Does Ruffalo's Hulk continue or contradict Norton's? To find out, I take a close look at his portrayal in The Avengers. This will be a part of a series analyzing Hulk's character throughout the MCU.

  • Ruffalo felt like he was doing what the director wanted. Norton was the one that he knew how it should be.
  • Norton for me absolutely nailed the Incredible Hulk. He's very intense and always in a agitated state. Unlike Ruffalo it's all about the jokes and banter!
  • @zoppletee5400
    In this version of things, Norton's Hulk is Savage Hulk and Rufflalo's Hulk is the Avengers Hulk. It's actually really good storytelling. I don't blame Ruffalo for the fall of Hulk, I blame Marvel, the writers, the directors.
  • @mechajay3358
    Norton's Bruce Banner Hulk is better. Especially given how Ruffalo's Hulk has been handled recent.
  • @Nova-zk5gn
    Norton Hulk would beat the shit out of Ruffalo Hulk. Also he was so much more intimidating to me
  • @TK_TK811
    It's kinda disappointing that they didn't let hulk embrace his full potential and just made him a joke of a character along with Thor.
  • Mark's Hulk looks comic accurate and behaves like a monstrous brute. Norton's Hulk looks ferocious, actually uses his brain occasionally and is overall more badass.

    Wow, I suddenly realize how great this character WAS. I knew before that he was a way better character because of all these things, then we have “smart hulk”. Technology aside, he’s a joke now. Despite all the things Joss is a pretty big asshole for, he handled this character properly. Lois did as well and made a very strong structure for a great character to grow. The points you make are very insightful and help explain his character and growth so much better. Thank you so much for this.
  • For me, both Incredible Hulk and Avengers 1 are the BEST portraits of Hulk in the MCU and probably in media besides Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes and Ang Lee Hulk, I miss these versions of Hulk so much, even Avengers Age of Ultron respected more the Hulk than what came after that film.

    I always felt like Ruffalo walked a fine line between trying to stay low and keep to himself and also being charismatic and enjoyable to watch. I think this is important for a two hour movie made for general audiences.
  • There is a reason why Dr Jekill and Mr Hide is a classic. The further they get Hulk from that concept the less interesting he is.
  • Is everyone just now realizing that norton’s hulk was way better and would beat the shit out of ruffalo’s hulk? Lol I’ve been saying that ever since it happened
  • Can we talk about why Bruce needed a disguise in Thor ragnorak after he changed back when all that planet knew for 2 years is hulk. They didn't even know who Bruce was. 🤷‍♂️
  • @animeking1357
    You talk at the end about how the studio seems to act like the 2008 movie doesn't exist. This resonated with me a lot because with both Mark talking over as Bruce and redesigning Hulk to look more like him it made me think that the 2008 movie wasn't part of the MCU.
  • @Oldschool1943
    Norton was the best hulk bcuz it paid homage to 70 & 80's hulk while also being its own thing that differs from the rest and Bana was the best and most convincing Bruce banner in live action, i also like Eric Bana hulk too. both are infinitely better than RUFFALO.
