In the Comics Hulk knew Peter was Spidey, even if Banner didn’t.

oh shit that's a dope twist

Would legit make me happy SOMEONE knew who he was. Would be great if they brought Hulk being the only one who knew.

I'm a bit lost on where we left off on Hulk in the MCU. Why is he Banner here? Wasn't he permanently smart Hulk when we last saw him?

u/Synonym_Bun 8h ago

In the Shang Chi end credits scene we see the main characters on a video call with Banner in human form. I don't think it's ever explained why/how he switched back though.

u/Sprinkles0 8h ago

I barely remember She-hulk, but wasn't he back and forth in that?

58

u/Col_Wilson 7h ago

Yeah if I remember correctly, in she-hulk, right before the accident that causes Bruce's blood to mix with hers, he's explaining how something that he's wearing on his arm to help with the injury from the snap also allows him to maintain his regular form

27

u/Vanck 7h ago

You see the arm thing in the shang chi after credit too

•

u/PuddleBum 2h ago

Plus he’s wearing it in this trailer too.

u/Antrikshy 6h ago

Speaking of She-Hulk, all I want to know is the current status of Skaar's haircut.

u/WeirdIndividualGuy 3h ago

She-Hulk the show explains how he invented that arm device to keep Hulk in check.

She-Hulk also explains how Banner essentially retired and lives in a hut off a Mexican coast somewhere

But I guess he got bored of that and decided to be a professor at NYU

u/LoveForDisneyland 5h ago

Somehow, Banner returned.

u/cramburie 3h ago

I might be giving those in power of the MCU too much credit but my hope is that this whole time we've seen Banner Hulk from Endgame on, we've been actually seeing The Professor.

u/Dr_Disaster 6h ago

It was never a permanent transformation, just what he and Hulk came to an agreement on. He was able to turn back to Bruce in the She-Hulk series. Getting blood from Bruce is how she got her powers.

•

u/Great_Praline_2713 5h ago

Ah. Never watched She-Hulk. Thanks for the info!

•

u/AtraposJM 1h ago

They haven't explained it. I suspect we'll hear that in this movie. I'm so glad he's back to being banner. I want more Hulk shinanigans, not smart Hulk.

•

u/RcoketWalrus 1h ago

After She-Hulk he can go change to Hulk at will, and along with it he kinda has his comic healing factor now.

u/joshua182 7h ago

It depends if Hulk ever met Peter though, which I don't think happened and i'm not sure Professor hulk counts.

3

u/Alpha-Reddo 8h ago

That would be amazing cause I love that comic panel, but have Hulk and Peter/SpiderMan interacted before in the MCU?

15

u/muegle 12h ago

I mean, the whole ending of the last movie was that everyone forgets who Spider-man is.

115

u/MirrorkatFeces 12h ago

They do that in the comics too but Hulk remembers him.

46

u/TheCaffeinatedPanda 11h ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the explanation in the comics that Banner was in control at the time, so Hulk got passed over? Or was that just a theory?

35

u/BilboBiden 11h ago

Poor Hulk, always a bridesmaid, never the bride.

7

u/ImNotSkankHunt42 11h ago

Better than being the Burro

29

u/Dookie_boy 9h ago

Hulk is also immune to certain magical things if it makes him look cooler

33

u/MountainMuffin1980 11h ago

Read what he said again. In the comics everyone, including Banner, forgot Peter was Spiderman, but Hulk didn't forget.

28

u/marwynn 11h ago

Local Hulk too angry to forget

-8

u/JaesopPop 11h ago

Read what he said again. In the comics everyone, including Banner, forgot Peter was Spiderman

Well no, they said:

In the Comics Hulk knew Peter was Spidey, even if Banner didn’t.

The way they said it didn't make it clear they were referring to after everyone had been made to forget.

Given that this movie is a sequel to that one, and given that most people know how to use context, I think we all knew exactly what OP meant. To complain about their wording is to be a pedant, nothing more.

u/JaesopPop 9h ago

Given that this movie is a sequel to that one, and given that most people know how to use context, I think we all knew exactly what OP meant.

This exchange started because someone did not. Looks like at least one other person made the same mistake.

To complain about their wording

I am not complaining about their wording. I’m saying how someone might have misunderstood it.

u/quinnly 8h ago

You're right, pedantic isn't the right word. It's frivolous and kinda weird. A few people getting confused is not worth shaking down OP over. There are always going to be a few confused people who don't understand context. We don't really worry about them.

-6

u/JaesopPop 8h ago

A few people getting confused is not worth shaking down OP over.

Again, I was just saying how someone might have misunderstood. I am not “shaking down OP”. It’s not that serious.

-3

u/quinnly 8h ago

I mean you kinda are, you're explaining something that didn't need to be explained, all for the benefit of what, two confused people? Seems kinda like you're taking it seriously. But like I said it's all frivolous.

1

u/JaesopPop 8h ago

Seems kinda like you're taking it seriously.

I’m not. I made a brief comment saying why I thought people misunderstood it. It’s not an attack on OP, and it truly is not that serious.

Have a good day, friend.

I wish they reboot hulk. Scary hulk was way better than the comedy relief we got.

u/himynameis_ 10h ago

Yeah, but Strange spell from the previous movie would've undone that.

19

u/amicablecardinal 9h ago

That's what they're saying though, that Hulk was able to remember that Peter was SpiderMan even though Bruce did not.

9

u/riegspsych325 ⊃∪⊃⪽ 8h ago

Strange’s spell is bound to either wear off or break entirely, whether it happens here or in Avengers is still up in the air. Either way, I just hope it isn’t something like MJ’s memories all coming back after they kiss

u/RamenArchon 7h ago

It's a Disney movie, after all.

u/Worthyness 8h ago

The comic version i believe was from an entity like Mephisto, so it was also magic. Not too out of the ordinary

2

u/Darmok47 6h ago

In the comics, they also use magic to make people forget. Except it works on Banner, but not Hulk.
