Just realized the real reason why Hulk snapped

They needed a “big glove”.

Think about it.

If Tony just made a regular sized glove Thanos wouldn’t have been able to get his fat hands into it, and the threat of Thanos getting the gauntlet wouldn’t have made much sense. They needed to keep the prop as a **big** glove.

And yeah I know it’s nano tech and Tony made it shrink to fit his hand, but Tony also has access to his suits AI and systems to be able to tell it to do that. IRL explanation for Hulk being the one to do it comes down to prop size

The glove automatically fits to the wearer's hand. It doesn't need Tony's instructions to do so.

DarkAtheris2026-01-05 07:29

Yeah, but why do that? It was a narrative device.

Because they have several avengers with different sized hands and hadn’t decided who was gonna do it yet. Why wouldn’t he design a glove that gave them the most options?

Wasnt it damaged to the point where it couldn't change sizes anymore?

Void_Warden2026-01-05 08:02

Not to my knowledge

That appears to be the implication since it never changed shape again after Hulk's snap, but it was never explicitly mentioned.

Do you think a nanotech Infinity Gauntlet could scale up to Galactus’ size?

Void_Warden2026-01-05 11:38

I think it'd run out of material at some point

repalec2026-01-05 07:35

I mean, yeah, that's part of the suspension of disbelief though. What matters is the in-universe reason, that Hulk absorbs gamma radiation *and* he's the most durable (at least, at this moment).

Nano tech doesn't need instructions to fit the wearer. Hulk snapped because the stones give off gamma radiation. Hints why he said it's like he was made for it.

I'm surprised you watched atleast 22 movies in life with this kind of suspension of disbelief(or lack there of)

Haha, true! From a real-world perspective, they probably needed a big glove for the Hulk because otherwise Thanos’ hands wouldn’t fit and the prop wouldn’t look right. Of course in the movie the Infinity Stones hold an enormous amount of cosmic energy that is extremely dangerous to handle. Most people, even other Avengers, wouldn’t be able to survive the process. Hulk’s body, thanks to his superhuman strength and gamma radiation, was durable enough to withstand the immense power of the Stones without despite getting his arm injured but in She hulk series his arm got healed so that's a plus. That’s why he was the one chosen to snap everyone back safely. So Hulk snapping made sense because he could survive the power of the Stones, but yeah, props definitely played a role too!
