How would you have incorporated Hulk in Infinity War?

I would have had him get his ass kicked by Thanos to highlight how dangerous Thanos really is
Oh wait…
SweatyEddie1232025-11-12 01:47
But would you have him never come out again?
outride20002025-11-12 01:48
He should've bursted out of the Hulkbuster against Thanos in the end.
CPTKickass2025-11-12 01:52
If he busted out just to fight minions it would lose impact. If he fought and lost to Thanos again, it would be redundant. If he won, it would undue the victory Thanos has at the end of the movie.
I don’t see how hulk showing up makes the movie better in any way.

This right here.

Have hulk fight thanos and start to win, have one of the black order get the last stone and manage to give it to thanos mid fight to show how much more dangerous he is with all stones.
CPTKickass2025-11-12 02:29
I don’t think that has the same impact because Hulk losing to someone wielding cosmic forces isn’t that surprising.
Thanos beating Hulks ass without using the gauntlet was a perfect 30 second scene that told everyone watching that this dude was no fucking joke, stones or no stones.
Skreamie2025-11-12 04:17
Did Thanos not already have the gauntlet when they first fought?
CPTKickass2025-11-12 04:24
He had the power stone at that point, but didn’t use it.
The directors had the stones glow and make noise when activated to let the audience know when he was using them.
Kinda neat to see when he did and didn’t use each stone throughout the movie, like when he was axed in the chest and uses both the time stone (to heal the wound) and space stone (portal) to peace out after the snap.
What_the_Zucc2025-11-12 02:00
He was supposed to, there was some merchandise that reflected that.
Poptart9162025-11-12 02:03
I do believe that was originally the plan until fairly late in the game. Apart from the trailer shot of Hulk in Wakanda, I believe there was official art and even an Infinity War branded toy and a Funko Pop that depicted that scene, even though it never happened in the movie. Could’ve also just been a major misdirect, but it seems odd to do all that for a cool scene that was never going to make the cut.
Antrikshy2025-11-12 02:17
This is just scripted Reddit discussion at this point and probably evidence of dead internet theory.
CPTKickass2025-11-12 01:49
I think it was fine as played. Lots of characters needed screen time and it would have been redundant (and unsatisfying) to have Hulk just beat up minions after watching Thanos thump that ass.
wintermute_132025-11-12 01:58
Apparently, test audiences were so excited at talking Hulk at the end, that they weren't sad at everyone disappearing.
27Rench272025-11-12 02:10
Honestly if this is true, well done to them on changing it. The ending we got in fully packed theaters was seriously a once in a generation experience
wintermute_132025-11-12 06:48
Yes, I've changed my mind more favorably towards the movie, because of this.
Honestly, we really need a mini series set during the blip, with one subplot being Professor Hulk forming, another being Ronin tracking down mob bosses, etc. I won't even mind if it's animated, even though I usually don't care for their modern styles.
hell20_2025-11-12 03:24
Yes, to show both the brutal impact Thanos had and the helplessness of the Avengers.
Levanjm2025-11-12 01:49
He would have smashed.
Xelopheris2025-11-12 01:50
Without changing too much, banner hulks out during the final fight, but that armor stays intact and adapts for hulk.
MightyPainGaming2025-11-12 01:55
Thats the face I make if someone opens the bathroom door while I'm taking a shit.

JaydenPope2025-11-12 01:56
TBH infinity war should have planted the seeds of introducing a stronger version of hulk. Professor hulk was mostly comedic, so moving towards green scar or even world breaker hulk would be a better move.
JBTriple2025-11-12 02:06
Those are the same Hulk.
JaydenPope2025-11-12 03:46
D'oh google fail
CootahBrown2025-11-12 02:19
I think it would have been awesome if Hulk busted out of the armor towards the end of the Wakanda battle. Specially when the audio gets muted during Thanos’ final charge for Vision’s mind stone.
There would be a brief moment of hope, but Thanos would still swat him away just as easily as he did everyone else.
Artoodeetwo_12025-11-12 03:22
I'd prefer it to be - Hulk and Banner have the conversation (deleted), Hulk busts out just as Thanos snaps - and Hulk yells in rage as he sees all around him getting dusted away.
PezDiSpencersGifts2025-11-12 02:31
I pretend that the deleted scene of hulk smashing thru the hulk buster armor is what happened and that professor hulk was actually the result of Banners body and hulks mind being snapped away and ignore whatever explanation occurred in Endgame
Defiant_Wheel48882025-11-12 02:56
Marvel planned to show more of Banner rather than Hulk. It kind of worked for them in terms of cost and other factors, but for fans (including me), it was disappointing. Many superheroes in that film got their moments and applause from the audience, but Hulk only got laughs and sad faces.
If I were to change that a little, I would have involved Banner more in the science work in Wakanda with Shuri, rather than just standing around.
Apart from that, there are a few ways Banner could have triggered Hulk:
Falling from a great height.
Asking Wanda to trigger Hulk, as she had already done once before.
Having Hulk rage out of the Hulkbuster armor—not during the battle, but when Thanos was forging him into the wall. Hulk could have just broken out of the armor and come back for the fight.
Honestly, some people mentioned that this wouldn’t have changed anything in the battle. The only thing that could have made the Avengers win would be if they had destroyed Vision’s stone while Shuri was working on it and replaced it with a fake stone or some kind of cell that could trap Thanos when he came near Vision.
However, others might argue that if Thanos found Vision, he could just focus on him, use the Time Stone, and still get what he wanted. So yes, that would also have been a failed attempt—but at least it would have given Banner some credit for trying something instead of just being part of a funny scene in Infinity War.
Obraxiss2025-11-12 02:59
Mostly the same, but during his fight with Thanos on the Statesman, I would've had Thanos's final hit be him using the power stone, (mostly to make it clear he wasn't using it during the rest of the fight, given I've seen a fair bit of confuision over that)
matty_nice2025-11-12 03:32
Banner still crashes into Dr Strange, but he joins Iron Man, Strange, and Spider-Man on Titan. He helps the larger group with the Guardians to fight Thanos.
So we get Hulk vs Cull Obsidian, and Hulk vs Thanos.
As Tony is leaving Earth to chase after Spider-Man and Strange, he records a message that gets sent to Pepper. The message is a distress call and a summary of what is happening. Pepper is the one that has to call Cap to give him the message as Tony gives her the phone before leaving, telling her if he doesn't come back to call that number. She goes to Rhodes, and they all meet up there with Pepper explaining what happened.
sisydean2025-11-12 03:33
have him smash more stuff
natayaway2025-11-12 04:17
I said this 9 months ago, taking inspiration from the Funko Pop that was based off of early drafts of the movie...

> 1. One-armed Hulk Buster, Bruce "Screw you you big green asshole, I'll do it myself", gets a sucker punch in just like in the actual scene
> 2. Cull Obsidian stands back up and seizes the Hulk Smasher's helmet and starts tearing it off. Face reaction of Bruce in fear as the helmet starts to crack, he does a repulsor blast that manages to weaken Obsidian's grasp, Obsidian panics and uses what remains of his giant retractable mace claw hammer to golf club him away.
> 3. Bruce starts crawling away, difficult with the suit only having 3 limbs, maybe a cut to Bruce's face as he screams for the Hulk to help. Obsidian slow walks and prepares to swing the mace.
> 4. Hulk arm catches it from the opening in the suit, suit torso explodes open and Hulk headbutts Obsidian, before he regresses back inside Bruce who is dazed, confused from the whole thing, half exposed in the suit. "Hulk?"
> 5. Bruce spots the rocket arm, and the scene plays out exactly the same, just with Bruce half exposed instead of in the suit. Obsidian flips out the wrist blade, Hulk Smasher rocket arm cuffed on his hand, goes flying and gets roasted. "Phew... Hulk, we got a lot to figure out pal... Hulk? Hulk??""
>
>Get the Hulk erupting out of the suit, but also Hulk is still moody and doesn't show up for the rest of the movie. Same end result, same tone. Even when Bruce tries to tackle Thanos later, that scene would play out the same other than Bruce being partially exposed -- he still phases through and gets trapped in the cliffface.
Soulsbornekiroringer2025-11-12 04:22
I would’ve kept it the same in infinity war. It was endgame where they went wrong. Smart Hulk was executed extremely poorly. So was Thor. I feel that Smart Hulk should’ve came later on during the multiverse saga and Thor, rather than being a drunken retard, should’ve fallen into a more edgy kind of darkness, struggling to control his rage throughout the film. Then he could do the snap instead of Hulk as a way to kind of redeem himself, so that Hulk could get his much needed rematch against Thanos instead.
Illustrious-Sign30152025-11-12 04:27
Have him break out of the Hulkbuster during the final battle
Wooden-Radish-90082025-11-12 07:09
No, Hulk shouldn't have Hulked out at the end. The whole point is that the Avengers' joint weaknesses are what leads to their downfall. This includes Banner and Hulk's inability to reconcile their differences.
I swear people just watch these things for aura moments and then have the audacity to criticize the writing that they don't pay attention to in the first place.
darksaber5222025-11-12 07:28
If it was up to me, I'd have Hulk come out during the Battle of Wakanda to stop Cull Obsidian from attacking one or more of the Avengers. Perhaps he could shout something like "You no hurt Hulk's Friends!" to show that he's doing this willingly, not as Banner's weapon.
