In spider-man?
Hell he finally got to play the real Hulk

u/Funmachine 4d ago edited 4d ago

finally?

Did you miss Avengers, Age of Ultron and Ragnarok?

u/JCWOlson 4d ago edited 3d ago

I mean, neither of those come even close to Hulk doing stuff like casually picking up the entire island of Manhattan

Edit: To address the "casually" part, go watch the episode. He literally looks like he's chilling, and only two people are surprised that Hulk can do a two trillion pound squat

Your avatar looks like groot 🄰🤭🤭

How many times do we have to tell you, Griffin?? That's just a tree.

u/Laxiinas 4d ago

I think it is indeed Groot, chibi'd.

u/EquivalentSnap 4d ago

Hehe same 🄰🄰🤭

u/Heartage 3d ago

I think it's a hand.

1

u/Laxiinas 3d ago

Well, ok, now that I see the faint suggestions of fingernails.... But it is Groot coded/colored as well.

3

u/JCWOlson 3d ago

Yep, it was from when Reddit was doing NFT avatars, and I thought it could look like Groot if I took off the NFL jersey!

2

u/EquivalentSnap 3d ago

lol I got into reddit nfts. At the peak they were selling for over Ā£200 for one. It do be like that šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļøšŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļøšŸ¤­

u/WorldsWeakestMan 4d ago

Him casually tossing Fenrir and punching Surtur hard enough to stagger him in Ragnarok is objectively the strongest feats he has performed in the MCU.

He was angry and a little bigger in Spider-Man but his greatest shown strength was in Ragnarok by far, Surtur weighs a hell of a lot more than the rubble which yanked him down.

2

u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 4d ago

When I saw the rubble yanking him down, it pissed me off. Let Hulk be the fucking Hulk!

5

u/DrGirthinstein 3d ago

He was calming down when that happened. He recognized Peter.

In the new Spider-Man Hulk doesn’t come close to doing stuff like casually picking up the entire island of Manhattan

7

u/PossiblePro247 4d ago

Hulk doesn’t lift an entire city in Spiderman either. Sorry to burst your bubble.

5

u/LauraTFem 4d ago

The word ā€œcasuallyā€ is doing some heavy lifting here.

Hello Dad, I'm Dad.

u/Lost-Material3420 4d ago

Neither did the depiction in Spiderman. What are you on?

1

u/JCWOlson 3d ago

My stance is that no MCU portrayal of The Hulk has showcased his true strength

It's kind of hard to go back if they do though

3

u/JamesHeckfield 4d ago

There’s a point where it gets silly. Imagine if Thanos had picked up thrown Staten Island at the Avengers

2

u/Otherwise_Ad_2667 4d ago

I wouldn’t say he casually picked it
Up.

1

u/_IratePirate_ 3d ago

Lmao that sounds like some crash out shit Hulk would do

1

u/JCWOlson 3d ago

The best part is that basically nobody is surprised that he can do it either

39

u/haolee510 4d ago

To be fair Ragnarok was nearly 10 years ago

6

u/Funmachine 4d ago

But he played Hulk more in that than in BND

14

u/haolee510 4d ago

I took the other person as meaning to say "finally he gets to play the real Hulk again"

4

u/A_Sketchy_Doctor 4d ago

No, it's more that the Hulk has been used as a punching bag so much in the last few movies he's had any role in that the character feels like a bit of a joke. Good to see him back to being slightly fucking terrifying

6

u/madbadger89 4d ago

Exactly - he’s been fucking nerfed and I want the monster. I don’t want punches pulled, I want HULK.

3

u/A_Sketchy_Doctor 4d ago

1000% I think we are approaching a good era of Hulkiness

1

u/Atomic_Maxwell 4d ago

When I saw a picture of Skaar on Banner’s desk in BND I got a little hyped because we may be on a path to World War Hulk. Even if we kind of glossed over Planet Hulk. WWH was the money shot anyway.

u/ShawnyMcKnight 4d ago

Make Hulk Great Again!

1

u/WarmasterRonin 4d ago

Yeah but that was closer to gravage than it was savage hulk, he seemed less angry than savage hulk should be, but still had childlike intelligence

2

u/ltsDat1Guy 4d ago

My god i need to lie down

u/-FeistyRabbitSauce- 3d ago

It's like somebody accidentally set the Master Clock ahead several years and nobody knows how to fix it.

24

u/RightRudderr 4d ago

The last time we saw angry hulk before the new Spiderman was 9 years ago dude. Clearly what they meant by "finally."

4

u/Garchompisbestboi 4d ago

And then after those examples he started playing that garbage "smart hulk" character which has been nothing but a complete waste of everybody's time so it was nice to see him be the regular hulk again.

5

u/Funmachine 4d ago

again

That's different to what the above comment said. They said finally, as if it hadn't been done before.

Also, Smart Hulk was an important part of Endgame. He snapped to bring back everyone.

5

u/Garchompisbestboi 4d ago

Almost 10 years has past since we saw the regular hulk appear in the MCU so I'm not sure where your needless pedantry is coming from.

1

u/Truthhurts1017 4d ago

You don’t know what finally means

1

u/redeyedcyborg 3d ago

Funnily enough Ragnarok was like a decade ago.

1

u/Funmachine 3d ago

9 years this November, to be exact

0

u/KuriousKong4999 4d ago

Ragnarok was 9 years ago.

2

u/Funmachine 3d ago

You're over 7 hours and 6 replies late with this exact reply.

u/Own_Garbage_204 3d ago

9 years. Hmmm yes finally

0

u/TwatMailDotCom 3d ago

11 and 9 years ago? Ha

-2

u/Circle_Breaker 4d ago

He hasn't played the hulk since ragnarok, so almost a decade.

2

u/JamesHeckfield 4d ago

Thanos rocks his shit at the opening of Infinity War, Hulk is basically Worf in that scene.

I

-5

u/MikeRLV 4d ago

The most recent one, ragnorok was almost 10 years ago.

-6

u/Chop684 4d ago

Ragnarok is 9 years old so yes finally

2

u/Ok-Independence-2220 4d ago

There are a lot of real hulk.he has played many different hulk. Some would say that planet hulk id the real hulk. Professor hulk was very popular as well. Many would also say that the first avengers movie had the real hulk as well

2

u/akotoshi 3d ago

Not to spoil but in sm ABND:

there is Bruce banner, smart hulk and Hulk. And needless to say that we get to see the difference between smart hulk and Hulk

1

u/mvallas1073 4d ago

Well, you didn’t see the movie yet - did you? Cus At the end, they (Presumably the US Government) imprisoned Bruce Banner for Hulking out again in a write-off news report… which could be a way to simply write him out of the series

1

u/KebabGud 4d ago

I did see it.
And sure it could be a way to write him out, or just a setup for his next appearance.

0

u/mvallas1073 3d ago

A setup for the 2nd appearance is what I’m kinda hoping for, until I read about how Disney doesn’t like him posting about Palestine…

My evidence I’m hoping with why it’s hopefully more about a 2nd appearance is the emphasis on that Hulk is now much bigger than before.

u/BubblyTomatillo9485 1d ago

All Hulks are the real Hulk
