and replaced by a banner/hulk from an alternate universe that is comic accurate.

> GREENED.COM

>comic accurate
>wanting to inject the shitty things that killed interest in your medium
I would to see some scenes play out in the big screen, but to be 100% accurate would never happen, and honestly never should.

Comic accurate as in the 100% tried and true iconography that sold the character in the first place.
Not the coming dumpster fire that is the next phase of the MCU or MCU's current failure called "Hulk".

Professor hulk is comic accurate in that he existed. But what we've been given is not very good or likeable.

They can keep using his cg likeness for 50 years, he'll be a background character forever.

You know they're far more likely to bring in Asian Hulk than do that.

There's a reason the MCU hasn't given him a stand alone film, because there isn't much they can do with their iteration of the character.
What would you do to fix this user?
I heard rumors that they wanted Abomination in age of Ultron, and I feel that would have been a great avenue to introduce prof Hulk.

Go back in time and have someone slap the shit out of Whedon.
He ripped off enough of Norton's Hulk to make both the Hulk and how Cap moves work in the movie.
They should have had banner talk normally while in hulk form and not just devolve him into savage hulk if they didn't have the fucking balls or more precisely talent to make it work.

He was "always angry" and transformed into the Hulk at will in the first avengers movie. That shit was fucking lit. Run with that.
Make Hulk less savage more Banner with the gloves off and eventually have him lose it and realize that HE is the problem and that there is no savage hulk. Just a man with rage issues who loses himself in his anger.
THEN he evolves into professor hulk.

nd no, BW is not a good replacement for better nor was it a good idea to FAIL at doing the hulk is a misunderstood monster pathos.
It's out of fucking nowhere and just screams they don't give a fuck about hulk or the actor wants to act but not too much.

The only way to fix this is to go full schizo with hulk and have him begin to lose tons of time and realize that he's been going full Mr.Fixit.
Have a Grey version of the Hulk showing up and beating up guys in certain movies.
Then have professor hulk completely hulk out and go full savage

Show that Banner isn't as in control as he hopes and that his...."abomination" type pseudo persona called professor is just a much of a fake him as savage, fixit, banner, and soon the maestro.

They really REALLY can only go full Hulk is going to be the Maestro and the next villain of the MCU with this.
Full power savage hulk with Banners intellect and him being evil?
Dude. Imagine that shit.

>There's a reason the MCU hasn't given him a stand alone film

they havent done it because Universal owns the distribbution rights

Disney will go out of their way to fucking pay for those rights if there was ANY chance of the Hulk making money in theatres.

But...Iger and JJ basically took a big fat duce on SW and are still raping it's corpse because they wanted to own SW outright and not have to pay Lucas any residuals...well

They don't show wounds knitting together but every time something has managed to wound him, he shows no sign of injury the next time the camera cuts to him.

not yet
im sure they'll discover it when it's convenient. up until thanos, hulk really hasnt had a fight that hurt him all that much

Immortal hulk

how could they make a movie with the hulk at this point, since hulk now is a child friendly hipster?

General Ross and everyone outside of the Avengers are supposed to fear him to the point he's hunted down. MCU hulk is a bitch right now.
There is no motivation for banner to even want to get rid of Hulk either, which is why Ed Nortons version was the best.
he was suicidal and did all he could to not transform

cutting off his arm and getting a mechanical replacement

and now it's overrated

I think the hulk would just angry himself back an arm before he got a mechanical one.

The problem is that Universal is kind of a bitch since they own the Hulk rights, which means they can't spend too much time on him, so good luck on getting a Planet Hulk or World War Hulk.

It'd be amazing, but that would take multiple movies to execute properly, and Universal doesn't want to play ball. Not to mention Marvel Studios seems content to relegate Hulk to comedic support status.

Well thats bullshit, because wiping out half the universe is damage caused by the stones and the entire movie was about undoing that

if Disney hold the tv rights > Disney+ and do something with Leader or Ross maybe

No they didn't

They said people killed as sacrifices for the soul stone are gone forever.

What they said regarding his arm:

>"As you may notice, his arm is skinnier, it's blackened," Russo said. "So he loses a lot of strength there."

>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.

Given how Immortal Hulk is ripping up the charts I imagine he might get a solo movie again.

I like professor hulk because ruffalo is charming.

Yeah a few months of 80k sales, I'm sure Disney is just champing at the bit to shovel money into Universal's pockets now!

Is that even possible after what they did with Ragnarok?

Nah, She-Hulk is out of the picture, Unlike Hulk, the distribution rights for her are solely owned by Universal. So unless they make a deal similar to Sony with Spiderman, she won't ever appear in the MCU.

>up until thanos, hulk really hasnt had a fight that hurt him all that much
>lost to Hulkbuster
>was losing to Ragnarok Thor until Grandmaster cheated
>was almost killed by Fenris, only saved by a waterfall
>swatted away like a fly by Surtur
>was basically useless in Endgame

Has MCU Hulk ever won a fight?

Abomination and Loki, and Ultron sort of.

I still hold out hope for him to lose his shit and just go World Breaker.

Everybody has his limits.

>Can we all admit MCU Hulk has been mishandled trash?

I can.

Abomination was pushing his shit in for most of the fight. If Blonsky didn't make the mistake of going after Ross and threatening Betty he could have killed Hulk before he got angry enough to overpower him.

>Loki
Eh, he's a bitch.

>Ultron
I don't even remember that. All I remember is that it took a combined attack from Thor, Vision, and Iron Man to hurt him.

Since they've decided not to go the horror/savage way with Hulk since Ruffalo lacks that kinda range and people seem to like this new version more (not to mention they can't give him his own movie), I'm thinking they could do the whole Microverse period with Ant-Man, exploring the Quantum Realm city while falling in love with Jarella and meeting Black Knight down there, as well as unveiling the mystery of Janet's unexpected survival in that universe. Then if they can't depart from the whole heist format, make a wacky sort of adventure that involves them escaping from the kingdom into the real world.
Of course that's what I'd do to make Ant-Man movies more interesting but also to keep Hulk relevant, but likely they'll scrap all that to make room for Stature and another family heist.

Maybe not quite ax but he'll probably be retired and replaced by Cho, if the coming of Captain Falcon and Lady Thor indicates anything unfortunately. Ant-man might also be replaced by his daughter Stature.

I'm hoping that the acquiring of Fox properties will give Disney some leverage to offer a franchise or two for Universal in exchange for the Hulk stuff. They already did that kind of stuff between Fox when they had traded usage of Ego for changing Negasonic Teenage Warhead's ability from the comics(yes, Fox made that kind of deal).

>Wants the body for himself
>Sends monster goons after him
>Ross wants to grab Prof Hulk to stop him from being a target.
>Grey Hulk comes out when they try to KO Prof Hulk
>Something something

Did universal fuck up his chances at movies?

when the universal right to hulk expired then ?

Hulk was great in the first Avengers movie. That’s probably his best on screen appearance. Russos clearly didn’t know what to do with him though so he went downhill in recent years.

He was a legit monster in Avengers 1. Then it all went downhill. How the same character who almost killed Black Widow with a pimp slap and did the Leviathan punch end up dabbing is beyond me.

Is it weird to think he's hot

Pasture.

Word is he is permanently gimped. They even gave him gray hair.

This.

Hulk was the Avengers' nuclear option.

I unironically missed and liked Edward Norton as Hulk. What happened? He would’ve had better range than Ruffalo although he’s the perfect Disney Hulk

>Hulk Movie with wendigo and Wolverine introducing the new Wolverine like the classic comic.
>Abomination like last time
>Ross as Red Hulk he’s already a character
>Bring in Grey Hulk
>Have a Hulk/Thor movie where they fight Loki and the Absorbing man (like a good absorbing man and not the 2003 Hulk shit)
>MODOK
> Leader as they already established him “Samuel Sterns was a confidant of Bruce Banner in the 2008 film Incredible Hulk who helped empower the Abomination only to be knocked down with Banner’s blood dripping into his head wound setting up his turn as the Leader if a sequel was made.”

>Universal is kind of a bitch
Funny, it always seemed like Disney was the bitch since Paramount had no issue with Universal distributing.

Unironically pushing Carol ruined him, they're so desperate to give carol a niche they gave her the strongest title. Taking that away from hulk just left up with a bitch ass banner with all of the interesting character traits he should have completely neutered because he can't be strongest one there is anymore. Honestly the entire movie should've had thor or tony constantly shit talking banner hulk until in the final battle he snaps enough to be the the last line of defense before tony gets the stones away from Thanos and does his snap

Rent free

They lost sight of Hulk's appeal and gave the character a very final resolution.

He has overcome his personal issues and reconciled all that is useful in his persona. He had immense personal growth that basically removed his entire appeal and edge.

Moreover, they made him a milquetoast. While he may not have anger problems (some scenes suggest he still struggles) he is completely inhibited, he is shy and understated. While he will talk to fans, he cant even break stuff with abandon just to pretend and play a part.
On top of that, its been said he might stay crippled. Its awful.

Who knows? When Universal decided not to make a sequel to Hulk 2003 the rights to use the character apparently returned to Marcel, but Universal retained the distribution rights. The Incredible Hulk was made before Disney bought Marvel, so it didn't matter then, but it seems Disney is not interested in producing a movie they don't get to distribute. I don't know the specifics of how it works when another company distributes your film, but it presumably significantly undercuts your profits. If the deal has a limited number of years attatched it's not been discussed publicly.

Its disney kneecapping him to fuck over any potential play with Universal. I just rewatched the Norton Hulk and it actually was really good, it felt like a Marvel movie with a solid horror twist, I will always wonder what the MCU would look like if Marvel never approved the fucking sale to disney where it would've been a community of companies working on movies rather than just a fucking company within a conglomerate

I'm still confused.

Is the Hulk a separate entity or is Banner actually the Hulk?

This, he'll eventually have to release the hulk. It would be fucking retarded if they truly gained permanent unity. They can't make a solo movie bc rights but they will do with they did with ragnarok/iw/endgame over next phase or two. Hopefully we get red hulk and some grey hulk shenanigans

Hulk has always been Banner. Basically his Id.

He is a facet of Banner created from the repressed anger Banner constantly feels due childhood trauma/abuse.
Banner is mentally unwell, basically. Hulk shows up when Banner let's go.

I think it's up to each writer at this point, but it should be that the hulks personality is banners subconscious rage suppressed since his childhood. Obviously gamma radiation made it more than just that but that's the root of the hulk in general

it doesn't matter, phase 3 marvel was the end

Because he was angry.
The angrier he gets, the stronger he gets.

And as well adjusted as he may seem, he is still struggling with anger, just with a lot better results.

Qhen he goes to get Thor, who is a reclusive and slovenly mess, Thor keeps putting his hands on Hulk, talking shit. Until Hulk, theiught gritting teeth, tells Thor to get his hands off him. You can tell Thor was provoking Hulk in such a way, Hulk had to keep cool and restrain his anger over the perceived disrespect.
It shows a lot of improvement on Banner's part, but also shows he is still working on his anger issues.

I just wanted the whole movie be thor shit talking hulk until hulk flipped the fuck out and attacked thanos at the end of the movie. Was that to much to ask for?

I dont think it was, user.

You know what irks me? The glasses. Its indicative of how diminished he was, that he was even nearsighted with the consolidated personalities. And that it was supposed to be indicative of intelligence, which is an old trope i hate.

I would have preferred caveman looking Hulk surprising you by being well spoken. Like they would have gone to New Mexico to find him and he would have landed near them after one of his miles long leaps, making a crater and then cheerfully greeting his friends. Hulk always only wanted to be alone.

Its the problem with Disney not wanting to play ball with universal, whoever convinced ed norton to not do the avengers honestly is to blame for the lack of growth of the character. I wonder who it was who convinced him not to come back? I just rewatched it and god damn, it isn't perfect as a movie but its just about everything you could want from a hulk movie, you could've done the leader next, maybe turn betty into Harpie and then done a prequel with Jen establishing her as she hulk

youtube.com/watch?v=BWnjBlX054k

This is what I've always thought, but then they started doing alternate universes/timelines in which that wasn't the case.

There are also a bunch of characters who are just hosts for the hero or villain and not actually that person themselves.

Yeah, I think the writers can decide which universe they want a story to take place in, but how about in the MCU timeline?

It certainly seems like in the movies they're different. Otherwise how could he refuse to come out?

I kinda get him not coming out as a reaction to his loss but it he's done that before. In the final battle of the edward norton movie he actively decides not to come out until banner impacted the ground trying to "share the load".

Though I'm wondering anons we've gotten meastro and professor hulk which obviously are different parts of banner taking control of the hulks power fully, but have we ever gotten a hulk banner? Where the hulks personality stays in puny banners body?

In the comics, yes.

Right now for example, Joe Fixit, the gray Hulk, is often the controlling personality in Banner's body.

He'll be a side character in the She-Hulk movie

Now this certainly sounds like split personality.
We're saying these are different characters who are all in Banner's mind? Why would they all give themselves a different name instead of just going by "Hulk"?

No user, that broaches on being acceptable. he'll be captain marvels sidekick in her next movie "gamma world" where she has to beat the leader and prevent him from making more hulks and hulk will be the damsel in distress who is the key to stopping it

Does General Talbot have anything to do with him?

Can anyone explain why She-Hulk has that kind of contract in the first place anyway over Hulk and his other supporting casts? And why hasn't Universal tried anything with her yet if they have her full rights for her?
