Imagine your alter ego saying you can make a compromise and ends up shoving you in a basement in your mind for years while he uses your body. Then starts actively repressing your body too, making it so you're back to where you were in the first place.
Then after years of never being able to see the sky, someone else takes control of you. If be pissed at everyone too. And if it's comic accurate, Hulks gonna get bigger when he's mad
I think it was because hulk was repressed for so long and then the mind control. but remembering Peter really hit home. the hulk didn’t understand why he remembered Peter.
I don't think it's a remembering peter, i think it's much more of a "banner seen this boy before" type of recognition, like seeing someone that you went to high school with
Adding onto this - the fact that it IS banners influence too, shows that Banner and Hulk could be both merging again, but not necessarily like they did in endgame, but a PROPER thing, like in Moon Knight where they can talk to each other kinda thing
All I want is a scene where Bruce and Hulk communicate in their collective mindscape. Bruce can come to terms with the fact that HE created by Hulk through his traumatic childhood and had been suppressing his emotions long before the gamma accident.
Yeah it bothers me that right now in the MCU the only explanation we’ve gotten for why the Hulk exists is Bruce is bad at dealing with his emotions. It would be so much more interesting to dive into his childhood trauma and how that affected him in such a subconscious and psychological way
I don't think he recognized Peter, I think Peter saying they're friends reminded him of Black Widow and Captain america and the other friends he's lost. His anger that makes him strong was overwhelmed by sadness that he wants to hide from so he relinquished control back to banner to avoid those feelings
I’d like to think Hulk actually considers the avengers as his friends, he knows his enemies and allies and he doesn’t need to be tight buddies with them. So when Peter said it, it triggered something in him. Hulk is intelligent too just has anger issues and is bad at communicating.
Hulk is mad cool in this movie tho.. He def looked like heknewPeter even tho they never actually met since OG hulk never came out again after ragnarok and shit
I think the running theory is at Tony’s funeral, offscreen. That would be pretty flimsy though so I’m leaning toward it being the word “friend” that made Hulk pause.
It's hulk usual. Hulk got almost 0 civilian casualty. And inside the mask hulk so he really is just a kid so he let go. Honestly that's the only way to stop hulk. Only hulk can stop hulk
He would have deserved it... BUUUUT for some reason in this run they absolutely assassinated the Abominations character, they made Emil an abusive husband yet he still refers to his "loving wife" they were torturing him by making him watch the tape of her saying goodbye over and over again but if this is the case what was the real punishment? That he couldn't go home and Pummel his wife some more? He's nothing like that in any other run.
Thor's muscles apparently feel like steel cable, I imagine pretty much all super heroes feel like steel cables underneath either some thin elastic membrane, or with the Hulk, presumably a thick dense rubber.
There's one panel in the Baki manga where Baki describes hitting Yujiro as hitting a stone pillar wrapped in thick rubber, I imagine it's similar to that
there's a subtle funniness or something about that line to me, like all the superheroes have certain laundry lists of information that they have all filed away about each other kinda like kids on a playground do about them
I'm sorry but it's it true that Hulk gets bigger the angrier he gets as well as stronger? It would make sense why he got so big. Plus Everytime we see him hes a lil bigger than before.
Age of Ultron Hulk was able to hunch down and comfortably walk around the jet. Thor Ragnarok Hulk couldn't fit in the jet while hunch down and was actively tearing the jet apart.
Why so much hate? He's clearly put in the work in the off season, likely upped his calories and stuck with a PPL split for a few years and got results. Not that crazy
Anytime the HULK persona takes the driver seat without Banner he is physically bigger. When he was in the arena he was even bigger than this, BUT by that point Hulk had taken over completely for months by that point.
When banner is in the driver seat you get smart Hulk, and smart Hulk was even smaller during the She-Hulk tv series then he was in Endgame because by that point Banner had been in charge for even longer without reverting back to his human form.
Avengers and AOU Banner and Hulk were still fighting mentally for control and at that point Natasha was Hulks trigger because Hulk and Banner both liked Natasha.
My head canon right now is that this is the Hulk from when Norton was still Hulk. We have had a semi controlled Hulk since the end of that film with that controller being "broken" means it's us seeing a free savage hulk after a very long time.
Still he was like 8'6 in Ragnarok , his tallest mcu record was The incredible Hulk 9feet , until now in brand new day, he's over 9 feet now. Spiderman is 5'8 , so is emily blonsky.
Isn't he just hunching in the first one? His hips seem to be at shoulder height too, and the torso seems to be the same size assuming spiderman and black widow are the same size too more or less.
I’m reckon if he’s in Secret Wars the Russos will make him smaller again. They themselves have admitted they don’t know what to do with Hulk so they nerf him.
Absolutely. Hulk in BND is the tallest Hulk we’ve gotten in the MCU now. He’s even taller than 2008 Hulk who stood at 9ft on the dot. Now easily over 9ft
thats pretty much hulk from a baby to an adult. heard a theory the reason he looks so stupid and troglodytic was cos it was his first time out in a world so advanced and hes hunched over like a idiot this is one of the first times we’ve seen hulk stand up straight w a posture of a MAN. if u take a look at the hulks we’ve seen hes been getting more and more distinct in the facial features as hes grown more accustomed to the world and his environment
I think it's great. It shows how angry Hulk is that he's been suppressed for so long. You could also say it's a commentary on how Disney's kept him dopey and suppressed for so long
One is hunched over and one is standing upright, literally 5 seconds later he crouches in front of spider-man looks exactly like the first pic. Not that i care i just know some people lack common sense
From this image, you might could blame it on his posture but yes it’s pretty incredible how big he got and that fight scene was pretty amazing as well. Hulk deserved more screen time.
I don't think he's actually bigger, at least not from these pics. In the first he's clearly crouching down and natasha is taller than peter. Put these together and perspective makes him look bigger
First image he's hunched over and is standing in front of 5 ft 3 black widow second image he is on a raised platform standing in front of 5 ft 6 spiderman and not hunched
I mean, this is true in the comics too. Hulk tends to be as big as the current creative wants him to be. Sometimes there's an explanation for it. Sometimes not.
You know he is standing on one pic and kinda hunched on the other one right?.. he is the same size when he fought Thor in Ragnarok or the Hulkbuster, I feel he is smaller when he is Professor Hulk tho
They ruined hulk for me by making him scared after Thanos beat him once. Now he doesn't look that scary to me. No way Thanos beat him in raw strength, he should have got more angry and bigger which mean Thanos would have to use any other trick
Hulk is supposed to be scary. MCU moved to this "cute" version of Hulk who is funny and just kind of there... Hulk should be someone you never ever want to fight. I liked that they let him be big and scary in spiderman

Wonder if that’s the effects of being repressed for so long.
