The Hulk's story arc was certainly bizarre and weird. It was so different than what fans originally perceived it to be it made the comic book nerds watching the movie scratch their heads in confusion. He was portrayed a tad bit different and his character arc sounded a bit extreme. Why was that? Every character had a story arc that helped it develop forward while Hulk's made him step backward. Why did Marvel Change the Hulks' story arc in the movie?!
Since Disney does not wholly own the rights to the Hulk (all thanks to Universal Studios), Marvel Studios can only use Bruce Banner as a supporting character in the MCU movies. The Hulk's character development began as a trilogy of sorts, as said by Mark Ruffalo who plays Bruce Banner in Infinity War. The trilogy began with Thor: Ragnarok which focused on the Hulk persona. Infinity War was the second part which focused more on Bruce Banner than the Hulk. Avengers 4 will be the trilogy's culmination, focusing on both the personas coming to terms as separate entities occupying the same body. He is undergoing a transformation in the MCU. The only problem is – the direction the transformation is taking is erratic as hell.
Hulk was the one in control throughout Thor: Ragnarok. Bruce heardly remembers anything of the two years he spent as the Hulk in Sakaar when he transformed back to his human form. But in Infinity War, after Bruce transforms back to the Hulk, he remembers his fight with the Mad Titan vividly, with every little detail. What could be the explanation for that? Well I don't think Marvel made a mistake herr cause they are normally very specific about these little details. Maybe it was because he so traumatized by Thanos' fists that his memories of the event bled into the Bruce Banner.
Avengers Infinity war humanized the Hulk. It showed genuine signs of emotions. Hulk is somewhat of a child while Bruce is the adult. The Hulk follows a 'Hulk Smash' attitude while Banner approaches a problem logically and rationally. When the Hulk saw Surtur and Abomination, the Hulk's first instinct was to beat the shit out of both. Banner has always been scared of what he could do as the Hulk, so he stays afraid of himself and others his whole life. But in Infinity War, when the he refuses to come out, Banner takes charge. He dons the Hulkbuster and goes into battle, even defeating a member of the Black Order.
Now, speaking of Bruce Banner, there is one very significant character that took place in the course of Thor : Ragnarok and Infinity War. Bruce isn't afraid of transforming into the hulk. He isn't scared of the fact that he might not turn back to Bruce Banner again. He knows that when odds play, he has to take up the responsibility of an Avenger.
And the small part where we see the hulk replying to Bruce gives us an idea that Bruce and Hulk are somehow two different souls in one human body. Now that's a really interesting plot for marvel to play with!
After all this, there is just one question that arises. Why did Heimdall choose the Hulk and not Thor to be sent to earth? Is it because Heimdall might have foreseen that Thor needed a new weapon to unleash his complete strength and there was no use of him to be on earth without stormbreaker. But could he have known that Thor would survive there when Thanos completely destroys the place? Maybe there some other reason to send the hulk back to earth instead of Thor. Tell me what you think about this through your comments.
Hey guys! Here's the new chapter! Please tell me through your comments what you think about it. I'd 'larbe' to know what you guys think.
Gonna do the next update really soon. Stay connected.
Jason Hunter : Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! I know you might want to read Thanos' characterization because his character is quite complex unlike other villains. But I was actually thinking that I would do all the heros first and then write Thanos in the end because I am expecting it to be longer than the others and will need longer time to write. Hope you understand. Stick with me I'm going to update this sooner now.
MarvelNutcase : I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for reviewing. Like you asked. The top five female SHIELD agents are Natasha, Peggy, Hill, Quake and Sharon. Special mention - AIDA. :)
