Welcome back to Screenrant! Just a quick warning: If the title didn’t give it away already -- there’s going to be some MAJOR Endgame spoilers in this one!

The five year jump in Avengers: Endgame completely changed our characters as we know them. Besides Thor letting himself go a bit, one of the biggest transformations has to be between Bruce Banner and the Incredible Hulk. Through some off-screen experiments, the two forms molded into one as a permanent green monster often referred to in the comics as Professor Hulk. While the new take on Hulk was refreshing to see -- the character definitely didn’t pan out like we expected it to.

So what went wrong? Well, we’ll tell you! While Banner’s smarts definitely come into play, there was a lot more potential for the character to shine on the big screen in Endgame. The Incredible Hulk has had quite the journey in the MCU. After the largely ignored or forgotten debut of the character in Edward Norton’s 2008 solo film, the Hulk remained an active co-star in other movies like the Avengers films and Thor: Ragnarok. His stories would play out through these films, in small bits or moments where we got to know the character and his journey as the scientist struggled to control the monster inside of him.

From Thor: Ragnarok to Avengers: Infinity War -- and now Endgame, a three movie story arc put the internal struggle between Bruce Banner and Hulk right in the middle of the external battle with foes like Hela and Thanos. After the events of Age of Ultron, Hulk controlled Banner’s body for two years, taking him on a space adventure which eventually ended up on the planet Sakaar. Banner was able to return briefly in Thor: Ragnarok, before Hulk took over again. A lashing from Thanos resulted in Hulk hiding away in Banner’s body for a majority of Infinity War and we never see the true separate character again.
