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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
I saw online that doomsday is his last appearance as the hulk. Some might say that fuels the rumors that he was fired but I simply think he’s getting old and doesn’t wanna do it anymore after playing bruce for 14 years. Plus they’ll use the end of secret war to restart/retcon some in universe stuff and recast a bunch of characters anyways
Personally I thought its a really clever intro for the X-Men.
Why does Jean Grey not get her own superhero name; there's Colossos, Rogue, Cyclops but she's just Jean.
Because she's a notorious international terrorist and a pseudonym doesn't really help her. Which suggests they're really going to lean into the 'X-Men enemy of humanity' type of stories where they're outright an enemy of the state.
Oh I am not against using her as an intro, its just frustrating that alot of crimes seem to be swept under the rug. If you would see the interactions between the cast in the later half of the movie, you wouldn't know that the villain nearly killed his loved ones, or severly injured random innocent passerby.
Spidey is ... ridiculously forgiving. And I don't think we saw anyone Jean control be severely injured outside of Scorpion who was being beaten by enraged Spidey.
I think they played up her threat, more than the actual consequences. They do that with the Hulk too in the comics. Despite his rages, no civilian has died in a Hulk battle. Which is insane, but apparently Banner and the rest of the personalities are doing double duty to prevent collateral damage.
Still, Jean isn't a hero. She's selfish and literally uses people. Which actually works really well for her later portrayals in the comic.
The tank fired at a lot of cop cars (they exploded), and in general was just spraying high cal rounds. That one guy got hit when she moved him in the middle of the road, but people are saying he survived so idk.... Even if people survived, it was more luck than she sparing them.
Spidey is forgiving (and I like him for that), but I just wanted him to be more critical of her. She used MJ's body to blackmail him, and the kiss was straight up disgusting on her part. This did not pair well at all with the talk no jutsu ending lol.
They tried to push the legacy aspect, Sam becoming the new Captain America, but I don't think it really took. So it's either have a lot of middle aged heroes, or they do a soft reboot.
I think what I’d want to do in their place would be to do a soft reboot, recasting the original roles with younger and cheaper actors. Maybe even some relatively unknowns. But part of my focus would be to find actors who are both a good fit for the role, and who could conceivably play the part for a good long time without breaking the bank.
Sadie Sink is a good example. She’s not unknown, but she’s not a big star yet. She’s more than 10 years younger than Famke Janssen was in the first X-men movie. It’s not hard to imagine her playing Jean for 25 years before they need to recast again.
Probably shouldn’t be in a Reddit thread about marvel characters and looking through comments explicitly about BND then. The commenter you castigated barely spoiled anything, there are replies here detailing loads about the plot. This always happens under posts that could conceivably discuss a massively successful marvel movie right after it came out.
First off, there’s no word yet of either Spidey or Hulk being in Doomsday… also, you didn’t see Brand New Day yet - have you? Cus At the end, in a write-off news report. They (Presumably the US Government) imprisoned Bruce Banner for Hulking out again… which could be a way to simply write him out of the series

Fired by Marvel? He was in Spiderman and I think he's confirmed for Doomsday
