Endgame Directors CONFIRM Why Hulk Is Stronger Than Thanos 

Hulk's not supposed to get discouraged when he starts to lose. He gets angry and starts to overpower and that didn't happen with Thanos.

As much as I didn't like Ang Lee's Hulk, he was the only director to get him right. As Hulk gat angrier he got stronger and larger. The Russo Brothers and Edward Norton's Hulk are super strong but not comic correct. I do love those movies but I believe they depowered The Hulk for the Story. If Thanos had lost to Hulk it would have been a really short movie.

He is saying that the Hulk was barely transformed when he fought Thanos, but he was Hulk at the end of Ragnorok after fighting the wolf and punching Surtur. I’m pretty sure he had enough rage in him. Not disputing everything else he was saying in the video, just that

I thought thanos “used” the power stone. It wasn’t evident but that, to me would have given thanos an edge on a base level hulk

If hulk got angry enough, he could swat Thanos like a fly. Hulk wasn't especially angry at the beginning of the fight and after being so soundly trounced, he was probably becoming more afraid than angry. This was illustrated by hulk's unwillingness to come back out after the fight.

Hulk: hold up lemme play Getting Over It

I completely agree with you here. The 60's & 70's hulk was absolutely, supremely, undeniedbly, unstoppable. Todays hulk is only as strong in movies, and comics for just plot convenience. That's it. they don't even stick to character stats anymore.

I thought the only reason Thanos beat the Hulk was that he had the Power Stone.

I was really expecting Hulk to go worldbreaker when he learns of Natashas death or seeing tony die... the rematch we will never get.

Instant like for not starting the video with an ad. Very much appreciated

I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but in a recent comic I think it's Incredible Hulk annual #1 infinity watch he gave Thanos a thrashing. Thanos put up a decent fight but Hulk showed him what's what. Hulk is strongest there is.

Atleast the Hulk is getting a redemption with the new solo World War Hulk movie

After the humiliating ass whooping the Hulk got and that we haven't seen him since the first part of the Infinity wars movie, I don't give a crap what the directors want to retcon about it and I feel kind of offended for the Hulk missing in action for so long.

Look if the writers wanted to make Thanos a better fighter and stronger so be it , but not to the level of which he dismantled the Hulk .fighting skills or not, they powered him down to a ridiculous extent

The same hulk that gets beat up by Thor and iron man and doesn't get discouraged.

I think that is a no-brainer. He is the strongest there is, there is no limit to his power. Thanos does.

Well to pry someone's hand of you like that you need to be significantly stronger like 30 percent atleast. See how he just pulled hulk's hands of him. He was using much weaker muscle groups then hulk but still out powered him. Also Thor tired to smack him at the end and he barely budged he can send the hulk flying when he does that. Remember from Ragnarok when they were in the arena. Thor just did full swing and didn't even budge Thanos.

Experience in combat like he got being a gladiator champion in sakaar

Although Thanos beat him in the movies , if they had a second rounds he would have whoop the mad titan, that’s why they had to write end game as they did cuz Hulk is like a Saiyan, every battle he gets stronger

I knew it to be something because hulk doesn't have real training in fighting Thanks for the knowledge bro

So what you’re saying is the Hulk is a Siths dream from another universe

Dont forget Thanos might have tapped into the power stone also

They messed up Hulk. They did him bad and they can never recover from it

I think I know why Hulk didn't want to come out when he lost it's because after he realized that Bruce was only using him as a way to win fights right after Bruce was saying he didn't want to turn back into Hulk Hulk realize he was just being used Bruce went from not wanting to turn back in the Hulk and hating it to wanting him to turn back it just kind of pissed him off and he realized he wasn't treated like a person so he decided to see how banner can do on his own

"Un-briddled" rage 😂

Didn’t Valkyrie train Hulk during his Sakar stent?

The Russo brothers are always contradicting themselves, lol.

Lets just say Hulk is so inconsistent. This is the same Hulk that stopped a 200ft alien whale in NY with a single punch! Yet he couldn’t just throw Thanos through the ship and call it a day.

I wish we had got to see a Hulk and Thanos rematch.

I love the look of the original Edward Norton Hulk , the new Hulk has more of a gorilla look. I agree that Thanos is more skilled fighter but the Hulk did get training in the Sarkar , which the Russo Brothers seem to overlook

The hulk spent 2 years battling people of similar stature on sakar and was the reigning champion until thor shower up. It was poor writing to have him just rage charge thanos like that, thanos could have still outskilled him to set the movie up but it just doesn't make sense he still uses the baby giant fighting technique.

The 2008 hulk no doubt would give infinity war thanos a better fight

The Russo Brothers still nerfed the Hulk. If I were directing the Thanos fight scene I would have done it like this: The fight goes down much as it did, but once Hulk is down you see even more anger in his face. He grows in strength, but gets knocked down again, and this repeats several times until finally you see bolts of electricity around Hulk as he shows his first ever worldbreaker inclination. Now he's well above Thanos's ability to counter, even with his advanced fighting skill. At that point Thanos is now the one who is down and Ebony Maw clears his throat and says "Ahem", which Thanos knows as a signal to use the power stone. He does so and knocks Hulk straight out the side of the ship where he's floating in space to later be found by the Nova corp. As it stood, the Russo brothers totally nerfed Hulk.

I think the writers wrote Thanos stronger than the Hulk because they couldn't think of a clever way for Thanos to win the fight.

Usually, if you follow the Hulk's history, the more your push him, the more pissed-off he gets. (Meaning the more powerful & dangerous he gets). But as much as I love Mark Ruffalo's Hulk character, " he's a lot funnier" I only have one problem with it. He never seems to get the Hulk as scary and as high-end pissed as Edward Norton's Hulk was. Which could've turned the tide. So back to the point. If hulk would have gotten as angry and ferocious as he was in Johannesburg city, maybe the dual with Thanos would've turned a bit different. Just my opinion!

I just heard of the stand alone hulk movie they wanna make based on World War Hulk and 2 days later(today) the directors say Hulk is still stronger than Thanos? Without showing it in any movie thus far? Coincidence? No. They are hyping Hulk up this early so they have the next however long til the movie comes out to keep hyping World War Hulk up to the younger Audience to sell more tickets is all that is about

The Hulk/Thanos fight was garbage. Hulk would never be be surprised & look scared when his hands were pulled back. He would have snapped and went berserker on Thanos ripping him in two.

If you look at the grip Thanos uses to free himself of Hulks stranglehold, you'll notice that it is a type of move that does not work unless you are significantly stronger than your adversary. That scene clearly shows Thanos to be stronger, and the beatdown that follows shows Thanos to also be much more skilled. If Russos wanted to portray Thanos only as more skilled and not also physically more powerful, they should have made Thanos free himself in some other manouver. Thanos is in a position of weakness and Hulk in position of strength, yet Thanos still overpowers him.

Hulk got nerfed 😭 I know that he is physically stronger than Thanos.

Hulk has always been the strongest. MCU just haven't done a good job showcasing it.

The problem I see with this is that at one point in the fight, Thanos does simply out muscles the Hulk. This happens when the Hulk has his hands around the neck of Thanos, and Thano grabs the Hulk each of his hands and is able to remove them. This is actually even more impressive because the muscles used to pull the arms off of him are normally not as strong as the those by which Hulk was using to hold him. If they were simply trying to show that Thanos was a much more skilled fighter, they could have shown a skill move that allows a much weaker person to break free. It involves twisting your body to the side, while bringing your arm up at a 90 degree angle and then driving your triceps down with force. This will break the choke hold. The fact that they did show Thanos out muscling the Hulk was intentional and it was because they were really trying to show how formidable Thanos really was. Yes, it is possible that Hulk was not enraged enough to be at his strongest, but that seems weak to me as a reason considering what Thanos had just done to the ship and the people on it. Another inconsistancy involved how Thor and Hulk were able to knock each other nearly out of the arena, but when Hulk and Thanos fought, they mostly stood toe to toe. Each punch, by either one of them should have sent them crashing into and likely through some of the walls of the spacecraft. If you suggest that they were holding back so as not to destroy and outer wall giving an opening to space, then they should not have been able to hurt each other.

Afterall he is the strongest avenger even through Tony's standards.

This whole video ignores that hulk still beat abomination, which is a monster with the combat skill of the guy

That was all out bad writing to hype Thanos! True Hulk fans know Hulk gets mad when losing and the angrier he gets the stronger he gets!

Thanos is confusing. I’ve read he took on hull, the thing and Thor at the same time without the stones. Also that is power is a combination of his eternal/deviant genes, science, cybernetics and magic. He also just took a backhand from Thor and multiple punches from the hulk and hardly budged. I think MCU thanos is way above in power

Hulk clearly isn’t stronger if he’s the one that got man handled

1st off at the end of Thor the hulk was the hulk. He didn’t have to change. I the MCU has used the hulk as a punching bag to show how strong his opponents are. He was used for a measuring stick for strength in the MCU and been nerfed. After being hit by Thanos he should’ve gotten angrier and angrier fueling his rage and strength. Hulk would’ve most likely grabbed Thanos and use his strength instead of throwing those wild slow blows. I see Thanos winning cause of his skill set at the beginning but to flat out beat him unconscious is bizarre.

They were effective in making the main villain intimidating right off the bat though, something both Avengers and Age of Ultron failed at. In those two the villain was defeted fairly easily early on which left the impression that they didn’t really have a chance of winning anyway.

"Hulk has little in the way of training." He´d just spent two years on a planet as its resident gladiator...

Since Infinity War, A bunch of people are stronger than Thanos. Needed to be saved from Wanda, Captain Marvel was toe to toe with him, in "What if", Cull Obsidian beats him, Ultron Beats him, Gamora beats him.... MCU Thanos is a Scrub now.

thanos removed hulk's hands and held them like he was a child. He is stronger in the mcu

While the explanation is decent, the reality of what happened in the fight scene doesn't add up. It wasn't just hand to hand combat, he was shown to be able to break the Hulk's grip using brute force. He simply owned Hulk. Unrealistic and ruined the persona of Hulk completely for the rest of the films.

On top of the strength of the Hulk being so much more, the Russos continue to forget Hulks healing factor. Hulk should have been able to do way more damage to Thanos. What we don't know is how much extra juice Thanos was getting from the infinity stones, I think that was the key to being able to overpower the Hulk.

I don't like the fact that Hulk spent two whole years as The Grandmasters ultimate gladiator. But none of that came into play when he faced Thanos.

Nope….already said thanos kicked his ass without any stones

Yes, Thanos was smart to beat him early on! Worldbreaker Hulk would destroy Thanos!!! I myself would like to see that match with Hulk as Maestro!

Every time hulk loses to mad titan,he cleverly stops it early before hulk powers up more than him with time.

Well in this particular fight, i dont think it mattered how angry the hulk got. For thanos already had the power stone, which he seemingly didnt even use in his fight with the hulk. He just gave him the business with just his hands. He couldve just killed the hulk had he used the power stones abilities. Buuuuuut he had already won the fight so perhaps he didnt see a need to punish him further?

They can confirm it all they want, won’t change the media they actually put out. They dropped the ball HARD when it comes to the whole Hulk-vs-thanos dynamic

Talked for 9 minutes just to say...because Thanos is smarter and more experienced. Still doesn't make sense, since Thanos did not dodge. He blocked. And took several hits dead on, early on. Being smarter and more experienced doesn't explain those.

I honestly am disappointed with the MCU hulk - especially since they decided to just, do Professor Hulk. I'd love to see a scene where the savage hulk comes out again - some great catharsis after his humiliation in Infinity War and his lack of physical prowess in endgame A new hulk solo film would do the trick, but I don't know if we're gonna see that again I'd love to see the MCU hulk begin to tap into those upper levels of hulk strength in the comics - give him room to breath and Break Shit. Give me Worldbreaker Hulk...

I don't have a problem with Thanos knocking the Hulk down, it's Hulk staying down that's the problem. The whole reason you can't beat the Hulk through violence is because whenever he gets beat up, he gets angrier and stronger. That's why he's so feared by everyone.

Then by that logic wouldnt Wolverine be able to beat Hulk easier and faster than Thanos? He is the best at what he does. I think it wouldn't be that easy for him.

Well folks also have the remember. MCU Thanos is severely weakened and watered down. Thanos in the comics bodies base Hulk. He even makes the Hulk his pet dog in future what if scenarios. If course this is the MCU but it still reflects it.

Why do people keep saying that Hulk transformed off screen? He ended Ragnarok in hulk form and specifically said it’s dangerous to switch back and forth again.

How does NO ONE ever mention that Thanos shruck fear into Hulk....... THATS the real reason he over powered him and why Hulk never came out for the rest of the movie...

World war hulk literally split continents by stepping. If was angry enough he could have squash thanos like a big purple bug. The hulk can literally wield more force than the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs. There literally is no comparison to the hulk. I’m not even a big fanboy of the hulks really. I much prefer squirrel girl the way she killed thanos was pure jokes

Meh they nerfed Hulk in infinity war just to keep him from solving the problem in the first 15minutes

Hulk had just come from Sakaar where he had been a gladiator for years and would have had years to perfect his fighting ability. The more Thanos hit the Hulk the angrier and stronger he should of become. This did not happen, this is not the Hulk from the comics. As see when Ironman defeated the Hulk. This MCU version of the Hulk is much weaker and seems to have an upper limit to his power. Hopefully the MCU will find away to turn the Hulk into the character we know and love.

Yeah but Thanos getting up and pulling Hulk off of him is just pure Strength bro😭like Hulk was pushing down on him and he just Spread his arms. Although he was struggling a bit.

Thanos took the Hulk’s blows and overpowered him easily. What should have been an epic fight was over in seconds. Hulk need to get angrier after he was overpowered and punched.

Zombie Hulk Killed Thanos On Pure Rage, It’s A Fact, Look It Up And You Will See!!!

Doesn’t really matter now. Hulk up to Shang chi looks old and withered, especially with his disabled arm in a cast still 😢 they did him dirty.

The hulk vs Thanos fight scene was very telling if you know what to look for. The movement and striking by Thanos was deliberate and calculated, while hulks attacks were wild and powerful. Thanos knew how to use hulks own movements against him and struck the openings created by the excessive movement required for power moves. Many of thanos' attacks were counter attacks.

IMO, they trashed the Hulk in Infinity War and End game. Too scared to come out, what a joke. In the End Game, did he even throw a punch?

What everybody seems to forget his He's Got The Power Stone during this counter which gives him a huge amount of strength

Well the Hulk doesn't fight, not in the sense of having any real martial skills. The Hulk Smashes. And Banner doesn't know how to fight really at all. That is why, IMO, Professor Hulk was a major step down.

The best version of the serum is actually in falcon and winter soldier you get the strength without the bulk

Thanos handle all the avengers all by himself while hulk’s struggling to overpower the hulk-buster LOL! I mean come on, why not just accept that Thanos is stronger than hulk both physically or skill. Also he’s the strongest being in the universe at the time they fought. He has proven himself to be the strongest one out of all. How many fkn times do you want him to prove that he’s the strongest Just accept the fact. I am really sick of this! End of discussion.

I like that the Hulk is stronger than Thanos, but that Thanos outclasses the Hulk in every other way. I'm glad they didn't make Thanos like Superman. Thanos is insanely powerful, but can still be killed by the Scarlet Witch or Stormbreaker.

MCU hulk is just not hulk for me. He gets stronger the angrier he gets he was able to literally outsmart the entire x-men in the world war hulk comic. He literally goes toe to toe with The Sentry who is one of the most powerful superheroes in Marvel comics dude he broke the eastern seaboard with one fucking stomp. We all wanted to see that level of bonkers in endgame we wanted to see the true hulk we wanted to see the hulk absolutely decimate Thanos If not maybe just a fight with the hulk standing toe to toe with him. But I hope going into phase 4 we get a little crazier events which is why I am looking forward to Doctor Strange Multiverse Of Madness, Thor Love And Thunder and Antman Quantamania.

I think the reason he really won was he already had an infinity stone. It gave him like +10 strength lol

Gamma radiation is the most destructive power in the universe. It is also supposedly what gave Banner Hulk abilities. I never considered Edward Norton's Hulk as in any way canonical to the Avengers version. Nor the first live action one either. Neither gave Banner/Hulk a graceful pathway to learning to control the character for good. And, oh God, "Professor Hulk"? He gave away half his Hulk strength to retain his smarts even though he had figured out how to bring his consciousness to bear in full Beast Hulk mode!

Hulk got bodied by thanos, the directors are waffling

Hulk in MCU is a weak asf

Whether it’s movies or comics, Thanos is just stronger 😂 Hulk can theoretically become stronger than anyone, but that can only happen if given enough time, and depending on the circumstances, how angry he can get. Hulk simply cannot summon an infinite amount of strength on command. And why is it so hard for people to believe that Thanos, an eternal, who’s lived centuries fighting and learning on hundreds to thousands of worlds, is stronger than the Hulk? I’m not mad that Thanos beat Hulk in Infinity War, but that Hulk didn’t come out after Cull Obsidian and Ebony Maw showed up on Earth to take the Time Stone. A Hulk vs Cull Obsidian was definitely a match we needed to see. Which is what I was hoping would happen in Wakanda since they did show Hulk in Wakanda in the Infinity War trailer.

The Russos had to totally neuter the Hulk…otherwise this would have been far more interesting.

Hulk is undoubtedly far more durable and physically stronger. He didn't get the chance to get really pissed. If he had, then infinity war would've been a short film

Thanos is way stronger than the hulk hands down. He is just cool about it

I would have love to see Hulk get a rematch-especially with him being in a seriously pissed off mode! Would love to see him and Cull Obsidian go at it too! 😀

So are we gonna forget that the mcu hulk is canon to Edward Nortons hulk but just has different actors ? If that's the case banner should know martial arts since he practiced it to control his rage. The fact that banner seems completely defenseless in the mcu doesn't make any sense.

Why do you keep saying the same thing over and over different ways? The video only needs to be 2-3 minutes long. Blocking your channel.

I think it's telling that Hulk, even if at a base state, was able to push Thanos around that much and very casually I might add. He even forces Thanos into a full tumble with the initial strike. That's knocking Thanos off his freaking feet. No one else (aside from Wanda with her TK in Endgame) has bodied Thanos that hard. Even Tony in one of his most powerful armors, has to do like a whole combo ending in giant rocket powered hammers to make Thanos stumble backwards like one step.

U called hulk the strongest avenger. Thor made it clear when trying access something an called himself "strongest avenger ". Stan Lee needed a stronger person then hulk the strongest man. He found that in asgaard with Thor.

It’s confusing how thanos defeated Thor an hulk so easily It just doesn’t make sense Thor just realized his thunder god abilities in ragnorok yet they got him tied up on the ground ab all the people dead or dying around him. An the t he hulk just goes blah. They put that scene together terribly wrong it’s like the reverted both characters from their story arcs

Seems like after endgame the writers and directors of the mcu have only wanted to make thanos less cool and badass. What if dumped on him, and now statements like this Just let him rest as the most badass villain the mcu has had and probably will ever have.

Incredible hulk and hulk mcu is STORNGER but Thanos is skillet fighter than him

i see a video about the world breaker hulk movie if they will do that iwish they finally give is Amadeus Cho and the Grean Scar

I think in what if there should be a episode of Thanos and hulk fight but hulk and thanos fight leads to world breaker hulk it a cool concept but there are some flaws to this theory

This does make Hulk's beating a bit better, but this is post-Sakaar. I think Thanos should have at needed to use the power stone to help.
