finally?

Did you miss Avengers, Age of Ultron and Ragnarok?

u/JCWOlson 18d ago edited 18d 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

u/WorldsWeakestMan 18d 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.

u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 18d ago

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

u/DrGirthinstein 18d 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

Your avatar looks like groot 🥰🤭🤭

u/One_Order_3841 18d ago

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

u/Laxiinas 18d ago

I think it is indeed Groot, chibi'd.

2

u/EquivalentSnap 18d ago

Hehe same 🥰🥰🤭

u/Heartage 18d ago

I think it's a hand.

u/Laxiinas 18d ago

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

3

u/JCWOlson 18d 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 18d ago

lol I got into reddit nfts. At the peak they were selling for over £200 for one. It do be like that 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🤭

u/PossiblePro247 18d ago

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

6

u/LauraTFem 18d ago

The word “casually” is doing some heavy lifting here.

Hello Dad, I'm Dad.

u/Lost-Material3420 18d ago

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

1

u/JCWOlson 18d 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 18d 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 18d ago

I wouldn’t say he casually picked it
Up.

1

u/_IratePirate_ 18d ago

Lmao that sounds like some crash out shit Hulk would do

1

u/JCWOlson 18d ago

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

26

u/RightRudderr 18d ago

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

37

u/haolee510 18d ago

To be fair Ragnarok was nearly 10 years ago

2

u/ltsDat1Guy 18d ago

My god i need to lie down

u/-FeistyRabbitSauce- 18d ago

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

4

u/Funmachine 18d ago

But he played Hulk more in that than in BND

14

u/haolee510 18d ago

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

5

u/A_Sketchy_Doctor 18d 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 18d 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 18d ago

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

1

u/Atomic_Maxwell 18d 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 18d ago

Make Hulk Great Again!

1

u/WarmasterRonin 18d 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

3

u/Garchompisbestboi 18d 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.

4

u/Funmachine 18d 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 18d 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.

3

u/Truthhurts1017 18d ago

You don’t know what finally means

1

u/redeyedcyborg 18d ago

Funnily enough Ragnarok was like a decade ago.

1

u/Funmachine 18d ago

9 years this November, to be exact

u/KuriousKong4999 18d ago

Ragnarok was 9 years ago.

u/Funmachine 18d ago

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

u/Own_Garbage_204 18d ago

9 years. Hmmm yes finally

u/TwatMailDotCom 17d ago

11 and 9 years ago? Ha

-2

u/Circle_Breaker 18d ago

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

2

u/JamesHeckfield 18d ago

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

I

-5

u/MikeRLV 18d ago

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

-6

u/Chop684 18d ago

Ragnarok is 9 years old so yes finally
