Hulk should have had a redemption arc in Endgame

Firstly, I’ll start by saying that I absolutely loved Endgame. I do think Infinity war was a better movie - but Endgame managed to tie up a lot of loose ends and give us an epic finale!

That being said, given that the movie was one big redemption arc; with many of the characters making amends. I truly think they messed up by not having Hulk get revenge on Thanos.

I was waiting for it to happen and it just never did. Justice for Hulk man!

Revenge on Thanos isnt a redemption arc.

Hulk had a redemption arc. He brought the two halves of himself together (the intelligence of Banner and the strength of Hulk) and brought them together in a way that allowed him to be the only one who could successfully withstand the power of the stones and bring everyone they lost back.

Hulk went from a being only known for destruction, to one of restoration. That's redemption.

I’ve given you an award; because you’re right! I just wanted Hulk to kick Thanos’ ass man.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-10-25 01:56

That's very kind and we can agree on that hahah

I do wish we could’ve gotten even a ten second clip on the battlefield where Hulk at least gets a solid hit on Thanos. That’s all I wanted.

I wanted to see that rematch too! Maybe in Secret Wars they can surpise us with a rematch but I have a feeling the folks at Marvel have other plans 😞

You get it. He had a role to play. A big one. Like if he's not able to think in hulk form, they lose.

It just seems like "but he's my favorite and he wasn't the main character" seems to be the problem. Its not the comics, he's number 4 of 4 and if your just upset he didn't smash, get over it

Not dunking on OP or anything. Not even close. But there does seem to be this wide spread sentiment that the only story can have is him getting angrier and angrier, stronger and stronger, and I really just don't find that compelling at all

SuperMarioPlayah2025-10-25 03:24

I get you. I just wanted to see him stand toe to toe with Thanos and earn his pride back from the previous fight!

SuperMarioPlayah2025-10-25 03:25

Not even! He’s not even my favourite Avenger, I just wish he gave Thanos a few digs in Endgame.

PrestigiousHumor23102025-10-25 03:33

Oh I know, that was more directed to others who do say that.

Hard disagree. Ragnarok really drilled home the fact that Hulk is his own being, not just an enraged dumb Banner. Banner basically killed Hulk, really sad honestly.

Hulks redemption arc was making peace with himself and accepting who he is, becoming professor Hulk in the process. This allowed him to have both the strength and mind to undo the snap which was the ultimate revenge on Thanos. Undoing the work he gave his life for.

I mean he only resurrected half the beings in the entire universe while suffering horrific radiation burns that caused his arm to atrophy, what a lazy fucker.

Yea i don't feel like the hulk necessarily needed to win in another fight. But the fight should have shown the hulks engaged in battle with Thanos along with the other three. It could have had Thanos repeating some of his dominance early on but the difference is that the fight continues and the hulks rage grows the longer the fight goes on then have the turning point where the hulks power is equal and eventually surpasses thanos to the point its obvious . Then right when it looks like the hulk is going to do it, have some chance event bail thanos out. Giving the directors and marvel their thanos is not beaten by the hulk moment and satisfying the fans thirst for redemption and finally get to see the hulk the mcu has been waiting for. Could have been soo cool. Man they blew that opportunity.

Bringing everyone back is his redemption.

SuperMarioPlayah2025-10-25 03:25

It is, but I just wanted him to beat Thanos around a bit. That first fight was a battering - I wanted him to return the favour.

Prize-Individual94302025-10-25 02:45

Proving he could kick Thanos' ass was not something that was important to him. But I'll admit it would have been cool to see him knock Thanos around with one hand.

SuperMarioPlayah2025-10-25 03:26

Yeah man, that’s what I wanted!

Neandersaurus2025-10-25 02:52

Not a redemption arc, but he is the one that snaps everyone back, foiling thanos' plan.

Caracallademise2025-10-25 02:59

Hulk was so injured at that point he would've just gotten bodied again

NitroBlast45632025-10-25 07:17

I think he kinda already did

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-25 19:34

“I put the brains and the brawn together.”

“The radiation is mostly gamma. Feels like I was made for this.”

He found peace with his 2 selfs and snapped to restore half the universe.

Hell of a redemption arc.

I’m with you. It was complete bullshit that everyone else got to fight him in the movie except the first Avenger Thanos even fought, which was Hulk. Russo’s totally screwed up there and I really hope they fix it this time around.
