THE INCREDIBLE HULK (2008) almost opened with one of the MCUโs darkest scenes. Bruce travels to the Arctic, pulls a revolver and tries to end his life. Before he can, the Hulk takes over and crushes the gun. THE AVENGERS later gave us the chilling payoff.
This is basically Cavill superman. Poised. Assertive. The internet somehow decided he needed to act like a goofball yelling about his feelings & any variation was character assassination. Snyder understood the assignment & they crucified him for it lol.
AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR (2018) almost introduced Smart Hulk in Wakanda. A deleted scene shows Natasha approaching Hulk with her familiar lullaby, only for him to calmly greet her in perfect English. โHello, Nat.โ Her stunned reaction is priceless.
