EDITORIAL: Why The Hulk Should Be Killed Off in Avengers Age of Ultron

The Hulk is not a popular character anymore, and he just plain out sucks in the films. So should they just instantly axe him or should they keep him for more pointless scenes? Hit the jump for more!

Editorial Opinion

The Avengers has it's fair share of popular characters. Including a fair share of unpopular characters. Mainly most of it was determined in the 2012 film The Avengers with Iron Man getting the leadership role front and centre while the rest of the characters take a back seat. Yes although that everyone did get a tremendous share of screen time, except The Hulk. 
 
The first time the Hulk was introduced into the new Marvel cinematic universe was in 2008 with The Incredible Hulk. Which followed with no sequel at all until the Hulk's full second appearance with a brand new actor and look for The Avengers. I think mainly Marvel sees the popularity of the Hulk has already died. The story of Bruce Banner is becoming a tired cliche the fans don't want to see anymore which is what they keep repeating. Tormented man exposed with gamma radiation that turns green when he gets angry. It's a totally unrealistic concept to be placed among the new cinematic universe. The fans can not relate to this character anymore. The only single greatest moment he had in The Avengers was when he smashed Loki and I don't believe there was anything more to him. Now if you are saying okay we may not need the Hulk but we still need Bruce Banner your wrong.

Along with Tony Stark were going to be introduced to Ant-Man another genius later on. There isn't room for three brilliant minds at all it would over complicate things further. Bruce Banner was as much use to SHIELD as a piece of wood can be. "A Gamma radiation signature, wow you know that's really dangerous be careful, that's all I have to say," sums up most of his science mumbo jumbo talk. Then he had a boring after credits scene in Iron Man 3 where he just falls asleep on a couch, yeah that sums up me watching your performance Mark Ruffalo. Eric Bana had more chemistry as Bruce Banner than him which leads me to wonder why Marvel didn't rehire him. 
 
All the Hulk ever does is cause more destruction than the villains. Don't you think it would start to become problematic if your paying for his expenses. For Avengers 2 just throw The Hulk in a spaceship and send him to space. To make sure World War Hulk or Planet Hulk those ridiculous Hulk storylines won't happen blow up the spaceship and done. Goodbye Hulk. We don't care about you Hulk cause you are a pointless character. 

Looking at Marvel's film line up and rumored films they don't about The Hulk anymore and so why should the fans even care? We already have Thor who can serve as the team brute. He is literally the God of Thunder. And we have some big giant green guy for what on the team just his strength? Oh please Thor has as much strength as The Hulk plus he can control lightning and he has an awesome hammer! Does The Hulk have that? No, that's what I thought. 

Nobody wants to see Bruce Wooden Banner again and The Hulk, Marvel if you are reading this stop acting silly and get rid of the character, thanks. He is also a major waste of their budget, do you know how much it cost to do the CGI on him? Alot of money and money they should spend better like for better effects and better pay towards the actors. Leave your comment below on what you think of The Avengers worst and most pointless character?

Hulk hater! Watch for Hulk to be a wild card in AoS just like he is in the comics. Yeah, I don't see another Hulk film unless its Planet hulk (unrealstic) but he is canon and he can't be "killed". While all the other Avengers organize their efforts this guty represents a primal response to the threats that pop up and thats why Whhedon loves him. He is the nuclear response to all threats and even the heroes don't know what he will do. He may be brilliant but no other hero has the curse that haunts them like this guy. He will be the MCU's accidental hero and we will all love him for that. I think his role in the first 3 phases of MCU is pivotal.

how dare you suggest killing the hulk, which is pretty much impossible. "i put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spat it out"

It'll be Black Widow who gets killed off. She's the only one whose actually talked to each Avenger, even Thor.

Well written article, but you should hire an editor...

your wrong = you're wrong
were going = we're going

Also, how will Ms. Marvel fit into The Avengers? Or possibly Black Panther? The Hulk is what made people go back and see the movie a second, third, fourth, and even fifth time! Your opinion on this just doesn't hold much water, Jacky.

Sorry.

I'm trying to figure out if I only exist in your head, or if you only exist in mine, Jacky boy. Maybe we're both dead and in hell burning till we're a lovely shade of charcoal.

That would certainly explain the old man's presence.

Hell no! Hulk is what made the movie for me, him and Thor.

I don't give half a shit about Black Widow and Hawkeye. To be honest, almost no one does. And I liked Cap, but was expecting more. The so-called "update" was like five steps backward, and I had already been disappointed with his character due to the poor-ness of his first film. Iron Man was good, but Christ, I had already seen enough of the guy. It was Hulk and Thor that carried the film for me personally and what made it good.

And, the Hulk lacks good screen time? What the hell man? Hulk had the best scenes in the entire film! So no, this horrible idea.
