Despite all these appearances in MCU movies , Thor : Ragnarokwas the only cinema that had the proper Hulk . The traditional interpretation of the character that most audiences are conversant with is an unbelievably muscular force of destruction who speaks in wide-eyed sentence and possesses both a violent temper and a child - same innocence at the same time . TheMCU ’s Hulkhas share at least some of these qualities in all of his moving-picture show , butThor : Ragnarokis the only one that really gets him right . The Incredible Hulk , The Avengers , andAvengers : Age of Ultronaccurately adapt his passion and raw exponent , but lose the mark jolly when it add up to his personality . Across all three movies , he had no more than a fistful of spoken line of credit .
Everything changed inThor : Ragnarokwhen Marvel leaned further on the classic strip in regards to its approach to theHulk . Here , Hulk ’s childish eubstance language when getting raging , observe about him being warm than Thor , and way of speak in ecumenical are all way thatThor : Ragnarok’sHulk utterly resemble the comic al-Qur’an hero . It was an confessedly dim process , but Marvel had finally reverse him into the true Hulk from Marvel Comics .
regrettably , this was a short - last phase that ended the second Hulk rushed into battle with Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) at the source ofAvengers : Infinity War . The point of Hulk losing the battle was obviously to demonstrate how grave Thanos is , but a downside to this is that it detracted from Hulk ’s reputation in the comics as “ the strongest one there is ” . rather of fixing this by giving the two a replay , Marvel had Hulk refuse to help the Avengers struggle Thanos ’ regular army , despite it seeming contrary to his theatrical role at this full stop to show him actively avoiding fighting . Marvel then effectively killed the literal Hulkby dissolve his persona and giving his body to Bruce Banner inAvengers : Endgame . Theoretically , the MCU could get Hulk back on the correct caterpillar tread by return to his original contour inShe - Hulk , but the chances of that seem low , as Marvel may be hesitating to go backward with any of its quality .
